Astral Apostle

   Chapter 94 Thunder Fire!

When    returned to the imperial hunter station, the sky was already bright.

   Zhou Jing went straight to the workshop, found the staff on duty, informed him of the success of his strengthening, and asked them to inform the king.

   Then he went to the townhouse where the hunters lived, and found Kreber, who had just woken up to exercise, and told the news.

   "Have you completed the four enhancements?"

  Creiber put down the stone pier of equal height in his hand and looked at Zhou Jing in surprise.

   Zhou Jing nodded: "My luck has always been good."

"you……"

  Kreiber's expression was subtle, but he hesitated.

   He still remembered that Jess had been an imperial hunter for less than a year, and he was only strengthened for the second time when he first joined.

   In less than a year, he has been strengthened for the third time and the fourth time in a row. In the end, he really succeeded and became a level second only to the peak of the current hunter... This person is too reckless!

   Few people will continuously strengthen in a short period of time, because it is easy to increase the probability of failure. Especially after the strengthening level is high, it is common for each strengthening to take several years to prepare.

When   Kreiber himself performed four reinforcements, he had the courage to do it after three years of training and preparation.

   He didn't know what to say to Jace's continuous reinforcement that didn't take a small life as his life -- it wasn't a sudden death, and he was lucky!

  Kreiber had to give a thumbs up with mixed feelings, secretly thinking that the little brother was playing a real pervert.

   This time, he really pulled his **** with a knife and opened his eyes.

   "I am strengthening this time, using a new type of different blood medicine, you know this?" Zhou Jing asked.

  Kreiber picked up his mood and said sternly: "I heard the king say that your success is of great significance to the entire hunter group."

   Since the king decided to use the new type of potion for the imperial hunters, the news blockade has gradually been released. Now it has not been announced to the outside world, but has been spread in a small area. Some high-level people who have access to the new type of potion have already known about it.

   said, Kreber was a little curious: "It is said that the new type of potion can impart special abilities, and what the effect is, let's use it and see."

   Zhou Jing shook his head and smiled: "If you want to see it, play with me in person."

  Kreiber was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise, "Are you trying to learn from me?"

   "How about it, are you interested in moving your rusty old bones?" Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows.

  Kreiber was also interested: "Yo, the boy is arrogant, it seems that you need a lesson from an experienced old hunter like me."

   He was curious about the effect of the three-type potion, and his hands were itchy at the same time.

   As a five-time enhancer of the current hunter's peak, because he couldn't find an opponent of the same level, Kreber rarely had the opportunity to do it except to go out for hunting.

  Other hunters would not ask him to learn from him. As the chief hunter of his empire, it is not suitable for him to actively ask his subordinates to learn from him.

  The only opponent of the same level in the capital, Irene, is the head of the royal guard. She is rarely free and is not a suitable opponent to challenge. Therefore, Crabbe is often empty and lonely, and he very much hopes that someone can satisfy his desire to fight.

   Now that Leng Touqing has been looking for a fight with him for a long time, Crabbe can be said to be in a drought for a long time.

   As if he was afraid that Zhou Jing would go back on it, Kreber quickly said, "It's settled, we can't use it here, let's go to the arena to fight!"

   "Okay." Zhou Jing nodded and added: "The king is very concerned about the effects of the new medicine. I haven't had time to tell him, so I just invite him to watch the battle, just to see for myself."

   He thought about it last night, and used this reason to let the king watch the battle, show his strength, and brush up on his importance in the king's eyes. After all, the life goal of the [Empire Chief Hunter] is still counting on the king.

   "No problem, I'm going to inform the king." Crabbe immediately set off.

  …

  Three hours later, in the outskirts of the capital, the gladiatorial arena.

   Not long after King Becky got up, he received a notification from Kreber, and hurriedly asked Irene to assemble the guards and come to the arena to watch together.

  Bill was also specially invited, saying that he was observing the effects of the new medicine, and was arranged to sit next to the king, surrounded by a team of guards, and the security was quite tight.

   In addition, some high-level imperial hunters received news, and many hunters who had been strengthened three or four times also came to watch out of curiosity, and the king expressed his acquiescence.

At this time, Becky was sitting on the stand of the arena, overlooking Jason and Kreiber who were facing each other in the arena. With anticipation, he said curiously, "Finally there is a winner of the three-type potion, I don't know what the strengthening effect is. Erin, what do you think will be the outcome of their fight?"

