Li Chen shook his head and continued, "Although Lin Hua's spear skills are indeed superb, it's still Jianping's home turf right now."
One was a swordsman who only started practicing with a gun after awakening his abilities, while the other was a swordsman who had honed his Sword Dao for many years. With the accumulation of time, no matter what, Jianping would not be defeated.
Moreover, Lin Hua's abilities only had such a significant effect in the secret forest Secret Realm, but now, whether it's the Ruined City or the arena beneath his feet, both are made of special metal, so he can't unleash his abilities at all.
This comparison was already over the moment it began.
Time passed slowly.
The contrast between the two fighters on the ring quickly became apparent.
Lin Hua was panting heavily, his body covered in cuts and slashes, blood dripping from his clothes.
But his eyes remained sharp, and his imposing aura remained undiminished, like a ferocious wolf staring intently at its target.
"The final blow, Jianping, I'll accept it if you can catch it."
Jianping's eyes remained calm. He pursed his lips and said, "Lin Hua, you're quite good."
He wasn't good at expressing himself, but he could sense the indomitable spirit of the man in front of him.
The venue didn't defeat him; in fact, it made Lin Hua even more courageous in the fight—a spirit that many people don't possess.
Lin Hua grinned, and the flowers on his spear began to spread to the ground, rapidly growing.
The entire arena instantly transformed into a sea of flowers.
The students in the audience gasped in surprise. "You can use your abilities like that?"
Plants can actually grow on steel surfaces?
The two gazed at each other amidst the sea of flowers, just like they had on that day in the Secret Realm, amidst the lush vegetation.
This time, however, it's time for the two to settle their differences.
Using the same move, Lin Hua dragged his spear, the tip scraping against the ground and creating sparks that churned and ignited the entire sea of flowers, creating a dazzling spectacle.
Many trainees stood up; they knew the competition was about to end.
Jianping, who had been holding the sword with one hand, now used both hands, a gesture of acknowledgment towards his opponent.
He slightly raised his eyes, and a red light shone in them, causing the entire sword to be surrounded by an extremely sharp edge.
"Cut!!"
Lin Hua dragged his gun forward fearlessly, facing the incoming slashes without flinching, flames erupting from the gun.
An extremely terrifying force burst forth.
Boom!
A deafening roar erupted, and a strong gust of wind blew from the center of the arena outwards, causing many people to cover their eyes.
The wind was too strong, and it was accompanied by flames, making it extremely hot.
The petals are burning.
Holding the spear Lin Hua pointed it at Jianping brow, but did not pierce it.
He stood there motionless for a long time.
Jianping sheathed his sword, carried the box on his back, and walked off the arena.
Jianping won. Lin Hua had exhausted all his strength after thrusting out that spear, and he was just a hair's breadth away from victory, but he still fainted.
Di Li rushed onto the stage, looking somewhat worried.
However, looking at Lin Hua standing on the ring with his gun raised and his eyes closed, he smiled helplessly and murmured...
"I really thought you were dead."
"Let's go home."
Immediately, many people in the audience started to applaud.
This battle was truly spectacular; there were no scenes of abilities flying everywhere, but rather a simple contest between guns and swords.
Su Zhe called out.
"Brother Ping, you're the strongest!!"
"Come and fight if you dare!!"
Jianping glanced at him, then silently walked over and sat down next to Li Chen.
This battle gave him many feelings, at least it was different from fighting Eerie Monsters. After all, it lasted for a whole month, and he spent every day with Eerie Monsters. He almost felt like he had become a emotionless "Slaughterer".
Li Chen took a sip of fruit wine and said, "Sword Dao is indeed impressive."
He now possesses a Demon Blade himself, but its effectiveness in his hands is not very significant.
After all, his ability is Vector, and now he has to multitask, no, triple-task, while also training his physical body.
It's no exaggeration to say that not only Jianping and Su Zhe were unaware that his physical body had now reached the level of the Withered Sea Realm.
In just one month, he absorbed far too many Forbidden Substances, which amazed Gu Cheng. After all, it was quite remarkable that someone his age could train their physical body to such a degree.
At that moment, three more figures suddenly rushed onto the arena, each carrying their own weapon, clearly already prepared.
The revelry, spearheaded by Jianping, Ji Shao, and a few others, had fully commenced.
Li Chen, on the other hand, was quite relaxed and simply watched with amusement.
After all, his strength is comparable to Su Xian's. If it weren't for Ji Shao challenging him with anger, almost no one would be willing to challenge this freak.
They don't want to be tortured.
I don't know how much time has passed...
The sky gradually darkened, but the area around the arena remained incredibly lively, with challengers coming and going in waves. Even Luo Lin was pulled up to be challenged.
But Li Chen remained seated in the same place without moving; he was practically infested with worms.
Su Zhe, on the other hand, was extremely excited. Relying on his physical advantage, he directly wore down and killed one of his challengers.
Seeing his bruised and swollen face made Li Chen want to laugh.
Li Chen stood up, looked around, and prepared to leave.
He simply couldn't stand it anymore; in the end, he was the one who had been forgotten.
Gripping the Demon Blade, Li Chen looked at his right hand and murmured, "The Demon Blade?"
At that moment, the Forbidden Substance flowed from the tattoo on his right hand, enveloping the entire Demon Blade.
His idea was to absorb the Demon Blade directly into his body, just like Forbidden Substance that he could control at will.
In an instant~
Patterns began to appear on his arm, and the black wings that had previously spread out on his right hand began to close. A stream of black light exposed the Demon Blade, which, as if liquefied, began to be absorbed into his arm.
It was a success?
Li Chen was a little confused. It was a success?
Then he looked at the tattoo on his right hand, which had previously depicted a long sword inserted into the center of a wing. It had changed; now, an incomparably black Demon Blade stood upright on the back of his hand.
With a thought, he dripped a Forbidden Substance from his fingertip, and instantly the ground began to sizzle.
The pitch-black Demon Blade slowly rose from the Forbidden Substance.
It seems that he now has complete control over this Demon Blade, just like "ink."
The only difference is that "Ink" is made from pure Forbidden Substances, while this Demon Blade is made from special materials from the Gu Cheng combined with Forbidden Substances. They are different, yet very similar.
Li Chen gripped the Demon Blade once more, and this time the feeling was different; it was as if the blade was an integral part of him.
I don't know how powerful it is, or what its abilities are.
He still needs to find an opportunity to test it out; after all, it would be a waste if he didn't use such a fine weapon.
Li Chen was indeed a little reluctant to leave this place tomorrow.
Reluctant to part with the Forbidden Substances offered by those Eerie Monsters.
Once he goes inland, there won't be as many opportunities, which means his physical enhancement will have to be postponed.
Since we already have "ink"
"Then I'll call you 'Zhu'."
"You are his opposite, the blade that represents him walking in the light."
