The clash of the giant Gods was still in progress.
The spectators outside were thoroughly dumbstruck.
Those who had previously said, "It’s just brute strength", were now utterly silenced. Up until now, the battle skills demonstrated by the giant God-like opponents were even more terrifying than their physique and brute power.
Hidden beneath their imposing and reckless exterior was an intricate and explosive force. At every moment, both sides were constantly adjusting and adapting, with every punch carrying a powerful Qi that allowed no room for squandering.
"So, it’s not that he lacked technique before; he just didn’t need to use it..."
The battling sides had showcased the proficiency of a Martial Arts Master—their fighting style being ruthlessly delicate helped them exploit their "brute strength" advantage to the fullest extent.
If the one in battle were me...
When some temporarily put themselves in the place of the combatants, they felt apprehensive.
Firstly, their frightening brute force impact and huge stature were seemingly impossible to block. And even if you did manage to block it somehow, the moment you lose balance from the shock, you’d get easily killed by a pursuing strike.
The enormous physique and Qi were definitely not just for show. They were adept at utilizing their advantages, and every intentional collision could be seen as a Decree-level wide-range slash or shock. Once you were stricken by this power and brute force, the following intricate and elegant assault was a real threat.
The golden-armored knight was very skillful, and those strange silver-current-like things were obviously Decree-level threats.
The silvery, giant knight exhibited slightly crude battle skills compared to his opponent. However, his ability to fight with both hands and his overall terrifying agility seemed to give him an advantage on the battlefield.
Both sides possessed needle-precise accuracy with spear-like weapons and had a terrifying magnitude. Their stature alone made them prototypes of perfect war machines.
From experts’ perspectives, the "intricacy" and "precision" were way more terrifying than the demonstration of their might.
Low-level professionals could probably see only the mighty impact that’d turn them into dust upon the collision, and the destruction that these beast-like collisions could bring. But high-level professionals and experienced individuals were more worried about whether they could withstand the numerous strike combos that followed the impact.
"...This doesn’t seem like the strength of the thirtieth floor."
If this were a normal thirtieth floor, many third and fourth-tier professionals who had previously cleared it wouldn’t stand a chance.
The existence of similarities in their weapons, tactics, and even appearances among the two raised suspicions.
Perhaps the silver knight—whose strength was clearly beyond normal—had come here for this fight...
"...Is it over?"
But at this moment, Lu Ping’an displayed a somewhat disappointed look.
The mutual slaughter of the giant Knights continued, reflecting the other side of them being heavy-armored units— they both generated extreme impact... and had excellent defense capabilities.
A fatal injury to a normal person may not even leave a mark on their armor. Like giant beasts, they could only accumulate injuries by getting close to each other and resorting to "biting" and "hitting".
The golden knight who possessed the Heroic Spirit was strong. His martial arts were perfect and powerful. His Decree-level "silver talisman" ability was hidden and dangerous, and Lu Ping’an couldn’t avoid it...
"If I can’t dodge it, I’ll have to endure... I just have to counterattack, exchange one blow for another."
"...Has this Decree-level Magic Monster’s body actually limited your potential?"
"This body is too fragile..."
Both sides were aggressive, but their defenses were not on the same level.
Lu Ping’an’s multi-layered defense was disgusting, Zhi Xi’s outer armor could self-repair, whereas the shell of the golden knight was just an ordinary fourth-tier Magic Monster.
As the giant Knights were forced into melee, both sides inevitably exchanged injuries.
Intricate martial arts required distance and space to unfold. But as the performance gap widened with the injuries sustained, and with the increasing voids occurring in the golden knight’s body, his Qi and intimidation inevitably declined.
When the spiritual energy, or something similar, inevitably drained from the Animated Armor, it naturally weakened.
The fight between the heavy-armored warriors had naturally evolved into exchanging injuries. Compared to this body that was "just" a fourth-tier Magic Monster, the defensive strength of Lu Ping’an’s heavy-armored platform was overflowing.
