#569 - Chapter 567: God of War
“I also want to take on three at once.”
Qi Jing, preparing to enter the arena, voiced his little ambition.
He wanted to emulate Hu Susu from earlier, facing three opponents alone, sweeping through them like a storm, and achieving a complete victory.
That kind of back view, defying thousands, was simply incredibly cool!
Hearing his words, Cai Ziqin, who was waiting on the sidelines for an easy win, asked in confusion:
“Aren't you always fighting three at once? We've always just been decorative accessories.”
“It's different. I want to go up alone.”
“Okay, then we won't go.”
She understood.
It was nothing more than showing off and acting cool; the little boy's thoughts were written all over his face.
After Cai Ziqin and another teammate who was also hoping for an easy win discussed it, they both gave up the opportunity to participate.
Tan Zuoyin, straightening Qi Jing's collar, said:
“Activate your mental barrier to prevent mental attacks from the other side.”
“Got it!”
Qi Jing, adjusting his hat, slowly walked onto the arena.
As for why he didn't fly? The pretense would be too obvious and a bit too low-class.
Besides, walking with a cool posture is just as good.
The referee teacher watched for a long time, not seeing the other two contestants appear, and couldn't help but ask:
“Where are your two teammates?”
“They're not coming. It's just me.”
The referee teacher nodded, understanding his intention, and continued to wait expressionlessly for the countdown to end.
Every year, there are always some students like this who want to fight three at once.
Regardless of whether they can win or not, they always possess remarkable confidence, and their strength is generally good. If they don't encounter an ability that counters theirs, their win rate isn't actually low.
“One person? Are you looking down on us or what?”
On the other side of the arena, the shortest of the three members of the Pantheon Society, the Earth God, widened his eyes, his gaze towards Qi Jing filled with the expression of “Are you courting death?”
“Don't underestimate him.”
The Thunder God, arms crossed, swung the two hammers hanging from his waist.
He didn't look down on the opponent just because there was only one person. On the contrary, daring to step onto the stage alone, this hat-wearing boy must possess extraordinary strength.
“He's the recent Rookie King; he's very strong.”
The War God, with his dyed yellow hair, was filled with fighting spirit, as if he had already foreseen how intense the upcoming battle would be.
They were third-year students from other branches and hadn't directly observed Qi Jing's strength, only seeing it in videos.
But in the videos, this Rookie King had never gone all out.
Therefore, some of the three thought he was strong, and some thought he wasn't.
The War God single-handedly hoisted the golden giant axe and took off the upper half of his clothing, revealing eight large muscles hidden underneath:
“I'll test his level first later; you two don't move yet.”
“Okay, you go first.”
Many things always leave room for misunderstanding without seeing them with your own eyes; only by truly observing can you judge.
Letting the War God test Qi Jing's strength was perfectly acceptable.
At worst, it would change from a three-on-one to a two-on-one.
Amidst the three people's solemn preparations, the referee announced the start of the match:
“3, 2, 1, Begin!”
“I'll spar with you!”
Shouting this sentence, the War God lowered his center of gravity slightly, tapped the ground, and rushed straight towards Qi Jing.
Looking closely, the ground he had just stepped on was undamaged, and his speed was comparable to flying close to the ground, showing how strong his muscle control was.
“Damn!”
The golden giant axe in the War God's hand was like a mobile guillotine of the Grim Reaper, containing an inexplicable aura in the process of charging.
People found that staring at it for a long time would suddenly create an impulse in their hearts to offer their necks.
This was the War God's 【War God Aura】:
If there is no determination to win in the heart, anyone who opposes him will become weaker!
But would Qi Jing be affected?
Definitely not.
Regardless of whether he had abnormal status immunity, his heart had never considered the possibility of losing.
Moreover, he still wanted to show off!
“Open!”
Qi Jing imitated Gou Yigou's cry, raised the谪仙 (Zhe Xian) Umbrella in his hand, and directly faced the War God's axe chop.
Clang!
The War God was bounced back by a huge force, retreating four or five steps before dissolving the power transmitted from the axe.
Qi Jing also stepped back three steps.
So strong!
Both of them had this thought at the same time.
Although Qi Jing retreated less, he wasn't very happy because his current way of showing off was not to draw the sword from the umbrella and not to move his feet.
But now that he had retreated so much, it was already a bit degrading.
Having more muscles, being bigger, and dyeing your hair yellow doesn't mean you're so great, right? Shoot you!
Qi Jing extended his index finger, using the umbrella sword clone ring on it to shoot a beam of light, shooting towards the War God at a speed that could not be captured by the eye.
Fighting three at once, the easier it is to win, the more relaxed and calm, the cooler it is!
Biu!
This beam of light shot towards the War God's forehead at the speed of light, but this muscular, yellow-haired exhibitionist seemed to have foreseen the attack, raising the axe face to block it.
【War God Intuition】, the War God always knows what action to take next to defeat the opponent.
In other words, the War God could vaguely perceive what action would block the damage, and could also adjust his attack angle when attacking, hitting the opponent's weak defensive points, making the most correct decision on the battlefield.
“Interesting!”
Qi Jing and the War God looked at each other, and then started to act together.
Explosion Spell!
An explosion instantly rose from under the War God's feet, stirring up rolling dust.
“Is that all you've got!”
The War God's muscle defense was not just for show.
Without any dodging, he accepted the explosion damage at the cost of slightly scorching his skin, and rushed over again with the golden giant axe.
However, this time the giant axe was also covered with a golden energy, which would instantly pour out once it hit the opponent.
Qi Jing's Observation Haki also sensed that this time he couldn't take it head-on, so he began his second stage of pretending to be cool—short flash!
He twisted slightly to the left, trying to dodge the axe chop.
But the War God, relying on the War God's intuition, also tilted the axe to the right a lot.
Can you also see through the future?
In a brief exchange of glances, both understood the meaning in the other's eyes.
Then let's see who is faster!
Qi Jing became slightly serious, stepping on Qinggong (light body skill) under his feet, and when the War God swung to the right, he moved his feet greatly, leaving his attack range.
Kid, if I wasn't holding back, could you have touched me?
Speed, win!
Power, win!
Next, let me show you my fighting skills!
Qi Jing, who flashed outwards, did not choose to use his speed advantage or use ranged attacks to kite, but instead raised the谪仙 (Zhe Xian) Umbrella and actively attacked the War God.
