After activating Charge, it took only an instant for Lifeless Thorn to cross the 20-plus yards separating him and Shi Feng .
As soon as Lifeless Thorn reached his opponent, he thrust Thunder Spear at the other player, sending over 20 afterimages at Shi Feng from different angles . It was impossible to find the real weapon among the fakes .
"How has his Split Spear become so much stronger?!"
Solitary Nine could not help but gasp .
When he had dueled Lifeless Thorn, the Berserker had only produced over a dozen spear images . Even with his shield, he hadn't been able to block every spear image, forced to rely on luck and hope he blocked the real weapon .
Yet, the Berserker could now produce over 20 images, nearly double what he had previously been capable of . Just watching the images was confusing, not to mention trying to block the attack .
"Brother Lifeless's Twofold Berserk is impressive . Not even an MT can block so many images . " The attack surprised Wave Heart's members .
"Lifeless is taking this too seriously . " Cleansing Whistle revealed a helpless smile as she watched the Berserker fight with everything he had . "His opponent is doomed . "
Throughout her time raiding Dungeons and adventuring with Lifeless Thorn, this was the first time she had seen him go all-out .
Moreover, in a Balanced Mode duel, the player with higher Basic Attributes would be suppressed to match the opponent's .
Since Lifeless Thorn's Attributes weren't affected, he wouldn't feel awkward as he moved . In contrast, Shi Feng would need some time to get used to the lower Attributes .
It was clear that Lifeless Thorn realized this, yet he refused to give Shi Feng any time to adapt .
With so many advantages, the Berserker would have an easy time winning this duel .
As the numerous spear images were about to devour Shi Feng, a blue light flashed before him . Following which, a loud explosion shook the arena, followed by a powerful shockwave radiating across the stage .
Lifeless Thorn's Thunder Spear had stopped an inch from Shi Feng's neck .
"Impossible!" Cleansing Whistle shot up from her seat, shock flashing in her eyes . "Lifeless's Split Spear… Why did it stop?"
"What?! Brother Lifeless messed up?!" The other Wave Heart members were similarly stunned .
Lifeless Heart had rarely ever failed to hit his target with Split Spear . His opponent could only block the attack if they were lucky .
Of course, nobody was more surprised than Lifeless Thorn .
However, the Berserker didn't give up after his first attack had failed . Immediately, he executed Split Spear again, sending another 20-plus spear images thrusting at Shi Feng .
Before the spear images reached Shi Feng, another blue light flashed . This time, the Thunder Spear stopped several centimeters away from Shi Feng's right shoulder . There was more distance between the weapon and the Swordsman than before .
"Did it hit? What's going on?" Wave Heart's members watched Shi Feng in confusion, realizing that golden scales covered the man's body .
"He… He actually deflected Lifeless's Split Spear! Is he some kind of monster?!" Cleansing Whistle's expression darkened as she watched the fight .
Split Spear was so impressive because it was nearly impossible to pinpoint the real weapon, which confused the opponent as they tried to defend themselves . But in the brief moment before Lifeless Thorn's weapon reached Shi Feng, the Swordsman located the real Thunder Spear and properly deflected it . His grasp of Strength and timing was simply godlike .
Before Cleansing Whistle could overcome her shock, Shi Feng took a step forward and disappeared .
He vanished?
Lifeless Thorn immediately responded by executing Whirlwind Slash, his spear sweeping horizontally to slice everything within 10 yards of the Berserker .
Dang!
A loud clang echoed throughout the venue . Following which, Shi Feng reappeared as he flew over a dozen yards backward before landing . Despite being knocked back so far, Shi Feng hadn't lost a single HP . He had nullified Lifeless Thorn's Horizontal Slash with Parry .
As expected of the Lightning Warrior! His reactions are so fast! Shi Feng smiled faintly as he glanced at the still-vibrating Killing Ray .
Split Sword was Lifeless Thorn's trademark combat technique . He had used it plenty of times against the experts on God's Domain Experts List . However, the technique was still immature right now . Although he could create over 20 spear images, his attacks were monotone .
Against Shi Feng, who was capable of pushing his five senses to their very limits and had a perfect grasp over his environment, the immature technique was useless .
Moreover, although Balanced Mode would equalize the combatants' Basic Attributes, it wouldn't affect the players' physiques .
To Shi Feng, whose physique exceeded that of an ordinary Tier 2 player, Lifeless Thorn's Split Spear was a joke .
Meanwhile, the Berserker felt an unprecedented pressure weigh down on him as he watched his opponent .
In a clash of techniques, the player that used a Skill first would lose . Although this duel wasn't a pure exchange of techniques, it was the first time he had encountered a player who could treat his Split Spear like a normal attack .
"You are incredibly strong!" Despite the minor loss, Lifeless Thorn wasn't discouraged . Instead, he smiled as he said, "I admit that I am no match for you in terms of technique . However, combat techniques aren't the only factor that determine a player's strength . One must also take into account Attributes and Skills . "
Saying so, Lifeless Thorn's Thunder Spear shuddered slightly . Suddenly, six golden replicas of the weapon appeared around him .
This move was Adjudication Spear, one of Thunder Spear's Skills . Every Adjudication Spear carried 100% of Lifeless Thorn's Strength . Moreover, he had complete control over the weapons and could use them alongside his Split Spear . The only downside was its 10-second duration . However, in a fight between experts, it was more than enough time .
…
"Guild Leader, Lifeless Thorn is really scary . Asura's commander will definitely lose," Feather Wind excitedly announced .
"Good! As expected of the publicly-acknowledged, number one expert!"
If Shi Feng lost, Lifeless Thorn would be Cold Wind City's undisputed, number-one expert . The Asura adventurer team's reputation would plummet, and although it would still pose a threat to Matchless Family, it wouldn't rule over Cold Wind City .
…
As the upper echelons of Cold Wind City's large Guilds sighed with relief, Shi Feng walked towards his opponent .
"You are correct . A player's strength doesn't solely depend on their combat techniques . Attributes and Skills do play a factor," Shi Feng said, nodding . He then activated Tier 2 Blade Liberation and Nine Dragons Slash .
Suddenly, the intensity of Shi Feng's aura skyrocketed . At the same time, twelve Abyssal Blade phantoms manifested around him .
"You… You have…a hidden class as well?" Lifeless Thorn was dazed as he felt the power of Shi Feng's aura, his heart pounding madly . Suddenly, he lost his previous confidence .
Twofold Berserk was his biggest trump card . With absolute power, he could easily overwhelm his opponents, even if his techniques were inferior .
However, based on the man's aura, Shi Feng's Basic Attributes were now much higher than his .
His opponent's twelve phantom swords even outnumbered his prided Adjudication Spears…
As Lifeless Thorn stared, Shi Feng appeared before him and lightly swung Killing Ray .
Tier 2 Legacy Skill, Shadow Blade!
Although Lifeless Thorn tried to defend himself, he was too slow, and ten streaks of light, one blue and nine black, struck him . Instantly, Lifeless Thorn's HP vanished, his body transforming into particles of light as he disappeared .
As if time had frozen, silence dominated the combat room .
Lifeless Thorn, Cold Wind City's number one expert, had been defeated!
