Ti passed, and finally, the final match of that opening tournant for the Arena of the Dry City had arrived.
Of the final participants, one was a woman, who had narrowly won the fight in the quarterfinals, nad Teri. As for her opponent, this was one of Minos' forr guards, whose na was Elr.
The two had managed to pass the semifinals with so difficulty, having had fights that impressed the audience present in this place.
Anyway, finally, the two went up to the arena stage while the audience returned their attention to that place. These thousands of people were already here for about 4 hours, and most of them had seen fights like never before.
So of them even had a growing desire to fight in this place in the future...
"Finally, the concluding has arrived!"
"Hmm, I'm cheering for Miss Teri. She really worked hard to get here."
"It's true, but the soldier Elr has an innate battle ability. I doubt he will lose to her!"
"Huh, it's going to be a struggle for her. After all, innate skills expend less spiritual energy than spiritual techniques..."
This was the main advantage of innate skill. Because it is sothing of the cultivator himself and not an external technique learned, the consumption of spiritual energy for innate abilities was small.
Aside from these battle abilities, the characteristics of each innate ability were quite unique, and there was no general rule about them. Of course, any innate ability that releases energy would obviously have a consumption.
But for skills that don't release energy, it could be different. In the case of Minos, his own body was continually affected by it, and there was no way to activate or deactivate it.
It was like physical property.
Anyway, the world of innate skills was infinite, and almost anything was possible...
At this point, finally, Sergeant Pyke positioned himself in the corner of the stage, looked at Teri, who was wearing black female armor, already placed for the fight.
She did not use any weapons since she practiced an attack technique aid at hand-to-hand combat.
After that, Pyle looked at Elr, who had an open armor, which basically only protected so points on his body, such as his shoulders, parts of his arms, and legs.
This was the type of armor aid at increasing the warrior's speed, who could use these few pieces of protection as a shield during the fight.
Finally, he also did not use any weapons since his own innate ability focused on close combat, typical of boxers like him. And due to his skill, Elr had chosen to follow this path with his techniques since he was more apt for this.
"Well, get started!"
Hidden Path!
After hearing the start of the fight, Teri imdiately ran towards her opponent, activating her moving technique without second thoughts.
She was very clear about her opponent's strength, so she knew she was at a disadvantage in this match. Thus, she only had the initiative to do sothing to change this situation!
At the sa ti, Elr smiled at his opponent's behavior and then started his own movent.
He suddenly activated his innate ability when his two fists were covered, almost instantly, with red energy.
It was as if he had a red steel glove coated in his hands!
"Is there! He's going to use it from the beginning!" Soone shouted in the middle of the arena bleachers.
That was Elr's innate ability, which made his fists as hard as a grade-2, high-grade weapon because of the Warrior-grade classification, which his Physique provided for him!
This was a fantastic skill, which could destroy enemy defenses very quickly. For this reason, Tori had used her moving technique since the beginning of the fight.
If she were hit, even if she weren't imdiately defeated, she wouldn't be able to fight for long!
'Shit! I'll have to appeal and fight at a distance. I can't take any chances and get close to him...'
anwhile, Elr finally started his move, trying to get closer to Tori. "Hehe, Sergeant Tori, don't take this seriously. I'm only interested in the prize of a thousand crystals!"
Pow!
After hearing these words, Tori wasted no more ti and soon punched the air, sending a fist of energy in the direction from where Elr was coming.
Boom!
And contrary to what could be expected, Elr did not deviate so much but also punched the fist created by Tori directly, using only his hands!
"If you don't take the chance to attack , I will still beat you because you will run out of energy first!" Shortly after receiving the first attack, he said with a smile, being pushed two steps back.
...
As the fight continued, Minos and his group comfortably enjoyed this fight from their VIP lounge.
"This skill is excellent. I fear that this young Teri cannot win..." Butler Dillian comnted to the group.
Minos nodded in agreent when he heard this and started to speak. "Hmm, for soone with Black-grade battle techniques and with an attack focused on hand-to-hand fighting, like Teri, Elr is the worst type of opponent for her."
"I dare to say that, in addition to opponents with support and long-distance battle skills or techniques, it would be challenging for soone on the sa level as Elr to beat him!"
For Minos, beating Elr would not be difficult since he had two techniques that could prevent Elr from hitting him and that could finish his opponent. But there were other thods to achieve this.
For example, at the ti when Minos had had his first fights, he had had a hard ti beating one of his opponents in those three weeks of battles.
That man, Grym, had an innate support-type ability, called ntal Caos, that could put his user's opponent in a state of temporary confusion.
Anyway, this was another way to beat an opponent like Elr. But to Tori's bad luck, she had none of these kinds of techniques or innate ability...
"Hehehe, this young man will be even more interesting when he reaches the Spiritual King stage!" Dillian said with a smile. Obviously, having a soldier with such a skill would make the Black Plain Army even stronger.
And when he reached the 6th stage of cultivation, there would undoubtedly be few opponents for soone like that in the future...
...
And while Minos and Dillian talked on the balcony of the VIP room that they were, the fight was already coming to an end.
Until, that was not a quick fight, but from beginning to end, the confrontation was dominated by Sergeant Elr's side. He had defended himself from Tori's various attacks, countering with his own innate ability.
At the sa ti, Tori was running back and forth on the stage, always trying to keep so distance from her opponent. However, her strategy didn't work...
As Elr had said before, if she didn't take a chance, her possibility of winning would be nil since innate skills were far more effective than spiritual techniques. So, while she was draining from her spiritual reserves, her opponent was there very well, even after a few dozen blows.
And finally, Tori was unable to maintain her previous speed when Elr managed to get closer and land a blow on his opponent.
That was the beginning of the end of this fight. After receiving the first blow, Tori could no longer dodge Elr's attacks. All she could do was defend herself or counterattack!
Pow!
"Ahhh!"
Suddenly, another blow hit Tori's armor, spreading all the damage across her ribs, causing her to scream in pain at the spot. She took two steps back while her knees wobbled and made her fall to the floor slowly.
She was not seriously injured, as this was a friendly match, but there were still strands of blood coming out of her mouth.
'Ahh! This will definitely leave a mark...' She lanted to herself as she looked at the crumpled armor on her body.
She could feel the part of her body that had received the blow. It was already starting to turn blue due to the intense pain she felt in that part...
"I quit!" She said it out loud.
There was no point in continuing. She was almost out of spiritual energy, and the pain she felt now was enough to make her lose focus on the battle.
With that, the fight has finally co to an end!
"Well, as competitor Teri has given up on the fight, Elr will be the winner of this competition!" Pyke said excitedly.
...
And it didn't take long, and the audience was already discussing what had happened in this place.
"Ahh, that was one of the best afternoons of my life!" A young man in the middle of the crowd said to his friends.
"The sa for . After the opening of the cultivation tower, I never thought I would see anything that would make so happy!"
"Hehe, when I reach the 4th stage of cultivation, I will compete in this place. I heard that the ranking here would pay as well as the ranking of cultivation..."
After that, little by little, the people of that place left, heading back to their hos, work, or whatever it was.
...
In the room they were in, Minos looked at the young woman who was with him and Dillian and said. "Secretary Mia, arrange for Sergeant Elr to receive his award."
"Alright, young master!"
"Soon, I will be leaving to go to the City of Waters, then separate a group of five soldiers to go with , grandpa Dillian."
"Hmm, okay."
