Stacking [C21]

"Indeed! Get ready because I now will show you my magic!"

Immediately after advising Shu Himo to be ready, Ru Seji pointed his finger toward him and started the chant:

"I call upon thee,

The heat of an excruciating fire,

Fireball!"

A small red ball of fire started to generate in front Ru Seji's finger, barely 5cms of diameter; A moment later it immediately speeds up toward Shu Himo and, while Shu Himo escaped with [hopper], the moment it reaches the location where Shu Himo was, it exploded creating a small explosion of about 3 meters of radius.

"You see? This is the strength of magic spells. Do you like it?"

"Indeed, but it seems a bit impractical in a 1v1 battle, don't you think?"

"That depends on how you use it!" Said that Ru Seji immediately started dashing toward Shu Himo, while chanting again the spell; Shu Himo noticing his plan immediately used [Hopper] and jumped towards him, slashing toward him to make him stop the incantation. It was a mistake.

Ru Seji seeing Shu Himo dashing toward himself immediately jumped back while pointing his finger toward Shu Himo, where a small ball of fire started to gather and immediately speeds up toward Shu Himo, about to explode.

Shu Himo seeing his opponent's move knew that he had no more leeway to hold back and had to use something he did not want use: a stacked [Hopper].

The moment the ball of fire was about 30 centimeters from Shu Himo, he started creating a first [Hopper] in the ground, and immediately after he created a second [Hopper] on top of the first, this created a force of propulsion multiple times stronger than normal, literally sending Shu Himo flying.

*Crk*

The sound of something hitting and almost breaking the wall of the arena was heard, and a bloodied Shu Himo came out, 'How embarrassing, to damage myself with my own skill' thought Shu Himo.

While the stacked [Hopper] is way faster, it's way harder to control, Shu Himo can't remember how many times Dark King Dragon got angry at him due to this failure, and predicted that before Acupoint Opening phase he would keep failing at control it. But how could Shu Himo give up? If he doesn't learn to use this technique he will most likely lose this fight! Anyway, now that he already showed his embarrassing failure he was determined to resolve this problem in this fight!

Looking toward Ru Seji who was worried because the combat could end here Shu Himo felt like laughing, could you worry if I'm still alive instead?

"Let's continue and see who will win!" Hearing the phrase from Shu Himo, Ru Seji could not be happier and immediately started chanting another fireball.

Shu Himo, having decided to master the stacked [Hopper] in this fight, immediately started creating both [Hopper]s and instead of jumping toward Ru Seji, he jumped toward another wall, stomping on it, he immediately used again stacked [Hopper] to jump yet again toward another angle of the wall;

He repeated this many times, and each time he started to go faster until even Ru Seji could not follow him with his eyes anymore.

Seeing that he could not track him anymore, Ru Seji decided to shoot Fireballs randomly, as Shu Himo was going that fast it would be hard to dodge them! He indeed was right, but that is only if Shu Himo kept jumping on the walls: In fact, the moment Ru Seji started the chant, Shu Himo immediately changed the trajectory of the next jump towards Ru Seji!

Feeling an incoming threat, Ru Seji was about to move but Shu Himo was way too fast, he completely hit him with both legs sending him flying toward the wall!

*Crk*

The wall taking the hit from the flying body of Ru Seji almost broke completely, needing urgent maintenance!

Now completely tired and in pain everywhere, Ru Seji could not continue the fight to his sadness. But finding someone this strong could be a blessing! In the hidden remains if he could get the support of Shu Himo it could be extremely beneficial! After all, it's not only his sect that is going there, so the risk there is high.

"Hey... Shu Himo... can you wait a moment here? I need to ask my master one thing."

Shu Himo was extremely tired too so he did not mind waiting, still, he was puzzled about what he was going to ask "Sure" he would also sort out the System reward for the win streaks now. 'System, I will stop here, the quest is done right?'

[Quest Success: Show your strength with a win streak in the arena!]

[Quest Difficulty: C ~ A (Based on opponent)]

[Quest Reward: 1 BS points each 5 win streaks (Effective win streak: 25 wins.).]

[You now have 26 BS points!]

'Great, I can buy the next phase with these BS points.'

"There is no need to ask, I know what you want to say and I approve." suddenly a middle-aged man appeared at the side of Ru Seji, immediately healing his injuries. He then turned around and asked Shu Himo: "Are you interested in coming to a hidden remain with us? Come with us to the VIP resting room, I will then explain to you more in details."

"Sure." Appearing indifferent in the surface, Shu Himo was instead excited and happy in the inside: 'Is this the Hidden remain arc?' Fantasizing about the possible happenings inside the remains he followed behind the middle-aged man and Ru Seji leaving behind a traumatized audience.
