MTLNOVEL Chapter 258: Intense Battle!
Also, even if Lucian broke through He Kai's defense, Lucian would still need to attack him at least three times before he could kill him!
This difference in attributes was indeed a little big.
However, Lucian did not feel he had no hope of defeating him.
His greatest advantage was his unique Blood skills, which could infinitely increase Lucian's potential!
The Blood Fist was the best example, giving Lucian a leap in explosive power!
"Come on, let me see what your machete can do!"
Lucian extended his claws and prepared himself for battle.
At the same time, he observed his surroundings and looked for a quick escape route.
He had found a way to retreat in advance. If he could not win, at the very least, he could retreat to safety…
He Kai gripped his machete tightly and charged toward Lucian.
He raised his machete with both arms and smashed it down heavily on Lucian!
...
The next moment, the machete blade was covered with scorching flames as it landed on Lucian!
Lucian did not panic when the scorching blade with flames attacked him. When the machete reached where he was, Lucian hurriedly dodged to the side.
Although He Kai was much stronger than Lucian in other aspects, the two of them were equally matched in speed.
Immediately after, He Kai responded to Lucian by dodging to the side. The angle at which he swung the machete changed slightly, and he continued to slice in Lucian's direction.
The blade's momentum was so swift and violent that Lucian did not have time to think. He had to use all his speed to dodge this blade attack as soon as possible!
Swoosh!
The blade came down and slashed through Lucian.
He Kai, who had rich combat experience, immediately realized that this was not Lucian's real body!
He scanned his surroundings and found nothing.
Without any hesitation, he stabbed the blade into the ground!
Shish…
A cold current was released from the center of the blade and spread out in all directions. The ground instantly froze, and the temperature dropped sharply!
"Come out, or I'll freeze the entire building!"
He Kai was very unhappy as he boasted. He did not expect that he could not see through Lucian's movement speed, and this gave him a sense of danger.
At that moment, Lucian clung to the ceiling, staring at He Kai under his feet.
He activated his skill, Grappling, and began to analyze He Kai's weaknesses.
Lucian found He Kai's weakness very quickly.
His left forearm was equipped with a wrist guard. It was only a blue grade wrist guard, and his forearm was injured. Compared to his right forearm, its movement was more unnatural.
When He Kai withdrew his machete, Lucian used his feet to push himself from the ceiling and dove down toward He Kai!
At the same time, Lucian unsheathed his claws and slashed at He Kai.
He Kai was dragging his heavy machete with his right hand, and there was no time for him to defend himself!
He raised his head to look at Lucian. When he saw that Lucian was charging toward him at a rapid speed, he did not have time to react.
He originally wanted to raise his machete to block Lucian's attack.
However, it was too late. He could not free his right hand, so he could only raise his left arm to block his head!
Lucian dropped at He Kai and gathered strength in his claws as his muscles expanded!
Following that, Lucian activated his skills, Armor Penetration and Blazing Strike!
During the last self-training, Lucian unexpectedly discovered that perhaps because of the Blood god Breathing Technique, his normal skills could be used in combination with his Blood skills.
In the eyes of the other students, this was an attack with a ridiculous effect!
It was equivalent to Lucian attacking one extra time!
Lucian's fist were covered with blazing flames. As he swung his fist, the flames drew a perfect arc in the air.
Clang!
With a ringing sound, Lucian's fist crossed and struck He Kai's left arm. The penetration effect instantly took effect, and the flames followed with a burning effect.
Bang!
After a muffled sound, He Kai's left wrist guard exploded, shooting out countless fragments.
At the same time, his left arm suffered several wounds, and blood spurted out.
He Kai was in pain. He twisted his expression, and he gritted his teeth.
Lucian completed a somersault in the air and landed safely.
He Kai quickly placed his left arm in front of his eyes and carefully examined it. The burning of the flames left him in unbearable pain.
The destruction of his wrist guard also made him even weaker.
It was not a big deal for his equipment to be destroyed. After all, He Kai did not care about a piece of blue grade equipment.
However, the main issue was that he had a weakness now. Initially, he was fully armed, but now his left arm had lost its protection. He also suffered a serious injury, which could easily affect the upcoming battle.
At that moment, He Kai checked his personal interface.
He found that his defense had been reduced by 30%!
His defense was reduced by a total of 111 points!
After two more reductions, he would have basically zero defense left!
However, what shocked him the most was that two effects assaulted him.
One was burn damage, and the other was armour penetration.
What kind of skill could have both these effects at the same time?
He had cultivated for many years, but he had never seen such skill before…
He hurriedly raised his machete and faced Lucian with even more caution.
His left arm was injured, and his machete was a weapon meant to be used with both hands. This somewhat affected his combat ability.
"Ha, I've given you the upper hand. However, don't even think you have a chance to defeat me. The gap in our strength is not something that your little cleverness can break through!"
He Kai was still very confident. His attributes were much higher than Lucian's, and most of his pieces of equipment were purple grade. If he couldn't defeat Lucian, he would really be too ashamed to face anyone.
Lucian looked at He Kai, and his expression was calm.
"Continue, let me see just what you are made of!"
Lucian walked toward He Kai as he said that. At the same time, he used his Flaming Claw skill again.
The remaining heat on Lucian's claws had yet to dissipate from the first Flaming Claw, and flames again covered it.
The temperature of this second Flaming Claw attack was higher than before.
Lucian was surprised by this and was keenly aware that the temperature was not right. The temperature of his claws was a little higher than the previous time.
At that moment, Lucian remembered that his Flaming Claw attack was equivalent to a skill that could strengthen his normal attacks.
If this effect could be stacked…
After Lucian had this hypothesis, he immediately activated Flaming Claw for a second time!
A wave of blazing flames surged from Lucian's body and climbed up his sharp claws along his arms.
Boom!
A huge fire pillar rose from Lucian's claws and instantly lit up the surroundings.
Lucian suddenly realized that the temperature of his claws had become even more terrifying than ever!
Even the air around his sharp claws was distorting.
Under the effects of the two Flaming Claw skills, the originally dark-ish claws were now emitting bright orange light.
This scene stunned He Kai.
Lucian immediately followed up with a third Flaming Claw skill. After the flames were attached to his claws yet again, the temperature and brightness of their surroundings were strengthened once again.
The bright flames released by Lucian's claws lit up their surroundings dazzlingly.
The terrifying high temperature made the air around them distort.
He Kai also felt an unprecedented high temperature around him. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and the high temperature painfully roasted his face.
"You bastard, what did you do? What are you brewing?"
He Kai felt uneasy and quickly strode toward Lucian.
He raised his machete and rushed at Lucian.
At that moment, Lucian had completed three enhancements to the Flaming Claw. His sharp claws were now dazzling to the eyes and scorching hot.
Finally, Lucian activated an ordinary skill, Armor Penetration!
Four effects were used simultaneously as Lucian rushed toward He Kai!
Lucian's pair of sharp claws got extremely hot and powerful after being strengthened!
Everyone on the broadcast channel felt incredulous when they saw this scene.
...
"These claws look so bright."
"Damn, there's no need to turn on the lights with these around. This pair of claws can light up the entire floor of a building."
"How hot is the temperature? I feel like I would get roasted just by getting close to it."
"Look carefully. The air around Lucian's claws is constantly distorting. We can see how high the temperature of these claws is just by that!"
"It's indeed terrifying. The temperature of those claws is really something else…"
