Chapter 532 Three-Party Competition
Just as Ma Liang and Liu Ruyan were locked in fierce combat, Yun Lan, who was intently watching the fight, was suddenly hugged from behind. She was about to get angry when she saw a head peek out from her right; it was Han Xiaoling who had hugged her from behind.
Yunlan asked with a smile, "Why are you here? Don't you two have any missions today?" Zhao Liying and the other members of the second section walked over at this time. She replied, "Team Leader Yun, our second section just finished a mission yesterday, so Team Leader Li gave us a day off. But we didn't rest. We went to the mecha brigade to visit the new mechas this morning. As soon as we heard there was a competition here, we rushed over."
Yunlan nodded: "Alright, let's take a look together. A battle between level 13 three-element ability users is not a common sight."
At this moment, the battle between Liu Ruyan and Ma Liang also reached a fever pitch. After dozens of rounds of close combat, the two realized that neither could defeat the other, so they simply distanced themselves and began to fight with their supernatural abilities.
Han Xiaoling watched the various types of superpowers flying around and asked Yun Lan beside her, "Sister-in-law, who do you think has the advantage between them right now?" Yun Lan didn't answer but asked in return, "You're also a level 13 Awakener now, so let me ask you, who has the advantage between these two right now?"
Han Xiaoling smiled and said, "I feel that Ma Liang still has the advantage, mainly because of the elemental advantage. Sister Liu Ruyan's three elements are water, fire, and earth, while Ma Liang's three elements are wood, lightning, and ice. Lightning and ice are relatively special abilities, and their power is stronger than ordinary elements. Moreover, the most important thing is that Ma Liang's attributes can be both offensive and defensive, while Sister Liu Ruyan's offensive ability is good, but her defense is not so good."
While Han Xiaoling shared her insights, Ma Liang made the first move: "Absolute Freeze! Giant Pillar Cage! Lightning Strike!" He slammed his hand on the ground, and the arena was immediately covered by a thick layer of ice. Then, thick wooden stakes surrounded Liu Ruyan completely, and lightning began to strike down from the sky towards the surrounded Liu Ruyan.
Everyone was amazed by Ma Liang's smooth and skillful maneuvering, but they immediately became worried about Liu Ruyan, who was surrounded inside.
Liu Ruyan's reaction speed was also incredibly fast. She quickly rolled twice on the ground to dodge the two bolts of lightning that struck down, and then shouted, "Heaven and earth collapse!"
The arena immediately began to shake violently, and the pillars surrounding her toppled one by one due to the massive tremors. As soon as she jumped out, Liu Ruyan's hands moved swiftly: "Double Dragon Strike!" A water dragon and a fire dragon flew from her left and right hands respectively, rushing towards Ma Liang.
Ma Liang quickly used two ice shields to barely neutralize the power of the Twin Dragon Strike, but as soon as the ice shields disappeared, Liu Ruyan, wielding the Dragon Fang Dagger, had already attacked. Ma Liang hurriedly grabbed the Dragon Fang Dagger to block, and the two began a fierce close-quarters battle again.
At this moment, Li Chenglong, acting as the referee, stood in the middle of the arena near the edge, continuously releasing energy with both hands to form a barrier. This barrier protected both the warriors watching the battle and the arena from damage caused by the fight between level 13 experts.
Yang Liu sighed and said, "Strong people are never accidental. These two can use different types of superpowers so skillfully and combine them so well. They must have gone through a long period of hard training. And if we're only talking about their superpowers, their fighting ability is also not weak at all. They must have put in several times more effort than others to achieve this."
The fierce battle between the two lasted for half an hour before it ended. In the end, Ma Liang successfully launched a surprise attack with a lightning strike. While Liu Ruyan was busy dodging the lightning strike due to her lack of energy, Ma Liang struck Liu Ruyan with a palm and sent her flying out of the arena.
Feng Ke rushed over and helped Liu Ruyan up. Finding that aside from her disheveled hair and some dust on her clothes, she was unharmed, he was relieved. Liu Ruyan walked to the center of the arena and shook hands with Ma Liang. Their exciting fight and subsequent performance earned applause and cheers from everyone present.
After the match between the two, Zhao Liying suggested to Li Chenglong, "Captain Li, I have an idea. Comrade Feng Ke from the Special Forces team and I reached level 13 at about the same time, and we are both A-level Awakeners. So I would like to have a match with her. I wonder if that's possible?"
