Chapter 27: Chapter 27- Yang Chen Vs Zhang Wei
Yang narrowed his eyes and composed himself to face Zhang Wei who was a level higher than him. Unlike the time in Zhang clan, where he had the aid of the Attribute Booster, or during the time when he faced five exhausted hunters, this time he couldn't rely on external factors.
He will have to use his own strength to get through this. If he couldn't surpass the opponent in front of him, he would die.
Yang Chen who had already died once, did not know what would happen if he died again. Would he have another life after this waiting for him or would this be the end?
He who had already lived a cruel life before, hated the fact of dying again. He had already resolved back then that no matter what happens this time, he would live his life to the fullest. Even if he needs to resort to using dirty tricks, he will win.
"You think you can kill members of my clan just because you are an Eight Star Battle Apprentice? See how I break your hands and legs and drag you back to the clan. Haaahh!!... [Battle Fervour]".
Zhang Wei roared, the aura around him started spiking and it quickly reached the peak of a Nine Star Battle Apprentice. The next instant... BANG, he stepped forward cracking the ground and appeared above Yang Chen like a ghost.
Zhang Wei swung his sword down in an attempt to chop Yang Chen in two. He did not dare go easy on his opponent and directly used one of his two Battle Skills, right from the start.
SHING... the sword chopped down and the blade inserted itself deep into the ground. However, other than that it did not manage to do anything.
Yang Chen appeared a few meters away, the instant he saw Zhang Wei attacking, he activated [Burst Steps] and moved away from his spot.
"Hnn... that [Battle Fervour] Battle Skill, should be a Mid Tier Earth Grade battle skill. It's not too shabby" Amon decided to appear at this moment and casually remarked.
Mid Tier earth grade? Doesn't that mean that it was on par with both of his own battle skills? Not only was the other guy higher levelled than him, but even the battle skills they had wasn't any inferior than his own.
"Kukuku... Don't overthink things too much. Unlike you who have gained perfect completion over the Burst Step skill, his comprehension over his skill could barely be called to have reached the intermediate stage".
"If you can delay the fight for a little while, the effects of the skill should soon start to disappear. At that time, it wouldn't be impossible for you to defeat him"
Amon calmly analysed, being the consciousness of the Greedvil system, it was very sharp and knowledgeable when it came to Battle Skills. As such, it was easily able to recognise what skill the other party used and what its weakness was.
That being said... "Easy for you to say" With another [Burst Steps] Yang Chen narrowly avoided another lethal attack that targeted his heart.
Delay for a while, it sounded easier said than done. His opponent was someone who was one whole level higher than him. It must be mentioned that each level in the Battle Apprentice class was seperated by a relatively big gap in strength.
A Nine Star Battle Apprentice was far stronger than an Eight Star Battle Apprentice. Not only in terms of the amount of Battle Energy they can utilise, but also in terms of how strong their bodies was.
The Battle Apprentice rank was the first stage in cultivation. In this rank, a practitioner builds his foundation by strengthening his muscles and bones so that it becomes ready for the next stage. Naturally, if a person is higher levelled than you in this rank, their body is more stronger and tougher than you.
Though that may be the case, it wasn't like Yang Chen couldn't cover up that gap using his battle skills. However, the opponent he was facing this time was just any ordinary opponent, he was the son of the patriarch of the Zhang clan.
From his birth, Zhang Wei enjoyed many medicinal pills and training materials. His foundation was stronger than an average Nine Star Battle Apprentice. Not to mention the latter also has a few battle skills in his arsenal.
CLANG... two swords collided and Yang Chen was immediately pushed back by a dozens of steps. He felt the taste of blood within his mouth and battle energy churned within his body.
"Dammit" he cursed.
"Kfufufu... what are you so anxious about? Didn't you say that you are going to live your life to the fullest and survive no matter what? Then hang in there, this is also a good opportunity for you to gain some fighting experience. Up until you had only been fighting demonic beasts. This is a good opportunity for you to take pointers from someone higher levelled than you"
Amon buzzed and floated like a carefree cloud around him.
"Wait what? How do you know that? Those were just thoughts that I have only mentioned in my heart"
Yang Chen who was locked in an intense fight with Zhang Wei, hurriedly made some distance after finding Amon knew the words that he had only said in his heart and never out loud.
"Hm? What are you being so surprised for? The Greedvil system has merged with your soul and I who is the consciousness of that system, am naturally able to read your thoughts and mind. Oh and dodge that, that skill is dangerous"
Right after Amon said that, Yang Chen shifted his attention back onto Zhang Wei who had grown a little frustrated after not being able to hit his target. He had activated his other skill [Mountain Slash] and a powerful orange sword glow covered his blade.
Zhang Wei slashed his sword with all of his strength and an orange sword shadow appeared in front of Yang Chen in the blink of an eye.
"Dammit" Unable to dodge it in time, Yang Chen cursed and immediately used his Eight Fold Split skill to compete against the incoming blade shadow. Two attacks clashed, their powerful energies cancelled each other out. The ground cracked and a fierce wind blew, pushing the two combatants back.
