"Commander!" an officer took a step forward wanting to stop the action of Tou Gou.
This officer is the captain where Tou Gou's squad belongs. But before he could take a step forward, someone stopped him.
"Let's watch a bit more. That child looks confident, we can intervene when things go really awry." said a calm voice which stopped the captain of Tou Gou's squad from doing anything.
At this time, Tou Gou has already reached Xin Ja and has struck his palm towards his head. He wanted to crush Xin Ja's head in one strike which would be fatal and no one could question him anymore. The brat dares challenge his power and authority… if he did not show his strength then he and his squad would become a laughing stock.
The only way to erase this shame is to kill the source.
Swoosh!!!
His palm broke through the air as it created a strong force pouncing towards Xin Ja. He is still locked down by the strong aura of Tou Gou and is unable to move.
When Xin Ja was able to break the lock of Tou Gou's aura was because the latter looks down on Xin Ja.
But now is different, he dare not look down on the brat and would show him that he has messed with the wrong people.
Of course, in Tou Gou's mind, everything is Xin Ja's fault for not accepting his offer, and this leads to his shame.
When Tou Gou took action… his two subordinates immediately step aside to let him vent his anger. How could they not let their squad leader do what he wanted? They too wanted to beat that bastard up, so since their leader is already taking action, they would let him.
Xin Ja was feeling a bit anxious now as he is unable to move. Using his palm, he took out not his Ki buster but a bone rune.
When the bone rune appears, he quickly put his Ki in it.
Wheng!!!
A barrier appears around Xin Ja's body, but it was a bit too late as Tou Gou is already about to hit him.
Wham!!!
A loud explosion reverberates through the air. Following the explosion are two figures being flung back in a couple of meters.
Xin Ja being on the weaker side crashed on the wall of the mess hall, while Tou Gou regained his balance after a few steps. A trickle of blood seeps out of his mouth as he feels the backlash of his own attack rebounding to his body.
He did not expect that the small youth would be fast enough to even activate a defensive rune used in the War Games.
These types of runes are seldom used in real wars as they can only defend and deflect basic attacks. In battles, once skills and techniques are used, the rune barrier used in war games would not be effective anymore.
But who would have known that he himself would fall to such a trick and suffer the rebound of his own attack?
But in contrary to Tou Gou, Xin Ja is lying on the broken wall with traces of blood all over his body. His medic uniform is now in tatters.
A slight smirk appears on Tou Gou's face as he knew that the kid is done for.
As he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed the person lying on the ground with blood all over him slowly lifted his frail-looking body and stands up.
Although he looks weak, his eyes seem to emit strong killing intent and ferocity.
"What an arrogant bastard!…" Tou Gou said as he suddenly covers his body with his strong Ki.
He suddenly accelerated to attack Xin Ja who is barely standing on the spot. Then in the middle of his charge, he suddenly unsheathes a knife from behind his back. The knife does not look ordinary with its blackish gleam.
This time, Xin Ja activates a mental barrier rune and then takes out a pill and swallowed it. His body is in a bad shape after that explosive attack from a 6th level Ki fighter. He knew that if this guy attacks once again but this time with a stronger weapon, then he could not rely on the barrier anymore.
After eating the pill, he feels his body warming up.
Then suddenly he saw that guy charging towards him. Xin Ja did not hesitate anymore and take out his Ki buster from his space. He positioned himself in a way that he is able to cover the Ki buster with his sleeve and body.
He was in a casual side stance when Tou Gou has already reached him by 1 meter.
"Die!" Tou Gou shouted.

Bang!!!
A loud echo thundered through the mess hall startling everyone even those outside. It was too loud that everyone quickly stood up and looks around the mess hall. Then they saw the figure of Tou Gou extending a dark dagger but he is unable to reach the neck of his opponent.
His body froze as his gaze is filled with disbelief.
For a few seconds, he froze and did not move until blood began gushing out of his mouth.
Those standing behind him have their eyes wide open with some of them dyed in blood. They did not know what happened, but all they heard was a thunderous sound and blood suddenly began to spurt out on their faces.
The echo still lingers inside the mess hall but everyone is silent. Then they saw Tou Gou falling to the ground and breathing his last.
The atmosphere is heavy and everyone did not react immediately. Their ears, eyes, and heart are all in disbelief upon seeing such a scene where a 1st level Ki fighter is able to kill a 6th level one.
Xin Ja staggered backward as he tried to support himself while holding on to the chair on the side. He then looks at the two remaining people in front of him.
Seeing them frozen in fear, he slowly staggered out of the mess hall with his blood trailing on the ground.
"Stop right there!" shouted an officer.
But Xin Ja did not hear his word and continued staggering out of the mess hall. Nobody dares block his path as they all saw that strange technique he used to kill a 6th level Ki fighter. They are not that stupid to sacrifice themselves on a 'what if' idea that the skill could only work once.
"I command you to stop…" the officer shouted.
But Xin Ja did not bother listening to him. He could barely stand as he staggered while walking trying to reach the mess hall door.
The officer wanted to make a move but someone stopped him.
"Let him go…" the commander said with his eyes glued on Xin Ja even after he walks out of the mess hall.
Then his eyes landed on the death squad leader and the black dagger on the ground.
He shook his head as he knew that it was their fault that everything ended up this way. If only they have stopped the commotion ahead of time, then that soldier would not have died.
"Call the medical masters to treat that little guy's injury. Then send him to me…" the commander said.
"But sir… he killed an officer." The captain of Tou Gou's squad said as he steps forward.
Although Tou Gou causes trouble every day, he could not deny that he is one of his finest squad leaders. He is strong and brave on the battlefield killing many enemies. This in turn made his attitude bad. But that did not merit him to die such a useless death.
Now every one of them is curious as to how a mere 1st level Ki fighter was able to blow a hole on a 6th level Ki fighter… and that is the most interesting thing that baffled them all.
…
Xin Ja return to his tent and on his way, he quickly took another pill. He did not have any broken bones, luckily, but his internal organs are wounded.
The pill is able to preserve his vitality, but he needed to close those wounds in his internal organs to stop him from bleeding to death.
As he enters his tent, he quickly uses needles to poke on his body and guide them to the wounded parts of his internal organs. He then uses his Ki to seal them up. Once the two fleshes are connected, they quickly heal because of the pills he has taken.
He did this several times until all of his internal organs are finally healed. He did not know is that there are two old men standing by his tent door while looking at what he is doing with curiosity.
After they saw the breathing of Xin Ja becoming calmer, they also heaves a deep sigh of relief. They did not know what happened and they were just called to help with the youth's wounds. But it seems that he did not need any help anymore, so they turn around and left.
At this time, they saw a couple of guards walking toward the direction of Xin Ja's tent.
The one leading the group asked.
"Is that bastard already fine?" the man said with an annoyed expression.
The two medical masters look at each other and just nodded their heads.
"Good! Go and capture that bastard!" shouted the officer.
