What kind of fighting style was this?
The two didn't really clash.
One launched a wide area of effect attack after attack.
But that kind of attack consumed the most energy!
Sariel, on the other hand, was afraid Lan Jue would lay a trap for her. She didn't dare go all out.
However, her own energy was constantly being consumed in the Lightning Forest.
"Wait.
This Zeus isn't as strong as he used to be. "Metatron blurted out.
The Gourmet, seated in the row in front of him, heard him. He couldn't help but smirk. But it was too late.
He couldn't have alerted Sariel in the ring.
Of all the spectators, only a few understood the effort Lan Jue put into his strategy.
His goal couldn't be simpler, and that was to exhaust the enemy!
Sariel's energy was drained.
In terms of pure power, there was a vast gap between the two. Ninth level second rank versus sixth level. Lan Jue was a Dual Adept, and had a solid foundation. But with such a large gap in power, he'd have to pay a hefty price to defeat Sariel. He'd even have to use some of his trump cards.
However, the situation was different now.
Lan Jue was draining Sariel's energy. On the surface, it looked like he was draining more than Sariel.
But in reality, because of the limitations of his power, he was draining less energy than when he was ninth level seventh rank.
Don't forget, he still had a power gem on him that was like a bug. The Phylactery Stone!
Even Lan Jue didn't know how much energy the Phylactery stone could store.
The tournament didn't forbid the use of power gems or weapons.
As long as it wasn't a mecha, it was fine.
Besides.
Power gems had to be fused with the user's body.
Bloodline fused as well.
This was a requirement for transformed Adepts.
Bloodline gems couldn't be replaced, unless the body was no longer connected to it. Transforming Adepts had to pay a hefty price to replace a bloodline gem.
Upon entering the sports center, all participants had to be scanned. As long as they didn't possess a bloodline fusion power gem, they wouldn't be allowed inside.
Lan Jue's Divine Stone was naturally not a problem. It had already fused with his left hand.
Lan Jue usually had nothing to do.
However, the Divine Phylactery Stone was like a bottomless pit. No matter how much energy was poured in, there seemed to be no end.
It was the same feeling when he used it.
Therefore, he didn't need to worry that he would exhaust himself by continuously using the Forest of Lightning.
He had the backing of the Divine Violet Stone.
How would Charlie know?!
Due to her innate fear, she had been too conservative from the start. As expected, Lan Jue's fighting style was effective.
The battle lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour, and both sides were constantly consuming their Arcana.
Charlie's energy level had dropped to around 60%.
No!
Charlie finally noticed something as well.
Although she was not sure, but.
Under normal circumstances, Lan Jue's energy should have been depleted by now.
However, he still looked full of vigor. There must be something wrong with this.
Until now, she hadn't expected Lan Jue's cultivation to regress. After all, it was inconceivable for an Adept.
But she decided to fight it out no matter what. Otherwise, she wouldn't even know how she lost in the end.
Thinking of this, Charlie suddenly stopped chasing. She pointed her sacred sword at the sky. The crescent moon in the sky quickly turned into a full moon, just like when she fought Chu Cheng.
Blinding moonlight erupted from her body.
Every time the powerful radiance changed, it caused her aura to rise a little.
An incomparably powerful energy fluctuation also appeared.
The six wings on her back had turned milky white.
Lan Jue wasn't surprised by this.
Charlie was a rank six Arcanist. It was already quite impressive that he had been able to last this long.
Naturally, a direct confrontation was inevitable.
The lightning spear in Lan Jue's hand vanished. He hadn't actually used it since the start of the fight.
His hands assumed a posture of holding up the sky and the Forest of Lightning erupted once more. Compared to before, this Forest of Lightning was clearly much stronger.
The violet lightning turned gold, and the power of Law flickered in and out of existence.
Tyrannical bolts of lightning transformed the entire arena into a sea of gold. Even a Sovereign couldn't tell what was going on with their eyes alone.
Charlie also felt the pressure increase, but at this time, she had no other choice but to attack.
She clasped her sacred sword with both hands and let out a cry. Moonlight descended from the sky and merged with her body.
She swung her sacred sword, swinging it through the air.
In the blink of an eye, it was as if a milky white serpent had sprung up from the floor of the arena. It shot straight for Lan Jue.
Charlie was using all her power to lock onto Lan Jue. If he tried to dodge, he'd be attacked again, and he'd be forced into an even more passive position.
Once one's cultivation reached a certain level, it wasn't so easy to pull off tricks.
Lan Jue's hands curled in front of his chest as the golden bolts of lightning surged outward. It was as if he were shrouded in a barrier of golden light.
As he watched the sword light descend, his footwork suddenly became strange. He took eight steps in a row, and on the ground, a black and white pattern of Yin and Yang fish silently appeared. Then, he raised his hands, and his whole body twisted in a strange way.
An ingenious black and white arc blocked Charlie's sword under the cover of the golden light.
The white dragon's light flared.
"Boom--!" The entire stage's barrier trembled violently.
Having learned their lesson, powerful Adepts were stationed around the stage, responsible for injecting energy into it. They also used power gems to strengthen the barrier's defenses.
Even so, the barrier trembled for a full ten seconds before it finally calmed.
Light surged around the stage, then subsided.
Lan Jue and Charlie reappeared before everyone's eyes.
Lan Jue appeared in Sariel's original position. Sariel took his place, and the two of them swapped places.
Lan Jue's expression was serene. Lightning crackled around her, and everything seemed normal.
However, Charlie's face was clearly a little pale, and there was extreme shock in the depths of his eyes.
