Chapter 210 – Historical Meaning and Promise (1)

The flames scattered in the air, and the air distorted under the high temperature.

The sound of weapons clashing and hammering disappeared, and the scene fell silent.

Looking at Zhou Jing, bathed in lightning and emitting a powerful aura, everyone in the stands felt their hearts jolt.

(TL Note: Pun intended.)

Everyone had seen Zhou Jing releasing the lightning. This was a new ability that had never been seen in the Mutant Blood Warriors

-proving that the V3 Potion was a huge success.

It could actually suppress a five enhancement in the fourth enhancement stage… What a powerful effect!

Of course, everyone knew that this was related to Jace, who was already very powerful, to begin with.

Only when a powerful potion was combined with a powerful hunter could it demonstrate such effectiveness.

Jace was the perfect user of the V3 Potion!

“Keriber was actually put into such a sorry state. How long has it been since I saw him get beaten up?”

“The commander won’t die because of this,

right?”

There was no lack of hunters who had undergone four enhancements in the crowd. However, when they saw the combat strength Jace had displayed, their palms started to sweat. They realized that even though they were both at the fourth enhancement, they were far from being Jace’s match.

At that moment, the pile of rocks that buried Keriber creaked as gravel rolled down.

Pang!!

The stone pile suddenly exploded!

Amidst the flying stones, Keriber jumped into the air, shooting toward Zhou Jing’s direction.

The war hammer was raised above his head, and his entire body was like a spring filled with power. The moment he landed, the war hammer drew an arc and smashed down heavily.

Boom!

The ground shattered!

From the center of the hammerhead, thick cracks extended out from the ground.

However, Zhou Jing, who was originally in his original position, had already disappeared and flashed more than ten meters away.

“I almost hit you.” Keriber took a deep breath, his tone regretful.

“You were way off, okay?” Zhou Jing corrected.

At this moment, Keriber was in a sorry state. The leather armor on his body had been shattered by the thunderfire explosion, leaving only some charred armor plates still stuck to his body. His huge muscles were clearly visible, covered in red and black burn marks.

His hair and beard were all singed and curled up. It looked like one could easily pull them all off, but they were still stubbornly stuck to his skin, preventing Keriber’s head from turning into a smooth braised egg.

However, this injury was only a superficial wound. Although it was painful and uncomfortable, it was still far from affecting his combat strength… After decades of hunting, he had suffered countless injuries. This small amount of pain could not affect his movements.

Zhou Jing took a closer look before shaking his head, “It seems that such an attack is not enough to severely injure you.”

“You really intended to seriously injure me?” Keriber grinned, his action causing bits of burnt beard to fall off.

“If I didn’t have such thoughts, how can I even dare to go against you?” Zhou Jing pressed down on the hilt of his saber and casually fiddled with it, but he did not attack again.

With Keriber’s resistance that was at the Second Order limit, if he did not be ruthless, his attacks would probably only be able to tickle the former. Therefore, Zhou Jing could rest assured and launch a bold attack.

However, he still had some tricks up his sleeve. At the very least, after the five lightning strikes to Keriber, he did not use the blade to directly slash at Keriber’s vital points. While his momentum might not be as astonishing as the Thunderfire Explosion he created, his supersonic slashes were more fatal. There was a high chance that he could cause damage to his limbs and organs.

The impact of his Thunderfire Explosion was very strong, and if it hit an ordinary person, it would have long blasted them into bits. However, to Keriber, it only crossed the threshold of effective damage, and while it caused a certain amount of actual damagefar from being serious… This was because Jason’s energy attribute was not as high as his physical fitness.

Zhou Jing patted the scabbard, “How is it? Do you still want to fight? I can do this all day.”

“… Forget it for now. The King doesn’t have time to wait a day.” Keriber shook his head to shake off his burnt beard and hair. He touched his smooth head gloomily and suppressed the fighting spirit in his heart. He helplessly continued, “Let’s treat it as a draw.”

Zhou Jing was not surprised to hear this. He knew that he had taken advantage of the convenience of intelligence and weapons to ambush his old comrade.

Of course, with such an advantage, he would not deliberately ignore it. Knowing how to use all kinds of advantageous factors was a form of combat training.

Now that Keriber had suffered a loss, he would naturally take precautions. If he used Lightning Release and the power of his weapon once more, it would not work as easily as before.

Both of them had their own advantages. If they continued to fight, it was hard to say who would win.

It depended on whether he could rely on his speed advantage to accumulate damage and defeat the thick-skinned Keriber first. Otherwise, his speed would slowly decrease if Keriber continued to sap at his stamina.

If he was careless, Keriber might seize the opportunity to swing his hammer at him. He did not have such high resistance to ignore a frontal hit from that hammer.

Therefore, it would be difficult to determine the winner in less than half a day… After all, this was a spar.

If it were a life and death battle, as long as Zhou Jing killed this old hunter with lightning, there was a high chance that the battle would end.

They unanimously decided not to fight in front of the King for too long. They decided to wrestle more in private in the future to satisfy each other’s desire to fight.

Keriber tore off the charred leather armor on his body, not bothering to deal with the burns. With his physique, he would recover in a few days at most. He did not care much about his injuries. This old hunter had fought for his entire life and was open-minded. He would not get angry just because he was injured in a spar. Instead, he was envious of Zhou Jing’s ability and praised him endlessly.

“Your electric shock is not bad. It’s even stronger than some mutant beasts. If it were any other hunter, they would have been electrocuted in two or three moves. You would have completely subdued them. It seems like this ability will truly widen the gap in combat strength for hunters.
