Chapter 706: Unexpected Warrior

706 Unexpected Warrior

Looking at the two students, the main disciples in front of him, it was almost as if Crine didn't believe what he was seeing. He lifted his hands again, aiming to raise the visual water Qi and take them both out from either side.

Quickly though, Mada acted as he could see the location of where the Qi was trying to lift up. Moving his own set of hands, he was controlling the water flow and moving about in the air as if he was practicing some type of martial technique to stop it from rising.

"I guess it wasn't a fluke that you managed to achieve that for the first time, but it won't matter too much," Crine said, as he lifted his hands again. This time, around two meters out from where the two were standing, the water had risen in the air.

The spirals of water then went forward, and because it was out of range from where Mada could control his own visual Qi, he couldn't stop it from rising. It didn't matter though.

Mada quickly pushed himself forward and dragged his foot across the ground. In doing so, a wave of water flowed behind his leg as he lifted it and kicked both of the spirals, exploding the water on the spot.

"I might not be at the middle stage, but do you really think I'm just going to lose out to your visual Qi? I'm a main disciple as well. Don't underestimate me!" Mada screamed.

The leg kick wasn't just to stop the attack; it was twofold as Mada had produced his own wave of water. It was a means of distraction, and Ricktor had jumped up above, swinging his sword down right above.

Just like before, Ricktor had gathered plenty of his Qi in the strike, and the heat coming from the sword could be seen through the air as it distorted behind him.

He swung it, and Crine lifted up his arm. As he did, water wrapped around his arm, and the sword and his arm clashed. Large amounts of Qi dispersed out, and the water was still constantly moving in circles around Crine's arm.

"I thought that only my son was an idiot, but it looks like you are as well," Crine commented as he raised his other hand in the air. Just like that, water started to spiral around it as well.

"Did you really think that I could only use my visual Qi, that I was trying to make this a long-distance fight, that I can't fight straight ahead!" Throwing his other fist, it went straight into Ricktor's stomach.

A ripple of water shot out in a circle in the area, exploding to the side. Mada had jumped and managed to catch Ricktor, but the powerful force still continued to hit both of them, moving them back.

"While you're holding on to him, you might have forgotten about something," Crine said.

Mada felt his back smash against something heavy, but it wasn't a wall. He could hear the sound of rushing water, and taking a peek back, a large wave had occurred.

Then from right underneath their feet, a rush of water hit them both. Mada let go of Ricktor, and a powerful jet stream of water flipped both of their bodies in the air until eventually both of them fell straight to the ground, landing on the floor.

They hadn't even landed in a puddle of water but only on the hard floor.

"You are skillful to have learned such a thing so fast," Crine said as he continued to walk forward. "But I knew that a simple thing would break your concentration, making it so you would forget certain things. You couldn't handle protecting your friend and controlling your visual Qi at the same time. You just don't have enough experience."

Mada lifted his head up from the ground, and so did Ricktor. The two of them had been hurt by the jet of water underneath their feet more than they thought. Because it wasn't just water, it was visual Qi that had entered their bodies, hurting the inside as well as the outside.

"Do you have any other plans?" Mada asked, as he could see Ricktor was propping himself up from the floor.

He had also been directly hit, but as a middle-stage warrior, Ricktor was able to withstand more punishment. However, he had also been fighting longer than Mada had, who was getting up from the floor slightly after him.

"Remember when we were in that underground assessment?" Ricktor said, fully standing up and firmly holding onto his sword. "At the time, we were all in the same position. Our lives were on the line every day. The only thing we could do was evolve quicker than ever, gain more strength during the situation, and that's the only solution here: to grow stronger in a short amount of time to overcome the situation we are in."

Mada clicked his tongue. It was easier said than done, and to put it simply, Ricktor didn't have any plan at all.

"You might think I had no plan, but he did. He seems to do it every single time," Ricktor said. "Think back to the first time we fought him. We were nowhere near as strong as we are now. The us now could have beaten the Raze in the past, yet Raze has also continued to grow."

Crine, hearing everything, started to laugh.

"I admit, it would be quite a spectacle to see how you two would have grown. Many would call you the great future of the Dark Faction. When we were your age, we definitely weren't as strong as you are now. Perhaps someday, you all could have surprised us, but that was if you stuck to the rules and didn't get ahead of yourselves."

"There is a time and place for everything, and your time isn't now!" Crine jumped from his position, a large wave of water splitting from his feet. He lifted his leg up and was ready to strike down on the two of them, finishing them in a single blow.

The radius of the attack that Crine was planning meant it didn't matter if they ran, as his leg swung down through. He saw a large heavy figure walking through the water and getting right in the way.

He was in the middle of his attack, so there was no way to stop, and Crine just swung his leg down. The water that was on the ground practically vanished from the force of the attack, pushing it far off until it completely disappeared.

"What is this? Who stopped my attack?" Crine thought as he pulled his leg away and landed on the ground, and then he could see that it wasn't someone but something.

Ricktor, looking at who had come to their aid, was also surprised.

"Stoney... why is he... he is always with her, so then what happened to Safa?"
