Chapter 22: The Last Resort
…
"Alright Maren, watch quietly, study her martial arts carefully, she may be one of our opponents in the ranking battle." The black-haired young man, who was the elder brother, said slowly.
"One of the opponents?" The frivolous brown-haired young man raised his eyebrows, "Big brother is very optimistic about her..."
While the two brothers were talking, the battle not far away was also changing rapidly.
Seeing that Lilian successfully dodged the attack of the big sword, the middle-aged martial artist did not change the direction of his attack this time.
His broadsword still maintained its original direction of attack, slamming down on the dirt ground.
Boom!
The heavy knife fell to the ground, and the entire platform trembled.
The earthy ground that had been reinforced by magic immediately shattered into a large amount of hard earth under the action of great force.
At this time, the middle-aged warrior also raised the broadsword.
He used the broad blade as a racket and the hard clod of earth as ammunition and swung it violently.
These hard clods of earth were like arrows shot from a full bow, with great force, and they all shot at Lilian, who had just landed.
Seeing the overwhelming clods of dirt, Lillian's brows furrowed.
Although he already overestimated the strength of this middle-aged martial artist, he didn't expect that the other party would be so difficult.
Although Lillian had fought powerful humans like Sullivan before, those times she had won with artifacts or overwhelming force;
There isn't much skill to speak of, it's just a straightforward way of fighting.
This time I hid my strength and learned from the human martial artists, and I realized how much of a role those so-called martial arts played.
If it weren't for the powerful five senses of the saint-level demon and the strong body reaction ability, maybe she would have been slashed by the middle-aged martial artist's big sword.
However, the stronger the opponent, the more correct Lilian's choice became.
Since human beings can achieve good results in fighting spirit and martial arts, they must also have remarkable results in spells, and Lilian has already begun to look forward to the magic of Vincent's Academy.
The clods of dirt flew in, and Lillian didn't retreat.
She raised her foot and kicked the ground, and the whole person was like a wild goose, quickly rising up, and in an instant, she crossed the barrage formed by the clods of soil and landed firmly on the ground again.
Seeing that this attack still didn't work, the middle-aged warrior also temporarily lowered his broadsword and propped it on the ground, looking like he was recovering his breath; There was a look of appreciation in the eyes that looked at Lilian.
"You're strong, fully qualified for Vincent... I'd love to see where your limits are, though, so you'll have to be careful. The middle-aged warrior exuded an incomparable fighting intent all over his body, and his fighting spirit also surged violently.
Although the strength is still suppressed at the level of the general, the casual feeling of just testing has been transformed into an indomitable momentum.
"It's just a test, do you want to be so serious..."Lilian rolled her eyes under her cloak, and then she also became vigilant, and said coldly:
"Six more tricks."
Lilian's voice was not very high, but it was enough for the middle-aged martial artist standing on the opposite side to hear it.
His eyes flashed, and an excited smile appeared on his face,
"It's kind of funny... Look at the moves! ”
As soon as the words fell, the middle-aged martial artist, whose momentum had climbed to the top, rushed up with a big sword and a hula.
"Wind Blade!"
The middle-aged warrior quickly approached Lilian's side, carrying a big knife wrapped in spiral fighting spirit, like a tiger that only chooses people to devour, and under the traction of his tangled arms, he fiercely pounced on Lilian in front of him.
Lilian lunged forward, taking advantage of the gap in the middle-aged warrior's attack, and dodged from the side.
It's not that she's afraid of the other party's attack, this kind of general-level attack, hitting her body, is estimated to be similar to tickling, at best, it can only damage Lilian's clothes.
It's not that she is unwilling to fight back, it is estimated that she can seriously injure this martial artist with a casual punch.
As the saying goes: people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong.
As a demon in a human settlement, Lilian is naturally careful if she can be careful, and low-key if she can be low-key.
If she fights the examiner head-on, if she can't control her strength and behaves too much, she may be noticed by the sensitive temple, which is neither good for acting nor safe.
But if she just dodges, no matter how well she dodges, in the eyes of others, she is only better than the examiner in terms of skills, after all, the strength of the examiner is only at the level of a general.
It was with this in mind that Lillian made the intention of dodging ten moves; Anyway, there are only ten moves, be careful, control your physical strength at about the king level, I believe they can't see Lilian's true level - she doesn't rely on fighting spirit to exert her strength.
"Big brother, this guy has such a strong sense of battle, why does he only dodge and not fight back; As long as the examiner is given a trick, won't he pass? The brown-haired young man asked suspiciously.
"Maybe I'm very confident in my own strength and want to challenge myself." The black-haired youth replied casually.
"Confidence?"
Looking at Lilian, who was fighting fiercely with the middle-aged warrior, the brown-haired youth showed a wicked smile.
"Big brother, you said that this woman even wears a cloak during the assessment, is she ugly and afraid to see people, haha."
"Who knows..."
Glancing at his smiling brother, the black-haired youth shrugged speechlessly and turned his gaze back to the field, preferring to watch other people's battles rather than such boring topics.
As time went on, the chase on the field gradually became white-hot.
The middle-aged martial artist let out a loud shout, and the condensed fighting qi was quickly released in an instant, and a cloud of smoke and dust that obscured his vision suddenly rose up.
Lilian, who was originally behind him, also immediately retreated, dodging the smoke and dust in front of her, standing not far away, frowning and staring at the large cloud of smoke and dust in front of her.
Lilian had already gone through nine moves with the middle-aged martial artist, and as long as she dodged this final blow again, she could pass without a hitch.
Lilian is not worried about passing, but is afraid of revealing her strength and thus being investigated.
This examiner's attack is sharp and imposing, although he only uses the fighting spirit of the general level, he has already taken out the fighting ability of the emperor level.
Without using too much power, Lillian's dodge is not as easy as others seem.
If you are not careful, you may be hit by the opponent, revealing your terrifying defense.
Da Da Da!!
Footsteps sounded one after another, and the sturdy body broke through the mist, and the fighting energy of the wind attribute surrounded the middle-aged martial artist, doubling his speed.
Almost at the sound of footsteps, he approached Lilian's side and punched her.
Lilian exerted force in her legs, her body flashed to the left, and she easily escaped the attack range of the middle-aged martial artist.
It looked like the middle-aged martial artist was swinging his fist in the air, Lilian breathed a sigh of relief, ten moves had passed, and it seemed that she had passed the second step of the assessment.
Staggered by, the corner of his eye swept over the middle-aged martial artist, but he saw a smile on his face.
Wrong!
Lily's head tightened, sensing the abnormality.
Where's his knife!
Scold!!
The sound of breaking wind hit, and Lilian subconsciously turned around:
A huge knife back wrapped in wind attribute fighting spirit slapped head-on...
