Chapter 423: Chapter 423 – The Battle (2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“He’s comparable to a First Ring Life Knight, in terms of physical fitness alone…”
In the square, Chen Heng was constantly retreating, his figure rapidly disappeared from his original spot, leaving behind afterimages that looked exceptionally unique.
At this moment, they were rapidly fighting, and fought each other dozens of times, resulting in an extremely intense collision.
From a visual point of view, it was a very spectacular sight. Especially under the effects of the recording equipment, the movements of the two people were slowly decomposed into the smallest movements, displayed before everyone’s eyes.
The people around couldn’t help but exclaim, as that feeling was truly unique.
Looking at these two before them, it wasn’t easy for an ordinary person to even catch up to them, not to mention to fight them.
This was especially so for Rui Te, as his body was so huge and burly, an exceptionally tall, looking like a violent bear.
But even so, his movements were so swift that his agility didn’t match his body at all. It was indeed highly unique.
Yet undoubtedly, the destructive power he could cause due to his tall and sturdy body, coupled with his unbeatable speed, would be terrifying.
It would be useless even if one wore solid armor under such tremendous strength and speed, as one would easily be pierced through and directly shattered.
As the two people were fighting each other, cracks on the ground spread out. At a glance, like a spiderweb spreading outwards, which looked exceptionally frightening.
Chen Heng was in the middle of it and had a basic grasp of the opponent’s strength.
In terms of physical fitness, the opponent in front of him was already comparable to a First Ring Life Knight and wouldn’t be any weaker even if he were compared to a Second Ring knight.
According to the saying of this world, this was almost equivalent to the level of a second rank martial artist.
Of course, his physical fitness was the only thing that could be compared to a Life Knight.
Despite being on the same level, if they fought, there was no doubt that a Life Knight would win.
In reality, the Life Knight’s body still had some powerful life energy that could be used on his body or on top of his weapons and armor at any time.
Those higher-ranked Life Knights could further control their life energy and turn it into weapons and armor.
Without a doubt, these were all advantages that the martial artists of this world could not compare to.
Even if two people had similar physical fitness, their gap would be rapidly widened under the effect of life energy.
The Life Knight of the world of Gods could easily defeat the martial artist on the same level in this world.
Of course, in reality, things were not certain.
Life energy was a unique, powerful force for the Life Knights.
However, the martial artists of this world also have the support of the Mechas. If they were equipped with Mechas, the strength of the martial artists of this world would far surpass that of the Life Knight.
Chen Heng’s expression was calm as all sorts of thoughts flashed through his mind.
Wind of the swift and fierce fist whistled, and a huge force came right at his face.
When the afterimages disappeared, suddenly a fist appeared and directly struck Chen Heng’s face.
The power of this punch was incomparably strong, and once it hit, Chen Heng would probably fall to the ground immediately, and it would be quite a while before he could recover.
However, Chen Heng looked very calm. His body slightly turned to the side, and he dodged the punch just like that. Then, his body slightly bent and fiercely rushed forward, directly running over from at a strange angle. A fist struck on Rui Te’s chest, forcing him to retreat.
Roar!
Rui Te endured Chen Heng’s punch, as a powerful force was released from Chen Heng’s fist. Rui Te roared and rushed toward Chen Heng crazily like a mad beast.
“Go to hell!”
He punched hard, and each punch seemed to kill Chen Heng, looking particularly terrifying.
However, no matter how hard he tried and how fast he advanced, his fist could not hit Chen Heng’s body. Instead, he was hit by Chen Heng countless times because he acted rashly.
Fortunately, his body was strong enough to take beatings. Otherwise, he would have fallen by now.
“It’s the same again…”
In the corner of the arena, a tall young man looked at the situation and could not help but frown. “It’s the same every time. It was a sure-fire attack, yet it would be dodged in the end. Why is it so?”
His face was filled with doubt, not understanding why this was the case.
In reality, Rui Te walked all his way until now and even made a name for himself in the vicinity of the academy. He was not a simple boor.
Perhaps in other aspects, the other party still had some flaws, and his personality was a little too brutal, causing people to fear him.
However, the other party was powerful in battle, and his battle instinct was terrifying.
Even if he were faced with someone stronger than him, meeting his terrifying battle, they would feel very constrained and unable to take him down in a short period.
However, when this kind of person faced a person whose strength was far lower than his, he would always make low-level mistakes in the end. From the side, they could see it clearly.
Rui Te had accurately grasped Chen Heng’s weakness before launching an attack most of the time.
However, Chen Heng seemed to have predicted Rui Te’s actions in advance and directly dodged them every time.
This feeling made people feel strange and didn’t know what to say, and even the other spectators felt something was wrong, not to mention Rui Te.
“This newcomer has such keen battle instinct…”
The young man named Qi Lin stood in a corner and looked forward with a solemn expression. At this moment, he didn’t know what to say.
He didn’t expect that he could reap such a harvest in the end.
“It’s not just his battle instinct…”
Standing beside Qi Lin, a woman named Yang Ke also spoke. Although her expression was still cold, she revealed a rare look of surprise. “His spirit is also very shocking…”
“His powerful spirit coupled with his terrifying battle instinct led to this situation…”
“Rui Te’s strength and speed were above his, but he was able to suppress him in the end because of this.”
“If this goes on, I’m afraid Rui Te would be exhausted to death by him.”
“Interesting.”