   "Creber will definitely win, it depends on how long Jace can hold on."

  Irene didn't even think about it, her tone was natural:

"Anyway, Kreber has also been strengthened five times. I know his strength very well. Even if the three-type potion works well, the gap brought by the strengthening level is difficult to make up. Besides, Kleber is extremely experienced. Old hunter."

   Becky also believed Irene's judgment and nodded: "Well, after all, Crabbe is the chief hunter that I personally canonized, of course it is very powerful."

Eileen paused and added: "Although it is impossible for Jess to win, we mainly observe the strengthening effect of the three-type potion to see what kind of power Jess can exert...even if he is not Kreber's opponent. , As the first hunter in history to inherit the special abilities of alien beasts, it also has extraordinary significance and deserves to be cultivated."

   "Of course I understand." Becky waved his hand, and then got a little curious: "You seem to speak for him?"

  Irene coughed lightly: "No, I'll tell the truth."

  Becky raised his brows, took a closer look at Jace's strong and upright body and masculine face, and suddenly understood.

  My own captain of the bodyguard, I'm afraid he's not interested in Jace?

   For a while, Becky felt a sour feeling in her heart.

  Irene was both his bodyguard and his cousin of the same family, and he watched him grow up. Because of her extraordinary talent, Irene has been rigorously trained since she was a child to become a warrior of the royal family.

  As Irene became stronger step by step and became something like a "royal guardian", she basically lost her private life and had a heavy responsibility, and she has no partner until now.

  Only the strong will match the strong. The only one of the same level, Crabbe, is a short old man. Irene dislikes her.

  People's desires always have to be vented. It's not a problem to hold back all the time. Now a strong Jess pops up, and he looks good. Becky suddenly thinks that it's normal for Irene to have ideas?

   'This imperial hunter has outstanding strength, potential, and loyalty. If something happens to Irene, maybe it's not a bad thing, maybe he can become half of the royal family...' Becky's mind drifted away unconsciously.

  Bill sat on the side with a smile, his eyes were like a camera, and the conversation between the two was completely recorded.

   Zhou Jing and Kreiber didn't know the subtle changes in the stands, and they were facing each other in the arena at this time.

   "Come on, let me see what's so special about the new potion."

  Kreiber took off the hexagonal cone warhammer on his back, moved his shoulders, beckoned, and signaled Jason to take the lead.

   He is used to letting others attack first, and as a five-time enhancer, he always has to let others go a little bit.

  If he attacked himself and used five times to strengthen his physical strength, the opponent could only be too tired to deal with it, and it was difficult to show his strength. Kreber never mind giving young people room to play.

   Seeing that Zhou Jing was not pretentious, he took out his two knives directly, Craber smiled and said to himself:

  ‘You have to take some strength when you fight, don’t get too excited, try not to beat Jace seriously…’

   However, the moment he gave birth to this idea, the opposite Zhou Jing suddenly disappeared.

   A strong sense of crisis suddenly rushed into my heart.

  Creiber's expression changed, he suddenly swung the hammer to block his side, and the next moment, there was a humming and oscillating metal clash.

   clang clang!

   Zhou Jing seemed to disappear out of thin air, and suddenly appeared beside Kreber like a ghost.

  The two knives slashed out like lightning, hitting the handle of the hammer, and the heavy force made Craber's wrist shake violently.

   "What a great speed!"

  Creiber's heart froze, and he could hardly see the process of Zhou Jing rushing over.

   Seeing such a fast hunter for the first time!

   He pressed the surprise in his heart, turned the hammer handle, wanted to use the hammer head to jam the two knives, and then hit Fei Zhoujing with his shoulder.

   However, he only moved, Zhou Jing's figure suddenly disappeared from sight, and in the blink of an eye, the distance was more than ten meters away, like a flash of lightning, leaving only a faint electric trace in the retina.

   Before Craber had time to react, Zhou Jing turned around and rushed back.

   Driven by the starting distance, the high-speed blade fell head-on, and the strong wind pressure hit the face, like two heavy thunders.

  Kreiber raised his hammer to meet him with a warning sign in his heart.

  Clang!

  Like a giant bell struck by lightning!

The    giant force exploded, and Kreber's feet sank directly into the ground, shoveling out a ravine several meters.

