Fend previously had little interest in the tournament, and it took Severin’s swift victory over Janik and


    Thorold to pique his attention. At the same time, the transformation in Severin’s aura, along with the


    overwhelming swordwill, finally made Jangar realize something. “That’s why you weren’t afraid of going


    against me! This was your trump card all along!”


    As a swordsman himself, Jangar could keenly sense the stupendous swordwill emanating from


    Severin. It carried a mighty aura, and Jangar felt as if he was surrounded by thousands of sharp


    swords. Aside from his feelings of surprise, Jangar also found himself filled with excitement. He had


    faced numerous difficulties in making good progress, no doubt due to theck of proper swordsmen in


    the whole of Southsky. Even prestigious sects like Grandiuno Sect and Purevoid Sect were bereft of


    any young contemporaries who shared in his ideal.


    In the past, Jangar honed his swordsmanship through continuous battles. It went without saying that


    his excitement would be stirred when he saw someone who possessed swordwill as Severin did.


    Though he initially viewed Severin as a formidablepetitor for the first ce, he had since regarded


    Severin as a worthy adversary in swordsmanship.


    Jangar felt his blood boil as his eyes were aze with fighting spirit. He looked at Severin. “Hahaha,


    wonderful! I shall use you as a stepping stone to refine my sword skills!”


    Severin sneered in response. “Pift! That would have to depend on whether you are worthy of it!”


    Many had said the same thing, but they all ended up being crushed by Severin. Frederick was a perfect


    example of that.


    Jangar cut straight to the chase and surged forward as his body was enveloped in a radiant light. “Take


    this!” he yelled, swinging his sword toward Severin. In an instant, sword energy that extended a


    hundred feet materialized above the ring. The sheer power of the intimidating sword energy caused the


    entire arena’s shield to tremble, as if it was on the verge of copsing. The lightning–like sword light


    was hurled


    directly at Severin with incredible speed.


    Severin did not remain idle and unleashed his spiritual energy. As it infused into his sword, there


    appeared an eye–piercing brilliance akin to the sun’s rays.


    “Rose–Petal Rain!” In an instant, a dazzling burst of petal–like sword energy darted toward Jangar. The


    collision of the two sword energies resulted in a colossal explosion that shattered the arena’s shield.


    The shockwave swept through Nontwo City like a swift wind, causing much damage in its wake.


    Fend and Kiyu were called to take immediate action, and they leaped into the air to erect another


    spiritual shield to protect the spectators from the shockwave.


    Kiyu gritted his teeth and urged Fend, “Please keep the shield in ce, lest the shockwave from


    these


    two guys destroy Nontwo City!”

    Fend nodded and swiftly ascended to the arena to redeploy the shield.


    Jangar and Severin’s battle had resulted in shockwaves that nearly obliterated all structures within a


    two- mile radius. After the shield was reinstated, the twobatants resumed their sh in the arena.


    They hurtled toward each other like arrows, leaving only visible flight trails in their wake. Sonic booms


    were


    produced as they sliced through the air like omnipresent beings.
