Chapter 368: Vayu Unsheathed (2/2)
Li Shiming raised ”Vayu” to block the attack. However, as soon as the sword came into contact with the ice blades, another two spherical energy balls erupted.
”Ice Seal!”
The ice GN force suddenly gushed towards Li Shiming, but the latter was prepared. Li Shiming twisted Yayu over with an intense force. The legendary weapon sent out a sharp energy wave that cut open the air like gutting a fish belly.
”Zing!”
The energy wave traveled too fast for Gong-son Wuce to react, and carved a large wound on the Ivantian's body, sending him stumbling back for a dozen meters.
”Try harder, Brother Gong-son, or you won't be able to try at all.”
Although the ice attribute was unique in its own ways, it was not enough to overcome Li Shiming and ”Vayu.”
Gong-son Wuce rubbed his chest where he was hit, and the wound was frozen over immediately. He licked the frozen blood off his finger; the taste of iron in his mouth, combined with the excitement of fighting someone so powerful, pushed him closer towards a trance.
So far, Gong-son Wuce had only released a fraction of his mastery power. Since he saw Li Shiming had used his legendary sword, he figured that he should no longer hold back his power either.
Gong-son Wuce ripped open his shirt, pumped his fists together, and shouted like an animal; his soul energy surged exponentially. An icy flower with its petals forming the pattern of a snowflake bloomed underneath the Ivantian's feet. The flower quickly transformed from a two-dimensional drawing into a three-dimensional ice statue. All the while, Gong-son Wuce's soul energy had reached four hundred and eighty-three; he was infinitesimally close to level six.
The icy GN force quickly surrounded the entire arena, and the Ivantian had already turned into a white soldier with a pair of glinting silvery eyes.
”Ice Tsunami!” Gong-son Wuce shouted and waved his hand. Suddenly, Li Shiming felt an immensely powerful force coming down on him from above.
Li Shiming didn't try to evade the attack—he knew it was useless. Instead, he blocked the attack with his blade.
”Komm!”
A deafening blare erupted from the impact; for a while, no one could hear anything. With an upward cut, ”Vayu” had sliced open the energy that was boring down on Li Shiming, and he immediately plunged the blade towards his opponent without any hesitation.
”Clank!”
Gong-son Wuce's ice shield was shattered, and the impact sent the Ivantian backward until he hit the energy barrier.
The white frost on the ground contrasted the darkest shade of the crimson blood. Li Shiming walked slowly toward his opponent. ”You have done well—mastery has done well. But, it's still not enough.”
Li Shiming extended an arm to the Ivantian, who had already collapsed on the ground, struggling to get up.
Gong-son Wuce had met many opponents, but no one was as polite as Li Shiming.
”The winner is —LI SHIMING!”
Although Gong-son Wuce was defeated, he had proven the effectiveness of mastery to the world by forcing Li Shiming to use his legendary sword. This fight had no doubt increased the mastery's popularity among young people, especially those who dared to experiment new methods.
Meanwhile, in the first section, Patroclus was fighting his opponent—the Kaedeian Samuel.
They had been exchanging a few rounds of attacks, and Samuel had already felt pressure to stand her ground.
The beautiful Kaedeian gritted her teeth—it was time to test her limit.
Samuel charged again at Patroclus with abandon, but she failed to protect her vulnerable spots. Sensing his opponent's mistake, Patroclus smiled and punched at the Kaedeian girl's belly. The punch hit square and finished the fight then and there.
In the fifth section, an attractive looking young girl called Qin Yue, who was the heir of the ”Soul Devour” sect—named after their weapon/instrument, the soul-devouring harp— was about to fight against Michaux Odin.
”Young master, please allow me to play a song for us.” The girl asked slowly.
”Please, indulge me.” The young master answered politely.
The peaceful and amicable scene made the audience think that the two were flirting with each other instead of fighting.
