There is no doubt, this is an expert fighter.
In terms of strength, he is even comparable to Liek, a Tier Seven peak Fla Warrior, and also the captain of the Holy Son’s Personal Guard directly under Liek’s command.
But his uniqueness isn’t just in his strength, but also in his aura and fighting style.
This Outer Battlefield Fla Warrior is different from those Fla Warriors Andrew has encountered in the Fla Realm.
Perhaps to adapt to the environnt of this Outer Battlefield, which differs from the Fla Realm, or perhaps to battle against the Water Mages, necessary adjustnts have been made. The Fla Warriors here have lost a bit of dominance and spontaneity in their force, gaining a weight and heaviness akin to the earth.
This not only doesn’t weaken the destructive power and explosive force the Fla Warriors pride themselves on, but rather, like a long-overdue volcanic eruption, it becos more destructive and concentrated once it explodes!
"Impressive!"
Andrew decided to address the issue before him seriously, not considering the matters at headquarters for now.
He did not rush to strike but stayed calm, observing his opponent’s movents and techniques.
Strictly speaking, this was the first Fla Warrior Andrew encountered after reaching the Outer Battlefield—when he first passed through the Teleportation Gate and arrived at the Outer Battlefield, Andrew imdiately collided with and toppled a Fla Warrior, but everything happened so fast at that ti that he didn’t even have ti to react before the opponent was taken out.
At this mont, Andrew’s eyes glowed with a faint blue light, while the Water God Mark on his forehead seed to vaguely transform into a vertical eye, observing every movent and energy flow of the opponent carefully—
"The power is strong, especially the explosive force is abnormal."
"Although the speed is still not as fast as a Crimson Knight of the sa Fire Elent, it’s already better than the Fla Warriors I’ve fought in the Fla Realm."
"The armor type is not heavy armor but rather light armor chosen by the Crimson Knights."
"A punch that causes a phenonon similar to an undersea volcanic eruption! This indicates he’s definitely not a novice Tier Seven, but a top figure in Tier Seven, possibly about to break through to Tier Eight?"
Andrew observed and analyzed simultaneously.
Everything in front of him seed to slow down at that mont.
Andrew almost waited until the opponent’s fist was about to hit him, then slightly sidestepped to avoid the punch.
As he lightly brushed past the opponent, he used his hand like a blade, delivering a slanted cut on the opponent’s chest armor, neither too light nor too heavy.
"Haha, co on, why is it so soft, completely powerless!"
The Fla Warrior squad leader completely ignored Andrew’s hand chop. After his punch missed, he stepped heavily on the water to turn around, pouncing towards Andrew once more, "I know you’re eager to break through and don’t want to entangle you, but if you’re so casually exposing your back to —"
He stopped mid-sentence, suddenly dazed.
In his view, Andrew must be eager to escape his entanglent and get away quickly.
After passing by each other, Andrew should logically have distanced himself as fast as possible.
Simply put, he thought Andrew should have run away.
Fleeing headlong, without turning back!
However, at this mont, not far from the Fla Warrior squad leader, Andrew, gently holding Pasha, landed steadily on the water. But instead of running, it seed he had no intention of breaking through; instead, he turned back, facing the Fla Warrior squad leader directly!
"Armor-Stripping Blade."
Andrew thought silently to himself, with an expressionless face.
The seemingly indifferent hand chop just now could not have been as simple as it appeared on the surface.
"These Outer Battlefield Fla Warriors are indeed different from the Fla Turtles, Capella, Fleur, and Sally that I have encountered before," thought Andrew. "But essentially, they are the sa! Fundantally, the Fla Warriors here are no different from those in the Fla Realm!"
Take the naless Fla Warrior squad leader in front of him, for instance; he has also trained in the New Dragon Transformation Combat Technique like Capella.
The only difference is that the Dragon Transformation Weapon he condensed wasn’t sothing like an axe spear but instead... the light armor he wore.
No matter how much the armor’s style appears Crimson Knight-like on the outside, its core essence is still the aura of Dragon Transformation Weapon, the New Dragon Transformation Combat Technique!
