"By the way, Charles, your self-created combat techniques look pretty impressive. I wonder what it's called?" Icy shook his head and glanced sideways at Charles as he asked.
He was now very curious about the na of Charles's self-created combat techniques. Generally speaking, one could gain so relevant information from the na of a combat technique.
To be honest, Icy had no idea how Charles had perfectly dodged every one of his attacks.
Although he was now in a stronger Asura state, understanding how Charles had done it might still prove to be a challenge.
Fortunately, Charles answered his question.
"The na of the combat technique is: [Divine Domain]." Charles said slowly.
His voice wasn't loud, but it was very clear. Even in his second-tier Asura state, Icy was montarily taken aback.
He instinctively reached for his ear, as if uncertain about the na Charles had just spoken.
[Divine Domain]?
Divine?
A Level 4 Beast Master actually dared to na his self-created combat technique with a word that includes "Divine"?
Was Charles too arrogant, or did he have high hopes for this [Divine Domain] combat technique?
Not only did Icy think so, but even Ethan sitting in the audience had so doubts about his own hearing.
However, considering that Charles had comprehended thirty figures on the stone wall to complete his self-created combat technique, naming it as such wasn't entirely unreasonable!
For an ordinary Beast Master, a self-created combat technique derived from thirty figures could indeed be called "Divine"!
"I want to see just how strong this combat technique of yours is, worthy of this 'Divine' title." Icy declared as he prepared to launch his attack.
He had gathered useful information from the na: first, this combat technique was incredibly powerful, and Charles had great confidence in it,
Second, it should be related to a domain, which ant it likely had so range limitations.
He just didn't know how extensive that range was, would it cover the entire octagonal cage?
The rest of the information needed to be explored by Icy himself, so he charged at Charles without hesitation.
This ti, the speed of his attack was even faster, and the force was greater. Icy's feet even left a dent in the ground.
Countless fragnts and dust flew through the air, propelled by the gusts created by Icy's movents.
From a distance, Icy looked as if he had wings, soaring towards Charles.
However, Charles made no move at all, as if he didn't have ti to react.
So spectators gasped, saying:
"Icy's attack looks absolutely invincible this ti! What a magnificent strike! Is Charles stunned?"
"Icy's speed is so fast, did Charles not manage to react?"
"Are you guys stupid? Just now, Charles perfectly dodged Icy's attacks several tis, he won't encounter any surprises now!"
"Maybe Charles can't pull off what he did earlier anymore?"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Han Yan was almost face-to-face with Charles.
Unexpectedly, at that mont, he suddenly changed the direction of his attack, opting to strike at Charles's side instead!
However, just as Icy altered his movent, Charles moved as well!
The two acted simultaneously—one changing his attack, the other adjusting his position.
In the next instant, Icy's attack grazed past Charles and hit the ground.
"How is this possible? At the sa ti? This can't be!" Icy stared at Charles in disbelief.
As a battle genius, he was well aware of what had just happened: Charles had moved at the sa ti he did?
What did this imply?
Did Charles predict all of his movents?
That was impossible!
Because in the second-tier Asura combat techniques state, no one could perceive his muscle movents through the killing intent and bloodlust surrounding him to anticipate his actions.
Moreover, from the mont he changed his movent to deducing his true intent, ti was required.
It was simply impossible for both of them to act simultaneously!
"It must be that Charles got lucky and happened to dodge." Icy thought to himself, as he could only rationalize it this way.
Otherwise, he had no way to explain what had just transpired.
In contrast to Icy, Ruby, a Level 7 Beast Master, turned her head in disbelief, her mouth agape in shock as she looked at Ethan and asked:
"Ethan, did you just see that? Charles actually..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Ethan, taking a deep breath to calm himself, responded with certainty:
Your next read is at m v|l-e'-
"You didn't missee it, Charles didn't act simultaneously with Icy—his movent was just a fraction faster!"
To understand what this ans, consider that even Ruby, a Level 7 Beast Master, and Ethan, who is hailed as the tiger of Cyber Academy, were utterly shocked.
A slight difference indicates that Charles didn't rely predict Icy's movents, he preemptively foresaw them!
