What surprised Allen was that Link's sharp sword strike was made with his left hand. Generally speaking, people were better at exerting force with their right hands. Even if there were fierce people who used dual blades, there would usually be a slight difference in the strength of their attacks. They were both weak on the left and strong on the right. It was rare for both hands to exert the same strength, or even the opposite.
However, Link's sword was clean and neat. It was a simple stab, but it felt as if it had pierced through the heavens. That was not a move that could be easily executed. Instead, it needed to be practiced thousands of times to be able to execute such a move.
Allen immediately spun around and avoided the stab. At the same time, he swept his saber towards Link's waist. There were also no unnecessary movements, but the saber momentum carried an undisguised killing intent! Link's left foot touched the ground and he leaped into the air. Allen's saber almost brushed past the soles of his feet. If he had been half a beat slower just now, the consequences would have been completely different.
Link narrowed his eyes slightly. Allen's saber technique was refined. For example, this saber strike just now completely abandoned any fancy tricks and only sought speed. This was a saber technique for killing people!
The two of them attacked each other and gained some understanding of each other.
Link landed, turned around, and sprinted. The sword in his left hand was almost weightless in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, it was like a machine gun that stabbed out countless times. Allen felt the starry sword light sprinkling down on his face, as dense as a shower of rain. In fact, the strong air pressure generated by the stab of the sword affected his eyesight, making it difficult for him to see Link's figure clearly.
Such a sword skill!
"Stars …" Metallon leaned forward slightly and said, "I haven't seen this move in a long time. It's just that I haven't activated my Origin Energy yet, and it was used by Link. If it was used by Archduke Reibis, it would be a moving scene of meteors filling the sky. "
The expressions of the surrounding people changed when they heard this, as if they were imagining what a spectacular scene it would be.
At this moment, although Allen's eyes were not as Metallon had said, he could see meteors filling the sky. However, starlight flickered and he shouted softly. His entire body suddenly gave off a fierce aura as Allen raised his saber and leaned forward. Completely disregarding the illusory starlight sword energy, it suddenly collided with Link's sword shadow. The long saber slashed out calmly, but it gave off an unyielding aura that could repel an army.
The starlight in the sky suddenly dispersed.
Link suddenly took three steps back. He finally raised his right hand, which he had never used before, and slashed at Allen's attack three times in a row. The first sword was deflected by the long saber, the second sword slightly stopped the saber's momentum, and the third sword caused the long saber to tilt to one side. Although it was only a hair's breadth away, it flashed past Link's side. The blade struck the ground, and a crack immediately appeared on the training ground. The crack extended out, forming a wound that was three meters long and more than ten centimeters deep.
Lynk looked at the scar and felt that it was an eyesore. Allen did not use any Origin Energy in this slash. In other words, this was the basic strength of his body. Link did not think that his body, which was not protected by armor, was as hard as the ground if he was able to create such a crack with just his basic strength. Of course, his protective Origin Energy was enough to turn a serious injury into a minor injury, but that way, he would lose.
Suddenly, he regretted it. He seemed to be too arrogant. Perhaps, as Allen said, it would be better to wear armor.
The two of them pulled apart again.
The series of attacks and defenses just now dazzled everyone. Whether it was the envoys of Adahua Planet or the soldiers of the Fierce Vulture, they all applauded the wonderful battle between the two of them. Mira put down her hand and said, "Young Master Lynk is indeed powerful. He has separated the offense and defense of the Starry Sword Technique, but he still has such a wonderful performance. It is truly impressive. There is also the human who fought against him. Although I am not a warrior, it is not bad to be able to force Young Master Lynk to defend. "
Metallon nodded and said, "Allen is indeed not bad. At his age, to be able to have such a deep understanding of saber techniques is already considered top-notch talent. However … "
"But what?" Mira asked.
"Nothing, they are going to have a second round." Metallon smiled.
Mira smiled but didn't say anything. It was obvious that Metallon hadn't finished speaking just now, so he didn't know what he wanted to say.
Looking at Allen, Metallon sighed in his heart. How could the Imperial Court not have any information about the person Lucy liked? Orfasis personally ordered someone to find out Allen's background. Allen's life had already been reported and presented in front of the Great Emperor's case. Metallon had also read the report. To be honest, Allen was very outstanding. Whether it was his own potential, talent, or sequence design talent, he was enough to squeeze into the ranks of geniuses. However, his body had been imprisoned by someone with Origin Energy. This had become a high mountain and dangerous peak that stood in front of his genius, causing the person who should have been dazzling to become dim and lightless.
As long as the Origin Energy was imprisoned, Allen's end point would be faster than Link's. His martial path would be even shorter, so short that even someone like Orfasis would sigh for him. However, it was precisely because of this that Orfasis did not immediately ask Lucy to come back. According to the Great Emperor's intentions, he wanted Lucy to see Allen's limits. He believed that when Lucy saw Allen's achievements, she would stop below Level 20, but she was also one of the mediocre mortals. His daughter would eventually wake up and know that Allen was not someone she could entrust her life to.
