Chapter 8: The Day of the Trial (Part II)
"Let's check if there is an essence god named Sous or Thorne who has joined the Guild recently."
Josiah commanded his men.
"Yes, sir."
"It stands to reason that only one envoy will be assigned to infiltrate an area, could it be that Lord Archie thinks the progress here is too slow, so he ......?" Josiah played with the glass beads in his hand and thought solemnly.
"Anyway, it's time to speed up."
……
Josiah waited anxiously in his office, but he didn't see any results, and it was late in the evening, and the setting sun was staining the sky red.
"Lord Josiah!" Just then, there was a knock at the door, and Josiah hurriedly stood up, walked over and opened the door.
**********************
The trial is in full swing.
The match is: Artoria vs Sawus
"Artoria, are you trying to escape?"
Thorne looked ahead, he had already burst out of all his strength, but the guy on the other side still looked extremely relaxed.
"Come on, Your Highness!"
Artoria didn't say any nonsense, he just clenched the sword in his hand, and then, rushing towards Thorne.
Thorne also sprinted forward at the same time, neither of them using skills, because, this is a life-and-death battle, so, they only need to do their best, it is enough.
"Boom!"
The two figures collided together.
In an instant, a strong storm spread from the place where the two met, and the surrounding air was compressed to the limit, forming ripples and spreading.
This situation quickly attracted the attention of the rest of the nearby teenagers.
The showdown between Thorne and Artoria caught the attention of most people, and they rushed over to check it out.
When they saw the state of the two clearly, they couldn't help but show a shocked expression on their faces.
At this moment, Thorne's muscles are high and bulging, full of strength, and his strength is already above Altoria.
"Sure enough, it's a battle of geniuses!"
"His Highness and Artoria are both in the early stage of the Seventh Order, but His Highness's strength is more than one level stronger than that of Artoria."
Onlookers were talking.
And at this moment, Thorne and Artoria have fought more intensely.
Although Artoria has far superior mental power to Thorne, he is not proficient in the art of fighting, so in the face of Thorne's wild attack, Artoria is losing ground one after another.
"Hahaha, it's really amazing!"
Thorne laughed, a look of excitement in the corner of his eye.
He knew that this time, he was finally going to win.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, Thorne roared, and then, leaping into the air, his feet kicked at Artoria with the terrifying wind.
"Bang!"
A dull sound was heard.
Artoria didn't even have a chance to react, and was kicked straight out.
After rolling in the air a few times, he fell directly to the ground, spitting blood from his mouth.
"Thoas wins!"
"Agreed, Artoria." Thorne smiled wickedly and reached out to pull Altoria to his feet.
Artoria hung her head a little, looked straight at Thorne, and after a moment's pause, grabbed Thorne's hand and stood up.
"Your Highness, you won, thank you for making me understand the gap."
Artoria's demeanor was undiminished, and then he shook his head bitterly, this defeat was a wake-up call for him.
He had thought that his strength had reached its peak, but now he realized that he was nothing at all.
"Well, in that case, then ......"
Thorne put away his arrogant look at this time, nodded, and was about to continue to say something.
Suddenly, a commotion erupted.
Thorne frowned and turned his head to look, only to find that the crowd that was resting was actually in a commotion, and there was a tendency to get more and more intense.
"It's the king, and the king has come up to watch the battle."
"See the king!"
Everyone saw Kukabi kneeling down.
"Get up."
Kukabi waved his hand.
Kukabi's voice was very low, and after hearing his order, everyone slowly got up, and then stood aside respectfully.
"Sous!"
Kukabi's eyes were on Thorne's.
"Yes!"
Thorne nodded, and walked out.
Kukabi's gaze stayed on Thorne's body for a long time, and then he slowly asked, "Good performance." ”
"Who's going to play against whom next?"
Montau, who was standing beside him, replied: "King, the next battle is Thorne against Thorne. ”
"Then let's start at the appointed time"
Kukabi walked to the viewing platform with that, his tone calm.
Looking at his father, who was ignoring him in the slightest, Sous's eyes were like a torch, and he thought to himself, "I must win this battle and prove my true strength to my father." ”
"Buzz!"
With a trembling sound, Suo Um stood straight in the ring with a long sword in his hand.
"Sous!"
Thorne looked at Sous indifferently.
"Hehe, Sous, I will never lose this battle."
