Chapter 294: Chapter 291: Cheating Equipnt Chapter 294: Chapter 291: Cheating Equipnt A battle had just erupted, and the cara was now switching to the Commander of the Wolf Heart rcenary Corps, Black Panther.
The chanics of the Spirit Space made the young contestant who had just died turn into a point of light and vanish, but the Spirit Space felt very real. Through the screen, one could still see the blood dripping continuously from the long sword in Black Panther’s hands.
Zhou Jianhong, who burst out of the bushes, was also quickly spotted by the audience.
Many lanted Black Panther’s good luck, while also feeling nervous for their own favored contestants… Black Panther had already claid two heads, and many well-known bosses, such as the highly favored Silver Wolf Deputy Commander, had yet to secure even one. Even if the Deputy Commander’s strength surpassed Black Panther’s, it was no use, the competition was scored based on the number of kills and survival ti.
In the spectators’ seats, the square-faced man, as well as Zhou Jianhong’s team mbers, couldn’t help but sigh at this scene.
Such terrible luck.
The ga had been going for just over ten minutes, and most contestants had yet to encounter each other. The ones truly eliminated were just the youngster who had stumbled upon Black Panther earlier; at the Fifth Tier versus Sixth Layer, the speed disparity was too great, there was no escape.
Right now, Brother Zhou faced the sa situation.
…
Black Panther sneered confidently as if he had the situation well in hand.
Zhou Jianhong gripped his weapon, eyes focused, and chose not to run away—an expression of reason. To flee and leave one’s back to the enemy would only lead to a swifter death.
“… But a head-on battle spells death all the sa.”
An audience mber sighed, staring at the screen. Suddenly, they felt there was sothing off about the images of the two combatants.
Both n wielded long swords, but Zhou Jianhong was clad in a set of silver armor, looking valiant and extraordinary. A second look at Black Panther, in casual wear, revealed that his clothes had been shredded by dense branches during the previous chase, leaving him looking like a beggar.
A beggar brimming with ferocity, and a valiant general being extra cautious—sothing seed amiss no matter how you looked at it.
“Zhou Jianhong is actually quite lucky, having not only obtained a rune longsword but also found a set of Rune Armor. Unfortunately, his gap with Black Panther cannot be bridged by one or two pieces of equipnt.”
“Yes, if it were advanced rune equipnt, he might stand a chance. But now, with only ten minutes into the ga, finding two E-grade items is quite good. Haven’t you seen that Black Panther only has one piece? Many other contestants haven’t even encountered an Equipnt Light Ball yet… Oh, right, I just noticed that guy who entered naked, his luck isn’t bad either, finding two Equipnt Light Balls at once, but sadly, both are weapons.”
That finalist, the naked Awakener who joined the contest on a heavy motorcycle, was probably more well-known than many big shots.
Perhaps he would soon receive a widely recognized title, such as “Nude Warrior So-and-so.”
This fa, this title, one wonders what he will think when he finds out after coming out.
So idle spectators were already busy in their minds, considering the catchy title “Nude Warrior.” They definitely had to help promote it.
Well, no need for thanks; spreading joy was a pleasure, and everyone was happy.
…
On the screen, Black Panther stepped closer, while Zhou Jianhong did not stay still but also charged forward. Muscles in his right arm bulged, and his longsword ca crashing down.
Black Panther stomped his foot hard on the ground, sidestepping half a ter. At the sa ti, the ground he had stomped on exploded like a bombshell, dust flying up and montarily obstructing Zhou Jianhong’s vision.
Leaning forward, he took another step and swung his wide-blade long sword horizontally.
Even against an opponent with obviously lesser strength, Black Panther was not careless in the slightest.
Tactics, timing, no holding back!
Zhou Jianhong clearly didn’t react in ti and was slashed across the waist by Black Panther’s wide-blade sword.
However,
Hiss—
Against all expectations of the audience, Black Panther’s sword failed to cut Zhou Jianhong in half. The sword’s blade struck the armor, sending out sparks, and visible to the naked eye, the armor lit up with bright, shimring runes, flashing silver light.
“It’s the Silver Scale Chest Armor, a D3-grade piece!”
Shay took a mont to explain, speaking as quickly as a machine gun, “The Silver Scale Chest Armor has a passive skill. When faced with a fatal threat, it releases stored energy, temporarily increases armor defense, and absorbs so of the impact force. As everyone can see, Black Panther’s sword strike was imnsely powerful, and one would think that even if it couldn’t pierce the armor, the terrifying force would be enough to send Zhou Jianhong flying.”
