Chapter 633: Alexander’s Fist
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
“What’s wrong? This isn’t your full strength at all! Are you underestimating me?” Even with the advantage, Alexander did not seem happy.
Bang!
After another collision, Alexander pulled away. The battle just now only lasted over ten seconds, but Xiao Lin already looked to be in a difficult situation. His training armor was a complete mess. It could not handle the fist aura at all. However, Xiao Lin’s breath was completely steady, which meant that he might be taxed, but he still had much more left in the tank.
“Hey! Are you underestimating me?” Alexander narrowed his eyes at Xiao Lin.
“No, I just want to see how long I can hold you back in this state.” Xiao Lin earnestly shook his head and denied it. He would obviously not underestimate an S-rank talent holder, but his Ruin state could not be used for too long. He wanted to see how much he could do under Miracle.
Alexander might have seen through it. The man snorted, “How boring. But, I won’t be holding back anymore. It’s a spar, but if I really injure you, then just admit that you’re unlucky!”
Not waiting for Xiao Lin’s answer, Alexander attacked again. It was the same as earlier. There were not any flashy moves; it was just a straightforward charge and swinging of his fists.
Xiao Lin understood that there was no way he could stand up to his opponent in terms of pure strength. He might be in Miracle now, but even with Ruin, he might not hold the absolute advantage. That was why he immediately decided to throw his attributes into Agility, and the training sword in his hand started to move in a confusing manner.
Xiao Lin’s swordsmanship was already at the elementary level after training so much. Both his power and dexterity had greatly increased in that regard. On top of his Phantom Steps, as well as his enhancements under Miracle, his dodging ability was already far above a Bronze rank.
Xiao Lin constantly dodged around in the training hall, his feet not stopping for a moment. Dodging was actually a very deep subject. Skill themselves only provided the most basic of footwork, and the most important thing was actually experience and mastery.
During the half a year’s time, after all the battles Xiao Lin had gone through, no matter in the monthly examinations or in the New World, on top of his Academic Genius talent increasing his understanding, he far exceeded any first-year student. No, he even far exceeded any first-year student from all the academies.
Alexander’s face had been furious, as he thought that Xiao Lin had been underestimating him, but his expression quickly turned heavy. Alexander’s fighting style was very straight and direct, and focused on using his strength to overcome any skill discrepancies. In the face of absolute power, any skills or techniques would be suppressed.
Yet now, he suddenly realized that Xiao Lin’s skills far exceeded anyone he had ever faced before. Xiao Lin’s speed might not be the fastest, but the guy knew how to dodge at the best moments.
After the initial clash of blade and fist, Xiao Lin continued to avoid another clash. Xiao Lin understood that it would not be to his advantage, which was why every time Alexander’s fist closed in, Xiao Lin would immediately stab his sword forward, and when the fist aura began to spread, Xiao Lin would use the brief moment of delay to retract his sword and slide away, using Phantom Steps to change the direction of his attack, causing Alexander to not be able to use his full force.
That method of battle frustrated Alexander as he felt like he could not fight with his full might. Even though he had the complete advantage in terms of strength, he could not turn that advantage into a victory.
“Interesting. You have a very good foundation. It’s the best I have ever seen!” Alexander praised unreservedly before laughing, “Very good! This is good! I will increase my power!”
Xiao Lin had no time to respond, being too focused on dodging, but he believed that the man was not lying. To be able to chat away in such an intense battle meant that Alexander was not using his full strength.
As he laughed, Alexander’s expression turned into a sharp one as a green aura rose around him. That was the physical representation of fist aura, but it was the first time Xiao Lin had seen a green-colored one. Alexander started his attack, but he did not charge forward like before, and instead slammed his fist down on the floor.
Boom!
The entire training hall started to shake intensely after that strike. Cracks began to appear under Alexander’s feet and started to spread. The deepness of the cracks were not even, and the deepest parts were meters deep. The training hall’s floors had already been specially strengthened, but they seemed as fragile as paper under his fist.
The shocking punch had basically destroyed the training hall, and only a small area to stand on remained. That way, XIao Lin had no way of using his speed to the fullest. When the dust suddenly parted, Xiao Lin lunged forward with his blade, a red flame covering his sword.
Alexander paused for a few seconds before smiling. The green aura in his hand expanded again as it went straight toward the flames on the sword.
Xiao Lin finally activated Ruin. He could feel that Alexander’s skill had greatly increased after using the green fist aura, as it was no longer at a level that he could handle with Miracle.
Fist and blade collided once again, and neither of them had the advantage. They were both beaten back by sword and fist aura, and Alexander loudly exclaimed, “Haha! Very good! This is more like it!”
“You sure talk a lot!” Xiao Lin finally retorted.
Xiao Lin could actually not face up to Alexander if their auras were in a straight-up fight. After using the green fist aura, his opponent’s destructiveness was already at a terrifying level. Facing Xiao Lin’s flaming sword aura, the guy still did not dodge, and allowed it to hit his body. However, even if it was Alexander, the flame sword aura still left behind noticeable wounds.
Xiao Lin was in awe. It meant that Alexander had yet to use his S-rank talent, War God’s active component. Xiao Lin remembered that the president had said that all magic was ineffective when Alexander was possessed by the War God, but Alexander was still being damaged by his flames.
