"Begin!" The referee shouted from the side, and the two fighters, who had exchanged names, locked eyes and tension filled the air.
"Drink!" Feng Xiaohuang shouted, her red hair swaying behind her as she charged towards Bexia. What surprised Bexia was that Feng Xiaohuang did not use any weapons and instead opted for hand-to-hand combat.
"Flower Palm!" Bexia also refrained from using her weapon initially. With her right hand placing the battle blade behind her back, she thrust her left hand forward, and it seemed like a blossoming flower exploded in her palm as she struck out.
"Bang!" It was not just a simple collision of bodies, but also a clash of magical power. At the moment of impact, Bexia felt a burning sensation from Feng Xiaohuang's magical power, as if she had touched a hot coal.
Feng Xiaohuang possessed an extremely rare attribute constitution, with her strength mainly derived from the destructive power of fire.
Although she had a fiery attribute and strong destructive magical power, Bexia did not suffer any disadvantages in this exchange. Her own physical strength was formidable, and Feng Xiaohuang's fire power posed no substantial threat to her. In a way, the two fighters were evenly matched.
"You're quite formidable, but now I'll have to take you seriously!" Feng Xiaohuang looked at Bexia with a serious expression, and a pair of almost transparent gloves appeared on her hands, which were her weapons.
"Oh..." Bexia nodded and drew her battle blade from behind her back.
"Xiaohuang, go for it! Beat him!"
"Xiaohuang, go for it!"
"Xiaohuang, go for it!"
"..." Unexpectedly, a group of girls in the audience cheered and rallied for Feng Xiaohuang. They were dressed similarly to her, except for different colors. This reminded him of a common force in Anzu: the dojo!
The dojo was similar to the academy in that it was a kind of organization, but instead of a systemic curriculum, it focused on individual disciples who were personally trained by a master. It could be considered as the difference between a private school and a public school.
The Royal Academy of Anzu was largely a place for status and reputation, while the dojo emphasized learning. In the dojo, there was no need for theoretical foundations or the like. All the time was spent on researching martial arts. In a way, the dojo was much stronger than the academy.
Moreover, opening a dojo in Anzu was not an easy task. It required extreme strength, and not just any kind of extreme strength, but being recognized as a "master" in a certain field by the public. Otherwise, even if you opened a dojo, no one would likely go.
"Inferno Dance!" With the aid of her magical power, Feng Xiaohuang's hair flowed in the wind, and a red aura appeared on her body. This was a situation that typically only occurred for those with extreme strength, yet it happened for someone whose elemental constitution was not even at the middle level. It showcased the immense power of her elemental constitution.
With another shout, she charged towards Bexia at almost double her previous speed, and the transparent gloves in her hands transformed into two flame-like entities, emanating scorching heat.
"Dance of the Battle Blade!" Bexia stepped back with her right foot, swinging her battle blade forward. This technique emphasized speed and placed extreme demands on one's physical constitution, which happened to be one of Bexia's strengths.
Due to her powerful physical constitution, the power unleashed by the Dance of the Battle Blade surpassed many other martial arts techniques in terms of destructive power.
The attacking power of the Dancing Blade is indeed strong, but standing still and not understanding defense is not a problem either, especially when the Dancing Blades are swung tightly. Even a feather floating by would probably require dozens of strikes to break through, let alone someone as big as Feng Xiao Huang. How could it be so simple to surpass her defense?
"Hmph!" Feng Xiao Huang suddenly stopped her attack. She couldn't handle the impenetrable Dancing Blades, but if you just stand there and let me wear you down!
"Inferno Dance - Flame Fly!"
As Feng Xiao Huang stepped back, she forcefully pushed out a palm, and a flaming hand shot out from her hand. It directly hit Bexia's Dancing Blades, causing an immediate explosion upon contact, and the flames scattered, forcing Bexia to evade.
Bexia was surprised that her opponent also had long-range attack methods. He hadn't noticed and almost fell into this person's trap.
During his brief retreat, Feng Xiao Huang kicked at him three times from a distance, sending three flames flying towards him, forcing him to defend himself with his Dancing Blades.
"Radiant Blade Rush!" After breaking the three fireballs with his Dancing Blades, Bexia immediately used the assault martial technique from the Blade Art, transforming his body along with the Dancing Blades into a flash of light, piercing straight towards Feng Xiao Huang.
"Sizzle!"
What surprised Bexia, however, was that Feng Xiao Huang actually grabbed onto his Dancing Blades. The sharp blade continuously sparked against her seemingly thin gloves, and her seemingly delicate body actually possessed such strength, which Bexia hadn't expected.
And with only using partial strength, she actually caught his Dancing Blades!
"Hey!" Bexia didn't think too much and directly increased his own strength. As a result, Feng Xiao Huang's face turned pale, immediately letting go of the gripping Dancing Blades. But her right leg swept towards Bexia's waist, carrying a strong gust of wind. If it hit, it would probably be quite painful.
Although Bexia had a strong body, he didn't block it. After all, his opponent had a flame physique, and there was also her fire power within this kick. Who knew how strong its power was?
"Crack!" Bexia freed up one hand and grabbed onto Feng Xiao Huang's leg. It felt slippery to the touch, but her leg didn't have the same softness as Christine's. It was comparatively tougher, probably a result of long-term training!
But soon, Bexia let go, because this wasn't just an ordinary "fire leg". The heating sensation caught him off guard, even stronger than before. Moreover, after releasing it, Feng Xiao Huang immediately changed her move. Her leg turned and kicked towards Bexia's leg.
This time, Bexia didn't dodge, and he took her kick head-on. A heating sensation entered his body from the outside, but it wasn't as strong as imagined and was quickly eliminated by Bexia's powerful body. After all, his body was forged from the divine punishment, fortified with the "Battle God's Will" within it.
"Inferno Dance - Phantom Flashstep!" Seizing the advantage, Feng Xiao Huang immediately launched another attack after hitting Bexia. This time, her speed had increased again. Both her fists and feet were her weapons, and for a moment, the sound of metal striking against metal constantly rang out. The two of them continuously attacked and defended each other for dozens of moves in a very short amount of time. However, what surprised Bexia was that with each movement of Feng Xiao Huang, she left behind an illusory flame phantom, and these dozens of flame phantoms tightly surrounded him.
"It seems like I've won!" Feng Xiaohuang stepped on her foot, using the force to fly backwards, a victorious smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Dance of Flame - Phantom Burst!"
In an instant, dozens of flame phantoms surrounding Bexia burst out one after another, the intense flames surged and roared...
