Chapter 72 - 72 Lena's Talent
72 Lena’s Talent
Following Chapman’s announcement, nearly 100,000 people in the audience let out earth-shaking cheers!
Gray was full of confidence. He stomped his feet and glided onto the stage like an eagle spreading its wings.
His handsome entrance caused another round of applause.
In contrast, Lena fed the audience a wave of dog food.
She stood up, hugged Ning Shi, and kissed him on the lips before walking up to the stage unhurriedly.
Seeing the intimate behavior of Lena and Ning Shi, the veins on Alesia’s face bulged. He held the Lionheart Blade tightly, trying not to let himself roar.
“What’s going on? Lionheart, didn’t they say that Ning Shi and Lena are old acquaintances? Why would Lena hug and kiss Ning Shi?”
The Lion King’s bloodline was extremely possessive, and in Alesia’s eyes, Lena had long been his woman. He would never allow anyone to touch Lena.
Seeing this scene, Alesia almost lost control of his emotions.
The Lionheart Blade only trembled and did not respond to him.
It was obvious that Lionheart Blade was tired after taking care of Alesia’s child-like emotions for a long time.
On the stage, Gray felt that victory was in his hands and began to deliberately speak in a different tone to show his generosity in front of the crowd.
“Lena, my dear sister, don’t worry. Even if you lose today’s match, I’ll still treat you well. After all, we’re all of the bloodlines of the Alice family.”
Gray’s words were gentlemanly, but his bamboo-like figure was nothing compared to Lena’s beauty and confidence.
No matter where it was, good-looking people had an advantage.
When the two of them stood on the stage, in contrast, Lena’s charm completely surpassed Gray’s.
In the crowd, the number of people supporting Lena unconsciously increased.
Lena ignored Gray, which made him feel a little awkward.
“What’s going on?” Ning Shi sat down on the field, unperturbed. Beside him, Figo could not stand it anymore and said,
“Lena will definitely lose this battle. Why are you still so calm? Don’t you know that Gray has been hiding his strength? He has a Level 5 bloodline and is a Level 23 bloodline warrior.
“It’s all because of your bewitchment. If Lena had listened to our suggestion and used her advanced magic core and her unique secret technique, she would definitely be able to defeat Gray!”
Ning Shi was unmoved and did not want to pay attention to Figo at all.
“Alright, Figo, don’t talk to him anymore. He’s just a nobody. He might have decent strength, but he might not know a lot of common sense. He’s probably hoping that Lena can defeat Gray!”
The other nobles heard Tagore’s words and whispered.
“Usually, this only happens when the eight great branches are fighting against other bloodlines. In the battles between the eight great branches, it is rare to fight above one’s level, let alone two levels above one’s level!
Ning Shi was disdainful. These people were ignorant. He had killed the Level 8 bloodline of the eight great branches with a Level 4 bloodline. He could easily fight against those four levels above him.
The grade of the bloodline only represented the upper limit of one’s strength. How much strength one could exert depended on the individual.
He had great confidence in Lena because he used the insight technique.
[ Insight Target: Lena. Spiritual Power Comparison: 26/16, able to inspect all basic information ]

[ Talent: Destiny (purple), learning (purple), combat instinct (purple), unyielding will (purple), fatal strike (purple), regeneration (blue), body of wind (blue)]
[ Achievements: none]
Lena had five purple talents and two blue talents.
Obviously, the two blue talents were acquired after becoming a bloodline warrior, and the five purple talents were innate.
[ Destiny (purple): The person chosen by the world’s will to bear the destiny of leading humanity to rise and fight against the gods and level-surpassing magical beasts. ]
[ Learn (purple): Maximize the human’s innate learning talent. Learn anything with a single try, max comprehension, and increase cultivation effectiveness by 500%.
[ Battle instinct (purple): Possess the most primitive battle instinct, always making the best choice in battle.
[ Unyielding will (purple): The more damage you receive, the stronger your combat power. Your will and resistance will also be enhanced. Your combat power and resistance to will can be increased up to 10 times.
[ Critical strike (purple): There is a 50% chance of a 2x critical hit, a 25% chance of a 3x critical hit, and a 5% chance of a 4x critical hit. The critical hit chances are not stacked. ]
With these five purple talents, Ning Shi finally understood what the Son of Heaven’s mandate was. Compared to Lena, Alesia was probably just trash.
Lena’s duty was to lead the humans to rise up against gods and level surpassing super magical beasts. Alesia’s duty was to unify the continent, and the enemy was the humans themselves.
In terms of the structure of heavenly fate, there was a gap between the two.
These 5 purple talents were really abnormal.
What Ning Shi envied the most was the purple learning talent. He had to level up and add points to be able to quickly upgrade his basic swordsmanship to Level 10. Lena had self-taught and in just two months, she had trained the Cloud Serpent Sword Technique to Level 6.
[ Cloud Serpent Sword Technique Level 6: a sword technique tailored for snake-type bloodline warriors. Level 6 Cloud Serpent Sword Technique. Special traits acquired: Sword Grandmaster, sword damage increased by 200%. ]
[ Wind Fire Enchantment Level 3: Wind Fire Snake’s bloodline skill. After use, your attacks will have weak Wind and Fire Magic damage. ]
With the critical strike talent, combined with the Cloud Serpent Sword Technique and Wind Fire Enchantment, Lena could deal explosive damage. In addition, she had the bonus of her battle instinct and unyielding will.
Ning Shi felt that if Lena’s comprehensive physical value was the same as his, he would definitely not be Lena’s opponent.
A mere Gray, Ning Shi did not put him in his eyes at all.
The referee gave the order and the match began.
Gray’s feet didn’t move, but his arm suddenly stretched out like a spring, and he punched Lena’s face.
Lena lowered her body and dodged the fist. The fist went past her.
Gray’s arm went against the laws of physics and bent 180 degrees. He quickly turned around and attacked Lena!
Lena was facing Gray with her back to the fist, so she couldn’t see Gray’s sneak attack.
A cruel smile flashed across Gray’s mouth. This sneak attack had been tried and tested time and time again. He couldn’t wait to experience the feeling of a fist hitting a physical body!
Smash!
A loud bang was heard!
Gray’s fist hit the sword.
It was as if Lena had eyes on the back of her head. She used her sword to block Gray’s attack and used the power of Gray’s fist to rush toward him.
An afterimage flashed, and Lena threw a punch at Gray’s stomach.
Gray’s body bent forward, and an exaggerated fist-shaped bulge appeared on his back. His whole body was like a large net with tension, easily unloading the power of Lena’s punch.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gray stuck out his tongue like a venomous snake and hit Lena’s arm.
Sizzle!
Lena’s arm was black, and the sound of poison burning could be heard.
Gray had a Level 5 bloodline, so his strength and speed were both higher than Lena’s. He had the upper hand after one successful attack.
Gray kept attacking, and Lena dodged passively. Due to the difference in physical fitness, she was occasionally hit by Gray’s attacks.
The area hit by Gray immediately turned black, and a faint green light was transmitted from Lena’s wound to Gray’s body.
From the looks of it, Lena was at an absolute disadvantage.
