I Can See Through a Hundred Million Flaws at a Glance - Chapter 24

Chapter 24: I Want a Duel With Him

“Im— Impossible!”

The great elder, who originally thought that everything was under his control, simply couldn’t believe what was happening before his eyes.

The third elder and the others cried out. Wasn’t this a little too terrifying?

This was the Dark Dou Qi!

It was considered a special type of Dou Qi. They had originally hoped that Bordeaux would be able to grow quickly after entering the Royal Academy and bring glory to the family together with Dreyer.

But now, he had been killed by Shu Ke — a fellow who had only trained for a month?!

“I want you to die!”

Just as everyone was puzzled, a sudden explosive thunder-like roar was heard.

“Oh no!”

The great elder’s expression immediately changed. A robust man with a beard and hair that was as wild as a lion charged straight towards Shu Ke.

“Lion King Fist!”

Immediately, a lion’s roar was heard in the skies. The roar could be heard from almost the entire Vincent family grounds.

A pale golden lion phantom roared and charged towards Shu Ke.

“Fourth elder, don’t be rash!”

The great elder hurriedly stretched out his hand and shouted. It seemed like he wanted to stop the fourth elder who was agitated because of the death of his grandson, but he did not really stop him.

Clearly, he was actually happy to see Shu Ke get killed by the fourth elder who was in a rage. At least he would have one less trouble.

“Is this the terror of a Dou Spirit?”

Shu Ke raised his head and looked at the lion phantom that was rushing to him. His expression was calm as if nothing was happening.

He could feel how terrifying the fourth elder’s punch was. If there was a city wall in front of him, it would be directly blasted into nothing.

But Shu Ke wasn’t worried at all because he knew that he wouldn’t die.

Even if there were ten fourth elders today, they wouldn’t be able to kill him.

“Lightning Strike!”

Although the Vincent family didn’t care, the others did.

Rhode wouldn’t let them kill Shu Ke because it would hurt the reputation of the Royal Academy.

Suddenly, thunderbolts appeared in the sky gathered on Rhode’s giant sword. Then, he vigorously set it down.

In an instant, thunderbolts appeared again and again. Everyone saw a white light constantly flashing, which made their eyes hurt.

When the lightning dispersed, Shu Ke stood in place without moving at all.

He looked at the furious fourth elder calmly. “In a battle, swords and knives are extremely dangerous. No matter who dies, this is fate. There’s no need to be angry, fourth elder.”

“You…”

The lion-like fourth elder was even more furious when he heard this. He wanted to continue attacking but was stopped by the great elder.

“Fourth elder, don’t mess around!”

The Dou Spirit was not able to kill Shu Ke with one move. No matter what the reason was, it was a shameful matter.

If he continued to attack, the reputation of the Vincent family would be badly affected.

A family valued their reputation the most. Therefore, the great elder would never allow such a shameful thing to happen.

“Great elder, I —”

The fourth elder wanted to say something, but Rhode spoke first, “On the battlefield, the enemy will not show mercy to anyone just because he is a prodigy, or whoseever son or grandson.”

“If you want to enter the Royal Academy, you must be prepared to die. Fourth elder, you were a graduate of the Royal Academy, so it’s impossible for you to not understand this!”

The fourth elder looked up at Rhode with a trace of worry in his eyes.

Tonnerre: Rhode.

Lightning-type Dou Spirit, powerful, once single-handedly killed Dou Spirit commander and deputy commander of the Empire’s Army and was bestowed the marquis title.

With him protecting Shu Ke, the fourth elder really didn’t have much of a chance to kill that b*stard.

Moreover, a few of the instructors from the Royal Academy seemed to have opinions about him so he had already lost the best chance to take revenge.

“I’m sorry I lost my composure just now. It’s just that Bordeaux is my grandson that I nurtured since he was young.”

Even though he hated Shu Ke to the bone, the fourth elder could only endure it for now.

“The assessment continues!”

Rhode looked at the members of the Vincent family with a hint of disgust in his eyes, but he didn’t say a word about it. Instead, he started the scoring segment.

“10 points!”

“9.7 points.”

“9.6 points.”

..

Other than Rhode who gave a full score due to his subjective intentions, the rest gave a high score above 9 points. In the end, Shu Ke’s overall score was 9.8 points, which was the highest score at that moment.

In this regard, the elders of the Vincent family felt like they had swallowed a bug – disturbed but helpless.

They weren’t blind to know that Bordeaux’s fall wasn’t a coincidence. Instead, it was Shu Ke’s footsteps that took over Bordeaux’s foothold and tripped him over.

Originally, as a Dou Master, such a small trick wouldn’t cause him to fall.

However, the problem was that Bordeaux had placed too much emphasis on training his upper body strength, causing the unstable center of gravity in his lower body. Moreover, he faced an opponent who was good at finding out the flaws in others. Hence, he was killed in one strike.

Shu Ke’s performance was outstanding. The instructors have him high marks and nobody could discredit him, so they silently accepted it.

Soon, every section of the assessment ended.

“There are a total of 13 people who have scored more than 9 points and have the opportunity to join the Royal Academy.”

Rhode looked around. Most of these people had just scored around 9 points. Actually, there were quite a few people who could score 9 points.

However, due to the actions of the Vincent family, the instructors of the Royal Academy were stricter in the scoring.

This time, the Vincent family’s wish to suppress the other families fell through. Instead, they were the ones who were suppressed.

This result was unacceptable to the Vincent family. For a moment, everyone’s faces in the Elder Council were ashen.

“The assessment ends here. To those who are willing to go to the Royal Academy, do prepare yourselves. I will bring all of you to the academy tomorrow morning…”

“Wait!”

Just as Rhode was speaking, someone stood up and interrupted him.

“Instructor Rhode, Bordeaux, and I have always been good brothers. But now, he has been killed. I hope I can do something for him.”

Dreyer looked at Rhode with determination as if everything he said was true.

But everyone knew in their hearts whether it was true or not.

How would there be so many brother-like relationships between the aristocrats?

Not to mention a fellow who had just severely injured his own family member.

“What are you thinking about?”

Rhode looked at Dreyer with displeasure and asked with a stiff tone.

“I want a duel with him!”
