Chapter 75 - Battle

 Chen Heng had envisioned many times in the past how his battles with other knights would be like after he became a knight in the future. However, he had never thought that his first knightly battle would take place under such a high-profile situation. Bursts of cheers rang out, surging in from all directions. In every direction, the spectators were shouting at the top of their lungs, roaring and calling out his name. They seemed to be looking forward to his victory, or perhaps they were simply looking forward to this wonderful duel continuing. However, Chen Heng couldn't hear any of this at the moment. All of his attention was now fixed on his opponent in front of him, and all his energy was concentrated on Durano. Durano, from the Kingdom of Orlis, was undoubtedly a terrifying and formidable opponent. So terrifying that no matter how hard Chen Heng tried and exerted all his skills, he couldn't defeat him. The man in front of him was like an unbeatable giant. Just standing there, he was intimidating and seemed impossible to defeat. Even Chen Heng couldn't defeat him at this moment and could only keep attacking. Of course, while Chen Heng found it棘手, how could Durano be having an easy time? In his perception, the Chen Heng in front of him was almost like a rock, impregnable. No matter what he did, he couldn't suppress him. His strength was extremely terrifying. He didn't seem like a newly promoted knight at all, but rather a powerful knight who had experienced many battles, with extremely superb skills and impeccable strength. Facing such an opponent, he also felt a chill run down his spine and had no idea how to defeat him at all. The situation inevitably became a stalemate. Unconsciously, a faint white glow flickered on their bodies, fluctuating on them and gradually condensing onto the weapons in their hands. The people around let out bursts of exclamations. "Knights!" Kerry and the middle-aged man beside him couldn't help but stand up, both of their faces full of astonishment. "I see." The middle-aged man's face was astonished, but he quickly came to his senses: "No wonder Princess Oriman sent Knight Kailin into the arena..." "So he has already..." Chen Heng had clearly already become a true knight. Condensing life energy, spreading it to the surface of the body, and even condensing it on one's own weapon was a power that only a true knight who had awakened the life seed could possess. Chen Heng's performance at this moment had already shown that he had awakened the life seed and was now a true knight. The current battle was not a one-sided battle but a fight between knights. Even looking at the situation, Knight Durano couldn't defeat Chen Heng in a short while. The situation of this battle was still worth watching. Many people present were surprised by this result. Knight Durano was no ordinary figure. As early as ten years ago, he had already been a prominent figure in the Kingdom of Orlis. He had records of defeating many other knights on numerous occasions and was considered a top powerhouse even among knights. To be honest, among Princess Oriman's subordinates, there was basically no one who could match this knight. Even if Knight Madel recovered, facing Knight Durano, he would surely end up defeated in the end. But what was the situation now? A newly promoted knight was fighting with Durano down there and even suppressed him to some extent for a while. "Princess Oriman really has a good eye..." Looking at this scene, standing beside Kerry, the middle-aged man couldn't help sighing. At this time, he couldn't help feeling a bit regretful in his heart. He knew that Kerry had a very good relationship with Chen Heng. In fact, the reason why Kerry was so active in interacting with Chen Heng was also under his instruction. At that time, he didn't think too much. He just felt that a knight apprentice like Chen Heng, who had a good reputation and was powerful, was worth winning over. Now it seemed that he hadn't paid enough attention at the time and hadn't realized Chen Heng's true potential. "If I had known this, I should have married one of my daughters to him and tied him to our family's chariot." At this moment, he felt a bit regretful in his heart, and this thought flashed through his mind. However, no matter how regretful he was, it was already too late. Chen Heng had already married Princess Vinall and had become Princess Oriman's man. Even if others were envious, they could only watch now. "How is it?" In a corner, looking at Chen Heng's performance, Oriman smiled and looked at the middle-aged man beside her. Under the dim light around, the appearance of the middle-aged man was revealed. He was wearing a delicate leather armor, and he looked very upright. His face was cold and looked rather icy at first glance, making him seem very unapproachable. This was Knight Senbang, one of the three knights under Oriman. After Madel was injured, he replaced Madel and guarded beside Oriman. Among Oriman's subordinates, he had always been known for being cold and expressionless. But now, looking at the fight between Durano and Chen Heng on the square below, he couldn't maintain his originally cold expression, and a look of astonishment appeared on his handsome face. Obviously, he was also very surprised, even shocked, by Chen Heng's performance. "His strength has completely surpassed mine..." Standing beside Oriman and observing silently for a while, he sighed and finally said so. "Each of these two people in front of me is stronger than me. If I were to face them and engage in a frontal battle, I'm afraid I would be directly killed by them." Directly killed... Oriman felt a chill in her heart and also felt a bit scared at this time. "Kailin, has his strength really reached such a level?" This thought couldn't help flashing through her mind. Previously, she had thought that Chen Heng's strength had been exaggerated and that he was a bit overconfident. She let Chen Heng enter the arena to fight Durano, also with the thought of letting Chen Heng suffer some setbacks so that he could be more down-to-earth. But she hadn't expected... Judging from the level of performance Chen Heng had shown now, he hadn't exaggerated at all. In a certain sense, he was even rather modest. With the strength he had shown now, even when Madel was at his prime, he would be nothing in front of Chen Heng. However, that was also good. No matter how powerful Chen Heng was, he was her vassal. Naturally, the stronger he was, the better. The stronger Chen Heng's strength was, the stronger her power would be. So, sitting there upright, a smile appeared on her face. "Do your best." She sat there, muttering to herself, "Let me see where your limits are." Compared with Oriman's calmness, some others couldn't be so calm. For example, Vinall was already jumping up and down anxiously at the moment. She looked at the battlefield below. Just looking at the battle between Chen Heng and the other person made her feel extremely nervous and terribly scared.
