Compared to being an assassin, Wang Zhong was still more fond of being a soldier. The feeling of punching flesh, as well as the memory of receiving heavy blows from his opponent, was undoubtedly more suitable for a real man than an assassin who would slit his own throat the moment he moved.
This was a good opponent. His speed and strength were both above average. His understanding of close combat wasn't just limited to the way of the sword, and his close combat techniques were extremely outstanding. Furthermore, his control over his strength could be said to be perfect. Being able to unleash a strength of 200 grassos was just the standard for a soldier of this realm. The crux of the matter was control! You had to use all of your strength to achieve this. Clearly, there was a world of difference when compared to someone who could do it with a wave of his hand.
Neither of them used any combat techniques. The higher the level of a fight, the more importance one would place on one's fundamentals. This wasn't just a process of probing one's opponent, but also a form of stable defence. As long as it was a combat technique, regardless of how strong or famous it was, it would definitely have its flaws. Admittedly, it would be amazing if used properly. However, if the opponent was able to grab hold of the opportunity, it would be like a ghost.
Ding!
The 2 swords collided once again. This time, both of them had used both hands, causing the massive rebounding force to push both of them back a few metres.
Ta ta … the 2 of them had already stabilised their retreating figures. Although the close combat of a soldier would consume more of their stamina, the 2 of them clearly belonged to the category of vicious people with unlimited stamina. The intense and intense hand-to-hand combat was completely unable to cause them to feel the slightest bit of exhaustion.
Both of them were breathing very steadily.
However, Wind God, as well as some of the more observant members of the audience, immediately noticed that Adam had unexpectedly taken half a step back!
Although this small difference wasn't obvious in an intense fight, and could even be said to be inconsequential to the overall situation, Wind God couldn't help but open his mouth wide, forgetting to comment on the fight.
Both parties clearly hadn't erupted to their limits, yet had controlled their strength to a certain degree. At this moment, this small detail could very well reflect the true difference in strength.
This Wang Zhong … exactly who the hell was he?
Was Tianjing trying to defy the heavens? Could it be that he really had the ability to suppress Adam with his runic sword?
It had to be said that Wind God's heart was slightly shaken at this instant, mainly due to the shadow that Wang Zhong had left in his heart in the previous match.
It wasn't that he hadn't seen people oscillating between assassin and soldier, or people who were proficient in both daggers and runic swords. However, 'proficient in both' definitely meant that they weren't good! Of course, All-Mouthy King in the OP was an exception. However, not everyone was All-Mouthy King!
However, Wang Zhong had actually managed to do it! Being able to use a dagger to face off against Eddie, before using a runic sword to face off against Adam, and even surpass him by half a notch! This was definitely not a level that could be summed up with the words' both very good '!
A faint smile appeared on Adam's face. Even with Wind God's gaze, he was able to sense it. Being a part of the situation, he was able to sense it even more clearly.
This Wang Zhong wasn't using his runic sword to act pretentious. Only by fighting him head-on would one understand exactly how terrifying this fellow's close combat skills had reached.
Strength, speed, reaction, control over Soul Power, and even the feeling he had towards his aura, Wang Zhong belonged to the top of the Casted Soul Stage experts that Adam had seen before!
If he was still young and full of vigor one or two years ago, he might have chosen to compete with him in terms of skill, not to be outdone. However, under the deliberate guidance of his family in the past two years, he had long learned to put aside the boring heart of comparison and make the right choice at the right time.
Whoosh!
Adam Galen's body leaned slightly to the left. Placing his left hand behind his back, he took half a step forward with his right foot. At the same time, with a slight twist of his right wrist, the unique thin sword drew a half circle in the air, before coming to rest vertically before his chest.
It was a peculiar posture, yet Wang Zhong could feel that his opponent's aura had abruptly changed.
If the previous Adam Galen was reserved and abstruse, at this moment, he was just like a treasured sword that had been unsheathed, revealing its sharpness in an instant!
Not only did his aura change, his skin had also turned slightly red, while ripples of air rose from his feet, appearing just like rings of air revolving around him!
"Oh my god! What's that?"
"Is that Adam's Soul Power?"
Wang Zhong started to grow cautious.
Soul Power by itself was invisible and formless. However, that was due to it being too thin, just like air, unable to be seen or touched. However, once Soul Power was condensed to a certain level, it would be able to be seen by the human eye.
The characteristics of everyone's Soul Power weren't exactly the same. For example, the frequency, irritation or calmness of one's Soul Power. What Adam had displayed was an incomparable stability. Being able to form such orderly and orderly rings of Soul Power from his body showed that not only was his Soul Power sufficiently strong, his control over it had already reached the point of perfection!
Clearly, his opponent wasn't planning to play slowly with him. He was definitely a rational type of captain, with everything he did for the sake of obtaining victory. His strength had already been condensed to its peak, with the next move that would determine victory or defeat.
Both of them stared tightly at each other. Although they did not move a single inch, their strength had already been condensed to its peak, with the only thing they were waiting for was the opportunity to take action!
As their auras condensed, fighting intent surged out, it appeared as though there were sparks flying in the air as their gazes collided, appearing as though they had already exchanged over a dozen blows. Nevertheless, the entire arena remained silent!
One could imagine that the moment their attacks started, it would definitely be as powerful as a thunderbolt!
The audience watching through the Skylink weren't able to feel this. However, the audience in the arena, including Wind God on the podium, were already so nervous that they couldn't utter a single word. The entire arena was deathly silent, as everyone was intimidated by the aura radiating from the 2. Their heartbeats started to increase, while their mental state grew increasingly tense. Their mouths were dry from waiting, yet no one remembered to drink a mouthful of water, as they were afraid that they would miss the instant the duel between the 2 would begin!
Ding ~
The sound of a metal kettle falling to the ground in the front row broke the silent equilibrium of the arena. In the vast arena, such a sound should have been utterly inaudible. However, at this moment, it appeared incomparably ear-piercing within the silent arena.
Quite a few people's taut nerves were subconsciously attracted by it, causing them to turn their heads slightly.
However, just at this moment, Adam's gaze suddenly retracted!
Now's the time!
Hurricane Thrust!
Most of the time, the usual description of someone transforming into a lightning-like figure during a thrust was a rather exaggerated description. However, at this moment, Adam appeared to have truly transformed into a bolt of lightning!
The speed of his thrust was akin to a bolt of lightning. However, what was even more frightening was the Soul Power accumulated on his rapier, causing it to explode out with a wide sword beam! This caused his entire being to appear just like a howling comet with a long tail trailing behind it as he rushed straight towards Wang Zhong!
Such a fast speed!
Ding!
A loud bang rang out, as the runic sword and rapier collided. Wang Zhong could feel an incomparably terrifying power radiating from his opponent's rapier, shaking his wrist to the point of turning slightly numb.
A mere rapier that was as thin as a needle was actually able to erupt with such tyrannical power!
