Chapter 63: Chapter 58 Inferiority
The arena was filled with a deafening sound.
War Saber raised, Armored Fighter, a single person, faces the battle!
The hero knew no fear.
“Boom!”
A bursting sound echoed in the arena as the Slaughterer, wielding a War Axe, charged forward like a war monster, sprinting across the arena and heading towards Xu Mo.
That momentum, those blocking his path would die.
Who could fight him?
Armored Fighter, can you fight?
Suddenly, the opponent’s body leapt into the air, carrying a terrifying power, and the War Axe in his hand swung down from the sky, chopping towards Xu Mo. Even those who were merely watching from the stands could feel that extremely brutal force.
Xu Mo bent his knees and leaned forward, gripping the War Saber in his hand.
“Bang.”
Putting force into his feet under the shocked gazes of many, Xu Mo’s body also leapt into the air, charging towards the Slaughterer who was slashing down from above.
“Roar…”
This scene utterly set the arena aboil, like a tsunami.
The Armored Fighter didn’t avoid; he actually rose to meet the battle. What a momentum that was! Compared to this, those who stayed on the edges ready to retreat at any moment were merely a footnote.
This was a true hero.
It was explosive!
The War Axe and War Saber collided, yet the powerful force did not send Xu Mo reeling.
The War Saber, scraping against the War Axe, emitted a sharp, piercing sound. Under that terrifying force, the War Saber slid past the War Axe, the two misaligned, leaving Xu Mo at the opponent’s left side.
“Pff…” The War Saber slashed across the opponent’s side, shattering the Armor, and the Slaughterer’s body was sent flying back, while Xu Mo’s forward motion also got interrupted, his body falling towards the ground.
Both figures landed one after the other, the Slaughterer took several steps back, while Xu Mo crouched slightly, then stood up.
Looking at the Slaughterer again, his Armor was broken.
One slash, Armor Breaking!
“So cool!” Xiao Qi exclaimed, “Sister Butterfly, I’m in love.”
Ye Qingdie felt goosebumps all over her body.
But, indeed, it was really cool!
That strike set the arena ablaze.
A tsunami of cheers erupted as countless people called the Armored Fighter’s name.
Mia, hearing that deafening roar, suddenly found a liking for the arena, a place she had previously loathed.
That strike, just as cool as when he had worn his Armor a year ago.
Yet, the tense atmosphere remained, as the Slaughterer once again charged towards Xu Mo.
Xu Mo did not evade, and ran head-on towards the other under the resounding cheers.
The War Axe and War Saber collided again, but Xu Mo’s saber was faster. As the opponent struck, he had no time for any other movement, while Xu Mo’s War Saber had already slid past, slashing at the opponent’s Armor.
Under a series of impacts, the sound of Armor Breaking was continual, and the Slaughterer’s Armor was being slashed into several pieces, cracking apart and falling to the ground.
“Crack!” A sound emitted, even the helmet shattered, splitting down the middle, falling to the ground revealing the opponent’s true face.
It was an enormous and very ugly face, filled with a ferocious aura and blood-red eyes, giving off a somewhat beastly feeling, like a humanoid monster.
“So strong.” Spectators on the stands were stunned, watching the Armored Fighter’s performance.
The Armored Fighter definitely possessed Star Level Combat Power.
In the Diamond tournament, no one could withstand him.
First in the Gold Triad, it seems he’s still going to take first place in the Diamond Arena.
“This Armored Fighter’s Sword Technique is made for killing,” remarked some knowledgeable persons on the stand, their observations sharp.
Xu Mo’s saber lacked uniformity, but it was indeed a killing blade.
This required countless trials and refinement; he definitely had killed many.
“As expected!” Xu Mo, seeing the opponent’s face, knew his guess was correct. The Slaughterer was a Genetic Warrior, even losing his original appearance, his body having undergone some changes.
“Crack.” A clear sound emitted, it seemed like the opponent’s bones were moving, a wilder aura exploded from his body, filled with immense brutal power.
In that last attack, Xu Mo broke the Armor but did not penetrate the opponent’s skin. The Genetic Warrior’s skin was like steel, its toughness not inferior to the Armor.
“Still getting stronger?”
The people in the stand felt the change in the opponent and their hearts raced. Many realized this Slaughterer was a Genetic Warrior, actually mixed into the arena, truly ruthless.
