"His Highness Lars … is injured!"
"How could this be …?"
Seeing Lars fly out with blood splattering everywhere, the younger generation of the Scarlet Kingdom was in an uproar, unable to believe what had just happened.
Originally, the fact that Gray could last so long against Lars without being defeated had already shocked them greatly.
But now, Gray had actually injured Lars, causing them to be so shocked that they almost couldn't believe their eyes.
"Could it be that His Highness Lars will be defeated?"
This question involuntarily flashed through their minds, but they immediately shook their heads and denied it. What a joke, how could His Highness Lars be defeated?
But in their hearts, they couldn't help but worry, and it was getting more and more intense!
"You actually … injured me!"
Looking at the bleeding wound on his chest and feeling the intense pain of his flesh being cut open, Lars' face was ashen, his eyes cold.
He was actually injured!
His opponent's defense was strong, and it was very likely that he would exchange injury for injury. He naturally had his guard up, but he also had his own confidence. His movement speed was extremely fast, and with his opponent's reaction speed, it was impossible for him to exchange injury for injury.
But he didn't expect that his opponent would succeed, and he would exchange injury for injury.
Swish!
His face was gloomy, and like a crimson phantom, he appeared behind Gray, the red greatsword wreaking havoc with lightning, as if it was the weapon of the Thunder God.
The black fog attacked indiscriminately, and with a slash of the sword, the black fog instantly exploded, and then the red greatsword pierced towards Gray's back.
Swish!
At this moment, a black sword light had already appeared, avoiding the red greatsword and slashing towards his body, preparing to exchange injury for injury.
Peng!
His expression changed. It was impossible for him to exchange injury for injury with Gray. After all, his defense was much weaker than Gray's, and he was at too much of a disadvantage. Blocking the black greatsword with his sword, his body transformed into a crimson flash of light and retreated.
The next moment, he appeared on the other side, tearing apart the obstruction of the black fog, and piercing towards Gray. But very quickly, the black greatsword stabbed towards him at almost the same time he stabbed out with the red greatsword.
The red greatsword moved horizontally, blocking the black greatsword, and he retreated once again.
He was forced to use his red greatsword to defend against Gray's black greatsword several times in a row. As he retreated midway, his expression became more and more unsightly.
"What happened?"
The battle was clearly similar to the previous one, but the outcome was completely different. The nobles of the three kingdoms could not help but feel confused.
"My reaction speed has increased!"
Only existences like Francis Violet and Galinwei Austin, who had reached the level of a Desolate Blood Warrior, could sense the reason.
They had their suspicions when Lars was first injured, and after a few exchanges, their suspicions were confirmed. Gray's reaction speed had become faster.
Bang!
Lars, who had attacked from the side, was forced to retreat. Gray's eyes were filled with joy.
His reaction speed had indeed become faster because he had broken through to the second level of the Berserker Realm.
Fighting was indeed the best way to increase one's strength.
The battle with Lars Scarlet had given him great pressure, and this pressure had allowed him to break through the bottleneck from the first level of the Berserker Realm to the second level of the Berserker Realm in a very short time.
The time needed to break through the bottleneck was even shorter than the time needed to break through the bottleneck from the Berserker Realm to the Berserker Realm.
Blood techniques were a cultivation method derived from the blood fiends. Many of its characteristics were similar to the blood fiends, and most of the blood fiends were a race that loved to fight.
In order to fight for territory, for food, they did not hesitate to fight to the death. They fought almost every day.
Blood warriors often fought, and their survival style was compatible with the blood fiends. Obviously, it could greatly increase one's strength.
Boom, boom, boom!
On the stage, the battle continued. Red lightning and black fog wreaked havoc on the stage. The more Lars fought, the more fearful he became.
"Has he become even more difficult to deal with than the Gemstone Queen?"
After being injured by Gray, he had attacked dozens of times, but he had not been able to injure Gray even once. The pressure his opponent gave him now was comparable to or even greater than that of the Gemstone Queen, Galinwei Austin.
Logically speaking, the reaction speed of the Gemstone Queen, who had reached the level of a Desolate Blood warrior, should have been faster than the opponent, and should have been more difficult to deal with. However, the truth was the opposite.
