Seeing that the murderous red Magi-breaker was about to charge towards him, Baiyi quickly waved his hand and said, "Erm... Please wait a minute..."
Immediately, the Magi-breaker stopped in his tracks and asked, "What's wrong? Is Master Hope trying to find a way to surrender to me? "
"I don't think so." Baiyi shook his head, "I really didn't expect you to be so powerful before this. Not to mention that you're wearing a full set of armor made of anti-magic metal. That's why I wasn't fully prepared. Look, don't you think I'm missing something?" As he said that, he spread out his empty hands, indicating that he was missing a weapon.
"Understood." The Magi-breaker nodded his head and turned to the referee at the side of the ring, "Looks like Master Hope is going to show off his defensive staff technique again. Can you help Master Hope find a staff?"
"It'd better be a sturdy one," Baiyi added.
Of course, the referee would not refuse such a request. Immediately, he took out a staff from his storage pouch and threw it to Baiyi. When he caught it, he saw that it was a hardwood staff with a thin layer of copper covering it. It must be the staff that the students usually used for practice.
Casually waving the staff around, Baiyi tested the feel of it and found that it was not bad. Then, he nodded to the referee and the Magi-breaker and said, "Alright, let's continue."
Just like that, the interrupted match resumed. Holding his staff, Baiyi engaged in a close-range battle with the Magi-breaker. With the help of his rich experience and all kinds of magic buffs, he even cast some small spells that were specially used to block the opponent's sight. For a moment, the two of them were evenly matched.
President Rhansey could not help but exclaim in admiration, "Mr. Hope is going to show everyone his last resort. He's going to fight the Magi-breaker in close combat! Of course, this is not really a solution. If it's not a desperate situation, I suggest that you guys don't do this. "
As soon as the words left his mouth, the audience could not help but burst into discussion. After all, Magi-breakers were a profession that excelled in close combat. Their unique Mana-breaking Chi prowess was like a deadly poison to sorcerers. As long as a sorcerer was injured and the Chi prowess entered their body, it would cause the entire body's Mana to be disrupted and the chaotic Mana would directly crush the sorcerer's body. That was why fighting a Magi-breaker in close combat was no different from suicide.
Even a Soul Armature was no exception. Even if it was not an instant death, a Soul Armature that had lost all its Mana would become a piece of scrap armor.
"Sis Tisdale, what should we do now? Mr. Hope seems to be in danger? " Mia, who had been observing the situation from the side, was on the verge of tears. Frantically, she grabbed the corner of Tisdale's shirt and asked anxiously.
Tisdale was not any better than her. Her hands were clasped tightly together in front of her chest as if she was praying for something. She was so anxious that she could barely speak. After hearing Mia's words, she forced herself to say, "It should be … Nothing will happen, right? Teacher is very strong. Erm... He'll be fine. I think so... "
Due to her anxiety, her words became incoherent. No matter how much she believed in Baiyi's strength, the person she was facing was a Magi-breaker! It was far more dangerous than fighting a warrior!
At that moment, Baiyi did not know that the two girls were worried about him. He continued to fight with the Magi-breaker. His performance was still not bad. On one hand, it was because he knew that he would not let the Magi-breaker touch him with his own strength. On the other hand, even if his body was injected with Mana-breaking Chi prowess, it would not be a problem at all. That level of Chi prowess was not a threat to his real strength and it would not be able to dispel the connection between him and the Soul Armature.
The more relaxed the Magi-breaker was, the more agile and nimble he became. The two of them had been fighting for a while now. The Magi-breaker had used all kinds of fancy and not-so-fancy moves, but none of them could defeat Baiyi. The Magi-breaker wanted to use the Chi Burst technique, but he could not keep up with Baiyi's speed. Even in terms of strength, he was slightly weaker.
After all, Baiyi was blessed with all kinds of Enhancement Spells. In that state, he could even fight with the Legendary Level warrior from the Dole family. Since the Magi-breaker could not touch him, naturally, he could not dispel the Chi prowess. Instead, Baiyi took advantage of the opening and hit his body a few times. Some of the weaker parts of the armor were even dented.
