Han Junchao was a warrior at the pinnacle of rank 25. What he trained in was the Han Family's famous martial technique, Flowing Gold Secret.
This was a special martial technique that was very similar in appearance to an ability. It required a special alloy to train in. Once mastered, it would be extremely powerful. The strength of a warrior who trained in this martial technique would not be weaker than an Elementalist of the same rank.
At this moment, many parts of Han Junchao's body were flowing with silvery liquid metal. The cold metallic luster revealed a palpitating chill that was hard to ignore.
After bowing, Han Junchao leaped out without saying a word. The silvery liquid metal on the surface of his body spread to every part of his body in the blink of an eye, covering everything except his head. It looked like he was wrapped in a thick layer of armor.
When he was halfway there, he waved his hand and drops of silvery liquid appeared on his arm. They stretched and solidified in mid-air, turning into sharp, short cones that shot towards Lin Lichuan like arrows that were shot out from a bow.
The shrill whistling sound did not cause Lin Lichuan's expression to change. With a flip of his wrist, the Moon-Slaying Sword appeared in his palm. Immediately after, a black light flashed, and his clothes turned into a pitch-black long windbreaker. He had entered the state of disintegration.
Han Junchao only saw a flash before his eyes, and Lin Lichuan disappeared in an instant. Dozens of sharp short cones landed in the air, shattering the hard floor.
Looking at this scene, Han Junchao could not help but be slightly startled.
The next moment, he heard an ear-piercing sonic boom behind him. His eyes widened in shock, and he felt his scalp go numb.
Without time to turn around, Han Junchao's mind moved slightly. The silvery liquid metal that enveloped his body suddenly surged violently like boiling water. Countless silvery liquid droplets scrambled to gather at his back, forming a thick metal shield that was as tall as a person in the blink of an eye.
The liquid silver alloy could be manipulated at will, and the solidification of liquid was only a thought away. In the previous round, Han Junchao had relied on this strange and unpredictable transformation to successfully defeat his opponent, who was also a peak Morning Star Knight. The liquid silver alloy in its solid state was as hard as diamond. He had full confidence in the defensive power of the shield.
"His speed is quite fast. Looks like this kid has some ability. No wonder he could be so close to the Lu Family's Eldest Miss. It's a pity that he's still a little lacking!"
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Han Junchao secretly gathered his strength, preparing to withstand this blow and launch a thunderous counterattack. However, from the corner of his eyes, he suddenly noticed that the crowd opposite him had a look of astonishment on their faces.
What's going on?
A trace of doubt arose in his heart. In the next moment, Han Junchao suddenly felt an irresistible force crash into the liquid silver shield. Under the close connection brought by the martial technique, he could clearly feel that the liquid silver shield was almost instantly shattered into pieces. Following that, the force hit his back like a speeding train.
Liquid Silver's powerful defense, which he was so proud of, was useless in front of this power. Under the terrifying impact, he couldn't help but fly forward at an extremely fast speed. Like a cannonball, he flew over a hundred meters until he hit the Dawn Light Barrier at the edge of the field with a bang. Only then did he stop, and with a bang, he fell heavily to the ground.
The intense pain instantly robbed him of his consciousness, and he fainted before he could even make a sound.
The hall immediately fell silent.
All the whispers and discussions disappeared in an instant. Everyone felt as if their throats were being strangled. They looked at Lin Lichuan in the field, their gazes full of shock and astonishment.
They had never imagined that this would be the outcome.
They had thought that this would be an exciting battle between two evenly matched opponents, but it ended in the blink of an eye. As a peak Morning Star Knight, Han Junchao, one of the elites of the younger generation of the Han family, had actually been knocked unconscious by Lin Lichuan. This was truly unexpected.
"Good, good, a level 26 Radiant Moon Knight. Although his strength is slightly weaker than what was described in the intelligence, it's already not bad!"
Lummings' eyes lit up as he laughed heartily. No one knew what he was thinking, but he suddenly glanced at Lu Qiu and nodded subconsciously.
Lei Junrong and Han Yanjiang looked at each other and clicked their tongues at the same time.
He really was a twenty year old Radiant Moon Knight!
The Lu family already had Lu Qiu, a twenty year old genius with the strength of a level 28 genius. Now, there was another level 26 genius of the same age. Seeing how close the latter was with Lu Qiu, it was likely that he would marry into the Lu family in the future. This way, the Lu family would be even more powerful.
Why did all the good things happen to this old fellow, Lummings?
The two of them muttered to themselves.
The unconscious Han Junchao was quickly helped down. There was a deep wound on his back, so deep that his bones could be seen. Blood was flowing down his back. However, this kind of injury only looked serious. With the ability of the Coat of Arms, it was easy to treat.
Most of the people had already recovered from their shock, and were whispering to each other as they looked at Lin Lichuan.
The ones who were the most shocked were the young members of the heraldic families who had secretly colluded with each other to teach Lin Lichuan a lesson. Many of them were already thinking of retreating, their eyes flickering.
Level 26 wasn't the strongest, but he had already surpassed most of the youths present. He could definitely be considered outstanding. Among the thirteen heraldic families, there were only a few who were qualified to challenge him.
"A mere outsider … actually has the strength of level 26?" Lu Zhuo's eyelids twitched, his brows furrowed as he muttered to himself in disbelief.
The people around him looked at Lu Ren in unison.
Lu Ren subconsciously puffed out his chest, feeling a sense of exaltation.
Who told you to doubt me? Now you're scared!
"Mister Lin, do you want to continue in the arena, or do you want to go down and rest?" After Han Junchao was carried away, the manager asked respectfully.
He unconsciously lowered his attitude towards this man who was close to the young mistress of his family, and whose talent and strength were both exceptional.
Lin Lichuan smiled faintly, "Even if I go down, I'll probably be challenged again later. I might as well not waste this effort. I'll just stand here. Whoever wants to challenge me, feel free to come up."
As soon as he said this, there was a low uproar in the crowd.
The group of young members had unfriendly looks in their eyes. Lin Lichuan's words were undoubtedly a provocation to them. Many people on the spot looked eager to give it a try.
"Hmph, what an arrogant fellow. So what if he's level 26? Does he really think that he's invincible among his peers?"
Lu Zhuo snorted coldly, and anger flashed across his face. "I'll challenge him in the next round!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped out of the crowd and strode into the Li Guang barrier. He cupped his hands at Lin Lichuan from afar.
"Lu Zhuo of the Lu family, please advise me!"
