Chapter 71: 35 Aesthetics_2 Chapter 71: 35 Aesthetics_2 Jian Mu is a protection knight, with a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right. While Long Dangdang wields two swords.
With a sudden force, Jian Mu’s right hand struck his left shield, emitting a sharp muzzle like sound. “Co on!” he challenged.
Long Dangdang sprung into action, a Slide Step with a strong push from his calf, launched him towards his opponent. As he propelled forward an explosion-like sound resonated within him, an Explosive Burst! Without any probing, he directly launched his trendous bursting power. In an instant, his whole body beca as bright as a brilliant light entity.
Jian Mu’s eyes bead with anticipation but he didn’t rush forward. His whole body radiated a golden mist, a Power Accumulation!
Power Accumulation is a common skill of knights, warriors, and assassins. The longer the power is stored, the stronger the subsequent burst.
However, Long Dangdang’s attack was swift, he zood like a low-flying teor. Under the amplification of the Explosive Burst, it took him re monts to reach his opponent. He leaped up, and a clone separated from his body, suddenly appearing in front of Jian Mu.
Jian Mu’s pupils contracted. He had seen Long Dangdang attack their teacher with a clone before. He imdiately shielded himself with his shield. The shield radiating a divine light, ready for a Divine Defense Tactical Block.
anwhile, seeing this from a distance, Long Kongkong raised his eyebrows. This was… a Slide Step Clone. Unlike the previous clones, it wasn’t quite solid.
Indeed, the first clone to separate was illusory. As it collided with Jian Mu’s shield, the clone dissipated into the light. Yet in the next mont, the twin swords that Long Dangdang swung slamd heavily on the shield.
While the divine defensive block didn’t exhaust its power on the first clone, it’s peak defensive power began to decline from the mont the clone dispersed. Despite being a divine skill, this defensive technique requires precise timing.
“Wham!” Both swords simultaneously struck the shield. The surface of the shield sparked a strong golden light, an effect of the Divine Defense Tactical Block, even a part of the force was utilized by Jian Mu. But Jian Mu involuntarily took a step back.
Long Dangdang’s body sprung back by the rebound. With a twist in mid-air, he used a second power burst from his waist, not giving Jian Mu another chance to accumulate power. His twin swords fell once more. He didn’t use any knight skills as the distance between them was too close. Every skill, even an instant cast, needed a mont to prepare but there was no ti. It was an actual full-strength attack.
“Wham!” This clang was even louder.
Jian Mu stepped back twice, feeling a slight numbness in his left arm. He roared in response, taking advantage of the mont his shield pushed back Long Dangdang, his knight sword suddenly lunged towards Long Dangdang.
However at that mont, even though Long Dangdang was mid-air, he twisted his body, just narrowly evading Jian Mu’s Longsword, and simultaneously, his twin swords fell again. The dodge, which seed to be a necessary move for his next attack, perfectly avoided Jian Mu’s sword.
Jian Mu took a forward step, lunging his body to close the distance in an attempt to prevent Long Dangdang from having sufficient power for his third strike. anwhile, he perford the Rising Sky Array Formation. A golden light surged from beneath his feet, collided with his shield and pushed it forward.
With his unquestionable strength, Jian Mu held the position of the class leader of Knights Class One at the Spirit Furnace Academy.
However, at that very instant, the golden light in Long Dangdang’s eyes suddenly transford into cyan. His twin estoc arrived a mont earlier than expected. Just as the Rising Sky Array Formation began and just as Jian Mu lunged forward, the swords had already arrived.
“Wham”—Jian Mu’s entire body shook violently. His montum was disrupted, his forward lunge was halted as his body was pushed back to its original position. On the other hand, Long Dangdang was lifted three ters into the air by the rebound. The light in his eyes switched back from cyan to gold, and from three ters high, he had ample ti to manipulate skills.
The flas on his body seed to have beco brighter as his dual swords turned into two beams of intense light falling down, Dual Swords Explosive Burst Daylight Slash!
“Boom!”
To withstand this powerful strike, Jian Mu had no choice but to place his longsword behind his shield, resorting again to the Divine Defense Tactical Block.
However, this ti, the attack was so overwhelmingly strong that in the midst of the intense rumbling sound, Jian Mu’s body uncontrollably stumbled backwards.
anwhile, Long Dangdang had once again took advantage of the montum to leap into the air. The two swords in his hands beca one, and a burst of golden light shot out from his eyes. In a blink of an eye, the golden light turned white, and a large sword light burst out from the rged dual swords.
Sacred Sword!
A three-ter-long sword light descended from the sky and landed heavily on Jian Mu’s shield. The brilliant white light engulfed Jian Mu’s body in an instant. Jian Mu, who was just about to regain his stability, was imdiately knocked off and sent flying. The shield in his hand shattered with a loud crash. He only managed to get up after rolling twice on the ground.
Long Dangdang gently landed, and the golden light on his body receded.
Jian Mu was profoundly shocked. He could feel that Long Dangdang had deliberately held back his Sacred Sword at the mont it hit him, otherwise, that single strike could have seriously wounded him.
The other students of Knights Class One who were watching this scene, suddenly found their breaths becoming a bit quickened.
He was so strong. Far too strong.
Despite having a lower Cultivation Level than Jian Mu, Long Dangdang, with five consecutive strikes, defeated Jian Mu, leaving him with no chance to counter. He had just lost like that.
They had already gained a certain understanding of Long Dangdang’s strength from his morning duel with Yan Yao, but during this spar, they truly understood how strong Long Dangdang was.
Whether it was his instantaneous explosive power or his control over the rhythm of the battle, from the very beginning when he gained the upper hand through a deceptive clone, he never gave Jian Mu any chance to counter. Witnessing the entire process filled with a violent aesthetic, the spectators couldn’t help but feel their blood boiling.
Long Dangdang was reining in his aura and slowly recuperating from the aftermath of his explosive energy, but thoughts of Hai Jifeng’s teachings echoed in his mind.
Hai Jifeng had once told him that the recklessness of a Reckless Knight is not rashness, but an amalgamation of bravery and sacrifice from the Ten Tenets of Knighthood. Face your enemy and crush them in the shortest ti possible. Don’t give your opponent a chance to retaliate, nor reveal their trump cards and extinguish everything at the onset. That is his pursuit.
Jian Mu walked back to Long Dangdang, his gaze a bit complicated as he said, “I lost.”
Even though he knew he might lose, he had never imagined that he would lose so badly. He was completely unable to fight back.
“Our real strength should not be like this,” Long Dangdang responded earnestly. “Perhaps, because our class has always been at the bottom, your will to fight is insufficient. But for knights like us, nothing is more important than the knight’s spirit. My teacher once told that you need to forget everything in a battle and only think about defeating your opponent, even if it costs your own life. Without such willpower, you could never beco stronger.”
Jian Mu’s gaze flickered slightly, his right fist crossed his chest and punched his left. “I’ve learned my lesson, Class Leader.”
Long Dangdang also crossed his right fist over his chest in a knight’s salute, and then turned towards the rest of the students, “We not only need to dare to fight but also to struggle. Would you like to learn Explosive Burst with ?”
Upon hearing these words, the whole class imdiately beca excited, all shouting at the top of their lungs, “Yes!”
Explosive Burst is a secret technique and not a skill possessed by the Knights Temple. It is a unique technique created by the Reckless Knight.
Long Dangdang nodded, “If you want to learn Explosive Burst, first, you must have a burning heart!”
