Chapter 204
“Looks like this guy has really irritated Princess Crimson Moon!”
The spectators gazed at the ring shrouded in red light. None of them had expected Princess Crimson Moon to exert this movement at the beginning. It seemed she wanted to defeat Jiang Chen as soon as possible.
“Only those who have achieved the state of being an integral part of the universe are qualified to practice this magical method.”
“People shrouded in red light feel like they’re in outer space. Their bodies are out of their control and their eyesight and hearing are affected!”
“Do you think the masked man will die or just lose?”
In the spectators’ eyes, Princess Crimson Moon’s victory was secured. The only suspense was whether Jiang Chen would survive.
In the ring, Jiang Chen was greatly shocked by the scene in front of him. He felt like he was in a red world. The surrounding scenery hadn’t changed, but the crowd had disappeared. A bloody moon hung over his head.
Jiang Chen had only known that the status of being an integral part of the nature could be used to improve one’s practice.
It was a surprise for him that 500 years later, it could be combined with martial arts techniques, thanks to which Crimson Moon could not only exert the supernatural method, but improve her knife method.
“Great! Great!” Jiang Chen suddenly cheered for her. He could only make progress when he knew what he lacked.
He took advantage of the sudden enlightenment he had just received and tried to combine his status as an integral part of nature with his knife method, too.
“Ghost Strike to Kill: Destroy!”
Jiang Chen attacked actively by throwing his knife out once again.
“Stupid man. You’re so annoying!”
“Four Movements of the Holy Moon: Earth Irritates!”
There was an impatient look on Princess Crimson Moon’s face. The momentum of her knife became more astonishing. The two scimitars overlapped, and the ring started to shake. The earth seemed unable to bear the power of her attack.
“It’s so formidable! Princess Crimson Moon has made such big progress!”
“Although her rank hasn’t risen, she must be hoping she can take advantage of today’s competition to improve it.”
“Four Movements of the Holy Moon includes Heaven Awakens, Earth Irritates, Thunderbolt, and Athanasia. The masked man has forced the princess to exert the second movement.”
“Yeah, he cracked her mystical method, too. Did you hear? The masked man also knows how to be an integral part of nature.”
They had thought Jiang Chen would be defeated in one attack, but he had managed to stay in the ring until this moment. It seemed what Chu Luo said was the truth.
But of course, Wind Mark’s supporters didn’t agree.
“The princess didn’t use all of her power. It’s only a matter of time until the masked man loses. It’s true he’s held out until now, but do you think Wind Mark couldn’t achieve the same?”
It would be difficult to defeat Princess Crimson Moon, but it wasn’t so difficult to hold out for some time when the princess wasn’t making any all-out attacks. Wind Mark could indeed achieve this as well.
“He hasn’t used the knife attack that he used to defeat Wind Mark, because that attack’s power is trivial when he’s defending,” the fat woman said again. She tried her best to belittle Jiang Chen.
“Don’t forget that the princess is in the late stage, and the masked man is only in the middle stage. If it were the opposite, what would happen?” one smart guy realized a key point and reminded the others of it.
Yeah, the exchange of the knife methods’ blows were so eye-catching that everyone had forgotten that the most important factor to influence the result was the difference between their states.
Like Wind Mark, Princess Crimson Moon was in the completed late stage. Jiang Chen was in the beginning of the middle stage, but if one ignored martial arts techniques, the two were neck-and-neck when their energies collided.
“It’s impossible. It doesn’t make sense.”
“There is one possibility. The masked man’s holy points are the same as the princess’.”
“He’s accumulated holy points?”
That was what geniuses would normally do, but it wasn’t without limit.
While they were discussing, the two fighters’ energies collided once again, and this time, one of them was at a disadvantage. It was Jiang Chen.
“Oh?”
But some sharp observers also saw Jiang Chen looked more relaxed when Princess Crimson Moon exerted her second movement.
It meant he had advanced!
However, most people couldn’t see it. Most people thought he had suffered losses in two consecutive movements and this was already a sign of defeat.
“See? He isn’t as powerful as what Chu Luo claimed at all!” the fat woman said complacently.
“Chu Luo, what cards does your apprentice brother have in his hand that the fat woman should shut up? Just give me a hint.”
Meng Feifei was on Jiang Chen’s side, unknowingly. She found the fat woman annoying.
“Come closer.” Chu Luo hesitated for a while and finally decided this didn’t have to be a secret.
“Eh?”
Meng Feifei was pleasantly surprised. She moved closer to Chu Luo immediately.
“My apprentice brother is a swordsman.”
Meng Feifei stood rooted to the spot.
