Chapter 430 First Battle
Yang Liu, who was accompanying them, saw the specially made Dragon Fang Dagger that Li Chenglong had given to Smith. She asked with some surprise, "Captain Li, is that the improved Dragon Fang Dagger?" Li Chenglong took out about ten more from the storage area of the psionic space and distributed them to everyone. Then he smiled and said, "This is a new generation of Dragon Fang Dagger that I improved after a day of research with the experts of the space fleet and many experiments."
Alice, standing nearby, explained, "I was there when this new generation of Dragon Fang Dagger was created. It's said to be able to perfectly withstand the immense energy of a level 13 powerhouse, and it won't break or chip even after a fierce battle. Moreover, its weapon power is much stronger than the previous Dragon Fang Dagger. According to the people in the fleet, the current Dragon Fang Dagger will remain as bright as new even if buried underground for ten thousand years, and it won't have any problems even after being subjected to temperatures of tens of thousands of degrees."
Andrei took the new Dragon Fang dagger given to him by Li Chenglong, brandished it a few times, and said with great satisfaction, "Thank you for the gift, Lord Li. With this, my confidence has increased even more." Syndra, Zhao Wuji, Henry, and Cecily also accepted it and kept it safe. They all had their own exclusive weapons and would not use this dagger in the upcoming battle.
At this moment, Li Chenglong suddenly said, "They're here. Their people have also entered the fray." Everyone immediately stopped talking and looked at the alien alliance. Then, Bos, the number one expert on Bozan Star, a level 13 powerhouse, slowly walked over from the other side.
The Bozan aliens resemble insectoid beings from science fiction movies, with a horn on each side of their heads, much like stag beetles. Cecily explained from the side, "Actually, Bozan's strength isn't very high, but this Bos is indeed an anomaly. I heard that 10 cosmic years ago he was just a level 10 Bozan alien, but in just ten years, he has risen to level 13."
Erica, who was sitting in the back row, thought for a moment and said, "Sister, have you noticed a strange phenomenon? According to the records of our planet Meral, several decades ago, level 13 experts were extremely rare. But in the last twenty or thirty years, there have been more and more high-level experts. Even you, sister, quickly leveled up to level 13. Is there something wrong with this?"
Hearing her say this, Li Chenglong seemed thoughtful. He had carefully read the books that Teacher Lena and Cecily had given him and indeed found the same situation as Erica had described. Before he could think further, Cynthia spoke up: "The first match of the Interstellar Martial Arts Tournament shall now begin!"
Bozan, an alien from the planet Bozan, not only resembled an upright insect, but also had four arms. He held a narrow-bladed knife, about fifty or sixty centimeters long, in each of his four hands, and gave Smith a sinister smile. Smith shuddered and cursed in English, "Where did this beetle come from? I'll kill you and make you into a specimen."
The battle was about to erupt. Smith, the strongest in Country A and a level 13 5-elemental ability user, wielded the new Dragon Fang Dagger and launched a fierce attack on his opponent. Yun Lan, sitting in the back row, patted Li Chenglong on the shoulder and asked, "How do you feel about this match?" Li Chenglong observed carefully for another minute before saying, "If Smith is willing to fight, he can definitely win. But if he's timid and plays conservatively, it will be very difficult."
Li Chenglong had already carefully examined the situation using his True Dragon Eye. Aside from Smith's slightly higher mental attribute, the other three attributes were almost identical. After observing their fight for the past few minutes, he felt that Smith was somewhat inferior to Boss in terms of combat skills. Boss, in particular, was highly skilled at killing due to his ability to wield four swords simultaneously and his conquest of numerous planets; his fighting techniques and killing methods were far more refined than Smith's.
Smith, who is currently engaged in a fierce battle with Bosch, has realized that he is lacking in combat skills. In addition, his opponent is using four knives at once. If he continues to fight in close combat like this, he will definitely lose.
Smith seized an opportunity to create distance, slamming his hands on the ground: "Collapse the Heavens and Shatter the Earth!" Instantly, a surge of energy erupted from his hands and flowed towards the ground. To his surprise, the ground only trembled slightly and did not crack.