Thorne's face was filled with confidence, and he raised the silver-white sword in his hand.
"Then let me see."
Sous replied lightly.
"Huh!"
Thorne was the first to move, his speed was fast, as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Sous.
The sword in his hand sent a chill and stabbed at Sous.
Souss' eyes froze, and he felt the huge killing intent emanating from Thorne's body, and the fierce killing aura seemed to be able to tear him apart.
Such a terrible killing intent made Sous cold.
"Whew~~"
"Bell!"
The weapons of the two collided together, and a strong and dazzling spark burst out.
A smile appeared on the corner of Thorne's mouth, Sous's strength was not bad, but he still couldn't stop himself.
"Whoosh!"
Thorne approached Sous again, swung his right fist and slammed it into Sous's head, his move was very simple, but it contained a terrifying power.
Seeing this, Sous could only use his right hand to fend off Thorne's attack.
"Bang!"
Their fists collided with each other, and Souston felt a tremendous force come at him, and he was forced to take a few steps back.
Thorne didn't pursue, he reined in his breath and waited for Soas to recover before attacking again.
Thorne and Thornes went back and forth, fighting fiercely, each of them fighting fast and slow, and their moves were deadly, without any dragging.
"Bang bang bang!"
With a few muffled sounds, they parted their bodies, both of them gasping for breath, although the duel just now was short, but its consumption was extremely amazing.
"Whew...... Whew......"
Thorne narrowed his eyes slightly, took a few deep breaths, adjusted his emotions, and then rushed towards Thaus again.
Soas gritted his teeth, he knew he wasn't Thorne's opponent, so he had no choice but to resist at the moment.
"Boom!"
Thorne slammed the whip at Thorne, who blocked Thorne's whip with his arm.
However, Thorne's other leg kicked Thorne hard into the chest, and Thaus hurriedly raised his left hand to block Thorne's attack.
"Bang!"
Thorne's toes touched Thorne's palm, and Thaus fell back some distance in pain.
Thorne seized the opportunity and quickly moved to Thaus's side, his fist slamming into Thaus with the sound of the wind.
"Bang!"
The punch slammed into Soaus's abdomen, and Sous flew upside down.
Thorne took advantage of the victory, and he leaped to his feet, leaping into the air, his right hand clenched into a fist, and punched Sous.
Sous struggled to his feet, reaching out to prop himself up on the ground, barely holding his figure. He looked at Thorne in the sky, his eyes full of determination.
His hands were behind his back, secretly building up strength.
"Drink~~"
Sous roared, and his hand was thrown at Thorne in the sky.
"Whew!"
A turquoise dagger sliced through the void and shot out towards Thorne in the sky.
Thorne's pupils constricted, and he felt the dangerous aura coming from the dagger, and he hurriedly changed direction, avoiding the flying dagger.
But Thorne was too late, his arm was grazed by the dagger, and blood flowed down his sleeve.
"Hmph, don't you have the ability? You can only start a sneak attack, right? Thorne's brow furrowed, a little annoyed.
Due to the rapid depletion of his physical strength, Suus gasped for air and did not speak.
Sous's eyes scanned his surroundings, trying to find a way to do it.
Suddenly, he seemed to sense something, so his gaze locked on one spot, and then his figure flickered and appeared in the space, while his right hand grasped the blade.
"Space teleportation!"
Thorne had a smile on his face: "You actually control the power of space?" Sous, let me see when you do that. ”
Thorne's right hand gripped the sword tightly, and he stared at Thaus coldly, his eyes full of playful expressions, he had already seen through the details of Thaus.
Although Sous has mastered the power of space, he has not mastered any spatial skills, and his fighting method is entirely based on his brutal body and terrifying strength, as well as the ability to teleport in the unfathomable space.
But this also gives Thorne a chance, because Thorne is best at melee combat, if it is that move, it is just a good time to test how far his spiritual power has cultivated, thinking of this, Thorne is very much looking forward to it.
"Boom!"
Thorne's wrist flicked, and the long sword in his hand turned into afterimages, directly blocking the space in all directions of Sous.
Unfazed, Sous gripped the dagger in his left hand, and with a low roar, it slammed out.
"Bang!"
The sword collided with the dagger, and Thauth was once again forced back three steps in a row by Thorne.
Seeing this, the corners of Thorne's mouth outlined a smile, although Thorne was strong, but compared to Thorne, it was still far behind.
