Insanity

The moment the referee's hand dropped to signal the start of the match, Leo immediately exploded forward, a menacing glare in his eyes.

WOOOSH—

Jiang Gu barely had time to react before Leo was already on him.

Leo didn't use any fancy techniques for this fight, not because he did not have confidence in performing them, but simply because he did not need to.

His combat knowledge and experience ran deeper than just skill moves and weapons mastery, as his battle IQ was quite high too.

At his best, he did not need to rely on any fancy moves to defeat his opponent, as more likely than not, he could usually read them like an open book.

"Not today—" Jiang Gu declared as he saw Leo descending upon him from the top, as he swung his sword in a quick, practiced arc, activating a mana-infused slash aimed straight at Leo's ribs—

But Leo read it like an open book.

He didn't dodge. He didn't flinch.
