There was silence in the field, everyone was waiting for Claire's choice, no one believed that he would abstain, the children of the royal family had their pride, and they retreated without a fight, there was no psychological burden for ordinary contestants, but the children of the royal family would never retreat.

Everyone's eyes were cast, and there was a trace of expectation in their eyes, although Claire was not as good as Clarence who died in the hands of Butian in terms of talent, but with her quasi-mid-level strength, coupled with an excellent level suit, her actual combat power should not be underestimated, and she was qualified to compete for the top four.

At this moment, not only the audience outside the venue, but even Habia III, who was sitting in a tall building with a gloomy face and closed his eyes, slowly opened his eyes and looked at Claire, with a hint of expectation and helplessness in his eyes.

According to his original plan, he was ready to pin all his hopes on his fifth son Clarence, but Clarence's accidental death disrupted all his plans, so he hated and hated Butian extremely much.

Habiya III had great ambitions, sending his two best princes to this qualification challenge, according to his initial expectations, with the strength of his two princes, he would be able to win two of the top ten places in the pinnacle showdown, but if it was only two of the top ten, he was not satisfied.

In previous qualification challenges, those who won the championship in the pinnacle duel will not only receive supreme glory, but even the Holy Light Academy will attach great importance to it, and will therefore give a lot of rich resources to their countries and families, and there will be a certain chance that those with excellent qualifications will be promoted to Iron Star students by making exceptions.

And those who have won the peak duel championship in some intermediate dynasties have a chance to be directly promoted to Silver Star students, with high status, many privileges, and full cultivation by the Holy Light Academy.

With such great benefits, how could Habia III not take a chance, and even go so far as to empty the treasury and buy the two princes a luxurious suit armed to the teeth.

It's a pity that the five sons he is most looking forward to died in the duel, and with the strength of his four sons, the hope of winning the championship is even slimmer, and this beautiful idea can be said to have been cut off.

Facing nearly 10,000 expectant glances, Claire took a deep breath, and soon after Elena's words fell, her eyes showed determination, and she said loudly, "I challenge, Arnold." ”

As soon as these words came out, the temperature in the entire martial arts arena seemed to rise several degrees, and as Claire's eyes firmly locked on Arnold, the two collided with each other, and everyone couldn't help but feel that their hearts were slowing down, and the fiery anticipation in their eyes was even stronger.

"If the challenge is valid, you can go on stage and face off. ”

With Elena's announcement, Claire stepped on her feet, and her figure rose into the air, but in a moment, she had already swept into the ring where Arnold was on the opposite side, and there was a rumbling sound echoing when her footsteps landed, as if the surging energy in her body was ready to erupt.

Bu Tian clasped his hands to his chest, looking at the two opposing people in the ring not far away with great interest, he was also quite curious about this battle, curious about who was stronger and who was weak between the two.

For this silver-haired Arnold, he had been paying attention to him for a long time, and even when he first noticed this person at the banquet in the Fahua Hall of the Royal City, he felt a trace of danger, although this aura was very light, but it also made him a little wary of this person. And now that he is equipped with the destruction suit, his strength has increased greatly, but his vigilance against this person has not weakened, because of that dangerous aura, there is always zài.

I don't know if it's the same as Butian, and I also felt a hint of danger from that Arnold, Claire didn't act rashly after coming to power, but cautiously pulled out the long knife behind her back, and stood in place and didn't plan to take the initiative to attack.

"You'd better strike first, otherwise, there won't be another chance to take the lead. Arnold's eyes narrowed, as if smiling, the long sword at his waist did not move, but stood in place empty-handed, his clothes fluttering in the wind, quite a master's demeanor.

"Pretend to be a ghost!" Hearing Arnold's words, Claire felt as if she had suffered a great disgrace, her face instantly gloomy, and she was no longer afraid at the moment, her feet stomped on the ground, and her body instantly swept out like a flying arrow, and at the same time, her back shook, and the long knife choked out of the sheath and fell into her hand, and a sharp edge suddenly covered the audience.

"A hundred stacks of waves - a knife in the sea!"

Just as Claire's figure was approaching Arnold, a violent shout suddenly came out of his mouth, and the six-foot long knife in his hand suddenly burst into white light, and he slashed down with the knife in both hands!

The whole ring seemed to be divided into two halves at this moment, separated by the white light that bloomed with the knife, like a huge white canopy, forcibly dividing the entire ring into two, and even the invisible wind, at the moment when it touched the white light of the knife, it was cut off from the middle, turning into two violent winds and whistling in two directions.

