First Duel

The ringing that announced the beginning of the duels was the trigger of a wave of attacks, although it was forbidden to kill, no one wanted to miss this golden opportunity, the chance to become a Beast Warrior!

Chen Feng, Rainer's opponent, began whispering incantations quietly as small water drops filtered from the ground, it seemed like he was attracting all the water close to him!

Within seconds, the water drops gathered to form a small water ball.

"Water!"

After Chen Feng's shout, a whip formed from water landed in his hand.

"Prepare yourself!" The young man swung the whip gently unleashing a wave of water towards Rainer.

The wave was thin and crystalline but the brightness was not due to its transparency but to its sharpness!

Rainer activated his scale armor under his clothes, with time he was able to choose which part of his body to protect as he wished, so he could reduce the waste of spiritual energy.

Soon, green and hard scales like emerald covered his chest and arms, in the eyes of others, Rainer seemed like a fool who was surprised by his opponent's attack.

"Chen Feng! Finish him!"

The red-eyed girls encouraged Chen Feng as if it would boost his attack.

A small figure was among the ocean of girls,she clenched her fists while watching the fight, when she saw that the attack was going to hit Rainer she paled.

Clang!

The sound of metal colliding resounded after the wave of water hit Rainer's chest.

"...!"

"As I thought..."

At first glance, the gentle wave of water hid the power of a blade within. After the collision, Rainer felt a slight discomfort and a white mark appeared on his armor.

Although Chen Feng's attack was powerful for his level, he was not able to break Rainer's defense, his attacks were impotent against him!

"I didn't even feel it..."

Rainer moved his body as if a fly had stung him instead of being attacked.

Chen Feng's eyes looked like they were going to come out of their orbit, he knew he was weaker than Rainer so he attacked with his best technique from the beginning without restraining himself but the result was....nothing!

"It is my turn now!"

While the crowd was still recovering from the initial surprise, Rainer charged against Chen Feng who could not react in time and was about to be stabbed in the shoulder, after all it was forbidden to kill the rival.

The blade flashed as it swayed toward its master's enemy.

As if it were alive, the water whip moved like a snake and coiled itself around the sword, though unable to stop it, it succeeded in deflecting the blade leaving a cut on Chen Feng's shoulder.

Although the cut was profound, it could not be described as incapacitating so the fight continued, while the young man withdrew, he quickly took part of the water and formed a film about his wound, it seemed that this water control incantation was not as simple as it seemed....

"I have to keep him away from me and try to win him by long-range attacks..."Chen Feng thought as he bit his lip in frustration.

Rainer observed how his opponent was keeping his distance from him while forming water spears as sharp as the previous wave, he seemed to sacrifice the area of effect for power and piercing force.

"Trying to exhaust me with long-range attacks... Don't think you're the only one capable of attacking from a long distance." Rainer muttered as his spiritual core began to run like a machine and the energy stored within it circulated through his meridians like a raging water trying to find a way out.

A warm flow crossed his arms until it merged into the Scale of Doom which shone with an ominous flash.

"Eat this!" Shouted a frenzied Chen Feng as he threw a dozen crystalline water spears.

"I'm going to increase the amount this time."

Rainer swung his blade in an ascendant attack as a strange energy emerged from the sword, the energy was colorless but visible to the naked eye, the air crackled as the energy traveled swiftly, it looked like a monster with its jaws open ready to devour its prey!

Chen Feng lost his courage when the water spears he was so proud of vanished into the air!

The matter did not end there, after destroying Chen Feng's attack, the Spatial Cutting continued its way towards the young man as if he were targeted.

No matter how he moved or how much he ran, that strange energy followed him and got closer and closer!

"Although it is forbidden to kill, accidents happen sometimes, knowing when to surrender is not cowardly but wise." Chen Feng recalled the words that an Elder from his clan told him before the tournament and without hesitation he threw himself off the stage without looking back.

Staying alive is more important than anything else!

Without any control of his body, the young man landed in a puddle of mud and with a sound of Splash the ladies who did not stop shouting his name to encourage him were soaked in mud and dirt, although they could have covered their bodies with spiritual energy, the fight surprised them so much that they did not even react to being covered in dirt.

Their idol... their idol lost and in a pathetic way too!

"First duel of the 2nd arena is finished!"
