Joint training facility:
Jeremy frowned after hearing Roo's words. He and the others turned towards him.
Roo found other gazes on him. He smiled at them and then said, "I want to make sure before starting the duel."
Old man Derek frowned. He could tell that Jeremy had one flaw, which was his lifeline beast. No one had seen his lifeline beast before.
The most popular opinion is that STRIKERs don't have powerful lifeline beasts.
"Kid, what do you think?" he asked Jeremy.
Jeremy sighed inwardly. He just wanted to get it over with.
"Okay," Jeremy replied.
Hearing that, Roo showed a bright smile.
The next second, both of them walked inside the ring.
The ring was massive in size, over 100 ters. The Beast Tars could use their lifeline beasts to fight easily.
Roo was smiling from ear to ear. He was not going to use his lifeline beast right away. As a Sword Talent, he planned to use his talent against Jeremy.
He then brought out his talent. A broadsword appeared in his hand. It had a sharp double edge with cutting power.
Gasp!
The Attack Departnt students exclaid. They were about to witness an actual fight between A-Grade Talents.
Jeremy Night, who was standing opposite him, also brought out his katana. His katana was a single-edged blade.
"Are you guys ready?" Old man Derek asked.
Hearing that, both of them nodded their heads.
"Ready!" Old man Derek uttered.
Swoosh!
The next second, Roo sprinted forward to attack. He was using the broadsword to cut.
At the sa ti, Jeremy's senses heightened. He beca unusually calm. Roo's movents appeared slow and clear in his eyes.
He could even predict his next move. Using this opportunity, he dashed forward to attack. When they got closer, Roo brought his broadsword downwards to cut him.
At the sa ti, Jeremy's eyes spotted the blade's trajectory clearly. He then swung his katana to slice at Roo's forearm.
Slice!
Before the broadsword ca down, the katana blade made a cut in Roo's forearm.
Pfff!
Blood splattered on the ground. The cut was not deep, yet Roo felt pain.
AAaahhhh!
Roo let out a painful scream. The broadsword in his hand disappeared, and he imdiately retreated backward.
Gasp!
The students exclaid in surprise. They hadn't expected Roo to be pushed back in one move.
Jeremy retreated backward as well. If he wanted, he could have targeted other parts of Roo to defeat him. But he didn't want to do that.
Because he was interested in Roo's sword skills as well.
Roo looked at the cut on his forearm before wearing a solemn expression on his face. He had sword talent and didn't think he was weaker than Jeremy.
So he summoned the broadsword once more to fight against him.
As ti passed, everyone heard the sound of clashing swords. More importantly, everyone witnessed Roo being overwheld.
Jeremy Night seed to be playing with him.
"This kid is better at sword skills compared to Roo," Old man Derek comnted.
The Attack Departnt Instructor said, "Elder, Roo has yet to use his technique."
"Oh," Derek raised his eyebrows.
The next mont, changes happened inside the ring.
Roo began using his sword skills. His broadsword glowed with a white light.
"Ha... Ha... Ha..."
"This ti, I would like to see how you handle it," Roo shouted.
At the sa ti, Jeremy Night felt a sense of crisis. His senses warned him of danger. His gaze imdiately fell on the bright glowing light.
"Sword Skill," Jeremy uttered.
In the face of danger, instead of panicking, he started to think coolly. Once again, he felt ti slow down.
Boom!
Roo released a sword strike at Jeremy. A white light erupted from his sword. The white light tore through the air before heading toward Jeremy.
The faces of the people standing outside changed drastically.
It was a normal sparring match, not a do-or-die duel. So old man Derek was ready to intervene at any mont.
Instructor Jacob wore a grave expression on his face. He believed in Jeremy Night's skill, yet this sword attack was not easy to deal with.
anwhile,
Jeremy side-stepped at the last mont. The sword attack went past him before hitting the ring.
Boom!
A deafening noise occurred as the attack damaged the floor.
"Missed," Roo was shocked.
He was sure that sword attack would hurt Jeremy. But what happened now?
Swoosh!
He then saw Jeremy Night dashing toward him.
Seeing that, he started sprinting toward him to attack. In the blink of an eye, both of them clashed swords again.
Clang!
A sword-clashing sound occurred.
Cut!
When Roo raised his broadsword to attack, the katana blade in Jeremy's hand moved before tearing through Roo's left leg.
Aaaahhh!
Roo scread out in pain again. The broadsword in his hand disappeared before he bent down to check his leg.
Silence!
Everyone had quieted down. The duel had been one-sided from the beginning. If Jeremy wanted, he could have ended the duel before.
For so reason, Jeremy was fighting to the end until his opponent seed to give up.
"He is no match for Jeremy," Old man Derek Gibson comnted.
Hearing that, the Attack Departnt Instructor remained silent. But he was still unwilling in his heart because Roo had yet to use his lifeline beast.
"Roo, use your lifeline beast!"
"Use your lifeline beast!"
"Departnt representative, use your lifeline beast!"
The Attack Departnt students started shouting. They still had hope. They thought Roo could win if he used his lifeline beast.
"What do you think?" Daniel Stone asked Betsy Lowe beside him.
"I think Jeremy can easily defeat a Tier-1 lifeline beast. It doesn't make any difference. He won the duel," Betsy Lowe said.
"Yes, Jeremy has won. If the lifeline beast gets injured, then it will affect the Beast Tar as well. I think it's unnecessary to continue the fight," Instructor Jacob said.
His words reached the ears of the other instructors as well.
Old man Derek said, "I think we can end the duel."
He was speaking to the Attack Departnt Instructor. It's up to him to decide.
