The alloy sword was swung at a high speed, and a deafening sound exploded outwards. However, right in the first clash, the difference between them could already be observed. Panga’s spear had been deflected away, while Lear’s Storm Swordsman blade had only been diverted slightly. The Storm Swordsman recovered its posture and slashed out horizontally, while Panga used its overbearing shield to press forward.
There was a sneer on Lear’s face. Forget the past, he was a different person in the current match. He was aware of what the Professors wanted to see from him, and was prepared to show off his skills.
Dang…
A simple… soaring slash.
Panga’s self-confidence and pressure on him had drastically reduced.
Luo Fei was still smiling happily, while Zhang Shan was rather perplexed. If it was him in the past, he would have blamed the opponent for being too weak. However, he had now understood that Lear had already calculated the opponent’s predicted motions, and the angle and timing of his attacks were completely above his opponents, not allowing the opponent to display any of his own strength.
Lear’s Storm Swordsman had already slashed out, a basic stab.
Crack…
Overlord continued retreating, while Lear’s Storm Swordsman was considered to be a more mobile type mecha. He closely followed after Overlord and sent slashes one after the other, while Panga’s giant shield was only capable of defending, and was gradually being pushed back.
Dang dang dang…
A continuous explosion rang out. Lear had only used a normal stabbing motion from the start till the end, but the rhythm of each step was not identical. However, they had all landed on the exact same spot. This did not feel like a mecha battle, but was instead more like a fight between swordsmen.
Panga was so angry that he was about to spurt blood. He was unable to exert any strength, and couldn’t even change his tactics. The opponent’s rapid stabs were about to claim his life. However, this was the frightening thing about Arbiter. They were like poisonous snakes, patiently waiting for a chance to strike. It only depended on how long Lear’s opponent could last.
Boom…
Just as Panga calculated, after a critical explosion, he directly pushed against Lear’s Storm Swordsman, and rapidly increased the distance between them.
However, an alert from the mech had shocked Panga, the giant shield had been damaged… Panga was stunned, as the opponent had done that deliberately to give him a chance, or else if the assault continued, his defense would not be able to hold!
A shield on one hand, and spear in the other, Panga’s expression turned serious. On the other end, Lear’s Storm Swordsman was pointing his sword at the ground, not even taking a defensive stance.
Jie Yuanhao was filled with envy. This bastard was still pretending at such a juncture, and he was now absolutely on the side of Panga. He couldn’t wait for Panga’s spear to pierce Lear’s heart, while Black Tortoise’s Huang Grade students broke out in cheers. The Black Tortoise Region’s Academy was in desperate need of a hero, as if they continued losing, there would be no place to hide themselves any longer.
As an Arbiter, Panga was aware of the frightening power of physical reinforcement skills, as there were some ancient families that also possessed the same strength. To deal with such powers, it was necessary to defeat them before they were activated.
Panga did not have any thoughts that he was ??bullying the newcomers. When faced with an opponent, one had to use the best method to defeat them.
Overlord’s engine roared, while at the same time there were cold flashes of light revolving around its body.
This was Panga’s ability X, Instant Death Blade Dance!
Destroying the surrounding space, and turning it into a death zone. Everything that entered the dome would be shredded to pieces.
This was a point that Zhang Shan was the clearest about. Anyone who attempted to charge into the dead zone would just be seeking death. It could be said that this ability was the jinx of all reinforcement skills.
Not only that, this ability was able to integrate both offense and defense. With Overlord’s pressure, the opponent would not be crushed, but instead sliced into pieces!
Overlord had already acted, but Lear was still motionless, was he seeking death?
Panga’s ability X was something that energy shield would not be able to withstand, or else he would not have the qualifications to enter as a Xuan Class 1 expert in White Tiger. This was the invincible Arbiter.
Just as Overlord was about to collide, Storm Swordsman dashed into the air…..
This mech…
The power of the Five Elements, this was what Lear had learnt at Elite Academy, and the Professors who were watching nodded in approval. The Storm Swordsman, due to its unique material composition, was extremely suitable for ability X users, but only Lear would use such a technique.
The eyes of the other spectators widened at the sight, was this guy courting death?