"Such a strong knife, how can this Claire's strength be so strong?"

"Hmph, if this is his real combat power, then it is indeed strong, but yesterday the fifth prince Clarence died, don't you see something?"

"See what?"

"The moment he came to power, I noticed the jade belt he wore around his waist, Prince Clarence wore it yesterday, and I never saw Prince Clare wear such a jade belt yesterday. Can't you guess anything out of that?"

"In this way, isn't this jade belt an extremely rare amplification equipment, which can make people's combat power increase so much. ”

"That's not true, it is estimated that there will be some restrictions, otherwise such a treasure against the sky, I am afraid that even high-level giants will have hot eyes. ”

While everyone outside the audience was talking, Claire's knife slashed hard, about to slash on Arnold's body, and the roaring knife wind even cut a deep mark on the ground, but at this moment, a sudden change occurred, but it was Arnold's eyes that gently stretched out a finger in his cold eyes, and pointed at the huge blade in front of him at a speed that seemed to be slow and fast.

"What?" The pupils in Butian's eyes contracted, and the dangerous aura he felt from Arnold was even stronger at the moment when the other party pointed out.

It was a bizarre and utterly disproportionate fight, with one side slashing at a mighty sharp knife, and the other just holding out a finger, so lightly, like a sympathetic flicker.

This scene fell on everyone's eyes, not only Bu Tian was shocked, but there were also many other people who were incredibly shocked, and Claire, who was in it, was even more shocked At the same time, an unprecedented rage and humiliation surged into her heart, and the long knife in her hand was even sharper, and the energy infused with it was even more majestic, wanting to kill this arrogant person with one sword.

"Death for me!" Claire screamed violently, slashing into Arnold's fingers in an instant.

"Finger of Desolation!"

At the moment when his finger touched the sword, Arnold's words were cold, and on his finger, an ancient ring suddenly emitted a dark green glow, covering his entire palm, and at the top of the finger that touched the knife, a small dark green vein appeared, like a mysterious rune, exuding a strange aura of silence.

As soon as this aura appeared, Claire felt that the long knife in her hand was like iron meeting a magnet, firmly attached to Arnold's fingers, no matter how sharp the knife was, no matter how sharp the energy surged, it could not shake a single bit, and only in this moment, the light curtain formed by the sword of the sea suddenly collapsed, turning into a stream of energy along the dark green veins, blending into the other party's fingers.

"How is this possible?" Claire's face was shocked, and she couldn't remove the long knife in her hand even more with all her might, and when his face became even more ugly, Arnold sneered, his eyes seemed to turn into substance cold, and he said in a low voice: "Explosion!"

As soon as this explosive word came out, the strange dark blue veins on the top of his fingers suddenly contracted, Claire was startled, the hair stood on end, and she was about to retreat without hesitation, but just as his steps moved, an extremely dangerous and terrifying pressure suddenly came.

But it was the dark green veins in the contraction, which seemed to have reached a critical point in this instant, and suddenly shattered, and at the moment of its shattering, a fierce energy like a landslide and tsunami burst out, like a freed dragon, with a monstrous force on Claire's unavoidable body.

"Starlight Shield!" Claire screamed, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and as her words were shouted, the white jade belt around her waist burst openly, and a silver-white light like a starry light in the sky frantically converged, and in an instant, a square shield gathered from Claire's body to resist the impact of the incomparable energy.

The energy was agitated, and the terrifying destruction force swept through the entire ring, and many black rock blocks were shattered out of the Dao gap, with this silver and white shield body, Claire also resisted the powerful energy impact, although his body was shaken away, but he was not injured again and vomited blood.

"Not bad. Seeing that the other party had escaped, Arnold's eyes narrowed, he sneered in his mouth, casually put aside the long knife in his hand, and quickly approached Claire's side.

Without a hint, the moment Arnold's finger touched the silver and white shield, the previous aura of silence emanated again, and Claire's retreating body suddenly stopped, or rather, the silver and white shield on the surface of his body, which was firmly attached to Arnold's finger again.

The pupils in Butian's eyes contracted tighter, not alone, even Gaia's face gradually became stricter, and in the eyes that looked at Arnold, there was jealousy and attention for the first time, and the cold woman Mu Yan didn't know why, there was no trace of worry in her eyes, but she looked at the ring on Arnold's finger and muttered for a long time.
