"You are young, you have a long time to become stronger, and then defeat the enemies you could not defeat before."
Francis spoke earnestly to Karen, then knelt down and stroked Karen's head.
Karen looked at him with a determined gaze; he was a bald man who was almost twice her height.
"I won't admit defeat, I want to test where the gap is."
Karen was full of fighting spirit. As a warrior, she was naturally unwilling to miss any opportunity to hone her skills, especially such a rare one.
In the dueling arena, opponents will fight with all their might without regard for their status, while in regular training, opponents will always be mindful of their status.
Kaslana is destined to walk the battlefield of Honkai; her current laziness will only dig a hole for the future.
Otto, nicknamed "Karen," stood on the sidelines with his hands clasped together, as if in prayer, gazing anxiously at the girl he longed for on stage.
Karen showed no fear and walked straight into the dueling arena, looking up at her strong and powerful opponent.
“Karen Kaslana,” Karen read the name aloud.
"Aikander Apocalypse." Aikend pronounced the name as well, in a proper manner, but he only glanced at Karen before bursting into laughter.
A mere, inexperienced little girl?
Throughout history, even the most talented Kaslana could not defeat an elite adult force, let alone...
As the captain of the Apocalypse family's guard, there are very few people in the entire Schicksal family who can be compared to him, apart from the adult Kaslana and Shaniat.
How could I possibly be reduced to fighting a little girl? Even a lion would fight a rabbit with all its might, but when faced with such a situation, contempt would naturally take over my mind.
The vast difference in strength was obvious to the naked eye, and even the audience below the stage scoffed. These nobles had lived in Kaslana's shadow for many years, and finally had a rare opportunity to see Kaslana make a fool of herself.
In the hearts of the people, Kaslana is a reliable shield; in the eyes of the nobles, Kaslana is a plunderer who possesses a large share of the pie.
On the duel field, the opponent's nonchalant demeanor was full of contempt, while Kallen was on high alert, carefully observing the opponent's every move.
Aikend took the initiative to mock, saying, "Don't bully me. It'll damage my reputation if word gets out. I'll give you three moves."
Aikend disdainfully stretched out his hand and flicked it with his index finger.
Karen didn't answer. Fight, fight. No more nonsense. Since the other side has given us a chance, we shouldn't let it slip away.
He immediately took a step forward, lunged at Aikend, and threw a right straight punch with all his might. Aikend did not dodge and blocked it with his palm.
"Tsk!" Aikend winced in pain and quickly took a few steps back.
Karen's strength seemed to exceed his expectations. Before Aikend could get into a blocking stance, Karen charged at him again.
Aikend didn't dare to block with his body, but fortunately Karen was relatively slow, so Aikend dodged to the side.
Karen followed up with a high kick, and Aikend said seriously, "Three moves done!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Aikend dodged to the side again and threw a powerful punch at Karen, a punch that was devoid of any technique but only had force.
Karen tried to block with both hands, but was sent flying several meters away.
Aikend shook his hand, disgruntled: "What bad luck."
"Ugh," Karen bit her lip, the punch she just received was powerful.
The first three attacks were all thwarted. If the kick had been higher, I wouldn't have needed to raise my leg so high; a side kick would have hit.
But reality doesn't allow for "what ifs." Just as Karen was catching her breath, Aiken came up behind her.
Karen hurriedly turned around to look, and at that moment, Aikend looked down on the diminutive Karen like a giant.
"If you want to blame someone, blame your arrogant and ignorant father!"
Aikend stopped holding back and began to attack Karen with punches and kicks. Karen instinctively dodged the first few attacks, but unfortunately she was hit once. After that, all the attacks landed on Karen's petite body.
A 12-year-old child, after being beaten by a 40-year-old man who had been fighting for many years, couldn't even withstand a single heavy punch, despite being subjected to a barrage of blows.
It's not just strength that determines the outcome; weight and height are also extremely important in combat.
