Chapter 915: Chapter 915
"Not good, Du You, Du You has been taken to the arena by someone from the alliance’s comprehensive college. This is definitely a trap."
The student council members being interviewed suddenly heard someone shouting, and various thoughts filled their minds. However, several of them opened their panels without hesitation to connect with the arena.
"Damn that Alliance Comprehensive College, acting so quickly. And Du You, agreeing to them so easily, doesn’t he know he could have waited for us to go and help him out?" someone grumbled with dissatisfaction after understanding the situation.
Gao Qiong shook his head, "Under those circumstances, he had no choice but to accept; if Du You rejected the challenge, it would also damage our college’s reputation. Now, all we can hope for is his victory."
"No, that person, that’s Jiang Hao, damn it, why is it him?"
Meanwhile, Du You and Jiang Hao were already standing opposite each other on a spacious grassland-type map, ready for confrontation.
"You must be quite well-known within the Alliance Comprehensive College too. If you lose this time, it won’t bode well for your college," Du You said calmly, having roughly figured out the opponent’s intentions.
"Of course, but I won’t lose. Your strength is decent, but I’m not inferior," Jiang Hao said as four wings unfolded behind him. They flickered with white light, like those of a dragonfly, appearing somewhat strange on such a big man as him.
"No, that’s not a skill; that’s a bloodline ability," Du You suddenly realized something was amiss.
"What is that? It doesn’t look like a skill," people outside also noticed the issue.
One of Jiang Hao’s companions said proudly, "Jiang Hao’s father is an Alliance council member. He’s received elite education and an abundance of resources since he was young. Although he’s only in ninth grade, his strength has already reached the fourth tier. Moreover, he has the extremely rare Light Attribute bloodline, and it is said that his star level has also been raised to nine stars."
Those around immediately came to a realization; so this person was the trump card of the Alliance Comprehensive College. Why hadn’t they heard about him before? Had the college been hiding him all this time, only to reveal him today?
"Damn it, I want to bet on Jiang Hao’s victory. Damn, why is the betting closed?"
Countless people started cursing. By the time they realized Jiang Hao’s strong power, the bets were no longer being taken. Was this meant to bankrupt them, this cursed bet? Who the hell had organized it?
At that moment, no one spoke. The fight was about to break out, and everyone watched tensely.
"I hope Du You can win this time," everyone from Capital University thought.
"Du You is not as simple as he appears on the surface. This guy always acts with certainty and doesn’t make rash moves," Xi Qianxue said with some nervousness, but with her understanding of Du You, he wouldn’t have accepted the challenge without some assurance.
"I believe that. He’s a loner who highly values his own strength. How could he possibly advance all his skills on the battlefield? I’m sure he has skills suited for combat."
Li Mengyao had never witnessed Du You fighting alone, but she knew his character. He always had a strong sense of crisis in mind and constantly worked on his weaknesses. Even if his strengths weren’t showcased well, it was extremely difficult to find a weak point in Du You due to his personality.
At that moment, the battle had already begun. Du You cast a Dark Flame Arrow Array from afar at Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao was not to be outdone, his body erupted with light, forming a Shield Spell that blocked the incoming arrows. Their force seemed to have little effect on him.
He drew two long swords from his back, a slim rapier in his right hand and a shorter double-edged sword in his left. Seeing this, Du You knew that Jiang Hao definitely favored speed. He couldn’t compete with him in terms of velocity.
"Light Speed Sprint." Jiang Hao’s feet moved, and he appeared in front of Du You almost instantaneously, as if he was made of light. Du You knew that it wasn’t Instantaneous Movement, but rather that Jiang Hao’s speed was incredibly fast.
In his Spiritual Perception, Du You could vaguely sense the trajectory of Jiang Hao’s movements. "Not good, this guy is not weak."
He began to sense some danger. It wasn’t that he was weaker. Although Du You’s star level was indeed very high, higher than his opponent’s, Jiang Hao was only one star level behind. The key was that Du You had no bloodline. Bloodlines could provide a significant boost, compensating for the gap between the two.
With a cruel smile, Jiang Hao thrust his rapier viciously toward Du You’s forehead. But the next moment, Jiang Hao’s smile froze. His sure-hit thrust was unexpectedly blocked.
A semi-transparent black Shield Spell appeared in front of Du You’s forehead, effectively stopping the attack. Light and dark sparks erupted, but his rapier simply couldn’t pierce through.
This was Du You’s Shield Spell, which now had a passive defensive effect, allowing Du You to defend without needing to react. Not to mention, although Jiang Hao was fast, Du You wasn’t completely unable to respond.
After striking once, instead of waiting for Du You to attack, Jiang Hao turned and fled. "Such pure dark power, and I can’t restrain you." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝔫𝔢𝔱
Du You’s mouth curled into a smile, "Of course you can’t restrain me. The Light Attribute doesn’t counter the Dark, it counters evil. My Dark Attribute is pure, devoid of any evil for you to counter."
Jiang Hao’s heart sank. Something was wrong with the information. The purest Dark Attribute path was difficult and few chose it. But it couldn’t be denied that pure dark power wouldn’t be unilaterally suppressed by the Light, but instead, they countered each other.
No wonder the arrows, albeit few hitting him, caused his shield to drain quickly. He hadn’t noticed before, but thinking about it now, it was likely due to the mutual suppression.
"Even so, as long as I’m faster, you’re still no match for me," Jiang Hao suddenly began to run, picking up even more speed, becoming a streak of light circling around Du You.
The wings on his back fluttered, accelerating him further.
His two swords alternated in a frenzy of attacks towards Du You, like a violent storm that most would find impossible to defend against. Yet, Du You’s Shield Spells always appeared just in time to fend them off.
"A passive defense skill? That is terrifying, but how much can you block?" Jiang Hao realized that Du You’s skill didn’t require conscious control, and its passive defense was much faster than his own speed.
