Chapter 440: Chapter 440: Erica VS Shadow Attendant
Erica stood before Li Wei, her expression grave.
She looked at Li Wei and said, "Li Wei, we don’t actually have to fight."
"Just tell my teacher everything you know."
Li Wei chuckled. "Heh, it’s nothing personal, but I genuinely look down on your teacher."
"Who the hell does he think he is? Why should I tell him anything?"
The moment he said this, Otz and Allen froze on the spot.
’Holy shit! He’s got guts!’
’Isn’t Li Wei afraid of offending Locks?’
’Isn’t he afraid of death?’
Erica was also stunned, unable to process it for a moment.
Locks had been maintaining a faint smile, looking calm and composed the entire time.
But upon hearing Li Wei’s words, his composure finally broke, and his face darkened.
Locks stared intently at Li Wei. "Li Wei, have I been too lenient with you?"
"Made you actually think you could stand on equal footing with me?"
"Erica, break all four of his limbs. Just leave him with a breath of life, enough so he can still talk."
Locks gave the order without hesitation.
Erica took a deep breath, feeling helpless.
She followed her teacher’s command, instantly entering a combat stance. Her gaze became incredibly sharp.
When Otz and Allen met her eyes, they both felt a chill creep into their hearts.
Erica gave them an incredibly dangerous feeling.
Li Wei shook his head, having no intention of fighting Erica.
"Shadow Attendant."
WHOOSH!
A white shadow shot out from Li Wei’s side, blocking Erica’s path.
Erica’s eyes widened in surprise when she saw the White Nitro standing before Li Wei.
"Is that... a Nitro?"
Erica was astonished. She hadn’t expected Li Wei to have a Nitro with him.
Seeing this, Locks’s eyes glinted, and his fingers twitched slightly, as if an idea had struck him.
’Nitros are a rare species.’
’Creatures not of this world.’
Locks had never managed to obtain a material sample from a Nitro before.
Now, seeing that Li Wei actually possessed a Nitro, the desire to seize it immediately arose within him.
He had already witnessed the power of the Nitro species while observing the tournament.
If he could conduct in-depth research on this species, it would be of immense benefit to his Biological Alchemy.
Perhaps it could even show him the path to becoming a Legendary Biomechanical Alchemist.
After all, during the exchange tournament, the giant Nitro’s power had nearly broken through to the Legendary Level several times.
In Locks’s view, as long as a Nitro was fed enough Purple Star Stone, it had immense potential to break through to the Legendary Level.
’It’s the perfect specimen.’
Locks immediately changed his mind and ordered Erica.
"Forget him. Capture that Nitro."
He would deal with Li Wei himself.
Li Wei had the very same intention.
Erica obeyed, breathing a sigh of relief internally.
If she wasn’t fighting Li Wei, she had far fewer reservations.
BAM!
Erica erupted with force, lunging violently at the Nitro.
The Shadow Attendant transformed into a white streak, crashing into the charging Erica.
BOOM!
The two collided, unleashing a shocking blast wave.
The blast wave swept through the inner hall, instantly sending all the surrounding items and decorations flying.
They crashed against the floor and walls with a series of clatters and bangs.
Countless priceless, invaluable decorations were shattered to pieces.
Otz’s eyelids twitched just watching, his heart aching at the loss.
But more than the financial loss, he was focused on the battle between the Nitro Li Wei had summoned and Erica.
Their fighting style left Otz completely astonished.
’It’s bestial—a slugfest of pure, brute force.’
’There wasn’t a shred of technique to be seen.’
’It made sense for the Nitro.’
’It was obviously a monster.’
’It was normal for it to possess such a terrifying physique and Power.’
’But what was with Erica?’
’Isn’t she Locks’s disciple? Isn’t she an Alchemist?’
’Why would she possess such immense physical strength and Power?’
’It completely defied common sense.’
Alchemists were a branch of the Mage Professional class.
Logically, they should be like Mages, relying on Magic to fight and having weak physical constitutions.
But the scene before them completely overturned Otz and Allen’s understanding of the Alchemist class.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
Erica and the Shadow Attendant traded blows, punch for punch.
It was a pure contest of brute strength and physique.
Neither side showed any hint of technique.
RIIIIP!
Erica tore off her own Magic Robe, shedding the cumbersome garment.
This revealed a body completely wrapped in Magic Bandages.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
The Shadow Attendant, controlling the Nitro’s body, rained punches down on Erica.
The Magic Bandages on Erica’s body flared with bursts of light, nullifying fifty percent of the force.
Erica blocked the Shadow Attendant’s attack.
She then sent the Shadow Attendant flying with a spinning roundhouse kick.
As the Shadow Attendant flew through the air, it activated its Silent Domain.
In an instant, the entire inner hall was plunged into absolute silence.
The Silent Domain absorbed all sound waves within its range.
Erica landed on the ground, but no sound came from her footstep.
It was disorienting for a moment, making her feel as if she hadn’t landed on solid ground.
Erica flew after the Shadow Attendant she had just knocked away.
The two figures darted wildly around the inner hall.
Allen stared blankly at the flying blurs, unable to see anything clearly.
He quietly took a few steps back, retreating to the entrance of the inner hall to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.
He also cast a Magic Shield on himself, lest the aftershocks injure him.
Allen actually wanted to just leave, but he couldn’t bear to miss the great battle unfolding before him.
’This place is a little too dangerous for me.’
Allen hadn’t expected to be the weakest person in this battle.
Even the aftershocks could potentially harm him.
Otz could barely make out the fight between the two.
He was also horrified. ’How can someone as young as Erica possess such incredible strength?’
’Her speed probably rivals that of a Tier Six Assassin Professional.’
He himself was only a Tier Five High Level Grand Swordmaster.
Even spectating was a struggle for him.
Furthermore, he was also shocked by Li Wei’s abilities.
’To think Li Wei could casually summon a Tier Six monster to fight for him.’
Seeing Li Wei and Locks facing off, Otz suddenly realized that Li Wei might actually have the ability to fight Locks.
The thought was inconceivable to him.
It was already shocking enough that Li Wei had become a Grand Mage in such a short time.
But what was even more unimaginable was that his strength was far greater than that.
Li Wei and Locks stared at each other, paying no mind to the fierce battle raging beside them.
Locks’s own body had been modified; his eyes possessed enhanced motion detection, allowing him to easily track the high-speed movements of Erica and the Shadow Attendant.
Li Wei, on the other hand, relied entirely on the powerful physique and eyesight granted to him by the Holy Giant Dragon.
He too could clearly see the movements of Erica and the Shadow Attendant.
Locks looked at Li Wei, the corner of his mouth lifting into a slight smirk as he let out a soft laugh.
"Is this the source of your confidence, the reason you think you can contend with me?"
Li Wei watched him quietly.
"Don’t think so highly of yourself."
Locks sneered, "I hope you can keep up that tough talk."
