The twelfth day.
Meng Jin fought again, and lost again.
His opponent did not have the light attribute, nor was he among the top few, but Meng Jin still lost.
Yet he felt delighted, because he could sense that winning was possible.
"If I'd just been a little more careful at that moment..." In his room, Meng Jin reviewed the fight.
That opponent had not been as powerful as the previous two, but he had still been among the top 1,280 from the beginning.
The gap between Meng Jin and him remained vast, but there was hope of victory.
After finishing his review, he entered his personal space in the Light Void Realm and chose to challenge Dongguan.
Room 185.
Dongguan was reading secret manuals in his virtual personal space.
A challenge letter appeared before him.
Challenger: Meng Jin.
Dongguan accepted the challenge.
The setting was a grassland, where the two faced each other from afar.
Two streaks of light rapidly closed in, just as true opponents would.
Bang! Bang, bang!
Meng Jin swung his battle-axe from every angle, but Dongguan blocked each strike with his saber.
Even without using a domain, the gap between Dongguan and Meng Jin remained enormous.
After comprehending a domain and a law, even without using them directly, one's fighting style had long since changed. Compared to before, it was an entirely different realm.
Dongguan abruptly tightened his grip on his saber, transmitting a vibrating force. He slashed, white light flashed, and Meng Jin's battle-axe was knocked upward.
Then Dongguan struck Meng Jin's shoulder with his free left hand, releasing a jolt of force.
The battle-axe slipped involuntarily from Meng Jin's grasp.
The two separated.
"I lost." Meng Jin lowered his head, but did not leave the space.
He picked up his battle-axe again.
