Hiss hiss hiss hiss…

The magic beast had charged forward countless times, yet the result was undoubtedly the same, a snubbed nose. He was always repelled by what seemed like a chaotic but stable counterattack, and of course, during this period, Ophelia never launched an offensive because she was contemplating her current state. She realized that chaotic striking was not as simple as it appeared on the surface; her former self must have overlooked something…

Watching the two combatants exchange blows without a clear winner, the host once again posed the question to Grand, "Colonel, the moves that Ophelia is using now are not found in our records. Could you enlighten us, and who has the advantage between the two?"

Grand's brow furrowed slightly, "This fighting style is very strange; I have never seen it before."

Even Grand, a veteran of the White Cloaks, had not seen it, and his explosive response immediately set the audience abuzz. Could it be a new fighting style?

In response to the host's question, Grand fell into brief contemplation and expressed that he was not sure whether it was a new fighting style, but he did know something. When Ophelia was still in the Red Cloak phase, she had sparred with Soaring Sword Dragon, and it seemed she used this same move. Even the Soaring Sword Dragon had a hard time dealing with her in a short span.

The audience was instantly in an uproar, for the Sword Dragon was a top-level warrior, and Ophelia was just at the Red Cloak stage at that time. The gap between them was enormous, yet even so, Sword Dragon was unable to defeat her quickly. This meant that it was not simply a matter of strength but the power of skill and technique.

At the same time, Grand also mentioned that the move seemed casual, but it contained a subtle hint of using the opponent's force against them, and at times she would completely forego defense, suggesting a return to the basics. It could be described as a move that transcended all after reaching enlightenment.

Everyone listened, not entirely comprehending, but since Grand said so, there must be a basis for it.

Indeed, Feng Yi was all too familiar with Ophelia's style of attack; it was she who had sought him out for a challenge and had been guided by him to utilize it. To put it plainly, it was an unrestrained counter-control, immune to any standard tactic. Clearly, Ophelia was performing even better than he had, showing that she had a certain capability for defensive control unlike him, who only remembered to attack. Truly, each generation surpasses the previous one. If Ophelia could really reach the top level, her strength would certainly be exceptional.

But oftentimes, it is very difficult for White Cloaks to ascend further. It is said that Grand has always been in the late White Cloak stage and whether he reached the peak has never been disclosed by the official channels. But from his tone, it seemed he already had, or perhaps was even stronger, and simply saw no need to show off.

By now, the monster Mecha's onslaught had lost its sharpness of old, yet Ophelia was not in the least disordered, not even breathing hard. Her inner state was incredibly calm, and at that moment, she seemed to have realized the true meaning of chaotic striking, which was not about suppressing the opponent or being suppressed by the opponent but a realm of neither attack nor defense. In that instant, or within a certain range, she felt that no matter who the opponent was, they would not be able to touch her once they entered her domain.

After 5 minutes of intense battle, Ophelia finally launched her first counterattack against Hugo. Yes, she had been defending all along, but Hugo's attack rate had been gradually decreasing.

The corner of the screen showed that Hugo's physical values had already decreased from their initial level, while Ophelia's had only gone down a small amount. She couldn't see it, but she could feel the pressure from her opponent weakening.

Under Ophelia's continuous offense, the Mecha retreated explosively. The battle finally concluded with one pointed strike, the victor being Ophelia…

The victor did not cheer, nor did the loser seem despondent. It was definitely a defeat that made Hugo accept defeat sincerely, but what he couldn't understand was the strange, uncomfortable feeling of constraint – what sort of tactic was it?

Ophelia did not hide anything and openly stated that she could not fully explain it either, but she had once used this move against Soaring Sword Dragon. To use a modern catchphrase, "She's a woman used to turning the tables."

The battle came to a close with smiles. It could be said that the following opponents, even though ranked as Level S by the game review, posed little threat to Ophelia.

Elsewhere, in another tournament zone, an ID with merely a Level D ranking also grabbed countless onlookers' attention. His ID name was Desert Storm, and he rarely took action; but when he did, it was almost always a one-shot defeat.

Especially worth mentioning, after several battles, based on his performance, he had leaped two levels from Level D and was evaluated by the system as a Level B player. What's terrifying is that Level B players can now be matched against Level S players.

He had just been matched, and though it was 4 Level B players against 1 Level S player, that player was a live-streaming god with millions of viewers watching his channel amidst a frenzy of comments speculating how long it would take to defeat the opponent. To the shock of all, the god fell slowly to the ground in a stream of comments before even a single round had concluded…

Afterward, the live-streaming god wasn't very dejected and confidently wagered that the individual was at least an ace-level combatant, if not a top-level warrior because the speed he demonstrated was only around an average of 300 actions per minute. His own efficiency of 500 couldn't directly clash with that, indicating that the speed burst was a true reflection of his skills with no superfluous actions. Such a terrifying opponent was definitely worth looking forward to.
