Wang Luo looked over,
It was Liu Zhuo and Chen Zhou!
Both possessed S-class talent, with Liu Zhuo having a body reinforcement ability and Chen Zhou an earth-element ability!
At this moment, the two were engaged in a fierce exchange.
Liu Zhuo's body was incredibly strong, his attacks relying solely on his bare fists. Yet, his speed was so astonishing that many were left dizzy.
"He must have mastered an augmented leg technique!"
Wang Luo murmured.
It bore a striking resemblance to his own Gale God Legs, both designed to enhance speed!
However, Chen Zhou was no weaker opponent.
His fists were encased in a layer of yellowish-brown light, greatly bolstering their defensive capabilities!
Remarkably,
He was now directly countering the body-reinforcement ability of Liu Zhuo with his fists and holding his own!
"Wang Luo, look, the soil beneath Liu Zhuo's feet seems to be moving with his steps!"
Zhao Qingxuan pointed to the ground.
The earth there appeared to transform into a small snake, following Liu Zhuo's movements!
Wang Luo exclaimed in surprise, "This Chen Zhou is quite impressive!"
"Why?"
Zhao Qingxuan inquired, puzzled.
"The fact that the soil beneath Liu Zhuo's feet is moving means Chen Zhou is controlling it with his ability, attempting to impede Liu Zhuo's speed!"
"Unfortunately, his current level is too low for this technique to pose a significant threat. When his level rises, he'll likely be able to alter the terrain with a wave of his hand!"
He looked at Chen Zhou with a hint of astonishment.
His only prior impression of the man was tricking him into swallowing an energy crystal and then having him squat on the ground, gagging for a long time!
He was usually quite low-key!
However, during the last zombie horde, he had stood on the front lines alongside other S-class awakeners!
"That strong?"
Zhao Qingxuan was surprised. "But I always thought earth-element abilities were rather ordinary!"
"They seem to have strong defense, but surely not stronger than body-reinforcement abilities!"
Zhao Qingxuan felt that water and earth element abilities were the least remarkable among all abilities.
Wang Luo, however, shook his head. "It's not as simple as you think! Every ability has its unique merits!"
"There's an extremely potent earth-element technique called 'Earth Guardian.' Once mastered, an awakened individual standing on the earth can receive an endless flow of energy!"
"So... do you understand what that implies?"
"Hiss! Does that mean the opponent's energy is inexhaustible?"
"Yes."
Zhao Qingxuan's eyes widened.
Was the earth element that powerful?
"Every ability has its unique aspects. Like your darkness-element ability, which enhances your power at night. I've personally experienced this!"
"You are more formidable at night than during the day!"
"You... why are you suddenly bringing up such irrelevant matters?"
Zhao Qingxuan reprimanded softly.
"Ahem... let's stick to the topic!"
"Water-element abilities might also seem ordinary, but once near a water source, you'll find their combat power significantly increases!"
"Moreover, powerful water-element awakeners can even trigger tsunamis dozens or hundreds of meters high. Do you still think water element abilities are weak then?"
"Therefore, every ability has its unique advantages."
"As long as the awakened ability's grade and the individual's level are high enough, and the mastered techniques are of a high caliber, the power of any ability should not be underestimated!"
Wang Luo explained meticulously to Zhao Qingxuan,
To prevent her from being careless and suffering losses in the future!
Meanwhile, the battle on the arena had intensified to a fever pitch.
In the crowd,
Liu Zhuo's sister, Liu Meng, was cheering her brother on.
Many people watched the fight with excitement; both ordinary individuals and awakeners shouted and cheered for their idols.
Liu Zhuo's reinforced fists clashed repeatedly with Chen Zhou's earth-yellow energy-infused fists, emitting sounds like firecrackers. In the end, Liu Zhuo gained a slight advantage and won the match!
"Once we have some spare space in the future, we can build a stadium specifically for awakeners to compete!"
Zhao Qingxuan said excitedly.
She already had a simple plan for the future city in her mind.
After the ground and wind, and then fire catastrophes, the abandoned, uninhabited buildings would collapse on a large scale, creating ample open space.
However, these things would take time to realize.
The immediate priority was to stockpile resources and talent!
As soon as the previous match concluded, another pair of combatants stepped onto the arena.
At this moment, Yang Shu, who was hosting the competition, also noticed the two. She approached from behind the crowd, a captivating smile gracing her lips.
"Shushu, can you stop smiling so seductively? Do you know that every time Wang Luo sees you, he loses control? If you smile any more, he'll probably stand up on the spot!"
"His body can't handle our 'trouble' right now!"
Zhao Qingxuan chuckled.
"What are you talking about! Who says I can't handle your 'trouble'? My body has almost recovered now!"
Wang Luo retorted defensively.
Although he still felt a bit weak, he was largely fine.
"That won't do. We must wait until your body has fully recovered before discussing anything else!"
Yang Shu shook her head.
The recovery phase required proper care to avoid any future complications.
Wang Luo had overexerted himself far too severely at the time.
The man who was once so strong and capable of making them sing his praises had become a mere skeleton, looking like an old man on the verge of death.
Therefore,
During his recovery period, neither Zhao Qingxuan nor Yang Shu dared to make any "unusual moves"!
"Neigh~~~"
Suddenly,
Horse King galloped back from outside, approaching Wang Luo with an excited whinny!
His expression was filled with anxiety.
"What's wrong?"
Wang Luo gently stroked Horse King's head.
Since being upgraded to Bronze rank, Horse King's mane had become even softer and smoother!
Horse King nudged Wang Luo with its mouth, then pointed to its back!
"No, Wang Luo's body hasn't recovered yet!"
Yang Shu and Zhao Qingxuan refused in unison.
Horse King wanted to drag Wang Luo off for another wild adventure!
"It's fine, my body has almost recovered. As long as I don't use the Divine Dragon Transformation again, it'll be alright!"
Wang Luo stated earnestly.
Horse King's expression clearly indicated it had discovered something, and it was quite urgent!
"Besides, aren't we going with Horse King?"
"We can't fight, but can't we run?"
Horse King's current speed was so great that even wind-element awakeners couldn't catch up to it!
"Alright! Then be careful!"
Yang Shu relented with a sigh.
"Horse King, if anything happens to Wang Luo, I'll castrate you!"
Zhao Qingxuan whispered into Horse King's ear.
The threat made Horse King shiver.
It quickly shook its head, assuring them that absolutely no harm would come to Wang Luo!
"Let's go!"
Wang Luo mounted Horse King and patted its neck.
With a "whoosh,"
Horse King rapidly darted out of the villa district!
Like the wind,
Horse King weaved through the streets, and in a short while, a dense swarm of zombies trailed behind them.
However, Horse King eventually outdistanced them by a wide margin.
Wang Luo noticed,
That Horse King seemed to be heading towards the outskirts, specifically towards the Luo River near Anluo City.
Could there be something at the Luo River?
