Chapter 706 - Alex\'s Help

Evelyn narrowed her eyes. "Big brother, he is going to lose, you know."

"I can see it." Alex nodded.

"I think you should help him. If he loses this match, there will be too many consequences, especially for you." Evelyn warned him.

"Don\'t worry." Alex smiled as he patted her head. He had been activating his Spirit Eyes and found out that the shield had a fatal weakness.

…

Song Jiaoren was panting on the stage as he was trying to search for a way to win.

Suddenly, Alex\'s voice resounded in his mind.

\'You are still waiting for a chance to win, right?\'

Song Jiaoren was surprised by this sudden thought transmission and had the urge to glance at Alex. However, Elizabeth might pick something if he acted strangely, so he decided to reply calmly. \'I\'m sorry for this display.\'

\'I can relate to your situation. He seems to have prepared everything to fight you, and that\'s what makes him confident in accepting your challenge. That\'s why I am going to give you a way to win.\'

\'A way to win?\' Song Jiaoren\'s heart skipped a beat. He was already in a hopeless situation at this point, and Alex could give the chance to overturn the situation just like that. This simply bewildered him. Although he didn\'t want to accept this, he had no choice. \'May I know the way to win?\'

\'Can you see there is a small white circle on the bottom part of the shield?\'

Song Jiaoren quickly searched for the white circle and found it. \'Yes. I found it.\'

\'The shield is made from Thunder Tree Root that has the ability to repel Lightning Element. However, the effect has been diluted by other materials. That is if the creator of that shield is a mediocre Forging Master. From what I see, the creator of that shield was a powerful Forging Master and Array Master. He inscribed a special array in that root and enhanced the performance of the shield. That\'s why if you destroy… No, even a slight crack will ruin the entire array. Do you know what I mean?\'

\'The shield will be useless, and it will be the time for my counterattack.\' Song Jiaoren widened his eyes as he took a deep breath and smirked. It seemed Alex was really an extraordinary person. As expected from a God Rank Expert\'s husband, he thought.

Song Jiaoren released all of his Spiritual Energy and Sword Intent.

Eric thought Song Jiaoren didn\'t use his Lightning Element simply because of the shield, but he was mistaken, and that would cost him this match.

"You are going to lose." Song Jiaoren raised his sword and disappeared. He was moving at his fastest speed and arrived in front of Eric.

"No, you won\'t win against me!" Eric thrust his spear.

Looking at this, Song Jiaoren bent down and slashed Eric from the bottom. "Myriad Sword Strike."

"Hmph." Eric snorted as he blocked Song Jiaoren\'s attack with his shield.

Suddenly, he felt that the force was far more powerful than all of his previous attacks. And that sword blew his shield away.

Song Jiaoren saw the chance and slashed his body, only to be blocked again by the Fire Dragon Armor.

"You won\'t be able to win against me." Eric laughed when he saw Song Jiaoren couldn\'t do anything against his armor.

Even so, the latter only smiled and continued with similar attack patterns. Striking the bottom of the shield to blow Eric\'s defense away, Song Jiaoren made other people think it was his last struggle. Even if Song Jiaoren lost, he would still be a great person. Everyone knew it, and that was precisely why they couldn\'t bear to see it.

Song Jiaoren lost to someone weaker, but with three treasures from Fire God Clan, especially in this stage where one should show their true talent instead of equipment. Yet, there was simply no rule that stated something like that, so they couldn\'t exactly force Eric to abandon his weapon and armor.

"Young Master!" The elders gritted their teeth as they couldn\'t bear the prideful Blackwade Clan to get humiliated like this.

\'It\'s fine, two elders. Believe me and my choice. Just make sure that the two elders from Fire God Clan not to interfere later.\' Song Jiaoren\'s voice resounded in their mind as their body froze after noticing his arro—confident tone.

The elders could do nothing but sighed as they waited patiently for the good news.

Song Jiaoren kept striking the same spot over and over again. Eric was still laughing because he thought Song Jiaoren was testing the strategy again and again, until finally…

*Crack!*

The cracking sound bewildered those in the arena. Elizabeth could hear it vaguely, but she was sure something was cracking. Eric also heard the sound, but he was confident it was Song Jiaoren\'s sword. Meanwhile, Song Jiaoren smiled upon hearing the sound as if he was listening to a peaceful melody.

Lightning started sparking around his body as he slashed the shield once more from the bottom.

"Myriad Sword Strike!" Song Jiaoren roared and struck the shield once again.

At this time, it wasn\'t a small sound anymore. Instead, the bottom part of the shield was completely shattered by that strike. There was no need to listen carefully because everything happened right in front of their eyes.

The lightning that was supposed to be repelled was still hovering around Song Jiaoren\'s sword while Eric\'s broken shield was blown away again.

\'I found his weakness.\' Song Jiaoren thought as he looked at Eric\'s hand, specifically the area after his wrist. He recalled what Alex said earlier and couldn\'t help but impress by his observation.

…

A minute ago,

Alex sent another thought transmission after seeing the abnormality around the bottom area. \'Keep it up a bit more. As soon as you are able to break that shield, aim at his hand, specifically his wrist. No matter if it\'s full body armor, that part couldn\'t be protected by the same amount of energy as his body. It\'s simply because his hand and fingers movement will be restricted too much. That\'s why if you attack that spot with your strongest attack, I believe it will be able to penetrate his Fire Dragon Armor.\'

Upon hearing that, Song Jiaoren was utterly speechless while keeping his barrage of attack. And when the shield broke, he was excited as his chance finally appeared.

