Chapter 294: Discussion (1)
Lei Qingcheng led Li Chenglong and others to an open space 2km away from the temporary headquarters of the resistance army. This place used to be an amusement park, but it was severely damaged by zombie beasts. When they were preparing to build a residential area, Chen Anbang, the minister of the Dawn City Construction Department, had the ruins cleared out, which is why there is such a large open space.
泪倾城将这自己这边的三男两女高级异能者依次介绍了一下，分别是9级力量速度系异能者陈康、9级风系速度型异能者金梦琪、10级力量系异能者谢安、10级水系异能者葛文慧、10级火系水系异能者鲍永健。
According to the rules just discussed by both sides, the competition will be a best-of-three format, with one side sending out a player first, followed by the other side. The competition will be kept quiet and should not cause any unpleasantness. Li Chenglong smiled and said, "Miss Qin, let's flip a coin to see which side sends out first." Seeing that Lei Qingcheng agreed, he immediately took out a coin and tossed it in front of everyone. The coin slowly landed on the ground, and Li Chenglong's side sent out a player first.
Because the lowest level among the people Lei Qingcheng sent this time was level 9, of the seven people Li Chenglong brought, only Zhao Liying, Han Xiaoling, and Wang Shuang were level 9 ability users or awakened individuals, while Wu Ruilan and the others were currently only level 8. He went over and discussed with these team members, deciding that Wang Shuang, a level 9 dark attribute ability user, would be the first to go on stage.
Weapons were permitted in this sparring match. Wang Shuang knew that Lei Qingcheng would definitely send out a level 10 dual-elemental ability user, so she didn't hold back and took out the hilt of her crystal lightsaber from her combat suit, preparing for the first match. As Wang Shuang expected, Lei Qingcheng indeed sent out a level 10 dual-elemental ability user, Bao Yongjian, attempting to win the first match smoothly.
Seeing her opponent approach, Wang Shuang began channeling her supernatural power into the hilt of her energy lightsaber. Soon, a two-and-a-half-foot-long black lightsaber emerged from the hilt, gleaming with black light as Wang Shuang swung it. After so much practical use, the people of Dawn City had all discovered that the color of the energy lightsaber was influenced by the user's supernatural power. For example, wind-type supernatural users typically wielded cyan lightsabers, strength-type supernatural users' lightsabers were white with a grayish tinge, speed-type supernatural users' lightsabers were white, and so on.
If you don't use your own special ability and instead use crystals for power, the lightsaber will be the same color as the crystal. However, energy lightsabers can only be powered by crystals of level 5 to 8. Crystals that are too high a level will destroy the energy lightsaber's power system, while crystals that are too low a level will simply have too little energy to supply it.
The trade contract signed with Lei Qingcheng just now included an order for energy lightsabers. Lei Qingcheng had only heard Zhou Qiang and others describe the energy lightsabers used by the Dawn Army's superhumans, but she had never seen them in person. This time, she finally witnessed them firsthand.
Bao Yongjian held a crystal battle knife he had bought from Dawn City in his right hand, looking at the black energy lightsaber in Wang Shuang's hand with some surprise. However, he believed that as a level 10 dual-ability user of fire and water, even if his combat strength was among the top 5 in their 2nd Rebel Army, he was no match for the level 9 ability user in front of him.
As news spread that representatives from Dawn City and powerful superhumans from the resistance were sparring, a large number of civilians and soldiers from the resistance flocked to the open space to become spectators. To maintain order, Lei Qingcheng had to bring in some soldiers to keep order and have the spectators move back as much as possible.
Li Chenglong said from behind, "Wang Shuang, just fight, don't get hurt. After all, he's level 10 and has dual elemental abilities." Wang Shuang nodded and began the battle. The two didn't use their skills at first, but instead engaged in a fierce contest of combat techniques and movements. Every collision between the crystal battle sword and the energy lightsaber would splash out some black and white energy.
The crystal battle blade can also emit light after being infused with superpowers by a superhuman, but it can only emit white light, completely different from an energy lightsaber. Energy lightsabers are more powerful than crystal battle blades, but crystal battle blades have their own advantages: they are cheap to manufacture, quick to produce, have few limitations, and consume less superpower.
The two fought fiercely for three or four minutes, neither giving an inch, their exciting battle eliciting cheers from the audience. Bao Yongjian grew increasingly alarmed, wondering how the woman before him, despite being only a level 9 ability user, could display such formidable fighting power. He gripped his knife in his right hand and slashed at Wang Shuang with all his might. Wang Shuang parried with her sword, and taking advantage of the opening, he suddenly unleashed a stream of water from his left palm, shooting it towards Wang Shuang.
Wang Shuang tumbled several times, retreating, but Bao Yongjian had used seven or eight tenths of his full strength this time, and the water flow was incredibly fast, slamming into Wang Shuang immediately. At this moment, Lei Qingcheng nodded slightly, indicating satisfaction, and the other four rebels cheered. However, Bao Yongjian was not happy at all, because based on the sensations he had just received, he could feel that although the attack had hit, it hadn't truly struck.
Sure enough, before those people could even celebrate for a few seconds, they saw ripples spread across Wang Shuang's figure after she was struck, and she gradually disappeared. Bao Yongjian hurriedly turned around and swung his knife to block, but it was too late. Everyone saw Wang Shuang holding a dagger in her right hand against Bao Yongjian's throat as he turned around, while her left hand held a lightsaber to block his right hand as he tried to retaliate.
"Yay!" The women of the special forces cheered happily. Bao Yongjian said somewhat dejectedly, "I lost this round. I admit defeat." After saying that, he walked back to his own camp. Lei Qingcheng's chest heaved slightly, as if she was a little angry, but she quickly took a deep breath and said, "You won the first round. For the second round, we will send out Jin Mengqi, a level 9 wind-type speed-type dual ability user."
Li Chenglong nodded and said with a smile, "Although we won the first match against the stronger opponent, your ability user was an elemental ability user who focused on releasing various skills. On the other hand, although Wang Shuang's level is lower, she is a dark attribute ability user and has practiced her one-on-one combat skills for a long time. She is good at this kind of one-on-one duel. If it were on a real battlefield, your elemental ability user would have someone to protect her, and you would definitely win."
Since the other side had sent a level 9 dual-ability user, Li Chenglong assigned Han Xiaoling, who had been eager to try, to the task. Han Xiaoling would be 15 years old after the New Year. Although she hadn't fully grown up yet, she already looked graceful and poised, and it was clear that she would grow up to be a great beauty.
Han Xiaoling is currently a Level 9 B-rank Wind Chaser Leopard Awakener, specializing in wind-type abilities. Her opponent is a Level 9 wind-type speed-type dual ability user. According to the general potential classification, dual ability users are also at the B-rank potential. This duel can be described as a battle of equals.
Jin Mengqi looked to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. Seeing that Li Chenglong had actually sent a girl who was only fourteen or fifteen, she immediately laughed and said, "Little sister, you should go back first. Send an adult instead. I don't want to bully the younger one." Han Xiaoling wasn't angry at all, and smiled, saying, "How will we know who's stronger if we don't try? Please, elder sister, don't hesitate to teach me."
After speaking, Han Xiaoling bowed slightly, appearing very polite. Seeing that the young girl had already said that, Jin Mengqi felt she shouldn't say anything more and adopted an attack stance.
