RUMBLE...

The last stroke cleaved down, directly bearing down on the Storm Swordsman. This was Hocatolin’s tribute to just now.

Only, Hocatolin was surprised that such an attack was actually unable to subdue Wang Zheng, who managed to block it.

A warning alarm appeared, and Void Shadow God leaped back. Wang Zheng’s Storm Swordsman let loose a ferocious uppercut that connected with air.

Hocatolin was shocked as well. He had not expected Wang Zheng’s physical skills to be so solid, that his current state was actually incapable of suppressing him.

What had happened in this short month?

Under such attacks and domination of the arena, Wang Zheng was still only using physical skills to defend. The audience was also wide-mouthed. This was not the Wang Zheng of before.

The Wang Zheng of the past was strong as well. His physical skill was excellent, but not at this level of resistance.

Lear’s face was serene, but his look was fiery. How was this possible?

What had happened in the month in the abyss? How had he improved so much? The Wang Zheng of the past could not have stopped such attacks. Now he had not only countered it, but done so with such calm.

This feeling was very, very unsatisfying!

At one side, Luo Fei was a quivering slab of fat. F*ck, it looked like he was about to fall into bankruptcy. He had estimated low on Wang Zheng, and the betting odds were skewed. From the way things looked to him before, Hocatolin stood a 90% chance of winning. If Wang Zheng won, then the remaining 10% would see him broke.

God help him. Wang Zheng my classmate, Wang Zheng big brother, this is no time to make your statement. And this Hocatolin. Was he a phoenix or a pheasant? What kind of Aslan aristocracy was this? Show your stuff!

Hocatolin’s Void Shadow God suddenly twirled. In the cockpit, Hocatolin was exultant. Not just exultant, but his eyes indicated he was especially happy. At this time, nothing else mattered. He suddenly understood that he used Ability X to bring forth his physical skills. With his energy reserves, learning anything was easy. And perhaps Wang Zheng used his physical skills to further his understanding of Ability X. It looked like he had to go at it for real.

How could the power of an inferno be controlled?

Suddenly, Void Shadow God disappeared. This was not the warp ability of Void Shadow God, which could only be used 3 times. Any user would treasure those uses. This was simply the full speed that Void Shadow God was capable of.

But such speed could not escape Wang Zheng’s eye. If one wanted Wang Zheng to bring his full strength, then one must first bring sufficient power to bear.

The beam saber cut down with full strength, because the Void Shadow God was right in front of Wang Zheng. Was this all-out movement simply for Void Shadow God to be cut down by Wang Zheng

Wang Zheng’s sword cleaved down, but Hocatolin’s Void Shadow God really did not move, inviting Wang Zheng to cut down upon it.

BOOM...

Void Shadow God remained unmoving, but Wang Zheng’s Storm Swordsman flew back more than 10 meters, and the surface of the mecha was covered in soot.

“Flame Reversal Shield. This guy’s getting serious now.” Pampas laughed.

“It used to be just defensive. Now it can actually counter-attack. This move is pretty dangerous.” Marzu nodded in approval.

In the instant that Wang Zheng’s beam saber had cut down, a layer of flame shield had materialized. Wang Zheng’s attack had not only been blocked, but had scorched him as well.

Such a defensive attack was really unbreakable. This was the reason why Ability X was ultimately superior to physical skill – because it could utilize external strength, and could reach a higher realm of art that had endless possibilities.

Hocatolin was finally getting serious. He gazed at Wang Zheng. He hoped he would not let him down. He was giving him plenty of respect.

Wang Zheng’s heart was burning as well. No wonder these 4 were hailed as the Xuan Grade students closest to the Earth Grade. This Ability X usage was marvelous. With such an ability, opponents would kill themselves with their own attacks.

The Storm Swordsman did not pause, but immediately attacked again.

Lear’s mouth twitched in a cold grin. “In the end, the depth of Ability X is still the fatal decider.”

“As expected of Boss!” From his side, Luo Fei immediately threw in some fawning. In his heart, he was still calculating how much money he could earn. This Hocatolin seemed destined to win. Although many people had backed him, but he would still earn some. He did not know which scumbag had put a heavy bet on Wang Zheng. D*mn, he was after his life.

The same class of Ability X strength, but a difference in understanding and skill, led to a difference in battle power that was like heaven and earth. The room for ability improvement was limited, and slowed the more one climbed. But skills and understanding were limitless. This was where humanity excelled at.

Against the Storm Swordsman’s barbarous assault, Hocatolin frowned. This was foolhardy.

Void Shadow God lurched forward, but suddenly felt as though something was impeding the mecha’s advance. He actually... somersaulted.

At this moment, the Storm Swordsman’s beam saber had already cut forward like lightning.

Shing...

Void Shadow God suddenly disappeared. This was the warp ability of Void Shadow God, which immediately displaced it over 10 meters away.

