Chapter 1220: Rotating Shovel!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
As soon as the Hercules’ magical shovel appeared, the entire Ares College heated up. The Rotating Shovel had been hailed as the most powerful melee attack in the past decade. No one could emulate it. This was Wang Zheng’s exclusive attack, combining both offensive and defensive moves. It had also been the most effective move in restraining the ferocious Arbiter-style of attacks.
Wang Zheng might not have known it himself, from IG to the Greatest King, in the hearts of countless military students, this had been hailed as the best combination technique of strength and supple. If ever a young person was seen spinning a shovel tirelessly, he or she would not be considered mad.
In the battlefield, the Hercules and the Fighting Spirit suddenly became motionless. Both were regulating their breath. Their practices were also stabilising their bodies and breath. Their spiritual powers had also stabilized from the earlier fluctuations. At their level, especially when both parties had retained sufficient power, the likes of sudden attacks would be child’s play. The battle between them would be over when one of them uncovered the opponent’s weakness for a breakthrough.
Wang Zheng’s Rotating Shovel had been reviewed by military experts from various countries. It had been considered to be a technique that was invincible once it had been fully mastered. It had fully grasped the use of internal and external spinning forces. This battling method was truly whimsical. However, once fully mastered, it could indeed dominate the world..
Similarly, there were many geniuses in the Milky Way Alliance, especially in these past couple of years. The various military schools had felt that Wang Zheng had used his Rotating Shovel more than once. At each critical moment, the move had helped him pull through those challenges. It had halted those who could have reached the peak and sent them packing home empty-handed, and some never even recovered from their defeats.
Truthfully, as soon as the shovel appeared, those who had experienced it previously felt a little suffocated. The short Hercules seemed to have suddenly increased in height and build. It seemed to be emitting a completely different aura. Combined with the power of the five elements, what kind of combat power could it exude?
In contrast with the wild confidence of Ares College, the students from Arbiter’s Battle Soul Academy were silent for the first time because of the pressure. This was because they could no longer endure defeats. Time and time again this shovel had not only crushed the honour of the Iron and Steel College, but the pride of the Arbiters as well
The tragic defeats of Mars and the rest were not blamed on the members of the Dynasty battle team, but solely on Wang Zheng. Wang Zheng had totally defeated the fighting spirits of the Van Gogh brothers, who had been considered the strong ones. He had defeated that spiritual force!
Now he was facing Aragorn, the hope of Arbiter. It was the Rotating Shovel again. If Aragorn were to be defeated by it as well, Arbiter might not be able to lift its head high up for a very long time.
One defeat was accidental. To be continuously crushed by the same man, how would this make the number one military power of the Milky Way Alliance feel?
The strengths of the two parties were increasing non-stop. But were controlled within a limited range. This was the power technique of refining.
When their strength reached a certain level, it would gather its own power and not waste it unnecessarily. Two tyrannical powers continuously gathered between the two of them, constantly compressing. What kind of force would the power of the five elements be unleashing?
It was dead silence in the big arena. Regardless of the place and school, the commentators had gone silent too. Would a single move be sufficient to decide victory?
In the contestants’ seats, all the members of the Soulless battle team and the Saruman Snake battle team looked solemn. From the earlier battle, it was obvious that the two of them were very much evenly matched. Aragorn, Lin Feng, and Dina Atlas were very different. All three of them had very different styles and patterns. Unfortunately, both Aragorn and Wang Zheng happened to have similar styles and patterns. When such similar warriors collided, there was no room for maneuvering, or even such a thing as counteracting rhythm.
Furthermore, to determine the outcome of such a battle would be very tragic.
Having reached this far in the battle, there was no retreating for either of them. Whoever retreated would be forced to the cliff.
Did Aragorn have absolute confidence in victory?
No. At this stage, no one had absolute confidence in winning. However, Aragorn was very certain that Wang Zheng was a mountain that he had to overcome. Once he did, he would be the hero of Arbiter. This was the greatest honour of an Arbiter warrior.
His laser sword was shining brightly. His energy was stimulated by the power of the five elements. Light beams began to inflate, and then continuously shrank.
The Hercules’ shovel was also making a buzzing sound from the stimulation of some unknown power. Wang Zheng knew that the materials used for this version of the Hercules had been enhanced. It was almost like a custom design. Ye Zisu had customised it for him. The normal titanium would not be to withstand the erosion of such powers.
In an instant, Wang Zheng and Aragorn’s gazes seemed to have penetrated through space and saw each other. They both knew that this was the crucial moment. They could hide from others, but not themselves – this was war.
Bang….
The Fighting Spirit made a move. With a loud blast, the Fighting Spirit charged forward. In the next second, the place where he had been standing collapsed. Suddenly, the Fighting Spirit reached the air above the Hercules.
At the very moment that the Fighting Spirit was making its move, the Hercules’ shovel started to spin too. When the Fighting Spirit neared, the shovel was already spinning at high speed.
The golden lights of the laser sword of the Fighting Spirit were shining brightly. Kill!
A thunderous roar sounded in mid-air. Aragorn’s laser sword struck down directly.
Boom, boom, boom…
The laser sword frantically slashed towards the Hercules’ shovel. Everyone was stunned. Everyone thought that Aragorn had found a breakthrough. But no one expected him to go for a head-on attack.
Once the Rotating Shovel began to absorb power, when the time came, the internal spinning would change to external spinning with the superimposed force. It would blow up the opponent instantaneously.
A direct head-on attack should not be attempted!
However, all the masters present were very calm. They knew the rationale. It was impossible to avoid the power of the Rotating Shovel while fraying to find a breakthrough. Aside from the magical steps that made it impossible for his opponent to hide, the crux of the matter was that Wang Zheng was a very fierce warrior. As soon as there was any sign of hesitation, the death of the opponent would be inevitable.
The only way to take on the Rotating Shovel was to be tough till the very end!
Olivios understood this, and so did Mars. This was why they did not think any deeper. But ultimately, Wang Zheng had proven to be more skilful than them.
The so-called Rotating Shovel was undoubtedly a type of Seven Injuries Fist. The internal spinning would absorb and store up the powers. But there was a limit. While absorbing the powers, Wang Zheng’s body and spiritual power would need to withstand a great deal of burden. If anyone could exert enough force before the internal spinning changed to external spinning, then… Wang Zheng would collapse. All the power would be applied on the Hercules and Wang Zheng physically. The mech would be crushed, and the collapse of the physical body would just be a matter of time.
Thus, the Rotating Shovel was a scale, separating two warriors on each end. This was the least skilful thing. It was dependent on how diligently one had been practising on a daily basis. Likewise, it was dependent on the tenacity of your physical body, the steadfastness of your spiritual power, and the strength of your will-power.
Bang, bang, bang, bang… Bang, bang, bang, bang… Bang, bang, bang, bang… Bubble bubble…
The laser sword struck relentlessly. The Rotating Shovel met the strikes frantically. Yet, strangely, there was no power leakage despite the powerful collision of these two people. After a few seconds, an even stranger scene unfolded – the sounds of the collision were getting even softer.
