Chapter 354: Three and Three (1/2)

The same terrifying fluctuations of arcane energy appeared around Black Chris.

Two waves of black flames erupted and collided in midair!

The space where Chris and Black Chris stood was abruptly filled with black smoke as a powerful shockwave sent countless metal fragments flying into the curtain of light surrounding them.

“What is Chris trying to do?”

“Why did she suddenly use Dark Destruction Dragon?”

All the referees and medical masters were perplexed as they could not see anything at this current moment.

“A battle of attrition… this is where Ayrin is stronger than me. Against a stronger opponent, he forcefully endures their strike to land one of his own!”

“The ability to endure pain… I must endure!”

Amidst the smoke, Chris’ entire left arm was covered with terrifying bloody wounds. However, the look in her eyes showed that she was more determined than ever.

“Whoosh!”

Her body trembled uncontrollably, but it didn’t stop her as she grit her teeth and pressed forward.

She quickly passed through the smoke and flames and appeared before Black Chris, which was still trembling and unable to respond.

“What!”

All the observing referees and medical masters’ pupils contracted simultaneously as the smoke was forcefully dissipated by a powerful wave of arcane energy, revealing Chris and Black Chris right next to one another.

Chris’ right hand was like a spear of white light as it pierced Black Chris’ chest.

“Sage’s Stab!” A referee couldn’t help but utter as they watched the scene unfold.

Sage’s Stab was not a terribly strong skill.

Furthermore, Chris had already expended the vast majority of her arcane particles in her previous strike.

“Crack!”

However, it was enough as Black Chris’ chest abruptly caved in.

“Fuuuuuu…”

All the referees and medical masters simultaneously exhaled as they watched Chris decisively strike out with her blood covered left arm.

Black Chris continued to tremble uncontrollably as Chris’ left palm descended towards the depression in its chest.

“Boom!”

A violent explosion occurred as a red fireball appeared in Chris’ extended palm and was pressed into Black Chris’ chest.

“Cliff Sundering Blast!” Leonardo exclaimed in a serious manner.

Streaks of light began to appear as cracks emerged all over Black Chris.

Then, in the next moment, it blew to pieces.

“So this is the path she found,” Clancy muttered, a complex look on his face.

At the start, Clancy had told Leonardo that the way to surpass oneself and pass this trial was to look for weakness in one’s own skills which could be exploited, and to not pursue a physical breakthrough. Yet now, Ayrin, Rinloran and Chris had all passed this trial by physically surpassing themselves!

These children were many times more terrifying than the Holy Dawn Evil Six of the past.

“That’s three of them. According to the rules of the competition, Holy Dawn Academy has already won first place…”

All the referees and medical masters felt numb as they exchanged looks with each other and then turned their attention towards yet another crystal ball.

“The other three… they won’t all pass right?”

This very thought emerged in all their minds.

“Stingham…”

Their expressions all abruptly turned strange.

……

“Just what kind of strange thing are you?!”

“I’m going to shock you to death!”

“Why do you keep copying me? Why are you hugging me?!”

Stingham’s screams rang out incessantly.

He and Black Stingham were entwined around each other like two strings of a rope as they tussled around on the ground.

Their fight looked like two children just playing around. There was no semblance of a dangerous battle at all.

A major reason for this was that Stingham, being lazy, had not learned any real offensive skills outside of Gates of Gods, which consumed many arcane particles. As a result, if it wasn’t Water Dragon, then it was Fist of the Golden Lion.

But since Black Stingham had completely replicated his defensive skills, these skills only barely tickled it as they sent it staggering backwards.

As a result, Stingham had decided to try and use the method which had allowed him to pass the previous trial against the golden metal puppet. To his complete surprise, however, Black Stingham had immediately copied him, leading to their current state where they were stuck to each other with tremors traveling back and forth between them.

These tremors caused Stingham’s limbs to feel weak, not because of pain, but because of comfort.

“Just what kind of trial is this?”

“Are you built to give people massages?”

“But if this is the case, why did you transform into me, and not a pretty girl?!”