The crowd gasped. If it was not for the superior capabilities of the Void Shadow God, Hocatolin would have had to take the blow. Although he would not have lost, but he would have taken cruel punishment indeed.

Halfway through its advance, the mecha’s legs had been halted. Such a turn of events was completely unprecedented.

Frost ability.

Such a usage was something even Huang Grade students were capable of.

Hocatolin’s inferno ability enveloped his whole body. His two consecutive mistakes had caused him to lose face. This guy’s Frost ability was actually used that well.

Void Shadow God had enough of it. He began to subdue the Storm Swordsman. Wang Zheng’s finessed interferences were no longer useful. Hocatolin’s Ability X directly suppressed Wang Zheng. Inferno defense was perfectly suited to counter Frost’s interruptions. With a jerk, the fire power reached the maximum. Void Shadow God’s speed advantage gave it the dominant spot, and it began to fire wildly towards the Storm Swordsman.

But Wang Zheng’s defense was impenetrable. It was not so easy for the power of Inferno to infiltrate in. Wang Zheng’s Ability X defense was flawless. Defense required less energy compared to attacking. The strange fire attack was fizzled by his ice. Even if some small amounts entered, Wang Zheng’s own strong physical strength could brush it aside.

Wang Zheng was analyzing his opponent’s usage of fire. This was indeed an expert close to Earth Grade. His own Frost interference was practically useless. It was not that Old Zhuo had not taught him the good stuff, but simply a matter of affinity. Ice and fire were opposites, and strength was the decider of victory and defeat.

They could not continue like this.

BOOM...

Hocatolin had finally gotten the upper hand. Under his Ability X control, his beam saber had become a Magma sword, cutting towards the Storm Swordsman as though it could rend space itself.

Wang Zheng could not dodge anymore. If he used Frost ability at this time, the result would not be pretty.

His ability would be completely shut down.

BOOM...

Both beam sabers clashed together, the fire and energy filling the skies.

... Inferno ability?

Wang Zheng’s beam saber was infused with Inferno ability as well, and the fire shield’s body had sustained a crack as well.

This...

“This is also an idea born of having no other option left. Since his Ice ability has been completely suppressed, why not use the same element to fight. Too bad such a solution only worsens the problem.” Jiang Feng said with a smile that held approval, but also frustration.

The two beam sabers clashed together, sending a pillar of fire towards the skies. But everybody could see that Hocatolin’s Ability X was significantly stronger. Wang Zheng could counter-attack at will, but each attack saw him sustain injury as well. Mecha had their limit; how far could he push it?

Wang Zheng was simply struggling at death’s door.

Lear finally allowed himself to smile. Finally his limit had been reached. Although he had improved, but it was still within acceptable boundaries.

Marzu glanced at Olivios. “Perhaps you should consider changing your opponent.”

The way Marzu saw it, this person was still not worthy of being Olivios’ opponent. His ability was varied, and mastery was decent. But against a real pro, such things were useless. Battle was simply about killing the other.

Olivios faced his brother, expressionless. “You underestimate him too much.”

Just as he said that, the situation changed. Logically, Wang Zheng should have gradually succumbed. But now he was actually doing the controlling.

D*mn!

The beam saber had laid his opponent bare. With a frenzied advance, he bore down like a mad tiger charging down the hill. Unstoppable.

BOOM...

The fire shield shattered, and the energy shields activated again, but Void Shadow God was still knocked back more than 10 meters.

Storm Swordsman was still full of killing intent.

Hocatolin gritted his teeth, and forcefully controlled his mecha into balance, at the same time curbing his own elevating blood pressure.

“That’s impossible! Your Ability X cannot possibly defend against my attack!” Hocatolin burst out angrily.

“This is not a world where Ability X decides everything. The little bit of overspill means nothing to me.”

Wang Zheng’s tone was even, but held an undertone of dominance.

All domination was proudly displayed. Only some were privately displayed, and some were publicly displayed.

Olivios’ expressionless face finally showed some malevolence. “As a fighter, one must first develop a body that is like steel, not some weak body!” action

A body of steel was cruel to enemies, and even harsher on oneself. Only then could one become the ultimate warrior and killing machine!

He favored Wang Zheng and no other, because this guy hid a cruelty in his bones, a cruelty towards himself.

This little bit of standard was nothing.

It took one to recognize another.

Hocatolin could feel considerable power from his opponent’s aura. His own fire was actually useless?!

Were there actually people in this world who could withstand Ability X wounds with flesh?

The arena was full of muttering as well. Those watching the broadcast were discussing it as well. This Wang Zheng seemed invulnerable. His physical strength was intimidating. How the hell did these Earthlings train?

Hocatolin laughed loudly. “Good, good, good. Interesting. In that case, today I will show you a strength that the physical flesh can never hope to withstand!”