   The two knives pressed against the handle of the hammer all the way, and the two wrestled face to face.

"what!"

   Irene in the stands, as well as the many hunters watching the battle, suddenly opened their eyes and leaned forward subconsciously.

   The chief hunter who was strengthened five times was actually repelled in person? !

   Little did they know that the shock in Craber's heart was more intense than theirs.

  Kreiber suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhou Jing, who was close to the weapon, in shock.

   Something is wrong! This person's physical quality is not much worse than him!

   may even be better than him!

   The terrifying speed that he almost couldn't react to, and the strength that would not suffer in a head-on confrontation... This kind of physical fitness is definitely not the level of four enhancements!

The moment   's thoughts sparked, Craber immediately dispelled his thoughts... He suddenly realized that if he didn't do everything he could, he might not be able to stand Jace!

   "Drink!"

  Creiber let out a low growl, his muscles stretched, and he violently shook Zhou Jing away.

   Zhou Jing did not continue to compete, and with a double knife, the clouds and water opened up the distance.

   He was about ten meters away, but he didn't rush up immediately. He played a knife with his backhand, looked at Kreber, who was like a formidable enemy, and said with a laugh:

   "How are you, have you warmed up yet?"

   "...I underestimated you, come again!"

  Kreiber's eyes were fiery, and the fighting spirit was high.

   If he still had the attitude of guiding his younger generation just now, then he really regarded Zhou Jing as a worthy and good opponent, and just wanted to fight a pain.

   Zhou Jing ticked the corner of his mouth, stepped on his footsteps, the speed exploded and the ejection started, and the ground was stepped on and cracked!

   He seemed to be transformed into a flash of lightning that flew back and forth in the field, swept past Kreber again and again, and wiped out the sparks of weapons.

   The clanging sound of clanging sounded frequently.

   Zhou Jing did not collide with him head-on, and gave full play to his speed advantage.

  Kreiber couldn't keep up with the speed at all, he could only stay in place, and for a while there was nothing he could do, so he could only passively take Zhou Jing's high-speed double-blade slashes again and again.

  A knife is heavier than a knife!

   Everyone in the stands was stunned. They didn't expect that Jace could beat Kreber.

   Only a few people can still capture Zhou Jing's figure, and most people can't see his movements clearly.

   "Is he so fierce..."

   Becky muttered, a little lost.

   He has always heard others say how powerful Jace is, and now he has an intuitive impression when he sees it with his own eyes.

   Zhou Jing's outbreak at this time was far faster than before, and it was not a single star.

   Advanced lightning resistance allows him to completely avoid the side effects of [Internal Discharge], which can already be used as a long-lasting conventional combat method.

   And under the blessing of [Internal Discharge], the [Fast Electric Induction] brought by the four enhancements is always on, and the reaction speed and agility are further improved.

At the same time, he also used [Lightning Release] to further stimulate his physical energy. The consumption of this state is much smaller than that of releasing an electric shock attack, but the bonuses to speed and agility are extremely considerable, and the energy utilization is very cost-effective. .

   After four enhancements, various characteristics are linked and finally have a qualitative change.

   It can be said that Jason's high-sensitivity and high-explosive route has not really taken shape until this moment, and the speed has improved by more than a grade!

  Kreiber was strengthened five times. The attribute that really opened the gap between the two was resistance. Zhou Jing's resistance was 58 points, but Kleber reached the second-order limit with 80 points, which was a big difference.

   But in terms of physical fitness, Jason is 5 points higher than Kreiber!

   And Kreber is not known for his speed, but also widened the gap... So in terms of physical fitness, Zhou Jing is actually better than Kreber!

  The only thing that is bad is his ability to fight, but his speed is too fast, making it difficult to hit.

  Since you can’t hit, how much meaning does resistance have? Kreber simply cannot play to his own strengths!

   Therefore, in actual combat, the gap in total attributes was compensated by the suppression of the style of play. Zhou Jing was confident, precisely because this wave was based on the long and the short!

   However, Crabbe's resistance is not a decoration. Although he is quite passive and fights quite embarrassingly, he is almost uninjured and extremely strong.

   Zhou Jing took the initiative by virtue of his speed, and had an undoubted upper hand on the scene, but every shot was blocked, and he was still unable to break through Kreiber's defense, causing actual damage to him, not even scratching.

   is like a piece of extremely hard steel, and he can only leave a slight scratch on it.

