Four Split Personalities

Chapter 2576: Chapter 1217: Unrestricted Battle · Awakening Dragon (III)

Awakening Dragon is not someone with an obsessive-compulsive disorder, nor is he a pedantic person. In fact, both the current era and his age provide little soil for ’pedantic’ growth.

In other words, he is not particularly pursuing ’fairness’; otherwise, he wouldn’t have just taken off his weapon. After all, for most players, all of Awakening Dragon’s equipment, including his weapon, is beyond reach.

Moreover, for professional gamers, things like equipment and skills, even including diet and living environment, are not considered ’external factors’, but rather a part of strength.

Therefore, Awakening Dragon’s act of removing his weapon is not in pursuit of any so-called fairness; he simply wants to have a good fight with this interesting opponent before him. We can understand it as a spur-of-the-moment impulse.

Also, as the pillar of the Red Constellation Club and a famously renowned professional gamer, Awakening Dragon cannot in such public situations lower the priority of ’winning’ below the first position. Even if he doesn’t care, the club certainly wouldn’t allow it.

An impulse is an impulse, professionalism is professionalism. Ultimately, the reason why he can easily give up the enormous advantage of a ’weapon’ is because he is confident he will win, has a hundred percent confidence in winning.

This Half-Dragon People before him is an interesting opponent, but only limited to being ’interesting’, absolutely impossible to pose any threat to him.

This flag Awakening Dragon raises without any psychological pressure, because he indeed has the capital to back it up.

...

"Please advise me."

Seeing Awakening Dragon voluntarily took off his weapon, Motan, who was in a hurry, didn’t engage in much pleasantries, just nodded lightly, and then directly launched [Charge], wielding his sword towards the former with lightning speed. Although the speed wasn’t particularly fast, the rhythm was grasped with extreme precision, ready to perform ’sudden stop’ or ’second-stage acceleration’ operations at any time, preemptively eliminating the possibility of being hit by skills like [Dragon Cannon].

[Professional-level displacement rhythm...]

As the ceiling of professional level, Awakening Dragon narrowed his eyes with interest, a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, allowing Motan to rush to the point of being close at hand, and only responded when the tip of the [Dawn · Ruthless Sword] was less than ten centimeters from his chest.

He gently stomped his foot.

Then Motan was uncontrollably hit by a colossal upward force, his entire body was directly shocked into the air. Although he regained his balance immediately, he still lost the initial advantage.

[Ground Shock]

[Note 1: The correct punctuation is ’Ground, Thunder Shock’, not ’Landmine · Shock’.]

[Note 2: We all know, floating implies infinite combos~]

...

After shocking Motan to more than two meters above the ground, Awakening Dragon, who was standing with his hands behind his back, finally moved. With a flick of his body, he appeared under Motan using the high-level skill of the Monk System, [Cloud Body], following up with a fluid [Rising Dragon Punch].

As the saying goes, all martial arts come from Rising Dragon. Although in most cases, this move rarely fully exerts its power, in the case of the opponent being airborne, most fighting enthusiasts wouldn’t mind following up with a Rising Dragon to send the enemy even higher. As for a strong person at the level of Awakening Dragon, he further nailed the strength and angle to the limit; in simple terms, it’s unavoidable——

Bang!

The sword edge swung with effort failed to break through the layer of Qi Force wrapped around Awakening Dragon’s fist but was directly deflected to the side. The latter didn’t even give Motan a chance to borrow strength for displacement. As he used his right fist to smash away Motan’s blow, he immediately followed by springing from the ground, pressing down a sharp overhead kick, and slammed the position-changing Motan heavily back to the ground.

[Dragon Cannon]!

With the positions swapped, Awakening Dragon soared to the ground, grasping his right hand firmly where a dragon head silhouette appeared again, striking straight towards Motan’s face.

No room to breathe, knowing that being hit directly on the head by this move would be absolutely lethal, Motan rolled to the side in distress, just about to activate [Waning Moon] for some more time, when two air blades came slicing through the air, directly hitting him. Although it only chopped off about 2% of Motan’s Health Points, it still knocked him into a rigid state.

Within less than half a second of rigidness, Awakening Dragon had already approached Motan again.

0.75 meters! A distance where a Martial Monk can exert a hundred percent of their strength!

Just as Motan previously gained the advantage using [Dawn · Pure Snow Spear] by controlling distance when sparring with Anthony Dubs, even though possessing numerous mid-range abilities, Awakening Dragon still, without hesitation, chose close combat, directly using a barrage-like dense offensive to suppress Motan.

Because his main profession is that of a Martial Monk, which excels in various Combat Skills, taking off the weapon does not affect Awakening Dragon’s performance, and in terms of damage, even barehanded, Awakening Dragon, with a large number of combat passive skills and fisticuffs specialization reaching a level 43 standard, would absolutely not be weaker than Motan holding [Dawn].
