Chapter 1331 The Best Training Ground
"It seems I will spend my time in the Red Plain for a while," Tang Shaoyang muttered and turned toward the direction where his opponent was teleported.
The third opponent also used the Bloodline Transformation before entering the arena. It had become a pattern that his opponent would use Bloodline Transformation before entering the arena. That was the right move except for his first opponent who tried to use the element of surprise to win the battle.
The third opponent had a subtle change of appearance. If not for the jade feather wing, the hawk\'s eyebrow, and the combination of yellow and black eyes. It would be hard to tell whether his opponent is using the Bloodline Transformation or not. As he observed his opponent from afar, his opponent also looked at him from such a distance.
"That\'s the eye of a hawk," Tang Shaoyang focused on the waist. His opponent used something like a dagger, but it was longer than a dagger, "It\'s a short sword, I guess?" It was misleading because of the curve, and he could not tell if it was a dagger or a short sword, "I guess a dagger is a short sword, no?"
As he contemplated how he should fight someone with a short weapon, his opponent\'s figure disappeared. Tang Shaoyang lost sight of his opponent in the blink of an eye. Weird enough that he could not find Malrus despite his wide range of view through Spirit Eyes.
"He went invisible…." Tang Shaoyang concluded and retracted his Spirit Eyes. His Spirit Eyes could not see through the invisibility, but not with his Dragon Eyes which could see energy. He saw a bulk of concentrated energy, coming toward him with a frightening speed.
"It\'s not invisibility, but he\'s a wind himself," The wind arrived in front of him. Tang Shaoyang responded with a fist. It was a normal punch combined with Energy Destruction Touch. He hit through the win, destroying the wind and revealing the person hiding behind the wind.
Malrus flew backward, not expecting his opponent could catch him in his wind form. He landed on his feet, skidding through the ground. His right palm was on his chest, covering the spot where he was punched. He felt the throbbing pain, giving a hard time to breathe properly for a moment.
\'What just happened?\' He was confused about what happened, not expecting his opponent to break his Wind Morph. He was not surprised that his opponent could see through his invisibility from Wind Morph. However, his opponent did not just see him but also broke his Wind Morph with just an ordinary punch.
Malrus then glanced at the sword on Tang Shaoyang\'s back. What would happen if his opponent used that sword instead of punching him? That was what crossed his mind. The answer was obvious, his heart would be pierced, and he would be dead by now.
\'I can\'t prolong the fight and must end him fast before he grasps all my tricks,\' Realizing he did not have an advantage against someone who could break his Wind Morph easily. Malrus decided that he must quickly end the fight with everything he had, \'I planned to have one more battle after this one, but I just have to satisfy with one God Shard for today.\'
The wind rose and surrounded Tang Shaoyang. The wind swirled as the red dust also rose to the air because of the wind. He could tell that the swirling wind was akin to the spinning blade. He would get cut into pieces if he tried to escape from the area. Not that he planned to escape, but he quickly realized that his opponent tried to confine him in this area and end him here.
\'I would like to have a good fight, but it seems my opponent is feeling threatened from that first punch,\' Tang Shaoyang guessed correctly why his opponent suddenly pulled out such a big move. Even so, he did not plan to end quickly as his opponent fought. Again, he tried to expand his experience by fighting various kinds of opponents with different skills and techniques, \'I have been relying on Nine Heavenly Gates too much. Let\'s focus on something else.\'
[Domain of Paragon Armament!]
All various kinds of weapons spawned on the ground, spears, daggers, hammers, shields, and other weapons, scattered all around. Paragon of Armament was one of his newest classes, and he had not been utilizing the skill that much. He wanted to understand more about this class, and this was the right moment for him to get a deep understanding of his class. He could not really die in this trial, he had three lives here. That made this trial the best training ground for him with a decent opponent.
Paragon of Armament was a class that allowed him to understand all weapons. His opponent was using daggers, and the best weapon to fight against someone with a dagger was the shield. A dagger was a fatal weapon, but it lacked destructive force.
Two shields floated from the ground and flew toward Tang Shaoyang. The two shields had different shapes, one was a round shield and another one was a diamond shape. The common thing about both shields was that both shields had sharp edges, as sharp as the sword. This was his first time fighting with a shield, but as soon as the shield reached his hand. He felt familiar as if he had been using a shield for a long time. That was the effect of the Paragon of Armament.
After equipping with the shield, he scanned the swirling wind. What he saw through Dragon Eye and Demon Eye was the raging mana from the wind. Malrus blended together with this mana, and it was hard for Tang Shaoyang to find Malrus in this raging mana. Malrus camouflaged himself in his own mana which was smart.
"When are you going to make your move?" Tang Shaoyang spoke by himself, and of course, those words were directed toward Malrus. He could not find Malrus, but he just needed to wait until Malrus came for him instead. Eventually, Malrus had to attack him to win the battle and God Shard.
Right after he uttered the question, he felt movement. To his surprise, the movement came from five different directions. Smaller swirling wind came for him, and one of them was Malrus.
"Quite smart, but you are fighting the wrong opponent if you think you can win with such a cheap trick," Tang Shaoyang rushed to one of the incoming swirling winds. He struck forward with his shield with Energy Destruction Touch.
Just like a balloon, the wind popped out as the mana to maintain the wind disintegrated.
Tang Shaoyang turned around and furrowed his brow, "Weird. I thought I was for sure he was in that wind," He used [Battle Sense], one of Paragon of Armament\'s skills. He sensed something different within the wind he just destroyed. He thought it was Malrus, but he was wrong.
\'Did I perceive it wrong?\' Tang Shaoyang tried [Battle Sense] once more. There was an extraneous feeling he perceived, similar to Dragon Sense but also different. Dragon Sense worked like an instinct, a spontaneous feeling that appeared out of nowhere. But Battle Sense worked differently, and he could not tell how much the difference was because this was the first time he used the skill. He did not even know if used the skill properly.
All of sudden, the strange sensation from Battle Sense got him. He turned toward the direction and saw the wind formed three daggers. The three daggers shot toward him. Just like an alarm, Battle Sense warned him that he would be attacked from that direction. Battle Sense warned him when it felt mana movement from the swirling wind. When he turned toward the direction, the wind dagger had not even formed yet.
Tang Shaoyang swung the shield. That was right, he swung his shield and smashed the dagger. The wind dagger disintegrated with a single smash. Then he got that tingling sensation from Battle Sense. He turned around, and Malrus finally revealed himself.
He came out of the swirling wind surprised that Tang Shaoyang was looking at him right after smashing the wind dagger. He was surprised, but he did not stop his attack. His figure moved smoothly like a wind with two daggers in his hand. The dagger was aimed at Tang Shaoyang\'s neck and was met with the shield.
Clank! Clank!
Malrus immediately stepped back, avoiding the diamond-shaped shield narrowly. His heart skipped a beat with how fast his opponent countered him. It was as if his opponent read all his attacks. He used the remaining two swirling winds to form more wind daggers.
The six daggers shot toward Tang Shaoyang from two different directions. Malrus watched his opponent smash his wind daggers without looking at them while retreating. The moment the six daggers disintegrated, he returned to the wind, blending with his own mana.
\'This is going to be hard, but I will not give up,\' Malrus then activated Wind Blade Domain. The swirling wind that caged Tang Shaoyang scattered as the wind storm formed.
