I gain permanent defense when attacked; even gods and demons can't hurt me.

Chapter 366 Shadow Warrior

Lei Kuang, at level 58, is the perfect choice to win the first match against the opposing national team players.

However, before Lei Kuang went on stage, Lin Yuan still whispered a word of advice to him.

"Lei Kuang, go up there and smash whatever you want. But remember one thing."

Lin Yuan's expression turned very serious. "You are not allowed to use your Thunder Domain, nor are you allowed to use your awakened-level ultimate move."

""

"We need to conceal our true strength to deal with the formidable opponents on the international stage. Against these eliminated players, use your low to mid-level skills as much as possible, understand?"

Hearing the captain's instructions, Lei Kuang shouldered the massive Thunder Battle Axe and laughed heartily.

"Don't worry, Captain! Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?"

"I guarantee I won't use my trump card; I can chopp them into charcoal with just an axe and lightning magic!"

Having said that, Lei Kuang, carrying his incredibly heavy battle axe, strode onto the arena like a thunder god descending to earth.

Seeing that the Chinese team had sent out a level 58 Thunder God Warrior.

On the Sakura National Team side, everyone gasped in shock.

Level 58!

This level is already one level higher than their captain, Tokugawa Ryu!

Is this the true value of the Chinese National Team?

Tokugawa Ryuuya frowned slightly, but he did not back down. Instead, he called out a name to the team behind him.

"Ito, you're up for the first match."

Tokugawa Ryu said in a deep voice, "Although the berserkers on the other side are high-level and strong, they must be very clumsy."

"Use your speed advantage to kite him, and never engage him head-on! Find an opening and strike decisively!"

"Hi!"

A thin young man with eyes as cold and ruthless as a viper suddenly darted out from the group.

He held a short katana in each hand, and his figure, like a wisp of smoke, lightly leaped onto the arena.

The young man was incredibly fast, almost leaving a trail of afterimages in the air.

[Name: Kenji Ito]

[Class: Shadow Warrior (High Agility Assassin/Dual-wielding Warrior)]

[Level: 56]

Kenji Ito stood on the ring, looking down at Lei Kuang opposite him, a cruel sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.

Although he was two levels lower than Lei Kuang, he had absolute confidence in his speed and agility.

To him, a clumsy lightning warrior was nothing more than a giant live target.

"Hey, big guy from China, your muscles look really solid, but unfortunately, they're useless if you can't hit anyone."

Kenji Ito arrogantly pointed the tip of his knife at Lei Kuang and said provocatively.

"I'll cut you a hundred times as fast as I can, so you can experience the thrill of being slowly sliced ​​to death!"

In response to Kenji Ito's provocation, Lei Kuang simply picked at his ear and let out a deafening laugh.

"Hahaha! Where did this dwarf come from, daring to bark at Grandpa?"

Lei Kuang slammed his giant axe heavily onto the arena floor, and a violent bolt of lightning instantly exploded on the axe blade.

"I'll see today whether your knife is faster or my lightning is faster!"

"court death!"

A murderous glint flashed in Kenji Ito's eyes. He suddenly exerted force with both legs, and his whole body instantly transformed into a whirlwind.

"Phantom Wind Concealment Step!"

With a low shout, Kenji Ito's figure vanished from the ring!

No, it didn't disappear, but rather because it was too fast, coupled with a special wind-based footwork skill.

This makes it impossible for ordinary people to detect his movements with the naked eye; they can only see wisps of wind moving around the arena.

Many of the Japanese entourage and support staff in the audience cheered loudly upon seeing this.

"Young Master Ito's Wind Concealment Step has improved again! With such terrifying speed, that clumsy warrior wouldn't even be able to touch his shadow!"

"As long as we don't get hit, we'll be invincible! We'll slowly wear that Chinese man down!"

However, facing the enemy who had disappeared from sight, Lei Kuang did not move an inch.

His rugged face was full of disdainful sneers.

"Trying to outspeed a lightning-type class? You must be out of your mind!"

Lei Kuang didn't even bother to search for Ito Kenji's whereabouts; he directly activated his most frequently used buff skill.

"The body of Thor!"

"Boom One"

A thick beam of lightning suddenly descended from the void and struck Lei Kuang directly.

The raging lightning magic instantly condensed on his body into a set of lightning armor that crackled with dazzling electric light!

