Chapter 57 Rematch with Luo Hai
Upon hearing Chen Yuan's words, Luo Hai looked quite surprised: "Have you become a high-level War God?"
"Just like you, a peak war god." Chen Yuan smiled.
"Isn't it worrying that your foundation is unstable with such rapid improvement?" Luo Hai asked with some concern. He wasn't surprised by Chen Yuan's speed of improvement, but he was afraid that Chen Yuan was only focused on improving his strength and hadn't laid a solid foundation.
"Don't worry." Chen Yuan blinked and said jokingly, "I can exert more force than you right now."
"Oh? Then it seems I can go all out in this battle!" Luo Hai had long been looking forward to fighting Chen Yuan with all his might. Now that he heard Chen Yuan's invitation, his previous low spirits had long been forgotten, and he was eager to try.
"Oh right, you still can't use illusion magic!" Luo Hai quickly set the rules, then added after thinking for a moment, "Also, that strange movement technique from last time is out of the question."
Chen Yuan's original goal was not to win again; ultimately, he just wanted to put pressure on Luo Hai to see if he could break through his bottleneck.
After all, Chen Yuan's rapid growth was inseparable from the consciousness helmet given to him by Luo Hai in the early stages.
Therefore, Chen Yuan fulfilled all of Luo Hai's requests: "Don't worry, this time we'll fight head-on, and I won't take advantage of your strength of consciousness or your agility to bully you."
"You said it yourself!" Luo Hai's eyes lit up, and he eagerly grabbed Chen Yuan's clothes, ready to run towards the training ground.
"What's the rush? I just got back, I haven't even put my luggage down yet." Chen Yuan was both amused and exasperated by Luo Hai's actions.
"Hey, I'll carry your luggage for you, let's go!" Without saying a word, Luo Hai grabbed Chen Yuan's backpack and sword, put them in his spatial ring, waved at him, and said, "Done."
Looking at the ring on Luo Hai's hand, Chen Yuan sighed longingly, "It's so good to be rich, you even have spatial equipment."
Luo Hai chuckled: "Aren't you envious? This was a birthday present my dad gave me when I was ten."
Chen Yuan could only say, "You're amazing."
As they were talking, the two arrived at the training ground. This time, Luo Hai had booked the largest arena in the training ground, which was over 500 meters long and wide.
Of course, given Chen Yuan and Luo Hai's strength, this arena is still too small. They could easily go over the boundary if they weren't careful. But it's the largest arena they've ever been on, so the two of them have to make do with it.
It's worth mentioning that, to avoid accidental injuries, they didn't arrange any referees for this competition, but there were quite a few spectators gathered below the ring.
The two walked to opposite sides of the arena and began to choose suitable weapons. Chen Yuan used his usual Flowing Light Battle Sword, while Luo Hai abandoned his shield this time and followed Chen Yuan's example by taking only a Blood Shadow Battle Blade.
Clearly, with the defensive power of the Black God Set, the shield's role is minimal. Luo Hai's decision to abandon the shield and focus on wielding the sword is also to dedicate himself fully to comprehending the sword technique and seeking a breakthrough opportunity.
Then, the two jumped onto the ring and stood still. Without any opening signal, they rushed at each other at the same time, as if they were telepathically connected.
At this moment, the entire training ground seemed to fall silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the center of the ring.
"boom!"
A deafening collision resounded throughout the arena. Just as the two swords clashed, the ground beneath their feet could not withstand the pressure and cracked instantly, kicking up clouds of dust.
However, amidst the smoke and dust, the two continued to clash, the sounds of metal clashing echoing incessantly. Even if one couldn't see the movements clearly, the sounds alone were enough to get one's blood pumping with excitement.
In just one second, the sound of weapons clashing rang out hundreds of times.
Once the smoke and dust cleared, the two stopped clashing their weapons and instead pressed their blades tightly together, engaging in a contest of strength and endurance.
Upon witnessing this scene, everyone was astonished, with many exclaiming that it was impossible.
There was no other reason than that the two people fighting at this moment were clashing. Luo Hai was wielding his sword with both hands and slashing down with all his might, which was incredibly powerful. But Chen Yuan, who was opposite him, was wielding his sword with only one hand!
Simply by holding the longsword horizontally in front of him, he easily blocked all of Luo Hai's power, and the blade remained completely still, as if welded to mid-air.
