The instant the countdown disappeared, Guan Yang suddenly opened his eyes, and a dense killing intent and battle intent erupted from him, rushing straight towards Guo Jiahao!
A flash of light in his hand, and the phantom of a Guan Dao overlapped with the Guan Dao in his hand, then he dragged the Guan Dao behind him and charged towards his target!
This was the “Blade Dragging Tactic”!
In his original world, the Blade Dragging Tactic was used when one was physically exhausted, but in this world, in Guan Yang’s understanding, the Blade Dragging Tactic had become a skill that could accumulate power!
The increasingly high energy fluctuations, combined with Guan Yang’s body full of killing intent and battle intent, plus the sparks dragged by the Guan Dao on the ground, an unstoppable momentum appeared on him, making Guo Jiahao, who was on the opposite side, instantly break out in a cold sweat and feel at a loss!
Although he had little actual combat experience, he keenly sensed that something was wrong! If Guan Yang charged over like this, he would surely die!
That’s right, under the influence of the killing intent, he truly believed at this moment that Guan Yang would go for the kill!
Seeing Guan Yang charging over like a high-speed train, Guo Jiahao finally overcame the fear in his heart, stretched out his right hand, gritted his teeth, and shouted, “Intense Flash!”
In an instant, a dazzling golden-red light appeared, enveloping Guan Yang completely with high temperature and a faint trace of the power of rules!
This was originally a minor spell in light-attribute magic, like a flashbang, which could temporarily blind the eyes, but under Little Fatty’s talent boost, it had become an area-of-effect attack spell!
In Guo Jiahao’s estimation, this move would at least somewhat hinder Guan Yang’s charge, allowing him an opportunity to dodge and to cast other spells!
Just as he was thinking about where to dodge later, a domineering voice rang out from within the light: “Crescent Slash!”
The Guan Dao, emitting a cyan light, directly sliced through the dazzling, scorching light head-on, like a sharp blade cutting through white paper, and fiercely chopped down towards Guo Jiahao!
In his dazed gaze, it passed not far from his nose, directly striking the ground, leaving a shallow blade mark.
Guan Yang stood there unharmed, his momentum already retracted, and cupped his fists with a smile, saying, “Vice President, I concede.”
Hearing Guan Yang’s voice, Guo Jiahao finally realized that he had lost, then his legs went weak, and he slumped to the ground, sweating profusely, his face pale as he murmured, “How is this possible? I clearly already…”
“You clearly already used the power of rules, didn’t you?” Lu Chenxing spoke calmly from the side of the arena, while Xiao Zhi had already gotten off him and stood beside him, looking at the two people in the arena with adoration.
Hearing Lu Chenxing’s words, Guo Jiahao looked over and couldn’t help but say, “Yes, Boss Lu, I already used the power of rules, how could this happen?!”
Lu Chenxing extended a finger and said seriously, “First, your actual combat experience is too little, and you were intimidated by Guan Yang’s aura, not knowing how to respond.”
“Second, you committed a major taboo on the battlefield: being timid before the fight!”
“Third, in your imagination, the battle should have been at least evenly matched, but it got out of your control from the very beginning, so you didn’t know what to do. Still too little actual combat experience!”
“Fourth, you blindly believe in the power of rules. You should know that you are still at Tier 1 now, and the rules are still very weak at this stage, offering limited help to you. You need to reach at least Tier 3 for the rules to provide a significant boost.”
“Fifth, you underestimated the opponent’s strength. Seeing Guan Yang charging over with a power-accumulating move, wanting to get close, and yet you stood still, intending to intercept him head-on – this is also a major taboo!”
After listing the five points, Lu Chenxing concluded with a smile, “In short, you’re weak, and you need to practice more.”
If anyone else had said these words, Little Fatty would have surely blushed and argued a bit, but since it was Lu Chenxing who said it, he could only agree dejectedly.
Behind everyone, a female voice accompanied by footsteps came, saying with a smiling expression, “Boss Lu speaks well! I told you long ago that you should practice actual combat, but you wouldn’t listen, and your father too, always saying to practice after Tier 2. Now look what happened!”
As the words fell, an elegant purple figure appeared before everyone, none other than the Vice President of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, Yu Ziyue!
Guo Jiahao immediately wailed, “Mom, stop talking, I’ll go back and practice right away!”
At this moment, he was also extremely regretful. He was even the Vice President of Paper House, yet he couldn’t even take a single move from a member of his own guild.
“No need to go back and practice, I think it’s pretty good for you to practice here!” Yu Ziyue said with a smiling expression, then nodded to Lu Chenxing, “Long time no see, Boss Lu.”
“President Yu, long time no see,” Lu Chenxing also nodded with a smile.
And Xiao Zhi, beside him, also hid behind his thigh, shyly greeting, “A-Auntie…”
“Oh ~ So well-behaved ~” Yu Ziyue’s eyes lit up the moment she saw Xiao Zhi. Who doesn’t love a cute and sensible human child? She squatted down with a chuckle and waved to Xiao Zhi, “Come, little girl, let Auntie hug you.”
Xiao Zhi looked at Lu Chenxing, and seeing him nod with a smile, she slowly walked forward and was embraced by Yu Ziyue, “Little girl, what’s your name?”
“My name is Long Zhi, and my father is Lu Chenxing,” Xiao Zhi said obediently.
“Oh my, this child is so well-behaved~~” Yu Ziyue rubbed Xiao Zhi’s cheek with her own, feeling the smooth and tender sensation, she even felt several years younger.
Guo Jiahao, who had already stood up at this point, couldn’t help but exclaim, “Mom, aren’t you going to care about your son?”
“Hmph, what’s there to care about you? I see you’re doing very well here with Boss Lu!” Yu Ziyue waved her hand casually, then looked at Guan Yang and Yun Qiaoqiao, “You two must be Boss Lu’s esteemed disciples, right? It’s true that hearing about you is not as good as meeting you, truly extraordinary!”
Upon hearing this, both of them politely introduced themselves and then made a few humble remarks.
“Alright, don’t let my arrival interrupt your fun, you two continue, I’ll watch too,” Yu Ziyue said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Guan Yang and Yun Qiaoqiao both looked at Lu Chenxing, and seeing him nod, they no longer paid special attention to Yu Ziyue, but instead turned to look at Guo Jiahao.
Yun Qiaoqiao asked seriously, “Do you still want to fight me?”
Guo Jiahao originally wanted to say no, but looking at his mother’s teasing face, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and said seriously, “Fight!”
So Yun Qiaoqiao stepped into the arena, replacing Guan Yang, and it became her and Guo Jiahao facing each other.
The surrounding defensive array lit up again, and the countdown reappeared: Three, two, one, begin!
“Spirit of Blazing Flame, transform into a flying arrow! Go!” This time, Guo Jiahao had learned his lesson. The instant it began, he immediately chanted quickly, and a golden-red flame arrow formed, easily the size of a person, and shot rapidly towards Yun Qiaoqiao!
This wasn’t all; the moment the flame arrow flew out, Guo Jiahao conjured another fireball in his hand, just in case.
I will absolutely not fall in the same place twice! Guo Jiahao told himself, his eyes fixed on Yun Qiaoqiao’s movements, but he found that she didn’t seem to be doing anything, just holding something with her hands, one in front and one behind, yet there was nothing there at all.
