Blood Assimilation

58 Not Holding Back

“That was only because they did not get the chance to unleash their techniques and power before ultimately getting defeated by you.” Li Weisheng explained to Randy after hearing his question about why the people he faced were too weak

“Ah, so that’s why...” Randy muttered in understanding.

A moment later, he then said in indifference: “But even still, that was not my fault. All I did was defeat them before they could use their techniques, it was their own faults for not being able to use their techniques in time since in an actual combat that will only mean certain death.”

“This one also agrees with that, and that was also the reason why this one’s teacher wanted this one to fight you in order to test this one’s sword techniques on someone with your level of strength and hopefully defeat you.” Li Weisheng agreed with his statement before saying to him.

Hearing this, Randy was surprised and could not help but ask in an intrigued voice: “Since you are so confident in defeating me, that means that your ranking is very high in the virtual duel system, and your strength is also quite considerable, and with that in mind, I would like to ask, how strong are you right now?”

After hearing his question, Li Weisheng pondered for a bit and then replied: “This one’s strength should more or less be the same level as you.”

“No, I meant the actual realm of your cultivation, as you may have already observed, my primary energy is magical energy, and since you seemed to be a cultivator, you should be cultivating the spiritual energy... In any case, I just wanted to know your realm of cultivation for reference.”

“Oh, so that was your reason, in that case, then this one does not mind telling you that he is currently in the Spirit Grandmaster Realm which should be equivalent to a fourth circle magician or a fourth rank magical warrior.” Li Weisheng said to him after hearing his reason for his earlier question.

After hearing his answer, Randy immediately pondered his words for a bit and then muttered: “I see... so we have the same level of strength somewhat, however...”

.....

He sighed ignoring this matter and then said: “Shall we begin then, but I’ll have you know that I don’t like being treated like a weakl-”

Wizz–

Drip!

Before Randy could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his face.

At some unknown time, the other party had already unleashed their attack, injuring him on his face.

Randy wiped the blood on his cheek and then proceeded to look at it with cautious but fearful expression.

‘Shit! What did he do just now? What was that flash of light? It was so fast that I couldn’t react in time.’

Randy screamed inwardly as he stared at the other party’s nonchalant appearance with a sense of trepidation.

This was the first person amongst the contenders to make him feel this unprecedented sense of fear. ????????n????e????d. co????

Seeing his confused expression, Li Weisheng explained to him: “That was this one’s sword qi... due to this one’s fortune, this one had already attained a small achievement in the qi of the sword, so this one is much stronger than most people with the same level of strength as him.”

And then he smiled warmly and then continued: “Which is why you should attack first; this one was not looking down on you when this one suggested that you should attack first. As this one had already said before, this one had already seen your method of combat and so, to make this duel fair, you should attack first before this one attacks.”

For some reason, Randy suddenly broke into cold sweat when he heard his explanation just now.

‘Hey, that was really dangerous, that cold but sharp light just now seemed to cut the air itself, and you are telling me that was only a sword qi? Just what kind of monster am I facing this time? I thought that was his innate ability or something, but it turns out it was only his sword attainment. Is it even normal for someone at his level of strength to already attained this level of swordsmanship?’

Randy silently thought with a disbelief expression.

At this moment, Randy suddenly realized something after thinking for a bit, and then his expression immediately turned serious.

‘If I want to defeat this sword foo- no, this Li Weisheng, I have to use all my abilities efficiently and effectively without holding anything back like I did with the other players that came after I initiated my challenge. This guy seemed to be on another level compared to them with just that executed sword qi attack just now. So I will use my first attack to test him by not holding back and then I will see how he reacts to it before thinking of the next course of action.’

With that thought in mind, Randy then opened his mouth before speaking in a solemn tone: “Since you are so insistent about this matter, then I will not be humble anymore and attack you first.”

“Hm, that is how it should be.” Li Weisheng was also pleased that he finally accepted his suggestion.

Boom!

After Li Weisheng finished his statement, all of sudden, Randy kicked the ground as he fully executed his Gale Riding skill.

With his control over the surrounding wind currents, he immediately vanished from his position.

And then a moment later, he was suddenly in front of Li Weisheng and without hesitation, he threw his magical energy infused fist at him without holding anything back at that moment.

A moment later...

“Bang!!”

A loud sound of impact resounded after the clash, causing invisible ripples to appear in the air.

However, despite this, Li Weisheng seemed to have not been moved even a single step backwards by the impact of Randy’s technique, as he calmly stood in the same position with his sword brandished in front of himself, seemingly having used it to block Randy’s attack.

Randy on the other hand, had been pushed backwards a few steps despite being the one to initiate the attack.

At this point, Li Weisheng suddenly spoke in admiration: “Hmm... what an interesting fist technique. So it was just like this one had thought. To think this fist technique sends an invisible ripple-like shockwave into the body through the pores, thus causing internal damage to the opponent.”
