his blue lightning fist and landed a solid hit to his abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speed of the exchange was intense, and he didn’t expect me to evade his attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Argh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kevin let out a muffled grunt as he rolled backwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My punch packed a powerful punch, delivering a hard blow that he felt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that he was trying to get up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t want to give him any more chances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I rush towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I got close to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I immediately executed the “Lightning Wheel” technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ka#boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A purple lightning wheel appears around me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I immediately collided with his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the purple lightning wheel touched him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, an explosion occurs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple lightning bolts struck his body, paralyzing and causing injury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Argh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another heart-wrenching cry escaped from Kevin’s mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His avatar was deeply hurt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few more attacks, the avatar will be gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, I appeared before his eyes and began to throw a punch at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fist of mine filled with purple lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I continued to strike Kevin’s Avatar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Avatar is getting weakened by every second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, the Avatar of Kevin was destroyed, it disappears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Winner is Zack Lockwood] A mechanical voice sounded, and then I retreated to my previous position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, Kevin opens the cover of the pod chamber to step outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression was ugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has failed to complete the task given by Main Elder Austin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, he thought the task was going to be easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But only after coming here, he realized that he was weak against a newcomer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On top of it, the purple lightning destroyed his avatar with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you doing?” Old Man Daniel asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that Kevin recollected his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s nothing,” He replied before leaving the facility with embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He doesn’t know what to say when he meets Main Elder Austin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He can only hope the other 2 can complete the task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man Daniel watched the whole scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After watching Kevin leave the premises, he furrowed his eyebrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t tell me he didn’t watch yesterday’s duel,” Daniel thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the first duel went easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zack Lockwood didn’t even find it hard to defeat Kevin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the blue space, I waited for the 2nd Avatar to appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly afterwards, The Avatar of Coltor appears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stood cross armed, looking at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three of them belong to the same Monster Hunting Squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I doubt whether he would do anything different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed, After a few minutes, Coltor’s expression turned bad, similar to that of Kevin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He, too, underestimated Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t handle the power of purple lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About a couple of minutes later, he met with the same end as Kevin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Winner is Zack Lockwood] A mechanical voice sounded again, confirming the victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Avatar of Coltor disappears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that I sighed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I expected a difficult challenge today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But out of nowhere, three idiots came to challenge me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It appears that they hadn’t done any research on me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I guess they found the task randomly and decided to come here and try.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, “Another failure,” old man Daniel commented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is Elder Austin doing?” he asked in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thinks if Elder Austin had known.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wouldn’t have let these 2 come here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coltor steps out of the pod chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He, too, was disappointed by his performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he first saw Kevin’s duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought Zack’s strength was similar to him However, he found something wrong with the power of lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But during the duel, he realizes the real power of the purple lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any technique to channel, a simple purple lightning bolt is enough to cause injury to others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coltor too, didn’t stay any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately left the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man Daniel glances at the last pod and shakes his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He doesn’t think the last one would be any different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the blue space, the Avatar of Nash appears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His previous 2 squad members were defeated just like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the other 2, he has observed the details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was very sure that he couldn’t take on Zack Lockwood’s purple lightning directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he drew the sword and started charging towards Zack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, I held the black sword in my hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing someone using a sword, I decided to fight him by using sword moves as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he got closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He made a vertical cut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sidestepped to avoid the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, I stabbed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nash quickly brought his sword downwards to block the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A metallic collision noise sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I swung the sword before Nash could block it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tip of the blade manages to pierce through his right arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A drop of blood dropped on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nash uses his blue lightning movement technique to retreat backwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lightning Phantom” Seeing that I immediately used the movement technique and started charging towards him to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, 2 lightning bolts can be seen going one against each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the 2 of them started using their Lightning power, their swords moved against each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During each collision, blue and purple arcs spread across the blue space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passes, Nash is slowly losing ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each time, he consumes more essence to make his lightning attack more powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, he found Zack Lockwood steady, calm and relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he can understand the frustration felt by 2 squad members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The task was given to them to test the limit of Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after coming here, they were the ones being tested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, I found the sword clashing more joyful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the other 2, Nash is being practical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found out soon that he couldn’t go against my purple lightning directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he is using sword moves to test me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he is losing fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About 20 minutes later, Nash has exhausted his essence reserve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of it, he was eliminated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His avatar disappears the next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Winner is Zack Lockwood] The Mechanical voice sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I found my consciousness went back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I opened my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have returned to the pod chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I removed the helmet and opened the top cover to step out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Nash stepped out as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face was not good-looking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looks exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that I know what happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He fought until he exhausted his essence reserve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, you are not bad,” Old Man Daniel’s voice sounded all of a sudden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is speaking to Nash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stood cross armed and started observing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling my gaze, he turned towards me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I did nothing,” He replied to the old man before he started approaching me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zack Lockwood, you are strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Austin was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just all three of us underestimated you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we had known your strength, we would have asked someone stronger to accept the task,” Nash revealed the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, I asked, “Did he send you?” “Yes, Elder Austin asked us to test your strength and push you to the limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it turns out the opposite; you have pushed us instead.” “I have to say your purple lightning is powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can say you can walk freely among even General Rank and Commander Rank Warriors,” Nash said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have a long way to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I thank you guys for coming ” I replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t be quick to thank me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m going to report it to the elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He will arrange a strong team tomorrow,” After saying that Nash decides to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded to both of us before leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he left the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man Daniel shakes his head before saying, “I knew something was off with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I didn’t expect them to come to test you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a total waste of time.” “We didn’t get any useful data today,” He sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I guess tomorrow will be different,” I said to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Man sighs before recalling something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, kid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You asked me earlier to watch Ronnie Seth’s duel against your Avatar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let me show you,” After saying that he played the video on the blue screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, my expression turned serious, and my gaze fell on the blue screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where I saw Ronnie Seth using black lightning against me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, there weren’t any differences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as the duel progressed, I started to use the “Lightning Wheel” technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I saw him carefully avoiding direct contact with the lightning wheel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, a black lightning hand appears from above and quickly presses down on the lightning wheel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The new move by Ronnie Seth caught my attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple lightning easily destroyed the black lightning hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ronnie was able to retreat to a safe distance in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He executed to attack at the right time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his attack turns out to be a rare wide range attack technique,” I said in my heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the duel was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I got the full picture of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronnie’s technique happens to counter the lightning wheel technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the lightning wheel consumes more essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, my avatar was exhausted and defeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Aravind_S Creation is hard, cheer me up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>VOTE for
