464: Battle against Carlos

“No way?!”

Hearing Chu Youxiong's words, Chai Yue raised an eyebrow in surprise.

“Talia’s profession is an Asura Warrior, similar to Lu Tingyi. The more she fights, the stronger she gets when she goes berserk.”

“Just look at Du Jijun, that rookie; he usually has a Rank advantage, but isn’t he still getting knocked down every now and then?!”

“Damn it!”

“Chai Yue, can you stop with the personal attacks?”

Du Jijun snorted in dissatisfaction, but he wasn’t angry. Instead, he looked at Chu Youxiong in confusion.

Clearly, he also couldn’t figure out why Chu Youxiong would come to such a conclusion.

But at this moment.

“It’s the lightning!”

Wang Chen suddenly spoke:

“Carlos is using a trap. Every time their attacks collide, the lightning power he carries will interfere with Talia.”

“Although the diffused lightning power is very subtle with each collision, it accumulates over time, becoming the last straw that breaks the camel’s back.”

As soon as he heard Senior Chu’s words, he focused his attention on Talia, observing carefully.

Then he discovered that from the start of the battle until now, Talia’s speed and strength had both decreased to varying degrees.

This rate of decrease far exceeded the normal speed of physical exhaustion.

Carlos was slowly releasing his lightning power to affect Talia, like boiling a frog in warm water, constantly controlling the rhythm of the battle.

“Ah?”

Hearing Wang Chen’s words, Chai Yue and the others were all stunned. Chu Youxiong, however, looked at Wang Chen in surprise, clearly not expecting him to be so meticulous.

“Wang Chen is right.”

“The situation reaching this point has always been Carlos’s intention. His control over his own power is much stronger than Du Jijun’s.”

“Moreover, the lightning power released each time is very little, accumulating until Talia discovers it, by then it’s already too late.”

Chu Youxiong nodded, supplementing Wang Chen’s words.

At this moment, even if Chai Yue and the others hadn't fully grasped the intricacies, they understood from the live broadcast.

In the screen, Carlos and Talia’s attacks collided once again.

And after the collision, Talia, who should have launched another fierce attack, suddenly had a burst of electric light appear on her body, causing her swung long blade to freeze in mid-air.

“It’s over!”

Carlos let out a soft cry at this moment, his left arm suddenly wrapped in dazzling purple lightning, and he punched heavily, striking Talia’s face.

The White Bear mask shattered, and the image on the live screen froze.

…

“Damn it!”

“You two guys were actually right.”

Seeing this scene, Chai Yue let out a strange cry, feeling a bit embarrassed.

It was one thing for Chu Youxiong to see these things, but this little guy Wang Chen actually had better eyesight than him!

“What a little monster!”

“If I draw him tomorrow, it looks like I’ll have to be extra vigilant.”

Chai Yue thought with a bit of trepidation.

However, Wang Chen didn’t notice Senior Chai’s change at this moment. He looked at the frozen image on the live screen, and a storm raged in his heart.

After Talia’s White Bear mask shattered, it revealed a face that was incredibly familiar to him.

Indeed, it was identical to the life-saving statue he took out to nourish every day!

“This…”

Wang Chen swallowed, feeling as if he had been set up.

“Let’s go.”

“The competition is over, why are you still standing there in a daze? Don’t tell me you’ve fallen for Talia?”

At this moment, Chai Yue leaned over and asked, winking.

He naturally saw that Wang Chen’s gaze towards Talia on the screen was a bit off.

“No…”

Coming back to his senses, Wang Chen shook his head and asked in a low voice:

“Senior Chai, what is the relationship between this Talia and Lord Charles of the fortress?”

“Hmph!”

Chai Yue raised an eyebrow, looking at Wang Chen with a face full of surprise:

“Did you learn physiognomy, kid? Talia is Lord Charles’s granddaughter.”

“How did you figure that out?”

Hearing this, Wang Chen pursed his lips and didn’t answer.

He couldn’t possibly say that he infused Mental Energy into Talia’s statue every night to nourish it, could he?

If he said it, he would definitely be seen as a pervert!

“No wonder Senior Brother looked so strange back then. So this statue is such a hot potato?!”

Muttering to himself, Wang Chen finally understood where the sense of familiarity he felt when he saw Talia came from.

At this moment, he didn’t even dare to look back.

He just felt a cold gaze staring at him from behind.

Oh, my heavens!

…

…

Global Prodigy Competition, Day Seven.

As soon as the main arena opened, the stands were already packed.

Today was the last day of the competition, and also the most intense day. The highly anticipated title of First Prodigy would be decided today.

All spectators were looking forward to seeing who would overpower their fellow Prodigies and claim this brilliant title this year!

The time reached eight o’clock.

The contestants entered.

In an instant, the clamor in the main arena disappeared, and everyone’s gaze fell on the four figures walking out from the entrance.

“It’s finally reached the final stage!”

“Who will the title of Global First Prodigy ultimately go to this year?”

“It’s probably Dragon Country. Out of the four contestants who reached the final stage, Dragon Country occupies three spots, one more than the previous competition!”

“It feels like this year’s Global First Prodigy title will be chosen from among Dragon Country’s contestants.”

When the contestants stood on the high platform, the audience couldn’t help but discuss.

No other reason.

Only four contestants advanced in the fifth round, and Dragon Country occupied three spots, which immediately made Wang Chen and the others the most eye-catching individuals in the entire arena.

Carlos of Eagle Country stood beside them, his brilliance completely overshadowed.

“Welcome everyone to watch the competition live.”

At this moment, the host walked onto the high platform with the drawing box. After bowing to all sides, he unhesitatingly announced the start of the drawing session.

Soon.

Wang Chen and the other three each received a numbered ball, and the match list appeared.

First match, Wang Chen vs. Carlos.

Second match, Chai Yue vs. Chu Youxiong.

After the match list appeared, the competition quickly began.

…

In the battle arena.

The tall Carlos was fully armed, looking calmly at Wang Chen.

“Finally, I’ve met you, Wang Chen!”

“I wonder if I am worthy enough for you to summon all your beast companions?”

He grinned, and his gloved hands lightly clapped in front of him, sparking faint electric light.

Opposite.

“Of course!”

“You are an opponent worth going all out against, so I naturally won’t hold back!”

Wang Chen nodded calmly, his eyes surging with intense Battle Intent.

As the two spoke, the countdown came to an end.

With a bang.

Lightning erupted from Carlos’s body, and his fists, wrapped in strong wind, smashed towards Wang Chen.

However, he missed this time, as Wang Chen had also moved at the same instant.
