Chapter 614: Arrogance
"Boom!"
The knights of the silver and gold armor stepped on the stage of the dueling arena at the same time.
The entire arena trembled, and countless heroes and spectators cheered on it, cheering for the fighters they supported.
Facing the audience, Lu Ping'an calmly raised his right arm, palm inward, and his right hand slowly clenched into a fist.
The victory-like posture drew even greater cheers.
That is Lu Ping'an's gratitude to the people who have supported him these days, and it is also his confidence that he is destined to win.
At this moment, under the gaze of the heroic spirits, in the eyes of the audience in the ancient city, Lu Ping'an did not look like a challenger or a weakling.
"Boom!"
And his opponent, the black spear that was thrown, and the big pit that blasted out in front of Lu Ping'an, also announced the beginning of this duel.
The two knights, very consciously riding their mounts, began to accelerate slowly.
Although they can already be called acquaintances, and even masters and apprentices in a sense, the two sides still have no plans to talk nonsense before the war...... As in previous encounters, they intended to talk about the battle itself.
One circle, two circles, like two beasts fighting against each other.
Look around, observe your opponent's armament and configuration, and look for your opponent's weaknesses and strengths.
Between the circles, the speed is slowly increasing, and the momentum and power are also accumulating.
On Lu Ping'an's side, the flames began to gather, and where the small flames passed, the strange and powerful purifying flames made the heroic spirits feel instinctive deterrence.
Hannah, on the other hand, was unusually calm, she just watched silently, admiring the changes in Lu Ping'an, and predicting his growth....... This kind of self-confidence, as if he had won the battle, made Lu Ping'an feel uncomfortable.
But in fact, she is already much more serious than when she was invited.
From the very beginning, she who had reached the peak of the Wave Axe Cutting Genre was not comparable to Lu Ping'an at all.
She invited Lu Ping'an to come over, and introduced the same grandmaster and partner to train her, and in the first three days, she even watched Lu Ping'an's practice with a smile, and gave advice from time to time.
This, in fact, is a kind of "humiliation" for a dueling opponent who is about to go to the battlefield..... At least, "contempt".
】
In a normal duel, whether they are doing everything to each other, or a gentleman's confrontation, at least before the battle, they will avoid suspicion.
Even if you do everything possible to gather information about your opponent in private, it's straightforward to watch your opponent's training...... Then, no matter who wins or loses in the future, you will be at the bottom of public opinion, and you will not be able to pass your own level.
Hannah would follow along the way, even pointing out often, there was only one possibility.....
"From the beginning, she didn't think I could win...... And everyone else, too, thinks the same way. ”
When the gap is so big that it is crushed, when the actual combat strength of the two sides is known to others at a glance, there is naturally no need to abide by this unspoken rule.
"Because 'I'm sure I'll win,' there's no need to avoid suspicion...... Too arrogant. ”
And the other Heroic Warriors also watched all this happen as a matter of course.
"You, what rank are you?"
Lu Ping'an, who has experienced the journey to the outer lands, knows that not all worlds have such a clear career system and rank as the earth, but there are still some quite some sayings at several key levels.
For example, the "Truth Level" of the Silent Mountain World and the "Rule-level" of the Earth both refer to outrageous powerhouses that can distort reality semi-permanently.
After being questioned by Lu Ping'an, Hannah smiled, and the big white teeth were really a bit infiltrating.
"I'm a little unlucky, and before I die, I still haven't broken through the rule level."
If you say this, you don't say it........ But Lu Ping'an understood, even if it was not at the peak law level, it should not be far behind.
But at this level, Lu Ping'an already knew that rank was not everything, and it was too common for the combat power of the same rank to be very different.
It's the current road that is safe and full of firepower, and it's like playing with someone who has just entered the fourth order.
But if it's a strong person who has been stuck in a bottleneck for a long time...... That's unlikely to be weak.
"From the beginning, no one thought I could win? So Kang's guidance, no matter how optimistic the Heroic Spirit Teacher, the meaning of his words is only to ask me to behave better...... It's nice to lose. ”
The only thing to be thankful for is that after Lu Ping'an awakened the martial arts in the last few days, Ms. Hannah left without realizing it....... This means that Lu Ping'an's chances of winning are no longer zero? It's still simple, giving the last bit of respect and preparation time.
Lu Ping'an had repeatedly overestimated Hannah's combat power, but when he really arrived on the battlefield, he realized that he was still underestimating.
