Abel gently placed the chain in the elf girl's hand and said softly, "Stand aside. Be careful not to hurt yourself."
The elf girl seemed to feel his kindness, but she didn't understand his words. Her expression calmed down a little, but she didn't move her feet.
Abel helplessly stepped forward and gently brought the elf girl to the side of the auction stage. He then kicked the trembling guard off the stage.
Abel's attitude infuriated the High Knight. The High Knight rushed forward and grabbed Abel's chest. His speed was so fast that his hand reached Abel's chest in the blink of an eye. Abel instinctively reached out with his left hand to grab the incoming hand. He then turned his body slightly and lightly pulled the High Knight back with his left hand.
The High Knight slid on the ground for four meters without any injury. Abel was just borrowing the force of the fall. When the High Knight got up from the ground, he had already noticed that his opponent wasn't an ordinary person. The fact that his casual grab was immediately countered showed that his opponent was very experienced.
The High Knight gradually calmed down and began to treat Abel as a real opponent. The High Knight carefully took a step forward. This was the basic footwork of a Knight. He waved his arms in an attempt to force Abel back. Abel's back was the auction stage. As long as Abel retreated, he would be blocked by the stage behind him. Then, Abel wouldn't be able to dodge the High Knight's full attack.
Of course, Abel wouldn't do as the High Knight expected. The combat training in his previous life allowed him to easily find the flaw in the High Knight's attack. The footwork that was used to attack with weapons was useless in close combat. When the High Knight's arms came down on Abel, Abel bent his knees and closed in on the High Knight. At this time, Abel didn't attack. Instead, he turned around and appeared behind the High Knight.
Most of the guests in the auction had already recovered from the shock. They saw Abel blocking the High Elf. But since the High Elf didn't intend to hurt the guests and only wanted to take the elf away, the guests didn't hurry to leave. They continued to watch the rare battle between two masters.
Everything happened so fast that before most of the guests could see it clearly, the troublemaker had already slipped out. The second round of the battle had just begun, and the person who was fighting the troublemaker had somehow appeared behind the troublemaker in the blink of an eye. Everything happened so fast that when the guests were still in shock, Abel had already begun to attack.
Abel used a technique called the German Bridge Suplex. It was a powerful killing move in professional wrestling. He bent his knees and grabbed the High Knight's waist. Then, he straightened his legs and fell backwards. His body was curved like an arch bridge. The High Knight who was caught in the air didn't seem to understand what was happening. He let out a scream, followed by a loud bang.
Boom! The High Knight's head hit the ground. He seemed to be in a daze from the fall. But the High Knight's strong body allowed him to stand up quickly. He kept shaking his head, trying to shake off the dizziness in his head.
Abel didn't attack this time. Such a good opponent made him relive the feeling of teaching students in the gym in his previous life.
"I want you to die!" The High Knight yelled. He tore off the robe on his body, revealing a strong body that even the luxurious clothes couldn't cover. This was a middle-aged Knight. His face was distorted due to anger. Of course, it was possible that his face was injured from the German Bridge Suplex, but this didn't affect the guests' recognition of this Knight.
"It's the High Knight of Lodney!"
"My God, how could it be him?"
"I didn't expect the High Knight of Lodney to be this kind of person!"
The guests recognized this Knight. He was a High Knight of Harvest City's Palace. He was a subordinate of Viscount Dickens. Since he had no title and no land, a High Knight like him could only seek help from the nobles in order to achieve a breakthrough in the future.
Seeing that the guests had recognized him, the High Knight of Lodney didn't care about these trivial matters. He looked at Abel and said, "I, the High Knight of Lodney, formally challenge you to a duel. Please show your true face!"
Abel looked at the High Knight of Lodney like he was an idiot. No one wanted to reveal their identity in a place like this, but this High Knight in front of him wanted him to reveal his identity as well.
Applying for a duel was a way for nobles or Knight to resolve conflicts. However, this method was mainly used between nobles of the same rank, or a high ranking noble to a low ranking noble. After a duel was proposed, the person being challenged should be given time to prepare and find a middleman before the duel could begin.
Now, the High Knight of Lodney wanted Abel to show his true face. If he couldn't do it now, he could retaliate later.
"You have no right to apply for a duel with me because you have violated the Knight's Law!" Abel's voice was very clear in the hall. All the nobles present understood that this was also a Knight, and his status was even higher than the High Knight of Lodney. Therefore, the High Knight of Lodney had no right to apply for a duel, and because of the High Knight of Lodney's various actions, the High Knight of Lodney had violated the Knight's Law.
If Abel used his real identity to make this judgment, then the High Knight in front of him would not be able to prove his innocence, and he would most likely be investigated by the noble arbitration tribunal.
The High Knight of Lodney in front of Abel of course understood this. Although Abel did not reveal his identity, he had already shown his nobility. Normally, in this kind of situation, the High Knight of Lodney would propose a solution. It was originally a very small conflict.
However, this was a black auction hall. The High Knight of Lodney did not believe that there would be a noble knight here. He had just been attacked by Abel, so he was eager to regain his dignity. He shouted, "How dare you insult me! Let me see your true face!"
The High Knight of Lodney suddenly let out a roar and ignited his combat qi. White combat qi covered his whole body. All the guests under the stage were scared and took a few steps back. This was Harvest City, and a Knight of Lodney dared to ignite his combat qi!
The High Knight of Lodney was also betting. He believed that no one would report him to the sheriff for using combat qi here. On top of that, he was a High Knight. As long as the person in front of him was not a noble, then everything would be fine.
"How dare you use combat qi in front of a noble!" After Abel became a junior Knight, he was told by the Lord Marshall that the law forbade him from using combat qi in the city, especially in front of nobles.
Because combat qi was too powerful, and not every noble was a powerful Knight, these rules were made to protect the nobles' interests. These rules had been protecting the nobles' rights for countless years.
At this point, the High Knight of Lodney began to suspect that the person in front of him was really a Knight. Abel's bearing and calmness in front of a powerful High Knight proved his suspicion.
The High Knight of Lodney could no longer stop his attack, but he didn't dare to hurt Abel. Instead, he reached out his combat qi covered hand towards Abel. He wanted to tear off Abel's robe and see which noble was in front of him.
Seeing the hand full of combat qi reaching towards him, Abel's eyes flashed with a cold light. He hadn't even used his combat qi yet, and the High Combat Qi of the High Knight of Lodney was extremely deadly to ordinary people without combat qi. The terrifying corrosive and violent attack of combat qi could kill any ordinary person in an instant.
At this point, the High Knight of Lodney didn't care how powerful Abel's technique was. No matter how powerful it was, it was useless in front of absolute strength. Abel hadn't even used his combat qi yet, so it was possible that he was just an apprentice Knight who hadn't formed a Qi core yet. This explained why Abel was so proficient in close combat.
