In that night shrouded by a drizzle as fine as silk, the tavern in the small town became the focal point of countless gazes. Jamie Smith, the young warrior, stood at the railing on the third floor of the tavern, his eyes like torches, staring at the approaching figure in cyan. His heart pounded in his chest, each beat like a war drum beating, heralding the imminent intense duel.

"Ray Cloud is charging in," the murmurs of the audience surged like a tide, filled with anticipation and tension.

"Wow, they're about to engage," a young voice rang out among the crowd, tinged with uncertainty.

"Ray Cloud and Jamie Smith are about to clash," another voice followed, with a hint of reverence.

"The match has just begun, and the two bosses are about to face off? Is it going to be this intense already?" an audience member couldn't help but exclaim, his voice trembling as if he had foreseen the impending fierce collision.

"I feel like my scalp is exploding, I dare not breathe, Jamie Smith better not lose in one move," a nervous female voice rose from the crowd, her tone full of worry.

"The outcome of this semi-final match depends on their duel!" an experienced viewer said solemnly, his voice carrying a note of determination.

At this moment, every corner of the small town seemed to be filled with a tense atmosphere, and everyone was waiting for that moment to arrive.

Ray Stone, the former owner of the fighting hall, was watching the match with his daughter. There was a smile in his eyes, as if reminiscing about the past. He knew that this battle was not just a simple duel for him, but also a rebirth for his younger martial brother.

On the other side, Jamie Smith's family was also watching nervously. Their eyes were filled with worry, but also with a glimmer of anticipation.

"Can our son win?" Jamie Smith's mother asked anxiously, her voice trembling.

"It's a bit risky," Hugh Smith replied nervously, his eyes tightly fixed on the screen, as if trying to find a glimmer of hope for victory.

"The engagement has begun!" Jamie Smith's grandfather exclaimed excitedly, his eyes wide with excitement.

At this moment, the entire small town seemed to be enveloped in a tense atmosphere, and everyone was waiting for that moment to arrive.

Jamie Smith stood at the railing on the third floor of the tavern, his gaze resolute. He knew that this battle was not just a simple duel for him, but also an opportunity to prove himself.

With a sudden push from his feet, the tavern floor cracked beneath him, and his body turned into a blurry dark red figure, rushing out of the tavern. His speed was so fast that it seemed to tear the air apart.

He took only two steps, rushing down from the third floor of the tavern, which was about eight meters high, to the three-meter-high courtyard wall in the first step, and then in the second step, he rushed to the cyan figure running on the rooftop in the distance.

His momentum was so fierce that it seemed to make the heavens and the earth tremble. His body traced an elegant arc in the air, like a meteor streaking across the night sky, carrying endless light and power.

"Such a fierce young man," Ray Cloud thought, feeling the bloody wind in his face as Jamie Smith charged with his spear. "Can't fight force with force!"

Ray Cloud was not the type to go the route of strength. The evolution method he chose, the panther evolution method, was relatively the weakest in terms of strength. He was only wearing a thin cloth, and his two blades were also very thin. He was pursuing the path of 'speed,' seeking the ultimate speed.

As Jamie Smith charged in with extreme ferocity, Ray Cloud's figure flickered, blurring into a curve, evading Jamie Smith's attack.

"Boom."

Jamie Smith's spear pierced through the courtyard wall, and the spinning force of the spear caused the entire wall to explode, with countless fragments of stone rolling all over the street. Jamie Smith also landed on the street.

Standing in the center of the stone street, Jamie Smith held his spear and looked at the cyan figure.

"Moves that can't hit the opponent are useless," Ray Cloud also walked onto the street, looking at Jamie Smith, his eyes burning with intense battle intent.

"Does Ray Cloud only know how to dodge? As time goes on, the entire battle map will continue to shrink, and Ray Cloud won't be able to keep dodging," Jamie Smith looked at him.

"Ha ha? Dodge?"

Ray Cloud moved.

Whoosh.

His figure blurred like a ghost, instantly appearing in front.

"Boom." What greeted him was a spear shadow! The spear shadow was like an arrow, instantly piercing towards the cyan figure.

"I'm not as fast as you, but can my spear speed not keep up with your movement speed?" Jamie Smith was extremely confident, a series of spear shadows flickering, covering an area in front. In an instant, there was the sound of clanging as he thrust more than ten spears! Ray Cloud's face was stern, and he blocked more than ten spears with a single blade.

Boom!

The thrust-out spear suddenly turned into a collapsing spear. In the moment of defense, the force of the blast made Ray Cloud's face change, and his body was forced to fly backward. He stepped on the ground and landed on the roof to stabilize his posture.

"Ray Cloud, if you keep holding only one blade, I will definitely pierce you to death within dozens of moves!" Jamie Smith looked at Ray Cloud, his aura fierce.

Just a dozen spears had completely suppressed Ray Cloud.

Jamie Smith said this with full confidence.

"Ha ha ha... It seems I really can't underestimate you." Ray Cloud also pulled out another blade from behind with his left hand. With dual blades in hand, the threat was naturally different.

...

"Wow."

"Awesome, awesome."

"Jamie Smith said he would definitely pierce Ray Cloud to death within dozens of moves... It seems Ray Cloud has to use dual blades."

"The gap wasn't that big, right? Those who said he would be killed in one move before, underestimated Jamie Smith too much. If he is careless, Jamie Smith will knock Ray Cloud out."

"The upcoming battle is going to be more intense."

Countless spectators were all staring at this battle, and few paid attention to Emily Johnson and Quincy Shawn chasing and killing the other four members of Ray Cloud's team. It's really because this battle is the most peak duel in the entire Fire Seed Cup competition so far.

