The second day of the Final Round of the Knight Exam…
TRANGS!
TRANGS!
A SLAAASSSH!
A SLAAASSSH!
YOAAARRRR!
The arena floor clanked and glittered.
Two figures darted to and fro, bouncing between the light storm and the clashing metal explosion. Darting and moving places in an instant like a string of interlocked lightning.
Both are fast.
The audience did not want to blink. Don't want to miss a second.
It was the fiercest fight during the Knight Trials.
Sure was!
It was Shen Zhu!
Facing Shi Tan, Champion Path Participant of the Zen stream. Youth dressed as ninjas with two katanas.
Their every move created a burst of light. Every swing of their swords left a gale of strong wind. Every trace of their footprints made the arena shake.
"Because my sword has been drawn, you better not let me down!" growled Shen Zhu as he swept a twisting kick at Shi Tan's nape.
Shi Tan bowed as he swung his two swords backwards.
A SLAAASSSH!
A strong wind whipped from the tip of his sword, throwing a sickle-shaped light energy that flew around and lunged towards Shen Zhu from his left and right sides.
Shen Zhu bounced his body and salted to avoid the two.
YOAAARRRR!
The two light energies clashed and exploded. A bright light rose from the explosion.
The two participants disappeared momentarily from view, then reappeared like two comets streaking from two opposite directions with different colors.
Then collide.
A TRAAAAANG!
Shi Tan crossed his two swords in front of his face, while Shen Zhu pushed the two swords with his sword.
"Instead," muttered Shi Tan as he pushed back. "Because your sword has been drawn.It is best to give a heavy attack!"
GLAAAAAAARRRH!
The clash of spiritual energy both exploded unstoppably.
Both are bouncing.
Then quickly, the two of them immediately gained control and ran as fast as lightning from the opposite direction, preparing to hit each other again.
Shi Tan tossed his body while swinging his two swords across. A cross-cut sickle-shaped beam of light shot towards Shen Zhu.
Shen Zhu banged his body backwards while holding his sword in front of his face with both hands, then swung it upwards.
YOAAARRRR!
The light energy of the two clashed again.
The audience gasped and gasped.
In the next instant, Shen Zhu had already soared past Shi Tan in a swerving motion, then twisted behind Shi Tan's back while landing his elbow at the nape of the ninja.
Shi Tan staggered slightly, but did not fall. Quickly, he turned his body facing towards Shen Zhu, then circled the young man in the same manner.
Then the two swirled like a slender, smashing into each other from a close distance.
Shi Tan swung his elbow after Shen Zhu's rib.
Simultaneously, Shen Zhu also swung his knees eyeing Shi Tan's waist.
But quickly, Shi Tan also managed to fend it off with a palm.
Shortly after, the two pushed each other with clasped swords. A storm of light and strong winds whirled around the two.
Explosions again erupted from the palms of the two and again both bounced in two opposite directions.
The two landed on the edge of the arena across the street. Then put up the horses again.
Shi Tan tossed his body into the air while crossing his two swords in front of his face, then swung it backwards. A magic formation circle was created from the flickering of the two and settled down onto the soles of his feet, forming a transparent floor as his footstool.
Shen Zhu dropped himself to the floor in a kneeling position, one leg folded back, the other leg flexed in front of his chest. One of his hands rested on the handle of his sword that was stuck on the floor, the other hand punched the antai. A magic formation circle was created on the floor.
The audience seemed to be getting excited.
It finally started to look like a zen stream! thought everyone.
A moment later, both of them had already floated by resting on their respective magic circles. Both mounted horses with drawn swords.
Shen Zhu held his sword in front of his face with both hands while closing his eyes. Ducting the fire element into the palm of the hand and draining it to the tip of the sword.
Shi Tan spread his hands to the side with each sword stretched straight at his side. Then swing it forward and cross it in front of the face.
YOOOOOOOOOO!
A pair of different-colored dragons wriggled from behind his back. One is gold, the other is bluish white. Then the two swirled around his body.
GLAAAAARRR!
Shen Zhu's sword exploded emitting a five-meter-high flame from the tip of his sword like a laser.
A second later, the two attacked each other from a distance, catapulting out their respective elements.
YOAAARRRR!
The thundering arena was swept away by the light and thunderous explosions.
The illusion of the golden dragon of the metal element evaporated while the bluish-white dragon of the water element charged towards Shen Zhu and extinguished the fire element in his sword.
"Will he eventually lose this round?" the audience wondered.
But at the same time, Shen Zhu tightened the grip of both his hands on the hilt of his sword with a slight jolt and instantly his palm flowed an extreme cold energy from the ice element which in an instant exploded on the tip of his sword and froze the illusion of a dragon created from the element of water.
Everyone was suffocating and gasping.
Shi Tan blinked and tapped his sword again to channel the third element he possessed.
But Shen Zhu had already soared in the middle of the ice dragon statue while swinging his sword in an agile dance that slashed to and fro in a split second.
YOAAARRRR!
The ice dragon statue exploded spitting out a sharp white light like hundreds of lasers emitted here and there.
The spectators were suffocating while crossing their hands in front of the face.
Shi Tan froze with a frown, thinking hard. He has all the elements, he reminds himself. Element techniques will be useless to him. What do I still have? he tried to think fast.
Shi Tan sighed heavily and shook his head. He lowered both hands and admitted defeat.
Element technique was the only mainstay skill of the zen stream.
"Knight Number Seven-seven wins!" The show host announced.
The arena was thunderous with spectacular applause. Women scream hysterically while prancing around.
Shen Zhu bowed with a grim look. Feeling a little disappointed. He was very passionate at the beginning, he said in his heart. Fought desperately for the sake of getting the blue manna. Is it just this way?
Shi Tan walked up to him with a helpless look on his face, "Sorry," he regretted. "I let you down. But know besides elemental techniques there's nothing else I can be proud of. You're not a zen-flow person, but you master the elemental technique better than the zen-flow person himself. You are indeed an invincible knight!"
Shen Zhu blinked and gasped. "Elemental techniques are not the only ones that the zen stream has," he said as he bowed respectfully to the army. "Not even the main one!"
Shi Tan bent back with a frown.
"The main thing about the zen flow is the reality!" Shen Zhu. Then turn around and pass from the arena.
Shi Tan gulped and was stunned. Is he really only fifteen? his inner.
