Chapter 60: Jie En

The two weapons continued to clash together, but it was

clear that the battle was taking its toll on the combatants’ bodies, as well as

the stage. The stage, designed to be impervious to those at the Absorption

level, was starting to break down as well.

Chunks of stone flew off of the stage, some pieces even

began to fly into the lower levels of the stands.

Actually, the audience couldn’t even see the finer details

of the fight anymore. At the center of the stage, all they could see was a

tornado of fire in which some blurred images were knocking into each other in

time to the sound of clashing weapons.

However, although they couldn’t really see the fight, they

knew just how incredible the fight was.

It was two fighters under 15 years of age who were causing

such a scene!

Up in the royal box, the ministers watched, flabbergasted.

“Have we seen a fight like this… ever?”

“Yes, but it’s been many years… if this is anything to go

by, it really seems that this will be the best rookie battalion the Burning

Legion has had in a while.”

“Mm. It’s a pity, however, that Jie En had to provoke Jia

Yuan to such an extent…While Jie En’s strength is very good, he’s two years

older than Jia Yuan. His potential is much lower. Furthermore, if he has that

kind of condescending attitude…”

“Are you saying what I think you are?”

“Mm. We sacrifice Jie En if it comes to it. Someone with his

temperament isn’t going to be a good officer. Besides, the Jie family has been

on the downfall for quite a while now. It won’t hurt us much. Jia Yuan has Guo

Huo backing him. You know what that means.”

“I see. You’re right. His majesty seems intent on helping

this Jia Yuan kid…”

As the ministers discussed the fighters below, Jia Yuan was

starting to become impatient. After all, he had the strength to easily dispose

of Jie En, but he didn’t want to show his true power.

And so, he kept fighting with his cultivation suppressed. Jie

En was at a constant disadvantage, even with Jia Yuan suppressing his aura.

However, his axe was far superior to HiRyu. If HiRyu could be valued at a few

thousand large fire shards, Jie En’s axe could be valued at a few million! The

difference between the two weapons was that of heaven and earth!

After another few minutes of fighting, Jie En finally began

to lose steam. He had a high level Song, and it cost him a great deal of mental

endurance to keep fighting with the aid of his Song. However, if he didn’t

fight with his Song, he would be no more than a talented foot soldier. He would

be instantly trampled by Jia Yuan’s power!

He grit his teeth and did his best to disregard his mental

exhaustion. However, he soon began to feel sharp jabs of pain in his head.

Furthermore, he began to see a dark sea…

He looked at Jia Yuan, who wasn’t even breathing hard, and

felt regret in his heart. Why did he have to be so boastful in front of this

monster? Aish…

Jia Yuan relentlessly forced Jie En back. He knew that Jie

En couldn’t possibly hold on for much longer.

A few blows later, and Jie En fell to his knees, unable to

fight any longer. Not only did he not have any mental strength left, but he had

exerted all of his physical energy as well.

All he was now was a breathing punching bag.

“I… forfeit…” Jie En managed to force out these words.

“I won’t accept your forfeit unless you promise to apologize

to apologize to all of the commoners of the Burning Legion for looking down on

them.”

Jie En shut his eyes and grimaced. He could promise this,

but he would be unable to recover any face!

His body shuddered as he thought about it. Finally, he

replied. “Fine.” After saying this, he continued to lie on the stage, unable to

move.

Jia Yuan walked off of the stage and asked a guard for the

directions to the medical center. Upon receiving directions, he headed to the

medical center.

Looking around, he saw thousands of wounded combatants.

There were simply too many people, and the conditions in the medical center

were shady at best.

Jia Yuan felt a pit forming in his stomach. Even if Dou Di

was fine when he arrived at the medical center, Jia Yuan wouldn’t be surprised

if his brother’s condition had worsened by being here.

He quickly pulled over a nurse and explained who he was

looking for. The nurse offered to lead Jia Yuan to his brother, and he

accepted.

Walking through the rows of the injured, Jia Yuan spotted

his older brother.
