Chapter 454: Two Young Warrior Generals
September 25, 2017
Lu HaiKong gazed at the four individuals on the stage with a mix of emotions. The martial arts arena had been going on for ten days, and not a single talented individual had emerged during that time.
Lu HaiKong initially thought there might be an issue with the arena or the Talent Recruitment Board, but he never expected the problem to be related to timing.
For the first ten days, not a single person showed up, but on the tenth day, three individuals suddenly appeared.
What is a surprise? This is a surprise!
Despite the excitement, Lu HaiKong didn't immediately rush to recruit them, as they were already in front of him and couldn't escape. Besides, the arena had already started another match.
According to Lu HaiKong's arena rules, if these four wanted to challenge the 'Divine General,' they had to determine the strongest among them.
Under the guidance of the arena staff, the four individuals began their matches. Yu Dian and Wen Ugly, the two older ones, were paired up, while the two younger boys were put in a group. The first to take the stage were the two youngsters.
Soon, the two boys stood on the arena, the one on the left wearing martial garb and holding an elite-level long spear, clearly indicating he was from a minor clan. Although he seemed to come from a well-off family, he wasn't from one of the major clans.
The one on the right, dressed in coarse cloth, held a wooden-handled long spear, obviously a child from a commoner background.
Both boys were not very old, and they had a well-built physique, appearing to be around twelve or thirteen years old, maybe even younger. Despite their young age, their strength was quite impressive, with both boys having a combat strength of around 70. At just thirteen years old, having a combat strength of 70 was extraordinary. What kind of terrifying existence would they become when they grew up?
As Lu HaiKong watched the two boys step onto the stage, his eyes lit up, and he turned to say something to Yue Er.
However, he saw Yue Er staring at Wen Ugly with eyes full of battle intent, eager to give it a try. Lu HaiKong immediately knew that this young lady was up to something again.
What surprised Lu HaiKong was Yue Er's unusual restraint. After a moment of eagerness, she quickly withdrew her gaze, although there was still a hint of regret in her eyes. Ultimately, she no longer had the desire to challenge Wen Ugly.
Lu HaiKong breathed a sigh of relief. This young lady fought with a reckless abandon, and if she were to fight Wen Ugly, both being skilled in combat, Lu HaiKong wasn't sure he could handle the situation if things went wrong.
Seizing the opportunity, Lu HaiKong quickly diverted her attention, "Who do you think will win between those two youngsters up there?"
Just as Lu HaiKong spoke, the two boys on the stage began their fight.
Both used long spears as their weapons, and despite their young age, they were like two fresh pieces of meat, the freshest you could find, but these two pieces of fresh meat fought with intense ferocity."
The boy on the left was clearly from a military clan, his spear technique filled with a heavy bloody aura, and his moves were straightforward and deadly.
In contrast, the boy on the right, despite his coarse cloth attire, displayed a graceful and agile spear technique, resembling a noble young master. His spear moves were nimble and light, like a dancing phoenix.
One was straightforward and bloody, while the other was intricate and agile, devoid of any hint of the mundane. They appeared like two extremes on the stage.
Yue Er initially glanced at them casually, but as soon as she saw them, she was instantly drawn into their battle.
"They're quite impressive. If I were to fight them with equal strength, it would be challenging to defeat them. The one on the left is a bit better; I could take him down by trading blows. But the one on the right has too nimble a spear technique; I doubt he'd give me a chance to trade blows." Yue Er watched their battle intently, analyzing the situation as she spoke.
Listening to the girl's analysis, Lu HaiKong couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness. Yue Er was far too obsessed with martial arts and combat.
"I'm not asking if you can defeat them, I'm asking who you think will win!" Lu HaiKong couldn't resist giving the girl a light tap on the head.
Yue Er rubbed the spot where Lu HaiKong had tapped her, feeling something strange. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but she felt a sense of unease as she met Lu HaiKong's gaze, and she responded without thinking.
"The one on the right!"
"Oh? What do you mean? What did you notice?" Lu HaiKong was intrigued by the girl's sudden change.
"Because he's more famous than the one on the left!"
Hearing this, Lu HaiKong turned his head to look at the arena, where Yue Er had already recovered and was smiling teasingly. Lu HaiKong was taken aback for a moment, then felt something spreading within him, and a calm smile appeared on his face.
In the past year, Lu HaiKong had rarely shown such a peaceful smile. As his life became filled with slaughter and conspiracies, his smile had lost its former purity.
By Yue Er's side, there was an inexplicable sense of stability, which calmed Lu HaiKong's state of mind. He couldn't quite explain why, but he didn't dislike this feeling.
As Lu HaiKong smiled below the stage, the battle between the two young men above had reached a critical point.
The left side of the youth's clothing had several more slashes, while the right side's youth had only simplified his spear technique.
At this point, the difference in their strengths was clear. The youth on the left was still unwilling to admit defeat, and his strong fighting spirit kept the battle going.
"I suddenly feel like I might have said something wrong just now." Yue Er, who had just emerged from the 'strange' atmosphere, spoke up.
Lu HaiKong nodded, "The right side's fighting style has changed. It seems he had an enlightenment during the battle."
Yue Er interjected, "Enlightenment is one thing, but combat is another. You can only experience enlightenment after the battle is over. Trying to understand it in the middle of a fight can not only affect your performance but also put you in a dangerous position."
As if to prove Yue Er's words, the two young men on the stage erupted into action as soon as she finished speaking.
The youth on the left unleashed his full power, charging violently towards the youth on the right. His long spear exuded a bloody aura as he thrust it forward with relentless force.
This spear move was simple, but its speed was astonishing, several times faster than before.
Despite the incredible speed, the youth on the right reacted swiftly. He parried with his wooden spear, but as the two spears collided, his wooden spear snapped in an instant. The youth on the left continued his momentum, thrusting towards the right side's youth's chest.
It wasn't that the left side's youth was particularly ruthless, but his spear was too fast. He couldn't control its force, and he was about to impale the youth on the right. Suddenly, a large hand reached out, grabbing the spear and stopping it in its tracks.
Seeing this, several people who were about to react or had already started to, froze in their tracks.
Interestingly, the person who stopped the spear wasn't Lu HaiKong, who was prepared for such a situation, nor was it Wen Ugly, who was closest to the two youths. It was a spectator who had been watching from below the stage."
