Chapter 364: Nearly Immortal

Apache didn't slow down. As he increased his speed, his movement had drawn the air away from the center and created a wind wall around Patroclus.

When Apache finally reached the limit of his speed, the space in the middle of the circle had become a complete vacuum. By then, if Patroclus wished to break through the encirclement, it would already be too late.

As the wind wall shrunk in size, a tornado appeared at the center. Suddenly, a glint appeared above Patroclus's head that was unmistakably steel.

It was Apache's coup de grace—Vacuum Tornado!

Apache wagered that Patroclus would allow him time to deliver his coup de grace due to the Ivantian's personality. However, once Apache's coup de grace was released, he doubted if Patroclus would be able to counter it.

Apache bore down his blade on Patroclus, who was restrained by the vacuum from all sides. When the blade was only inches away from him, the Ivantian prince raised his finger and blocked its tip. The tip of the steel blade started to lose its edge and become dull.

Apache spun his body and turned the blade into a drill as he continued forcing the blade down. However, no matter how hard Apache pushed on the blade, the spinning tip didn't move forward even by a hair. As the vacuum effect waned, Patroclus swept his left hand and forced Apache to spin even faster like a top, although unwillingly. When the wind wall dissipated completely, Patroclus swept his right hand again and forced Apache's spinning to go further out of control. Apache was carried by the uplifting force of his motion and flew away like a wild kite. Finally, he hit the energy barrier and thudded heavily to the ground.

After collapsing to the ground, Apache fell unconscious, and was not able to get up again. He was not even able to harm a single hair on the Ivantian Prince.

Not until the big screen played a slow motion of the earlier fight did the audiences realize what had happened on the stage. Not only did the audiences finally realize that Patroclus had been standing in a vacuum all the while, but they had also witnessed him defend himself with a single finger.

Patroclus's display of power had unnerved all of his would-be opponents.

”The winner is—PATROCLUS!”

With the host's final announcement, the match closed its curtains. Although Apache had prepared well for this fight, he was still far too weak to stand up against Patroclus.

By the evening, the first round of the playoffs was concluded. There were no surprises in the outcomes of battles, except for the defeat of Guan Dongyang, the so-called fire god Aegis.

Among all the fighters that had made the cut, Wang Tong knew only one of them personally—Wang Ben.

The remaining fighters mostly came from the Earth, Moon and the Mars. However, there were a few from the Andromeda Galaxy that had also made it.

The second round was about to draw back its curtain, and everyone knew that the competition was only going to become fiercer.

The Puppet Master, Han Linu, had encountered Li Ruoer. Unfortunately for him, his puppets were quickly sliced and diced out of commission by Li Ruoer's blade ”Rosy,” and he was forced to surrender.

Although the Puppeteer Soul Mastery was powerful, it fell short in front of the top fighters of the Confederation. That being said, people did see hope in the mastery, as some believed that Han Linu might have a chance of winning the match should he have brought more puppets with him.

Wang Tong didn't hold back his power during the second round of the playoff, so he quickly finished off his opponent, who was a top-notch level five warrior.

After three days of intense competition, thirty-two warriors remained in the tournament. They were one step closer to their ultimate goal. The name of the fighters was listed below:

Section one: Patroclus, Jiang Long, Samuel, Zader

Section two: Li Shiming, Gong-son Wuce, Gladelus, Victor