By anticipating Icy's actions, Charles had already begun to shift his position before Icy even moved.
Although Icy was incredibly strong, he was slightly affected by the Asura combat techniques, and since he was not on par with Level 7 and Level 8 Beast Masters,
he didn't notice the difference.
While Ethan and Ruby were still in shock, a figure quietly appeared beside them—it was Jamie, the dean of Cyber Academy.
He no longer worried about Charles's condition, this battle held no suspense anymore.
"Dean!" "Dean!" Ruby, Ethan, and several other teachers from Cyber Academy quickly stood up to pay their respects.
Especially Ruby, who glanced at the dean's astonished expression and then looked back at Charles in the octagonal cage.
She thought to herself, "The dean actually ca here. Is it for Charles? This kid must be pretty important to have an eight-level Beast Master like the dean co in person!"
The other teachers likely had their own guesses about the dean's purpose for being in the underground world, and in their minds, they had a clearer understanding of Charles's importance.
He was undoubtedly a unique genius, unprecedented in the Genosha branch of Cyber Academy!
At this mont, Celestine had no idea what the teachers were thinking or what Jamie's appearance in the underground world represented.
Her attention was entirely on Charles, watching his bleeding wounds, her eyes turned red, and silent tears dripped onto the ground.
"Charles, go for it! You're the best." Celestine didn't dare to shout too loudly.
She was afraid of affecting Charles, so she chose to cheer him on softly yet firmly, repeating her encouragent over and over.
In the octagonal cage,
Icy launched a series of fierce attacks, each ti changing angles and trajectories, leaving no intact spot on the ground.
The ground was all pockmarked and uneven, yet despite this, he still hadn't touched Charles's skin!
All of the wounds on Charles's body were caused by Icy's attacks when he failed to complete his self-created combat techniques earlier.
Now, he could no longer inflict any effective damage on Charles.
"Damn it! Is this so kind of absolute defensive combat technique?" Icy thought to himself.
He had tried many tis, and each attack was perfectly evaded by Charles.
Whether he chose to attack directly or change direction mid-attack, it was always the sa!
It was as if Charles could see into the depths of his mind, moving simultaneously to avoid each of his strikes.
"One last attempt, let's rely entirely on instinct!" Icy still hadn't given up.
He wanted to try maintaining calm and rationality in battle, sothing every strong individual must learn.
Now, for Icy, completely losing his calm and rationality and relying on his battle instincts had beco his last offensive strategy.
In the next mont, Icy closed his eyes and then opened them again.
In his bright red eyes, there was not a trace of human emotion, only endless killing intent and bloodlust.
At that mont, Icy resembled a sharp blade, cutting through the air around him, charging toward Charles's shoulder with an unstoppable montum!
Then,
This final offensive maneuver was evaded by Charles with a slight sidestep.
The powerful strike crashed into the ground, creating a deep pit instantly.
Icy, feeling sowhat dazed, looked down at the pit beneath his feet, unsure of what to do.
It was the first ti he had encountered such a situation—none of his offensive techniques had any effect on Charles at all.
At this mont, the balance of victory had begun to tip in Charles's favor.
"Can I ask how you've managed to evade so many attacks?" Icy gritted his teeth, regaining so rationality, and he desperately wanted to know the answer.
Failure is not sothing that is impossible to accept, not knowing how you failed is what truly drives one to despair.
"I told you, my combat technique is called Divine Domain." Charles replied slowly.
This statent left Icy stunned once again. He reluctantly assud a defensive stance and spoke up again:
"From now on, I will choose to defend. Charles, your combat technique should only serve the purpose of evasion, right?"
Icy took a deep breath. If he wanted to avoid being defeated by Charles, this was the only option left—he hoped that Charles's Divine Domain only had defensive capabilities. Charles didn't show any other expression upon hearing Icy's words.
He was also curious about the offensive capabilities of Divine Domain.
He carefully sensed everything within the domain, including the muscles throughout Icy's body and the traces of energy flow.
Soon, a perfect offensive route appeared before Charles, and it seed he could even see how Icy would attempt to block it.
"Let's give it a try, now it's my turn to attack." Charles said.
