Chapter 208 – Thunderfire! (2)

“Of course I understand.” Becky waved his hand, then asked curiously, “You seem to always speak up for him?”

Irene coughed lightly, “No, I’m telling the truth.”

Becky raised his eyebrows and looked closely at Jace’s strong body, masculine features, and determined face. He suddenly understood.

Has she taken a fancy to Jace?”

For a moment, Becky felt a surge of jealousy.

Irene was both his guard and his cousin from the same family. He had watched her grow up. Because of her outstanding talent, Irene had been strictly trained since she was young and nurtured into a warrior of the Royal Family.

As Irene grew stronger step by step and became an existence similar to a “Royal Guardian,” she lost her private life. She had a huge responsibility and still did not have a partner until now.

Only the strong would pair up with the strong. Keriber was the only one of the same level, and he was a short old man. Irene looked down on him. As for the others, they could not withstand her strong physique and thus kept a respectful distance from her.

A person’s desires had to be vented eventually. It was not a good thing to keep holding it in. Now that a handsome, muscular, and virile Jace had appeared, Becky suddenly felt that it was normal for Irene to have thoughts.

“This Imperial Hunter’s strength, potential, and loyalty are all quite outstanding. If something happens between him and Irene, it might not be a bad thing. He might be able to become half a member of the royal family…” Becky’s thoughts drifted away.

Bill sat at the side and smiled as he watched. His eyes were like cameras, recording the entire conversation between the two of them.

Zhou Jing and Keriber did not know the subtle changes in the stands. At this moment, they were facing each other in the arena.

“Come, let me see what’s so special about the new potion.”

Keriber removed the hexagonal spiked war hammer from his back and rolled his shoulders. He waved for Jason to attack first.

He was used to letting others attack first. As a Fifth Enhancement, he had to have this sort of “noblesse oblige.”

If he were to attack first, his opponent would only get smashed with the suppression of Physical Fitness from his five enhancements. It would be difficult for him to display his strength. Keriber had never minded giving the young man room to display his strength.

Seeing that Zhou Jing did not hesitate and directly drew his two blades, Keriber smiled and thought to himself.

“You have to restrain your strength when you fight later. Don’t be too excited. If you don’t control your strength well, you’ll injure Jace…”

However, the moment he had this thought, Zhou Jing suddenly disappeared from his peripheral vision.

A strong sense of danger suddenly surged in his heart.

Keriber’s expression changed as he suddenly blocked his side with his hammer. In the next moment, there was a buzzing sound of metal rubbing against each other.

Clang! Clang!

Zhou Jing seemed to have disappeared into thin air and suddenly appeared beside Keriber like a ghost.

The two blades slashed out like lightning, hitting the handle of the hammer. The heavy force made Keriber’s wrist tremble.

“What speed!”

Keriber’s heart skipped a beat. He barely saw Zhou Jing rushing over.

This was the first time he had seen a hunter with such tremendous speed!

He suppressed the surprise in his heart and turned the handle of the hammer. He wanted to use the head of the hammer to block the two blades and then use a shoulder tackle to send Zhou Jing flying.

However, just as he moved, Zhou Jing’s figure suddenly disappeared into the distance. In the blink of an eye, he had pulled away more than ten meters. He was like a bolt of lightning that left only a faint electric mark on his retina.

Before Keriber could react, Zhou Jing turned around and rushed back.

With the help of the momentum generated by covering the distance, the high-speed blade slashed down. The strong wind pressure hit his face like two heavy lightning bolts.

Alarm bells continuously rang in Keriber’s head as he raised his hammer to meet it.

Dang!

It was as if a lightning bolt had struck a huge bell!

A huge force erupted, and Keriber’s feet sank into the ground, digging out a trench that was several meters long.

The two blades pressed against the handle of the hammer, and the two of them wrestled face to face. “What?!”

Irene and the many hunters watching the battle in the stands suddenly widened their eyes and subconsciously leaned forward.

The Chief Hunter, who had undergone five enhancements, was forced back?!

Little did they know, Keriber was even more shocked than them.

Keriber suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhou Jing in shock.

“Something’s wrong! His physical abilities aren’t that far from mine!

“He might even be stronger!”

“And that speed… I couldn’t even react to it. He even matches me in strength… These aren’t the abilities of a fourth enhancement!

The moment his thoughts sparked, Keriber immediately dispelled the thought of holding back… He suddenly realized that if he did not use all his strength, he might not be able to withstand Jace!

“Hooyah!”

Keriber let out a low roar, and his muscles tensed as he forcefully shook off Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing did not continue to compete in brute strength. He simply retracted his two blades and smoothly pulled away.

After backing up more than ten meters away, he did not rush forward immediately. He waved his blades as he looked at Keriber, who looked like he was facing a great enemy and chuckled.

“How is it? Have you warmed up?”

“… I underestimated you. Again!”

Keriber’s eyes burned with fighting spirit.

If he had still had the attitude of guiding his juniors just now, he now had the intention of truly treating Zhou Jing as a valuable opponent. He only wanted to fight him.

The corners of Zhou Jing’s mouth curled up. He took a step forward, and his speed erupted, causing the ground to crack!

He seemed to have transformed into a bolt of lightning that flew back and forth in the field, brushing past Keriber time and time again, producing sparks from the collision of weapons.

The sound of metal clashing against each other was heard across the field.

Zhou Jing did not collide with him head-on at all, fully displaying his advantage in speed.

Keriber could not keep up with Zhou Jing. He could only guard his original spot. For a moment, he was helpless and could only passively receive Zhou Jing’s high-speed double blades time and again.