Listening to Yang Ke’s words, Qi Lin smiled, revealing an interesting smile. Then, he said, “Looking at his age, he should be a junior of the new batch.”
“I didn’t expect such a figure to appear in this batch of juniors.”
“Judging from his age and spiritual power, he will have a bright prospect in the future.”
Chen Heng, who was still fighting with Rui Te, looked calm. The other people around couldn’t help but feel a little interested.
It was okay if it was just a simple battle instinct, but the spiritual strength displayed was terrifying.
Spiritual strength was indispensable for a martial artist to walk this path to the end because, in this world, all the powerful martial artists had to refine their Mecha in the end.
The higher the degree of compatibility with the Mecha, the more power they could unleash.
In this aspect, the more powerful a martial artist’s spiritual power was, the more compatible they were with their Mecha, allowing them to unleash even more terrifying power.
When one’s spiritual power was so strong to a certain extent, it could allow the Mecha to unleash even more power.
Therefore, to measure a martial artist’s future, one also needed to see if his spiritual power was strong in addition to his strength, as his strength could guarantee his ability to control the Mecha, and his spiritual power could guarantee his compatibility with the Mecha.
In the eyes of the surrounding people, Chen Heng undoubtedly did not lack in both aspects.
His talent was undoubtedly very powerful to possess such strength at this age, and that portion of spiritual power in him was even more eye-catching.
There were tens of thousands of students in Dragon City Academy, but probably only a few could possess such powerful spiritual power among so many students.
To a certain extent, possessing such powerful spiritual power was already enough to attract people’s attention.
“Awesome!”
Backstage, Liu Rou and the others became even more excited watching Chen Heng’s performance on stage through the observation equipment.
“Not only is his strength comparable to a stage one martial artist, but his spiritual power is also so powerful.”
Her expression looked very excited. At this moment, she felt as if she had dug a treasure.
Yet to the ordinary people around, the outcome of this battle might still be a little uncertain.
However, from their point of view, the outcome of this battle needs no guessing anymore. Rui Te would not be Chen Heng’s match.
After all, Chen Heng’s true identity was a Beastmaster. He had already pushed the other party to this extent before using his spiritual power.
Then, the outcome would probably be more apparent when he used his spiritual power to strengthen himself. Everyone was looking forward to this.
“I just don’t know how far you can go…”
Liu Rou looked at the screen in front of her, and her face was filled with anticipation as she thought excitedly in her heart.
At this moment, a voice came from behind.
“Manager, the situation is starting to change.”
Liu Rou raised her head and saw that the situation had changed drastically on the screen in front of her.
Chen Heng changed from his previous conservative attack and began to rush forward.
He took a step forward, changed his previous defensive stance, stared at Rui Te’s fist, and rushed forward, suppressing Rui Te.
In an instant, the situation changed.
And at this moment, on the field.
“Bastard!”
Rui Te swung his fist, smashing towards Chen Heng’s head. Yet in the end, it was nimbly dodged and directly pressed onto the ground, creating a significant dent.
On the field, Rui Te was ferocious. He looked at Chen Heng in front of him, filled with anger. “Do you only know how to dodge? If you’re a man, then take my punch!”
His face was twisted, and his heart was full of anger.
As the battle progressed, Rui Te started to have a bad premonition.
If this continued, he would very likely lose when his strength was continuously depleted.
Lose…
This result was not unacceptable to Rui Te, though there would come a day when he would be inferior to others.
He could not even beat any higher-grade seniors, not to mention others. However, this did not include Chen Heng in front of him.
Chen Heng was a freshman who had just entered the academy. Theoretically speaking, a freshman could not be compared to the seniors, not to mention him.
If he lost to such a person, his reputation in the academy would be tarnished, and Chen Heng would supersede him and walk to the top. This was something that he could not accept no matter what.
When he realized this, he became exceptionally furious. He roared, trying his best to capture Chen Heng and defeat him.
However, the more he thought about it, the bigger his actions were, and the easier it would be for him to make mistakes. In the end, he was caught several times and hit by Chen Heng.
‘If this situation continues, it would be impossible to avoid a defeat.’
He roared in his heart when he realized that, highly unwilling for it to happen.
Therefore, he began to use words to provoke Chen Heng. He hoped that Chen Heng would not endure it and rush over to fight him directly.
Chen Heng’s body paused, and he looked at Rui Te in front of him.
“Then, as you wish.”
His expression was calm as he looked at Rui Te. This time, he did not dodge but directly rushed over and laid a punch.
Looking at Chen Heng’s actions, Rui Te’s heart was instantly filled with joy.
‘You finally can’t take it anymore.’
He was ecstatic in his heart, and he could not help but reveal a ferocious smile on his face, looking exceptionally terrifying.
He had already understood Chen Heng’s background based on their previous encounter.
Chen Heng’s strength was indeed not bad. If it were not for Rui Te, the other students would not be his match at all. However, that was all.
Although Chen Heng’s strength had already reached the level of a first-rank martial artist, he was still far from being Rui Te’s match.
Just like before, he would be fine if he kept shifting and dodging. However, if he dared to fight head-on with Rui Te and make a move…
Rui Te was confident that he would take him down in a few moves and end this battle.
He would use the most vicious method to torture him at that time.
“Expect it, resent it…”
He looked at Chen Heng as the flesh on his body burst forth, and the strength in his entire body was exploding.
“Go to hell!”
