While blocking Qian Lia's sharp claws, Qing Lin slightly retreated backwards. He did not fly too high, so as to make his attacks more effective at the best distance between them.

Because his opponent was Qian Lia.

He could not allow himself to easily win, nor could he use ordinary methods to fight him.

Qing Lin was very clear about the outcome of underestimating his opponent.

Qing Lin only activated a water wall that was slightly better than a water shield. A single man battling was not suitable for opening up a large protective shield, it would affect his speed and judgement.

What Qing Lin wanted was only the most direct and effective way.

This was the first true battle that Chu Hee had seen since he arrived at the Zelters.

However, the main character of this battle was someone he did not like to see.

Qing Lin was still the same, his face cold, as if this intense battle had nothing to do with him. Qian Lia was the complete opposite of him. Even though they were quite a distance away, Chu Hee still caught sight of his expression when Qian Lia occasionally turned his face to the side.

Biting his lower lip, the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a devilish smile. He had to admit that this Qian Lia was extremely eye-catching, as dazzling as the sun.

However, his attacks were nothing like his expression, making others feel relaxed.

Very fierce.

Very agile.

Every action of his caused Chu Hee to break out in a cold sweat.

He turned on the wind, his agile body appearing and disappearing at the same time. This was a special skill that only Warriors had. It was a fast, nearly invisible way of running, and as one's level increased, the amount of time one could see would be shorter.

Qian Lia was a top-notch Sword Soul Warrior, and under the harsh environment, he was far more powerful than warriors of the same level. So right now, that black figure would occasionally appear from different angles, and in an instant, disappear without a trace.

Then, it appeared around Qing Lin, either with a short blade or sharp claws, attacking him in different ways.

But every time, he would hit the water wall Qing Lin created. It was not that he was not accurate enough, it was that Qing Lin was able to accurately determine the location of his appearance and quickly moved the water wall to that place.

A confident defense.

If he made one wrong analysis, it would cost Qian Lia ripping a part of his body apart. It would be when the mage was in danger, getting close to him.

Seeing the ripples on the water wall caused by Qian Lia's attack, Chu Hee's heart rose to his throat.

Where did this guy get so much energy from …

Using the abundant wind element in the surroundings, many small wind balls roared and smashed into the empty ground. Fighting alone was not suitable for large scale magic attacks, so choosing small scale magic could reduce the consumption of magic, but it could also be used very quickly for the next attack. For the mages with weaker stamina, this would make up for their deficiencies.

After all, in a evenly matched situation, it was not so easy to determine the winner and loser.

In this battle, Qing Lin had relied on his accurate analysis and clever brain, and Qian Lia had relied on his strong physical strength.

Qing Lin floated in midair. If he wanted to touch him, Qian Lia could only leap high in the air and dodge the powerful wind balls that were flying in his direction at the same time. As long as he was hit once, the outcome would be clear.

Chu Hee was always worried about Qing Lin, but when he saw that there was a trap laid on the ground at an unknown time, he did not know which one he should be worried about.

Slowing the Earth Spike Trap.

As long as Qian Lia set his foot once, his advantage in speed would disappear and Qing Lin could easily attack him.

This type of trap could only be seen by the caster. The others would only know if they stepped on it.

The reason that Chu Hee found out was because he accidentally encountered it in a gust of wind.

The ground was filled with yellow sand, and in the one meter wide circle, countless earth spikes instantly appeared.

The yellow color suddenly extended from his feet to his calves, and following that was Qing Lin's Wind Ball.

With his right hand on the ground, he consecutively somersaulted a few times to avoid the consecutive wind balls, but he was still in a somewhat sorry state.

Fortunately, he had only reached the edge of the trap, and the effect he had received was much less than if he had stepped on it completely.

Chu Hee wanted to speak out to stop him, but the man who knelt on one knee only used the back of his hand to rub his lips that had a wide smile on it, and then rushed forward again.

It was as if this mistake had ignited his fighting spirit and made him even more excited.

The fierce battle made Chu Hee forget about his own pain, he didn't know when, but the clothes he was holding had already been drenched in sweat, and a few ugly creases formed on his palms.

He knew that with those Beastman Warriors present, Qing Lin's life would not be threatened. However, Qian Lia was different, the moment he lost, he would either lose his life or be brought back to the Orc Clan.

On one hand, he was afraid that Qing Lin would be injured, and on the other hand, he was afraid that Qian Lia would be defeated.

Everyone's attention was completely focused on the two brothers. No one noticed that a few light magic symbols had appeared in the sky.

Until...

The deep blue symbol was clearly imprinted in the sky, and in the middle of the symbol appeared a yellow, blue, and white symbol.

This magic array was …

The beastmen were all stunned. Even the two people fighting stopped moving.

In a flash, a black figure appeared within the magic array …

It was within expectations.
