Chapter 717: Social Club (7)
The awakening of superpowers had enhanced the body's individual attributes in a way that completely defied the boundaries of science. With each awakening, the human body took another step toward something beyond human.
For strength-type Awakened like Zhao Guoqiang, the enhancement of their physical abilities brought about by superpowers was the strongest among all types.
The water blade, concealed by the mist and the sound of water droplets, suddenly struck. However, at the critical moment, Zhao Guoqiang relied on his acute sense of hearing to perceive the attack. He had no time to evade and used the bundle of steel rods in his hands to block it.
Ding ding.
Two faint metallic sounds rang out. Two steel rods, each as thick as a finger, instantly showed two half-centimeter deep dents. Zhao Guoqiang’s heart tightened. He had already tested the power of the opponent’s water blade, and the conclusion was clear. It was not to be underestimated.
His reaction was swift. He immediately threw four steel rods in the direction the water blade had come from.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The steel rods turned into streaks of black light, piercing through the air like sniper bullets. They shot into the mist, leaving four slowly fading holes in the fog. But the sound that followed in the next instant clearly told Zhao Guoqiang that the steel rods had once again embedded themselves into the rocky ground. They failed to hit any human target.
He did not dare to remain in his original position. He flung six steel rods behind him to ensure that Yoshida Maya’s figure was not in that location. At the same time, he backpedaled in that direction to reposition himself.
Chi chi chi!
Four water blades slashed through the air from different angles, shredding the spot where Zhao Guoqiang had originally been. In the blink of an eye, both fighters displayed their combat skills and reflexes to the fullest.
Overall, the situation was not in Zhao Guoqiang’s favor. The combination of mist, water blades and the sound of water droplets had turned the entire arena into Yoshida Maya’s domain.
