Chapter 284: Chapter 170: Still Need to Filter (Two-in-One Big Chapter)_2

Since he didn't know Lord Reine was deliberately holding back, Salem, on the other hand, was becoming more confident as the fight progressed.

If Salem had been somewhat cautious, or even slightly restrained at the start of the battle, about a minute into it, he felt he had a rough understanding of Reine's strength.

Was Reine's strength formidable?

Yes, but not as formidable as Evelyn had described.

Was he going easy on him?

Impossible!

Was he hiding a trick up his sleeve?

After observing Reine closely for a while, Salem noticed Reine's composed expression and inwardly nodded, thinking Reine must have some secret techniques yet to be used.

But wasn't he the same?

Thus, after a heavy clashing of shields with a "boom," both stepped back several meters and stood their ground.

Salem declared with high spirits, "Lord Reine, it feels great to meet one's match! Please allow me to fight freely. I will use Transcendent properties and secret techniques in the subsequent battle."
