Chapter 921: Chapter 709: Long Fu vs. Mifang—Does Long Fu Possess the Potential for the Holy Domain?!

Ice Sculpture Royal Capital.

The dueling field was packed, with no empty seats among the tens of thousands present, and even the walkways were crowded.

The enthusiasm of the capital’s residents for watching duels is naturally the highest in the entire nation.

As the duelists officially entered the arena, a cheer erupted among the audience.

Amidst the thunderous cheers, the fully armed Mifang, resembling a Heavy Armor Knight, cautiously gazed at the Dragon-man youth, coming to a halt earlier.

Long Fu carried a Golden Flower Steel Saw on his back, wore metal gloves (Offensive Chameleon), and exposed the fiery red Dragon Scales. In terms of the number of Transcendent equipment on his body, it was less than a third of Mifang’s.

Their appearance sparked heated discussions.

“Is that Mifang? The layers upon layers of Extraordinary Spiritual Light are blinding.”

“This is a bit too much, right? Mifang has at least three pieces of Golden Level armor. Clearly, he’s the advantaged one.”

“Lord Mifang… I’ve never seen him armed himself so heavily before.”

People were generally astonished by Mifang’s excessive armament, especially a group of female spectators. These individuals had watched Mifang’s duels a long time ago and were his loyal supporters.

“The duel officially begins now!” The duel arena owner personally took the stage to host.

Dueling among Golden Level opponents is rare, typically conducted with the duel arena owner in attendance.

The buzz among the crowd quickly quieted, and everyone focused intently, eager to see what kind of spectacular duel the two Golden Level Transcendents could perform.

Unexpectedly, Mifang, the dominant side, did not go on the offensive but abruptly retreated.

While retreating, he took out various potions and poured them into his mouth.

Mifang’s face guard could open from the bottom, allowing him to take potions unhindered.

Gulp, gulp…

His Adam’s apple bobbed continuously, drinking at least ten different Magic Potions in a short time.

Streams of colorful brilliance gradually emanated from within him, enhancing his various states.

“It’s here! This is one of Lord Mifang’s trump cards, swiftly consuming multiple Magic Potions in a short time. He can do this thanks to his personally developed special Magic Potion: Scum Volatilizer.”

“But normally, Mifang uses this tactic in the late stages of a duel. In this fight, he’s using it right from the start?”

“There’s no other way; the benefits of mount potions are too substantial, right? Mifang must be under enormous pressure from the Jingxiang family, so he’s going all out from the beginning!”

“I hope Long Fu can hold on. An all-out Mifang is certainly terrifying.”

As outsiders, the audience speculated and also felt a bit concerned for the Dragon-man youth.

Seeing Mifang retreat, the Dragon-man youth did not chase but calmly took out a Magic Scroll from his bosom.

While Mifang kept drinking potions, he kept tearing Magic Scrolls.

Assuming the identity of Long Fu, specialized in Fighting energy, he only mastered some Magic-like Spells. Therefore, the Dragon-man youth couldn’t use spells publicly, relying solely on Magic Scrolls.

Similar to Mifang, soon the Dragon-man youth’s entire body was also fortified with numerous Beneficial Magic spells.

Their choices were surprisingly aligned.

However, while Mifang chose Magic Potions, the Dragon-man youth opted for Magic Scrolls.

The discrepancy soon became apparent.

After Mifang consumed twelve Magic Potions and burped contentedly, he began channeling Fighting energy, fully activating the power of his defensive tools.

At this time, the Dragon-man youth was still tearing scrolls.

More and more Beneficial effects were layered on the Dragon-man youth. An array of effects and colorful brilliance enveloped him, obscuring even his face.

Mifang was astounded.

The entire dueling field erupted in tumult.

“Long Fu actually fortified himself with so many spells?”

“My gosh, his Bloodline must be exceptional.”

“More than exceptional? That amount of spell fortifications proves he definitely has the makings of a Holy Domain level.”

“Didn’t expect him to be a Holy Domain seed!?”

“No wonder after getting hit by the Ice Calamity aura, he quickly advanced to Golden Level. Turns out Golden Level isn’t his limit, but merely a middle segment of his Transcendent journey.”

Numerous intense gazes fell upon the Dragon-man youth for a while.

Among the audience, the disguised Cong Mang was inwardly sneering: “This is just the beginning?”

He witnessed firsthand the Fishman youth’s fortified state, knowing very well that the Fishman youth’s talent surpassed the Holy Domain, and might become a Legendary level in the future!

Although Cong Mang had not seen the Fishman youth use Divine Arts and Spells to fortify himself like Hun Tong, he had been personally beaten by the Fishman youth, feeling it much more profoundly than Hun Tong did.

The resounding and astonishing reaction of the entire audience was fully sensed by the Dragon-man youth.

He appeared calm, his emotions stable.

He exposed himself intentionally to showcase his qualifications publicly, preparing for various future actions.

Mifang looked at the distant Dragon-man youth, who stood like a mountain, and felt the stiffness of his limbs even without having fought yet.