The arena was already surrounded by spectators, most of whom came because of Luo Hai's fame, but a small number of people came for Chen Yuancai.
Yu Qinglan was among them. Staring at the two on the stage, her face filled with shock, she exclaimed, "How is this possible?!"
Although Yu Qinglan knew that Chen Yuan was not simple, she never thought that he would fight Luo Hai so easily... You have to understand, his opponent is Luo Hai!
Even with peak war god strength, 5.5 times the power, and wielding weapons with both hands, Chen Yuan blocked it head-on with one hand?
Yu Qinglan found it hard to believe. Chen Yuan's combat power amplitude had only been updated at the beginning of the month, and it was only 25. His power level was at most about 5 times.
And now it's only the end of the month, less than a month later, just how much has Chen Yuan's strength improved?
To be able to block Luo Hai's attack with one hand, that must have been at least ten times stronger.
On the ring, Luo Hai had clearly noticed something as well. He stepped back, looking at his friend with a shocked expression: "The power you're using... you're cheating!"
In just one month, the power increased from 5 times to more than 10 times. Luo Hai had never seen or even heard of such a thing, not even in the universe.
To Luo Hai's question, Chen Yuan smiled and replied, "Are we still going to fight? If you don't attack, I'll have to make my move."
Luo Hai stared wide-eyed, refusing to believe it, and said, "You try! I don't believe your power is really that high; you must have used some kind of technique."
Chen Yuan chuckled, and the next second, his figure approached Luo Hai like a ghost. His long sword flashed out like silver lightning, and in the blink of an eye, it was near Luo Hai's throat.
Luo Hai was instantly jolted and instinctively held his longsword horizontally in front of him to block Chen Yuan's thrust. However, the powerful force pushed his body backward, and he had to take several steps back to dissipate the force.
However, before he could adjust his stance, Chen Yuan's offensive surged in like a tidal wave, each sword aimed straight for vital points.
Luo Hai felt his hair stand on end. Chen Yuan's attack came too fast, even slightly exceeding his reaction limit. He could only barely parry based on his body's instincts.
For a moment, Luo Hai felt immense pressure, but he did not immediately collapse. As time passed, without realizing it, his movements became more and more agile, and he was able to keep up with Chen Yuan's attack rhythm.
Chen Yuan's lips curled up slightly. Sensing that Luo Hai was gradually adapting, he quickened his movements and once again forced him into a dangerous situation.
Luo Hai was sweating profusely, almost forgetting that he was in a competition and that he was protected by the Black God Set.
Facing Chen Yuan's sword, Luo Hai had a premonition that the opponent could easily break through the defensive limit of the Black God Set and pierce through his body at any time.
Faced with a real threat of death, Luo Hai's potential was unexpectedly unleashed.
Chen Yuan smiled, his mental power sensing Luo Hai's limits, applying pressure little by little, keeping him on the verge of collapse yet barely able to hold on.
As time passed, even Luo Hai himself didn't notice that his power had unknowingly increased from 5.5 times to 6 times, and it was still slowly increasing under Chen Yuan's attack.
Faced with Chen Yuan's relentless attacks, Luo Hai gradually built up a powerful force within him as he defended against Chen Yuan's attacks. This force accumulated in his heart, growing stronger and stronger until Luo Hai felt it was about to erupt.
"Since I can't suppress it, I might as well release it!" The passive resistance he had been putting up with left Luo Hai feeling incredibly frustrated. Now, sensing the power within him, he instinctively channeled it into his swordsmanship without a second thought.
"Hundred Fierce Attacks - Mountain Destroyer!"
Luo Hai roared, no longer running away. He raised his long sword, and the momentum of a volcanic eruption seemed to flow into the blade as he swung it down heavily towards Chen Yuan.
Facing the overwhelming blade, a hint of relief flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes, and his expression became slightly serious, but he still held the sword in one hand and charged upwards against the blade.
"Gale!" With a low shout, the blade and sword clashed heavily.
With a crisp, loud bang, the spectators instinctively covered their ears, and then the ground in the center of the arena collapsed, sending up clouds of dust.
When the dust settled, the two figures on the arena, one holding a knife and the other a sword, stood facing each other.
However, when everyone looked closely, they were horrified to find that the weapons of the two men on the stage had both broken.
