Bai Pu’s right hand powered up the great sword, waiting for Tokesen to fall into the Eye of the Storm. As soon as his figure was hindered, Bai Pu would imdiately unleash the Mountain Shattering Mystical Arts.
However, a crimson light flashed at Tokesen’s fingertips, and the scarlet blood light transford into a beam, shooting towards the Eye of the Storm.
Swoosh!
The Eye of the Storm was pierced through, and the spinning Gang Wind lost its balance, causing the energy to dissipate.
This was Tokesen’s Mystical Arts skill: Crimson Ray!
Tokesen regained his freedom and imdiately placed both hands on the blade of Bai Pu’s Chainsaw Greatsword. His palms seed to be covered with a crimson thin film, with remarkably tough Blood Corpse Poison Fighting Qi wrapping it.
The Mountain Shattering Mystical Arts burst forth, but could only send ripples across the crimson thin film.
Tokesen agilely pushed against the great sword, leveraging it to leap behind Bai Pu. A series of hissing sounds followed as the ten poison fangs of the Poison Fang Gloves imprinted ten crisscrossed blood marks on Bai Pu’s back.
-426!
[You are affected by Copper Ring Snake Poison, reducing your movent speed by (40) points for 60 seconds.]
[You are affected by Dead Emperor Grass Poison, taking (60) points of poison damage per second for 15 seconds.]
Those Poison Fang Gloves were sared with two kinds of poisons, each terrifyingly potent.
Fortunately, Bai Pu had [Adaptive Evolution - Deactivated Blood Image], which diminished the effect and duration of the poisons! Had it been anyone else, even Advanced Warriors might not withstand it.
This rapid close-quarters combat left no space to use skills.
This isn’t a ga.
Even to use a skill that requires no preparation and can be triggered instantly, you at least need to focus your mind and spend at least one standard action ti.
Therefore, even though Bai Pu had skills like Three Kingdoms and Lasso Strike, there was no opportunity to use them. Tokesen himself was an Agility-type Level 8 Enhanced Warrior, and with Blood Corpse Poison Fighting Qi infusing his legs, his speed was simply too fast.
Even with the weakening effect of the Blood River Territory, Tokesen’s speed still reached beyond 130.
From neutralizing Bai Pu’s Eye of the Storm, to using gentleness to overco Bai Pu’s Mountain Shattering strike and then leveraging to leap behind Bai Pu for a counterattack, Tokesen demonstrated rich combat experience. Of course, his top-tier Fighting Qi Technique [Blood Corpse Poison] also played a significant role.
Bai Pu was not a lamb to be slaughtered. After suffering a dark loss, he beca more cautious, investing most of his focus into the defense of the Tower Shield.
The battle grew tense with Tokesen unable to penetrate; each of his moves was solidly blocked by that infuriating Tower Shield.
"Strange, this person has been in my Blood Corpse Poison Fighting Qi domain for so long, he should have felt limp and sluggish long ago! How does he remain so spirited?"
Tokesen felt unable to keep face; as a student of War God Peak, considered Bai Pu’s senior, he still couldn’t take down Bai Pu quickly, which would be laughable if ntioned!
His mindset gradually shifted, and Tokesen’s attacking style beca more aggressive than steady.
In his view, Bai Pu must be scared after suffering a big loss and wouldn’t dare to counterattack, so it was okay even if he fought a bit recklessly.
Yet Bai Pu was precisely exploiting this mindset.
The two grappled for nearly half an hour; their Fighting Qi energies were nearly exhausted.
Although Bai Pu’s total Fighting Qi was naturally not as ample as Tokesen’s, he had the [Iron Wall Knee Guards] to reduce consumption, plus his focus on defense conserved a lot of Fighting Qi energy.
As a Level 8 Enhanced Leader, Tokesen’s Blood Corpse Poison Fighting Qi reached 1500 points, originally allowing for greater energy expenditure than Bai Pu. But as the aggressor, whether using body techniques or launching attacks, his Fighting Qi consumption was almost twice that of Bai Pu, making the situation more unfavorable for him.
Tokesen sidestepped again, aiming for an opening on Bai Pu’s right side.
Previously, Bai Pu could quickly spin and protect himself with that damn Tower Shield.
But this ti, Bai Pu’s spinning was noticeably slower by half a beat.
"Finally showing a flaw!"
Tokesen exhaled, suddenly striking with a claw, adding five more blood marks to Bai Pu’s waist!
-288!
Bai Pu staggered.
Tokesen imdiately closed in, elbowing Bai Pu’s wounded side ribs.
He intended to expand Bai Pu’s flaw all the way.
When Bai Pu’s flaw was large enough, Tokesen would go all out, unleashing his strongest single-target Martial Skill—the Heart-Piercing Blood Finger to pierce Bai Pu’s body.
However, as Tokesen’s elbow ca in, he suddenly sensed sothing was wrong.
When his elbow hit Bai Pu, the expected shake and imbalance didn’t happen, Bai Pu’s body was Stable as Mount Tai!
"I’ve been tricked..."
Just as this thought flashed through Tokesen’s mind, Bai Pu’s sword hilt ca crashing viciously, hitting Tokesen’s head accurately.
What does it feel like to be hit square on the forehead by 168 points of Power?
Especially with a hit that includes the [Tyrant’s Fury] passive!
Tokesen’s head buzzed, and his vision blurred. Bai Pu spun and side-kicked, sending Tokesen stumbling backward, and slapped his face with the flat side of the great sword.
Tokesen would rather Bai Pu had slashed with the blade!
After all, as a Level 8 Enhanced Warrior, with Life Value exceeding ten thousand, Bai Pu’s sword could at most slightly injure him.
But being slapped on the face by a new student from the transfer exam...
Would be embarrassing, like a giant slap in the face!
Tokesen let out a strange cry, and from tens of ters behind, a blood shadow flashed, and a blood-condensed phantom of Tokesen erged! Imdiately, Tokesen swapped places with his blood phantom.
Mystical Arts skill: Blood Shadow Clone.
Bai Pu’s sword fell, shattering only the blood phantom.
However, Bai Pu wasn’t surprised since Tokesen had a life-preservation skill.
Bai Pu had simulated this defense and counterattack hundreds and thousands of tis in his mind. Now that Tokesen used a displacent-type skill to escape, it was one of Bai Pu’s hundreds of possible scenarios.
Bai Pu took a breath, reached out with his left hand, and preemptively threw out [Lasso Strike] at Tokesen’s blood clone!
Having just completed the Blood Shadow Clone to escape the sword slap, Tokesen was unsteady when an illusion of a collapsing mountain descended before his eyes! He felt his body lighten, as if floating among the clouds, being dragged to Bai Pu’s front.
The broad surface of Bai Pu’s great sword was getting closer to Tokesen’s face.
Suddenly, a green Fighting Qi streak shot downwards in a sweeping arc!
Bai Pu felt an obscure, inexplicable heavy pressure, not only preventing the Chainsaw Greatsword from advancing but also slicing the yet-to-dissipate Lasso Strike Qi Force into two neat sections.
Bai Pu, following the inertia, stepped back two paces.
The person who intervened was Munis. She gave Bai Pu an apologetic smile and said, "Alright, the academic assessnt ends here. Being able to duel evenly with a War God Peak student even before enrollnt, you’re the first one!"
