Chapter 103: Loss and blessing with a faint smile (2/2)

A crack in the air flitted in his line of sight. His fist thrust inside like lightning.

With an explosive “Pa,” his fist struck Chris’ left shoulder.

But just at this instant, with a bang, Chris’ hand also jabbed the left side of his chest.

The almost instant recoil sent both of them backwards at the same time. There was only a tearing pain in their muscles, but their bones didn’t suffer any heavy damage.

“Swoosh!”

The next instant, both their silhouettes were already clashing together again. The air filled with a blur of palms and fists. Flames and lights collided nonstop. Clouds of dust exploded continuously from the ground.

The first reaction in Ferguillo’s mind was, impossible.

His Mind Reading actually failed. It was entirely unable to foresee Chris’ next actions.

He had been entirely suppressing Chris just moments ago, but the situation turned into Chris starting to suppress him comprehensively instead!

“What happened?”

“There’s no problem at all with Ferguillo’s stamina, how can Chris occupy the upper hand and go on the offensive?”

In only a few seconds, many people in the stands noticed with incomparable shock that Chris held the initiative with her attacks!

This girl that people mocked as a crazy girl had abandoned all defense. She attacked, throwing caution to the wind.

Attack!

Attack once more!

Air cracks seemed to cover the space all around her, but Ferguillo could only react passively to her assault!

Her petite body seemed like an erupting volcano at this time, blossoming with scalding flames of war. Everyone’s heart trembled in their chest, and couldn’t stop.

“Why’s this happening!”

“Why the boss can’t follow her speed now?”

The faces of all the Iron Forest students became snow-white!

“Teacher Carter, how did Chris do that?” Ayrin was also shouting, and shouting again.

“Her body already exceeded the limits of her consciousness.” Carter strangely shook his head. The scene of this dangerous and reckless attack filled him with an inexplicable shock as well. “It’s also because she knew she could do it, she knew she could restrain Ferguillo, that’s the reason why she was confident of her victory.”

“Her body exceeded the limits of consciousness?” Ayrin was slightly baffled. He couldn’t understand.

“Usually, when it comes to any action, it’s the consciousness that directs the body. We stretch out our hand only when we want to stretch out a hand,” Carter explained. “But with her current actions, it’s just as if her body were directing itself, like a familiar sequence drilled into her by her training. She doesn’t need to think at all. Her body is frantically operating by itself, just like the machines forged by dwarven metalsmiths. You have to go through who knows how many training sessions, become proficient to a degree hard to imagine, then force yourself to the very limit, before you can fight relying entirely on your body’s reactions, without the need to think at all.

“In such a situation, Ferguillo can simply not predict her next actions. Also, when it comes to Ferguillo’s defense, he has to focus his spirit to a high degree to continuously cope with her attacks. Under such a high frequency and extreme degree of focus, Ferguillo’s definitely weakening faster than her. Also, since her current situation comes from her body’s spontaneous actions born from the familiarity brought by her training, it’s simply impossible for her to make any mistake. But Ferguillo is after all a man and not a god. No matter how formidable he is, a mistake will always end up appearing.”

“So it’s like this.” Ayrin was stunned completely silly. “So it turns out the weapon she’s using to deal with Ferguillo is the nonstop painstaking training she went through for so long, went through for longer than anyone else. She only has ordinary talent, yet she earned this kind of strength. She indeed repeatedly trained her physical strength and arcane power much much more than anybody else..”

“Without taking arcane particles and arcane skills into consideration, my body is still a step worse than hers!” At this time, Ferguillo also understood the underlying reason. He also felt that his consumption of stamina led Chris’ movements to appear faster and faster, making his defense harder.

He was clearly aware in his mind that he still had one last choice even in these circumstances. That was to land a critical strike in the same instant Chris inflicted heavy damage on him, causing both sides to suffer.

In a struggle for life and death, with the currently tiny disparity between Chris and himself, the final result could well be both dying, or one dead and one heavily wounded.

“Bring it on!”

But just as this thought popped in his mind like a flash of lightning, he actually dropped his hands, softly saying a well-wishing blessing in his mind.

“Puff puff puff puff…”

Countless pounding sounds came from his body. Many tiny bright flames lit up on him in a split second.

“Boss!”

In the entire arena, Iron Forest students shouted loud in worry. A faint smile floated on the corner of his mouth. He snapped backwards and flew away. Fell heavily on the ground.

Even in defeat, don’t leave any regrets behind.

This was the criterion he lived his life by.

In this fight, even if he lost, he didn’t have any regrets, so he smiled faintly at the time of his defeat.
