Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 127 VS Xu Kuan, Talent ’Fixed Point Defense

Chapter 127: Chapter 127 VS Xu Kuan, Talent ’Fixed Point Defense

"Yang Jian, who do you think will win between the two of them?" Beside him, Qin Wanfeng asked.

Sitting next to him were Yang Jian and Wu Ya.

Yang Jian pondered for a moment, "It’s hard to say, Xiao Zhan was able to contend with the Third Grade Zhang San even when he was at First Grade. Now that he has broken through to Second Grade, his strength has become stronger, and his advantage in fighting above his level is somewhat pronounced."

"But Xu Kuan is not weak either; he’s older and has more combat experience. His Spirit Manipulation Techniques are also very sharp."

"It’s difficult to predict who will win or lose, but overall, I’m leaning towards Xu Kuan."

Qin Wanfeng nodded, then turned to Wu Ya, "What do you think? Who will win?"

"I don’t care. It doesn’t matter to me who wins."

"That’s also true."

Qin Wanfeng found little interest in her response.

Wu Ya didn’t care about these things; she only cared if there were any weaklings in her team.

If there were, she’d kick them out.

In the arena, Xu Kuan faced off against Xiao Zhan.

The Miao Blade he held was silver all over, black only at the grip. The blade was slender and resembled young sprouts. Under the sunlight, it emitted a sharp and cold gleam.

"I’ve heard of your name long ago, and it’s commendable that you can fight for the Federation, but that’s not enough to stay on the special combat team. Today, I will be the one to disqualify you!"

Xu Kuan danced with the blade single-handedly, pointing it straight at Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan rested the Death Demon Scythe on his shoulder, finding the three-meter weapon quite unwieldy to hold except in that comfortable and most domineering position, which gave off an oppressive feeling of looking down from on high.

"No need for nonsense, come at me if you have the ability."

Xiao Zhan offered a cold smile.

With his Perception, the energy fluctuations around Xu Kuan clearly presented themselves in Xiao Zhan’s mind.

S-grade Talent Skill, A-grade Artifact Spirit—if there was nothing special about him, then all he could do was kneel.

Without hesitation, as the instructor gave the command, Xu Kuan charged fiercely towards Xiao Zhan.

He switched from one hand to two hands on his blade, the blade followed his motion, exuding an aggressive and overwhelming momentum.

On first strike, he used the Powerful Splitting Hua Mountain move.

Powerful Splitting Hua Mountain was mighty, but its weakness was obvious, allowing an enemy to seize the opportunity.

With such a wide and reckless move, he made no defensive maneuvers, completely disregarding Xiao Zhan.

Seeing this, Yang Jian slightly furrowed his brow, underestimating the enemy was to underestimate oneself, Xu Kuan had committed a grave error.

In the spectator area, Zhang San also smirked and shook his head.

"This kid, Xu Kuan, becoming the new star of the Combat Department, really doesn’t take anyone seriously."

"Do you mean he will lose?" asked the person next to him.

Zhang San replied, "I don’t know if he will lose, but I do know it won’t be easy for him."

Zhang San recalled the first time he met Xiao Zhan, how arrogant he himself had been back then.

And the result?

Heh, he’s just waiting to be slapped in the face.

In the arena, faced with Xu Kuan’s move, Xiao Zhan remained very calm.

His defenses were wide open, practically delivering himself to death.

As the Miao Blade approached, Xiao Zhan, analyzing with his Perception, took a preemptive step sideways, building up power in his legs. As he dodged the slash, he aimed a vicious kick towards Xu Kuan’s side.

Thud!

The kick was hefty and powerful, infused with Xiao Zhan’s strong physical force.

Yet Xiao Zhan frowned slightly because the feel of the kick was almost like kicking against steel.

He couldn’t help but look at Xu Kuan.

But he found Xu Kuan revealing a contemptuous sneer, "Do you really think the weakness I gave you is a weakness?"

Xu Kuan twisted his body and thrust his hands upward in a killing strike.

Xiao Zhan blocked with his Death Demon Scythe, and the two Artifact Spirits immediately emitted a metallic clashing sound.

Xu Kuan’s first strike did not succeed, and he immediately launched another attack, his body urging the blade to follow, turning with his waist, and continuously pressing the attack.

The techniques of the Miao Blade emphasize following upon every advance, and advancing at every follow, with continuous attack and retreat, movements that are swift and vigorous, and an offensive-defensive manner like breaking through bamboo, adept at continuous attacks.

Xu Kuan’s Talent Skill is ’Fixed Point Defense,’ which allows him to expand his desire to attack in battle without being affected in the slightest.

Thus, his consecutive ferocious attacks immediately caught Xiao Zhan off guard, forcing him into a passive defense.

"This Xiao Zhan doesn’t seem very good either, completely lacking his usual style, getting hammered by Xu Kuan," the person next to Zhang San disdainfully said.

He was not optimistic about Xiao Zhan.

Even Zhang San couldn’t help but frown at this scene; Xiao Zhan’s performance was completely different from when he was battling him.

Timid and defensively passive, it was not his style at all.

Could it be that in half a year’s time, he had regressed in his training?

He didn’t believe it.

He had made his claims; if Xiao Zhan were to lose, he would lose face.

"Don’t panic, Xiao Zhan hasn’t used his Spirit Manipulation Technique yet; it’s normal to probe the attack patterns early on," Zhang San retorted.

Xiao Zhan could lose, but his own pride could not.

In the arena.

Although Xiao Zhan was being pushed back, everything was still under his control.

Xu Kuan’s offense was fierce, but Xiao Zhan was no pushover. With his sharp Perception, he could easily block any of Xu Kuan’s attacks.

With his own formidable physical conditioning, facing Xu Kuan was easy for Xiao Zhan.

The reason he had been appearing passive was to understand what Xu Kuan’s ironcast-like defense was.

After all, if he couldn’t understand the principle behind something that seemed to be an automatic defense, Xiao Zhan would indeed have trouble defeating him.

The two engaged in combat, their figures darting and shifting across the combat stage, exchanging blows back and forth.

After a while.

Xiao Zhan released his Death Aura, disrupting Xu Kuan’s vision, and then abruptly widened the distance between them.

He threw the Death Demon Scythe over his shoulder.

He had now figured out Xu Kuan’s ability, which was a sort of protective barrier formed on the surface of the body through Spirit Manipulation Energy.

It could block all physical attacks.

And its strength was very high.

Even a full-strength blow from Xiao Zhan’s Death Demon Scythe could only inflict minor damage on Xu Kuan.

This was the reason Xu Kuan dared to forsake defense and focus entirely on offense.

However, with the aid of Perception, Xiao Zhan also discovered the weakness of this skill. The protective barrier formed by the Spirit Manipulation Energy was strong, but it was not comprehensive.

The Spirit Manipulation Energy was concentrated, forming a small region.

This region had intense energy fluctuations that could block all attacks, but the rest of the body had no energy fluctuations at all, meaning there was no defense elsewhere.

Knowing this.

Xiao Zhan had many more ways to deal with him.

Right away, he employed his Spirit Manipulation Technique, Fish Lamp Soul Summoning.

The intense Death Aura was released, instantly enveloping Xu Kuan within it.

Then, without any hesitation, Xiao Zhan chopped down towards him.

The Death Aura could shield his vision; without vision, Xu Kuan had no way to know the location of Xiao Zhan’s attack, and thus, he could not make a precise defense.