Lei Kuang's movement speed, attack speed, and defense all received a terrifying boost in that instant.

The tiny arcs of electricity that roamed his body seemed to have a life of their own, constantly shooting into the surrounding air.

"call out!"

Just as Lei Kuang activated the buff, an extremely faint sound of air being cut came from the air!

A cold blade of light, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, pierced straight for Lei Kuang's vital neck from his right rear, a blind spot!

"Swift Wind Slash!"

Kenji Ito's figure instantly appeared in mid-air, the two short swords in his hands transforming into a sky full of sword shadows, blocking all of Lei Kuang's escape routes.

This strike was swift, accurate, and ruthless, making full use of the advantages of a highly agile assassin.

The blade was about to pierce Lei Kuang's defenses.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

A series of dense metallic clanging sounds exploded on the arena.

Kenji Ito's twin swords struck Lei Kuang's thunder armor squarely.

However, apart from a few sparks flying, the twin blades that could cut through even fine steel couldn't even make a crack in the Thunder Armor!

The level advantage, combined with Lei Kuang's extremely high physical attributes, rendered this level of attack as ineffective.

"This...it's so hard?!"

Kenji Ito was terrified. He was about to draw his sword and retreat to look for another opportunity.

But to his despair, he discovered that the instant his twin blades struck the Thunder Armor, a strong sense of paralysis spread throughout his entire body from the hilts of the blades!

"Oh no! It's a lightning-attribute passive paralysis!"

Kenji Ito's body stiffened for a fraction of a second, which would be a fatal flaw in a duel between top-level fighters.

"Finished chopping? Now it's my turn!"

Lei Kuang let out a wild laugh, and his burly body unleashed a terrifying speed completely disproportionate to his size.

He whirled around, his thick arm muscles bulging, his hands gripping the Thunder Axe tightly.

It did not use any high-level domain skills, only a mid-level physical burst skill.

"A thunderous roar that shatters the earth!"

Lei Kuang raised his battle axe high above his head, the blade gathering extremely violent lightning elements, emitting a piercing shriek like a thousand birds singing in unison.

"Get down on your knees!"

With a thunderous roar, the giant axe, carrying the force of Mount Tai crashing down, slammed down on the paralyzed and stiffened Ito Kenji!

"No!"

Kenji Ito sensed the destructive power contained in that axe blow and stared wide-eyed in horror.

He wanted to escape, but his numb body wouldn't obey him.

"boom!!!!"

This extremely violent slash, containing the full power of a level 58 Thunder God, landed squarely on Kenji Ito's crossed swords.

"Snap!"

The two fine-quality short swords were instantly melted and broken by the violent lightning power the moment they came into contact!

The battle axe continued its momentum, carrying terrifying arcs of lightning, and slammed heavily into Kenji Ito's chest.

"Puwa!"

Kenji Ito spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with pieces of internal organs.

He was sent flying like a cannonball, and in mid-air, he was struck by lightning, leaving his body charred black.

"Bang!"

He crashed heavily into the energy barrier at the edge of the arena, creating a large spiderweb-like crack in the barrier before sliding down like a puddle of mud.

His eyes rolled back, his body convulsed and emitted black smoke, and he was completely incapacitated.

The first round is a one-on-one match.

Lei Kuang, a regular player for the Huaguo National Team, faces off against Ito Kenji, the main assassin for the Sakura National Team.

Throughout the entire process, Lei Kuang did not use any special moves, nor did he reveal his domain abilities.

With just a basic Thunder Enchantment and a mid-level skill.

Victory!

Absolute superiority in level and strength!

The entire elite martial arts arena was deathly silent.

Those Japanese personnel who were originally prepared to laugh at the Chinese team were now gaping, their faces ashen.

Their proud genius of high agility was actually killed instantly by a Berserker who didn't use his trump cards, like swatting a fly with an axe.

Lei Kuang slung his battle axe over his shoulder and glanced somewhat boredly at the unconscious Ito Kenji.

He walked to the edge of the ring, shook his head at Tokugawa Ryu below, and let out a burst of unrestrained laughter.

"Too weak! This is your Japan's elite? They can't even withstand a single axe blow from me!"

"Hurry up and send someone who can fight, don't waste my time!"

Lei's arrogant attitude made the Sakura National Team in the audience tremble with anger.

Tokugawa Ryu's face was so gloomy it looked like it could drip water.

