This time, both of them used weapons. Justin Welan still carried that person-height, heavy shield with more than a dozen centimeters of sharp spikes all over it, looking like a hedgehog.
“Here it comes.”
With a low roar, a majestic and heavy aura erupted from Justin Welan, and a faint earth-colored light emerged on his skin.
Boom!
Justin Welan charged towards Jack Clark with a thunderous roar, and the ground shook slightly with each step he took. The onlookers seemed to see a gigantic turtle charging forward.
Jack Clark was instantly excited, feeling his blood boil.
Roar! Accompanied by a faint elephant roar, an explosive force burst from Jack Clark’s body, and he grabbed the blade with both hands, transforming into a blurred shadow and shot out in an instant.
At this moment, his speed exceeded forty meters per second, and he collided fiercely with the shield, the straight blade carrying terrifying power as it slashed on the shield.
Boom! The air exploded, like the sound of a giant bell.
Jack didn’t activate his True Strength for this attack, relying solely on his normal power burst.
But with the added kinetic energy from his speed, the power of that blade was at least close to three thousand kilograms. It struck the shield, sending out sparks and emanating a powerful airwave.
But Justin Welan stood like a formidable Black Tortoise Solid Earth defense, his feet steady on the ground as if rooted, not even swaying in the slightest.
Jack’s attack was perfectly deflected by Justin’s shield, forming a triangle on the ground.
Under the Mysterious Martial Thick Earth True Skill, his aura connected to the earth beneath him… the concrete floor connected them, keeping him from being moved as long as he stood still. To shake him, Jack’s burst of power would need to be at least twice his own, otherwise, he wouldn’t budge at all.
Whoosh!
Jack’s figure flashed to the side of Justin, the straight blade of his knife tearing through the air, creating an ear-piercing wind due to its incredible speed.
Boom! The furious blade was again blocked by the spiked shield, unable to shake Justin in the slightest despite the explosion of stray sparks.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Jack circled around Justin, slashing several times, but all were blocked by the rapidly spinning shield. From a distance, it looked like Jack’s blade was purposely striking the shield, strangely enough.
“I told you, I’m really strong now.”
Amidst triumphant laughter, Justin Welan charged forward with his shield, like a giant turtle flipping over, as a ferocious wave of countershock suddenly erupted.
Boom! The shield and straight blade collided fiercely, and Jack Clark managed to hold Justin back with both hands on his blade, his figure remained as steady as ever.
“How is this possible, your strength!” Justin Welan was somewhat surprised.
Jack Clark smiled and nodded, praising, “Not bad, your strength has indeed improved a lot after your breakthrough, both in defense and power burst.”
“Next, I’m going to get serious.”
With that, Jack Clark’s True Strength erupted from within, and his muscles swelled under the stimulation of True Strength, as a wild aura shot up to the sky.
At this moment, he was like an enraged giant elephant.
Boom!
With the support of True Strength, Jack Clark clasped the blade with both hands, and in an instant, the air in front of the blade’s edge began to glow red due to the friction from its speed.
Boom!
At the moment of the blade and shield meeting, a muffled thunderous roar erupted, and Justin Welan felt an overwhelming force engulf him, causing him to involuntarily retreat several steps.
Each step caused a slight vibration on the ground, as the majority of the force was channeled to it through his cultivation technique.
Boom!
Without giving Justin Welan a chance to react, Jack Clark charged forward with a step, the ground shaking and the raging wind roaring, as he once again slashed at the center of the shield. The overbearing power sent Justin back several steps once again.
Boom! Boom! Boom!jack Clark took one step and one swing, directly forcing Justin Welan to retreat with his unrivaled and furious strength. The faint earthy glow on his body surface constantly shook and grew darker.
Continuously pushed back by the terrifying strength, Justin Welan’s arms became numb, with an expression as if he had just seen a ghost.
At this moment, Jack Clark’s aura was extremely fierce. Seventeen consecutive strikes forced Justin Welan to retreat thirty meters from head to tail until he was close to the wall before stopping.
