"Turns out that Agnes is one of the Amber Faction. I never knew that before," Ricky murmured.
......
"Boom! Boom!"
The momentum of the two warriors surged out, and with it, the tense atmosphere of the battlefield suddenly rose to the extreme, spreading to the whole square. Heads were turning, and necks were craning.
All the way from below the battlefield, the outer disciples' yells could be heard.
"Agnes, how about this? I'll let you make first three moves and I won't fight back at all!" Weldon said condescendingly, looking down at Agnes.
But his arrogance made sense. Although both Agnes and Weldon were among the top ten outer disciples, there still was a huge gap between them, because Agnes ranked only sixth while Weldon ranked the third.
Agnes ignored Weldon's arrogant mockery. On her delicate and slender hands, the strong spiritual energy of water nature had emerged, glowing in a pale blue color that matched the hue of her dress.
In a snap, Agnes suddenly appeared in front of Weldon with the speed of a fish shooting across the water, and gave him a forceful slap.
Whoa! The sound of roaring waves erupted from behind Agnes's palms. The pale blue spiritual energy had turned into actual waves, power surging on Agnes's palms.
"Overlapping Wave Palm - Quadruple Waves!"
With this shout, Agnes's right palm transformed into four mighty hands, dispersing and blending with each other. They then smashed violently into Weldon's face.
"This is Overlapping Wave Palm, one of Agnes' strongest moves!" Some disciples exclaimed.
"She used the Quadruple Waves as her first move. It appears that Agnes intends to kill Weldon with a single blow! He must be regretting the condescending offer he made her. After all, this is a fierce attack!"
......
As they had guessed, Weldon's face grew dark. He had never anticipate that Agnes would exert all her energy on her first attempt.
In the face of Agnes giving her full force, even though he was marvelously strong at the Skin Refinement, Weldon was clearly aware that he couldn't take her fierce attack without fighting back.
But, he had audibly made an public promise, so he could do nothing but try his best to avoid Agnes's first three moves for the meantime.
And so, when the Quadruple Waves Palm smashed into him, Weldon spun around as fast as he could to avoid the blow. However, this particular power was flexible and fluid, as the spiritual energy of water was.
The moment he tried to avoid it, the Quadruple Waves Palm abruptly changed its track.
It bombarded the edge of Weldon's right shoulder, tearing up the cloth on his shoulder and injuring him badly. Now Weldon was bleeding profusely.
"Boom!" Before he could recover from the pain on his shoulder, Agnes let forth her second attack, once again using the Quadruple Waves Palm.
This time, Weldon didn't choose to stand still awaiting his demise. He also threw a punch, dissolving Agnes's fierce attack.
But knowing the shame of what he had done, Weldon's face darkened with anger.
"You seem to have broken your promise. This is only the second move, and it is just as powerful as the first one!" Agnes quipped, unsurprised at his reaction.
"Boo!"
"Shame!"
Many disciples around the battlefield showed their contempt at Weldon for breaking his arrogant promise.
Hearing the sounds of disdain, Weldon fumed with rage and extreme embarrassment. He roared indignantly, "Agnes, if I get my hands on you, I will make you beg for death!"