The ability of both sides to withstand injuries were not in the same league. Before Zhi Xi’s spiritual power was exhausted, these armor scratches were recovering at high speed. On the other hand, the golden knight, with just a layer of skin, couldn’t stand the armor sensation of four or five layers.
This is not to say that the golden knight’s defense wasn’t up to par— the fourth-tier Animated Armor was considered a mobile fortress, renowned for being a super iron turtle... It’s just that Lu Ping’an was exceptionally outrageous. His blended-style defense was not the kind of strength this level should have.
Each stab with Lu Ping’an’s Decree-class weapon, a hole was made, but when the opponent’s Battle Axe hit Lu Ping’an, the scratches would heal after a while, how could he fight?
If both parties’ martial skills and combat power were not on the same level, the Heroic Spirit Knight could have slowly ground this outrageous iron turtle to death by leveraging his superiority in martial skills and tactics.
Its "Resonating Silver Talisman" his style of combat, was meant to break through all kinds of armor. Still, the problem was that Lu Ping’an could also use "Resonance," and he was well-prepared for the buffer and counter-resonance.
Perhaps he could not take an advantage in direct confrontations, but it was easy to evade the significant internal explosion damage caused by the accumulation of a large number of "Silver Talismans."
Now, the fighting capabilities of both parties have been pulled to the same level. When the battle proceeds to the stage of exchanging injuries... Both parties to the battle are veterans and know the upcoming outcome.
Another collision, the Golden Armored Knight suffered a loss again, its armor was full of cracks, and there were already seven or eight large holes in its body.
This time, the upper body armor nearly disintegrated... this level of shell could no longer withstand this cruel and direct exchange of injuries.
A similar type of war machine collided again and again, the Strongman lived, and the Weaker died.
The Golden Armored Knight stood up again, but it was completely covered with cracks, and debris kept falling, everyone knew the outcome.
Lu Ping’an hesitated for a moment, but the next moment, the brilliance and fighting spirit radiated by the golden armor showed that Lu Ping’an’s thoughts were just superfluous.
He took a deep breath and took a step forward.
This time, he directly jumped up, reenacting the scene from before, just with different protagonists.
The same position, but under the explosive impact, the power is even more shocking.
The golden flame replaced the silver talisman energy, and it covered Lu Ping’an’s armor - this unresistable force was even more horrifying than before.
This was not because Lu Ping’an needed the flame to increase his power, he just chose to send his opponent off with a fiery cremation.
A huge "meteor crater" was located in the same place. As the silver knight plummeted, there were golden ashes all around.
The dust brought up around was the last ashes of this golden knight.
Perhaps Lu Ping’an saw it wrong, but at that moment, Lu Ping’an seemed to see a smiling face.
Lu Ping’an shook his head, feeling a bit lost and regretful.
But at this moment, the Secret Realm prompts that kicked him out gave an additional option.
[The third-tier Secret Realm ’Everlasting Abyss’ has been completed, and Lu Ping’an’s overall evaluation is ’SS’]
[The Secret Realm Master’s parting words (Rust Knight’s Virtual Persona): Young boy, have you become a young warrior? I hope you will not forget your initial intention of becoming a warrior]
[Based on your comprehensive evaluation and the attitude of the Secret Realm Master, your Secret Realm feedback is as follows. Please make your choice within 1 minute. Otherwise it will be randomized by Secret Realm Master]
[A. Additional contamination toward your physique (after Rust Knight’s Purification)]
[B. Rust Knight’s Random Blessing (third-tier or lower)]
[C. Obtain a random Taboo Item or a nearly contaminated item (Lower Brass). Note: According to the record, there is a high chance to get low-value consumables for this choice. Please choose carefully]
[D. Obtain an additional experience opportunity (unknown)]
[E. Open the shopping store (ss-class store)]
Unknown? Okay, what’s to hesitate, how could you refuse this invitation?
"Ha, you haven’t had enough? Okay, I choose D. If there’s any fun, let’s do it again!"