Looking at the beautiful youth standing with his sword in the center of the arena, and his black hair flying wildly, the distant Freya Louise’s eyes shone.
Vera Lee, on the other hand, opened her mouth wide in disbelief. Wasn’t it said that once everyone had their breakthrough to Second Layer Heaven, Jack Clark, who practiced low-level martial arts, would appear mediocre in strength?
Is this mediocrity? Even Justin Welan, who has absorbed the Giant Beast Essence and Blood and is stronger on all sides than an ordinary ‘genius,’ was beaten without a chance to fight back.
“Mr. Willard, do you want to continue?”
“No, let’s not fight anymore.” Justin Welan trembled as he put down his shield. As his True Strength dissipated, he felt a slight soreness all over his body.
Phew! This feels great.
Jack Clark took a long breath, feeling incredibly refreshed at this moment. This was the first time he had unleashed his full strength without restraint since his breakthrough to Second Layer Heaven.
Among his classmates, only Justin Welan, the ‘Mysterious Martial,’ could withstand such overbearing slashes from him.
In normal conditions, with the sharpness of an alloy straight blade and Jack Clark’s speed and strength, even a small car in front of him would be split in half with one swoop.
As for why he didn’t continue to slash a few more times, it was because he had run out of True Strength.
This is the drawback of low-level martial arts; the True Strength cultivated is not enough. From his initial breakthrough which lasted ten moves, to half a month later, he can now only unleash his full power seventeen times.
But looking at Justin Welan’s appearance, it seemed like he has abundant True Strength remaining after withstanding those slashes, just that he was frightened by Jack Clark’s violent aura.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that Justin Welan is stronger than him. It just shows that the various advantages of high-level martial arts are significant, including amplification and True Strength endurance.
If it were a life-and-death battle, Jack Clark would be confident in killing him within five strikes.
After all, there is no need for a frontal clash when overwhelming the opponent in both speed and strength. It would be more efficient to sneak attack and kill Justin Welan from behind while he’s retreating continuously.
Justin Welan rubbed his shoulders and said helplessly, “Jack, why is your strength so great? Wasn’t your breakthrough just two days ago?”
“It should be because of the Dragon Elephant Power. My strength has grown stronger and more overbearing as I practice this skill. Therefore, my strength has also become stronger after my breakthrough.”
Jack Clark casually found an excuse.
Justin Welan didn’t believe it, “Come on, my Black Tortoise Solid Earth Skill also focuses on defense and strength, and I have even absorbed Giant Beast Essence and Blood, but it’s not as exaggerated as yours.”
Jack Clark shook his head, “Then it should be because of my compatibility with the Dragon Elephant Power. I’m not very clear myself.”
“…” Justin Welan had nothing to say in response to this reason.
After all, the True Martial Pact is indeed a universal excuse. Haven’t the girls with average talent just flipped through a book to catch up with the practice speed of this so-called ‘genius’?
Among the freshmen, there is also a freak, which is the second place Floward Lee.
He has a perfect match with the high-level martial arts he practiced, and his strength is also exaggerated. Before breaking through the Second Layer Heaven, he was already using an iron column weighing several hundred kilograms as his weapon.
Thinking of this, Justin Welan regretted, “If I had known your strength was so abnormal, I wouldn’t have sparred with you. The repair cost for the weapons this time will be at least a few thousand.”
Both of their weapons were made of F Grade Alloy. Under Jack Clark’s seventeen full-powered strikes, his shield had already been slashed with many deep marks and was full of dents.
Even some of the sharp spikes were broken off.
Similarly, under the mutual impact, Jack Clark’s straight blade also curled inward with many notches appearing on the edge. This situation can only be alleviated when True Strength could cover the weapon later on.
Jack Clark’s eyes lit up, “Mr. Willard, are you going to repair your weapon? By the way, can you help me repair my knife too?”
“…Alright.”
Knowing Jack Clark’s financial situation, Justin Welan agreed readily, even though it seemed like he was just being suppressed moments ago..
