Chapter 63: Demonstration (2)
However, before I started my demonstration, I suddenly turned to look at the group who was watching me.
They were surprised to see me looking their way, but they calmly waited to see what I had to say.
I gave a cough to clear my throat before saying, "I'm sure that everyone here already has an idea of what my awakened power is. Before I make this demonstration, I just want to remind everyone that it never says that my awakened power cannot affect myself."
Then without waiting for a response, I turned back to face the wooden puppet.
The others who had come with the guild master revealed confused looks, but Bing Lan herself revealed an interested look. It was clear that she understood what I meant with these words.
And if they were true…then it would mean that she had found a true talent.
The Ice Princess also had a strange look on her face.
It wasn't one of interest, but a look of slow recognition.
It was as if she was slowly understanding something…something that she should have already understood.
Back then in the break zone, when he suddenly appeared in front of her…could it be that he was using…?
Facing the wooden puppet in front of me, I took a deep breath before suddenly saying, "Faster."
Then with a single step, the scene in front of me suddenly changed. I had been a few meters away from the wooden puppet, but then I was suddenly in front of the wooden puppet.
But before swinging down at the wooden puppet, I suddenly said, "Stronger."
After that, I swung down at the wooden puppet with all my might.
For the spectators, most of them couldn't see what happened clearly. Even for me, I could barely keep up to the speed of my own swing.
When the sword made contact with the wooden puppet, there was no resistance at all.
The sword cut right through the wooden puppet and split it right in half. But there wasn't a reaction from this wooden puppet at first.
Only after a while did this top half of the wooden puppet slip off the bottom half and drop to the ground.
There was a 'thud' that came from the top half of the wooden puppet falling to the ground before silence followed after it.
Not a single person was able to say a word as they stared at the wooden puppet halves that were in the arena.
That was because while I didn't know how strong these wooden puppets were, that didn't mean that they didn't know. They were from the guild that had built this training building, so they knew exactly what these wooden puppets were.
These wooden puppets were strong enough to even resist the power of a rocket launcher…yet a single slash was enough to cut it in half like this.
Didn't that mean that this person's slash was even stronger than a rocket?
This person was clearly F Ranked, but this kind of power was definitely C Ranked.
Could it be that the Awakener Association had made a mistake in this person's awakening?
Could it be that they had assigned him the wrong rank?
That was the only thing that they could think of as they stared at Lin Fan who was standing in the center of the arena.
But Bing Lan had a different look in her eyes.
She narrowed her eyes as they filled with interest while she stared at Lin Fan.
It was as if she had noticed something interesting about him.
Then she suddenly said, "So you used your ability to remove the limits of your body?"
I was surprised when I heard this, but I turned back to give a nod.
Seeing this, Bing Lan broke out in laughter as she said, "That really is a creative way to use your power, it definitely isn't something that has been done before." Then after a pause, she stopped laughing as she looked at him with a serious look and said, "But that wasn't your full power, was it?"
When they heard this, all of the others around her couldn't help looking at her in shock.
This F Ranker was displaying power equal to a C Ranker and she was saying that wasn't his full power?
When I heard this, I couldn't help revealing a wry smile before nodding again. Then before she could ask why I didn't use my full power, I raised my hands and let the sword drop before saying, "I'm limited by the condition of my body."
After letting go of the sword, my hands started to tremble.
Seeing this, Bing Lan gave an understanding nod.
Since his power was releasing his limits, that meant that he was hurting himself to use this power. After all, there was a reason why his body would put these limits on in the first place.
He was using power that his body couldn't control, so it would hurt his body whenever he used it.
To the side, the Ice Princess suddenly revealed an understanding look.
That was what he had meant by he couldn't use this power for long.
But when she thought about it, she couldn't help feeling that he had been faster when he had rescued her from the C Rank leader.
No, she answered her own question.
It was because he had been injured saving her that he wasn't as fast as he had been in the break zone.
At this, she couldn't help feeling a warm feeling fill her heart.
After a bit of silence, Bing Lan said, "You have this kind of power and you're willing to take this risk to show it, that shows that you have ambition. Someone with this kind of ambition wouldn't work with those two bit chumps on a plot like this, so you can't be with them."
When I heard this, I let out a sigh of relief…but that was a bit too hasty.
Bing Lan suddenly gave a clap and said with a smile, "Very good! I want you!"
