As a disciple of a Divine level expert, although Hoult's performance in the Regional Selection over the past few days was slightly worse than Fang Xingjian's, he had still been brilliant and no one could underestimate him. In fact, after Fang Xingjian had killed Meng Hao with a single sword attack, he had become the only one who could compete with Fang Xingjian for the title of Regional Champion.
Right now, Hoult's aura was so strong that no one, other than Fang Xingjian, would be able to withstand it.
Therefore, in order to weaken Hoult's aura, Rota had chosen to engage in a verbal confrontation.
However, after hearing Rota's words, Hoult was not infuriated. He merely said calmly, "You have the heart of a Knight who is fearless of challenges and moves forward courageously. You're also able to achieve your goals through unscrupulous means. You're truly a genius in battle. "However, I'm not interested in sparring with you right now. My current interest is …"
With that, he turned his head, his gaze fixed in Fang Xingjian's direction. Fang Xingjian seemed to not have noticed anything. His eyes were tightly shut, and he continued to cultivate his martial arts.
Taking advantage of the moment Hoult turned his head, the longspear in Rota's hand left her hand. The Void Penetrative Divine Spear was activated, covering a distance of several tens of meters. With an extremely powerful piercing force, the twisting force struck Hoult's face.
'I've done it!'
Feeling the sensation in her hand, Rota was overjoyed.
'To think that he would be so careless, to think that he would be distracted in the arena battle …'
Just as these thoughts flashed through Rota's mind, she suddenly let out a stifled snort and retreated seven steps before coming to a stop.
However, the longspear in her hand was trembling non-stop. It was obvious that it had been rebounded by a huge force earlier.
'How is this possible? I've clearly struck his face. No matter how strong he is, it's impossible for him to use the surface of his Reduced Force Field to block my stab. '
Rota looked at Hoult's face, and the next moment, her pupils contracted. It was because she saw that his face, neck, and other parts of his body that were exposed were flashing with starlight. Under the sunlight, they were as beautiful as diamonds.
"Astral Tempest?"
Hoult said calmly, "That's right. My skin is protected by a layer of Astral Tempest. With your strength and Killing technique, it seems that there's no way for you to break through this layer of defense of mine. It's better for you to go down by yourself."
Rota did not say anything, but his expression turned even more solemn. Hoult looked at him and shook his head. Countless rays of silver light were emitted from his body, and the Astral Storm was activated.
Seeing the countless flickering lights surrounding her, Rota suddenly took three steps back and lightly leaped out of the arena.
Seeing Hoult's surprised expression, Rota smiled and said, "I'm not a fool. Since I can't even break through your Astral Tempest, I naturally won't continue to pester you. Hmph, I'll be waiting to see your battle with Fang Xingjian."
With that, she gracefully exited the stage and left.
Not only was she able to stand up under my immense pressure, she was also able to leave without being affected by her reputation in front of so many people. Hoult smiled as he looked at Rota's back. "What an interesting lady."
At this point, the top four in the arena battle had finally been decided.
They were Fang Xingjian, Anderson, Wei Leng, and Hoult. After Fang Xingjian's recuperation and the time for the arena battle, one hour had finally passed, and he once again had the chance to use Terra Ingurgitation.
Next would be Fang Xingjian versus Anderson, and Wei Leng versus Hoult. The victors of these two matches would then fight for the championship.
Finally, it was time for the top four, and the atmosphere became even more heated. The final four placings would affect the academy's budget of several hundred thousand.
Moreover, all the gambling stalls in the Great Western City were calculating crazily, and countless people were placing bets everywhere. This caused the bets for the Regional Selection in the entire Great Western City to reach over a million gold coins.
With so much money added up, it was enough to affect the entire situation in the Great Western Region.
Moreover, the reward for the champion was a full set of level 29 Superior Divine Weapon.
Just one look at Hoult's level 29 Superior Divine Weapon, Crimson Fire. How powerful would a full set of level 29 Superior Divine Weapon be?
Countless passionate gazes looked at the four of them, mixed with various emotions. The top four had finally begun.
However, just as Fang Xingjian was waiting for the battle to begin, a maid walked up to him and passed him a towel and water.
However, when he scanned the tray with his Heaven's Perception, he was slightly stunned.
There was a sentence written in ink on it.
"If you're willing to lose the next match, we're willing to offer you thirty thousand gold."
Although there was no threat in the words, thirty thousand gold was a very heavy sum. Even for a Conferred Knight, it was a huge sum of money, not to mention not having to worry about food and drink. It could even be used to purchase a Superior Divine Weapon.
However, how could Fang Xingjian possibly care about him? How could thirty thousand gold be compared to the reward for the Regional Champion? He ignored it and waited quietly for the competition to begin.
Finally, the battle for the top four officially began. Anderson's silhouette flashed, and he rushed up to the arena impatiently, looking at Fang Xingjian with a battle intent.
Compared to Anderson's speed, Fang Xingjian only arrived in the arena after a few flashes. 'Looking' at Anderson and the surroundings, Fang Xingjian said calmly, "The environment here is not suitable for your battle style."
How could Anderson possibly accept Fang Xingjian's kindness? He was the kind of person who would be stubborn even when facing death. He said directly, "Hmph, I'll just use 80% of my strength to deal with you guys."
Fang Xingjian shook his head and said, "It'll be more interesting if I use 100% of my strength."
Before Anderson could understand what Fang Xingjian meant, under his astonished gaze, Fang Xingjian casually took a few steps forward and suddenly stopped in front of a point. He then lifted his right leg lightly and stomped down fiercely at a speed as fast as a thunderbolt.
With an explosive rumble, it was as if a shocking thunderbolt had descended from the sky. Violent dust and smoke soared up, and the entire arena instantly shattered into pieces, turning into countless shattered rocks that soared up into the sky.
Anderson, who was in the distance, felt his heart palpitate. In that instant, he felt as if he was facing a natural disaster.
Most of the arena's structure had turned into huge rocks that were as tall as one or two people and a few meters long. They were like pieces of strange rocks that pierced into the sky.
Fang Xingjian's foot landed on the arena's weak point, and the ferocious force was transmitted into the arena, exploding out. It was as if the entire world had been changed with a single stomp, turning the entire arena into a stone forest.
With such a large area of stone forest, there were all sorts of shadows, blind spots, gaps between the rocks, and strange stone pillars. It was the Shadow Death God's favorite location for street battles and assassinations.
It was only then that Fang Xingjian's voice rang out calmly, "With this, you'll be able to go all out."
"Go ahead and make your move. If I were to make my move first, you wouldn't have the chance to do so. It wasn't easy for you to come to the arena of the Regional Selection. You should at least display your battle prowess before you can go back with all your heart."
Fang Xingjian's series of actions, the instantaneous kick and explosive power, as well as the exhaustion of his stamina and vital energy, were all to allow Anderson to go all out.
