Chapter 327 - Test
“I really didn’t expect…”
Viktor tightly held the handles of the seat while watching the battle before him intensely.
It wasn’t that Viktor wasn’t aware of Barter’s improvement. Usually, he wasn’t particularly smart and wasn’t sensitive towards politics, and his political wisdom could be said to be the worst among the leaders of the four major guilds. But despite this, Purple Lily’s reputation had never dropped. It was because of Barter’s tyrannical strength. Judging from his strength, it could be said that he placed first among the four major guilds.
So it’s not strange for him to reach the peak of Swordmaster level.
But that dark-haired young man actually displayed powerful sword intent that was no weaker than Barter’s. This made Viktor very shocked. Even though Rhode had demonstrated his strong swordsmanship skills in the battle with Mobis, he was only a little bit surprised by it. Since he was a major guild leader, he had traveled a lot for many years and had seen many kinds of geniuses. Although some people thought what Rhode had done was difficult to achieve, but to Viktor, it wasn’t uncommon. Hhe knew that in the Country of Law, there were a lot of elite troops among the Temple Guardian Knights and most of them were in their 20s, but they were all very skillful. Each of them had a Master level strength, and these young people were recruited from the temple believers to protect the balance and jurisprudence of the continent. Their numbers weren’t much, but there were at least 500 people. So even if Rhode’s performance was eye-catching, for people with broad insight, his ability was not that terrifying.
However, the fact that Rhode had reached the peak of the master level meant that his ability was on another level. Just another step, he would have broken through the mortal limit and entered a legendary level, but it would be very difficult to achieve. For ordinary people, breaking through the master level was already extremely hard. But for those talented geniuses, it wasn’t that difficult as long as they persevered. Just like him, he had been stuck at the master level for about five to six years. He had tried to go further, but he still couldn’t become one with his swordsmanship and display the sword intent. Only the people who had reached this level could understand just how difficult it was to break this bottleneck, as if one was trying to fly to the sky while carrying heavy shackles.
However, this young man actually did it.
Thinking until here, Viktor gazed at Rhode oddly. This young man was still in his early 20s, but Barter used 25 years to achieve it. It could be seen that this young man might become another legendary figure in the Munn Kingdom…
In fact, Viktor’s guess wasn’t exactly right, because what Rhode had shown was only a facade.
Even Lize was a little surprised when she heard it. It was no wonder; among them, Anne’s strength was the strongest. If it was magic, Marlene might be the first, but physical attack was Anne’s specialty. Unlike Marlene, who had limited combat experiences, Anne was a mercenary with a lot of combat experience, not to mention a unique sense of intuition and keen observation. So in just a glance, she could see that both parties hadn’t yet unleashed their full force and was only testing each other’s limit.
After they gradually figured each other out, the next attack would be a fatal blow.
Thinking until here, Anne couldn’t help but get excited. She widened her eyes as she watched the battle. She was waiting for that moment to come.
It’s almost time.
This time, Rhode once again fled and dodged Barter’s attack. The opponent’s counterattack was indeed troublesome. Although Rhode could be sure that Barter couldn’t keep up with his speed, but he was different from Mobis. Mobis was the scheming type; naturally, he would thought more about it. He hadn’t yet reached the peak level, so his responses were more sensitive. It could be his strength, but it was also his weakness. Barter had reached the peak level and was a typical fighting madman. Although Rhode’s speed couldn’t confuse him, it was difficult for him to find a gap to attack.
It can’t be helped.
The longer this fight got dragged on, the more it would be unfavorable for him. Rhode’s body wasn’t strong enough to withstand Barter’s attack. Even though he hadn’t felt tired yet, Rhode was very clear that if he couldn’t change the situation soon, even without Barter’s attack, he would surrender like a dead dog.
Since that’s the case, there’s only one solution.
Thinking until here, Rhode’s eyes flashed. He flipped his left hand, and soon, a card appeared.