He had participated in many duels, but never before had he felt such tremendous pressure even before engaging.

Thoughts churned in Mifang’s mind: “Holy Domain level Bloodline? Does Long Fu really have such a qualification?”

“Would arms dealers backing him risk exposing a Holy Domain level seed?”

In a normal scenario, if an organization discovered a Holy Domain seed, it would go to great lengths to protect and secretly nurture it.

It’s indeed rare for someone like the Dragon-man youth to be roaming around so freely.

“Maybe, Long Fu didn’t know he had such talent, and only just discovered it? After all, bloodline tests have always been unreliable.”

“The terrifying scenario is that they all knew.”

If it’s the latter situation, the arms dealer behind the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps must have been fully prepared to release Long Fu.

Mifang quickly recalled the terrifying record of Zong Ge’s one-against-three challenge.

What kind of attack method did Zong Ge use to achieve this? To this day, duelists still can’t figure it out.

Mifang’s forehead started to drip with cold sweat: “We may have underestimated Long Fu, underestimated the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps!”

“Since he is Holy Domain Level, he must have significant cards to ensure his survival.”

“The one-against-three combat strategy is probably just part of those cards.”

“Besides his attacks, he likely has defensive and recovery strategies, and these are often even more powerful than his offensive ones.”

“Right, there’s also teleportation.”

“A Holy Domain Level Teleportation Scroll can be instant cast.”

“Unlike the Royal Capitals of other kingdoms, the Ice Sculpture Royal Capital does not prohibit spatial teleportation.”

“So, is that why Long Fu is so fearless!”

Mifang is a shrewd person; his clever mind got him from the bottom to his current position, and he thinks a lot.

But the more he thought, the more psychological pressure he felt!

Seeing Mifang steadfastly holding his ground with no sign of attack, a sharp glint flashed in the Dragon-man youth’s eyes.

“The psychological tactics worked.”

“Indeed, deception is not just for war but widely used in personal battles as well.”

“Hehehe, I’ve already grasped the victory of this battle!”

Realizing this, the Dragon-man youth’s confidence surged.

Combat Skill – Riot.

He activated his fighting energy, blasting from his feet to form a powerful thrust. His whole person shot towards Mifang like a crimson bomb.

“Here it comes!” Mifang’s heart tightened as he braced himself.

Bang!

Clang, clang, clang…

The two collided and then unleashed their respective weapons in fierce confrontation.

The Dragon-man youth wielded the Offensive Chameleon, constantly morphing various weapon forms, and paired these with different combat skills to launch attacks.

Meanwhile, Mifang held two shields, one large and one small, forming a solid defense line to block the Dragon-man youth’s assault.

The audience generally had strange expressions.

“I didn’t expect the real aggressor to be Long Fu, not Mifang.”

“Long Fu is very strong, how many types of weapons can he use?”

“Lord Mifang’s pre-battle intelligence was excellent. He didn’t underestimate Long Fu, having prepared so many defensive items, all of which were useful!”

The Royal Capital’s residents have quite rich experience in watching battles.

As the clash between the Dragon-man youth and Mifang continued for a while, most people noticed that Long Fu was gradually losing the initiative.

Despite Mifang remaining in a defensive posture, he maintained a stable defense line using shields, armor, and various alchemy tools, becoming increasingly composed.

In this situation, once he started a formal counterattack, it was very likely he would reverse the battle’s momentum and gain the upper hand.

“Mifang is fighting very steadily, well done.” This was of great importance, so Clan Leader Jingxiang watched personally.

At first, he had thought Mifang’s full armor was making a fuss over nothing, but as he watched, he grew increasingly satisfied.

He believed he had seen through Mifang’s thoughts: “This is a defensive counterattack strategy.”

“First let Long Fu attack continually, depleting his fighting energy, and understand his offensive tactics.”

“Then, find the right moment, and once counterattacking, maintain control of the situation, pushing Long Fu to a defeated conclusion!”

He misjudged Mifang.

From start to finish, Mifang had never thought of a defensive counterattack. The many strategies he considered had only one purpose, which was to save his life!

Just now…

“Is it my illusion?”

“Engaging with Long Fu, the pressure from the Offensive Chameleon isn’t as great as imagined.”

Mifang’s spirit started to rise again.

His perception was not wrong.

Previously, Zong Ge, aiming for a quick victory, wielded two Offensive Chameleons, creating battle opportunities, and then attacked with the flair of a [Weapon Master].

The Dragon-man youth is not a Weapon Master.

If it weren’t for receiving the Divine Blessing, gaining much weapon usage experience and memories, he wouldn’t even manage such a disguise.

Even so, he is not a Weapon Master. Even fully exerting himself now, he can’t compare with Zong Ge at that time.

Mifang was present during the entire process when Zong Ge killed Ice Calamity firsthand. For this duel, he watched all the Magic Images of “Long Fu’s” battles, each at least a hundred times!

“Maybe, I should counterattack now?” Mifang licked his dry lips.
