Chapter 561: Chapter 411: The Underground Alliance, in Crisis!_2
This sword and shield, named “Blue Radiance Sword Shield”, is only of Rare Level, but its function is quite magical, as the blue luminescence it produces can reveal some hidden engravings.
At this moment, the entire arena fell silent, even the sound of breathing seemed to be suspended.
The human, soaked in sweat, observed his opponent attentively.
The Underground Alliance also widened their eyes, observing the human.
“Bang!”
...
With a gong sound, the Minotaur, Niu Ba, let out a roar.
Almost instantly, he charged forward.
“Roar!” The nearly 3-meter-tall bull warrior raised his long-handle axe and swung a horizontal cleave, creating a fearsome wind noise, brutally outrageous!
It is said that swords and axes are merciless. Even if one dies in the gambling duel, they can only be considered inferior in skill, without causing any diplomatic incidents, nor is there any need for compensation. After all, relationships between civilizations are not that great to begin with, and it is only natural for the weak to perish!
In the eyes of the Underground Alliance, this strike was heavy and powerful, even emitting a scorching red light as if it could easily split steel.
But to the Level 7 Grandmaster, Guo Dafeng, it felt a tad slow.
His heart skipped a beat as he realized that the quality of the opponent’s Spark… didn’t seem very strong?
It surpassed Level Three, but had not reached the range of Level Four.
“Only Level Three!”
Yet the power was indeed shockingly immense!
The ferocious hurricane that approached made Guo Dafeng realize that the power of this attack was even stronger than that of a human Level 7 Grandmaster!
Of course, humans as a species are not known for their strength, they triumph by being well-rounded. Their strength is passable and their running speed is not slow.
The upper limit of their Divine Attribute and the capacity their soul can accommodate are also significant. Being able to accommodate 7 to 9 abilities is already a very high figure.
Even the sciences humans excel at are quite comprehensive. Forging, breeding, textiles—they are learned in all of them, with the natural distribution of Divine Skills being fairly comprehensive.
Right now, Guo Dafeng was calm and composed as he raised his large shield, intending to block the fierce axe strike!
Seeing the opponent raise the shield, Niu Ba instead smiled, his bull mouth splitting wide, eyes twinkling with red light.
He had won!
Because this axe was of Legendary quality, named “Earth Splitting Axe”, possessing the power to split the earth!
Plus, he used a Divine Skill, “Divine Power”!
This ability could increase his own power tenfold in an instant, terrifyingly powerful to the extreme. The blue shield would be easily cleaved open!
“Bang!!”
“Solid!” Guo Dafeng snorted coldly. With a shift in his body, the collision between the axe and the shield generated a violent gust of wind!
A heavy Huge Power transmitted through the handle to Guo Dafeng’s shoulder caused his entire body to tingle slightly.
However, he did not doubt for a moment that the shield would be split open. After all, no matter how strong the Minotaur was, could it really surpass the “Greedy Demon God”?
All the combat gear, even if it was only of Rare Level, had been tested in real combat exercises! If it really were to be split apart, human craftsmen might feel so ashamed they would jump into the furnace and reforge themselves!
Amidst the rough roar, the blue shield released a strong light; Guo Dafeng took out the five flying knives from his waistband and “ding ding dang dang” struck the opponent’s armor.
Stimulated by the flying knives, one gear-shaped intricate engraving after another emerged on the armor.

…
A sigh arose from outside the battlefield.
Niu Ba’s First Axe had failed.
The Cross-eyed Elder, the Alliance Director, and the Bull Chief all clutched their hearts, remaining silent.
Strike while the iron is hot, weaken with a second strike, and exhaust with a third.
The Underground Alliance was in crisis!
…
Using this force, Guo Dafeng retreated a dozen meters backward, steadying his stance, and murmured in his heart, “Field!”
A white frost instantly covered the entire field, and the temperature dropped several degrees out of nowhere.
Niu Ba was also slightly startled inside, as the opponent’s strength indeed was not as formidable as his, but was extremely agile, and what was this white frost? Some kind of tool?
He felt an innate sense of discomfort in his heart, as if he had to take down the opponent quickly, or he would lose.
But the Minotaur race was innately extremely confident.
“The greater the confidence, the stronger the power!”
He couldn’t be bothered to think more, he bared his teeth and roared, lifting the “Earth Splitting Axe” and chopped down once more.
…
The battlefield became somewhat chaotic momentarily, as the heavy axe struck the ground again and again, creating big craters and sending pebbles flying in all directions.
Observers from the Underground Alliance were astonished that this human warrior was able to withstand a blow from the “Divine Power” without any sleight of hand.
“The opponent’s gear doesn’t seem that strong… but it has been specially fortified… is this observing engravings?”
General Dadao Gang, on the other hand, was fixated on that layer of strange frost.
He suddenly thought of something bad — in the lower cracks, some specially powerful Insect Race could trigger something akin to a Domain, how come humans have it now too?
…
The humans on the other side were also quietly discussing through telepathy.
“Although level is crucial, the Divine Skills are the core of combat…”
“This Bull Warrior is both offensive and defensive, truly durable.”
“He must possess at least two Divine Skills, the first increases strength significantly, it’s extremely exaggerated, much stronger than regular ‘Shape Skill’ or ‘Huge Power’; the second Divine Skill is for durability, might be Super-speed Regeneration or something else.”
“Old Guo has used all his strength…” another Lieutenant Colonel swallowed spit.
The telepathic network is naturally the manifestation of someone with a Divine Skill.
“Mr. Lu, how is the observation going?”
Lu Yuan saw those gear-like engravings, his heart sank at first, and after observing for a long time, he finally relaxed slightly.
“Seems to be related to the Gear Civilization, but it’s like a simplified version of the ‘Great Gear Treasure,’ not as exquisite…”
“So it won’t be attacked by [Ghost]?” Lu Tiantian asked.
“Theoretically, this simplified version is somewhat like a deconstruction of some powerful Abilities…”
“It is designed with care to conceal from the [Ghost]’s detection abilities, so I think there should be no big problems.” Lu Yuan thought to himself, “Of course, this is only my guess, the real situation is hard to say.”
“If it can really be used, this piece of knowledge inheritance could be quite valuable.”
The observing Underground soldiers in the stands were still solemn, and the humans were also expressionless.
A lot of information could indeed be gleaned from a battle.
“The opponent’s level isn’t high, looks like only Level Three.”
“Even though the Divine Skills make up for his attack power, level three Spark, the defense isn’t that great.”
“If he can’t produce more Divine Skills, he will be worn down to death by Old Guo.”
“And look, hasn’t his Spark split into two? Positioned in the Lower Qiankun and Middle Qiankun, we have analyzed this path before… It seems viable, but in reality, it’s a dead end.”
During a certain historical stage of the Mandala Empire, such Cultivation methods were popular.
By cultivating two Qiankuns, Spark Energy could double in a short time!
That is to say, fighting power doubled!
But with the Spark split into two, its quality just couldn’t be raised.
After all, it was really troublesome to coordinate two Sparks… so most people were stuck at Level Three, unable to advance further.
This faulty path persisted for thousands of years, during which everyone’s path went astray.
Until an unparalleled genius emerged, devised the Vessel Formation Technique, further enhancing the potential of the Extraordinary Spark, reaching subsequent levels of Four, Five, Six.
Thinking here, Lu Yuan finally felt a stone lifted from his heart.
“It looks like even if the Underground Alliance has some high-level Forging inheritance, it’s limited to Forging Science… They haven’t obtained other information.”
“I have a rough idea of what cards this Alliance holds.”