At that time, Lucy would return to his side.
Of course, Lucy wouldn't know about all of this, and Metallon wouldn't tell anyone. He and Orfasis were waiting, waiting for Allen to reach the end. Judging from all the signs, Allen had clearly reached the end.
He had been stuck at Level 19 for too long!
According to the information he had obtained before, as long as his potential was reasonable, Allen should have broken through long ago after experiencing so many battles. However, he was still lingering at Level 19. Even if his combat skills were exquisite, so what? No matter how exquisite his skills were, they couldn't make up for the gap in strength. Especially after pulling out a level of ten or eight, high-level experts could rely on their absolute strength to crush them.
This was also the reason why Metallon did not stop Link from continuing to challenge Allen. He thought that he could use this opportunity to let Allen and Lucy see the situation clearly.
Although Lucy would definitely find it hard to accept, time was enough to smooth everything out.
The old marquis's thoughts rose and fell, and he suddenly heard a loud cry in his ears. When he regained his senses, he saw two figures entangled in the arena.
Allen and Link's movements could already be said to be as fast as lightning, and both sides were fast. Allen's saber momentum was ferocious, and it was completely an offensive method. He abandoned all defenses and launched a fierce attack with an indomitable momentum. On the other hand, Link cautiously adopted a defensive posture. The longsword in his right hand continuously interweaved into a dense and complicated sword path, receiving all of Allen's attacks without leaking a single drop.
Whether it was offense or defense, the two of them were extremely fast. Among the spectators around the training ground, only experts like Metallon, Roddy, and Catherine could see the movements of the two of them clearly. Most of them could only see two figures moving at high speed. Loud sounds of metal clashing repeatedly rang out between them, and dazzling sparks flew out from the friction between them. When both sides' speeds were pushed to their peak, their figures had already become completely blurry. In everyone's eyes, there was only a dark afterimage left, and they were unable to distinguish between Allen and Link.
Such an intense battle made people almost forget to breathe.
Everything was always relative. If there was a high tide, there would be a low tide. There would be the waxing and waning of the moon, the rising and falling of the tide. Nothing could remain at the highest point forever. Even the gods would fall, and planets would be born and destroyed.
Allen and Link were naturally no exception.
After pushing the speed to its maximum, the dark afterimage gradually turned into two blurry figures, and then the figure became clearer and clearer. In the end, a golden spear rang out. The two of them suddenly separated, each holding a sword and pointing it at the other, but they both gasped for breath at the same time.
In this competition of Origin Energy, it was purely a competition of stamina and endurance. In the end, no one could suppress the other. However, this was only on the surface. For example, Metallon could tell that Link was actually taking advantage of him because he was defending more and attacking less. Allen, on the other hand, was purely attacking without restraint, and he consumed far more stamina than Link. In comparison, Allen was above Link in terms of stamina alone.
However, battles were not purely a competition of stamina, but strategies, reactions, Origin Energy, skills, and so on. Link's stamina was inferior to Allen's, but his exquisite defensive skills made up for it. Otherwise, Allen would have broken through the defensive line long ago and attacked the city. From this, it could be seen that the defensive skills of the Starry Sky Swordsmanship were truly powerful. If he were to change places with Allen, even Metallon wouldn't dare to say that he would be able to withstand Allen's ferocious attack under the same circumstances.
After all, the old marquis's battle skills were not good at defense.
"258 slashes" Link consumed less energy than Allen, and he adjusted his breathing a little faster. He said, "Just now, you made a total of 258 attacks, and it took less than a minute. In other words, you attacked at least four times per second. Although among the people I know, you're not the fastest with a knife. But at your level, you're the first to be able to use a saber so fast. "
"Allen, you're indeed powerful. I apologize for my previous arrogance. But I'm sorry, if you can't defeat me, I won't approve of you. Even if I can't take His Highness away today, I'll think of another way. "
Allen nodded, "I'll make you give up."
"Oh?" Link pushed his glasses and said, "Can you tell me where your confidence comes from?"
"It's very simple. I think I've already seen through your routine." Allen smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you've completely separated the two different methods of attack and defense in a swordsmanship. Your right-hand sword is responsible for defense, while your left-hand sword is specialized in attack. Generally speaking, people are used to attacking with their right hand, but you're the opposite. I think you're trying to make your opponent misjudge your routine. So you can get the effect of a surprise weapon, right? "
"And then?"
"Seeing that you can train your left hand to be as flexible as your right hand, I'll make a bold guess. In fact, attacking left and defending right is also to create an illusion. In fact, to you, there's no difference which hand is in charge of attack and defense? "
