Chapter 191: A Legendary Character (2/2)

”I’ll do the honor!” Hu Yangxuan stood up and replied.

Wang Tong nodded. Hu Yangxuan had been training quite hard lately, and Wally seemed like the perfect opponent for him.

Wang Tong’s goal was to aim for the final victory, and he also knew that this tournament was not just about him, but for the sake of Ayrlarng. This tournament was the perfect opportunity for self-motivation and self-improvement, and Wang Tong had shown his best performances in Battlecraft Combat. So now would be the time for Hu Yangxuan to show his talents.

Not to mention, the opposing team would be saving their stronger aces for later. Hence, this was definitely the chance to obtain one win.

Hu Yangxuan was ready for the challenge ahead.

Participants would be fighting each other in Capth’s TPA, which was slightly different from the conventional TPA. Capth’s TPA was programmed to simulate the consumption of Soul Energy, even though it wouldn’t cause any harm to the participant’s body.

Meanwhile, Wally seemingly wasn’t bothered at all by the fact that his next opponent was a Templar's follower.

Check!

Check!

Wally wielded his rapier, a type of sharp-edged blade that was commonly used by ancient western noblemen. This type of weapon was famous for its rapid stabs and amazing agility.

On the other hand, Hu Yangxuan was equipped with a sword and a round-shield. Clearly, he had done his researches about Wally.

This was a duel between two fighters of the same level, as Wally was Capth’s No.1 amongst first graders while Hu Yangxuan was a Templar's follower. Nevertheless, in the eyes of the students of Capth, Ma Xiaoru and Hu Yangxuan were the only elites that Ayrlarng had.

Wally sneered confidently while looking at the round-shield on Hu Yangxuan’s left hand.

The first match had begun!

Wally immediately activated his Soul Energy and unleashed his GN Force. Knowing that offense was the best defense for rapiers, he began to unleash his rapid stabs. He bet that his opponent didn’t know that a shield would never be able to parry all of his attacks.

Wally had constantly been changing his pacing while striking Hu Yangxuan with his rapid attacks. Instantly, Hu Yangxuan was amazed by Wally’s amazing skills and the fearsome agility of the rapier!

After a while, Hu Yangxuan was injured. Somehow, his shield was able to parry the first strike, but was unable to ward off the following strike. Hu Yangxuan had been trying to counter, yet Wally always managed to dodge and stay out of his striking distance.

Wally then placed his rapier in front of his chest and tried to provoke Hu Yangxuan. Luckily Hu Yangxuan was able to keep calm and get into position. Although Wally possessed an amazing agility, yet his attacks were not deadly enough.

Hu Yangxuan then began to unleash his counter attacks. It seemed like he really had mastered the basics he learned at Court of the Templar, and managed to keep Wally busy with his continuous slashes. Hu Yangxuan’s pacing was stable, and he was exceptionally skilled in defending with GN Force. Clearly, Court of the Templar had done a great job in training such an amazing elite.

Furthermore, Hu Yangxuan was able to read his opponent’s rhythm and also sense his opponent’s desire to attack while maintaining his stability. It was clear that Hu Yangxuan was no longer the arrogant kid he used to be after going through so many things. The way he fought had become more mature, and he even learned how to read minds.

Hu Yangxuan noticed that Wally wasn’t only some bloke with a big mouth, as his family had been practicing rapiers for centuries and they had even created their own battling methods by infusing GN Force into their rapier attacks. It might be sort of useless on the battlefield, but it was definitely strong in a duel.

Clearly, Wally wasn’t called No.1 for nothing.

The fight was already intense as soon as it began. Hu Yangxuan had been hit for a few times, yet he was still unable to deal much damage to Wally. After all, attacking a moving target was not an easy task.

Only Apache, who possessed incredible agility, would be able to deal with Wally’s speed.

”Things are not looking good for Hu Yangxuan.”

”That slick sonuvab*tch, how I wish he stops bouncing here and there. Cao Yi, have you done any research on how to handle this crazy dude?” Carl asked.

Cao Yi scratched his head and answered, ”Honestly, I did, but his speed is much quicker than I expected.”

On the other hand, Apache was looking elsewhere, it seemed like he wasn’t paying any attention to the match at all.

Meanwhile, Hu Yangxuan was still struggling to deal with Wally. It seemed like Wally was more patient than expected. Hu Yangxuan chose to use a shield in the first place because he was hoping that it would be able to frustrate his opponent and cause him to make mistakes. Basically, Hu Yangxuan was thinking on the right track, but somehow had forgotten that rapier users were known to be patient. They tended to behave like venomous snakes, accurately jabbing little by little.

Wally had obviously obtained the upper hand in this match, and he was waiting for the right moment to unleash his knockout strike.
