After seeing Dian Lun running around him, avoiding Xiao Bai's attacks and hitting him with spear stabs to weaken his flame barrier, Mo Ze Chen knew that this would take a while unless he did something.
So he chose to do something.
It wasn't that he was afraid that he would lose a battle of attritions, but rather he could feel the chill that was coming from the crowd. Specifically, where Angela was sitting.
Seeing Xiao Bai being led around like this by Dian Lun was naturally not something that Angela wanted to see. Seeing her little boy being played around like this instead of showing off his power, it was only natural that Angela would be filled with anger.
She even caused the temperature around her to drop by several degrees until the people around her were shivering even though they were cultivators.
If she was filled with anger, the one that would suffer would definitely be Mo Ze Chen.
So he couldn't let her get even angrier or else who knew what would be waiting for him when he got back.
His injuries started to ache again when he thought of this.
So Mo Ze Chen didn't waste any time as he pulled out two small daggers from his Storage Ring.
When these two daggers were pulled out, Dian Lun could feel the strange aura that was coming from them. So without any hesitation, he immediately pulled back to the other side of the arena, creating some distance between him and Mo Ze Chen.
He looked at the two daggers with a wary look as he asked, "What are those?"
Mo Ze Chen just revealed a smile as he said, "Well, this is going on for a bit long, so I think that it's about time to answer it."
Dian Lun's expression sank after he heard this and he said, "Do you really think that it'll be as easy as that? I'll just go down because you say I will?"
But even though his mouth was saying this, deep down, he was actually feeling worried.
He hadn't been able to penetrate Mo Ze Chen's defenses with his attacks and even if he was faster than him, he could also feel that his power was running out faster than Mo Ze Chen's. If Mo Ze Chen just waited, there was no doubt that he would win.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSo that was also what confused Dian Lun.
Why did it seem like Mo Ze Chen was in a hurry to end this?
Could it be that there was something that he didn't know about?
After these thoughts came to his mind, Dian Lun decided to take a risk.
He would wait for Mo Ze Chen to make his move and then he would focus all his lightning laws to focus on speed.
This was a technique that he couldn't control properly since his reactions wouldn't be able to keep up with the speed that his body went at, but as long as he was able to dodge Mo Ze Chen's attack, he believed that this would work out. After all, there had to be a reason why Mo Ze Chen was trying to rush this.
So Dian Lun stopped posing to attack and stood there with a defensive stance instead, waiting for Mo Ze Chen to make his move.
Mo Ze Chen's specialty was his artifacts since he wasn't someone that specializes in fighting. Even after receiving training from Angela, that didn't change the fact that he had many different artifacts which was something that he could use to his advantage.
So during the free time that he had, he had gone through the artifacts that he owned to see if there was anything that would be suited for Xiao Bai.
These two daggers were what he chose in the end.
After he brought out those two daggers, he flicked them out and the two daggers flew in front of Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai didn't hesitate at all to release the water claws on his paws and jumped onto the two daggers.
With the size that Xiao Bai had right now, it wasn't a problem for him to ride the two daggers like skis.
Once Xiao Bai had mounted itself on the two daggers, Xiao Bai released a drop of water that quickly became a layer of water that wrapped over him.
Once this was all done, the daggers started flying out again, moving at a speed that most people in the crowd couldn't keep up with.
Dian Lun was one of those people that couldn't keep up with the speed of the dagger, but that didn't matter since he also had a technique that would allow him to increase his speed to the max.
Without any hesitation at all, Dian Lun started running in a circle with his lightning law focused purely on speed.
As soon as he started moving, both he and Xiao Bai disappeared from sight since they were too fast to keep up with, but there were blurs that were formed all over the arena.
One was completely blue and one was completely white, but they appeared at different parts of the arena.
Based on the blurs that appeared, it seemed like they were evenly matched when it came to speed.
However, as time passed, the distance between the blue blurs and the white blurs started getting shorter and shorter until they were almost atop each other.
This finally continued until the blurs stopped completely and Dian Lun's figure appeared, but it wasn't just Dian Lun that appeared alone.
Above Dian Lun, smashing into him was the figure of Xiao Bai on the pair of daggers.
Dian Lun hadn't even been able to guard himself since he had been focused purely on speed, so he had been moving at a speed that he couldn't even react to. Naturally, he hadn't been able to see Xiao Bai catching up to him, so he hadn't been able to set up his defenses.
As soon as Xiao Bai smashed into Dian Lun, he had the wind knocked out of him before he was slammed into the ground, creating a large hole in the arena.
It only took a single look to realize that he had been knocked out since his eyes were rolled back in their sockets.
Seeing this, the referee didn't hesitate as he declared Mo Ze Chen the winner of the match.
If people were doubtful before, even when Mo Ze Chen won against Ying Ling, there was nothing for them to doubt now.
After all, he had shown his power in this fight and based on what they had seen, it didn't seem like he had used all his power yet.
This time, Mo Ze Chen didn't walk right off the stage like all the other times. Instead, Mo Ze Chen came over to the crater that Dian Lun was lying in and he helped pull him out.
After pulling him out, Mo Ze Chen put Dian Lun on the ground beside the crater before nodding at Xiao Bai. Receiving this nod, Xiao Bai created a ball of water above Dian Lun which he dropped onto his face.
When this ball of water hit Dian Lun's face, he immediately regained consciousness.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDian Lun was confused at first as he looked around himself, wondering what had happened, but it didn't take him long to realize that he had lost.
He looked up at Mo Ze Chen who was standing over him and there was a sad look on his face as he said, "It seems like I've lost…" Then after a pause, he said with a sigh, "You really are the one that suits her bet…"
But before he could finish, Mo Ze Chen said, "Is that really all there is to your feelings? You're giving up that easily?"
Dian Lun was caught off guard when he heard this, but then he said with a self deprecating smile, "Even if I don't give up, do I have a chance?"
Mo Ze Chen said with a serious look, "That's why I'm asking if that's all there is to your feelings? If you truly love someone, would you give up that easily?"
It was as if the words that he said had struck a chord with Dian Lun as his eyes suddenly lit up. Dian Lun looked up at Mo Ze Chen and said, "But can I really do it?"
Mo Ze Chen gave a nod and said, "As long as you're not willing to give up, there will be a day that you'll be able to move her heart."
Dian Lun was touched by how Mo Ze Chen went all out to help him, but he still said, "But she's interested in you. I can't compare to you, so how can I win her over?"
Mo Ze Chen calmly said, "I already have someone else that I'm with."
Dian Lun's eyes lit up even more when he heard this as he said, "Really? Is that true?"
Mo Ze Chen gave a nod.
Dian Lun excitedly jumped up and grabbed Mo Ze Chen in a hug as he said, "Brother, you are my life's greatest benefactor! I'll be sure to name my first child after you!"
Mo Ze Chen just patted him on the shoulder before saying, "Alright, alright, get off already!"
Dian Lun didn't let go at first, but eventually he did let go.
Dian Lun took Mo Ze Chen by the shoulder and said, "Brother Mo, you are my sworn brother from this day forth!"
Mo Ze Chen just revealed a bitter smile as he let himself be dragged off to the resting area by Dian Lun.
In fact, the main reason he did this was so he could push Ying Ling who kept bothering him to someone else.
But now it seemed like all he did was pick up another person who bothered him…
