Chapter 44 - Life Outburst Bang!!

 The continuous light sounds of the long swords clashing kept ringing out, making the entire hall seem to tremble and feel an enormous pressure. In just the blink of an eye, Chen Heng and Medel kept attacking each other, exchanging dozens of blows in just a few breaths. The long swords collided continuously, and Chen Heng's body kept retreating. It seemed that he was at a disadvantage in this process. This was not surprising. No matter what the reason was, at this moment, Chen Heng hadn't truly awakened the life seed yet after all. The life energy in his body hadn't changed substantially, and there was a substantial gap between him and the Medel in front of him. His strength was inferior to Medel's, so it was quite normal for him to be at a disadvantage in a head-on confrontation. However, even though he was at a disadvantage, the situation was still deadlocked. If one looked carefully, one could find that there seemed to be many changes. Although Chen Heng was at a disadvantage, he gradually reversed the situation and was now constantly moving forward. He was very fast, and his strength was greater than expected. Medel was a bit surprised at Chen Heng. For a newcomer who had just become a knight apprentice for less than a year, he had originally thought that the other party would be easy to deal with and that he could defeat the other party with just a little effort. But now it seemed that although the other party hadn't been a knight for a long time, whether it was strength, speed, or the experience in fighting, he was far beyond what he had expected. If he hadn't known Chen Heng's background beforehand, he would almost have thought that the other party was not a newcomer but an extremely experienced knight who was about to awaken the life seed. Such a performance was truly worthy of the name of a knight genius. He thought so in his heart and couldn't help but be a bit amazed at this time. But at the same time, his competitive spirit was also aroused. Knights, due to their uniqueness, couldn't grow up without fighting in the process of growth. It could be said that every knight grew up in battles. Medel was the same. It was okay before, but now, looking at Chen Heng's performance, the competitive spirit hidden in his heart was also aroused, and he became much more serious at this moment. "Kid, take this." He sneered, swung the long sword in his hand, and rushed forward at an extremely fast speed, quickly slashing at Chen Heng, but in the end, he didn't actually strike down. Bursts of sword lights flashed around. The speed at this moment was so fast that even those who were originally watching closely couldn't see his movements at this moment. Suddenly, Chen Heng's pressure increased greatly. Secretly, he frowned. On the surface, he still maintained the previous calmness, said nothing, and just silently fought with the Medel in front of him. It was better to be more serious. Since it was a test, the brighter the test result was, the better. Moreover, for Chen Heng himself, this was also a test. If he could hold on against the Medel in front of him, it would mean that Chen Heng's current strength was already enough to fight a real knight. Although he was still no match, at least he wouldn't be suppressed as quickly as before. "Medel is getting serious..." Around, looking at the two people's constantly accelerating movements, some people had this thought in their minds, and their expressions couldn't help but become more serious. At this moment, as the two people kept fighting, their evaluation of Chen Heng was also constantly rising. In the past, although Chen Heng had a very loud reputation, for those truly top-notch people, it didn't count for much. As the top-notch people, they knew very well how to distinguish knights. Before awakening the life seed, knights were apprentices. And among apprentices, there was a huge difference. Those who had just awakened life energy and hadn't mastered any skills were knight apprentices. Those who had trained themselves to the extreme, polished all aspects to perfection, and reached the standard for awakening the life seed were also knight apprentices. And counting from the time Chen Heng became Coribo's disciple to learning the knight breathing method, it was only a little over half a year. In a little over half a year, for ordinary people, even if they could awaken life energy, they wouldn't become very powerful. At most, they would be a bit stronger than ordinary people. Therefore, although Chen Heng had a great reputation before, many people didn't pay much attention to him. Although people were willing to be on good terms with him, perhaps more of them were doing it because of Coribo. But now it seemed that the result was completely different. Judging from the strength that Chen Heng showed at this moment, he was clearly a knight genius who had trained himself to perfection and had already reached the standard for awakening the life seed, rather than a knight apprentice who had just grasped life energy. A true knight who had awakened the life seed was powerful enough to rival an army. As one of the three knights under Princess Oliman, Medel had once had the record of breaking through a 500-strong elite army by himself. And at this moment, Chen Heng could fight with him for such a long time. It had to be said that this was quite unexpected. Bang!! Continuous light sounds kept coming. Drops of blood kept falling. Unconsciously, Chen Heng's palm had been stained red with blood. The tiger's mouth on his hand split open and unknowingly cracked during the collision, but he didn't care at all. At this moment, all his energy was concentrated on the Medel in front of him. His eyes were fixed on the other party, staring closely. The life energy in his whole body was boiling. In the fierce battle, the life energy in his body was boiling, and now it seemed to have some new changes. If someone observed carefully, they would find that Chen Heng's body temperature was rising rapidly at this moment, and his heartbeat had also become very fast. In fact, at this moment, within almost several meters centered on Chen Heng, it was all affected by his aura. At this moment, it seemed to have become a big furnace. "Why is it suddenly so hot..." Around, feeling the changes here, someone muttered to himself and said so. "Hot..." Standing aside, hearing these words, Carey was stunned at first, and then it seemed that he thought of something. Immediately, his face changed greatly. "Could it be..." He widened his eyes. At this moment, his eyes were fixed on Chen Heng, as if he had thought of something incredible. "This guy..." Using force to force Chen Heng back and feeling the force coming from Chen Heng, Medel was also a bit surprised: "He's actually awakening in the battle, trying to start awakening the life seed..." For others, they might not be sure about Chen Heng's current state, but for a true knight like him, the changes in Chen Heng couldn't be hidden from him at all. He saw the changes in Chen Heng, so he was particularly surprised at this moment, and even a bit shocked. "His strength is constantly increasing. If I don't try to burst out..." While fighting with Chen Heng, he frowned secretly and had this thought in his mind. A knight's strength came from life energy. For a knight who had awakened the life seed, the strongest point was that he could briefly condense the life energy in his whole body and make the life seed enter an active state. This state would make the knight himself possess powerful strength, but it would also consume the knight's own vitality and make him lose some lifespan to a certain extent. Therefore, this state was also called life burning and was the power that knights would use only when entering a decisive battle. And at this moment, with the life energy in Chen Heng's body becoming active, the life seed in his body was also gradually being stimulated and was trying to awaken. In this state, he himself would enter a state similar to life burning, and his own strength would be greatly enhanced. Facing Chen Heng at this moment, Medel's pressure was constantly increasing. If this continued, if he didn't burst out, it would be very difficult for him to suppress Chen Heng. For a while, Medel was also in a dilemma. Fortunately, at this time, a voice slowly rang out and echoed throughout the entire hall. "Stop."
