Chapter 89: The Final Showdown
“Magic and Martial Dual Cultivation!” Xuelian in the VIP viewing area couldn’t help but squint her eyes. Being able to stay by Brother Claude’s side indeed required some skill, and Grandpa Laogeri was also proficient in magic and martial arts dual cultivation. Obviously, this was a tradition passed down from master to disciple.
However, in another separate private room, Laogeri’s eyes flickered as he looked at the dagger in Yuehai’s hand, his thoughts unknown.
Meanwhile, Claude appeared very calm, in stark contrast to the shock of the other magic practitioners and warriors around him. Obviously, having spent some time with Yuehai, Claude had already sensed her secret.
“Magic and Martial Dual Cultivation… Interesting,” Zamiyah said with a faint smile, shifting her gaze to Nicholas.
“Miss Nicholas, it seems that the newcomer from your family is quite talented.”
“You’re too kind, sir.” Although Nicholas responded politely on the surface, she was more puzzled than the others in her heart, wondering when Grandpa Laogeri had taught Yuehai martial skills?
The expressions of the other judges varied, but they all showed interest. However, Leilindor remained unchanged, as if he was about to sleep for a thousand years. On the other hand, Nicholas, after multiple futile reminders, could only feel a deep resentment, wishing that Leilindor would just fall asleep and stay that way!
Meanwhile, the audience below only just reacted at this moment, bursting into enthusiastic discussions one after another.
Magic and Martial Dual Cultivation? And it’s a girl with astonishing proficiency in magic? And on top of that, she’s a super beauty! Who could come up with a more perfect person? Many audience members said that even just catching a glimpse of Yuehai made their long journey worthwhile.
While the audience below was in a noisy uproar, Yuehai and Mo Qingting on the stage didn’t dare to slack off in the slightest.
Mo Qingting glanced at the dagger in Yuehai’s hand. It was very ordinary, so it shouldn’t be any powerful weapon, but rather an iron-grade weapon. Therefore, the real way to break through the Heart Armor was the opponent’s martial arts skills.
If that’s the case, then before her eyes is a super genius who combines magical talent and martial arts talent in one body!
Moreover… Mo Qingting’s eyes showed a hint of envy.
And she’s also a stunning beauty.
There are plenty of people who can break through the Heart Armor, but being defeated by a magician using martial arts is something Mo Qingting never considered. She had heard that Lord Laogeri of the Duke of Cyril’s mansion was skilled in both magic and martial arts, but she never expected his disciple to be capable as well.
On the other hand, Yuehai was even more troubled than Mo Qingting. She couldn’t even handle the first move, so the incomplete second move, whether in terms of stability or the time needed to gather power, would make it easy for Mo Qingting to seize the opportunity and break through.
She had planned to reveal her martial arts skills only at a critical moment to achieve surprise victory, but she didn’t expect Mo Qingting’s assault to be so fierce. Forced to do so, she had no choice but to use the Heavenly Sword Unity to break through. What surprised her even more was that even this attack only managed to force Mo Qingting out of the state of the Heart Armor, let alone inflict serious harm. Even a scratch seemed difficult to achieve.
How high is this woman’s original realm? Clearly, she’s even more powerful than the dozen or so martial artists from before! Yuehai complained inwardly. It seemed like fate was punishing her for cheating by selecting such a formidable opponent.
As time passed, both Mo Qingting and Yuehai could see that the sand in the hourglass indicated they could only endure one more confrontation.
So, whether to attack or defend would have to be decided, and it would directly impact the final outcome.
A brief moment of contemplation lasted only a second, and all the questions in their minds were resolved. The next moment, the battle began!
The best defense is a good offense! Mo Qingting understood this principle well. With her extensive combat experience, she suddenly accelerated using the momentum of her body technique, Heart Flowing Water. Yuehai felt the air solidify once again very clearly!
Yuehai chose to retreat, but she was contemplating another question. In the previous exchanges, Mo Qingting’s use of body technique also caused the air to solidify in a short time. Subsequently, she would move the solidified ‘chunk’ of air comprehensively under the movement of her body technique. This is why Yuehai had a sense of an impending storm, as if a tsunami was imminent. It’s like dragging a snowball in the snow – as you run, the snowball will roll bigger and bigger, and the momentum will become increasingly overwhelming. This also explains why Dragon Slayer said that when Heart Flowing Water reaches its peak, it becomes extremely tricky.
Yuehai frowned deeply. She was facing many constraints right now, especially concerning her body technique. Not to mention that she had only mastered half of her body technique, even if she had mastered the first fold of the myriad folding techniques. As Yuehai, she couldn’t use it, because later she would have to appear as Tyr. If she exposed her body technique for others to see, and then Tyr herself also used the same body technique, Yuehai felt that her good days at the Duke’s mansion would be over.
So, obviously, there was only one choice now, right?
Defense! Hold out to the end!
However, with Mo Qingting’s aggressiveness, simply defending would obviously be suicidal. Moreover, with the momentum of her body technique growing stronger and stronger, Yuehai had to make a counterattack that threatened her opponent in order to defend effectively.
Triple Speed Spell! In the instant that Yuehai retreated, she suddenly tapped her toe and bizarrely rushed towards Mo Qingting.
“!?” Mo Qingting was obviously confused by the opponent’s move of retreating and then recklessly charging forward. Although the opponent knew martial arts, it was clear that they lacked experience in combat. Moreover, their advantage lay in the power of sword techniques. Engaging in close combat with someone as experienced as herself was extremely unwise. So, if the opponent wasn’t just brave but also had a means to counter her, then it was clear that the person in front of her was not the former.
