While the two were flustered, a figure suddenly flashed with inconceivable speed, appearing right in front of Lula.
Battle Skill—Fiery Fla Divine Fist!
The fla-wreathed fist instantly filled her entire perception.
Battle Skill—Roar!
Lula’s eyes widened. She roared at the sky, the life force within her exploding like ignited gunpowder.
In the face of the crisis, her reaction was incredibly swift. Moreover, she was incredibly brave. Instead of retreating, she advanced, her large cleaver hacking out trails of afterimages.
The roaring Battle Aura almost solidified, clashing with the oncoming flas and causing thunderous booms.
With the enhancent of Dragon King’s Fury and Battle Skills, even Father in his pri couldn’t suppress , let alone break through my defenses so quickly.
But the next mont...
BANG!
The fla-cloaked fist collided with the cleaver again, and the released force instantly shattered the blade.
One must understand, as the head of the Dragon King Chamber of Comrce, the weapon in Lula’s hand was undoubtedly a top-notch blade that had stood the test of ti. It wouldn’t falter even against a Legendary Creature.
Now, it was actually smashed to pieces.
Not good! Lula’s beautiful eyes widened. She crossed her arms in front of her and imdiately felt a massive force striking her directly.
BANG!
CRACK...
Her arm bones nearly broke on the spot. She let out a stifled grunt as she was sent flying backward.
Island Master Cherry landed and was about to press her advantage when a trident appeared out of nowhere, sweeping toward her.
Sea God Hawke’s expression was grim.
Battle Skill—Furious Tide!
Water appeared on the trident. It seed to be only a thin layer, yet every drop weighed hundreds of pounds. Tens of thousands of pounds of force followed his arm’s swing, colliding head-on with Cherry.
Water splashed, and sparks flew.
BANG!
Both staggered back simultaneously.
Hawke’s hands trembled slightly, his heart sinking further.
"Heh..."
Island Master Cherry, however, seed utterly unaffected. She flashed a smile and, transforming into a torrent of fla, pounced once again.
BANG!
BANG! BANG!
Hawke, Freedom Port’s foremost expert, ard with a legendary weapon and a superior Dharma Seal, was being thoroughly suppressed.
BANG!
With a dull thud, Hawke retreated frantically to stand shoulder to shoulder with Lula. Both looked gravely at their fla-shrouded opponent.
"How can this be?"
Lula gnashed her teeth, "How could she be so strong?"
She had heard Cherry’s na before; a rather infamous and beautiful female pirate in the Endless Sea Domain. After disappearing for years, she had re-erged as the Island Master of Fla Island. Moreover, her strength had beco so terrifying!
"The Knight Path is all about condensing and growing the Life Seed, which nourishes and strengthens our bodies," Hawke said solemnly. "Upon becoming a Great Knight, the life force strengthens the internal organs, the skull, and every other organ in the body, making them all stronger. But the human body has its limits. There are places the life force cannot enhance, such as the capillaries and nerves. Only those with the Bloodline of a Duke or the blessing of a Divine being can break through these limits and achieve a fundantal leap in their level of life. And she... clearly, she has already broken these limits and is only one step away from becoming a Legendary Knight."
Lula had advanced to Great Knight too recently. Although her strength was decent, her experience and knowledge were clearly lacking.
Sea God Hawke, however, instantly realized that sothing was amiss with Island Master Cherry of Fla Island.
The flas wreathed around Cherry’s body erupted from every pore with each Breath she took. This ant her Battle Aura had penetrated every part of her body, even down to her hair follicles and individual strands of hair.
A peak Great Knight?
No! She was already half a step into the Legendary realm!
Moreover, the armor she wore was also a Curio. Coupled with her Fire Control ability and the geographical advantage of being on Fla Island, it wasn’t surprising she could suppress them both.
"How did she do it?" Lula’s eyes narrowed. "Even Father and you couldn’t do it."
"Evil God!" Hawke’s gaze shifted past Island Master Cherry to the giant fla statue behind her. "Only the power of a Divine being can help mortals transcend the levels of life."
His voice was laced with shock, fear, and a touch of greed and longing. His eyes flickered.
Legendary! That was an evolution in the level of life itself.
Condensing a Life Seed to beco a Knight or a Great Knight indeed increased strength, but it didn’t extend one’s lifespan. It was only because their bodies were stronger and they suffered fewer ailnts that Knights usually lived longer. In fact, if an ordinary person was skilled in maintaining their health, they could live to be eighty, ninety, or even over a hundred years old—not much different from a Great Knight.
But a Legendary Knight has completed this evolution of life, with a minimum lifespan of two hundred years, or even longer.
Who wouldn’t be tempted by such an allure?
"Exactly!" Cherry grinned. "Offering you to the Father God will grant more blessings, and I can beco a true Legend."
"So... die!"
Her flas blazed forth again, and she lunged forward with a speed that nearly surpassed Lula’s ability to react.
BANG!
Hawke and Cherry collided in midair.
Upon landing, she unleashed her Battle Skill—Furious Tide of Fla!
The wide hall filled with surging flas. The high temperature turned rock into magma, and everything in their perception seed to twist.
BOOM!
A figure wreathed in raging flas charged forward furiously, like a teor striking the earth.
RUMBLE...
The ground trembled and magma erupted. Two figures spat out blood as they were sent flying backward.
SWOOSH!
The sea of flas violently contracted inward, revealing Island Master Cherry. Her eyes were blood-red, her face twisted in a savage grin.
Her form flashed again as she pounced toward the two gravely injured individuals.
