Chapter 20 – Summon, Zi (I)
Hehe. Zi appears!
——————————————————————————-
The match continued. Against everyone’s expectations, the third compet.i.tor of the Heavy Cavalry division for this battle was unexpectedly General Nesta.
His right hand held the cavalryman spear and tilted it down towards the floor, imitating the posture of Buddha lightly grabbing a rice straw. Nesta didn’t resemble the previous two compet.i.tors who’d immediately launched attacks against Ye Yin Zhu. Pressing forward for twenty steps, he and his Maginot Iron Dragon slowly walked up to Ye Yin Zhu. As steady as a mountain, Nesta currently exuded an imposing aura. His gaze was serene, but this calmness brimmed with an inexhaustible battlel.u.s.t. His every movement was very steady, without even a trace of a flaw.
“Ye Yin Zhu, your strength has my respect.” As Nesta coldly spoke, the Maginot Iron Dragon stopped thirty meters away from Ye Yin Zhu.
Ye Yin Zhu smiled tranquilly, firmly grasping the Moon and Tides’ Clear Brilliance Zither that had appeared once more. He’d already felt, since the beginning of the fight, that he would be facing his most challenging battle in the entirety of the Freshman Compet.i.tion here. On the surface, Nesta was not as dangerous when compared to Rolande’s Green Dragon, but Yin Zhu’s instincts said otherwise. This Heavy Cavalryman before him was one of the strongest students he had ever seen and was currently his most pressuring opponent.
“Out of respect for your power, I don’t want my companions to tire you anymore. Let us make this a fair battle. If you defeat me, you defeat the entire Heavy Cavalry division. Since it appears that you are the plenipotentiary of the Divine Music division, I will also represent my division.” The calmness in Nesta’s eyes was gradually ignited. He slowly lifted his cavalryman spear from the ground.
Ye Yin Zhu looked at him with some amazement. “Won’t you be very disadvantaged this way?”
Nesta smiled calmly and said, “If I need others to help me tire you out in order to be able to defeat you, then that kind of victory, as far as I’m concerned, has no meaning. My goal is to continuously improve my strength. This can only be accomplished by constantly challenging stronger people. Come, make me acknowledge your magic-martial arts combination.”
Ye Yin Zhu smiled. He pressed his right hand against his chest and conducted the standard mage etiquette towards Nesta. This lofty opponent had also won his respect and affection.
“Sha——” Nesta exhaled with a shout. His left hand was poised beneath his chest, pressing down against the Maginot Iron Dragon. As the Maginot Iron Dragon’s body dropped down, Nesta’s five-meter lance shot out towards Ye Yin Zhu like lightning. With an immense battlel.u.s.t and tremendous vigor, he finally transcended past the bottleneck of the Yellow Rank.
Faint green dou qi wove downwards from the tip of the lance to the b.u.t.t. The Maginot Iron Dragon’s powerful momentum allowed Nesta to approach Ye Yin Zhu instantly. When his lance thrust out, however, the sharp tip was still approximately three meters away from Ye Yin Zhu. Did he make a mistake? No, of course not.
Green dou qi finished condensing, coating the sharp tip of the spear in some type of substance. In the blink of an eye, it extended the spear tip by a little over three meters, surpa.s.sing the distance to touch Ye Yin Zhu’s chest. The sharp tip exuded a suffocating feeling, leaving no doubt as to its destructive power.
“Battle Edge?” While spectating the battle from within the rostrum, Ferguson couldn’t help uttering those words of amazement.
Dean Tie Bi of the Heavy Cavalry division calmly said, “To be able to use Green Rank dou qi to successfully execute Battle Edge, from what I’ve seen, Nesta is the first to do so. If all goes well, within 10 years, he will become a Gold Star Dragon Cavalry Commander. Within 20 years, he will become the youngest Violet Star Dragon Cavalry Commander in history. Perhaps his apt.i.tude can’t compare with the two boys of the Violet Clan, but no one else can compare with his dedication to improving his strength.”
