Chapter 209 -Thunder Fire! (3)

Each slash was heavier than the last!

The people in the stands were already stunned. They did not expect Jace to suppress Keriber in such a manner. Only a few people could still capture Zhou Jing’s figure. Most people could no longer see his movements clearly. “As it turns out, he was that fierce…”

Becky muttered to himself in a daze.

He had always heard others say how powerful Jace was. But, now that he had seen him with his own eyes, he could finally make a direct comparison of the man itself.

The speed at which Zhou Jing erupted was far faster than before.

The high-level lightning resistance allowed him to completely avoid the side effects of (Internal Electric Discharge). This could already be used as his conventional combat method for a long time.

Moreover, under the enhancement of (Internal Electric Discharge), the (Electrical Perception] brought about by his fourth enhancement was always in an active state. His reaction speed and agility increased further.

At the same time, he also used (Lightning Release] to further stimulate his physical fitness. The consumption of this state was far less than releasing an electric shock attack, but the bonuses for speed and agility were extremely considerate. The effectiveness of this usage far outstripped the energy cost of activating his skill constantly.

After four enhancements, the various characteristics combined and finally produced a qualitative change.

Jason’s agility and explosive power route had only truly taken shape at this moment. His speed had increased by more than a tier just from the synergy of his skills!

As a five-time enhancer, Keriber’s true attribute that widened the gap between the two of them was his Resistance. Zhou Jing’s Resistance was only at 58 points, while Keriber’s had reached the limit of Second Order at 80 points. The difference was huge.

However, in terms of Physical Fitness, Jason was actually 5 points higher than Keriber!

Meanwhile, Keriber was not good at speed, and the gap between them widened even more as a result… Therefore, in terms of physical fitness, Zhou Jing was actually stronger than Keriber!

......

The only thing he lacked was resistance, but his speed was too fast, making it difficult for Keriber to hit him in the first place.

What was the point of having high resistance if they could not hit him? Keriber could not use his advantage at all!

Therefore, in actual combat, the difference in total attributes was made up for by the suppression of his fighting style. Zhou Jing was confident because this was him patching his flaws through his strengths!

However, Keriber’s resistance was not just for show. Although he was quite passive and was in a sorry state, he was almost uninjured and could take quite a beating.

Zhou Jing relied on his speed to take the initiative, and there was no doubt he had the upper hand in the battle. However, every slash was blocked, and he was unable to break through Kleiber’s defense. He could not even cause actual damage to him.

It was like an extremely hard piece of steel that one could not even leave a slight scratch on.

Keriber had no intention of counterattacking. He just took everything head-on.

“I’ve been moving at high speed, and with the enhancement of my explosive state, I’ve consumed a lot of stamina. Meanwhile, he only needs to stand on the spot to block my attacks, which saves him a lot of effort… He wants to exhaust my stamina. As long as he doesn’t make any mistakes in blocking, he’ll slowly walk towards victory. He might be old, but he’s still steady. This is indeed the most suitable method for him.”

Zhou Jing quickly analyzed as he ran. He quickly saw through Keriber’s plan and calmed down. “Want to fight slowly and steadily? You have to ask if my saber agrees!” He stopped slashing back and forth at high speed and suddenly gave up on his speed advantage. He directly attacked head-on and stuck himself on Keriber.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The two sabers and the war hammer danced up and down, dazzling the eyes and sending sparks flying

“You have no more stamina left?”

Keriber flipped the war hammer, separating it from the blade, and laughed.

His hammer skills were quite proficient, and the cumbersome war hammer behaved quite exquisitely in his hand. The range of every attack and block was very small, but the effect was just right. The short distance of force exerted did not affect his strength at all.

Zhou Jing did not respond. His two blades struck the war hammer again. As Keriber once again borrowed the force to change his saber path, Zhou Jing suddenly threw out a bolt of lightning Crackle!

The silver-blue lightning hit Keriber directly, causing his hair to stand on end.

The blue lightning snake slithered around Keriber’s body, causing his movements to slow.

Swish!

Zhou Jing took this opportunity to stab Keriber in the chest with both blades.

At the critical moment, Keriber’s entire body trembled, and he instantly dispersed the lightning snakes all over his body. He suddenly turned his body and narrowly avoided the two blades.

Although he avoided the front, his breastplate was still cut open by the blade, leaving a bloody mark.

Whoosh!

The blade missed, and the clear sound of a blade cry rang out.

Keriber couldn’t care less about anything else. Before the two blades retracted, he quickly raised his hand and grabbed Zhou Jing’s wrist under his armpit to control his arm. Otherwise, the other party would continue to attack.

“This is the special ability given by the V3 Potion? You can release electricity like some mutant beasts?” Keriber’s eyes widened in surprise.

In his excitement just now, he had almost forgotten that Zhou Jing was no longer a hunter who only knew how to fight hand-to-hand. If not for his astonishing resistance, he would have been paralyzed by the sudden electric shock and died.

The corners of Zhou Jing’s mouth curled up, “My electricity released is comparable to that of mutant beasts!”

With that, he did not hesitate to suddenly erupt with the stored electricity and guide it along the area where his body came into contact with Keriber.

Bzzt pop crackle!!

Lightning flashed, and a few full-power lightning bolts hit Keriber at full blast.

Keriber was covered in electric snakes. He was trembling from the explosion, and his entire body was numb. Black smoke came out of his mouth, and a charred smell filled the air.

Under the series of high-voltage electric shocks, Keriber lost control of his body for a moment. He no longer had the strength to hold Zhou Jing’s arm and staggered back uncontrollably.

At this moment, Zhou Jing’s eyes flashed with lightning as it went along his arm before attaching itself to his blade, the Raging Inferno.

The high temperature brought about by the lightning instantly ignited the Raging Inferno!

Pak!

It sounded like a lighter wheel being flicked.

With a flash of lightning, the fire core exploded!

Huu…

Raging flames erupted from the hole in the blade like a pillar of fire!

Without another word, Zhou Jing raised his hand and slashed.

Boom!!!

Red and bright blue colors covered the fan-shaped space a few meters in front of Zhou Jing. The ground instantly turned black. The scorching flames were slashed out like a crescent moon, mixed with lightning as it struck Keriber head-on.

Lightning and fire intertwined to become thunder fire. The moment it hit Keriber, a light flashed, and a bomb-like impact reaction occurred!

Boom!

In the next second, Keriber flew out like a cannonball, his back shattering the wall of the arena.

Rumble

Half the wall collapsed, rubble burying Keriber’s figure. Zhou Jing was expressionless. There were still subtle electric snakes wrapped around his body. He casually swung his saber to extinguish the flames attached to Raging Inferno. Then, he sheathed his saber and nodded slightly.

“Sorry, I seemed to have gone a little too far.”