Andrew could easily determine that this Fla Warrior squad leader’s proficiency in the New Dragon Transformation Combat Technique was not as refined as First Saintess Capella’s.
"Because this person condensed a Dragon Transformation Weapon—or rather, Dragon Transformation Armor—but he didn’t summon the ’Fire of Extinguishing’, let alone the massive ’Dragon Shadow’ behind Capella."
Andrew concluded, "There’s no need to draw him into my ’inner world’ as I did with Capella, to cleanse the power of the ’New Dragon Transformation Combat Technique’ from her body and soul. For this guy, I’ll just use the thod I employed in the Inner Sea Desert to exorcise Desolate Beasts, severing his connection with the New Dragon Transformation Combat Technique should suffice."
This was the magic contained within Andrew’s one hand chop just now.
Armor-Stripping Blade.
Composed of multiple water magic spells of varying tiers from the Water God Mark, derived from traditional Water Magic but more targeted.
"You... what are you looking at, kid?!" The Fla Warrior squad leader seed completely infuriated by Andrew’s action of not escaping but instead turning to face him.
In a single swift step, he appeared directly in front of Andrew.
Behind him, due to the impact from his heavy stepping on the water, a pillar of water shot up, echoing the previous water waves caused by Liek’s Desolate Language Avatar explosion.
With a thud!
The fist, as large as a sandbag, hit the center of Andrew’s forehead.
The Fla Warrior squad leader who landed the punch on Andrew looked baffled, then sowhat confused.
He couldn’t quite understand why, but he could clearly feel: this punch had no power.
Monts later, he looked down and saw that: his Dragon Transformation Armor was shattering piece by piece, like peeling wall plaster, falling poof poof into the water beneath his feet.
Realizing this, the Fla Warrior squad leader found himself in the water too, having been "stripped" of the power of the New Dragon Transformation Combat Technique by one blow from Andrew, retaining only part of a Fla Warrior’s power, but no longer at Tier Seven peak, no longer capable of Walking on Waves.
"Oh... glug glug... damn... glug glug... I... I can’t swim!" He scread in terror, feeling unspeakable absurdity.
This... should be a loss, right?
The question is, how exactly was it lost??
Even in a one-on-one against Holy Son Lick, this Fla Warrior had so confidence; if not winning, he could most likely rely on strict defense to remain unbeaten.
He truly couldn’t understand, through what ans he had been defeated!
From Andrew’s perspective, the Fla Warrior’s head was already subrged by the waves, with only two hands above the water, futilely struggling, seemingly trying to grasp so nonexistent last straw to save his life.
Andrew stepped forward, grabbing the opponent’s hair to lift him out of the water, then casually tossed him onto the shallow waters of a nearby island.
With just one encounter, one move, Andrew completely defeated a Tier Seven peak Fla Warrior, yet there wasn’t the slightest hint of pride or excitent on his face or in his heart.
This is because—
The core logic of the Armor-Stripping Blade is designed for Fla Warriors transford into Desolate Beasts due to the old Dragon Transformation Combat Technique’s loss of control, aiming to address such issues with Water Magic.
It was not ant to target the New Dragon Transformation Combat Technique!
Yet it was effective against the New Dragon Transformation Combat Technique, and remarkably so.
What does this imply?
It implies that the new Dragon Transformation Combat Technique, touted to resolve the Fla Warriors’ power-loss control turning them into Desolate Beasts, hasn’t truly solved the problem at all!
Andrew had decided temporarily not to think about the matters over at headquarters, but now once again thought back to the headquarters, particularly to that giant monstrous crab which had once severely oppressed the Black Whale Headquarters from above the clouds.
Andrew, who had only speculated before, was now over ninety percent sure: "That crab, it’s nothing else. It’s probably also a ’Desolate Beast’. But not the kind that resulted from practicing the old Dragon Transformation Combat Technique, losing control over their power like those wreaking havoc in the Inner Sea Desert.
But one that practiced the New Dragon Transformation Combat Technique, thinking its power would no longer lose control but ended up losing control even more completely—a crab-shaped Desolate Beast!"