If it weren't for Kaslana's superhuman physical abilities, Kallen would probably have faced death countless times.
Kallen didn't learn Honkai energy to strengthen her body, so she naturally couldn't fight against the non-humans.
"Karen! Give up!" Otto suddenly stood up and shouted.
This action was noticed by all the nobles, and Otto realized something was wrong and looked at his father.
Nicholas's eyes gradually turned sinister and dangerous, like a vulture staring intently at the weak Otto.
Faced with such immense pressure, Otto's body trembled uncontrollably. He lowered his head, hesitated for a few seconds, then looked up again at Karen, who was curled up on the ground being beaten, and hysterically shouted: "I surrender!"
Such behavior is undoubtedly disloyal, especially given the nature of the duel and the inherent conflict between the two families. Otto's actions are tantamount to slapping Apocalypse in the face.
The castle lord looked at the cowardly but brave Otto with great interest and slowly uttered five words: "Interesting child."
"Patriarch" Arthur, unable to bear seeing Karen's state, turned to Francis and said, "If we help Miss Karen concede, at least she'll suffer less."
Chapter 8 Account Proxying
Francis remained silent.
The rules of a duel require the loser to concede, and no amount of help from close friends or family outside the arena can change that.
Of course, this rule posed no real threat to Francis; he was powerful enough that the law could not punish him.
If he does that, it would be tantamount to losing Kaslana's executive power and credibility.
This matter will inevitably be spread among other nobles. The Kaslana family head has openly defied the laws of destiny, which will affect Kaslana in the future.
“Things have come to this point. Since the other side has deployed Aikend, it means they’ve completely broken off relations. That’s not good.” Francis said calmly, but his composure seemed to conceal immense anger.
Captain of the Aikend Apocalypse family guard, almost the top combat force.
The duel was originally just a formality, but since the other side showed no mercy, it wasn't a good match.
“Bring Karen back, Arthur.”
“Master,” Arthur approached the dueling arena, “we acknowledge…”
Just as Arthur was about to announce his defeat, a new change occurred in the duel arena.
"Have you had enough?"
"?!"
Aikend looked down and saw that his ankle was being squeezed so tightly that he couldn't even press down with all his might.
A cracking sound came from my ankle bones, accompanied by a pain as if they were about to shatter.
Aikend had no choice but to pull his foot away and quickly retreat, staring intently at the man who had been lying motionless on the ground, seemingly at the mercy of his opponent.
Su Xin slowly sat up and twisted her neck.
"It really hurts."
Su Xin complained, "Always waiting until the girl faints, really, it would have been better to just give up sooner."
He insisted on staying conscious until he was beaten senseless and lost consciousness.
Kaslana's body was on the verge of collapse, and only she had the vitality to survive. Any other adult would have been dead long ago.
Aikend was utterly astonished to see Karen standing up despite her injuries.
"Wouldn't it be better to admit defeat sooner? You'd suffer less!" Aikend threatened.
Su Xin froze, seemingly talking to herself: "Is he threatening me?"
From an objective standpoint, it is indeed a threat.
From my perspective, I don't believe an ant poses any real threat to humanity, so I'll stop here and just go on to say something poetic like the weak begging for mercy and **.
"I like the way you insult people." Su Xin suddenly laughed, her whole demeanor lacking any fighting stance, appearing quite relaxed.
"Mmm! Let me stretch and relax." Su Xin stretched lazily like a kitten.
You're exaggerating.
Su Xin answered confidently: "I am paying tribute to the lawyers who defend their cases."
What is Karen doing?
Because of the distance, the audience couldn't hear the conversation on the court, but they could clearly sense that Karen wasn't talking to Aikend; she was talking to herself.
But stretching? ? ? 'His expression looks so eerie?'
"Yes, there are situations where one eye is turned off?" The audience was confused.
"Damn it, you asked for it!" Aikend roared in fury. How dare a little brat look down on him? He's a disgrace to the noble guards!