"Oh oh oh! Looks like I have to take back what I said earlier. I really did not expect Master Hope to have such a high level of attainment in the Defensive Staff Technique! I can't believe that you're not at a disadvantage at all! " President Rhansey opened his mouth again, "Speaking of the Defensive Staff Technique, in fact, it has existed for a long time in history. At that time, the Defensive Staff Technique was not only used as an elective course to strengthen the body but it was also an important technique that every sorcerer must master! This is a genuine close-combat martial skill! "
"In that ancient era, there were not as many spells as there are now. Coupled with the fact that the academic exchange was not smooth, the number of spells that a sorcerer could learn was actually very little. When they encountered some problems that they could not solve with magic, they would choose to use the Defensive Staff Technique to fight hand-to-hand. And now, with the popularization of runes and the protection and promotion of the patent by the Sorcerer's Association, every sorcerer can learn a lot of spells and it's enough to deal with any situation. Because of that, the Defensive Staff Technique has gradually declined. "
"And today, Master Hope has once again shown us the ingenuity of the Defensive Staff Technique. Whether it's practical or not, I think we should applaud the wisdom of our predecessors!" The president said as he took the lead to applaud. Immediately, another round of applause rang out from the audience.
"Heh! Master Hope is really popular! Even I'm a little jealous now! "The red Soul Armature whispered into Baiyi's ear as he walked past him.
"Phew! The applause is for both of us at the same time!" Baiyi replied. At the same time, he raised his staff to block a heavy slash from his opponent. Because the position of the block happened to be at the end of the long blade, the part where the force was the lightest, even if it was an ordinary hardwood staff, it was not directly cut into two by the seemingly sharp long blade.
"Alright, it's about time for me to surrender," Baiyi replied. He did not dislike this rather graceful opponent. Besides, it was not an important match anyway. Surrendering at this time would not be a problem for him so there was no need for him to continue the fight.
Who would have thought that the Magi-breaker who had been encouraging him to surrender would shake his head forcefully and say, "No, no, no! Now is not the time …" As he said that, he took a few steps back, taking the initiative to put some distance between the two of them. Then, he continued, "Master Hope, you've already shown us your strength and standard. Whether it's magic, martial arts, or even your hand-to-hand combat experience and skills, they are all outstanding! So, please allow me to apologize to you first!" As he said that, he actually bowed down to Baiyi in a graceful manner.
"I've really underestimated your strength in the beginning. I've even repeatedly asked you to surrender and such impolite things like that. But now, I have to show you my most powerful technique!" As he said that, he placed his hand on the surface of the long blade and slowly drew a line from the hilt to the tip of the blade. Following his movement, the entire blade was covered by the fiery red Mana-break Chi.
"Wow, it's the elemental technique of a Northern warrior!" Baiyi exclaimed. He had used it once when he was fighting against Undine. He did not expect that the Magi-breaker in front of him would know it as well.
"It's not that simple, you know! This is an ultimate technique that I've created myself. I've only used it once in my life, and with it, I managed to kill a Holy-level sorcerer. But don't you worry, I will show you mercy. The reason I'm using this technique is to show my respect to you, "the Magi-breaker said solemnly.
Baiyi's heart skipped a beat. This Magi-breaker was obviously much more powerful than the average Magi-breaker or even the Anti-Sorcerer. Whether it was the burst of Chi or the secret technique that he was about to use, it was clear that his strength was not limited to the Legendary Level like the average Magi-breaker. Otherwise, he would not have been able to become a Soul Armature.
Therefore, when faced with this powerhouse who was serious, Baiyi could not help but feel a surge of heroism in his heart. At once, he gave up the idea of surrendering. Standing up straight, he said generously, "Yes, please."
"Be careful!" The Magi-breaker said before he disappeared into thin air.
"It's the Dance of the Shadow!" The Assassin, who had been observing the situation in the Void, immediately warned. But before she could open her mouth, Baiyi's body had already reacted accordingly. His body dodged to the side, avoiding a knife that was coming from the side. At the same time, he quickly turned around and raised his hardwood staff to block the attack that was coming from his back.
Then, the Magi-breaker's silhouettes appeared one after another from all angles around Baiyi. Every attack was aimed at the most tricky and unpredictable angle.
However, every attack was blocked by Baiyi. Even though the hardwood staff was already riddled with scratches because of the forceful blocking, his body was still not hit even once.
"A weakened version of the Dance of the Shadow? He hasn't mastered it yet. Looks like he's an assassin who has betrayed the Umbra." The Assassin commented in the Void, "If it's only at this level, it won't be able to do anything to Sir Hope."
"It's not that simple..." Baiyi replied while dodging the opponent's attack, "Look around me..."
It turned out that every time the opponent's attack seemed to have missed or been blocked, there was actually a thread that was invisible to the naked eye. It was a very thin thread of Chi Prowess that was pulled to form a large net that tightly wrapped around Baiyi!
