standing with anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just sent a request to others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t know who will fight against me first?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, a figure appeared opposite me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person is none other than Iron, SSS-ELITE Mid-Stage Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he is a Mid-Stage Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m not going to underestimate him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he is part of the Ice and Fire Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t think Main Elder Cathy would accept a normal genius to her Ice and Fire Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha..Ha..Ha.., I’m the first one to fight against you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s see whether you are strong as everyone says,” Iron said with a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Countdown starts 1…2….] The Mechanical voice sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that I manifested a black sword in my hand similar to the original one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iron manifested a huge hammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held the hammer handle by using both of his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Countdown 3…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ended.] Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a determined stride, Iron lunged forward to strike, lifting the hammer high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, intense dark red flames engulfed the hammer, radiating power and intensity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single strike from it can obliterate the target, reducing it to mere fragments, while intense red flames instantly incinerate anything in its path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I felt the intense heat radiating from the hammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I know it’s virtual, but still, the flame power is incredible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I gripped my sword and quickly started charging the blade with purple essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can’t rely on my perception in this situation, so I need to be extra cautious,” I thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Iron lifted his hammer to deliver a fierce blow, I decisively unleashed a powerful lightning beam from my sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sword Divide.” The purple beam surged forward, slicing through the air at breakneck speed, locking onto the fiery red hammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the two collided in an explosive clash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Collision!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A loud, terrible sound echoed through the space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I knew it was not real, so I was not worried about my surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, I used the lightning phantom technique to reach him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Argh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A determined grunt escaped Iron’s lips as the purple beam surged forward, overpowering his attack with fierce intensity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning arcs sizzled against his skin, but he refused to back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he braced for another strike, an instinctual sense of danger gripped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it!” he shouted, channeling his frustration as he swung his hammer with renewed vigor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A swirling tornado of red flames erupted around him, fueled by the force of his swing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I appeared before him, locked in his gaze, the tornado of crimson flames swirling protectively around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fierce glint flashed in my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lightning Wheel!” A powerful purple lightning wheel materialized around me, unleashing an awe-inspiring destructive force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lightning wheel sliced through the raging tornado, showing no signs of being affected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iron’s sense of crisis intensified as he realized the threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is he planning?” he questioned himself, unease gripping him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could think any further, he witnessed the impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zack Lockwood charged directly at him, the formidable lightning wheel poised to make contact with the furious flames of the tornado.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s over,” Iron muttered, a sinking feeling settling in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ka#boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple lightning wheel detonated upon colliding with the fierce red tornado, unleashing a surge of energy that quelled the flames instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the red tornado collapsed in an eye blink, the remaining lightning power surged toward him, striking his body with force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impossible,” he stated, feeling the overwhelming power of the lightning surge through him for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the mere presence of that energy was enough to instill a sense of dread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfff!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood splattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is feeling heart-wrenching pain as the lightning power destroys his bones and flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pain that occurs in virtual space makes you feel real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, both of his arms exploded, and his left led smothered into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared in disbelief at the chaos unfolding around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been certain that his flame tornado would successfully block the lightning strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, despite his SSS-ELITE Mid-Stage Body, the force of the impact was overwhelming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was propelled backwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The body landed on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looks miserable, half beaten to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The challenger lost the condition to fight.] [Zack Lockwood declared as the winner] The next second, Iron’s body disappears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Lightning Wheel attack beat him to half death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My eyes flash with satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s the effect of purple lightning seed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were an ordinary warrior, he would have been killed by the sword move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Iron’s flame hammer took the full brunt of the sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which left him with a superficial injury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real killer move was the lightning wheel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have used it countless times as my end moves so far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You got 5 minutes to prepare for the 2nd duel] The Mechanical voice sounded again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know how it works in virtual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought of a purple essence reserve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, the information appears in front of my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dantian Lightning Reserve: 87%] Seeing that I clicked my tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Virtual Training Lab is something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything here is data.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I guess this data was made after calculating the power of my two moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, Iron removed his helmet and opened the cover of the pod chamber to step out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then stood on the ground and started gasping for breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here, consume this potion kid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It will energize you,” Old Man Daniel gave him a bottle containing white liquid.” Iron didn’t say anything, he directly accepted the bottle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He removed the cork and swallowed the white liquid in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds later, he started feeling the effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mental tiredness was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind was clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body is being energized as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep breath before calming down his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not your first time fighting inside the virtual space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then why are you gasping for breath,” the Old man asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, it’s not my first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this is time for me to face death,” Iron replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was half beaten to death with a crippled condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s close to real-life death as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old man Daniel nodded his head in understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You have blocked his sword’s energy with a hammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet your fire elemental couldn’t withstand the destruction of purple lightning.” “The data were off the charts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The destructive power of lightning instantly destroyed your flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So your defeat is logical,” the Old man said while looking at the blue screen in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other staff were seriously working to record the profile information of Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the information related to combat ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The information will help Elders to come up with a good training plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So strong,” Iron gulped his saliva when he saw the destructive power of purple lightning recorded in four digits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While his flame-destructive power was under three digits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So his defeat was convincing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iron then looks at the other 2 pod chambers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They must have watched the duel from their perspective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he thought of something before asking, “Elder, what do you think of them?” “Them?” Daniel’s mouth curves into an arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes,” Iron replied; he wanted to see whose lightning power was best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They will lose,” Daniel uttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that Staff who were working smiled knowingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they have the data of Rosie and Russel with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is a huge gap between the power of lightning shown by Zack Lockwood and their recorded data.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How?” Iron asked out of curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old man Daniel looks at the screen, which has 2 minutes left before the next duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You kid look at his chart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His last lightning strike has caused 1124 Degrees Celsius of heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the 2 fellows in the pod chamber have 556° C and 587° C.” “Among the three, your data chart is weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your forest flame’s tornado strike showed a heat of 487°c.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why it got obliterated by the purple lightning,” Daniel said while pointing fingers at the chart on the blue screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iron sucked a cold breath of air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How is it possible?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of us are in the same rank,” Iron said in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has seen this level of power output in the Black Mark Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Ronnie stood up from the sofa with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the beginning of the duel, he has been focusing on the Lightning Element.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he had suspected, the flame element couldn’t hold a candle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The information about the warrior appeared on the screen as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ice and Fire Palace is known for selecting powerful warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the opponent was not weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zack Lockwood is strong, especially his purple lightning,” Ronnie said to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was always proud of his Black Lightning, which has corrosive properties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So far he has defeated many Lightning Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of them had powerful variant lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But none of them were able to defeat him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, out of nowhere, someone with Purple Lightning appeared and defeated him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a good idea comes to his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Virtual Training Lab holds the data of everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the First Duel ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff must have recorded Zack Lockwood’s data.” “If he wants he can go to the Virtual Training Lab to fight against the Virtual Zack Lockwood,” Ronnie said to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it’s not going to be easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knows it requires permission from the elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, the Virtual Training Lab would be crowded with people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Aravind_S Creation is hard, cheer me up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>VOTE for
