BXBX NOVEL Chapter 890 - Difference In...
Not only was the outer layer of the icicles enhanced by moonlight mana, but Jason had even used a tiny influx of divine energy to do the same.
It was reinforced with the icicles\' freezing properties.
Yet, in the end, Jason didn\'t even use a tenth of his entire mana or divine energy to attack, clearly showing how much mana and divine energy he had accumulated over time.
The first volley of blazing icicles blasted towards Lex, as it exploded in front of him.
It created an explosion as the surrounding was enveloped in a cloud of smoke preventing the youth from seeing anything.
Thus he used his senses to perceive the following attack while utilizing his powerful wind affinity to dispel the smoke all around him.
Following that, he launched a counterattack without hesitation, using his affinity to manifest hundreds of wind blades that shot towards Jason\'s blazing icicles.
It only took him a minute to clearly perceive this, and Jason began to move using the Hermes Celebration movement technique while simultaneously controlling the blazing icicles in precision.
Countering the wind blades of Lex, he used some to attack the youth directly.
Some of his blazing icicles were used as a decoy, causing another huge cloud of smoke to appear around them. Meanwhile, some of the others were mainly meant to injure his opponent greatly.
He allowed the outer layer of ice to explode, as it turned into countless ice shards that were dangerously cold, freezing their opponent the moment they reached Lex.
However, that was not the main issue that occurred after the icy layer of the blazing icicles exploded because Solaris\' flames were the biggest threat Lex had to face now.
Nonetheless, not a single means of attack could be underestimated.
No matter whether it was a simple distraction, a decoy without a single additional effect, or the blazing icicles with two different means to injure their opponents, Lex had to keep his guard up.
Owing to Jason\'s variety of skills, even Lex, whose battle experience was much greater than Jason expected it to be, was struggling to come up with a good attack strategy.
After all, he didn\'t expect Jason to have two elemental affinities, one affinity that seemed to act as a support to everything involving mana, and a perfectly purified type of energy that was several times stronger than Soul force.
This was simply madness, causing Lex to lose his upper hand against Jason as he manifested hundreds of wind blades hastily.
Thus, they were not stable enough to face the blazing icicles head-on.
They barely destroyed some of them, while the remaining ones only lost their outer layer of ice.
Taking multiple factors into consideration, Lex was certainly facing a downfall.
Everyone who was watching the spar could see that the huge advantage the youth had initially gained was slowly evaporating into thin air.
Jason had begun to counterattack for real only now, and Elder Ben couldn\'t help but feel delighted.
It was the first time for Elder Ben to see Lex in a prickly situation like this, completely overwhelmed after being at an advantage.
\'If they continue to spar with Jason, their combat prowess will soar. This young man… his fighting style changes quite fast, and he has yet to initiate a soul fusion with his soulbond too. Jan said something about his eyes, but it doesn\'t look like Jason is using his special trait actively right now!\'
It was only obvious for Elder Ben to be intrigued about the newcomer.
After all, he had to be vigilant of him, so as to prevent spies from entering the city. It may not be forbidden for an Agran who was under a soul contract with other foreign races to live in the city, but they had to be reported.
This was important in order to ensure the safety of the city.
It would be stupid to reveal secrets to someone, who might betray you anytime, even if this someone did not do it intentionally!
With that in mind, Elder Ben should have been vigilant of Jason as per the advice received by the Lord of Liun.
However, he had been so engrossed in watching the sparrings intently that he had completely forgotten about the task he was given.
Instead, he was trying to figure out how Jason might be helpful to improve the sorry state of his Elites current combat prowess.
All of them had great combat experience and high cultivation talent, but they were still missing a little bit when compared to Jason.
This little bit was something he hoped to obtain through Jason, who had retracted Artemis\' wings. Byakur was touching Lex\'s neck, and a dozen fireballs were hovering close to the vital points of his body.
The fireballs were ready to explode and injure Lex the moment he was to do something stupid, but that didn\'t happen.
Accepting his defeat, Lex took a deep breath the moment Jason lifted Byakur.
Smiling lightly, Jason had to agree that Lex was a formidable force.
However, he had limited himself to using just one martial art technique, even if it was quite versatile, and changing movement sequences.
Jason was similar, but he couldn\'t really rely on the Bladed Ruyi Bang technique, to begin with.
As such, he was using every single bit of experience and techniques he had learned and seen by others in order to fight in a versatile manner.
This was what allowed him to win relatively easily without the need to use his curses, the abyssal effect, or the soul fusion.
Nevertheless, it had been a great fight, and by grasping Lux\'s hand, he helped the youth to get up.
"You did great. I hope we can spare some time again in the future!"
By saying this, Jason implied that he wanted to stay in Liun for some time, but that shouldn\'t be much of an issue.
At least he felt like that.
However, when he let go of Lex\'s hand,, Jason turned around to look at Jennifer\'s spar.? He half-heartedly listened to the youth who was thanking him genuinely, before attempting to start a conversation.
For a short moment, he had forgotten about her fight because the fight against Lex had made him focus on his opponent.
Yet, seeing the spar that didn\'t seem to be over yet, Jason couldn\'t help but flinch.
Jennifer was giving her utmost efforts to fight against Lars, the short youth, who had challenged her earlier.
Lars\' overall size seemed to have increased by a lot, and he was enveloped in a tight armor that looked like a bear who was set on fire with dark, blazing flames.
However, the flames that seemed to be embedded in the armor were semi-translucent and flickered brightly.
But that was something Jason couldn\'t care less about right now because Lars was not giving Jennifer a single chance to retreat or to take a breather.
She was being forced to fight Lars head-on which was nearly impossible owing to his overbearing strength, and the fact that his wandering soul armor was enhancing his physical strength even more.
After all, he was at the Low Ascendion stage, and his wandering soul armor was doubling his strength.
Thus, it was only obvious that Jennifer would lose if she didn\'t have a trump card that allowed her to do the same, or even more than double her strength.
Unfortunately, she didn\'t possess such a thing, which Lars couldn\'t care less about as he aggressively attacked and injured Jennifer.
"Elder, I hope your healers are as good as these youth\'s combat experience, otherwise one of your prodigies will be reduced to trash from today onwards." Jason commented without bothering to look at Elder Ben, his eyes flaring in anger.
His mood was clearly visible as his Celestia aura was directly representing his mood.
Meanwhile, faint reddish threads were changing the pure Celestia aura.
Suddenly, just when the battle ended, the entire arena became void of mana.
Jennifer landed on the ground, panting and bleeding due to several deep cuts.
Not a single mana particle was left behind, as every last particle was pulled by Jason by a suction force.
His entire being was glowing in a golden colour that was mixed with a grotesque dark-red color that was also visible in his blazing eyes.