He was still getting stronger; could the Armored Fighter withstand it?
The Slaughterer’s arms grew even thicker, his clothes bursting apart. That wild power made everyone’s hearts tremble.
The audience in the stands actually started to worry for Xu Mo.
They hoped Xu Mo could win.
“Stronger, huh?” Xu Mo stared at the opponent, raising his War Saber, forming an aura around his body.
Xu Mo stood there, giving off an invincible aura.
With the War Saber in hand, he was invincible.
“Buzz!”
Xu Mo’s body moved first, rushing toward his opponent like a gust of wind.
“Thud.” The opponent stepped on the ground, charging wildly toward Xu Mo with bloodshot eyes filled with a terrifying murderous aura, raising the War Axe to cleave Xu Mo in two.
The two were about to clash when the opponent’s War Axe swung down fiercely.
But at that moment, Xu Mo’s body suddenly accelerated, like a gust of wind.
The blade flashed, like lightning.
Blood was drawn, sealing the throat!
The Slaughterer’s body continued to charge forward, but blood spurted incessantly from his neck before he collapsed to the ground.
Xu Mo straightened his tilting body and sheathed his sword.
Still too weak!
……
Inside a small room in an ordinary residential building in the main city district.
The room was less than fifty square meters, somewhat dim, but neatly arranged.
Elsa and her mother had finished tidying up and wiped the sweat from their foreheads. Glancing at the small yet clean room, Elsa smiled, relieved they were finally done.
From now on, a new life would begin.
Elsa looked happily at her mother.
“Elsa, do you feel wronged?” Elsa’s mother asked as she looked at her daughter.
“Not at all, I’m very happy,” Elsa smiled sweetly, “Really.”
“I’m thinking of donating the money to the orphanage and keeping just enough for living expenses. What do you think, Elsa?” her mother added.
That money, it was Councilman Tyrone’s.
“Yes, I support Mom,” Elsa smiled, “Now I’ve also found a job and can take care of the kids. A hundred Federation coins as a monthly salary is enough for us to live on.”
Her mother felt a twinge in her nose upon hearing Elsa’s words, but her eyes still shone with a radiant smile.
This past year had been too hard for them, full of upheaval and danger, and to protect Elsa, she had reluctantly given herself to Councilman Tyrone. But the subsequent ordeals had been unbearable. Fortunately, Elsa was unharmed.
Moreover, Elsa had truly grown up; she was no longer capricious or spoiled, nor did she complain about the hardships of life. Her mother was truly relieved.
But her heart ached, feeling that she had let down her daughter, who had once lived a privileged life.
Such a drastic change was not easily accepted by anyone.
“Mom, I need to go out in a bit,” Elsa said with a smile.
“Going out?” Elsa’s mother looked at her, “Elsa, have you forgotten what day it is today?”
“I remember, today is my birthday,” Elsa smiled sweetly, “I’ll be back to celebrate with Mom tonight.”
Elsa’s mother looked at her daughter with concern, “Elsa, tell Mom, you’ve been going out every evening lately, are you in love?”
“Ah…” A blush crept onto Elsa’s face as she shook her head, “Not at all.”
“Then who are you going to meet?” Elsa’s mother asked.
“I met a friend,” Elsa assured her mother who seemed worried, “I’ve mentioned him before to you, Xu Mo.”
Elsa’s mother’s face brightened with recognition, smiling at her daughter.
So, her daughter had truly grown up.
“The Xu Mo you often talk about, who composed the music pieces you often play?”
This year, Elsa had always carried an instrument with her, and her drive in life had always been music.
“Yes,” Elsa seemed a bit shy.
“Come back early,” Elsa’s mother smiled brightly, “Be careful on the way, and if possible, have Xu Mo walk you back.”
“Yes, I know,” Elsa smiled and nodded.
“If you get the chance, bring Xu Mo over to the house,” Elsa’s mother smiled, eager to meet the talented young man.
Elsa initially felt happy when she heard her mother’s words, but then she became a bit despondent.
For some reason, she suddenly felt terrible.
She felt inferior!
The once proud and noble Elsa now felt deeply inferior whenever she thought of that sunny, handsome face.
Was she worthy?
That was Xu Mo, the talented Xu Mo.
It felt so painful!
However, she quickly adjusted her mood, wondering why she was being so greedy.
Just to have met him and see him often was already wonderful, wasn’t it?