The Gemstone Queen's defense was strong, but because the blood fiends' abilities were biased towards single target attacks, their battle style was straightforward and easy to deal with. They were unable to effectively intercept him, who was extremely fast.
As for the opponent's black fog, not only could it attack in one direction, it could also attack in all directions. It attacked indiscriminately, and its attack style was even more varied, making it even more difficult to deal with.
Lars Scarlet became more fearful the more he fought, while Gray became more courageous the more he fought.
Poof!
After exchanging dozens of blows, Gray grasped the opportunity and left a large wound on Lars Scarlet's body.
Poof!
After exchanging hundreds of blows, Gray once again grasped the opportunity and left a deep wound on Lars Scarlet's right hand. It was so deep that the bone could be seen.
Clang!
The intense pain caused Lars to lose his balance and let go of the sword in his hand. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gray's black greatsword slashed horizontally, swiftly slicing towards Lars' neck.
As the black greatsword slashed towards him, Lars' expression changed. With such a huge sword slashing at his neck, even if he didn't die, he would definitely be heavily injured.
Clang!
At the crucial moment, the middle-aged woman hosting the battle appeared, holding a silver battle axe. She didn't use the blood fiends' abilities, and only relied on her physical strength to easily block the black greatsword.
The black greatsword didn't cause the slightest ripple when it struck her, and didn't even make her move half a step.
Glancing at Lars behind the middle-aged woman, Gray sheathed his sword and walked down the platform without looking back.
"His Highness Lars has lost!"
"Impossible, how could His Highness Lars lose, and to that Gray Fergus at that!"
The younger generation of the Scarlet Kingdom was filled with astonishment, disbelief, and doubt. His Highness Lars, whom they considered to be the strongest, had actually lost, and to Gray Fergus at that. Such an outcome was hard for them to accept.
Some people even lost their wits. Such an outcome was too big of a blow to them.
"Damn, cheating, this is cheating. The use of magic weapons should be banned."
Some people complained loudly, believing that Lars had lost because of his magic weapons, and that the use of magic weapons should be banned.
"The three strongest youths of the three kingdoms have finally lost!"
The faces of the nobles of the Jewel Kingdom were filled with amazement.
In the exchange five years ago, the three strongest youths of the three kingdoms were Francis, Lars Scarlet, and Glynway Austin.
The three of them had maintained an undefeated record, and had fought each other, but the final result was a draw, with no clear victor.
Now, one of the three had finally lost, but what shocked them was that it wasn't the other two who had defeated him, but someone else.
Although he had used a magic weapon to defeat him, he had still been defeated.
"He actually won!"
Even the nobles of the Purple Moon Kingdom couldn't help but be slightly astonished.
Gray was very strong, and they naturally agreed. After all, he had once killed three desolate-grade opponents, and his performance on the battlefield spoke for itself. However, in their opinion, Lars Scarlet was actually stronger.
As a member of the royal family, he had been a Wild Blood Warrior for many years, and his strength was definitely at the peak of the first tier of the desolate-grade. He was definitely not someone that the three desolate-grade opponents Gray had killed could compare to.
Under such circumstances, Gray had actually won, and they couldn't help but feel astonished.
"Even Lars Scarlet, who is as famous as His Highness Francis, was defeated. His strength now stands at the peak of the younger generation!"
Looking at Gray walking down from the platform, Jessa's beautiful eyes were full of splendor.
He was indeed someone who couldn't hide his brilliance even in a crowd, and would become the focus of attention wherever he went. It was like this on the battlefield with the Flame Kingdom, and it was like this in the exchange between the Jewel Kingdom and the Scarlet Kingdom.
"He really won!"
The corners of Sophia's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile. Like a blooming violet, she was beautiful and charming, and those who saw her couldn't help but be mesmerized.
"His Highness Lars was actually defeated by a Wild Blood Warrior?!"
Not only the younger generation of the Scarlet Kingdom, but even the older generation of the Scarlet Kingdom had ugly expressions. Lars, who had never been defeated before, had actually been defeated by someone, and by a Wild Blood Warrior at that. Such an outcome was hard to accept.
The Scarlet Kingdom's king-level expert also had a gloomy expression as he spoke in a deep voice.
"I propose that the use of magic weapons be banned in the future exchange!"
