Zither Emperor Chapter 77 Chapter 20 Summoning Zi 1

77: Chapter 20 Summoning, Zi (1) 77: Chapter 20 Summoning, Zi (1) The petition continued, and to everyone’s surprise, the third contestant from the Heavy Cavalry Study Department was none other than the main player, Nesta.

With his right hand gripping the heavy lance, casually angled towards the ground as if he was holding a mere straw, Nesta did not immediately launch an attack on Ye Yinzhu as the previous two students did, but instead, he urged Machino the Iron Dragon to walk slowly towards Ye Yinzhu.

Steady as a mountain, this was the aura Nesta exhibited at that moment.

His gaze was tranquil, yet it brimmed with an endless fighting spirit.

His every move was solid, a seamless flow without a single flaw.

“Ye Yinzhu, your strength mands my respect,” Nesta said coldly as Machino the Iron Dragon stopped thirty meters away from Ye Yinzhu.

Ye Yinzhu smiled lightly, as the Haiyue Qinhui Zither reappeared in his grasp.

He had a premonition that the battle about to begin would be the most difficult he had faced since the start of the newer petition.

On the surface, Nesta might not seem as dangerous as Roland with his Green Dragon, but his intuition told him that the bat power of this Heavy Cavalry member was the strongest he had encountered amongst all students, and it brought upon him the greatest pressure.

“Out of respect for a strong opponent, I do not wish my rades to further deplete your strength.

Let us have a fair fight.

If you win against me, you win over the Heavy Cavalry Department.

Just as you fully represent the Divine Music Department, I now represent mine,” Nesta’s calm eyes gradually heated up as he slowly raised the lance that was previously angled towards the ground.

Ye Yinzhu looked at him with some surprise, “But wouldn’t that be very disadvantageous for you?”

Nesta smiled indifferently and replied, “If I still need others to help me waste your strength in order to defeat you, such a victory would be meaningless to me.

What I seek is the continuous enhancement of power, and only by constantly challenging the strong can I achieve it.

e, let me witness your Magic Martial Union.”

Ye Yinzhu laughed, placing his right hand on his chest, and gave Nesta a standard mage’s salute.

This tall opponent had also won his respect and favor.

“Kill—!” Nesta suddenly roared, and the colossal Machino the Iron Dragon unbelievably stood upright on its hind legs at the mand of his left hand.

As Machino’s massive body fell back to the ground, the five-meter-long lance was already thrust towards Ye Yinzhu like lightning.

His high fighting spirit and immense aura reached its peak in an instant.

A pale green Douqi burst out from the lance, and the charge of Machino the Iron Dragon brought Nesta almost instantly close to Ye Yinzhu.

However, when his lance stabbed out, the sharp tip was still about a Zhang away from Ye Yinzhu.

Was his calculation wrong?

No, of course not.

Green ranked Douqi condensed into a blade-like substance that in a blink bridged the distance and arrived in front of Ye Yinzhu, a suffocating sharpness that left no one doubting its destructive power.

“Battle Aura?” Fergerson, watching the petition from the main stand, couldn’t help but express his surprise.

“To cultivate Battle Aura with Intermediate Green rank Douqi, Nesta is the first one I’ve ever seen.

Without an accident, within ten years, he will bee a Venus Dragon Knight, and within twenty, he will bee the youngest Purple Star Dragon Knight in history.

Perhaps he might not possess the natural talent of those two young members from the Zi Luolan Family, but his obsession with elevating his strength is unmatched by anyone,” said the head of the Heavy Cavalry Department, Iron Arm, indifferently.

Battle Aura, an evolved version of Douqi.

Generally, it’s a skill that can only be used by those cultivating Douqi above the Green rank.

A powerful warrior can use Battle Aura to injure enemies within a range of three Zhang outside the body.

The stronger the Douqi, the larger the area covered by the Battle Aura.

Battle Aura demands a high level of Douqi, requiring large amounts of pression of one’s Douqi to use.

Without a foundation of strength and a perfect application of Douqi, it’s impossible to wield.

The fact that Nesta could use Battle Aura at the Beginner Green rank level was already an anomaly.

The platform was filled with astonishment, yet the battle in the trial field couldn’t possibly stop.

As the attack, swift as lightning, approached, Ye Yinzhu didn’t even have time to perform Explosive Reverberate.

Moon God’s Protection opened instantly, its milky white radiance making contact with the pale green battle aura in the air.

A ring of milky white halo appeared where the battle aura hit and spread instantly, the harsh friction sound grating on the ears.

Because of Nesta’s impact, the battle aura grew shorter, while the lance itself drew ever closer to Moon God’s Protection.

Ye Yinzhu knew he couldn’t retreat.

Nesta was nothing like the previous two opponents; if he backed away, he would have no chance to counterattack, and Nesta’s following fierce assault would immediately destroy him.

Therefore, he did not retreat.

Using the buffer of Moon God’s Protection, he stepped forward with his left foot in an instant, punching out with his right fist, aiming straight for the spearhead.

Was Ye Yinzhu trying to employ the same tactic as before?

No, certainly not.

Using the same tactic twice in a short period was undoubtedly suicidal.

This time, he truly faced his opponent’s Douqi head-on.

Yellow and green, the two Douqi colors collided at the fist and spearhead, and in that moment, space seemed to be at a brief standstill.

Ye Yinzhu’s fist and Nesta’s lance didn’t truly collide; it was their Douqi that clashed, yellow and green.

The two colors pressed against each other in the narrow space and, under mutual pressure, even appeared somewhat distorted.

Ye Yinzhu stood on the ground, while Nesta towered above.

At this moment, considering the weight of Nesta and Machino the Iron Dragon alone, they held an absolute advantage.

Ye Yinzhu’s not-so-robust body seemed somewhat insignificant before them.

And yet, it was this insignificant body that, with the strength of a single punch, staunchly blocked Nesta’s attack; the enormous Machino the Iron Dragon, at this moment, could not advance another step.

Ye Yinzhu’s legs were like nails driven into the ground, not retreating in the slightest.

Second Rank Yellow Bamboo, equivalent to Intermediate Green rank Douqi.

In terms of Douqi, Ye Yinzhu was indeed a notch above Nesta.

However, the gap between their Douqi was not large, and if it were just for that slight advantage in Douqi, Ye Yinzhu definitely could not have withstood the charge of Nesta atop Machino the Iron Dragon.

What allowed him to achieve this was his strength.

The power that burst forth from his body.

The very instant Nesta’s lance thrust down, a voice seemed to resound in Ye Yinzhu’s heart, saying he could not back down, as if his pride told him not to.

That surging warmth he felt before rose again, and it was not until he swung his fist and truly blocked Nesta’s charge that Ye Yinzhu realized how terrifyingly his strength had grown.

Boom——

The pressed Douqi of their all-out attacks could no longer withstand the immense pressure and erupted in a massive explosion.

Amidst the roar, Nesta and his Machino the Iron Dragon were forced to retreat ten steps before they could steady their forms.

Ye Yinzhu did not retreat.

The stubbornness in his heart wouldn’t allow it, but the defensive energy released by Moon God’s Protection had dissipated into specks of white light, leaving his face looking somewhat pale.

The audience was silent as a grave, everyone holding their breath and watching the earth-shattering final battle unfold before them.

A hint of purple air flashed in his eyes once again, and Ye Yinzhu simply sat there on the spot, placing the Haiyue Qinhui Zither across his knees.
