Chapter 686 Part 2: White Smoke vs Brown layer
From MC's perspective:
Block:
While everyone is interestingly watching the duel. McCarthy made the appearance. But he is wearing a full face mask to hide his swollen cheeks.
After seeing him everyone was surprised. Especially the Supreme Elder Marlene, who was worried about his disappearance earlier.
Now seeing him coming back. She feels something is wrong for sure. But she can't pinpoint what's exactly gone wrong.
Supreme Elder McCarthy slowly walked to the Silver Cloud side and sat on his seat quietly. Dean Cooper was surprised. He doesn't know why the Supreme Elder is wearing a mask.
He thinks it might be related to his scheme. So he didn't ask. Then he set his gaze on the Viper Academy. They have just started targeting Viper Academy.
He thinks their name might come in the next match-up.
On the duel platform,
Both the warriors are confronting each other. But they are not engaging in close combat. The Eclipse Academy warrior is wary of the short blue dagger.
On the other hand, the White Palace Warrior is trying hard to influence the opponent through white smoke. But the opponent's special technique is working fine.
One of them has to come up with a solution to break the ice.
Finally, the female warrior doesn't want to waste the essence anymore. She quickly rushed out to attack with her dagger.
Seeing that the eclipse academy warrior released several rocks to block her. However, the opponent was fast because of the environment inside the platform.
The platform has become like an ice floor. Which made it easier for her to evade all those techniques in time. The Eclipse Academy warrior notices this situation.
Swish!
The next second, he releases a different technique. The platform surrounding him is covered with small boulders on all sides. Which will hinder her fast movement now.
The White Palace Warrior pauses her movement before leaping. She has already gotten closer. Because of the leap, she was one step away from the opponent.
Seeing that the opponent is trying to release another technique. She uses her dagger to cut his brown skin. The brown skin is protecting him from the white smoke.
If it's gone, then it will become easier for her to win the duel.
The Eclipse Academy Warrior was caught off guard. The opponent's flexibility and smart thinking surprised him. Before he could release another earth technique.
Cut!
A small cut was made by the female warrior. The dagger blade easily cuts through the skin surface. Anyone can see a small red line appear on his forearm.
But this was enough for the white smoke to enter.
Tap!
The Female warrior retreated a few steps backward.
Quiet!
The audience has been silent for some time. As they can only see a few clear scenes. The whole platform was covered in the white smoke.
But this was not the problem for Elite Warriors and above. They know that an interesting confrontation is happening between the 2 warriors.
Jonathan was also among them. He is also appreciating the white smoke and the special techniques. In his opinion, this level of technique can be only brought by people from inner posts.
"Such a special method, no wonder these academies can sustain for so long as a top 6 academy," Jonathan said in his heart.
Before he had thought that the year-end conference was a waste of time. He still believes it. But looking at these inheritance powers and special techniques.
He thinks it will be a learning experience for Zack Lockwood. If he comes to the inner post, he won't be shocked by sudden exposure to even more powerful techniques.
On the platform,
The Eclipse Academy Warrior's expression turned grave. He is feeling dizzy. His body movements have become sloppy as time passes.
Seeing that the White Palace Warrior sighed in relief. She was waiting exactly for this movement. As the opponent's movements got slower. It won't be long before he gets paralyzed.
The opponent is experiencing the power of white smoke for the first time. Only those warriors who have experienced it know how to get out in time.
But the Eclipse Warrior doesn't have a clue. The brown power protecting his body starts to disappear. Because of this, the effect of the white smoke increases.
In the blink of an eye, the Eclipse Academy loses his balance before collapsing on the ground. The white smoke is like slow poison. In the end, the opponent loses completely.
The referee declared the White Palace warrior as a winner.
The next moment, she absorbs the white smoke back into her body.
Slowly, the white smoke disappears. On the other hand, the barrier is beginning to come down. By the time the barrier comes down. The white smoke was completely absorbed by her.
For the Eclipse Academy Warrior, it would take some time to regain consciousness.
Cheer!
The audience gave thunderous applause after hearing the winner's name. Earlier, everyone was confused because of the white smoke.
But now that they have seen with their own eyes how the white smoke disappeared into her body.
Block:
Dean Linda showed a bright smile on her face. She was worried earlier. But the elite warrior of their academy was smart enough to understand the situation.
Supreme Elder Marlene was pleased as well.
Dean Edgar sighed in his heart. The Elite Warrior on their side is still a newbie when it comes to dealing with the inheritance power.
He knows that the short dagger was part of the inheritance power. Ordinary weapons won't be able to cut through the brown skin.
He believes that in further matchups students will learn and won't repeat the mistake.
On the Viper Academy side,
Ernest has won the bet. He said that the White Palace girl would win earlier. And the result indeed came out as he had predicted earlier.
"All other academies have some means. Only we are different," Ernest said.
"How?" I asked back.
Laverne perked up her ears as well.
"Others got inheritance or special techniques which can be practiced by anyone talented in their academy."
"But some of our important techniques can be only used by particular element users," Ernest answered in a calm voice.
