Chapter 346: The Third and The Fourth (2/2)

Stingham’s constant screams and the sounds of hard impacts made it seem like Stingham and his golden metal puppet opponent were locked in an intense battle.

However, the actual situation was one which would render anyone speechless.

Because at this point, Stingham had stopped attacking whatsoever. He’d simply taken a seat on the floor and allowed the golden metal puppet to throw any strike it wanted.

After all, although he was helpless against the puppet, the puppet was helpless against him as well. None of its strikes were able to break through his defense and injure him.

“Idiot!”

Rinloran’s voice abruptly rang in Stingham’s ear.

“Rinloran?!”

Stingham jumped up in fear.

“This fellow has cursed at me so many times I’m hallucinating it now,” Stingham muttered to himself, his face gloomy.

He looked around and confirmed that there was nothing around him except for the golden metal puppet.

It had indeed just been a figment of his imagination.

“Those fellows… they wouldn’t have left me behind, right?”

Fear invaded Stingham’s heart as he abruptly wondered about the others.

“What should I do?”

Stingham’s face became even gloomier.

In the time prior, Rui had only taught him defensive skills. Even if he used them perfectly, they would have no effect in progressing this current situation.

“Bang!”

The sharp shield edge came swinging towards his face yet again.

“I told you already! Stop aiming for my face!”

“And stop interrupting my thoughts! I’m thinking!”

Stingham reflexively kicked at the golden metal puppet.

“Ding!”

The golden metal puppet showed its careful and programmed nature as it responded, moving its other arm to position a shield in the path of Stingham’s foot and sending Stingham falling backwards.

At this exact moment, an idea emerged in Stingham’s mind.

“Wait a minute. Shock Conduction transforms the force from an enemy’s strike into shockwaves which then travel out into the ground through the feet. If I am able to transfer that force into an enemy instead… won’t it harm them?”

“If this metal puppet suffers too much internal shock, it will stop working right?”

“Hahaha, I am indeed a genius, and the most handsome one!” Stingham couldn’t help but cackle as he put his hands on his waist.

“Dong!”

At this moment, a shield slammed into his face, interrupting his laughter.

Two streams of blood began to trickle from Stingham’s nostrils.

In his moment of excitement, Stingham had forgotten to use Shock Conduction. As a result, his face had suffered from the force of the blow, causing it to swell.

“I’m going to shake you to death!” Stingham screamed as the look on his face became fierce and hideous.

He quickly jumped back up onto his feet.

“Bang!”

When the shield approached his face this time, he fiercely grabbed it with both of his hands and then extended both of his legs towards the golden metal puppet’s body.

However, his feet failed to reach their target. As a result, he could not transfer any shockwaves.

Using the two shields attached to its arms, the golden metal puppet continued its assault.

“I don’t believe that I won’t succeed!”

Stingham’s body constantly twisted and contorted as he finally engaged in ‘battle’ with the golden metal puppet.

After countless exchanges and an unknown period of time, Stingham seemed to slowly be finding ways of dealing with this opponent which had stifled and beaten on him for so long. No matter how the golden metal puppet moved or responded, it was unable to push Stingham away.

A couple more minutes passed. By this point, Stingham was draped over the golden metal puppet like the zombie of Lover’s Corpse.

Although awkward-looking, Stingham had managed to twist his body into a position which suppressed the golden metal puppet’s movements and allowed him to firmly press the soles of his feet into its insteps.

“How is it? You can’t get rid of me!”

“Hahaha! Die from the vibrations!”

Stingham cackled madly as shockwaves created from the golden metal puppet’s own blows were transferred through his feet into its body, causing it to vibrate internally.

Sounds began to ring out from within the golden metal puppet’s body as its movements became increasingly uncoordinated.

“What kind of method is this?”

“He actually came up with a method like this?!”

“Even this fellow is going to pass this challenge?!”

Atop the bronze wall, all of the referees and medical masters were in a state of complete disbelief.
