My stats are higher than yours!

"That's such a shame."

Meanwhile, Bai Shuodong's good friend Jiang Lin finally arrived at the training ground. Looking at Bai Shuodong, who was locked in a fierce battle with Xia Yanxin on the stage, he sighed deeply and said:

"Silly Fu, Grandpa can't save you."

...

A fierce and relentless offensive was launched.

Xia Yanxin's attacks became increasingly fierce. Having pushed her talent to its limit, she had undergone a complete transformation. The two-meter-long giant sword now exhibited an eerie lightness in her hands, and was incredibly agile.

Even more terrifying is the sheer agility combined with the terrifying power of the greatsword itself, the fierce sound of it tearing through the air layer upon layer, and the overwhelming pressure from the front.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!..."

The crisp sound of metal clashing against metal rang out one after another.

With each direct clash, Bai Shuodong could feel a terrifying force slamming into his arm along the hilt of the sword, making his tiger's mouth numb and his shoulder sore and aching unbearably.

monster!

Bai Shuodong thought to himself.

Keep in mind that he has a fixed damage reduction of 5% of his maximum health when he's in burst mode!

Even so, it's impossible to be completely immune to the impact of the confrontation! Just the confrontation itself, just the power transmitted through the sword, has already exceeded the damage reduction limit of 5% of the maximum health!

Is this what a 50% damage increase is?

Is this her stat?

monster!

"hu~hu~"

Bai Shuodong's breathing grew heavier, his forehead was covered in a fine layer of cold sweat, and his vision trembled slightly from the intense exertion, but [Lion's Eye] still held firmly to Xia Yanxin opposite him.

There is only one possibility for victory.

[Lion's Might] is my only trump card. If I use it directly from the start, Xia Yanxin will definitely be on guard. Her overall attributes are higher than mine, and her fighting spirit is also very strong. In the end, she will most likely only reduce all her attributes by 5%, which won't have a significant impact.

so...

It must be used at critical moments!

We must find a way to seize that opportunity!

"Bang!!"

Bai Shuodong activated [Slow Burst] again, deflecting Xia Yanxin's giant sword with a single blow. A violent sonic wave erupted, but his steps became increasingly chaotic, a flaw that appeared as his stamina approached its limit.

The murmurs among the students watching the battle gradually subsided as they awaited the final result. He had already done quite well to fight Xia Yanxin to this extent.

Teacher Ye, high in the air, sighed, ready to call a halt and rescue people at any moment.

It's... over.

...

That was so exhilarating!

Xia Yanxin's lips parted in a grin, and large beads of sweat streamed down her forehead. Her wrists had already lost all feeling. Continuing to fight head-on against someone stronger than herself, her condition was far from good.

In other words, she has a higher skill level and stronger innate endurance; anyone else would have been beaten to a pulp long ago.

"it's over!"

Xia Yanxin stomped her foot on the ground, and the giant sword fell in the simplest, most direct, and fastest manner.

'Chance!'

Bai Shuodong's eyes flickered, and in an instant, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes!

【Lion's Might】

An invisible pressure suddenly erupted!

[Hint: Your use of Lion's Eye - Lion's Might on Xia Yanxin has triggered a Spirit Realm check.]

[Note: Mental assessment successful, Willpower assessment failed. Xia Yanxin has been exempted from the effects of [Fear] and [Intimidation], but all attributes are reduced by 12%]

Xia Yanxin's actions faltered for a moment. Although the Lion's Might had failed to intimidate her, it had still slowed her down and affected her somewhat.

The Lion's Might reduced all her attributes, slowing her attacks slightly, with an immediate effect.

[Slow Burst]

Bai Shuodong swung his sword, his face filled with the pride and joy of a victor.

Xia Yanxin's fighting spirit is indeed strong, but her mental attributes are weak, and she has also experienced high-intensity combat before, which has affected her mental state. Therefore, she is more likely to be judged to be successful when facing Lion's Might, which is his opportunity.

【Spirit Realm Judgment】does not compare numerical values ​​in the game, but rather describes the effects in actual combat in the form of a judgment based on the actual situation.

'idiot.'

The next second, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Xia Yanxin's face.

"bump!"

The weapons clashed again, but Bai Shuodong did not feel the same terrifying power as before, and his expression suddenly changed.

This is just a feint!

This guy was holding back just now!

Her skills are even better than I imagined!

Xia Yanxin wielded her greatsword with agility, and after the initial confrontation, she used Bai Shuodong's strength to dance on the training ground, launching a second attack from another tricky angle.

Oops!

It takes 1 second to recharge after dispelling [Slow Burst], which is not enough time to resist. Without dispelling [Slow Burst], you can't keep up with her in terms of agility!

What to do? What to do? What to do?

Bai Shuodong gritted his teeth, immediately deactivated the [Slow Burst] state, and blocked at top speed, while his body instinctively began to move forward.

"clang!!"

A crisp, resonant sound rang out, and Bai Shuodong's training sword instantly slipped from his hand, spinning as it crashed onto the arena floor with a sharp thud.

'We got it!'

At that moment, Xia Yanxin was still in the stance of drawing her sword, a wild smile slowly creeping onto her lips, her eyes filled with a bright fighting spirit of certain victory.

She was a monster beyond genius, possessing unparalleled combat intuition. In battle, she could clearly sense that Bai Shuodong seemed to be hiding something, ready to use it at any moment.

Therefore, Xia Yanxin held back from the very beginning, always prepared to respond.

She had a firm grasp on the rhythm of the battle from the very beginning, and she thoroughly enjoyed the thrill of the fight; this was her happiest moment.

The outcome is decided...

Just as she was thinking this, she noticed Bai Shuodong was lunging at her with his arms outstretched at top speed, seemingly without any aftershock from having his weapon knocked away. To successfully knock away his weapon, Xia Yanxin had used all her strength in that move, and her weapon was a heavy sword, which had an extremely slow turning speed.

What is this guy doing?

Suddenly, a terrifying thought popped into Xia Yanxin's mind.

He voluntarily gave up his weapon!

The intense competition just now affected my touch! It prevented me from noticing anything unusual immediately!

"Let me give you a big hug."

Bai Shuodong grinned maliciously.

Chapter Eleven North

Fuck!

Deadly! I command you! Move now!

Xia Yanxin rushed back to defend as fast as she could, but it was too late. The greatsword itself was very heavy, and Bai Shuodong hadn't used any force at all, so there was no rebound force to draw upon! It was simply too late!

Bai Shuodong hugged Xia Yanxin!

I gave it a full, tight hug!

At that moment, the entire hall fell silent! Countless students' pupils constricted as they stared intently at the spectacle unfolding before them!

"Wait, wait a minute..."

Xia Yanxin made a hurried sound, and the hilt of her sword stabbed into Bai Shuodong's back. Her face showed no shyness as a girl being embraced, only despair.

Spicy!

Don't come near me!

"hey-hey!"

Bai Shuodong gave a wicked smile.

[Slow Burst]

strength!