Cynthia said from the edge of the arena, "This arena has been specially reinforced multiple times to allow everyone to fight to their heart's content, so earth-based abilities cannot be used. Since this condition applies to both sides, it was not mentioned beforehand."
"Damn it!" Smith cursed. But just as he used his skill, Boss charged at him wielding four narrow-bladed knives. Smith channeled energy into his new Dragon Fang dagger, instantly transforming the 30-centimeter-long blade into a meter-long beam of light. The two then clashed again.
Smith is a superhuman with five abilities: metal, water, fire, earth, and speed. He had just tried it out. Although he couldn't use "Collapse and Earth Shatter," he could still use abilities like earth bullets, fire dragons, and water attacks. It seems that "Collapse and Earth Shatter" would damage the arena's ground, which had been heavily reinforced, making it unusable.
After another round of close-quarters combat, the two sides distanced themselves and began exchanging skills. "Water Dragon Bullet! Fire Dragon Bullet! Sandstorm!" Smith continuously used various supernatural abilities, and under his relentless attacks, countless fireballs, water bullets, and flying stones were fired out like a machine gun.
Smith shouted frantically while using his superpowers, "I'm attacking, attacking, attacking, attacking, attacking, attacking..." Zhao Wuji watched in shock. Seeing Boss already covered in thick smoke, and then looking at Smith who was still attacking like a machine gun, he slowly said, "I feel like I've seen this scene before."
Alice flew out from Erica's body in the back row and said seriously, "I know this. I took some time to watch a lot of anime on your Earth. This attack method is usually called the Prince's Battle Method, and the usual result is smoke but no damage."
"Smoke but no injury?!" the women exclaimed in unison, then all looked at Bozan Star's powerful fighter, Boss, who was shrouded in thick smoke in the arena. After three minutes of continuous attacks, a panting Smith finally stopped. He excitedly raised his hands and shouted in English, "Hahaha, I won! I won! Cheers for me!"
Aside from a few unaware of the situation who were somewhat excited, most of the Earthlings watching the live stream looked worried. Several anime fans familiar with this pattern shook their heads: "He's doomed!" Even Trump, the leader of the North American Human Alliance, who was watching the live stream, said indignantly: "Is this guy even from our country? He's incredibly stupid. Nobody knows those cunning aliens better than me; they certainly won't lose so easily!"
As everyone expected, Smith, who had been excited moments before, was utterly astonished to find that although the energy displayed by Boss in the smoke had diminished considerably, he hadn't suffered much damage. The rest was simple: after his powers had been depleted by the Prince's Battle Technique, Smith no longer had the ability to continue fighting.
However, he didn't act too cowardly. Although he had little of his remaining power, he unleashed his last bit and engaged in a brief but extremely fierce battle with Boss. Most surprisingly, Smith's reckless fighting style achieved unexpected results. Smith severed one of Boss's four arms, and Boss was knocked out of the arena.
Enraged by the loss of an arm, Boss wanted to give chase. Cynthia sharply stopped him: "The Earth warrior has already fallen out of the arena. The first match is over. If you continue to pursue him, you will be considered to have fallen out of the arena as well, and will be disqualified from continuing the fight!"
Henry and Andrei rushed forward and dragged the badly injured Smith back. Under Li Chenglong's instructions, Li Xue treated him, and within just three minutes, Smith regained consciousness and was able to sit and continue watching the martial arts tournament.
Cynthia glanced at the huge timer in the arena and said, "The first match lasted 21 minutes and 14 seconds. Bos from the alien alliance has won. According to the rules of this martial arts tournament, he can remain in the arena. Earth's contestants, please step forward immediately!"
Andrei, a Level 13 S-rank Giant Bear Spirit Awakener, stood up and said, "I'm going! I will definitely bring victory to everyone!" As he spoke, he took out his exclusive weapon, a long-handled giant hammer, and appeared in the center of the arena almost instantly.
