The Seventh Base

Is this his true nature?

"However..." Nilo swept his gaze towards the students of Lucas University and said, "According to the customs of the Baloma Kingdom, disputes are generally settled by a duel, with the loser dying. But considering that people from Lucas Star lack the bloodthirstiness of Baloma's men, there's no need to fight to the death. Simply bowing your heads in defeat will suffice."

"Warriors of the Holy Temple Knights, all of these before you have stepped forward admitting to have insulted your noble prince. Do you understand how to uphold your dignity as knights of the Holy Temple Knights? I want them all down on their knees in repentance," Nilo cried out loudly, his voice imbued with potent agitation.

Since the students of Lucas University had all come forward to confess, he would indulge them. The members of the Holy Temple Knights would bring them all to their knees.

Lucas University would repent for everything they had done to him.

As Nilo's words fell, a figure from the front lines of the Holy Temple Knights stepped forward, clad in armor, wielding a long spear, his wild Source Power aura bursting forth as he arrived at the center of the battlefield, and slammed his spear to the ground with force.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound resonated, and the ground trembled. Under his helmet, his eyes bore a murderous aura as he fixed his stare on the crowd opposite him.

"Brave students of Lucas University, today, in front of all the citizens of Lucas Star, I hope you show them your courage," Nilo cried out loudly.

The Source Power Level of the Holy Temple Knight who stepped out was A; he emitted the Energy Aura of an A-level. This squad of the Holy Temple Knights consisted of A and A+ ranks, clearly prepared for the students of Lucas University.

Today, Nilo's intention was to have those who had acted against him brought low, but since the entirety of Lucas University had come forward.

Then they might as well be annihilated!

The sound of snapping crackled, and the students of Lucas University were extremely angry. Although the ranks of the Holy Temple Knights were formidable, there were far more students at Lucas University. Of course, even if one only counted the number of Transcendents at Source Power Level A and above, there were still more than this squad of Holy Temple Knights.

Nilo was setting the members of the Holy Temple Knights on all of them.

On Lucas Star, more and more media outlets were paying attention to the events unfolding at Lucas University, countless people watching the scene on their screens.

Nilo, along with the members of the Holy Temple Knights, sought to trample over all the students of Lucas University.

It seemed that the forces Nilo had brought with him were not just any ordinary squad of Holy Temple Knights, but likely the elites among the elites, handpicked for this occasion.

However, even if the members of the Holy Temple Knights were all elites, Lucas University was still the most prestigious academy, and its students were likewise the geniuses among geniuses, making it somewhat fair.

"So arrogant?"

Sal stared at the figure who had emerged from the Holy Temple Knights, Source Power Level A, a rank he himself had already achieved.

However, given his status, he should demand that Nilo himself come out and fight. To engage with the members of the Holy Temple Knights was beneath him.

At that moment, a figure stepped out; it was a student from the Lucas University Extraordinary Department.

"Solo."

The figure was clad in light armor, holding a knife in his hand, the blade held horizontally and flickering with lightning.

Solo was a third-year student with Source Power Level A, and he was already making a push towards A+. His Sword Technique and movement technique were both exceedingly refined.

"Hum..."

Solo's knife began to rotate slightly and instantly, a stronger lightning light shimmered, a powerful Source Power erupted, and streaks of lightning appeared all over the battlefield, flashing in different positions.

"Boom-crack!"

With violent lightning raging, Solo's figure vanished from where he stood, as if his silhouette merged with the flashing lightning, employing the Shifting Shadow technique.

Xu Mo looked at Solo, who was adept with a lightning talent resembling the Lightning Body Method he once practiced, though seemingly stronger, likely a higher-level technique.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a streak of lightning across the space, Solo made his move, his figure appearing directly in front of the member of the Holy Temple Knights. His blade struck like thunder, slicing parallel through space, and everyone saw a dazzling Lightning Blade Light.

The Holy Temple Knight's long spear was thrust forward, and with a loud bang, the spear vibrated intensely as the member of the Holy Temple Knights was knocked back, his footsteps grinding against the ground as he slid.

Shouts of excitement echoed simultaneously from various places in the capital of Lucas Star while inside Lucas University, everyone's gaze was fixed ahead, involuntarily feeling some tension.

Can Solo win the first battle?

Solo's figure disappeared with the lightning once more, reappearing at another position and slashing from the left side with his Lightning Blade erupting in a flourish, incredibly dazzling.

"Shhh…" came the sharp and grating sound, as Solo's strike instantly arrived, grazing the long spear before hitting the member of the Holy Temple Knights on the neck. Despite part of the Power being deflected, the blow still cut through the Armor with its fierce momentum, producing a harsh friction sound. The Lightning Blade sought to slice in, the powerful force bending the Knight's neck as the body toppled backward.

"Got him!"

The students of Lucas University's hearts thumped, their gaze fixed on the Battlefield, where the violent eruption of lightning burst forth and the keen edge of the blade carved into the Armor.

"No, wait..."

Just then, the expression in the crowd's eyes suddenly changed, as the Holy Temple Knights' member grabbed Solo's sword with his left hand at the same time Solo struck, not faltering. After such a vicious blow bent his neck, he still held on, stepping back and gripping Solo's blade with his left hand.

Source Power burst forth violently from within Solo, with thunder and lightning roaring, as the blade struggled to slice through the Armor on his opponent's hand.

"Be careful." A cry of alarm went out as the opponent's right hand reached for the front of the long spear, lunging toward Solo's head.

"Boom..."

Solo had no choice but to drop the sword, transforming his body into a bolt of lightning to retreat.

The Holy Temple Knights' member glanced at the sword, then tossed it far away towards the edge of the Battlefield, while he himself charged towards Solo with a furious sprint.

"This madman!"

Everyone's hearts raced, knowing the Holy Temple Knights were not like other Transcendents; they were former Slaves who had climbed out from mountains of corpses and seas of blood, mastering the art of killing.

Moreover, they were extremely resilient.

The ground shook violently as Solo, now unarmed, focused his gaze on his opponent, Source Power surging within him—a wild Energy storm was forming into the shape of a blade.

"Boom."

A wild aura swept through, as the Knight leapt into the air, descending toward where Solo stood.

Solo felt the wild aura, retreating and dodging, only to see the figure in mid-air sharply veering forward, accelerating like lightning towards him.

"His movement technique—he's also skilled in movement technique," the crowd gasped, pupils contracting as Solo continued to dodge, the opponent changing direction mid-air to pursue.

"Buzz..."

A wild Energy Storm erupted, sweeping out as the Holy Temple Knight wielded his long spear.

Solo raised an energy-formed War Saber to block.

"Boom!" The Energy exploded in an instant, the War Saber vanished, and with a terrifying thrust, the long spear smashed down, sending Solo flying through the air.

Before Solo could stop, the Knight glided forward and—bam—a vicious thrust of the spear hit Solo on the neck.

Solo fell straight to the ground, clearly lacking the opponent's resilience to strikes.

Silence suddenly fell over the area as Nilo's fierce gaze fixed on the Battlefield podium. He had come to settle a score, handpicking those who were the fiercest fighters of the Holy Temple Knights.

The Holy Temple Knights' Warrior approached Solo, looking down at him as he lay on the ground, raising his long spear and then bringing it down.

Thud!

"Pfft…" Solo spat out blood, his body convulsing sharply.

"Crack." The students from Lucas University clenched their fists tightly, staring intently at the scene.

"Solo, concede," someone shouted out loud.

The Holy Temple Knights' Warrior, was tormenting him!
