463: They are all monsters!
As Wang Chen and Chai Yue chatted, the battle in the arena had reached a fever pitch.
Chu Youxiong maintained his dominant stance, suppressing Patrick like a storm.
On the entire live broadcast screen, a golden flash danced and flickered, and Patrick, who was surrounded, was subjected to multiple attacks almost every second.
However, this guy was incredibly resilient; even though his figure was quite battered, he could still keep up with Chu Youxiong's rhythm.
Sitting in his seat, Wang Chen calmly watched the live broadcast, thinking that the battle would likely conclude very soon.
As he quietly observed, he silently analyzed the strength Senior Chu was displaying at this moment.
A perfect combination of speed and strength.
His previous opponents were too weak to show much, as Chu Youxiong easily dealt with them, but against Patrick, the Shield Warrior, Chu Youxiong clearly brought out his full strength.
The speed, exceeding the limits of what ordinary human eyes could perceive, made the phrase "appearing and disappearing like a ghost" seem pale to describe Chu Youxiong at this moment.
Even with Wang Chen's current strength, he could only barely lock onto Chu Youxiong's figure amidst those illusions.
Moreover, he had to concentrate fully; otherwise, a slight lapse would cause him to lose track of him.
In addition, Chu Youxiong's power burst was also extremely formidable; since the start of the match, he hadn't used any offensive skills, but merely with a pair of fists, he had forced Patrick, a Shield Warrior known for his strong defense, to retreat step by step.
Such strength made Wang Chen feel immense pressure.
If he faced Chu Youxiong, and couldn't restrict his movement speed early on, he would likely fall into a passive, defensive situation.
"It seems I'll have to let Ice Purity unleash her ultimate skill right from the start to create a favorable combat environment for me."
Sitting in his seat, Wang Chen mentally sketched out the scene of his confrontation with Chu Youxiong.
Just then.
"It's my turn to go on stage!"
Chai Yue, who was beside him, suddenly stood up, startling Wang Chen.
Looking up, the live broadcast screen had frozen, and Senior Chu was walking back from the high platform.
"Senior Chai, good luck."
Seeing this, Wang Chen smiled and cheered Chai Yue on.
"Haha, just wait to see my triumphant return!"
Chai Yue laughed loudly and strode towards the high platform.
On the other side, Richard of the West France Empire also stood up.
The battle quickly began.
As Chai Yue said, this match was quite "easy."
As a one hundred seventy-ninth level Earth Warrior.
Chai Yue displayed even stronger defensive capabilities than Patrick, the Shield Warrior.
Richard's attacks were basically ineffective against him, but his counterattacks forced Richard to treat them seriously.
Soon.
The dull and boring exchange of blows ended, and Richard, who possessed decent recovery abilities, was eventually exhausted by Chai Yue.
Wang Chen's mouth twitched slightly at this result.
He had thought that when Senior Chai said he would definitely win against Richard, it meant a direct crushing victory, but he hadn't expected it to turn out this way.
Wearing down the opponent to death, was that even allowed?
"Senior Chai's defense is truly abnormal!"
"He could probably stand there without moving, and even a Awakener who just entered Seven-Turn wouldn't be able to hurt him."
"They are all tough opponents!"
Watching Chai Yue walk back proudly from the high platform, Wang Chen thought with a heavy heart.
Chu Youxiong and Chai Yue had already advanced, and there was no bye opportunity tomorrow; his chances of drawing one of them were two-thirds, with the remaining one-third being either Carlos or Talia.
Such powerful opponents made Wang Chen feel immense pressure.
However, within that pressure, there was also a hint of uncontrollable excitement.
...
"Junior, you seem to be fired up."
During the break while waiting for the last match of the fourth round to begin, Chai Yue felt the Battle Intent rising from Wang Chen and couldn't help but say with a smile:
"Did you feel immense pressure after watching Senior's battle?"
"Don't worry, if we Face each other tomorrow, Senior will go a bit easy."
Wang Chen smiled upon hearing this, not hiding his Real thoughts:
"Indeed, Seniors, your strength is very strong, which puts me under great pressure, but..."
Then he changed the subject, his eyes brightening:
"There's no need to go easy; if you accidentally lose then, how embarrassing would that be for your Face?"
"Oh?"
"It seems Junior, you're full of fighting spirit!"
Chai Yue raised an eyebrow, his Face showing interest.
"Of course, being able to fight against Senior at full strength, just thinking about it makes me impatient."
Wang Chen nodded, his tone very serious in response to Chai Yue's teasing.
"Then I'll wait for you in the arena tomorrow, to see which of us is this year's top Prodigy."
Chai Yue snorted, saying with full confidence.
Pfft!
At this moment, Du Jijun, who was beside them, couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this:
"Chai Yue, you're not putting Old Chu in your eyes!"
"Maybe tomorrow you won't even meet Wang Chen; you'll be eliminated by Old Chu first!"
Hearing his words, Chai Yue raised an eyebrow:
"What Old Chu, Little Chu? I'll make him call me 'Daddy' then!"
As he spoke, he provocatively glanced at Chu Youxiong beside him.
However...
"Childish! Watch the match properly."
Chu Youxiong was completely unmoved, his gaze never leaving the live broadcast screen.
At this moment.
The battle between Carlos and Talia had reached a fever pitch.
As fellow melee Awakeners, the two immediately chose to fight fast, with chaotic Qi currents swirling across the entire screen; even just watching via live broadcast, one could feel the sharp Aura within.
Moreover, their battle was not only intense but also brutal!
On the live broadcast screen, every time their attacks collided, in addition to sparks flying everywhere, there was also dazzling blood splashing around.
In just a moment, both of them were already covered in wounds.
"Truly fierce!"
"Talia is simply an enhanced version of Lu Tingyi; if anyone marries her in the future, they'll probably have a tough time."
Watching the splashing blood on the screen, Chai Yue stroked his chin, his tone somewhat emotional.
His words made Lu Tingyi roll her eyes in displeasure, while Du Jijun beside her shivered, as if recalling some unpleasant memories.
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand."
Chu Youxiong, who had been quiet, gave Chai Yue an annoyed look:
"Carlos and Old Du are both Thunder Warriors; Talia's choice of brutal close-quarters combat prevents him from utilizing his speed advantage."
"Didn't you notice that every time Carlos tried to create distance, Talia dragged him back with an exchange of injuries?"
"She's trying to pull Carlos into her favored Domain, and then defeat him with her rich experience."
"However..."
Chu Youxiong's Face showed a rare expression of regret at this moment.
"Talia's idea is good, but I'm afraid she can't withstand as much as Carlos!"