Thorne's body turned into a black shadow, and his legs were mixed with the howling wind, kicking at Thorne's body.
"Brother Thorne, hurry up and hide!" Sophie and Sirosa's hearts were in their throats.
Seeing that Sous was motionless, he stood still and let Thorne kick him.
"Is that trick coming? Hmph, I'd like to see how powerful it is. Thorne thought to himself.
But just as Thorne was about to approach Thorne's body, he noticed that an unpredictable smile appeared on the corner of Thorne's mouth, and his figure moved and disappeared in front of Thorne's eyes, so that Thorne could not catch his trace at all.
Thorne was stunned, this guy actually ran away? How is this possible, just as Thorne was thinking, his ears twitched slightly, and then, the figure of Sous appeared behind him.
He felt an indescribable aura, and Sous's eyes were like black holes capable of devouring all life.
"Pupil Devouring Technique Beginner - Phantom!" Thauth let out a low snort, and countless black butterflies flew out of his eyes to surround Thorne, and that cold feeling poured into Thorne's body, and he felt himself shake all over his body, and his body stiffened.
Thorne shook his head for a moment, but his reaction was relatively fast, and he immediately made a defensive stance.
Thorne had just made a defensive stance, the black light in Sous's eyes was flourishing, and in the next second, Soas slapped his palm, Thorne's body sank slightly, his eyes widened, and he flew out of the ring in disbelief.
"Ahem...... This...... Why ......" Thorne spat out a mouthful of blood and coughed violently.
Thorne was shocked: "This is impossible, it wasn't an illusion just now, what is it, no matter how strong your spiritual power is, you can't resist it, and you can't shake your mind inadvertently." ”
The audience was silent, and everyone's eyes fell on Thorne, a scene that exceeded their expectations.
Who would have thought that His Highness, who had always been extremely talented, would be defeated, or even easily defeated.
This is simply unbelievable, after all, they have never heard of Thorne have such strength?
"I declare, Thorne wins!" Seeing that his beloved disciple won, Monto couldn't hide his joy and said.
He had long known that his beloved apprentice was diligent and hardworking, but he really didn't expect Thorne to be so powerful and able to defeat His Highness by leapfrogging.
Thorne struggled to stand up, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, glanced at Sous, and said indifferently: "What was it just now, it was definitely not an illusion, what was it?" ”
"This is an adventure of mine, and I have promised the teacher, and I can't just say it." Sous replied earnestly.
Thorne still didn't give up, he stared at Thorne deadly: "It's not that you have cultivated some evil arts, this is definitely not a righteous exercise, if you do something to betray the Giant Continent Empire, I will not hesitate to get rid of you." ”
"I didn't."
Sous shook his head in rejection, and he continued to explain, "Actually, it's not an illusion, it's called 'Pupil Swallowing', and it's an understanding of will. ”
"Oh? Will? Thorne looked surprised.
That's all I can say.
Thorne didn't ask any further, he knew he wouldn't tell him if he asked again.
Sous glanced at Thorne, then turned and stepped out of the ring.
Clarke and Cilusa were looking at Thorne with excitement on their faces, and it was undoubtedly something to celebrate as Suas made it to the finals.
"Wait a minute, it's Soas who comes out on top in this trial." Kukabi announced without any waves.
"What, is it your own son Wang Shang can be so biased, obviously Brother Thorne won!" Sirosa was very angry and questioned.
Kukabi paused for a moment and continued: "Thorne practiced the evil art of the Dark Church, and his crimes were extremely heinous, and he was permanently expelled from the Giant Land Empire, effective immediately. ”
There was a sigh in the venue.
"Your Majesty, I, I don't, please, please don't let me leave the Giant Continent Empire." Sous was stunned at first, then knelt down and pleaded.
"It's useless to talk too much, come on, take him away." Kukabi brushed his sleeves away.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Ahh Let me go, I won't allow you to do this to me! Sous shouted frantically.
Thorne saw Sous crying bitterly, he couldn't help sighing, he understood that the king still cared for Sous very much, and over the years, Sous had been loyal to his father and didn't dare to have the slightest second heart.
Thorne shook his head, this may be the sorrow of Sous, his identity is destined for all this.
Thorne walked slowly into the ring, and he bowed faintly to the surroundings and thanked him, "Thank you." ”
