Chapter 1070
Giant Shark vs. Blade!
Now that Chen Ye has achieved a complete victory, making everyone's bets worthwhile and earning them a sum of money, the way people look at Chen Ye has naturally changed.
Of all those present, only Jiu Feng did not place a bet.
Everyone else had placed bets, and seeing that Chen Ye was able to bring back the victory they all longed for, they all showed satisfied expressions.
The female referee announced loudly:
"Next up, let's have the Great Sharks face off against the Blades!"
The female referee's words ignited the enthusiasm of the entire audience, and all the viewers once again focused their attention on the arena stage.
A figure dressed in a silver robe and holding a blade appeared on the stands.
"Is he Blade?"
When Blade appeared, he immediately caused a stir among the audience, sparking a frenzy of discussion:
"Blade, this guy is no ordinary person. It's said that he once achieved eight consecutive victories in one day, entering the ranks of high-level challengers. He's a complete madman!"
"That's right, Blade's Dharma form is very powerful, almost pushing the Dao of the Blade to its limit. This guy's strength is definitely not simple; he's considered quite strong even among high-level challengers!"
"The python's form is still that of a gigantic beast; it feels like it's about to become fish on a chopping block!"
"Wow, it's Blade who's playing! I heard he's really handsome, and seeing him in person today, I can confirm it's true."
"Blade's strength should be above that of the python, and it has some advantage against behemoth transformation. I wonder how the python will deal with it."
"These are all matches featuring high-level challengers; they're definitely going to get interesting!"
As the match began.
Sharp blades immediately materialized beside Blade, slicing through the void and launching a fierce attack on the python.
Knowing that the blade was difficult to deal with, the python quickly began to split into agile forms to evade.
The Dharma images continuously condensed in the void, outlining two different figures that chased each other, giving each other no chance to breathe.
"The blade's attacks are too fierce! This python seems to be struggling to withstand them!"
"However, the python's pace did not falter at all. He was still able to handle the blade's attacks with ease, which is quite rare."
"That's right. Although the python was at a disadvantage, it didn't panic at all and managed to neutralize the blade's attacks. It seems that the python has indeed become stronger after the last battle with the giant shark!"
"This is a high-level challenger. Their resilience is truly extraordinary. Even the giant shark from before couldn't break the python's offensive so quickly. The two fought for a while. This halftime break was almost half an hour long. I guess it was to give the python enough time to rest?"
"That's for sure. Battles against high-level challengers are always very stressful. Even now, the python hasn't recovered to 100% of its previous strength, and it has to immediately engage in battle."
"This battle is somewhat unfair to the python, which fought the first battle, after all, it consumed so much energy. It's really not easy to sustain such a huge amount of energy consumption!"
"That's right, that's exactly it."
"Hopefully, the Python can pull itself together and at least not let the Blade win this match so easily. We hope both sides can put on a more exciting game!"
At this point, most of the bets on the field were against the Blade.
The betting odds have been tilted.
It's no longer a 50/50 situation like before!
When the giant shark was beating the python, the odds were even, but now that the more popular and seemingly stronger Blade has been replaced, the odds have immediately shifted, and the original balance has been broken.
Everyone knows that after a python has fought a battle, it is definitely at a disadvantage from the start.
Moreover.
This opponent, Blade, is quite strong and has a large following. Among the mid-level challengers, he even has a long winning streak.
As a result, everyone naturally favors Blade more.
and……
In terms of the attributes of the Dharma Form, Blade's Myriad Blades Dharma Form is more effective against the behemoth form. After all, flesh is flesh and cannot withstand a sharp blade. Moreover, Blade's Dharma Form is extremely sharp. Even a python would not dare to confront it head-on with its bare body. Instead, it would have to rely on agile movement to dodge wave after wave of attacks and use flexible and adaptable methods to deal with it.
On the battlefield, the blade of the sword relentlessly advanced towards the python.
They were practically being pushed to the very last corner of the stands.
But for some reason, the python was still able to use its agile body to maneuver and dodge the blade's attack.
"You're really fast at running away!"
Blade's words turned cold, and a rare emotional fluctuation appeared, as if he felt some regret for not being able to defeat the python with this move.
"Your attack is indeed sharp, but taking me down won't be so easy."
With a light laugh, the python took a few more steps and returned to the center of the battlefield.
Continue the standoff with Blade.
At this moment.
The battle on the field took Chen Ye by surprise.
"I didn't expect this python to actually have some skill. It was able to withstand such pressure. Its combat ability is quite extraordinary!"
From Chen Ye's perspective, the Blade's Dharma form was originally intended to have a certain restraining effect on the python.
But to everyone's surprise, the python withstood the pressure so quickly.
It was able to withstand such a powerful offensive.
At this moment.
Blade revealed a sinister smile and said, "Very good, I have memorized your movement trajectory. Next time, you won't be able to dodge my attacks so easily."
The python maintained its calm smile and said, "If you think it's okay, then you're welcome to give it a try."
As soon as he finished speaking, the blade's attack split out in all directions towards the python. Each blade seemed to have a life of its own, stabbing towards the python from every angle like a swimming dragon.
But at that moment, scales suddenly began to grow all over the python's body!
The blade struck the scales, producing only a clanging sound, but it couldn't advance an inch.
At this moment, the expression on Blade's face completely changed!