“...... I may not be able to beat her mount. ”
The same mount, Lu Ping'an's small flame barely reached three meters in length, and it was a large "war horse", or rather, a swift dragon.
And that wurm...... It's a Tyrannosaurus rex!
"Boom!"
The circumambulation around each other in the gladiatorial arena is a war tour, and it is also the time for Hannah to see the gap clearly for Lu Ping'an.
The earth trembled under the trampling of the giant beast, it was far heavier than it appeared, and the blue light on its body showed that it was not a simple physical beast.
Most of its flesh is floating, otherwise its limb structure is simply not suitable for action on land.
But just drifting past fin-like limbs and grazing the ground caused a shocking earthquake.
Perhaps, compared to the Mother of Stone Dragons of the True Dragon, it is still a little insufficient, but it should not be too far behind...... From the very beginning, the two sides were several orders of magnitude apart.
Lu Ping'an took a deep breath and opened his eyes again, there was no sadness or joy.
What about a strong enemy? Without him, only war.
"Boom!"
The first to charge was actually a "little guy"-like flame beast.
The golden flames turned into deadly heat, and the knights on them also raised their black death lances, and the power of storm and death gathered in them.
Occupying the first-mover advantage, Lu Ping'an had already rushed for a few seconds before Hannah adjusted, and the wurm behemoth slowly turned to .......
"Buzz!"
But with a buzzing dragon's roar, the water dragon on the land floated strangely, but the speed had exceeded the accelerating Lu Ping'an.
Behemoths and beasts, dragons and knights, with a completely uncoordinated charge, completed the collision in the midline.
"Boom!"
A knight's charge of cavalry? The little flame and the road are not worthy!
The blue waterlight shield blocked the impact of the small flame, and the next moment, the water dragon's body slammed into the small flame, directly knocking the knight and mount away.
Lu Ping'an was directly knocked away, and the dual attacks of physics and elements made him lose his balance.
Half-ranging, Lu Ping'an held it down before the angry little flame charged again...... In the face of such an opponent, a reckless charge is approximately tantamount to suicide.
The female knight just looked at Lu Ping'an silently, with no pity or hesitation in front of her....... The only reason why she didn't attack was that Lu Ping'an still hadn't shown any flaws, and he was always on guard against Hannah.
Both sides are still trying.
"Buzz!"
And the water dragon shouted again, only this time, there was some more emotion in it.
The part that hit the small flame before was already "golden..... The holy flame of purification, on which is blazing.
Although the power of the water elemental that was mobilized was obviously suppressing the injury.
And judging from the flames that were quickly extinguished, the energy of the two sides should not be of the same level.
But it also means that the first tentative collision hurts more than just a small flame.
Perhaps, such a wound is roughly equivalent to a human scalding a finger, but the wound does exist, and it should be a little painful.
"Whoa!"
The small flame roared excitedly, and the flames erupted from the orifices of its flesh, so that the strong enemy that knocked it away in one fell swoop activated its fighting intent and desire to kill.
Wounds? Exhaustion? Fear? It wasn't a problem at all for this beast, which didn't know anything about pain and fatigue.
"Boom!"
It turned into a golden fireball again, and it was about to pounce...... Lu Ping'an grabbed the small flame, and at the same time, he used the ability with the other hand to sense its flame intensity.
“...... OK. ”
While appeasing Xiao Huo's desire to attack, he was relieved to find that Xiao Huo was still in good condition.
The evolution of the small flame is obvious, if it was it before, it may have been seriously injured, but now that most of the flesh has been cremated, the loss is not great...... If the small flame is seconded, this can't be hit.
But at this time, looking at Hannah, who was still indifferent, felt that her silence that had not moved all this time was still ...... Dissatisfied?
Dissatisfaction with what? Not happy with your weakness? No, she's not like that.
She would happily look at Lu Ping'an's unfamiliar martial arts, and point out the shortcomings, occasionally make some jokes, and talk about the learning experience of her weak juniors in the past, she is also full of nostalgia and joy.
She has never despised the habit of being weak.
Every time Lu Ping'an makes progress, every mistake, no matter how basic it is, no matter how ridiculous it is, she can guide it with a smile.......
"Oh, I see, she's upset with me...... Arrogant. ”
Of course, it is arrogant, even now, even in the face of this kind of opponent who crushes him, Lu Ping'an still has luck.
“....... I still thought about defeating her with just martial arts. Oh, forget it. I know, Hannah, stop glaring at me, I'll give it my all. ”
As a result, Lu Ping'an's legion also appeared in the arena.
