Chapter 392

"I don't know!" the Left Prime Minister said, "Perhaps he's a promising candidate!"

The competition continued.

Contestants under twenty years old took the stage one after another; by the time Arondas stepped up, the crowd below erupted in cheers.

Jiang Li looked at Arondas and said, "Do you still hate him?"

"What, are you going to avenge me?" Julia asked.

"That wouldn't be impossible."

"I believe in you!" Julia said with a smile.

Just then, a cry of shock rose from the crowd.

For Arondas had directly cleaved the first two alloy spheres in half, the cuts perfectly even.

Such strength was enough to stun everyone.

On the host's platform.

All around the Left Prime Minister were voices of flattery.

Arondas confidently spread his arms—spinning in a circle on the competition field to acknowledge the audience, then looked toward Jiang Li beside Julia with a face full of contempt.

"Father only told me not to do anything to you, but he didn't say I couldn't provoke you!"

Thinking this.

Arondas directly gave Jiang Li on the stands a thumbs-up, then slowly turned it downward.

Full of provocation, the entire hall erupted.

"Who is that young man? Just now the Left Prime Minister actively greeted the girl beside him!"

"Now he's actively provoking!"

The audience was somewhat puzzled.

And some contestants also participating in the duel fixed their gazes entirely on Jiang Li; sensing the aura around him, they found it merely average, nothing special.

"He's being arrogant again; looks like he hasn't learned his lesson yet!" Julia said softly.

Jiang Li looked at her.

"I mean—that person, relying on having some backing, is truly annoying!"

Feeling he had shown off enough, Arondas directly took his sword and approached the fourth alloy sphere.

This stone sphere was over one meter in diameter and more than three meters tall.

The first stone sphere alone had one billion HP.

And just now, Arondas's ability to cleave the first two—one with one billion HP, the other with five billion—was entirely due to the power unleashed by Arondas combining his own skills; an attack of such power was roughly five or six times his base attack, which in Jiang Li's view was merely commonplace.

Jiang Li's current base attack is 240,000 to 250,000; with Ice Wheel, Iaido Slash, and Fierce Dragon Severing Void Slash, during the previous college entrance exam dungeon, he could unleash a hundredfold attack—dealing millions of damage, yet his attack power at that time was only over ten thousand.

And now it has increased by over twenty times; normally, when unleashing a full-power attack, Jiang Li's damage has broken the hundred million mark, reaching a maximum attack of over two billion.

It's just that Jiang Li now has a serious shortcoming: when he launches an attack, he might not even hit the opponent; even if he employs Celestial Phenomenon Descent, it may not deal effective damage to the opponent.

Previously, in the corridor of the Norland Hotel, facing Arondas's subordinates, he was rendered completely helpless by the opponent's magic immunity.

"So it seems I'm not too weak; at least I can also cleave the first alloy stone sphere!"

"As for the second, I can cause large-scale destruction, but cannot break it open in one strike!"

The third alloy stone sphere has at least ten billion HP.

Even Arondas grew serious.

Holding his breath and focusing his spirit—Arondas let out a mighty shout and directly slashed out a sword strike; the sword qi from that single slash literally cleaved the white clouds in the sky.

"Pfft!"

The attack effect left a half-meter wound on the third alloy stone sphere.

Even so, the entire hall cheered.

The Left Prime Minister on the main platform was also very satisfied.

As for the fourth and fifth stone spheres, Arondas, being self-aware, did not attempt them!

For those were no longer something a contestant like him could break open.

Next, the host loudly called out Julia's name.

Regarding this name, everyone was unfamiliar, thinking she was just an ordinary contestant.

When Julia stepped onto the high platform, some still recognized that this girl was the one the Left Prime Minister had greeted earlier.

Then she must be an extraordinary girl.

Julia kept a smile on her face, watching Arondas approach.

Arondas said, "Sigh—you and I share equally noble status, but so what? I advise you, since you have some beauty, not to follow that young man; our two families are well-matched; although there were some misunderstandings, those are nothing!"

"Forming an alliance through marriage would also be a good choice, wouldn't it? What do you say?"

Arondas wore a smile on his face.

Julia's smile remained unchanged as she said, "Have you forgotten the pain once the scar has healed?"

"How much of the First King of Norland's Holy Medicine does your family have? Be careful that if you run out of medicine in the future, and that thing of yours is gone—tsk tsk—"

Arondas felt his entire body go cold; his steps retreated several paces. Recalling the ruthlessness of the woman before him, he shivered all over.

And Julia directly walked to the fourth stone sphere and said, "Moreover—I want to tell you something!"

"Do you know why I didn't tell you my identity yesterday?"

Arondas widened his eyes, a guess forming in his heart.

"Impossible, this is impossible!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Julia casually picked up her short sword and swung it through the air.

A crescent blade of sword qi slashed out into the air.

The moment the sword qi slashed outward, the Left Prime Minister on the main platform shot to his feet.

"How could this be?"

The sword qi was swift, striking the fourth stone sphere directly; visibly, that sword qi sliced clean through half of the fourth alloy stone sphere!
