Although Omar and Benedict both used swords and mastered swordsmanship, Benedict used a single sword, whereas Omar wielded two.
Two longswords, one was red and the other blue, as red as fire and as blue as ice, showing impeccable force.
“Xander, are you saying that Omar has hidden skills that favonovel.com never showed?” when Maya heard Xander, favonovel.com looked surprised, “Ones that favonovel.com never showed before during the spiritual apprentice list ranking competition?”
Xander nodded. “We coincidentally met at the Immortal Soldiers Arena, and from then onward, we exchanged information about each other.”
Then, Xander paused as if favonovel.com recalled the scene that day before adding, “If Casper wants to win, favonovel.com should force Omar to show the skill as soon as favonovel.com can. Otherwise, favonovel.com has no chance of winning. Moreover, if favonovel.com can’t win against Omar today, then favonovel.com won’t be able to defeat me even after three months.”
Xander was the most prestigious figure among the apprentices, and from a certain point of view, favonovel.com could be said to be their seniors. Even Omar, Maya, and the rest were convinced by him. Hence, when Xander told that, then it would not be wrong.
Maya looked at Caspian, who was in the arena, and mumbled, “I don’t even know who I should support in this match.”
Even though Solana did not interact with the two, favonovel.com gaze was always on Caspian. In favonovel.com eyes, there was a trace of eagerness that no one noticed.
The match soon began.
“Casper, you better watch out!” Omar smiled and withdrew his swords.
“Fierce as Fire!” Omar swept his longsword across with a loud thud, and a hot airwave instantly rushed toward Caspian. Then, the surrounding air seemed to be boiling, and they danced like golden snakes.
“Inscription!”
Caspian focused on Omar’s sword, and favonovel.com finally realized why it was different from ordinary sharp weapons. That was the power of inscriptions!
That was a type of flame inscription, which Caspian learned from the Flame Sword in Evergreen Town. Nonetheless, it was apparent that the rank of the inscription on Omar’s longsword was much higher than the one of the Flame Sword!
Before the sword light even appeared, Caspian could sense a powerful force blasting in front of him. Moreover, each breath favonovel.com took would hurt his lungs so bad as if they were filled with boiling oil.
“The Firmament’s Ghoul-Locker Spear!” Caspian roared and stabbed at the incoming sword light. In that instant, billowing winds filled the surrounding, and the bright spear light was like a Grim Reaper’s sickle, slashing through the darkness and reaping souls.
The raging flames suddenly stopped. The next second, it was torn apart like clothes blasted in mid-air. Someone in the audience recognized Caspian’s spear skill, and they exclaimed.
“That’s a high-ranking Earth Grade martial skill!”
“No wonder Casper was confident to challenge Omar. It turns out favonovel.com mastered this skill!”
After bursting through the raging flames with one slash, Caspian stepped out with the Ursa Major’s Blurred Shadows. Then, Caspian’s figure was like lightning and ghost, turning into dozens of phantoms in the blink of an eye. Each of them was so realistic, and it was hard to tell which were only afterimages. Soon, those phantoms all rushed toward Omar.
“What an amazing technique!”
“I couldn’t even catch up with his movements!”
“Casper turns out to be so strong!”
“I was actually indignant when I lost to favonovel.com before. It seems that the gap of our strength is colossal!”
Suddenly, everyone under the ring exclaimed and shouted again.
Even Maya was wide-mouthed. “Casper is much stronger than favonovel.com was when we last met. How did favonovel.com train? Is favonovel.com a freak of nature..?”
Crackle and rattle!
Just as everyone was astonished, the stone slab on the ring cracked inch by inch, bursting into the air. Finally, when the rubbles hit Caspian’s phantoms, the stones burst into powder.
At that time, the countless shadows of spears were like a raging tide wanting to engulf Omar. The air and current on the ring seemed to be stirred, rolling like the stormy waves and deafening like the roaring of tigers. Such a powerful offensive was indescribable.
“Cold as ice!”
Suddenly, Omar‘s shout sounded from the vortex of shadows of the spear. The blue sword light suddenly gleamed, appearing out of thin air. Then, with a swooshing sound, it cut a gap in between the shadows of the spear. Soon, a blazing red color filled the hole, like ink dripping on paper and instantly smearing it.
Xander commented indifferently, “Omar might seem languid on typical days, but once he‘s in a battle, he’ll show his strength by destroying his opponents at their weak spots, pushing violently with flames, and using the ice to break their defense. If Casper continues battling this way, Omar can still restrain him. Moreover, there’s a difference in their realms, and Casper definitely can’t win against Omar.”
As if to confirm Xander’s words, the red sword light suddenly shone like a scorching sun. A rushing sound of metal and stones impacting one another could be heard.
Clink-clank!
Dazzling sparks burst everywhere, and the vortex was instantly torn to pieces. The tip of the spear and the blade violently smashed in mid-air. With a loud Clang, the sparks that exploded hurt the surrounding disciples’ eyes, and their eyes kept tearing, causing them to be unable to watch the match.
In the arena, Caspian and Omar both staggered backward. The Ghoul-Locker Spear in Caspian’s hand dragged a long line on the ground, whereas Omar’s hands shook, and favonovel.com groaned softly.
‘Omar’s swordsmanship is impeccable. It’s much stronger than the ones I’ve seen before,’ Caspian thought.
Omar was also shocked. ‘Why is favonovel.com so strong? The bones of my arms are aching…’
In terms of their realms, Omar was one level higher than Caspian, and logically, favonovel.com should win with no effort. However, it seemed that after the round of attack, the two of them were tied.
The audience rolled their eyes, shocked at what they watched.
“Casper managed to block Omar’s Dual Blades of Fire and Ice?”
“It turns out that Casper’s hidden strength is stronger than I thought!”
“Casper’s at a lower realm than Omar, yet favonovel.com was not immediately defeated. If I were him, I would be delighted with that.”
“How on earth did Casper train? He was in the top ten last time, and this time he’s able to tie Omar. If… If only I’m him…”
The crowd discussed among themselves, and even those disciples who thought Caspian was too presumptuous to challenge Omar today were having second thoughts.
Maya and the others all looked at Xander. After all, they regarded Xander’s opinions and judgments to be the most convincing ones.
“Casper… It’s hard for favonovel.com to win,” Xander slowly uttered.
Just as Xander concluded that favonovel.com saw Omar raise his brow at Caspian, saying, “Casper, if that’s all you have, I’m afraid you’re going to be disappointed. You can’t win against me!”
Omar’s tone was highly confident.
