Chapter 156 Who's the newbie?
"Oh, it seems you've made up your minds. Let's get straight to the point, everyone. I can't wait to see the power of the Giant of Light."
Seeing Zhao Yu give his answer, Luo Yi's eyes immediately brightened. After fighting the Giant of Light so many times, it was finally his turn to become the giant in everyone's eyes.
With a wave of his hand, a dark circle was created, from which a light energy crystal rose and appeared before Luo Yi. Surrounded by shadows, it wielded the light, and the moment Luo Yi grasped the crystal, it flashed with an immense white light.
Looking at where Luo Yi was standing, in his place were the legs of a giant. The giant of light, all white, had been summoned and descended to the earth, its form extremely similar to the original Zeta.
"Now we can finally have a showdown between giants of light! I've been waiting for this moment for so long!"
The white giant slowly stood up, and Luo Yi's voice came from it. Now, Yao Hui and the others had no choice but to believe that Luo Yi really had the ability to transform into the Giant of Light.
"How is this possible? Where did Luo Yi get those Light Magic Stones?"
"Actually, Luo Yi obtained the Courage Crystal for a period of time when Yao Hui was captured by the otherworldly monster. Perhaps it was during that time that he seized the light energy within the Courage Crystal."
A-Jiu was shocked to see the giant in front of her, whose size was no different from Zeta's. She simply couldn't believe that Luo Yi's abilities alone could achieve the results of the chairman's research over the past few years.
Zeta spoke up to explain the situation that no one else knew before. Although he was somewhat reluctant, he explained that it was because of Luo Yi's help that he was able to successfully rescue Yao Hui.
"This is getting interesting. Heh heh heh, watching the two newcomers bicker back and forth might make this old man happy."
Belial Twilight, never one to shy away from stirring things up, made sarcastic remarks. While everyone else was on edge, he was the only one who laughed. Then, he floated into the air and began to carefully examine Luo Yi's transformation.
“You really don’t need to force yourself, Zhaoyu. Luo Yi is a madman. We can’t lower ourselves to his level.” Sean still felt that Luo Yi was not trustworthy. Even if Luo Yi really had unexpected abilities, Luo Yi’s thinking was simply incomprehensible.
"If I were to back down in the face of such an opponent, I wouldn't be considered very capable. Besides, I have some personal grudges with Luo Yi, so I'll take this opportunity to settle them."
Zhao Yu took up her courage and purity and marched forward. She was ready for battle and wanted to hone her resolve in this fight.
“Luo Yi’s transformation state is just a blank slate. You have abilities that he doesn’t have. Zhao Yu, you should make good use of them.”
Before Akio officially transformed, Haruki gave her his advice, which Akio took to heart, and her transformation was about to begin.
A bright rainbow light emanated from within the Light Magic Stone, enveloping Zhao Yu's entire body and lifting him into the air. A Z-shaped symbol was formed with the Light Magic Stone at its core, revealing the body of the Giant of Light.
A crimson glow emanated from the crystal in the giant's chest, spreading outwards along the giant's skin and throughout his body. The powerful physique was the source of Beta Impact's strength, while the serene aura emanating from Zhao Yu was her protective will.
"Beria-san, please divide the area to avoid disturbing other creatures and to prevent others from interfering with this duel."
"It's just a little effort."
Belial Twilight never refuses Haruki's requests, and this time he was even more excited to see a rare battle between rookies.
Flames swirled around the demonic blade, and Belial Twilight soared into the sky, swiftly unleashing four blades of energy that enveloped the area, forming a square grid that created a spatial barrier between the area and the outside world.
The flames, devoid of any murderous intent, transformed into a light energy barrier, serving both a restrictive function and absorbing any missed attacks. With this protection, those two newbies could probably unleash their full power.
"So what are our competition rules? With so many people watching, it's not convenient to fight to the death."
Luo Yi strolled leisurely around the arena, focusing most of his attention on his own strength, and did not harbor much hostility towards Zhao Yu.
"Is a rule that uses being knocked down as the standard, with the first player to be knocked down twice eliminated, acceptable?"
"I have no opinion."
"Since the hero has spoken, let's make it a deal."
Yao Hui, A Jiu, and Sean stood on the sidelines watching the match. Since no one took Luo Yi's words to heart, Yao Hui decided to treat this duel as a mere contest and stop when the score was right.
"I won't go easy on you just because you're a woman, Zhaoyu."
"You'd better not have weak legs when you get up from the ground, Luo Yi!"
After hearing Zhao Yu's reply, Luo Yi was very satisfied, because now he could truly throw himself into the battle.
One second he was observing from the side, the next he leaped into the air. The giant of light that Luo Yi transformed into unleashed extremely strong mobility, and his flying kick clearly showed that his opponent's physical skills were quite formidable.
Slowed out of combat awareness, Zhao Yu was unable to dodge and could only brace himself to defend against the kick. The giant's flying kick, which rushed into the air, created a shockwave when it hit its target, but Zhao Yu, standing upright in the center of the shockwave, remained standing.
"Your strength is truly extraordinary; I really can't underestimate you."
Luo Yi still vividly remembers the battle between Zhao Yu Impact and the otherworldly monster. He knows that he is no match for Tyrant and Bogaru in terms of strength alone, and trying to defeat Zhao Yu Impact by strength this time is obviously a poor strategy.
"My combat experience is not on the same level as his. If I take the initiative to attack, Luo Yi will definitely find an opening. I have to wait for him to attack first if I want to catch him."
Zhao Yu also dared not underestimate Luo Yi's abilities. This duel was a gamble with her fighting spirit, and she had to show absolute courage and intelligence to live up to her determination to protect what she wanted to do.
"Aren't you going to take the initiative to attack? Then I won't wait for you anymore."
Luo Yi gathered his strength in front of his chest, and a ball of black energy was in his hands. He looked straight ahead and aimed at his opponent, changing his mindset to avoid a direct confrontation with Zhao Yu's power.
Facing Luo Yi's attack, Zhao Yu clenched his fist and swung it to meet it head-on. The light wrapped around his fist was the light magic stone responding to Zhao Yu's fighting spirit. The power of the punch shattered the black energy sphere on the spot.
This was exactly what Luo Yi had hoped for. The moment the black energy ball was shattered, a large amount of black gas burst out, instantly enveloping the entire area and blocking Zhao Yu's entire field of vision.
Using shadow magic to conceal himself, Luo Yi immediately disappeared, making his next move completely unpredictable.
"Does Luo Yi really like playing dirty tricks? Zhao Yu really suffered a great loss when she ran into him."
Ajiu wanted to observe but could only see thick black mist. She was worried about Zhaoyu but knew nothing about the situation. The unknown battlefield situation made Ajiu anxious. She felt that Luo Yi was taking advantage of Zhaoyu's naivety.
"Don't be so anxious, Ajiu. Zhaoyu isn't afraid of this kind of danger. After all, the black aura of the otherworldly monsters is much more terrifying than this. Zhaoyu still overcame it and saved everyone."
Haruki handed the Yugi Pure Crystal to A-Kyu so that he could use Zeta's super vision to see the black aura clearly. After calming A-Kyu down, Haruki was also able to think quietly.
Luo Yi is serious this time. He's not playing around; he genuinely wants to win. Zhao Yu's transformation is stronger than Luo Yi's, but she hasn't had any substantial training yet. If she really encounters the scheming Luo Yi, Zhao Yu will have to unleash her full potential and defeat him in one fell swoop if she wants to win.
