Global Superpower: Getting Stronger through Reading

“Oh right, Kristen is one of the three Aristocrats in Orlando. His family background is not to be underestimated.”

“That’s right. Lin Bai is in trouble now. How weak can the children raised by such a family be?”

“…”

In the arena.

Kristen and Lin Bai both stepped onto the arena, silently confronting each other.

Lin Bai stared coldly at his opponent. He was secretly rather excited.

Just how powerful was this Nine-Colored Yanluo Seal?

He would use Kristen as a touchstone!

The atmosphere in the arena was tense, and the battle was about to begin.

Just like that, Lin Bai and Kristen stood facing each other, their eyes brimming with battle intent.

From Kristen’s point of view, Lin Bai was just a lucky bastard. He had clearly relied on a woman to get a place as a Hunter, yet he could live so peacefully.

The Hunter’s Association was really blind this time.

Kristen was dressed in a bright gold windbreaker that cost a bomb. He was eye-catching and attracted everyone’s attention.

In comparison, Lin Bai’s clothes seemed rather plain.

“Are you here for a competition… or for a fashion show?” Lin Bai could not help but mock Kristen when he saw Kristen’s exaggerated attire.

“I’m preparing to end this battle gracefully. Your violent tendencies are nothing compared to my combat aesthetic,” said Kristen with a fake smile.

Lin Bai was speechless.

At this moment, the referee finally blew the whistle. Then, the two of them instantly moved, charging straight at each other.

Kristen began to sway strangely. With a sway, he arrived before Lin Bai.

“What speed!” Lin Bai was shocked.

At the same time, Lin Bai mobilized all the energy in his body and entered a vigilant state.

After all, it was very difficult to take the initiative to attack such a fast Mage.

He would only be able to counterattack when they were engaged in close combat.

“Wind Dragon Tornado!”

Kristen formed a seal with both hands and the air in the arena began to churn, gradually forming a raging tornado.

“So he’s a wind-type Mage. It’s no wonder he has such speed.” Lin Bai narrowed his eyes as he secretly analyzed his opponent.

When faced with such a straightforward attack, Lin Bai did not hold back either. He formed a seal with both hands, and a white seal appeared before the tornado.

“The Nine-Colored Yanluo Seal!”

The white seal flew over and collided with the tornado. The two attacks were in a stalemate for a while. However, after a long stalemate, both sides’ attacks were neutralized. Neither side had the upper hand.

“Interesting, little kid.” A hint of surprise flashed past Kristen’s eyes.

He had never thought that his tornado would be so easily destroyed by Lin Bai.

Lin Bai was also surprised.

The reason he had only utilized the first seal earlier was because he was afraid that the strength of the Nine-Colored Yanluo Seal was too formidable. As a result, it might lose its sense of propriety in battle and harm the lives of others.

However, from the looks of it now, the power of the first seal was still somewhat unsatisfactory.

“Take this again!” The magic power around Kristen changed, gradually turning into the shape of an eagle.

“Fierce Wind Eagle!”

The eagle that was formed from magic power howled as it charged towards Lin Bai. However, Lin Bai, who was at the side, did not move at all. He only smiled as he looked at the ferocious eagle.

“Have you given up?” Kristen scoffed.

However, the corners of Lin Bai’s lips curled up slightly. At the same time, another seal formed before him.

“Is this the only attack you know? Are you doing the same thing again?” Kristen could not hide his disdain and mockery.

“No.” Charlotte, who was sitting on the spectator stands, noticed something. “This time, the color of the seal seems to be deeper than the first one. It seems to be gray in colour!”

“Furthermore, the cold aura from that seal is stronger too,” Garth added.

“Kristen doesn’t seem to notice anything unusual. He seems to be losing.” Cage concluded. He knew that Lin Bai was not as simple as he seemed.

Back at the arenam the moment the gray seal and the Fierce Wind Eagle collided, the Fierce Wind Eagle showed signs of being shaken.

In the blink of an eye, the Fierce Wind Eagle was easily destroyed.

Lin Bai smiled imperceptibly. He was very satisfied with the power of the second seal.

When he formed the seals just now, he had actually formed two seals. However, he had hidden the second gray seal, which did not take form and was left behind as a backup.

Meanwhile, as the grey seal flew towards Kristen at full force, Kristen could not dodge in time. He could only use all of her energy to block the attack!

Kristen took several steps back from the heavy injuries. He only managed to stop after using all his strength. Then, he stared at Lin Bai in shock.

“Do you still want to continue?” Lin Bai asked.

Kristen gave a chilling smile and charged towards Lin Bai without another word.

Lin Bai’s eyes narrowed. He could smell a hint of killing intent that was close to that of a wild beast from Kristen, who had suddenly become violent. Thus, Lin Bai charged over with fury and determination.

“Stop him!” Cage suddenly stood up from his seat and gripped the armrests on both sides of the seat. He was so nervous that he roared subconsciously, “He wants to kill you!”

Of course, the referee could tell that something was wrong with Kristen. He was about to stop him, but Kristen’s figure was strange.

Coupled with the speed of the wind magic, the judge could only react when Kristen approached Lin Bai and condensed a few wind blades in his hands.

Lin Bai’s face was still as calm as ever as he activated all his magic!

At the same time, he quickly pulled out the sword at his waist with his right hand. Then, he firmly held the Demon Blade Kakura.

In an instant, Lin Bai instinctively dodged Kristen by an inch. Then, he took advantage of the time he had gained from dodging and placed the Demon Blade Kakura on Kristen’s neck.

Lin Bai stared at Kristen coldly.

The bloodthirsty killing intent in Kristen’s eyes suddenly dimmed as horror filled his eyes.

“Admit defeat now. Then, get lost,” said Lin Bai indifferently.

The cold verdict made him completely different from the harmless-looking teenager from before!

Kristen had completely lost his will to fight. Thus, he withdrew his energy and shouted, “I surrender!”

The judge who couldn’t save Lin Bai let out a long sigh of relief and announced, “Lin Bai wins!”

On the spectator stands, Charlotte narrowed her eyes and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure below with an indescribable surprise.

“Why? How did he trigger such a killing intent in such a short amount of time? He even overshadowed Kristen’s killing intent and caused him to lose his will to fight!”
