It has to be known that David had only ever used to the seventh star and had never used beyond that despite knowing his body could withstand the pressure, not exploding from sheer power and might, or from the flow of the technique.


    Thest time he had used seventh star, was when he defended himself against the attack of an instructor. Which was directly equivalent to an ordinary elder here at this academy.


    However, this time he skipped the seventh star and the eight star, going directly to the ninth star. One could only imagine how devastating the attack would be since the fifth starbined with the legendary weapon was enough to level half the outskirt of arge forest.


    David''srgerge rusty de tore apart the fabric of space, leaving a red arc shaped line above his head as he struck down towards the iingrge de.


    KABOOM!!!


    The entire building instantly cracked, the three meter de broke apart as though it was made out of porcin disintegrating into pure fragmented metal and brainwaves.


    But David''s attack didn''t stop there. Massive energy waves flew through the air like a meteor, mming into the old man and before anyone could do anything, the old man was sent flying, smashing a hole in the wall as his body flew like a kite with no strings attached, his whereabout was currently unknown.


    Swear dripped down David''s face, hisrge pumped muscles trembling as he held the de stable horizontally before him.


    His face was pale, his muscles deted, the de mmed into the ground with no strength holding it upright.


    One might assumes David was thoroughly exhausted after pulling off such an attack and from the exhaustion in his body and the lose of spirit in his eyes, it was likely he could only pull off such an attack once. Yes, it was infact true that David was really exhausted, but contrary to expectation, David wasn''t exhausted by the fact that had hadunched an attack of that magnitude or the fact that he had used Ninth star.


    No, he was tired because he held back his strength, leading to him straining every single muscles of his. A fired arrow is much easier than one pulled back the moment it was fired. Because it required twice the effort used in the attack.


    And as for his reason for paying back, it was obvious. The moment he had attacked, he had estimated the strength of his attack and immediately knew the old man wouldn''t survive the strike even if he had nine lives. Plus, this ce would instantly be demolished by his attack which will not bid the oue he desired.


    Nor would killing an elder bring out a favourable oue for him. He just needed to show them he had the strength to wield the de should stop bothering him. Plus, he wanted to show the elders that although barely, he had the strength to content against them.


    The remaining seix elders were stunned seeing a fellow elder being smacked away from this ce like a ser ball.


    "Y-you vicious kid!" Someone immediately roared out in anger.


    "Raising your hands against an elder! Is this what your institution has taught you!?" An olddy screamedout loud in a high pitch.


    "Elders! Let''s all take action to eliminate this unfiliar child who knows if he woukd infect other students with his mindset and character!" Another suggested as they all rose up, emitting waves of killing intent as they gazed at David muderously.


    David''s expression instantly turned indifferent and his face rxed but his muscles tense. There was a trace of a smirk on his face as he cracked his neck, his bones popped and his muscles crackled like thunder.


    "It''s been so long I battled using my full strength, seems I wouldn''t have to keep hiding it anymore." David muttered softly as his eyes lit up with a brilliant glow.


    The de he had been having trouble holding suddenly turned as light as a feather in his hands as he lifted it up.


    He had only lifted the de up three inches when resoundingughter echoed, bouvung off the walls.


    "Amazing, simply amazing too amazing! I have never thought I would see such arrogant weapon been used in such a brutish manner. Haha, I''m sure the weapon spirit would be in tears by now. Hahaha!" The Deanughed and tears rolled down his face as he held his stomach inughter.


    David stared nkly at the middle aged man, obviously didn''t know what was going on, the situation has gone somewhat weird.


    The elders had no choice but to immediately stand down. Their oppressive brainwave withdrew and they swiftly sat back down on their seats, smiles could be seen on their faces in response to the Dean''sughter. Showing how shameless they all were.


    A few secunds ago, they had been nning on striking David together, but seeing as the Dean erupted inughter, they quickly switched up their attitude and had wide smiles on their faces.


    David was in a daze. He was througly asronished that this group of people could change their attitude so quickly! One tien they were emitting killing intent, and the next, they were smiling at him. How can anyone be so shameless.


    Could be the reason why they had been chosen as elder''s anyways. Davud shook his head and took back the de to his storage ring while rxing his tense muscles. The hint of gold on his face gradually dissappeared.


    Wiping away his tears, the middle aged Dean spoke up. "You know, when I first found the Megaton weapon and forcefully interrupted its slumber so it could take me as it''s master, I was so rudely rejected I was embarrassed."


    "Do you know what it told me? It said my talent was too shallow and even if I ws sthest person in this god-damned, it wouldn''t think of picking me or anyone here. Saying I don''t even have the strength to forcefully pick it up. But seeing the way you swung this legendary weapon around as though it was an ordinary de just made its whole speech a joke to me."


    "I really do wonder the thoughts going on through the weapon spirit''s head right now. It would surely want tomit suicide right?" The Dean chuckled as he shook his head with a smile.


    David blinked his eyes. He didn''t know the weapon spirit had such arrogance. But then, he didn''t care at all. His strength lies in the physical aspect and he needed something extremely heavy to match his fighting style, crushing his enemies with overwhelming might.


    And a sfor using the weapon to practice sword kinesis, David had long given up in the de since the de had locked all possible means ofmunication. "I want aware the de was that conceited, I assumed it''s spirit had been weakened and it needed to recuperate."


    "I wish that was the case. But sadly its not. Yet again, I have no regrets since after it rejected me, I found the de that was rightfully mine. Enough of this chit-chat. Since you''ve injured one of our elders, you need to be punished but then again, we''ve wrongfully used you of something you didn''t do, so we can call it even. Do you all agree to that?" The Dean faced David and then nced at the elders with a stern expression on his face.


    The elders all smiled back as they shook their heads and agreed. "We have no objection to your suggestion."


    "Good. David, you can go back now and continue practicing. I''m looking forward to your performance at the Demonic Hunt."


    "Yes Dean. I will take my leave."


    David nodded his head and sighed in relief but there was a tinge of disappointment hidden deep within his eyes. He is hungry for a real fight.


    David exited therge building, he came into contact with Tang pin and the other two people with him.


    "You are still here?" David sounded surprised to see them there.


    "Yea, I was waiting for the oue of your procecution. The proceedings have always been like this and no one has really gotten out of there unpunished. It came as a surprise to me that you aren''t being sent to the water prison, you must have been lucky." Tang Lin muttered as he tried to figure out the situation.


    David nodded his head and responded, "It''s all due to luck. Let''s forget about the matter."


    "Brother Tang, I want to ask you about something, I hope brother Tang can borate on the matter for me." David asked.


    Tang Lin nodded his head and replied. "Aa long as it''s not something thatbwoukd break the academy''sws, I have no problem exining thing to you."


    "Alright then, what do you know about the Demonic Hunt?" David bluntly asked.. He had been hearing thr same word for a while now but then, the Dean personally said he would watch for his performance at the Demonic Hunt, this made him want to inquire more about the matter.