"The right horizontal punch is too slow." Su Xin smiled, then shrugged and dodged Aikend's attack with ease.
But there was no immediate counterattack. Such an opponent, not even half a Herrscher, is not worthy of being called an opponent.
"Damn it!" Aikend suddenly threw a quick straight punch.
Su Xin dodged to the side, keeping a distance so that her fist almost grazed him.
Take advantage of the long recovery time after a straight punch, use your hips to propel your lower leg and quickly push off to generate power.
In an instant, Aikend's left leg deformed, resulting in irreversible damage to his knee.
"Ugh! You!" Aikend cried out, kneeling on one knee, losing his height advantage.
"You've had your leg amputated and kicked. Congratulations, you can now openly live off women while sitting in a wheelchair. Also, please don't post anything like 'I heard pigs being slaughtered' from my childhood, okay?"
Su Xin's smile remained unchanged.
"Drink!" Aikend endured the pain, stood up, and stretched out his right hand to grab it.
Su Xin used a cross-arm technique to press Aikende's body down, followed by a knee strike to the lower abdomen and an elbow strike to the spine. As Aikende's head jerked upwards in reflex, Su Xin used her other hand to deliver a powerful elbow strike to Aikende's face.
The four-hit combo was executed flawlessly, so smoothly that even Francis on the sidelines couldn't see what had just happened.
Ultimate martial arts.
"Ugh," Aikend was knocked to the ground, struggling to breathe.
The spine is the main support of the human body and is prone to dislocation when subjected to severe blows.
The abdomen, including the area below the xiphoid process and above the navel, is densely populated with organs. A heavy blow to the abdomen will elicit a strong response from the body, such as difficulty breathing.
Su Xin walked up to Aikende unhurriedly: "Your fighting style is so simple, you weren't taking it seriously?"
Then Su Xin imitated Aikende's method, disdainfully reaching out and flicking with her index finger.
He taunted, "Don't let me bully the weak. It'll damage my reputation if word gets out. I'll give you three moves."
It's called humiliation, using someone else's moves to defeat them, and then saying, "Your moves are really good."
"How dare you insult me, you little brat!" Aikend roared, his anger fueling his battered body as he pounced like a hungry wolf.
"Okay, then I won't allow it."
Su Xin waved her hand, then delivered a spinning back kick to Aikend's right cheek; followed by a ground-touching spinning back kick to Aikend's right cheek; and finally, a sacrificial kick to Aikend's right cheek.
Because of the center of gravity, this combo was chosen, and it can compensate for the height difference to hit the desired parts.
This type of kick, if used with even a little force, can directly cause a person to faint or even die.
The self-sacrifice kick, in particular, has a long wind-up and is easy to miss; if it misses, you're doomed.
It requires users to have extremely high skill, speed, experience, and courage.
It's likely that Aikend was stunned by those two kicks and probably couldn't even react.
Su Xin ultimately held back; the real show is yet to come. Should we just have a light snack before the main course?
Seeing Aikend convulsing on the ground, Su Xin felt somewhat unsatisfied. After all, it had been so many years since anyone had fought him in close combat, and all his skills were about to go to waste.
"Don't be so fragile, stand up, I believe in you, you can do it, keep going!" Su Xin encouraged Aikend with a fist pump and a bright smile.
If you leave the people on the sidelines dumbfounded, are you afraid the other side will die too quickly?
"You shouldn't have pounced!"
Su Xin directly slapped him with her wrist, a move known as "big slap," and struck his right cheek.
"That's enough. You can't even remember my name. Go home and recover from your injuries. Oh, you might need to recover for the rest of your life. I wonder if Apocalypse is willing to spend a fortune to support a cripple like you."
Although life and death are predestined in the duel arena, Su Xin respects Karen.
When he possesses someone else's body, he follows that person's principles, such as Chi Yuan's steadfastness and Kallen's respect for life.
Aiken collapsed on the field, completely unconscious.
