Chapter 502 Hmm... You are really a breath of fresh air, hahaha
Kong responded calmly, deftly defusing Rong Shi's attacks. He was agile, moving through the sword shadows like a ghost, always avoiding fatal blows at the critical moment. His footsteps were light and agile, like a dancing butterfly, wandering on the edge of danger. At the same time, Kong was also looking for opportunities to counterattack. His sharp eyes tried to find flaws in Rong Shi's attacks. He observed Rong Shi's attack rhythm and movement habits, looking for weaknesses that could be broken through.
Rong Shi showed amazing combat awareness. Every move he made was just as precise as a butcher cutting an ox. It was hard for Kong to find a way to break through. His attack angles were tricky, and he could always attack from unexpected directions. He controlled the rhythm very accurately, not giving Kong any chance to breathe. He seemed to see through Kong's defense, and every move hit the vital point, putting Kong in a passive situation.
Kong couldn't help but marvel inwardly. It was really beyond his expectation that this ordinary-looking guy could reach such a pinnacle level.
He originally thought that he was strong enough to handle this match easily, but now he found that Rong Shi's strength was far beyond his imagination. He realized that he had to go all out to cope with the challenge ahead.
However, Kong did not use all his strength at this moment. The next moment, he tightly grasped the sword in his hand and swung it down like a violent storm. This sword contained Kong's great strength and determination. The blade flashed with dazzling light, as if it had gathered the power of heaven and earth. The sword wind whistled, and the surrounding air was twisted by this powerful force.
Rong Shi raised his sword to resist as usual, but the terrifying force shook the sword out of his hand like a tidal wave, and it flew to the side. The huge impact made Rong Shi's arm numb, and his body involuntarily stepped back a few steps. There was a hint of surprise on his face, but he quickly regained his composure, and his eyes were still burning with an unyielding fighting spirit.
The winner was decided, and Kong stopped attacking. After all, there was no need. Moreover, this man's strength was indeed outstanding and worthy of respect. Kong put down his weapon and nodded slightly to Rong Shi to express his respect for him.
The two walked out of the arena together. After they arrived, Rong Shi stared at Kong, and the fighting spirit in his eyes was like a blazing fire, which did not diminish at all. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I sweated a lot, very good. I admit that you are stronger than me, and I still need more training." Rong Shi's tone did not contain the slightest discouragement, but was full of desire to improve himself. He regarded this game as a valuable learning opportunity, determined to learn lessons from failure and continuously improve his strength.
After listening to Rong Shi's words, Kong nodded slightly and responded: "You are also very powerful. You have the potential to become a champion." Kong fully affirmed Rong Shi's strength. He knew that if he was not there, Rong Shi would definitely be the favorite to win the championship in this martial arts competition. In Kong's eyes, Rong Shi's strength and combat awareness are very outstanding. In time, he will definitely become a powerful warrior.
If he hadn't been there, he would undoubtedly have been the winner of this martial arts competition. His strength stood out among these ordinary people, second to none. Kong couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy for Rong Shi, and he felt that Rong Shi was a worthy opponent.
Paimeng and Lin Feng had also come over from the viewing platform. Paimeng looked at Kong, patted his chest, and exhaled. "Yeah, it was really close just now... If Kong hadn't acted in time, the consequences would have been disastrous." Paimeng said with lingering fear. The game just now made her sweat. There was still a trace of fear on her face. Thinking of the danger Kong faced just now, she felt nervous.
Then she looked at Rong Shi and said, "If you had the Eye of God, you would be extremely powerful." According to Lin Feng, the Eye of God can strengthen the body of the owner. If he had the Eye of God, the sword just now might not have slipped out of his hand.
After listening to Paimon's words, Rong Shi raised his head slightly, his eyes piercing through the hustle and bustle in front of him, as if he had traveled through time and space, and fell into deep memories of the past. "When I was a child, I also wanted the Eye of God. They said that as long as I was strong enough, I would have a chance." His voice was very light, as light as a veil floating in the wind, as if it floated from the distant past, with a hint of melancholy. It was a time full of longing and passion.
At that time, his small body was filled with a burning desire for great power. Every morning, before the first ray of sunlight completely dispelled the night's chill, he was already sweating on the simple training ground. The worn wooden stakes were thumped by his fists and feet, and the dust flew in the weak light, as if witnessing his persistence. At night, the moonlight sprinkled on his tired but determined face. He continued to practice hard, dreaming that one day he would be favored by the gods, obtain the Eye of God that symbolizes special power, and become a strong man admired by everyone.
"But I can't get it." At this point, Rong Shi showed a seemingly indifferent look on his face, shrugging his shoulders lightly, trying to use this seemingly free and easy action to cover up the waves in his heart. However, the loneliness that flashed in the depths of his eyes still revealed the loss in his heart. Countless days and nights of hard work, countless times of persistence in pain and exhaustion, in exchange for the shattering of hope, this was undoubtedly a heavy and almost suffocating blow to the young him.
"Later, I lost interest. The Eye of God is not as real as muscles." Rong Shi clenched his fists tightly, and the strong muscles on his arms bulged high, showing a strong sense of strength. His eyes were full of determination and confidence, which was a kind of determination to find the direction again after setbacks. "I have also defeated people with the Eye of God. That kind of power is given by God, and I don't envy it." In his opinion, the power trained by his own hard work day after day and year after year is far more reliable and more real than the power obtained by relying on the Eye of God. That is his own glory, the crystallization of sweat and perseverance, which cannot be doubted.
After hearing what Rong Shi said, Paimeng looked at him with a puzzled look on her face. Her big eyes were full of curiosity, like an innocent kitten, blinking her eyes and trying to explore the inner world of this mysterious man. "Huh? Aren't you here for the God's Eye that has no owner?" Paimeng couldn't understand it. In this world where the God's Eye is regarded as a supreme treasure and sought after by everyone, there are actually people who have no interest in it. This completely subverted her previous cognition.