  Kreiber didn't mean to fight back, so he just made a hard call.

"I've been moving at high speed, and I'm in a burst state, which consumes a lot of physical strength, and he just needs to stand on the spot to block my attack, which is more labor-saving than me... He wants to use up my physical energy, as long as the block is correct, It is to slowly move towards victory, the old hunter is still stable, this is indeed the most suitable style of play for him."

   Zhou Jing quickly analyzed while running, quickly saw Craiber's plan, and his mind was calm.

   Want to play steadily? Also ask my knife if it will answer!

   He stopped slashing back and forth at high speed, and suddenly gave up the speed advantage of guerrilla attacks.

  clang clang——

  Double knives and warhammers danced up and down, dazzling and sparks scattered.

   "Can't hold your breath?"

  Kreiber flipped the hammer, separated the blade, and laughed.

   His hammer skills are quite proficient, and the cumbersome warhammer is quite delicate in his hands. The range of action of each attack and block is very small, but it is just right to achieve the effect. The short distance of the force does not affect his force at all, and each strike is like an inch strike, and the double slashes of Zhou Jing's violent wind and rain are thrillingly resolved.

   Zhou Jing didn't respond, the two knives slammed the warhammer again, and in the gap between using the force to switch the path of the knife, he suddenly threw a lightning bolt of full power.

  Crack!

  The silver-blue lightning struck Kreber directly, causing his hair to explode.

  The blue electric snake roamed around Crabbe, and his movements were stagnant.

brush!

   Zhou Jing took this opportunity, stabbed with both knives, and went straight to Craiber's chest.

   In an emergency, Kreber was shocked, and instantly scattered the electric snakes all over his body.

Although    avoided the front, the breastplate was still cut open by the blade, leaving a blood trail.

   Bass!

The    blade stabbed in the air, and a clear chirping sounded.

  Creiber didn't care about anything else, and while the double knives had not retracted, he quickly raised his hand to clamp Zhou Jing's wrist under his armpit, controlled Zhou Jing's arm, and prevented him from continuing to attack.

   "This is the special ability given by the three-type potion? Can you discharge like some alien beasts?" Crab's eyes widened, his face full of surprise.

   The fight just started, he almost forgot that Zhou Jing was no longer the original hunter who could only fight meleely. If it weren't for his amazing resistance, he would have been paralyzed by the sudden electric shock and confessed directly.

   Zhou Jing ticked the corner of his mouth: "My electricity is stronger than that of alien beasts!"

   After saying that, without hesitation, he suddenly burst out the stored electricity and directed it to Kreiber along the parts of his body that he touched.

   crackling! !

   The lightning flashed, and several consecutive full-power lightning bolts were not missed, and all five lightning bolts hit Kreiber.

  Kreiber was covered in electric snakes, and he was shivering from the blast, his whole body was numb, a cloud of black smoke came out of his mouth, and a burning smell permeated.

   Under the series of high-voltage electric shocks, Craber lost control of his body for a while, and he had no strength to continue to clamp Zhou Jing's arm, and staggered away uncontrollably.

   At this moment, lightning flashed in Zhou Jing's eyes, and the lightning attached to the blade of the fire along his arm.

  The high temperature brought by the lightning instantly filled the "heat tank" of the fire!

Snapped!

   is like a lighter,

  Electric light flashed, and the fire core exploded!

  Call——

  The raging flame erupted along the hole of the knife, like a pillar of fire!

   Zhou Jing raised his hand and slashed without saying a word.

  Boom!

  Crimson red and bright blue covered the fan-shaped space several meters in front of Zhou Jing, and the ground instantly turned black.

  The scorching flames pierced out like a crescent moon, mixed with electric light, and hit Kreber head-on.

  The thunder and fire were intertwined, and the moment it hit Kleiber, the light flashed, and the shock reaction like a bomb exploded suddenly!

  ! !

   The next second, Kreber flew straight out like a cannonball, smashing the wall of the arena with his back.

   rumbling—

   Half of the wall collapsed, and the rubble buried Kreber's figure.

   Zhou Jing was expressionless, still wrapped in tiny electric snakes, he threw the knife casually, extinguishing the flame attached to the blazing blade, then retracted the knife into the sheath with his backhand, and nodded slightly:

   "Sorry, it looks like I'm hitting a bit harder."
