Floating Villa was enormous, a two-hundred-square-kilometer stretch of mountainous terrain that gave them plenty of room to fight.
One was nitrogen grade, the other oxygen grade, and their battle was exceptionally fierce.
As Huang Ji approached, he could see thick smoke billowing over the floating island from far away. Explosions bloomed intermittently, their shock waves churning up surging clouds of dust. Occasionally, flashes of electricity and terrifying mushroom clouds shot skyward, interspersed with sudden, rapid volleys of fine laser beams firing into empty space.
"Hmm..." Huang Ji slowly moved his head aside.
A second later, a laser skimmed past his shoulder.
Although the battle was not over, Huang Ji already knew the outcome. Vita might have been a grade above the opponent, but energy output and actual combat were two different things.
If a hydrogen-grade fighter's full-power strike was defined as one point of energy, an oxygen-grade fighter had at least 128 points.
Vita was among the stronger oxygen-grade fighters, with an actual output of 205. In other words, releasing all that energy would produce the terrifying explosive force of 205 tons of TNT.
Lord Dou, by contrast, could only release the equivalent of a hundred tons of TNT. Vita outclassed him by more than two to one.
But real combat was not a game. They did not simply stand in position and exchange full-power attacks, with the loser dying...
The Bessel people and the Nomu Race both had a natural physical ceiling of nitrogen grade.
In other words, without any defensive measures, an attack carrying two points of energy could kill either of them.
That was where technique became crucial. Lord Dou's Polarization Shield, for instance, could defend against lasers. He also had many other skills and moves that strengthened his resistance to damage and neutralized his opponent's high-energy
