Liao En said calmly, "Will your enemy give you a fair chance just because you're weak? The Holy Alliance doesn't embrace such foolish chivalrous spirit, and so won't the enemies you might face." The ice cones flew forward in a fan shape. Though not at high speeds, their impact force was much stronger than before. The square's spaces were, after all, limited. The ice cones had blocked all possibilities for Sky Scar to escape from the front. Meanwhile, Liao En was in action. He opened up his flying skill to the extreme with supersonic speed, and along with the ice cones, he pressed towards Sky Scar.
His internal energy instantly converged to his brain. Sky Scar had discovered not long ago that this energy was exactly his space-related supernatural power. In a crisis, he was more focused than ever before. Liao En's chilling intent to kill was all too real. Sky Scar had no doubt that every single ice cone had the power to end his life.
Sky Scar did not continue to dodge backwards, like Liao En had done. Instead, he charged at the ice cones head-on with sonic speed, looking very much like he was on a suicide mission. However, he charged towards the edge of the ice cones formation, an area of the least concentration of ice cones.
"Break." Sky Scar roared, and his hands unexpectedly emitted a faint silvery glow. Several huge ice cones in front of him were torn apart under the control of his level-three-space-related supernatural power, and without any hesitation, Sky Scar shot right through those ice shards like a fish before the other behind him could catch up.
Liao En had arrived at this point. After all, compared to him, Sky Scar's speed had an insurmountable gap. Blue light burst out of his palm, and his target? Sky Scar's back.
A metallic sphere suddenly appeared in between them, and Liao En's palm landed on it.
Sky Scar was doing his best to hang on, but the gap was still a gap. The blue light passed through the sphere, slightly weakened, it struck Sky Scar.
Sky Scar's body was suddenly chilled, taking advantage of this force, he charged forward even faster. His four-phase-four-grade Cosmic Energy was going at full speed inside his body, with clear streams, defending against the invasion of the water-related supernatural power. Sky Scar did not stop. Despite his headache from using his supernatural power beyond his own strength, he knew he couldn't stop. His body plunged to the ground like a falling object, targeting a corner of the square.
Liao En had clearly misjudged the direction. In just an instant, Sky Scar had reached his destination. However, following him was a heavy kick from Liao En, a kick ingrained with water-related supernatural powers.
A miracle occurred, the originally slower Sky Scar, managed to turn his body in time. Then, without any warning, his body emitted the heavy Armor that had undergone one month of training with him. Enveloped in the heavy Armor and amidst a roar, he punched towards the incoming leg of Liao En.
"Boom—" Ice dust sprayed all over the place, Sky Scar's body was flung back, but thanks to the thick mechanical Armor he was wearing, he didn't fly too far.
Sky Scar never hoped to fight against Liao En. His punch had only one purpose: to combine his Cosmic Energy and all of his Space-borne Energy to halt Liao En's chilling water-related supernatural power. He succeeded. The water-related supernatural power didn't infiltrate the mechanical Armor. The impact was also significant, but he still had the capability to move.
Liao En held his hands in front of his chest, his eyes full of chilling lights. With a great shout, a giant ice blade appeared out of nowhere. Unlike Sky Scar, he couldn't manipulate objects at will, but he had speed. He grabbed the bluish ice blade with both hands and directly charged towards Sky Scar.
"Damn—" Sky Scar cursed loudly. His hands made an odd flip, and two Laser Guns popped out of the mechanical Armor's hidden slots. As one of the best students in the Academy of Zhongting, Sky Scar naturally knew how to use them. He suddenly felt as if his spirits were fused with the Laser Guns. His Space Special Ability activated the weapons' safety mechanisms directly.
"Let's die together then." The current Sky Scar truly looked like a madman.
The frenzied shooting sprayed out from the 15-millimeter barrel. His target was not the attacking ice blade, but a direct, wild shot at Liao En.
Liao En's speed was indeed fast; so fast that he had lost every chance to dodge. He could see his body heading towards the laser light. Just as Sky Scar had judged, by the time the ice blade had cut Sky Scar into two, Liao En, who had no time to defend with supernatural powers, would also have been shot full of holes. The laser guns inside the Mechanical Armor were the real reason Sky Scar wore the armors. That was his only possible attack.
Two ice walls appeared in front of Sky Scar and Liao En at the same time. Liao En's ice blade shattered into ice dust the instant it hit the ice wall in front of Sky Scar. And the laser light emitted by Sky Scar was completely blocked by the other ice wall. That seemingly fragile ice wall, however, harbored a giant defensive power.
"Very well, Sky Scar, you now possess the ability to leave here. I believe you can fulfill our three-year agreement." Madame Oya appears ghostly between them. The timely appearance of the ice wall is obviously her doing. She looks gently at Sky Scar, "Don't blame Liao En, this was my arrangement. He never really intended to kill you, the true meaning of this last lesson lies in your reaction when in danger. You did very well, maintaining a cool head even when at an absolute disadvantage."
Sky Scar grunts in anger, "What kind of lesson is this, he was clearly trying to kill me."
Madame Oya smiles and says, "I was always there, not only were his attacks restrained, even if he truly wanted to kill you, he wouldn't have succeeded." She turned to Liao En, looking strangely at his frustration, "With at least five times the strength difference, yet the outcome was mutual destruction, what are your thoughts?"
"I was careless. I didn't expect him to be able to counterattack." Liao En was genuinely frustrated. Despite the considerable disparity in strength, Sky Scar had cleverly used his own speed against him. The feeling of his strength being useless made him uncomfortable.
"Yes, you were too careless. Sky Scar is indeed very cunning, but your carelessness almost cost you your life. After Sky Scar leaves, you should set a new training plan for yourself." Madame Oya's voice was full of authority.
"Yes, Manipulator."
Madame Oya didn't intend to chastise Liao En further, she said to Sky Scar, "I will be waiting for you in the hall where you first saw me. Pack your things and come find me." With a flash of light, she disappeared, leaving only a faint afterimage in Sky Scar and Liao En's view.
Liao En and Sky Scar glared at each other without speaking for five minutes.
"You really didn't intend to kill me?"
"How did you know there was a Laser Gun inside the Mechanical Armor?"
They both asked the questions in their hearts almost simultaneously.
Liao En raised an eyebrow, "You answer first, this is an order."
Sky Scar snorted, saying, "Don't forget, I am the only graduate of my year from the Academy of Zhongting. Although this Mechanical Armor is very primitive, I have studied it specifically. Besides, it has been on me for a month, I am already familiar with its every structure. The Spatial Special Ability should be the most sensitive among the supernatural powers, right? That's why I knew there was energy in the Laser Gun."
"You sneaky little crazy, seems like I should add 'cunning' before 'crazy'. How did I not see this before," Liao En resentfully said.
Sky Scar smiled triumphantly, "If I exposed everything to others, I wouldn't be far from death. It was really dangerous just now, I was injured by your attack from behind when I broke out of your Ice Cone formation, affected by your ice force. Luckily, I had enough time and speed. Otherwise, without the Mechanical Armor, I truly wouldn't have had a chance."
Liao En said coldly, "You definitely won't have a second chance like this."
Sky Scar smiled faintly, saying, "I return the same words to you. Perhaps the next time we meet, the gap in our levels won't be so great. Alright, I'm leaving. How about giving me this Mechanical Armor? After all, the Laser Gun inside is useful to me."
"No. You can't take anything from here," Liao En stubbornly responded.
"Stingy." Sky Scar looked displeased at him.
