Chapter 1949: Warrior Savant

"Perhaps we should give Jin two times more enemies otherwise this would not be any more entertaining." JODE Chancellor Ma Ge said and Grand Headmistress Yuan chuckled as it was pretty obvious that fighting one to one might be interesting at the start. But that excitement will die down when they already know the power level of the existing challenger.

"I do not think that Jin minds about it. He was probably keeping his strength restrained from the looks of it." Claire added as she saw the battle unfolded. Even her urge to fight was telling her to give it a try but at the same time, fear had held her back. The very same fear that all the Demon Exorcist Commandos have when they see Jin and the Warrior Variant fight against each other.

They felt powerless when they saw the strength that those two 'demon exorcists' portrayed and it made them feel like whatever they had trained for was for naught. The reserved Demon Exorcist Commandos even felt that if they showed this fight to their top stars within their own forces, they too would not dare to challenge Jin or the Warrior Variant.

But as much as this gave a spectacular match to the audience, it was merely the beginning. With that many Demon Exorcist Commandos that were supposed to fight something similar to a quick competition showcase, it would indeed be a pity for the high note to end it right here right now. Therefore, Grand Headmistress Yuan had decided to play along with JODE Chancellor Ma Ge's suggestion.

To put not just one but multiple variants at the same time.

However, even Grandma Yuan knew how to create excitement and asked the System to present one Variant for now. Only when Jin was in the heat of battle, she throw in the second one. This was to simulate situations where the Banned Emperor Terrorists were able to reinforce their flanks to kill the Demon Exorcist that they were pitting against.

But to their…unexpected reaction, the next person that came in had the very same equipment as the previous one. From the weapon to his attire, it looked like they had called out the same person. Yet Jin could already feel that based on his magical level, it was not exactly the person that he had fought previously.

Of course, the System could have easily brought the person back since this was the dimensional instance. The only difference was that monsters when resurrected within the dungeon instance to fight would experience some sort of fatigue. That was the same as the cultivators who were resting in the Luxury Recovery Instance.

They could go into their desired dungeon instance once more but if they do not rest, their bodies would not be able to handle the strain that their body accumulates upon 'reconstructing' within the dimensional instance.

However, the Warrior Variant was different. He was partially robotic although they were not pure robots as compared to the Mechanoids who were fully made out of parts and chi generators. The Variant was more organic in nature when it came to parts. Surely, he could be retrofitted with parts but there was no better way to do it than to allow his body to grow back those organs or body parts themselves.

Still, if he were to be immediately resurrected and come out to fight with Jin, the amount of fatigue that he accumulates would be vastly different than a fully organic creature, allowing him to go at least two to three rounds without rest.

"Looks like you have defeated my pupil." The 'Demon Exorcist' holding the very same model of axe said.

"Ah, so you are the newly promoted Savant?" Jin said through the System Channel while he continued to keep quiet in real life when the rows of audience were looking at him intently for his answer.

"Yes, my master. There are quite a few promoted Savants that are dying to meet you. Ever since the defeat we had in the Dungeon World, the Variants had always been looking forward to working hard enough so that we could be promoted to Savants." The Warrior's outer appearance looked stoic despite his pleasant composition through the System Channel.

"All of the newly promoted Savants are part of the combat exhibition showcase?" The two of them continued to stare at each other as they started to walk sideways. With their masks on, the silence they produced was awfully deafening.

"Yes, my master. They were initially here to showcase some of their talent to the audience. But it looks like they might be able to present their skills to you personally." The Warrior Savant was the first to remove the dirtied bandages from his axe and it remained as bloody as the previous competitor.

"Wait, if you are already the Warrior Savant, then that Warrior Variant…?"

"Ah. He is really my pupil. As the Warrior title had been taken by me for the Savants, he should be going into a subclass of Warrior Classes. Last I heard, he might try to take the Axe Arcanist." The Warrior Savant said as he paced himself even slower when Jin decided to unsheathe his sword. This time he was even more serious as two blades were out instead.

Bam and Boo had been drawn with Bam at the front, pointing towards the enemy while Boo was partially hidden behind Jin.

"Oh yeah, I saw those Demon Wolves. Now I get what you mean when you said he wants to be an Axe Arcanist. Looks like there would be more Savants incoming." Jin said with a smile in the System Channel but the audience took that expression differently. It made him look like he was going to enjoy this fight. While that was not untrue, it was not meant that way.

"Indeed, my lordship. Lord Kraft had put in a lot of effort attacking the 'Money' Tower from the Church of the Afterlife. He took in a lot of disciples and revamped them into Variants.

Unlike the first batch of Savants, it seemed like our seniors had proven themselves to be of a high standard that Lord Kraft did not want to sully the name of Savants within your army." The Warrior Savant said as he too started to pour energy into his axe as well but Jin could sense that the amount of energy that he was inserting was way WAY more than his supposed pupil.

At that point, the number of barriers that the System had placed subsequently increased. That was a shining light for a moment before it turned transparent for the audience to watch without much distraction or difficulty.

However, based on the barriers itself, the audience could already sense that this was going to be a fight that was worth buying the popcorn and other snacks which the Red Pandas were going round selling.

They took the chance of this combat exhibition showcase to earn more money and the audience would have their mouth busy to not talk and watch the fight. Unknowingly, Jin and the Warrior Savant was actually buying time before the duel start.

But just as the tension was running high within the group, the Emcee just remembered that the Demon Exorcist who won can leave the stage and allow the next person to enter.

Just by saying that one sentence, the entire audience within the stadium erupt with jeering at the emcee for even suggesting that. It was as if he was the wet blanket that the audience did not needed. However, it was also at that moment that most of the audience missed out the very first clash that Jin and the Warrior Savant had done.

The explosion was respectable to the sense that the front rows were having chills from the force of impact and the blinding lights before the smoke engulfed the entire arena. The remains of the ground spike that Jin had previously had been levelled into nothingness but more importantly, he was defending from the double blade axe that the Warrior Savant was using.

At that point, the Warrior Savant showed the 'cultivation' of a bear as he swung his left hand to bash into Jin's head.

"Heh! Looks like you had been watching the combat exhibition showcase as well!" Jin yelled out loud as he removed himself from the difficult position that he was in by letting go of his swords and move to the right. At that moment, he gave a quick roundhouse kick which the Warrior Savant responded by twirling his body and used the double blade axe to block.

But what he did not know was that the swords Jin let go were being hung by a thin thread of chi that he subsequently hold and retracted. Jin blocked the Axe's attack once more and the impact from the blow could be felt once more. Let's not mention the explosive power that cause the entire stadium to shake as well.

This was undoubtedly a brand new level of fight that Jin had to handle and withholding too much of his strength was not a wise choice at all.