Both mecha exchanged multiple blows in an instant. Boom boom boom…
A series of explosions occurred in midair, shockwaves exploding outwards, and sparks flew…
Boom…
A single mech landed on the ground, still holding on to its longsword, while bits and pieces of junk came raining down…
Lear’s victory!
Except for the few Professors who were present, the others did not expect this to be the result.
A spatial ability X was undoubtedly the most difficult type to crack, especially for something like Panga’s. Unless one’s ability completely suppressed the other, it would not be possible to penetrate…
Watching the slow-motion playback, Panga’s Overlord was indeed like a beast, being surrounded by shrapnel in all directions and sealing off the surroundings, not allowing the target to escape. At the same time, the spear in his hand was able to defend against his opponent’s desperate attacks. Even if he lost the spear, he would still have his giant shield. However, Lear’s choice was a direct offensive, sending his sword towards the sky in an instant and slashing downwards like a missile. It was only then the geniuses had noticed the air currents around Panga, and this was also the reason why Storm Swordsman adopted a swift charge. However, what broke Panga’s ability X?
When the Storm Swordsman rushed into the opponent’s ability X for the kill, there was a strange phenomenon. Panga’s ability X faded like a snow flake, and it was attributed to the shock that he was under, as even the Arbiter people would have met with such a situation before.
Lear’s single strike broke through his opponent’s ability X, and when it came to physical skills, Lear was unparalleled, and thus ending in the destruction of the shields and the pilot.
At that instant, Zhang Shan was quietly counting, he had slashed a total of thirty seven times… that madman!
All along, Zhang Shan thought that Lear was a nobody, but in truth…
Maybe he had head Zhang Shan’s muttering, Luo Fei smiled slightly. “It was thirty nine strikes.”
Zhang Shan was stunned. Although this made no difference to him, the most intimidating thing for him was Lear’s ability. It seemed that no one was clear on his ability X, During IG, he had won against Arbiter, but also without any flair, not at all comparable to Olivios.
This match was definitely a great boost in morale for the Black Tortoise Region, and allowed the Professors to recover some color on their faces. Ignoring the Xuan Grade, it was an even better situation if talents were discovered when they were still in the Huang Grade. While it would be great for Lear to proceed even further, this was indeed sufficient. From their perspective, the only issue that could give Lear trouble was the absolute suppression of ability X, and the four people who were qualified to cause this absolute suppression were not in the fifth section. Therefore, Lear was very likely to get a spot, which would definitely boost the morale of Black Tortoise.
Lear came out with a smile, and proceeded to the audience hall to thank his mentor and classmates.
It seemed that no other player had done such a thing. Watching Lear’s face filled with smiles, other than bitterly laughing, Zhang Shan was absolutely speechless. This guy really was a sly old fox, how did he even do that, was he really only a twenty year old youth?
In fact, the youths present were all very proud. Whether it was the Xuan Grade or the Huang Grade students, Lear’s humility had pleased them, causing the applause to be even louder. The Professors were also satisfied, this was a true model student.
“Oh, Fatty, where are you going?” Zhang Shan asked.
“It’s my turn in a while.” Luo Fei bitterly laughed, and the sad reminder of his life didn’t need to be explained. He had already gone through two rounds, why was the boss still not satisfied?
Zhang Shan laughed. “Good luck!”
He did not intend to watch the match. Luo Fei’s ability was at about the same level as his, being able to advance through the second round was already a miracle. There was no hope in the third, but he really had to buckle up, and should no longer underestimate his opponents.
In fact, he was hoping that Lear would have a chance to fight with Wang Zheng, but in reality this was not possible. It was absolutely impossible to take advantage of Lear’s character, and Zhang Shan was no idiot. On the contrary, his intelligence allowed him to easily understand Lear’s intentions, but it was also this that he thought that it was a miracle that Luo Fei was still surviving for this long.
However, this miraculous fatty, in just five minutes, had defeated his opponent and advanced.
Zhang Shan’s Skynet sent out a series of question marks. Fatty’s answer was very simple. He was lucky, and the other party had diarrhea today.
Zhang Shan simply rolled his eyes, this wretched Fatty and Lear was indeed a perfect combination, not even being truthful to him for once. This had really broadened Zhang Shan’s horizons.
While Zhang Shan was emotionally narrating the situation to Wang Zheng, he was instead not a bit surprised. The rise of the Solar system was still too early, but an opportunity had emerged from the younger generation.