“At the end of the day, the weapon Black Panther holds is just an ordinary E2-grade wide-blade sword. Even with the power of his Sixth Layer Awakening, he still can’t cut through the Silver Scale Chest Armor. The importance of equipnt is undoubted—a good piece of gear can save a life at a critical mont, or even turn the tide of battle.”
Zhou Jianhong, hit by the wide-blade sword, slid to the left, his feet dragging deep marks on the ground.
His sight was obscured by the upturned earth, but the force transmitted from the armor allowed Zhou Jianhong to accurately gauge Black Panther’s current position.
Black Panther’s strength was undoubtedly above his, and even with his multiple rune-enhanced equipnt, a victory was far from certain. Should Black Panther choose to flee at a disadvantage, he, who was behind a major bottleneck, would be even less likely to catch up.
He was waiting.
Waiting for this exact mont!
Zhou Jianhong’s eyes shone brightly, his blood and qi surged throughout his body, and fierce flas whooshed up from the long sword, spreading across it. The blade, which was just over a ter long, beca engulfed in flas and transford into a fiery giant sword over two ters in length.
The firelight turned the surroundings crimson.
He swung his sword down.
On the other side,
Unable to cut Zhou Jianhong in half at the waist, Black Panther also had a mont of bewildernt, sensing danger. It was too late to dodge, so he quickly went on the defense, placing his wide-blade sword in front of his chest, gripping it tightly to block.
On one side was a powerful strike layered with flas, on the other, a hasty defense. Black Panther knew that he couldn’t completely withstand the incoming attack and was very likely to be injured.
‘But, after all, I am a Sixth Layer Awakener. The final victor will still be . Had it been soone else, perhaps you might have—or so he had thought at that mont.
His train of thought blurred when the wide-blade sword raised in front of his chest was sliced into two by the opponent’s Fla Giant Sword. Looking down, he saw a fiery line diagonally bisecting his body from his left shoulder down to his waist.
…How could this be.
With a thud, Black Panther dissipated into points of light and vanished.
The audience was stunned, unable to comprehend…no, they couldn’t even catch up with the speed of the duel with their own eyes.
They only caught the final mont when one person turned into points of light and disappeared, and it was not Zhou Jianhong, but the boss-level fighter, Black Panther.
The screen began to replay the exhilarating monts, and only then did the audience realize…damn, had they been watching live rather than a broadcast, they would have missed much of a battle even between boss-level fighters!
The combatants’ speed was slowed down by more than tenfold. When Black Panther failed to slash Zhou Jianhong at the waist, the comntators recalled the comntary at the final mont of the fight when Zhou Jianhong’s long sword caught fire, not only breaking Black Panther’s weapon but also delivering a fatal blow…
Shay tily began his comntary, “What we just witnessed emphasizes the importance of armor, but now, the emphasis is on the importance of weapons.”
“Just ntioned, Black Panther’s weapon was an E2 grade weapon, while the weapon in Zhou Jianhong’s hand…” He paused, stirring up the audience’s curiosity, “is a C1 grade weapon, the Red Fla Sword. The sharpness of the weapon, as everyone has seen, easily sliced through an E-class weapon; even Black Panther realized what happened only after he was cleaved in two.”
Shay shifted his tone, “So may have seen similar weapons, like the D2 grade Fiery Fla Saber. The Fiery Fla Saber incorporates a Basic Fla Attachnt rune, adding fire to the blade during a slash, but…”
“The Red Fla Sword is even more exceptional. Engraved on the blade is not just a Basic Fla Attachnt but an actively-triggered fla capability. Besides wrapping the blade to increase its power, the flas can also leap from the blade, similar to Sword Qi or Sword Light.”
This ti, with no need to rush, the replay continued slowly as Shay thodically explained the power of the C-grade rune weapon.
The ability to actively trigger the weapon was sothing to aspire to, especially for those who had not awakened any special abilities.
The replay of the thrilling monts ended, and the cara transitioned back to the combatants on the battlefield.
It was Zhou Jianhong again!
But this ti, he was the pursuer.
The one fleeing was a skinny young man, apparently an Awakener skilled in speed and very agile, leaping through the forest.
Zhou Jianhong chased steadily, but the distance was gradually increasing.
Suddenly, Zhou Jianhong stopped.
The skinny Awakener glanced back.
Seemingly aware that he couldn’t catch up and opting to conserve his energy…
But just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he saw a crescent-shaped Fla Sword Qi burst forth following the swing of the long sword. It was only about two ters from the sword, but once it caught the wind, it violently expanded.
Three ters, five ters…
Quick as lightning, the Sword Qi engulfed the skinny Awakener amidst his look of terror.
The live audience fell silent.
Is this Sword Qi? This simply looks like cheating!