"What kind of move is this?" At this moment, his own sharp blade could not cause the slightest damage. This unbelievable scene was completely beyond the scope of his understanding.
In his mind, no matter what form the behemoth took, the blade that attacked him was ultimately just a lump of flesh.
As long as your blade is sharp enough, there is nothing you cannot cut through.
but.
At this moment, the python's scales, which it had developed, actually managed to withstand the sharp blade.
Suddenly.
The entire fighting arena was taken aback by this.
"What kind of abilities does this python possess that allow it to withstand the blade?"
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be evolving towards becoming a behemoth, moving towards the direction of the dragon race, which is why it has such abilities."
"So that's how it is. Snakes and dragons are originally of the same race. To be able to comprehend the Dharma form of the dragon race is truly extraordinary!"
"Just what kind of creature is this python that it can comprehend the laws of the dragon race? This must be an extremely rare phenomenon in the history of Sky City, right?"
"Although it's just scaling, there's no doubt that it's evolving in the direction of the dragon race. That's no small feat!"
"My goodness, I didn't expect today's match to be so exciting! Even the Dharma Avatar of the Dragon Clan has come out to fight! Hahaha, all this effort to come here and watch the match was worthwhile!"
"After all, it's a battle between high-level challengers, so it's not that simple. Even the level that a high-level challenger should be able to show is something this kid can't withstand. It's just too difficult!"
At that moment, during the match in the stands, when the python used its scale-transformation technique, it immediately drew cheers from the crowd.
After all, such a situation is quite rare on the field.
Such hard scales can even withstand such a sharp blade...
No matter what, it was enough to ignite the entire venue!
At this moment.
Blade's eyes narrowed involuntarily.
Seeing that his blade couldn't penetrate the python's scales, he was somewhat surprised.
After all, a python is just a giant python, but it has comprehended another form of Dharma, which allows it to transform into a dragon and condense these special scales on its body, which can even block attacks from blades.
In this respect, the direction of the python becoming a behemoth is undoubtedly the one that has done a better job.
It might even achieve the effect of countering the blade.
The blade materialized again and attacked the python's belly.
"The abdomen is usually the weak point of a behemoth."
Blade's eyes sharpened, preparing to deliver a heavy blow to the python.
But at that moment, the same scales reappeared on the python's abdomen.
With a resounding clang, the sound echoed throughout the entire venue...
The scales that had gathered on the python's belly still managed to block the blade's attack.
It appears to be completely flawless.
at this time.
The spectators in the stands were immediately astonished and shocked:
"This python's dragon transformation technique is incredibly flexible. It seems like it can evolve these scales on any part of its body to block a fatal blow!"
"That's right. This python's strength seems to be more than it appears now. Its ability to continuously condense these scales makes it very difficult to defeat in actual combat."
"Indeed, this attack pattern is very special. As long as you can ensure your own survival, you will have a chance to find a weakness in the blade."
"I don't know how pythons manage to transform into scales like that; that's the law of dragon transformation!"
"That's the charm of the Battle Arena. You can never focus on the day before the contestant appears, but on their future. No matter what form the opponent takes, if you can find a better point of leverage and a direction that can be optimized, you can do quite well."
"So that's how it is! This is the charm of magical duels. I think I'm experiencing this kind of fun. But where exactly is it?"
"Hey! We old folks come here all the time to watch the magic duels. We find them so interesting, we wish we could come every day... But it all costs money, so we have to place bets and try to make back the ticket price. If we can make even more, that would be even better!"
"I heard you old men must have lost a lot of money!"
"Ahem, that's how it is. After all, if you walk by the river, you're bound to get your shoes wet!"
"We still need to bet rationally, because once you place a bet on this, you can't get it back."
"Winning money by betting is very difficult. Before the bet is even started, with different approaches colliding, no one knows what the outcome will be."
"Yes, betting on magical duels is no easy thing."
"Many people can't play it!"
At this moment, Blade was still trying to launch a fierce attack on the python.
However, the python's scales are so precise and accurate that they seem to have undergone countless hours of practice, always able to lock onto the direction of the blade's attack and thus defend against it.
Chen Ye's eyes narrowed slightly:
"The logic of this python's Dharma form is somewhat similar to my red sun. When there is a need to resist, the corresponding spiritual energy needs to be concentrated on that point... However, compared to the red sun, the python's scales are traceable and belong to one of the Dharma forms, or rather, a derived Dharma form, just like the afterglow of my red sun and the lone smoke in the desert... But the python's Dharma form is moving in the direction of evolution. Perhaps this is the charm of the behemoth Dharma form!"
Every giant beast has a direction for evolution, but it must comprehend the corresponding laws in order to evolve.
Many players who specialize in behemoth-like forms tend to switch to practicing another form when one becomes ineffective, thus diverting their focus. Over time, this leads to a lack of proficiency in any form, making it impossible to effectively utilize any of them.
In short, if you want to master behemoth transformation, it's very difficult to do it well without understanding the direction of evolution.
At this moment.
The blade continued its attacks, attempting to strike the python from various tricky angles.
But it's a pity...
The python's scales can always block the blade's attack. Over time, the blade will naturally wear down more as the attack continues unsuccessfully.
After all, the evolution of a python is a very small undertaking, and it's only a temporary evolution. These scales simply condense in the corresponding locations where defense is needed, so the consumption is minimal, yet they are extremely useful. (End of Chapter)
