At the commentator's seat, Wawa and Maitreya immediately cried out in surprise after seeing Xu Wenliang's action.
"Talisman formation masters are best at using talisman formations to change the terrain to restrict the opponent's movements, thereby fighting for a chance to inscribe the next talisman formation. In the previous battles, Chen Changxing had always done this. Xu Wenliang, on the other hand, learned from the shock during his battle with Xu Wenliang. This time, he actually launched an attack directly from the sky, not giving Bluepool a chance to change the terrain to restrict him at all!"
"Yes, given Xu Wenliang's current realm, although he can't fly in the air, changing directions in the air isn't a problem. Moreover, when Xu Wenliang releases his complete form, his speed has already reached the limit of what can be achieved at his current realm. Bluepool has no chance of dodging his attack at all!"
"Bluepool had no choice but to choose to inscribe the talisman formation on the spot. It's because he has no space to dodge at all. Xu Wenliang's attack is simply too fast … Oh my god, what is this?"
Just as the commentator was analyzing the situation for the audience, a new change had already taken place in the arena. Just as Xu Wenliang descended from the sky and was about to get close to Bluepool, a large amount of spirit qi suddenly gathered around Bluepool, turning into layers of water membranes and wrapping Bluepool within, turning him into an azure water ball!
At the same time, Xu Wenliang's attack finally arrived. It fiercely struck the water ball, causing a series of astonishing ripples to erupt. However, it didn't cause any harm to Bluepool, who was wrapped in the water ball!
Everything happened in the span of two breaths. Even though the commentators were experts of the Aurous Core Stage, their speed of speech was not fast enough to match the movements of the contestants.
"This is a level-one water-repelling talisman formation, a talisman formation used to breathe underwater. Its defensive capabilities are very limited, but did everyone see clearly how many water-repelling talisman formations Bluepool activated in that instant?"
"I recalled, there were at least 30 of them!"
Who would have thought that a simple level-one water-repelling talisman formation would have such a powerful defensive capability after being stacked up?
At least, as commentators, they didn't!
The commentators were stunned by Bluepool's performance, and so were the audience. No one had expected that Bluepool would be able to fend off Xu Wenliang's attack with such a simple level-1 water repelling talisman array at such a critical moment!
Right now, Xu Wenliang was continuously attacking the water ball. However, every time he broke a layer of the water-repelling talisman array, Bluepool would activate another layer or even multiple layers of the water-repelling talisman array with his spiritual force. As they were evenly matched, Xu Wenliang couldn't break through Bluepool's defense at all!
Below the stage, Wang Wenxue, whose talent rune was also of the water attribute, couldn't help but be moved when she saw this scene. The water-repelling rune array could be activated in an instant for her, and it was so fast that she could even skip the inscription process. However, she had never thought that the water-repelling rune array would have such a powerful defensive ability when stacked up!
With Xu Wenliang's current offensive, there was simply no way for him to break through the defense of these dozens of water-repelling talisman arrays!
On the stage, seeing that several of his attacks had ended in failure, Xu Wenliang had no choice but to stop temporarily. Instead, he started to condense the gray blade. He wanted to use the gray blade's powerful penetrative power to pierce through the water ball and severely injure Bluepool!
In the water ball, Bluepool saw Xu Wenliang putting his palms together and knew what Xu Wenliang was going to do. However, other than watching, there seemed to be nothing he could do!
"It's a pity. Although using the stacking of water-repelling talisman arrays for defense is a very creative and genius idea, Bluepool is in the water ball right now. Other than relying on the existing talisman arrays to continuously activate the water-repelling talisman arrays, there's nothing else he can do.
On the contrary, it gives Xu Wenliang enough time to condense the gray blade. With the gray blade's powerful penetrative power, the water-repelling talisman array might not be able to withstand it! "
"You're right. Although Bluepool might lose, this idea of his has given us endless surprises. I think, after this battle, the water-repelling talisman array might change from a very unpopular first-class talisman array to a defensive talisman array with super strong defensive capabilities!"
Just as the commentators were conversing, Xu Wenliang had successfully condensed the gray blade. Without any hesitation, he shot the gray blade towards Bluepool, who was in the water ball. Just then, the layers of water-repelling talisman arrays that enveloped Bluepool suddenly dispersed, turning into a majestic wave of water spiritual force that surrounded Xu Wenliang!
Xu Wenliang didn't expect this to happen. Unable to react in time, he could only retreat hastily. However, right now, the water spiritual force enveloped him from all directions. There was no space for him to dodge at all!
"This is …" The commentator exclaimed. "Bluepool actually took the initiative to disperse the protection of the water-repelling talisman arrays at this critical moment. He wants to surround Xu Wenliang with water spiritual force!"
"But if he does this, Bluepool will be completely exposed to the gray blade!
He … he wants to imitate Chen Changxing and exchange injury for injury! "
Before the commentator's voice died away, the gray blade penetrated the encirclement of the water spiritual force at an extremely fast speed and pierced through Bluepool's chest. The penetrative spiritual force continued to wreak havoc in Bluepool's organs, causing his face to turn as pale as a sheet of paper. He opened his mouth and spat out two mouthfuls of blood!
At the same time, the water spiritual force surrounding Xu Wenliang suddenly became extremely irritable and exploded. It was as if a battleship's cannon had bombarded the surface of the sea, erupting with astonishing waves!
The moment the water spiritual force exploded, Bluepool was also affected. His body was seriously injured once again. He flew backwards and crashed heavily onto the ground. He couldn't help but cry out in agony. On the other side, Xu Wenliang, who was in the center of the water spiritual force explosion, relied on the Mountain Defense Talisman to successfully avoid the disaster!
Under the protection of the Mountain Defense Talisman, Xu Wenliang panted heavily. His face was extremely pale, and the fluorescent light on his body was also extremely dim, as if it could be extinguished at any time.
Finally, Xu Wenliang couldn't hold on any longer and removed his complete form. The moment he returned to his normal state, Xu Wenliang's body was on the verge of collapse. He staggered and fell to the ground with a plop. He had actually fainted from exhaustion!
Looking at Bluepool and Xu Wenliang, who had fainted on the arena at almost the same time, everyone was a little stunned. Was this considered a lose-lose situation?
At this moment, the referee, Wang Qian, had already appeared on the arena. He started to quickly check on Xu Wenliang and Bluepool's physical conditions. After confirming that their lives weren't in danger, he blew the whistle and announced loudly to everyone, "In this battle, Bluepool and Xu Wenliang have fainted at the same time and have lost their ability to fight. Therefore, I declare that this battle has ended in a draw. Both parties, please send out new contestants for the next round!"