Song Jiaoren didn\'t miss this chance and waved his sword. "Blackwade Clan Secret Swordsmanship, Sword of Dawn!"

His sword was shining in blue color as the sword struck at Eric\'s wrist. Not expecting this attack, Eric had no time to react and put more energy around his wrist to temporarily harden it.

"Argh!" He screamed out of pain while watching how Song Jiaoren sent his hand flying.

"Young Master!" Fire God Clan\'s elders turned around.

"Stop!" Blackwade Clan\'s elders were already informed by Song Jiaoren and appeared in front of them to make sure they couldn\'t interfere. "You stop us from interfering, so you should also know how it feels."

As the situation up there started getting heated, the arena was also in its climax. Not wanting to waste this chance, Song Jiaoren decided to cut another hand. However, Eric was able to react first and channeled all the Spiritual Energy to that area to make it as hard as he could get.

Song Jiaoren wasn\'t surprised by this and decided to blow him away.

"I lose!" Eric couldn\'t endure it anymore and quickly shouted.

Elizabeth then appeared between both of them while facing Song Jiaoren. "Young Master Song Jiaoren is a man of might. Even after facing such a challenge, you still manage to overcome it. Unfortunately, I believe it is time to end this battle. Don\'t you think so?"

Song Jiaoren stared at her for a minute before letting out a long sigh. "Such a shame. His brain can handle all the scheming, but his body is not. I am afraid that a villain like him will usually turn their tail when they know they are in a hopeless situation."

He didn\'t forget to throw an insult before leaving the arena as the two elders finally rescued Eric. They wanted to kill this Song Jiaoren, but the two elders would kill them before that, and they would also get more enemies, including the Divine Kingdom.

"Good work." Alex smiled.

Song Jiaoren nodded calmly, but he didn\'t forget to thank him with a thought transmission. \'Thank you for your help.\'

\'It\'s fine. We can\'t kill him in this banquet, but we can still make the Fire God Clan suffer.\'

\'Yes. I will immediately spread the information, so the Fire God Clan can start declining.\'

\'Well, I still have a fight after this, so you can judge how to spread the information afterward. Anyway, try to recover your Spiritual Energy first.\'

\'I understand.\' Song Jiaoren nodded before taking a few pills and closing his eyes.

Meanwhile, Alex rose from his seat and looked at Evelyn\'s senior brother with a calm expression as if he was looking down on him.

This was an insult in his eyes and quickly leaped toward the arena before pointing his finger toward Alex. "I, Adrus, want to challenge Alexander Sirius for a duel. Do you dare to fight me?"

"Big brother Alex…" Evelyn looked at him with a guilty expression. She felt bad that Alex somehow ended up with this mess because of her.

"I will be fine." Alex smiled and patted her head before flying to the arena. Of course, he didn\'t forget to send a message to her. "Don\'t forget to do what you need to do."

Alex landed on the arena with a small smile.

"You bastard! I will show the world that you are only a coward like your Spirit Nest! If you don\'t have the backing of the Blackwade Clan, you won\'t be able to rise this fast." Adrus started spouting nonsense.

\'Hmm… Why do I get a retard while Song Jiaoren got a scheming opponent? Though I should be grateful because this one won\'t bring me too much trouble like Eric Hinga.\' Alex thought. His heart was conflicted. On one hand, he loved to fight all these cliche opponents because he only needed to eliminate them once, and it would end. On the other hand, there was not much satisfaction in defeating them.

If he didn\'t want to show his strength to pressure the Ancient Blue Family, he wouldn\'t even accept the fight.

"I… No, we, Drunken Pavilion, won\'t do anything in case someone dies in this battle." Evelyn\'s voice resounded across the hall.

The people gasped when they heard the stand of Drunken Pavilion.

\'Doesn\'t this mean Alex has the backing of Drunken Pavilion to the point they would sacrifice an elder\'s son?\' Everyone had the same question in their mind.

Everyone… Except for Adrus.

The blood rushed into his head as he roared. "What did you say?!"

"Accept it. This is the will of the Pavilion Master." Evelyn snorted as she pointed her finger toward Angela. The latter then took out a single scroll and presented it to everyone.

Alex simply smiled as if he already knew about the scroll. In fact, he already received the information a few days ago from his N squad. Manness wanted to take advantage of him to resolve the corruption elder in the pavilion, and he accepted it because their objection was aligned. It was to sacrifice Adrus for their own benefit.

"You have been abandoned by your own influence." Alex smiled, taunting the insane Adrus.

"You Bastard! You are going to die today. And I will make sure that bitch won\'t be able to think anything except me… Don\'t worry, I won\'t break her so soon since it won\'t be fun!" Adrus released his Spiritual Energy and killing intent. A sword appeared in his hand as he gulped down a jar of wine. This was the special Martial Art from Drunken Pavilion. Drunken Style.

Alex also released his Spiritual Energy and both of his weapons.

"You may start!" Elizabeth could only start this battle when the two men were glaring at her.

"Die!" Adrus charged without hesitation and slashed his sword toward Alex.

Meanwhile, Alex smiled and activated his Spirit Step and Dragon Aura at the same time, boosting his power to a high degree. He swung his sword from the top and…

*Bam!*
