Chapter 42: Sword Heart

The two exchanged glances.

Roa stepped forward with his right foot, took a deep breath, and his right arm muscles bulged. In just an instant, the figures of the two disappeared.

Ten meters was still too close for the two of them. With Roa and Paul's physique, they could almost reach each other in the blink of an eye.

The wooden sword and the wooden sword collided, and Roa and Paul's first encounter was evenly matched.

But Roa's expression was serious. Don't look at Paul's usual carefree attitude. In fact, his fighting style was very dirty. Several times before, Paul had silently switched to the Water God Style swordsmanship, which caused Roa a lot of suffering.

Paul's Water God Style was also extremely powerful. Once an attack was blocked by Paul, he would face Paul's fatal blow.

Paul increased his strength, and Roa only felt an unspeakable force coming from the sword body, spreading from the sword body.

Roa's physical fitness was ultimately unable to compare with Paul's. Without the enhancement of magic power, he could only be suppressed by Paul.

Roa knew that he could no longer entangle with the other party. Fighting Paul for strength was undoubtedly seeking his own death.

He took a step back, and the wooden sword drew a semicircle, actually having a taste of using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds, forcibly unloading Paul's strength. A cold light flashed in Paul's eyes, and he suddenly stretched out his hand.

As for why he could reach out his hand when comparing swords, according to Paul's shameless rhetoric, this was a type of Water God Style.

Roa quickly retreated, and his right hand drew out the wooden sword, but Paul's hand grabbed empty. However, he still had a smile on his lips and quickly forced himself towards Roa.

Swordsmen, to a large extent, rely on momentum. This time, Roa secretly suffered a small loss, and facing Paul would become more difficult.

Paul flipped the wooden sword, and the wooden sword came towards Roa with a sound of breaking through the air.

Roa retreated again, his figure retreating again and again.

A flash of light flashed in Paul's eyes, and his speed actually increased again.

Roa had been guarding against Paul, and sure enough, the insidious Paul had kept a hand.

In fact, Roa had been at a great disadvantage from the beginning of this competition. Since Roa had completely crushed Paul with magic power a year ago, Paul had added a new rule that he was not allowed to use magic power to strengthen himself.

This meant that he had to completely surpass the other party in skill to win.

The wooden sword drew a line in the air, and the speed was unbelievably fast. This sword became larger and larger in Roa's eyes.

If he was hit by this sword, not to mention anything else, Roa would have to lie down for a while.

Roa's right hand suddenly swung out the wooden sword, actually planning to take this sword head-on.

At the moment when the swords collided, a powerful force was transmitted to Roa's body in an instant along the sword body.

Roa felt his tiger's mouth crack, and he almost couldn't hold the wooden sword.

Paul became more and more frightened as he fought. He didn't expect his son's physical fitness to be able to reach this level.

Rudeus, who was next to him, watched the figures of the two flashing, and the bursts of explosions from time to time in the air indicated that neither of them was holding back.

Roa grinned in pain and kicked Paul. Paul was quick-witted and dodged sideways. Roa took the opportunity to quickly retreat a few steps.

He changed the wooden sword from being held horizontally in his right hand to being held horizontally in his left hand.

He took another breath, and suddenly, Roa's aura changed dramatically.

Roa pressed the wooden sword in his waist with his left hand, and the Sword God Style drawing sword technique was ready to be launched.

His body leaned forward slightly, his center of gravity lowered, and the momentum of his whole body gathered together. Roa said seriously, "Father, I'm coming."

The majestic momentum gathered, and his left arm trembled slightly due to the huge force.

Suddenly, his right foot stepped out, and his figure almost disappeared in place in an instant.

Paul showed a strange smile. He held the wooden sword horizontally in his hand, and the Water God Style was used by Paul. He wanted to use this move to end Roa.

Roa didn't directly attack Paul, but quickly ran around Paul, looking for Paul's flaws.

The more Roa did this, the more the smile on Paul's lips grew.

The experience of a hundred battles was far from comparable to Roa's. Paul adjusted his position, squatted down to defend, and his eyes always stayed on the place where Roa passed.

"Left front?" Paul's hearing was extremely keen, and his awareness of the danger of battle was first-class. He quickly adjusted his position, always making sure that his back was not facing Roa.

Roa felt the beating of his heart in his body, his blood and magic power were unusually active, his thinking was unusually clear, and he felt the whistling wind. Roa suddenly shot.

He wasn't actually looking for Paul's flaws. The Sword God Style's accumulation of momentum couldn't be completed in a short time. He did this more in the hope that his sword momentum could reach its maximum. Every step Roa took forward, the momentum on his body became more solid.

When the momentum reached its peak, Roa suddenly rushed towards Paul.

Every step Roa took left a huge footprint on the ground. His left hand flipped the wooden sword, and the wooden sword suddenly shot out. The air made a loud bang. Paul could clearly feel the fierceness of the sword momentum in the boy's hand. Paul's eyes narrowed slightly, and he only saw a wooden sword getting closer and closer.

Instantly, Paul shot, and the wooden sword and the wooden sword collided again. The soil under Paul's feet was instantly crushed, and Paul's body began to retreat continuously.

Feeling the force coming from this terrifying slash, even Paul had to admit that the boy was very strong.

But it was only up to here.

When Paul had taken all of Roa's strength, it would be when Roa was defeated.

The Water God Style's counterattack was extremely terrifying.

Even Roa couldn't guarantee that he could take the opponent's counterattack.

But, who said he had to take the opponent's attack head-on?

Paul shot quickly at the moment when Roa's momentum gradually faded.

The sword momentum was as fast as thunder. This sword was extremely fast. Paul imagined that if Roa was only at this level, he still wouldn't be able to take this sword.

But under his ghostly expression, Roa actually took a small step to the right, but it was precisely this small step that just dodged Paul's slash. The wooden sword brushed past Roa's clothes.

[Sword Heart (Level 1): Passive Skill]

[Characteristics: All swordsmanship attacks are increased by 10%, swordsmanship comprehension is slightly increased, and there is a chance to trigger insight in duels]

[Insight: See through the opponent's next attack]

This was a skill that Roa suddenly realized when practicing swordsmanship half a year ago.

The skill description that there is a chance to trigger insight is not entirely based on luck, relying on that little probability.

When the enemy's strength is closer or weaker, or when the battle is more intense, the state of insight will be easier to trigger.

Paul's counterattack was fast, there was no doubt about it.

He believed that no one could react, even if there was, it was not the current Roa who could react.

At the moment when Paul shot, Roa's wooden sword smashed towards Paul's back.

Then he was hit solidly and fell straight to the ground, face down.
