595 Entangled Fate (1/2)

The girls vented their complaints to each other. After a while, Ye Zi piped up, ”I doubt they know what this match is all about.”

”They would if they actually used what's on their shoulder instead of what's in between their legs!”

The girls talked casually with each other while they were not in a formal setting. Xiao Yuyu and Ye Zi's infatuation for Wang Tong had long since been a public secret. The competition, if there were any, didn't distance the two; instead, they became even closer friends than before. Although they both knew that Wang Tong only cared for his first love, Ma Xiaoru, neither of them was willing to let go of their obsession for him. Thinking along the same lines, wasn't Wang Tong the same as them? He, too, was obsessed with a girl whom he would probably never meet again; she might as well be dead to him. But, he held onto his longing for her so tightly that it seemed as silly as Xiao Yuyu and Ye Zi's infatuation for him.

Everyone knew that even if Wang Tong attended the match and won, he wouldn't accept the reward: Princess Brenda.

On the stage, the fight was still going on. Xiao Libie's kopesh skill had given him a significant edge in the fight. Not only was the attack power increased as a result, but the sound wave that came after the attack was difficult to predict and defend against. However, Guan Dongyang didn't waver; instead, he was very interested in General Xiao's technique.

After being pushed back a few times, Guan Dongyang flew himself into the air to gain some distance from his opponent. He cast an energy shield spell to ward off the secondary sound wave attacks. Once the energy shield was up, Guan Dongyang would unleash his full power on his opponent. Xiao Libie's aggressive attack had ignited his desire to overcome him.

General Xiao's power had also caught Wang Tong by surprise. While he marveled at the intensity of the kopesh attacks, Wang Tong was also amazed by the incredibly tricky sound wave attacks.

Xiao Libie was a renowned warrior, not because he was Zambrotta's favorite student, but more so because he was a truly solid and powerful warrior. He never expected to put in so much effort into this event. This was supposed to be another stroll in the park. However, Guan Dongyang's appearance had changed everything. The promise of defeating a legendary high-level warrior elated Xiao Libie as he kept on stepping up the game.

The battle quickly turned into a clash of two lethal warriors. As Guan Dongyang doubled down on his mastery attacks, his damage output was more than tripled. Guan Dongyang had grown his power so fast within the few months; his attacks were very close to being the exemplar of devastating power. Lacking in any form of physical damage, in order to win against a METAL warrior, a caster's only option was to increase the spell levels to break the METAL defense. Many spells at a higher level could outright ignore the effect of the METAL suits.

Meanwhile, Xiao Libie didn't allow his opponent to gain the upper hand as he cranked up his GN force. Guan Dongyang was the most powerful mastery caster he had seen so far. Not only did he find it impossible to get close to the latter, but he also noticed no flaws in his movement. It was as if Guan Dongyang was used to fighting against METAL warriors one on one.

Xiao Libie knew that the longer the battle last, the smaller his winning odds would become. However, since he was mired in the deadlock with his opponent, he could neither give up nor find a breakthrough. There was only one option left for him to break the circle: to raze the entire area to the ground using all of his remaining soul energy.

Suddenly, a relaxing music came out from afar, and the sounds untangled the two's knotted energy and threw them off balance, forcing the two to back away from each other.

”Guan Dongyang, you do worth your salt.”

Brenda walked to the stage while wearing a full set of armor. Her hand carried her weapon called Cloud Pierce, a magical flute.

Guan Dongyang needed no introduction as the girl's exquisite beauty had disclosed her identity. Although she was the same age as the Divine Goddess Susu, Brenda projected an image of a strong-willed and steadfast heroine. She had a pair of long and elegant legs, and her eyes were dreamy, with the gleaming desire for a real hero in her life.

”Thank you for the compliment. Since I couldn't best your champion, I guess I will just leave the stage now.” Guan Dongyang put in.

”Wait a second.” Xiao Libie shouted.

”What is it?”