Although Ray Willow is stronger, Ray Willow defeated Celia Green too easily, killing with a single punch, which is less exciting.

I didn't expect that this battle, with not much of a gap, is much more intense, and both sides need to give their all.

...

Ray Cloud held the dual blades and also carefully observed Jamie Smith: "This Jamie Smith, judging from his spear technique just now, is probably very close to passing the third level of the Star Tower, and may be able to pass it in a few days. The gap between him and me is not that big."

"But in this way, it's more interesting." Ray Cloud moved, and attacked again.

Jamie Smith held the spear and stood in the center of the stone street. When the opponent attacked close, he suddenly thrust out the spear.

Jamie Smith's spear technique has achieved a high level in terms of speed. The creation of the "Invisible Thrust" is a proof. Although he doesn't dare to use the Invisible Thrust at the moment, because the Invisible Thrust gives up defense and doesn't leave any effort. Once the execution fails, the opponent can take the opportunity to counter-kill.

Ray Cloud's reaction is too fast, and the defense is too fast. Jamie Smith must have enough confidence to use the Invisible Thrust.

Of course, ordinary thrusts... Jamie Smith is also very fast. This is the basic move he has been practicing since he was a child.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."

The air screamed, and a series of spear shadows were thrust out one after another, one move after another, continuously.

Masters usually exert seven points of effort and leave three points of effort to continue to display the next move. One move after another... even if one move fails, another move immediately follows. Let the enemy unable to find a flaw.

"Clang, clang, clang." Ray Cloud rushed to the front, and the dual blades made moves, each move was extremely fast.

The blade light was elusive! It was unpredictable!

Jamie Smith was extremely brave: "The spear against the dual blades, I have an advantage in the weapon itself. Ray Cloud dare not get close, because when getting close, my spear will pierce his body. He must break my spear technique, break the spear technique to get close."

Progress thrust! Progress, and then progress! The spear head danced, and it was thrust out again and again, occasionally circling to defend an area.

Ray Cloud's dual blades kept making moves, and even the occasional threatening knife was defended by Jamie Smith's circle gun.

"Boom, boom, boom."

Jamie Smith suppressed the opponent's retreat, and the spear was thrust out one after another. Ray Cloud dodged, and the spear was stabbed on a street courtyard wall, and the courtyard wall directly exploded.

It was another collapsing sweep, and Ray Cloud dodged again

. This sweep was swept on a nearby street shop, and the entire shop collapsed and exploded under this spear, and a large amount of stone fragments splashed towards Ray Cloud's direction. Ray Cloud dodged back while displaying the knife technique to block the stone fragments.

...

"What's going on? Why does Ray Cloud seem to have no advantage at all?"

"Jamie Smith is fierce instead, chasing and killing all the way, every move is fierce, it seems to be dismantling the street."

"Is the building of this ancient town map so fragile? A spear pierces a shop building and it collapses and explodes?"

"I have tested on the map, I am a silver moon level player, the evolution method is the initial stage, and I exerted full force to hit hundreds of times, and only made a hole in the wall. This ancient brick and stone building is still very durable. Those wooden buildings are easier to destroy. In a word - it's not that the building is fragile, it's that Jamie Smith is fierce!"

"It's fierce, like a bulldozer, every spear thrust is like a shell."

Countless audience comments are rolling.

"How do I feel hopeful for victory?" May Lee watched nervously, feeling suffocated, "Jamie has been dominant."

"Is Ray Cloud's counterattack against Jamie too blind?" Finn Brown thought while watching.

At this moment, on the stands, Ray Willow was also watching this duel: "Ray Cloud, he was able to pass the third level of the Star Tower, relying on his footwork! If he doesn't exert his footwork advantage, relying solely on the dual blade technique... he can't win my apprentice at all."

...

Being chased and attacked by Jamie Smith, Ray Cloud finally couldn't help it: "Jamie Smith is a spear, and the spear has an advantage over the dual blades. My dual blade technique is at 47% of the third stage, and I don't have an advantage with just the blade technique. Well, it's been a great fight, and I've honed my blade technique."

"Then let's end the battle." Ray Cloud's eyes turned cold, and he turned into a cyan shadow, rushing straight at Jamie Smith.

Jamie Smith, as usual, fiercely thrust a spear that howled and rotated.

If it were before, Ray Cloud would display the blade technique to block, but this time...

Ray Cloud's figure flickered, and he began to walk around Jamie Smith, sometimes about to pounce close, sometimes changing direction and surrounding. Jamie Smith's spirit immediately became tense, carefully watching around: "What kind of footwork is this?"

A person, circling around oneself at a distance of several meters, out of reach of one's spear! The other party's footwork changes, and there is no need to make a knife. It makes Jamie Smith extremely nervous.

Because as long as there is a slight flaw in oneself, and the other party succeeds in getting close, a knife can kill oneself.

"Hoo."

Ray Cloud felt the wind surrounding his body, and he was walking in the wind, sometimes speeding up, sometimes stopping, sometimes changing direction, sometimes attacking... Everything is done as he pleases, without any deliberateness, and it has become an instinct. The footwork is unpredictable, and the whole person seems to be a gust of wind circling around Jamie Smith.

"Ray Cloud's knife is light and agile." Ray Willow watched from the stands, "For a light and agile knife or sword technique, seventy percent of the strength depends on the footwork. As long as you can get close to the knife and sword attack range, one knife can take away the enemy."

"Jamie Smith will lose if he makes a slight mistake now." Ray Willow said, "My good apprentice, Ray Cloud who displays footwork is the real Ray Cloud."
