Chapter 53 - Change Of Plans
"It was you who assumed it by yourself! And you're not wrong that I am a newbie, however I had already mastered the foundation techniques a long time ago." Randy said in indifference to him.
After saying so, while taking advantage of the other party's disorientation due to his punch to the other party's chin, Randy abruptly charged forward.
However, this Baby Sword Master was no pushover as he gritted his teeth and quickly unleashed a desperate slash infused with a wisp of sword aura towards the approaching Randy.
Wizz—
When Randy noticed this, he stopped midway through his charge and then fully unleased his comprehension of the Gale Riding skill to barely dodge this deadly approaching attack.
Even though he managed to dodge it at the last moment, however, right now, there was a cut on his left cheek, with blood spilling down his face from the wound.
Seeing the blood trickling down his face, he wiped it with the thumb of his left hand, observe it for moment and then muttered: "Interesting, so that was your sword technique?"
Realizing that the other party had gotten serious, Randy did not want to hold back anymore and decided to go all out on this Baby Sword Master.
Whoosh!
He abruptly vanished from his position, quickly appearing in front of Baby Sword Master, who was catching his breath as he propped himself up with his sword after the attack he unleashed just now.
Randy simply did not care about whether the other party was unprepared for his attack, as that only meant that he had less things to worry about when facing him.
After he approached the other party, he only clenched his fist, and then he rained down consecutive punches all over Baby Sword Master's body without giving him a chance to react at all this time.
BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!
A series of dull but heavy sounds resounded in the background of the combat arena.
Randy did not want to give the other party a chance to unleash their sword technique again, which was really dangerous if it were to connect with him.
And with that thought in mind, when he approached Baby Sword Master just now, the first thing that he punched was the hand that was holding on to the handle of his sword, this in turn knocked the sword away from the other party's grasp.
At this point, the other party was defenseless, if not because of their expensive equipment, they would have already dropped to the ground a long time ago.
After getting the hang of the fist technique, Randy then charged his fists with his magical energy, and he immediately threw a single punch from a distance at the other party's face.
Boom!
[Void Wave Punch]
As he threw this punch, there were waves of air current surging towards the other party's head.
Randy then threw another punch with his other hand that was also charged with magical energy.
BOOM!
[Void Rippling Punch]
As he threw this punch, those waves in the atmosphere suddenly turned in ripples in the air which then turned in shockwaves a moment later.
And when this shockwave reached Baby Sword Master's head or more like his entire body, It pervaded his body through the holes in his armor and through the various pores on his body, which then shook the insides of his body, causing his internal organs to stir violently thus eliciting an unbearable painful sensation throughout his entire body.
Followed by his brain receiving severe damage due to the residue shockwaves that struck his head, eventually falling to ground with a 'thud' sound and then losing consciousness before he suddenly turned into sprites of light, disappearing from the combat arena shortly afterwards.
He did not even get the chance to scream before disappearing from this virtual world altogether.
Luckily, this was only a virtual world, so he would not get hurt physically, however this attack will most likely affect his mental state, meaning possibly even affecting him in the real world, that is if he has a weak mental state.
A short moment later, the virtual system announced…
<Blood Venerable Fist God had achieved victory against Baby Sword Master>
Before Randy could smile in delight over his achievement, another notification suddenly popped up in front of his eyes, this time, it was not from the virtual system.
This was from his own personal system's display.
[[You have fought and overwhelmingly defeated your opponent in combat, thus obtaining 400 Knowledge Points]]
The system announced to him.
"…"
Randy was speechless by this turn of events.
And then he muttered shortly after: "What the hell! That was possible? Why didn't you tell me before this?"
Randy complained to the system when he read the line of text from the notification.
However, he soon fell silent and immediately began to ponder to himself after realizing something crucial.
'Wait, wait, wait, hold on a minute. If that is the case, then isn't this place a treasure trove for me to harvest? No, more like a farm to harvest my knowledge points from without the need to even risk my life in the Beast Forest.'
'This is really amazing, such a game changing turn of events. All I have to do is 'train' my skills and I can even obtain knowledge points in doing so, Hahahaha! With these useful and fruitful benefits, I cannot afford to lose even a single match, as losing even once will mean losing a handful of knowledge points."
"Change of plans. Originally, I was going to leave after fighting a single opponent, however, looks like I will have to stay in this virtual world till morning. Besides, it is not like I will be tired or anything… I am technically still sleeping right now."
Randy had a series of thoughts and then finally concluded in satisfaction.
With that decided, Randy turned his head and then looked up at the new notification prompted by the virtual system at this moment.
<Would the player like to continue with the duel?>
[Yes/No]
"Yes.." He seriously replied without hesitation.
