Chapter 61: Zero’s true strength?

In a large room with clean white walls, well-tiled ground, and very expensive furniture, some government officials and school staff were seated around the round table in the room, watching the ongoing battle between Zero and Shi Jia from the cameras scattered all over the school. Just like Dan predicted, the school was aware of the current situation but they chose to let the fight go on.

They were eager to see what the two possible disaster realm guardians of this generation are capable of. For that reason, they had the school guardians and teachers stand by until they are sure one of them is at death's doors.

Bang!

"He literarily used his spirit energy to push his bones back to place! Such control over his spirit energy, this is beyond the level of his peers!" A man in a black tuxedo knocked over the glass of water while he spoke.

"This… How long have you known he was this strong, miss lane… He's a member of your class… You should be able to tell the capabilities of the students under your care!" A fat bald man the shape of a ball said while stuffing another chicken lap into his mouth, ignoring the sauce that spilled all over his cloth.

"I didn't know… the heirs of the Oscuro group barely attend classes…. They choose to focus on their life as a scavenger and they sometimes go into secluded cultivation… we really know little about them" Miss Lane said and the other school staff also nodded in agreement.

When they gazed at the fat man shoving down more meat into his mouth while pondering on their words, they all felt disgusted but none dared to show it. By the way, the man's ability was related to his feeding habit and with this power, this man has reached the peak of the A ratings as a guardian. Even Miss Lane had to treat him with respect.

"Fine… But one more thing… the vision you saw, about these two battling each other to the death…. Is it this?" The fat man pointed the screen and Miss Lane shook her head in reply.

"Negative… I sincerely doubt this is where it happens..." Miss Lane responded.

'THE STRONGEST OSCURO HEIR'

That was the only words running through everyone's head as they watched the battle rage on. Based on the surprised expression on Kira, Akila, and Dan's face, everyone concluded these three didn't expect the weak body Zero to become so powerful that he's capable of competing with a future disaster realm expert.

The fight was been live-streamed and unknown to Zero he was making more fans and enemies by the second. This fight was more than their expectations now, initially they were only fighting to resolve their personal issues but now that the world was watching, their pride was on the line and none was willing to back then.

"Just how much have you been hiding from us, Zero" Dan said with furrowed eyebrows.

.........................................................…..

"Kill me? With this? You must have gone crazy after you hit your head so hard!" Shi Jia growled clasping his hands again before striking the ground beneath him with his bare fist.

This action was confusing to most people but those with high sensory ability were able to feel Shi Jia's oppressive aura shift from his body and travel towards Zero,

"Aura materialization!" Dan gasped.

While only a select few could sense it, Zero could see it clearly. He watched Shi Jia's aura take his shape mimicking his action and then a massive aura fist fell from the skies, crashing down at his location.

The attack was so fast that Zero would have been crushed instantly in normal circumstances but thanks to his ability to fly, his mobility was greatly boosted, allowing him to escape the attack almost effortlessly.

"Here is a gift from me to you!" Zero roared as he slapped the empty air in front of him.

The next minute, a hand-shaped purple spirit energy construct appeared, smashing into Shi Jia into the statue directly beside him. Before anyone could react to this, Zero proceeded to launch another punch, creating another purple fist which proceeded to smash into Shi Jia.

Bang!

Bang!

After the third punch, Zero felt a piercing pain reach his head and he was forced to fall to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. The light in his glowing purple eyes considerable but even than the joy in his face, watching blood flow out of Shi Jia's body was enough to make those watching feel terrified. These kids were barely up to fifteen, yet they are already so bloodthirsty.

"It's surprising you were able to mimic the aura materialization and create such massive constructs with your spirit energy but don't you think you are pushing yourself too far? Creating massive constructs like that consume a lot of spirit energy…. But aura on the other hand is limitless…" Shi Jia's voice startled Zero and when he looked at his foe carefully, he realized that Shi Jia had summoned two aura hands and placed it above himself to defend the attacks.

[What he says is true and yes aura is limitless but the aura materialization consumes lots of stamina and constitution…a normal person would find it hard to use the technique five times in a day…. Just like you, he's nearing his limit… if you can outlast him, you can win!] The dusk demon's voice echoed in Zero's head, snapping him out of his train of thoughts only to notice Shi Jia's aura taking a humanoid form again.

Clasp!

Shi Jia at this moment was too weak to stand so he did the best he could while staying down. Clasping his hands together, Shi Jia created two aura hands double the size of an adult by Zero's sides, trying to squash him like a bug. In response, Zero carelessly swung his hands up, erecting two purple spirit energy walls by his sides, before curling his hand into a fist and punching the ground.

Bang!

Unlike Zero who could manipulate his spirit energy with just a thought, Shi Jia needed physical movements to control his aura so he was powerless against the spirit energy fist which formed above him since he was still in control of the aura hands trying to crush Zero.

The attack struck and the aura hands vanished also. Shi Jia remained stationary on the ground and only then did the academy guards and medical staff rush towards the injured Shi Jia, fearing the youth hand died from that attack.

Zero was left alone, spitting another mouthful of blood, unable to stand anymore. His body had reached its limit and gone beyond it and at this point, he could barely lift a finger. It was obvious to the world he had won the fight but to Zero, he didn't fulfill his true aim.

To Kill Shi Jia…

He was focused on protecting himself, coupled with the fact that his body was too weak, so he couldn't aim well with the final blow. If he had his way, he would have aimed for the head and attempted to crush it in one go.

"But you don't always get what you wish for…" Zero muttered as he struggled to get on his feet, only to fall by the side once again but luckily this time, Alfred caught him.

"Young master… You did well today" Alfred said those words loud enough for only Zero to hear.

Gazing at the eyes of his guard, Zero could see the proud smile on Alfred's face which reminded him of the same way his father would look at him whenever his control over his spirit energy increased.

It was the smile of a proud parent….

"Thank you…" Zero muttered before his body forcefully shut down.
