Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy
chapter-686

In the meantime, as Denise was heading back to the castle, Vale was actually fighting in the underground training hall with Chad, the Dragon Disciple.

They were fighting without any Arcane Spells and only through their strength and some of their physical techniques!

They may not be experts in martial arts and physical combat, but with their incredible set of strands and battle sense, they could easily be mistaken as Martial Artists.

"You're keeping up… That's impressive." Vale remarked as he jumped back away from Chad.

"Hehehe… I'm not giving my all yet. I still want to show you something more." Chad replied with a grin on his face.

Over the past hour of their training, they exchanged blows and kicks, dodges, blocks, grapples, and throws with speed and strength that surpassed ordinary humans.

They mostly used their instincts and experience to gain the upper hand and defeat the opponent.

"Let's use weapons… But we're still not going to use our Arcane Energy." Chad said.

"Weapons? Alright… However, you can use your Dragon's Blessing all you want. My physique is a bit special, so you need to keep using that to keep up with me."

As he said this, Vale pulled out his weapon.

Vale was using his Stormbringer Blade, a sword that could channel his Divinity and unleash powerful attacks. Of course, he wasn't planning to use it for that.

He already has an Immortal Body, a body that had been enhanced and refined by his Divinity, he already had an advantage in this battle.

Furthermore, with the Stormbringer on his hands, he could easily use his Shadowblade Dance. It wasn't a spell but a combat technique, so there wouldn't be an issue using that.

"Yes… I will use the Dragon's Blessing…"

In the meantime, Chad was using his Dragon Claws. It was a pair of gauntlets that enabled his strength as a Dragon's Disciple.

Furthermore, he now possesses the Dragon Blood, a bloodline he inherited from the two Dragons.

Vale may have Shadowblade Drance, but Chad was now a master of the Dragon Style, a style that combined martial arts and dragon's strength.

They then resumed their battle, this time with weapons in their hands.

Boom!

They clashed with their weapons and created a powerful shockwave.

Vale smiled as he adjusted his strength to match well against Chad. No matter what, he was still a Shadow Immortal.

They then continued their clash as they parried, slashed and stabbed, with skill and force surpassing ordinary weapons.

"Careful!"

Vale swung his Stormbringer Blade, and executed his Shadowblade Dance. It was a technique that allowed him to move and attack with the speed and stealth of a shadow.

With this movement technique, it seemed as if he could appear and disappear, strike and evade, with ease and grace. It was a style that combined swordsmanship and agility.

Although it had been quite some time ever since he learned this technique, Vale could still use it in almost every case that he used his sword.

On the other hand, Chad fought fiercely with his Dragon Claw Gauntlet and activated his Dragon's Blessing. It was a technique that allowed him to enhance and transform his body with the power and attributes of a dragon.

Even without Transformation Arts, he could grow scales and wings and increase his strength and endurance…

Of course, Chad doesn't need to use such extreme techniques for now.

Boom! Boom!

They continued fighting with only their physical strength, and it had already lasted for more than an hour.

Both of them were impressed and challenged by each other.

'This guy is getting strong too quickly…' Vale commented in his mind as he felt that the opportunity that he gave to Chad had truly changed his life.

They had fought many times before, and each time, they had learned something new and gained something valuable in their experience.

"So tough!" Chad complained as he realized what Vale was doing.

They were evenly matched but he knew very well that Vale was matching his strength.

After an hour, they had inflicted many wounds and injuries on each other, but they had also healed and recovered from them.

They had exhausted much of their energy and stamina, but because of their unusual physiques, they had also replenished and restored them at the same time!

"Hey… I'm getting tired. Let's end this in one last exchange." Chad said.

"Alright… I'm also getting hungry." Vale replied.

Without any more words, they then decided to use their ultimate moves, and end the training once and for all.

Chad gathered his remaining strength and unleashed his final attack…

"Take this!"

Chad thrust his Dragon Claws, and unleashed a huge blast that burned through the air and the ground. It wasn't a Spell but a technique that incorporated his strength as a Half-Dragon.

On the other hand, Vale swung his Stormbringer Blade, and released a massive slash that tore through the air and the ground.

Just like Chad, it wasn't accompanied by Divinity or Arcane Energy but a mere force that was created by pure strength!

Boom!

The two attacks collided and created a huge explosion that shook the whole training hall.

A shockwave of energy and debris swept through the area, and a cloud of dust and smoke covered the scene.

A loud noise and a bright light filled the senses, and a silence and a darkness followed.

The battle was over, and the result was clear.

Chad was on the other floor, unconscious.

Vale, on the other hand, was touching his shoulder that was hit by Chad's strike.

"Impressive…" Vale muttered as he walked to Chad to check his condition.

However, he was interrupted by Denise's message through his communication crystal.

"Vale, I'm back. I have some visitors with me. They are representatives from various organizations. They want to meet you and talk to you. I made them pay some fees to bring them here, so please accept them or something before throwing them out if you want... I'm bringing them to the castle now. Please prepare to receive them."
