A Stunning Debut
"Laugh----!"
The sound of a sharp dagger slicing through the air echoed all around.
The bright blade appeared without any warning, like a cold glint that flashed and disappeared in the air, slashing towards the school badge in front of Ardy.
"Clang—!"
The next second, intense sparks and a crisp clanging sound erupted simultaneously.
However, it wasn't the sound of Fang Li's dagger cutting through the school badge, but rather the sound of it hitting a piece of metal.
That was the metal on Ardy's body.
At the critical moment, Ardy suddenly stepped back, deflecting the blade's slash and causing the sharp dagger to land on Ardy's side, sparking intensely.
However, this hasty retreat caused Ardy to lose his balance.
This is a huge flaw.
Under such circumstances, Ardy had no chance of evading the incoming attacks.
Fang Li's eyes flashed, and he suddenly reversed his grip on the dagger, spun around, and thrust it fiercely towards Ardy as if delivering a reverse elbow strike.
The target remains the school badge on Ardy's body.
"Bang----!"
Just as Fang Li's dagger was about to strike the school badge in front of Ardy, a gunshot suddenly rang out from Fang Li's side.
The bullet swept through the air and hurtled towards Fang Li.
"Clang—!"
Fang Li quickly withdrew his dagger, deflected the incoming bullets, and turned to look at his side.
There, Limshi held a gun-shaped Imperial Armament, its muzzle pointed in Fang Li's direction.
"Bang bang bang—!"
Amidst the gunfire, three bullets formed from the Omni-element burst forth from the muzzle, forming a triangle that aimed at Fang Li's chest, abdomen, and thigh respectively.
Fang Li's figure suddenly froze, as if ignoring inertia, allowing three bullets to graze his front and land in empty space before flying past.
By this time, Ardy had regained his footing.
"Buzz—!"
The sound of the air vibrating resounded.
That was the sound stirred up by the convergence of the Omni-element.
Ardy raised one hand high, allowing the Omni-element to gather in his hand and gradually condense into a giant hammer as tall as himself. With a whistling wind, he swung it down fiercely.
"Thump—!"
The heavy, muffled thud spread out like an explosion.
The giant hammer slammed heavily onto the ground, shattering the floor and sending rocks and dust flying in all directions amidst the shockwave.
However, since the giant hammer landed on the ground, it proved that it had not hit its target.
Fang Li had already flashed away like a flash of light, returning to his original spot shortly afterward and landing next to Cecily.
The entire room fell silent.
Ardy speechless, still in the stance of swinging the giant hammer.
Limshi remained silent, her gun still raised.
In the audience, each spectator stared wide-eyed, and after a long silence, suddenly erupted in a thunderous cheer.
Even the live broadcast in the studio blared loudly, the sound filled with excitement.
"That's amazing! Absolutely amazing! I never expected that Fang Li, who hadn't made a move until now, would be so powerful! He almost broke through the formation of Ardy and Limshi with just one move!"
"Such speed! That speed is far more terrifying than Zhao Hufeng's three years ago! As expected of someone allowed to partner with the second disciple of ' Myriad Heavenly Net '! He's truly made a name for himself!"
A huge spatial window suspended above the stage began to replay the previous attack and defense, and performed a slow-motion reenactment, so that all the audience members present could understand what had just happened.
A huge cheer erupted like a tidal wave, rushing upwards and resounding throughout the entire stage.
As a result, only Fang Li, holding a sharp dagger, looked ahead and said with some curiosity, "Didn't we say we wouldn't attack within a minute?"
In an attempt to force Fangli to Fang Li, both Ardy and Limshi launched attacks.
And this process takes less than three seconds.
The minute that Ardy declared was broken before even three seconds had passed.
"Haha... haha... hahahaha!"
Ardy was holding a giant hammer, suddenly burst into laughter.
"Good! That's excellent! So that's how it is! This is the opponent that Master specifically instructed us to be wary of? He's indeed very strong!"
Unlike Ardy, who burst into laughter, Limshi simply stared at Fang Li, her expression unchanged, but a serious glint appeared in her eyes.
Clearly, Fang Li's performance greatly exceeded the expectations of these two mimics.
"That speed was unprecedented, even in our database!" Ardy raised his giant hammer high, pointed it at Fang Li, and said, "In that case, let's retract our earlier declaration and unleash our full power to meet this attack!"
Ardy's words finally made Cecily laugh.
"It should have been done a long time ago!"
As she said this, Cecily flicked her hand, and suddenly a series of talismans appeared between her fingers, which she threw out like hidden weapons.
"Hurry, hurry, as the law commands! Imperial decree!"
With a hand gesture and a command from Cecily, talismans suddenly flew up, hovering in the void like troops in formation. Then, they burst forth with dazzling lightning, streaks of lightning shooting out and covering the sky and the ground ahead.
"Danger!"
"...!"
Ardy and Limshi reacted in time; one retreated rapidly, while the other's flight device emitted a large amount of jet light and soared into the sky.
"Bang bang bang bang bang—!"
A barrage of lightning bolts suddenly rained down on the stage, completely engulfing it, shattering the ground, tearing open the floorboards, and causing a violent explosion as if by a sudden natural disaster.
In an instant, lightning crackled and surged across the stage, resembling a battlefield under artillery fire, creating an exceptionally shocking scene.
Leaving aside Limshi who had taken to mid-air, Ardy was retreating rapidly while simultaneously conjuring a barrier of light in front of him to block the incoming lightning and impact.
"Smack..."
Just then, a soft thud sounded, clearly reaching Ardy's ears.
"Could it be...!" Ardy suddenly turned his head and looked behind him.
There, a figure darted forward, a cold smile on his face, his dagger flashing as he slashed towards Ardy.
The speed was astonishing.
Ardy had just deployed a defensive barrier in front of him, was no longer able to deploy another one.
At that moment, Ardy could only raise the giant hammer in his hand.
"Clang—!"
In the midst of the intense friction, the dagger and the giant hammer collided violently.
