"You are in the face of death and you still dare to run your mouth? Should I call you ignorant or just plain stupid?" One of the seven people sneered maliciously. 

From the robes they wore, they were from the exact same academy as David which was why he hadn't done anything yet and chose to listen but then, David could feel the hostile intention from them and figured they weren't here for just a chat. 

"Who are you guys?" David ignore the young man who had spoken and turned towards the fat young man standing at the forefront as he thought. He didn't think he had offended anyone yet at the academy but he wasn't surprised trouble came looking for him. 

"You don't need to know who we are, drop your storage ring and I might let you leave. Oh, since your mouth isn't stable, cut off your tongue while at it." The fat man said indifferently. 

His arrogance soared through the skies, treating David as though he was a lowly slave. 

David's expression hardened instantly. He didn't think this people would be so unreasonable. Since they were students of the same academy, David had thought to give them a chance but then, their leader dared to utter those words. 

His face turned cold as he responded "I will do you one better, cut off your tongue, and break both your arms, then I will let this go." His tone gave no room for consideration and exuded confidence and coldness that seem to make the morning wind even more colder. 

The group of seven were stunned when David's said those words and their spine tingled in fear. But when they came to, the fact that they had been scared by just simple sentence made them rage in anger. 

"Impudent! You are just a tiny top 900 student and you dared to speak to us with disrespect!?" One of the seven angrily shouted 

"I gave you a way out, but you instead chose to court Death. When you die, give my regards to my enemies." The fat man sneered coldly. 

"Senior brother Feng, let me deal with this brat and show him the way to hell." one of the fat man's lackey suggested. 

The fatty shook his head and continued. "Don't intefare with the battle, I will personally deal with him."

"You should have just done as I said, otherwise you wouldn't have suffered like this." The fatty said as he walked forward towards David as though he had already won and beaten the hell out of David. 

His flying sword flew out from his sleeves, using sword kinesis, his hands joined together and he immediately attacked with a flash. 

The blade seem to turn into an huge ice blade shard as it whistled through the air with intense speed, trying to bore a hole through David's chest. 

But David had been prepared for it. His face solemn and his hands seals changed, calling his sword out from his sleeves. 

Although this brother fang was only a perfect mortal stage practitioner, he wasn't any weaker than the earth stage bandit he had killed back at the forest. 

The attack he had just executed was so powerful and fast and although It was a high-tier mortal ranked technique, the fatty seem to have reached the third stage of the technique, making it so powerful a simple move from him was no different from an earth stage casual attack, that's just how powerful someone at the top 200 of the student rankings was.

However, David was no simple individual either, his meteoric strike had been practiced to the Ultimum state he has grasp the essence of the skill. The Ultimum state is the highest state of a particular mental skill where there can no longer be any more upgrade. 

Every mental skills has five states to them. The entry state, sub-completion, completion, perfection and Ultimum. 

The Consequtive Meteorite Pierce has reached the ultimum state in just a few weeks of practice, which showed just how extraordinary David's perception was. 

When a technique reached the ultimum state, the attack power would increase by a while new level, bringing forth horrifying results. 

Therefore, when David's hand seal changed, the surrounding environment seem to change with it. The sky turned red and there seem to be massive splurge of meteors falling down straight from the skies to the ground. 

Although this was the result of brain waves and energy levels mixing with the atmospheric gases, it looked so real that one could almost touch them. 

Before the ice shard could touch David, a single meteor seem to separate from the group of flying meteors as it slammed into the ice shard. 

RUMBLE! 

Shockwaves spread out in all directions but David stood still while the fatty took three steps backwards to ease the straining pain in his head. 

Feng Lang's expression changed darkened as he saw David standing proudly. "No wonder you dared to talk big to me. But if you think you won, you might have to think again."

David scoffed but didn't bother to utter a word. 

Snow began to fall, dropping to the ground bit by bit, as though shy. 

"Let this snow mark your death anniversary and accompany you to the underworld... Snowflake." Feng Lang's expression turned solemn and a massive surge in brain wave overlapped and gathered into the vicinity as though there was a suction force gathering them.

David suddenly had a premonition as he gaze at the snow falling. His expression suddenly changed as a snow flake passed through hi

s skin. 

It was the illusion of an attack all along. His opponent had attacked earlier but David didn't know when his opponent attacked, he had completely missed the gathering of brainwaves in the atmosphere. 

No matter how powerful his perception was, he was still an amateur at this being a Mental practitioner which was why he had completely missed when his opponent had attacked, ignoring the brain wave copulation and focusing on his opponent's hands. 

Butt it seems the fatty's mental skills had reached the highest level, where he could ignore using hand seals and attack by releasing pure brain waves and mental energy to the atmosphere. 

But David's face lit up, but before he could change his hands seals, the snow dropping to the ground gathered together as though pulled together by magnets, forming a large snow flake the size of a meter above his head. The snow flake has sharp edges by its sides, looking sinister and deadly. 

Before David could react, the large sharp snowflake slammed into him with a bang! 

Shockwaves spread out in all directions a meter hole was blasted at the spot where David had previously been standing. 

The four before had no choice but to take a few step backwards as the dust rose up in all directions along with the shockwaves of the impact. 

Feng lang expression was indifferent but his face was pale since he had just exhausted a large amount of mental energy without hands seals as the lead, large amount of energy would be wasted if one attempted to attack without using hand seals. 

"As expected of senior brother Feng, you are unparalleled!"

"We never doubted you for a moment senior brother Feng."

"That guy had it coming, senior brother Fang. Don't feel bad about killing a fellow student." The lackeys praised and comforted him. 

"Hmm, find his body and bring me his storage ring, the Megaton blade is mine at last." Fang Lang squeezed out a smile as the thought of finally owning the blade made him excited. 

The six lackeys nodded their head as they used their techniques to blow the dust away, after the wind blew away the dust, they were instantly struck dumb. 

Feng Lang's pupils constricted as he gaze at the figure standing at the middle of the crater. 

"You almost killed my pet." David's eyes were cold as he held Flint to his chest. 

His footsteps touched the ground as he walked forwards. But the footsteps were like drums, as it echoed through their hearts with heaviness. 

"So it's you they sent to collect the legendary blade uhn?" 

"Enough!" Fang Lang's voice echoed like thunder since it contained mental strength, dispersing the pressure David's footsteps were causing. 

"Hmm?" David's footstep paused and he gazed at Fang Lang with a newly found look. Fang Lang's willpower seems to be higher than an ordinary person's. 

"I don't know how you survived that, but I will make sure to put you in your proper place this time." Feng Lang assumed David had used some sort of protective treasure to escape his attack which was why he wasn't afraid in the least. Although he had exhausted quite a bit of his mental energy, he could make do with what's left. 

. But he wouldn't have expected that David didn't bother using any treasure to block the attack but his used his strong fleshy body instead. 

David shook his head. "I might have let you lived seeing as you have potential.. But then, you almost killed my pet, that I cannot take."
