Locked on by a Knight's Kick? Don't Worry, My Stats Are High, and I Can Use Defense Manifestation!

Although Vareshya looked a little airheaded.

Her battle instincts were exceptionally sharp.

She did not dare slack off any longer.

That last attack had made her realize the vast gap between their strength.

Mu Yang's strength was probably on par with the Pyro Archon's.

As for why it was not apparent, he had likely used some technique to conceal it.

Instructor Iansan had told her to give it her all.

She had probably known of Mu Yang's terrifying strength from the start.

Vareshya had still been too careless.

When facing her fellow tribespeople and friends,

Vareshya always hesitated.

She worried about hurting them.

That very kindness was why she had never placed in the Sacred Fire Night Pilgrimage.

Today's challenge had originally only been a playful spar.

But Vareshya was a proud Natlan warrior at heart.

When Mu Yang casually raised a hand and blocked her attack,

she felt her heart tighten.

Whether it was shame or the desire to fight, even Vareshya could not tell.

Right now, she only wanted to give the young man before her an all-out kick!

Seeing Vareshya begin to get serious, Mu Yang

made another inviting gesture.

It showed that he was ready.

Vareshya recalled her past training.

She pushed the power of lightning to its limit.

Her footwork became even more violent than her usual shuttle runs.

"I've never seen Vareshya this serious before."

"Instructor Iansan, is it really alright for you to be so relaxed? That person is your friend, isn't he?"

Frightened by Vareshya's overwhelming aura, the spectators backed away and said,

"Will that young man be alright...?"

"Forget about pure defense. I'm standing this far away, and I'm still afraid of getting caught in it..."

At this moment, even the chief could not help breaking out in a cold sweat.
