The Preparation Before the Start

Zhao Yao's attention was first brought to Ares's abilities. The two ability branches were:

Tenacity Increase: Increase the tenacity of the deflective field, hence allowing the user to disperse the impact of the attack.

Shock Blow: Any opponent which comes into contact with the field would be dealt with a shocking blow, hence increasing its strength.

These two skills were the exact opposite. One would increase the defensive capability of deflective field while the other would increase the offensive capability.

Zhao Yao whispered to himself, "Tenacity increase will improve my defense significantly." Zhao Yao had always preferred to err on the side of caution, prompting him to go for the safer option. Furthermore, it would be recommended to stay on the defense during the upcoming competition to prevent any opponents from exposing his powers.
