Chapter 370 - 370 A Two-Level Reversal! The Second Eliminated Player!
370 A Two-Level Reversal! The Second Eliminated Player!
Therefore, 0.5 seconds before he was hit, Lone Wolf activated the thrust system and completed a turn in the air, successfully deceiving everyone.
He brushed past Tiger’s bright blade, and the distance between him and Tiger was now less than a meter.
They were now too close for combat with the thick double-edged sword.
If Tiger insisted on using the sword for a counterattack, he would definitely be restricted in many ways.
Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Lone Wolf was overjoyed.
He immediately raised his fist and punched Tiger in the shoulder with all his strength.
His fist, which was wrapped in armor, was akin to a small mountain. The force that he delivered weighed tens of thousands of kilograms. Additionally, the speed of his punch also produced ear-piercing sonic booms.
At such a close distance, if Tiger was hit by Lone Wolf’s punch, he would still be injured and eliminated despite having the physique of a middle-stage seven-star cultivator.
Fortunately, Tiger was the first to react.
He retreated as fast as lightning and released the spirit energy in his body at the same time. He then condensed it into a spirit energy shield that was visible to the naked eye.
A milky-white spirit energy shield soon covered more than half of his body.
The other Special Forces members noticed that the situation was critical, and they tried their best to inject spirit energy into the Nine-star Dragon Trapping Array as well.
They wanted to help Tiger withstand the attack.
Just as the spirit energy shield in front of Tiger coalesced into an attack, Lone Wolf’s fist came crashing down.
Boom!
Everyone heard a violent explosion, and the nine tons of force from Lone Wolf’s fist was instantly unleashed.
Countless ripples formed across the spirit energy shield under the impact of such a terrifying force.
The crackling sounds of one gas explosion after another rang out.
The shield in front of Tiger was on the verge of breaking, but it did not collapse.
He had withstood Lone Wolf’s punch.
Although forming the shield had consumed a great deal of Tiger’s spirit energy, it had allowed him to retreat safely, which was already considered a great success.
On the other hand, the opportunity that Lone Wolf had gained from his risky move did not cause any damage. He was still in an extremely disadvantageous position.
After all, the jetpack on the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear’s back also had an energy limit.
At most, Lone Wolf could only throw five punches at full power.
Once the energy was exhausted, not only would the enhancement of his various attributes no longer exist, even the ability to fly would be gone.
Currently, Lone Wolf was close to defeat.
He had used all his strength in that punch, but it was blocked by the spirit energy shield. Plus, the extraordinary rebound force also caused damage to his own arm.
This was proven by the sensor watch on his right hand, which was constantly emitting a yellow light.
Impact force was reciprocal. Even though the spirit energy shield had the effect of unloading part of the force, the remaining force still sent Lone Wolf flying.
The distance between the two of them had also widened.
There were less than five minutes left until the end of the individual combat test.
Just when everyone thought that Lone Wolf had failed…
The latter used the recoil from the spirit energy shield to charge at Rat, who was watching the show.
Lone Wolf was extremely fast like a bolt of lightning. He had gained a speed boost from both the rebound force and the jetpack on the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear’s back.
The Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear’s own agility enhancement feature, as well as the other two speed boosts, were enough to let Lone Wolf’s speed enter a new realm.
He covered the distance of a dozen meters in an instant, not giving anyone time to react.
No one expected Lone Wolf to launch a counterattack at this time.
And this was when everyone was at their worst.
To help Tiger block Lone Wolf’s punch earlier, everyone had transferred most of their spirit energy into the Nine-star Dragon Trapping Array so that Tiger could reach the middle stage of the seven-star rank.
Therefore, whether it was Rat or Dragon, their current state was worse than that of an early six-star cultivator.
Seeing that Lone Wolf was charging at them with a long sword full of cracks, they realized that they would fail to organize an effective defense even if they managed to react in time.
Rat was dumbfounded as he looked at Tiger. He even forgot to channel the spirit power in his body back into the array.
That killed the only chance for his comrades to fight back.
At the last moment, Rat barely raised his weapon to block the attack before him.
However, how could he be a match for Lone Wolf in his current state?
Even though Lone Wolf’s right arm was injured, with the thrust system’s support, he could easily swing his sword with a force of eight tons.
In comparison, Rat’s hasty defense made him seem like a mantis that was trying to stop a car.
It had no effect.
Dang!
As their two weapons clashed, Rat, who was the first to be hit, felt his arms go numb. Then, his body flew more than 10 meters away as if he had been hit by a cannonball.
The sensor watch on his wrist emitted a blinding red light before he even landed.
He had already been eliminated!
The formation had originally been maintained by nine people, but now that Rat had been eliminated, a hole had appeared in the formation.
How could Lone Wolf let go of this opportunity? He shot out like a rocket, and before the people around him could react, he escaped the array’s range of control.
Only then did the remaining ten Special Forces members react. They no longer cared about the array, and after each of them withdrew their own spirit energy, they immediately rushed in Lone Wolf’s direction.
At this moment, everyone’s eyes were on Lone Wolf.
He did not slow down even after leaving the Nine-star Dragon Trapping Array, and he went straight for Rat, who had been sent flying.
Before the latter could smash into the iron wire wall, he pulled him back.
“Argh…” Rat groaned in pain.
His condition was even worse than that of the first member who had been eliminated.
Not only did he have a fracture in his arm, but his body also experienced whiplash due to his sudden break from the formation. He was almost seriously injured.
If Lord Lone Wolf had not pulled him back at the last moment, he would have ended up in the hospital for a few months.
However, he was not any better off now. He would not be able to take on any missions for a month at least.
Looking at the red light on his watch, Rat felt conflicted. Although he was dissatisfied, he still followed the rules. He held his broken arm and walked out of the open-air warehouse with a complicated expression.
Lone Wolf’s close-range attack on Tiger had failed, but the entire process of him breaking the Nine-star Dragon Trapping Array and saving Rat had taken less than two minutes.
In the blink of an eye, he had completed the magical operation of bringing the dead back to life.
Everyone present was shocked by his calmness and reaction speed.
The Nine-star Dragon Trapping Array had locked him into position, and he had lost to Tiger in a head-on battle.
So many setbacks did not make him admit defeat. Instead, he became more courageous as he fought, and he found a chance to make a comeback in the midst of danger.
Even Lieutenant General Lu Yuansheng could not help but praise such strategy, courage, and shrewdness.
