“Ah!” Many people saw this unpredictable scene and stood up, they showed expressions of disbelief when Blake was repelled and forced to the ground.
“Blake lost!”
“He actually won!”
“His strength is above Blake.”
“To think that Blake lost so thoroughly.”
…
Many students started discussing the scene before them, even Blake showed an expression of similar disbelief, he did not think that he would lose this duel so easily.
Even though many people were unable to accept this fact, because Blake was a popular person who had a decent reputation normally, nobody came here to mock him at this moment.
They only discussed the difference in strength between them.
But such discussions were unbearable when Blake heard them.
The truth was, they already had an idea of the difference in Blake and Ye Feng’s strength when they fought, but to think that Ye Feng was so strong he could defeat Blake in one move.
People who usually initiated such duels had mostly done so out of rashness, the academy allowed the two parties to fight but they could not cause any deaths here, no duels were exempted from this rule.
When Ye Feng fought against him, they had fought under the rules of a duel, otherwise, Blake did not know if he would still be alive now.
He actually lost.
He lost to Ye Feng.
Such thoughts lingered in Blake’s mind.
From the start, Blake did not think that he would lose, because Ye Feng had been on the defensive throughout the fight, Blake did not realize that he had not made the correct judgment throughout the fight.
Now that they stopped fighting, Blake calmed down and regained his senses, he replayed their battle in his mind.
Next, he thought of the fact that Ye Feng only guarded when they fought, in a while, it showed how strong it was, it was truly laughable that Blake did not realize it.
If the previous Blake had no such idea prior to the fight, then now, after this duel, Blake had no choice but to recognize Ye Feng’s strength.
He had no choice but to admit that Ye Feng was superior to him.
Blake was someone who had a smooth journey in life, and had never gone through huge ordeals or difficulties. While this loss was hard to accept, his defeat had already been decided, there was nothing he could do about it.
Blake looked at the students around him, since they were cheering for him earlier, it was clear that they were also unable to accept such a result in actuality, especially when the progression of the situation was so abrupt.
Ye Feng was not a student of the academy, by losing to someone who was not part of the academy, they had caused the reputation of the Knight’s Academy to be lost.
‘No, I cannot allow that to happen,’ Blake thought to himself.
Even though he was clear that he had lost this duel completely, he knew that the entire academy’s reputation was hanging on the line, he could not admit defeat so easily.
“Aren’t you a Blacksmith? Let’s compete in forging.” Blake looked at Ye Feng and said.
Ye Feng looked at Blake and knew that the kid had yet to give up, but he did not expect that instead of admitting defeat, Blake would try to win again in another aspect.
Ye Feng had no time to waste here, the fact that Blake had still not seen reality clearly even at this point was truly making Ye Feng speechless as well.
“Why must I compete with you?” Ye Feng was half smiling as he looked at Blake, even earlier, he had not thought of killing Blake. That was because Blake might be arrogant but he had no other flaws.
But the fact that Blake refused to let him go made Ye Feng feel very troubled.
He was not here to compete with Blake, even though he won this duel.
Ye Feng still remembered his main objective, he wanted the stage five forging materials from the vice-principal.
“Don’t tell me you are afraid of competing?” Blake clearly did not want to let Ye Feng go, at this time, he needed victory to make up for his earlier loss.
Before this, even though Blake had competed with other people in the school and had experienced losses and wins, he had never lost so thoroughly before.
But Ye Feng had no time to spend on this matter anymore: “You want to prove that you are stronger than me?”
Before Blake replied to him, Ye Feng continued to speak: “But why must I spend time proving that I am better than you?”
Blake fell into silence after hearing Ye Feng’s words.
“Admitting that you have lost is not a shameful thing.”
Ye Feng explained kindly, the truth was that Ye Feng had a deep impression of this suitor of Avril, seeing his currently pathetic state, Ye Feng could not help but feel a sense of gratification.
Ye Feng’s patience had been used up after the duel, even though he understood why Blake could not accept this loss and the fact that Ye Feng was superior, it did not mean that Ye Feng was completely fine with his actions.
Ye Feng stopped talking to Blake, he walked past him and left the duel stage, finding a student and asking where the office of the vice-principal was before going in that direction.
Seeing Ye Feng who was leaving, fighting spirit surged in Blake’s eyes slowly.
He had to find a chance to compete with Ye Feng in forging, he needed to prove himself.
Blake still felt a little indignant when he looked in the direction of Ye Feng. Before this, Blake was praised by everyone, he had never thought that it was possible for him to lose.
But with the gaze of so many students, Blake was not shameless enough to chase Ye Feng and ask for a rematch.
Thus, Blake could only keep this thought internally as he swore to himself.
No matter what, he was going to defeat Ye Feng in forging.
