Yang Yu tried to use his eloquence to persuade Wan Huawen to find him a new opponent, but Wan Huawen was determined to have Yang Yu compete with his son.
After the negotiations failed, Yang Yu could only take out his shield and sword to fight.
Seeing Wan Huawen, Wan Ze did not move forward. He stood there as if waiting for Wan Huawen to attack him, taking a few sips of wine from time to time.
Yang Yu did not approach Wan Ze immediately, but inserted the sword in front of him and activated his skills.
The number and strength of thorns that can be produced by [Binding of Thorns] depends on whether Yang Yu injects magic power into the ground for a long time.
Since Wan Ze had no intention of attacking, Yang Yu naturally had to use the full effect of this skill. Perhaps, this would create a glimmer of chance of winning.
Sensing that the vitality around his sword could no longer increase, Yang Yu urged this vitality to surround Wan Ze.
"[Bound by Thorns]"
With Yang Yu's order, the land around Wanze suddenly exploded, and countless purple thorns gushed out. Wanze did not hide, but just stood there and let tons of thorns submerge him.
"What kind of attack is this? I've never seen it before. After all this time, there's finally something new."
With his head dizzy, Wanze wanted to pour wine into his mouth, but found that his arms were tied up with thorns and it was difficult to break free without using any force.
While Wan Ze was pulling the thorns, Yang Yu drew his sword. A black shadow sank into the blade as he advanced. In a blink of an eye, Yang Yu came in front of Wan Ze and swung a sword towards his chest.
The scene in front of him was shaking, but Wanze turned his clever ears and caught the sound of the attack.
Seeing the direction of Yang Yu's attack, Wan Ze took out his hand hidden in his arms, stretched it forward, and grabbed Yang Yu's sword.
The sword blade was caught, and Yang Yu instantly let go of his hand, pulled out the second sword from the system, and continued attacking.
Wan Ze intended to use a surprise attack to gain the upper hand, but unexpectedly, he raised his leg and stepped on Yang Yu's sword.
"Two-sword style? One, two, three, four. Four arms. I have never seen such a race before."
Wan Ze put force on his feet. In order to prevent himself from being knocked over, Yang Yu loosened the hilt of the sword again, took two steps forward, and threw a straight punch towards Wan Ze's lower abdomen.
His ears caught Yang Yu's movement again, Wan Ze loosened his left hand, letting Yang Yu's first sword fall casually, then he took a step to the left with his left foot, and a blood-red light gushed out from his body, turning into a solid protective shield.
When Yang Yu's fist hit the shield, it was like hitting a steel plate more than fifty meters thick. Fortunately, he withdrew his fist in time, thereby preventing his fist from being completely shattered.
Yang Yu knew this skill, its name was [Bloody Protection]. This skill would create a shield that would temporarily deflect all attacks.
This skill also appeared in the list of skills that Yang Yu wanted to learn.
However, this skill has an obvious drawback. After weighing the pros and cons, Yang Yu finally chose to give up this skill.
Although this skill looks like a complete hemisphere, in fact, the area that can rebound damage is only the area from the user's shoulders to hips.
Leaping back a few steps to avoid the spreading shield, Yang Yu steadily caught the first sword that was bounced away. Then, he climbed down at lightning speed, dodging the effective range of the skill and avoiding being bounced away.
After entering the shield, Yang Yu stood up again and rushed towards Wan Ze, swinging the sword in his hand mercilessly.
Yang Yu knew that his attacks were weak, and he couldn't cause much damage to Wan Ze, whose defense power was over a thousand. But as long as he could let his sword prick his nerves, he would wake up, and then he would win.
Swinging the wine gourd in his right hand, Wan Ze easily resolved Yang Yu's attack and swayed back towards Yang Yu.
A flash of blood red appeared on his claws, and he threw them forward with force, and five red lights hit Yang Yu diagonally.
Yang Yu opened his shield and clicked "Intercept". The illusory shield instantly opened in front of him, blocking the five blood-red rays of light. The next moment, Yang Yu saw Wan Ze disappear completely in front of him with a "whoosh".
Realizing that something was wrong, Yang Yu rolled his eyes, dividing every second into sixty pictures, and time slowed down in his vision.
Finally, at the moment Wan Ze made his move, Yang Yu caught sight of Wan Ze's figure. He tried his best to turn his head, but the fast shadow still passed by him.
A streak of blood flowed down Yang Yu's face, along with a few strands of hair flying in the air.
Without waiting for Yang Yu to think about what skill Wan Ze had just used, Wan Ze's foot drew a semicircle on the ground, and he pushed hard, attacking Yang Yu's back.
Turning around, Yang Yu raised his shield, but before he could use [Shield Counter], Wan Ze punched the shield. Yang Yu's arm went numb, and he even felt as if the shield was dented by the punch. He retreated several meters.
"You are quite capable. If it were an ordinary person, that blow would have ended it. You are quite capable."
Lifting the wine gourd, Wan Ze gulped down the wine, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and in a blink of an eye, he launched an attack again.
"How about this move?"
Wanze's speed suddenly increased, and this time he came to Yang Yu's side and gave him an ordinary whip kick. Yang Yu took a deep breath, endured the numbness in his hands, and activated [Shield Block]. At the same time, he used [Climb] to firmly stick to the ground with his feet.
Shield and fist met.
[Shield Block] completely blocked Wang Ze's attack, but the ground under Yang Yu's feet was actually lifted up, causing Yang Yu to fly backwards.
After releasing the adhesion brought by [Climbing] and putting away the sword, Yang Yu rolled on the grass, stopped instantly, and observed Wan Ze's movements. Unexpectedly, Wan Ze jumped above Yang Yu in an instant and kicked him.
Wan Ze moved so quickly that Yang Yu had no way to dodge. He lowered his center of gravity, activated [Iron Wall] and [Body of Steel], increased his dual resistance, increased his health, reduced damage, and chose to take the attack head-on.
A strong pressure came from top to bottom, Yang Yu's waist was trembling, and the ground supporting him, with countless cracks spreading around him.
Seeing that the flying kick still hadn't decided the winner, Wanze kicked the shield and jumped into the air again.
Whether it was a mistake or due to his extreme confidence, Wanze stayed in the air for a long time. This was the only flaw he revealed.
If you don't fight back now, you will never get another chance to fight back.
Yang Yu made a prompt decision, used [Assistance Charge] to return to Lothkar's side, and gave up the test.
