The legendary warrior novel Chapter 61

"Turns out that Agnes is one of the Amber Faction. I never knew that before," Ricky murmured.

......

"Boom! Boom!"

The momentum of the two warriors surged out, and with it, the tense atmosphere of the battlefield suddenly rose to the extreme, spreading to the whole square. Heads were turning, and necks were craning.

All the way from below the battlefield, the outer disciples' yells could be heard.

"Agnes, how about this? I'll let you make first three moves and I won't fight back at all!" Weldon said condescendingly, looking down at Agnes.

But his arrogance made sense. Although both Agnes and Weldon were among the top ten outer disciples, there still was a huge gap between them, because Agnes ranked only sixth while Weldon ranked the third.

Agnes ignored Weldon's arrogant mockery. On her delicate and slender hands, the strong spiritual energy of water nature had emerged, glowing in a pale blue color that matched the hue of her dress.

In a snap, Agnes suddenly appeared in front of Weldon with the speed of a fish shooting across the water, and gave him a forceful slap.

Whoa! The sound of roaring waves erupted from behind Agnes's palms. The pale blue spiritual energy had turned into actual waves, power surging on Agnes's palms.

"Overlapping Wave Palm - Quadruple Waves!"

With this shout, Agnes's right palm transformed into four mighty hands, dispersing and blending with each other. They then smashed violently into Weldon's face.

"This is Overlapping Wave Palm, one of Agnes' strongest moves!" Some disciples exclaimed.

"She used the Quadruple Waves as her first move. It appears that Agnes intends to kill Weldon with a single blow! He must be regretting the condescending offer he made her. After all, this is a fierce attack!"

......

As they had guessed, Weldon's face grew dark. He had never anticipate that Agnes would exert all her energy on her first attempt.

In the face of Agnes giving her full force, even though he was marvelously strong at the Skin Refinement, Weldon was clearly aware that he couldn't take her fierce attack without fighting back.

But, he had audibly made an public promise, so he could do nothing but try his best to avoid Agnes's first three moves for the meantime.

And so, when the Quadruple Waves Palm smashed into him, Weldon spun around as fast as he could to avoid the blow. However, this particular power was flexible and fluid, as the spiritual energy of water was.

The moment he tried to avoid it, the Quadruple Waves Palm abruptly changed its track.

It bombarded the edge of Weldon's right shoulder, tearing up the cloth on his shoulder and injuring him badly. Now Weldon was bleeding profusely.

"Boom!" Before he could recover from the pain on his shoulder, Agnes let forth her second attack, once again using the Quadruple Waves Palm.

This time, Weldon didn't choose to stand still awaiting his demise. He also threw a punch, dissolving Agnes's fierce attack.

But knowing the shame of what he had done, Weldon's face darkened with anger.

"You seem to have broken your promise. This is only the second move, and it is just as powerful as the first one!" Agnes quipped, unsurprised at his reaction.

"Boo!"

"Shame!"

Many disciples around the battlefield showed their contempt at Weldon for breaking his arrogant promise.

Hearing the sounds of disdain, Weldon fumed with rage and extreme embarrassment. He roared indignantly, "Agnes, if I get my hands on you, I will make you beg for death!"

His powerful momentum had been gaining traction. He knew the only way to save his dignity was to defeat Agnes through and through!

It could be seen that Weldon channeled all his power into his right arm.

A line of white runes burst forth from his right arm with manic spiritual energy, rapidly spreading throughout his whole arm.

Weldon clenched his right fist firmly, gathering all the spiritual energies and runes into his one hand, like an indestructible glove.

"Runic power, Wind Palm!" He roared, a wild blast shooting out from his fist.

"Those runes! That is the power of manuals!" Some disciples exclaimed, startled.

"Weldon has already become a casting master of the Demi-mortal Level! No wonder he can use the power of manuals!" the disciples said with admiration.

"If Weldon pulls out all the stops, it is almost certain that Agnes will lose the battle."

'Power of the Manual? I doubt that it can match the power of my Chaos Manual, ' Ricky mused to himself. He stared at the battlefield, wondering how Agnes was faring.

Ricky could keenly sense how terrifyingly immense the dual strength of this punch from Weldon was. If he were faced with that move, he would also use his most powerful strength to deal with it!

At this, Agnes spread out her delicate palms, and the infinite spiritual energies of water nature began to surge once again. When all the power had encompassed her right palm, she delivered another vigorous slap.

"Boom!" Her palms and his fists collided with each other. Intense momentum permeated the air, sending shockwaves through the arena.

In the meantime, Agnes's giant wave palm disintegrated in one blow, as if it had been broken by Weldon's attack in an instant.

But after a series of blasts, the fragments of Agnes' wave palm unexpectedly regrouped, turning into seven overlapping wave palms.

This was still part of the Overlapping Wave Palm. But now, it was Septuple Waves Palm, with the strength multiplied seven-fold.

Seven wave palms hurled slaps in rapid succession, colliding with Weldon's fist once again.

Amid a burst of manic thundering of airflow rippling, a figure was thrown back several feet into the ground, with blood bursting from his mouth and spaying on the ground.

It was none other than Weldon. Agnes's Septuple Waves Palm had made him suffer a swift and clear-cut defeat.

"The... Septuple Waves Palm. How could she even do that?" The disciples murmured among themselves, shocked once more. And then, they worked this out.

Overlapping Wave Palm was divided into nine grades. Every extra grade doubled the power of a warrior. If the warrior of Skin Refinement became able to refine his Overlapping Wave Palm into the fifth grade, he would be regarded as a genius.

But Agnes' move had been the Septuple Waves Palm, an unexpected twist. All the spectators were stupefied, mouths open in disbelief.

"Brilliant!" In the audience, Zenith nodded his head slightly, showing great satisfaction in his eyes. The more geniuses he discovered, the more pleased he felt. There was great potential in many of the warriors this year.

The other four Elders expressed the same delight.

"Weldon certainly failed when Agnes used the Septuple Waves Palm on him. I wonder how many aces she has left up her sleeve," Ricky thought to himself.

"Goodness. It appears that the next battles will only be more and more exciting and tense! But I know I have nothing to fear. Everything is unfolding as I expected!"

......

With all the heated discussions on her incredible power, Agnes walked slowly in front of Weldon who was dazedly spitting out blood. She stopped and stared down at him, coldly saying, "I have told you before that I will rely on my own power to take the rank of third highest of outer disciples from you someday. I warned you, and yet you underestimated me. That is why you have failed so miserably today!"

"Humph! I am Weldon! I will never be defeated by a fragile girl like you!" Weldon roared, mustering his all strength to stand up. He was preparing to engage in a second round of this battle. His pride wouldn't let him admit defeat.

"Weldon, please admit your failure. As members of the Casting Faction, we should have the courage and wisdom to face defeat graciously." A sudden detached voice interrupted Weldon's vengeful fury.