Zhao Liying is a Level 13 A-grade Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit Awakener, while Feng Ke is a Level 13 A-grade Seven-Colored Python Spirit Awakener. Just as Zhao Liying said, they are the same in terms of both level and potential.
Yunlan looked at Feng Ke: "Sister, the Second Division is challenging our special forces team. I wonder if you dare to accept the challenge." Feng Ke smiled, took out a long sword, walked to the center of the arena, and said: "Alright, I will represent our special forces team and accept the challenge from the Second Division comrades!"
The longsword in Feng Ke's hand was neither the ion sword used by high-level superhumans in the military, nor a crystal sword or a superalloy sword. It was a trophy she had won after a duel with a Celestial warrior; it was made of cosmic alloy and was generally stronger than the ion sword.
Li Chenglong looked at Zhao Liying and said, "Just do your best. You are an Awakened One who is more of a support type, while she is more skilled in combat. Remember not to fight head-on."
Zhao Liying nodded, took out her bound weapon, the Shadow Twin Blades, and walked towards the center of the arena. The two level 13 Awakened Ones, both beautiful women, were about to begin a fierce competition, immediately causing a sensation. Staff and soldiers of the Special Forces brigade flocked to the arena, many even taking out their crystal phones to film.
The Dawn Army manages Crystal Phones in two ways: during peacetime and during wartime. Wartime management is extremely strict, sometimes even involving the installation of jammers, while peacetime management is more lenient, as long as it doesn't interfere with training and rest. Even so, phones must be turned off and used for sleeping after 10 PM.
As Feng Tian's niece, Feng Ke was also known for her decisive and efficient style. After exchanging greetings in the center of the arena, the two immediately began their fight.
Zhao Liying is a Level 13 A-grade Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit Awakener, skilled in using mental attacks and sneak attacks, while Feng Ke is a Level 13 A-grade Seven-Colored Python Spirit Awakener, best at using strength and sudden attacks to strike opponents.
Zhao Liying knew she was at a disadvantage in terms of strength, so she absolutely could not confront Feng Ke head-on. Therefore, she used her agile movements to dodge Feng Ke's attacks time and time again, and tried to launch sneak attacks on her opponent while dodging.
However, Feng Ke was also very experienced in combat and adopted a steady and methodical strategy. Therefore, the two were locked in a very tense stalemate for a time.
"Phantom Kill!" Seeing that she couldn't break the deadlock, Zhao Liying made the first move. Suddenly, more than a dozen Zhao Liyings appeared out of thin air in the arena, surrounding Feng Ke and rapidly circling her.
Feng Ke had encountered opponents who used similar moves before. She knew that only one of the Zhao Liying figures moving rapidly around her was real, and the others were probably just illusions. As long as she could find the real one, she could see through this move.
She released her spiritual energy to carefully sense the surroundings and suddenly felt that the energy emanating from one of the Zhao Liyings was much higher than the others, so she grabbed her long sword and charged over.
Sure enough, the moment she swung her knife down, Zhao Liying parried with her Dragon Fang dagger. Just when Feng Ke thought she had succeeded, Zhao Liying suddenly vanished, and in that instant, Feng Ke felt a chill on the back of her neck as a Dragon Fang dagger was pressed against her.
"The outcome is decided!" Li Chenglong said immediately upon seeing the situation. Zhao Liying put away her Dragon Fang Dagger and said with a smile, "Thank you for the favor. Fortunately, this is the first time I've used this move, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have succeeded so easily."
Feng Ke smiled, but she immediately asked, "I clearly sensed that one had the most energy, so why was it a decoy?"
Zhao Liying explained, "Actually, these phantoms are both real and fake. What you sensed was indeed correct; that was my true form. However, after reaching level 13, I can switch between these phantoms at any time. Fortunately, you and I aren't particularly skilled at large-scale, powerful attacks, otherwise this move of mine might not have been very effective."
The crowd was surprised that the fight would go on so quickly, lasting less than three minutes, but they still gave the two a warm round of applause and cheers.
Next, the special forces team, the special operations brigade, and other members of the Second Section took turns to compete and exchange skills with each other, enjoying the afternoon to the fullest.
