Chapter Thirteen: The Great Duel

  "Everyone, recently due to the earthquake in Sichuan, progress has been a bit slow. But please don't worry, once the earthquake is over, progress will speed up again, hehe. Today's update is here, and I hope those of you with tickets will give me some votes! Also, don't forget to collect it, haha. Tonight we're going to rush the rankings, so please everyone support me!"

  "How did you do it?" O'Hao's face turned somewhat pale, incredulously shouting.

  The famous Dou Qi armor of the mainland was shattered by a single sword? And what shattered it was an ordinary heavy sword?

  It's really hard to believe.

  Liu Feng smiled slightly, "In this world, there is no absolute defense, the best offense is defense."

  Lowering his head, he looked at the inch-by-inch broken fine steel sword in his hand and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

  "After all, it's just an ordinary iron sword. Although it finally broke through that sturdy Dou Qi armor, it itself also faced collapse due to excessive tolerance."

  "It seems I need to find a suitable weapon as soon as possible."

  Ao Hao looked at the young man with black hair in front of him, whose facial features were not particularly handsome, but had a hint of confident smile at the corner of his mouth. He coughed twice and said, "Good kid, you're indeed formidable, to be able to shatter my Dou Qi armor."

  Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he praised: "This suit of Dou Qi armor of mine, I don't know how many strong beastmen have gnashed their teeth and tried to shatter it with a single blow, but none of them succeeded. Hehe, unexpectedly, today... today you actually broke through it."

  Liu Feng smiled lightly and didn't continue the conversation. He walked forward and carefully helped him up.

  "Hehe, don't worry about it, this little injury doesn't bother me much." Ao Hao waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need any help.

  Slowly standing up, Ao Hao stared silently at the two bright suns hanging high in the sky, and was stunned.

  Liu Feng looked at the slightly decadent back shadow, bewildered.

  "Alas, it's all fate, what can we do?"

  After a long while, Ao Hao finally let out a low sigh. "You can go now. I'll help you get through that matter. Your friend should be safe by now."

  Liu Feng's eyebrows rose, and he put his hands behind his back, slowly walking to Ao Hao's side. Looking up at the two suns in the high sky, he smiled and said: "I think I'd like to hear, what do you want me to help you with?"

  Aohuo's head turned around, with some delight: "You are willing to help me?"

  "Tell me, if it's within my power and not too excessive, considering you accompanied me in a fight, I suppose I won't refuse." Liu Feng shrugged.

  Ao Hao fell silent, as if sorting out his thoughts. After a long time, he sighed faintly.

  "You should know, humanity's archenemy?"

  "Beastman?" Liu Feng's eyebrows rose in surprise, his head slightly tilted to one side.

  Ao Hao nodded solemnly and said, "The beastmen have many tribes, strong reproductive power, but because the northern land is barren and does not produce much grain, they have always coveted human fertile land."

  "Every three years, they would launch a war, and before each war, they would hold a grand duel with us."

  At this point, Ao Hao's tone paused for a moment, and Liu Feng understood that the real show was about to begin.

  "And this duel, if we win, can severely crush the morale of the beastmen and greatly boost our own morale. But if we lose, the Beastman Empire will take advantage of their high morale to launch a northern campaign and declare war on the Starblue Empire."

  "Where did you people who participated in the duel come from? Did you win or lose last time?" Liu Feng asked with his hands crossed.

  Ao Hao was stunned by these two questions, and bitterly smiled: "Last time? Of course I lost, otherwise this time I would not be so hard to find reinforcements everywhere. And the participants in the duel are all selected from the four major academies of humanity."

  "Oh." Liu Feng's eyebrows rose, "Four Academies"? Doesn't that include Xinglan Academy as well.

  "Since everyone here is an elite from the four universities, how can we lose? Are you all just a bunch of trash?" Liu Feng sneered with a curved corner of his mouth.

  "Hey, you think the Beastman Empire is too easy to deal with? The team sent by the Four Academies last time wasn't weak either. One 8th rank, four 7th ranks, and seven 6th ranks. This lineup shouldn't be underestimated." Ao Hao explained.

  "What... was the Beastman Empire's lineup last time?" Liu Feng nodded and asked.

  "There are two 9th-level Star Realm experts, two 8th-level, four 7th-level, and six 6th-level." Ao Hao said with a somewhat heavy tone.

  Liu Feng was somewhat surprised that Xing Chen had sent out two strong men? The rest were actually the same as the elite members of the four major academies.

  "Are beastmen this talented?"

  "Hehe, although beastmen are generally not as intelligent as humans, they have a huge population of several billion. Even if a Starry Sky Genius appears only once in every million people, they would still have dozens of them." Ao Hao's face was filled with bitter smiles.

  "En, makes sense." Liu Feng smiled and nodded his chin, "Then you made a move last time?"

  "Well, I made a move, but it was blocked by those two beastmen. " As he said this, Ao Hao's face turned somewhat pale, and the anger in his eyes couldn't be concealed.

  He must have suffered a great deal at the hands of those two powerful Star Lords.

  "If it were a singles match, I would have absolute confidence in defeating them. However, those two bastards are a pair of twin brothers, born with a telepathic connection, their coordination is extremely tacit, and their combined attack power has increased by more than double."

  "My last Dou Qi armor was shattered by their combined efforts." Ao Hao let out a somewhat depressed sigh.

  Liu Feng's heart skipped a beat.

  "Haha, twin brothers? Who's more in sync, me and my mirror image? I really want to try it out."

  "What about this time? How is the team sent by the four colleges?" Liu Feng asked with a smile after a moment's thought.

  "Hehe, this time is better than last time." O'Hao smiled with some relief when talking about the four university teams.

  "Eight trigrams with four names, seven stars with eight names."

  "Isn't it nine levels?" Liu Feng said with a slanted gaze.

  Just as he was feeling proud, Ao Hao almost choked to death on this sentence. In a rage, he said: "Do you still think that the strong among the stars are just weeds by the roadside, a handful of which can be grabbed at will?"

  Liu Feng hehe'd and shrugged his shoulders, "So this time, it's just you and me, two 9th ranks, four 8th ranks, eight 7th ranks?"

  Ao Hao nodded.

  "Do you know this time, the Beastman Empire's team?" Liu Feng asked with his arms crossed.

  "What do you take me for? This is a secret even in the Beastman Empire, how could I possibly know about it?" Ao Hao rolled his eyes at Liu Feng, very dissatisfied that he was being treated like an all-knowing person.

  "Heh heh."

  "Alright, I've agreed to it. Such a great thing, I'm also very interested." Liu Feng smiled lightly and patted Ao Hao's shoulder.

  "Haha." With Liu Feng's consent, Ao Hao excitedly opened his mouth wide and also heavily patted Liu Feng's shoulder. "Good brother, thanks a lot."

  Everyone, recently due to the earthquake in Sichuan, the potato has been a bit slow. But please don't worry, once the earthquake is over, the potato will speed up again, hehe. Today's update is here, and I hope those of you with tickets will give the potato a vote. Also, don't forget to collect it, haha.
