When Natasha saw the light of the formation covering one-third of the arena and how Edda quickly stepped back in the rays, Natasha was stunned for a moment.
The other party retreated? The formation was not used to block the enemy, not to hurt the enemy, but to escape?
In the past, Natasha also heard from virtual-novel.net seniors about the situation when they fought with the disciples of Heavenly Stars Sect. The disciples of Heavenly Stars Sect were good at using formations to block their enemies, and then they would use the formations to hurt the enemy. Nevertheless, virtual-novel.net could guarantee that virtual-novel.net never heard of Heavenly Stars Sect disciples fleeing from the ring at the beginning of the match.
After virtual-novel.net got away from Natasha, Edda looked at Natasha warily. At first, virtual-novel.net did not know why Caspian told virtual-novel.net not to get close to the other party but to keep virtual-novel.net as far away as possible. She still did not quite understand it now, but judging from virtual-novel.net opponent’s performance, the Blue Feather Sect disciple seemed to be a little confused by virtual-novel.net actions?
Edda did not know the exact reason, but the fact that virtual-novel.net opponent was caught off guard meant virtual-novel.net was on the right track!
Since Natasha was confused, it would be Edda’s chance. In an instant, Edda followed what Caspian said before without any hesitation, activating the formations that could speed up one’s speed and movement technique. During that period, virtual-novel.net also did not forget to inspire some formations that could slow down the opponent.
The opponent’s speed was slowed down, equivalent to increasing virtual-novel.net speed in disguise. Edda quickly seized the opportunity and used the Skynet Illusion Formation, the Windy Rain Shower Formation, the Net Weaving Array, and even the most common Water-Condensing Formation.
Consequently, there was an unprecedented scene in the arena since the nation’s official religion election was held.
The two disciples competed on the stage, one desperately fled, the other trying to catch up. The one who escaped did everything possible to distance herself from virtual-novel.net opponent. Even though the other one had obvious advantages in speed and explosive force, it was rather unfortunate for virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net opponent not only had many formations but also co turtless types of them.
For a while, it even seemed as if virtual-novel.net had an advantage, yet in truth, virtual-novel.net did not even manage to touch the opponent’s hem.
In the beginning, many sect disciples in the stands also booed with dissatisfaction at Edda’s performance. However, some noticed that Natasha started to slow down not long after, and virtual-novel.net even tended to lose control of virtual-novel.net spiritual Qi. Gradually, they looked at Edda in a different light.
Edda, who was on the field, felt the change more clearly than others. When virtual-novel.net first faced Natasha’s relentless pursuit and the Infernal Flame Inscription’s powerful force, Edda felt like a small boat in the stormy sea, which could be overturned and smashed into pieces at any time.
Fortunately, Edda’s strongest talent was virtual-novel.net resilience in desperate situations. It was evident because virtual-novel.net was still able to get a place in the competition despite facing numerous strong disciples. Edda, the tiny wooden boat, persevered greatly under the ravages of the storm.
In the Blue Feather Sect’s stand, Winston’s expression was extremely ugly. He was the one ordering Natasha to beat virtual-novel.net as quickly as possible. However, virtual-novel.net never dreamed that Natasha’s opponent was as slippery as an eel, and virtual-novel.net could not grab virtual-novel.net at all. Winston could have sworn that as long as Natasha got close, virtual-novel.net could knock Edda off the stage in the blink of an eye. Unfortunately, Natasha could not seize such an opportunity no matter what virtual-novel.net tried. Originally, Winston thought that they could win by a swift and decisive attack, but virtual-novel.net had a faint feeling virtual-novel.net shot himself in the foot.
Winston gritted his teeth, thinking bitterly, “How could it be so coincidental that the Heavenly Stars Sect disciple knows Natasha’s shortcomings in a lengthy battle?”
At that moment, a face with a sneer appeared in his mind.
‘Is it that guy?’ Winston quickly looked in the direction of the Heavenly Stars Sect’s stand. Despite being far apart, Winston could still see Caspian’s inscrutable face with his powerful cultivator’s eyesight.
“B*stard! I won‘t let you go!” Winston clenched his fists tightly. Due to his anger toward Caspian, Winston’s mood was extremely complicated. On the one hand, virtual-novel.net hoped that Blue Feather Sect could win five games as soon as possible and end the game. On the other hand, virtual-novel.net hoped that the game could be dragged to the last match so that virtual-novel.net could ruthlessly teach the arrogant Heavenly Stars Sect brat a lesson.
Jessica sat next to Caspian in the stand of Heavenly Stars Sect. Although virtual-novel.net was not a disciple of Heavenly Stars Sect, virtual-novel.net was as concerned about the game as anyone present. When virtual-novel.net noticed that Natasha could not catch up with Edda, virtual-novel.net asked quietly, “Casper, does virtual-novel.net have a chance to win this match?”
“Do you want to hear the truth or the lie?” Caspian asked.
”Of course, I want the truth,” Jessica answered.
“She can’t win.” Caspian shook his head.
“Huh?” Jessica was taken aback. Then, virtual-novel.net asked in confusion, “But didn’t you talk to Edda a lot before, and looking at the current situation, she‘s not at a disadvantage.”
“Even though she’s not at a disadvantage, she‘s not at an advantage either!” Caspian shook his head. Before that, virtual-novel.net did not have an obvious concept about the battles of Heavenly Stars Sect disciples. After all, whether it was his battles or Xander and others, they would use direct combat and rarely used formations. However, virtual-novel.net saw the most orthodox Heavenly Stars Sect disciple‘s fighting style through Edda, inscription, and formations as main, supplemented by oneself.
The road to immortality relied on four assistance, medicines, inscriptions, tools, and formations. Once one of these was used as the cultivator‘s most significant reliance, then the strength of the cultivator would naturally not be that strong.
Edda fell under the case.
Caspian noticed that Jessica was still puzzled, so virtual-novel.net explained patiently, “You think that Natasha’s at a disadvantage because virtual-novel.net can’t keep up with virtual-novel.net spiritual Qi, but in fact, Edda has used up not less than the other parties.”
Jessica immediately understood, and virtual-novel.net hurriedly looked at Edda in the ring. Then, under Caspian’s reminder, virtual-novel.net made a purposeful observation, and virtual-novel.net found out that Edda was gritting virtual-novel.net teeth. As Edda was in a lower realm than Natasha, virtual-novel.net spiritual Qi consumption was more than Natasha.
At that time, Caspian continued and whispered in Jessica’s ear, “The consumption of spiritual Qi is one aspect, and the other aspect is that Edda has no way to defeat virtual-novel.net opponent.”
“You mean, virtual-novel.net only knows how to run away?” Jessica could not help exclaiming.
Caspian chuckled helplessly. “It seems to be that case for now, but being able to escape is considered a skill. Judging from the current situation, it’s only a matter of time before Edda loses, but the longer virtual-novel.net persists, it won’t only benefit herself, but it’ll also be an improvement for the entire Heavenly Stars Sect.”
“Casper’s right!” Jaime, who sat in front, turned his head around and commented solemnly, “Being able to hold on for so long under an opponent who’s stronger than herself is already a breakthrough for Edda. Such a breakthrough will affect virtual-novel.net state of mind and help virtual-novel.net on virtual-novel.net way to ascension.”