He stared intently at the Chinese team and finally realized that not only could this group of people survive in the sea of ​​Aokigahara ships, but their individual combat capabilities were also terrifyingly suffocating!

"Captain, we lost the first round. The level difference was too big; Ito's attacks couldn't break through the opponent's defense at all."

A woman dressed in traditional Onmyoji attire with a cool and aloof expression walked up to Tokugawa Ryu and spoke in a low voice.

Name: Abe Sakura

[Class: Frost Onmyoji (Magic Control)]

[Level: 55]

"I'll play in the next round."

A cold light flashed in Abe Sakura's eyes as she held a blue talisman in her hand.

"We absolutely cannot be shut out in the first round. My Frostbite's speed reduction and control can perfectly counter these pure melee brutes."

Tokugawa Ryu took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and nodded heavily.

"Go, Abe. We must win this round, no matter what! Force them to reveal their true colors!"

Abe Sakura bowed slightly, then walked gracefully onto the ring.

She didn't carry any magic staff, but only held a talisman in her hand. The surrounding temperature began to drop sharply as soon as she appeared.

On the solid surface of the ring, a thin layer of frost, visible to the naked eye, even began to form.

Seeing that the other side had deployed magic-based control classes, Lin Yuan's side also adjusted its personnel accordingly.

"Lei Kuang, come down. The enemy team has switched to magic-based crowd control; you'll easily get kited if you go."

Lin Yuan gave the order in a calm tone.

Although Lei Kuang had enjoyed the fight, he was absolutely obedient to Lin Yuan's orders. He swaggered down, carrying his axe.

Lin Yuan's gaze slowly swept over the team members behind him.

To deal with the Frost Onmyoji, sending a pure melee class is definitely a disadvantage; you must send a class with higher mobility that can ignore control effects.

"Captain, let me go and take her on this round."

A clear and steady voice sounded behind Lin Yuan.

Everyone turned to look, and saw the thin young man who had been resting with his eyes closed, seemingly blending into the surrounding space, slowly open his eyes.

Mo Chen, a level 59 Void Walker and a regular member of the team!

Lin Yuan looked at Mo Chen, who had volunteered, smiled slightly, and nodded.

"Alright, this round is yours. Same rules as before, don't reveal your trump card."

2

Mo Chen's lips curled into a smug smile.

"Don't worry, Captain. We can handle this half-baked Onmyoji."

"I'm too lazy to even open my spatial domain. The basic spatial blade from Enterprise Development is enough to end the battle."

After saying that, Mo Chen's figure blurred slightly.

The next second, he completely ignored the distance in space and appeared out of thin air in the center of the huge arena as if he had teleported!

The way this little devil appeared out of nowhere caused Abe Sakura's pupils to shrink sharply.

Inside the enormous training ground, the temperature was plummeting at an alarming rate.

As Abe Sakura's graceful figure stepped onto the arena, a layer of visible icy blue frost began to spread outwards from her feet.

On the solid marble floor, sharp frost flowers bloomed, emitting a bone-chilling cold.

As the only control-type mage in the Sakura Kingdom Slash Team, her strength should not be underestimated.

In past drills, even Captain Tokugawa Ryu was unwilling to spar with Abe Sakura easily.

Because of the speed reduction and control abilities of the Frost Onmyoji, it is a painful nightmare for any melee class.

"Chinese people, your arrogance ends here."

Abe Sakura coldly stared at Mo Chen, who appeared out of nowhere opposite her, her slender fingers holding three talismans emitting a ghostly blue light.

"Spatial mages are indeed rare, but within an absolute ice domain, even space itself is frozen; you have nowhere to escape!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Abe Sakura launched her attack without any hesitation!

With a sudden flick of her wrist, the three blue talismans at her fingertips instantly transformed into three streams of light.

They formed a triangular shape, carrying a biting cold wind, and shot straight towards Mo Chen.

"Onmyoji Art: Ice Soul Talisman Explosion!"

The talisman exploded with a bang ten meters away from Mo Chen!

The three raging, extremely cold storms instantly intertwined, forming a terrifying absolute zero zone capable of freezing steel into ice shards.

However, faced with this overwhelming frost storm, Mo Chen simply yawned out of boredom.

"Freeze space? You, a mere level 55 idiot, dare to boast so arrogantly?"

Mo Chen didn't even move his feet an inch, and suddenly a faint ripple appeared around his body.

"Void Warp".
