Chapter 1142 The Might of the Royalty
However, there was no hint of fear in Alan Smith’s eyes as he faced the giant lion on the battlefield.

….
On the contrary, from Alan Smith’s demeanor, all people could discern was a profound sense of determination.

Confronted with a formidable adversary, Alan Smith anticipated nothing but an exhilarating battle!

“That’s right. Alan Smith’s spirit would never settle for surrender.”

“Without that drive, Alan Smith would never have come this far. Perhaps that’s the mindset of a true powerhouse!”

“At this point, there’s nothing we can do but place our trust in Alan Smith.”

“At worst, if we lose or get injured, it’s inconsequential. Alan Smith shouldn’t be in any mortal danger.”

“Indeed, even if Alan Smith were to lose this bout, it would still be meaningful and enlightening for him.”

“After all, we sent the rookie into battle primarily for the sake of experience. Winning or losing isn’t the main concern.”

At this juncture, everyone recollected their initial purpose. They had opted to send the rookie from Team Origin first for the sake of gaining experience.

Even if they ended up on the losing side or suffered injuries, as long as they survived and gained something, it would be worthwhile. It would mean they had achieved their original objective.

After adjusting their mindsets, everyone ceased to worry about Alan Smith. Instead, they fixed their gaze solely on the stage, eagerly anticipating the commencement of the battle.

This constituted a clash between a rookie and a veteran. Alan Smith, as a rookie to Team Origin, boasted exceptional talent. Meanwhile, the giant lion opposite him, a veteran, had long been honing its skills within the Wind Barrier. Moreover, it was a mutated creature with formidable abilities.

Such a confrontation promised to be a spectacle of strength. It was bound to be incredibly thrilling!

Simultaneously, the Will of Tower had already initiated the final countdown. This signified that the duel between Alan Smith and the giant red lion was on the verge of commencing.

The moment the countdown reached its conclusion, Alan Smith took the initiative to launch an attack on the giant red lion.

Alan Smith channeled the fire attribute elemental power coursing through his body to its utmost limit.

The SS-grade Dragon-scaled Fiery Armor emitted a brilliant red glow as it responded to the activation of the fire attribute elemental powers.

Alan Smith’s entire form radiated with light, akin to the brilliance of the red sun, utterly dazzling.

The SS-grade Dragon-scaled Fiery Armor was inherently a fire attribute equipment. Under the activation of fire attribute elemental powers, Alan Smith’s entire body was covered in terrifying fire attribute elemental powers.

The fire attribute elemental powers were versatile, serving both defensive and offensive purposes. They not only aided Alan Smith in defense but also fueled his attacks.

Facing a formidable adversary, Alan Smith didn’t entertain any illusions or attempt to probe. He launched straight into his lethal technique.

Alan Smith promptly triggered the God’s Effect of the SS-grade Dragon-scaled Fiery Armor, Gale Flame Slash!

This technique fused Alan Smith with the SS-grade Dragon-scaled Fiery Armor, melding his body into the hilt and the armor into the blade. Together, they transformed into a colossal flaming sword that swiftly surged toward the giant red lion.

Gale Flame Slash inflicted multiple bursts of damage in a short span, ideal for targeting single opponents!

Meanwhile, the giant red lion showed no fear in the face of Alan Smith’s assault. Instead, it charged forward, meeting Alan Smith head-on.

Covered in a fiery red glow, the giant red lion’s crimson fur exuded the same red light, indicative of its mastery over fire attribute powers.

While giant lions typically excelled in close-quarters combat relying on sheer physical strength, this mutated specimen exhibited a remarkable proficiency in wielding fire attribute powers.

As Alan Smith and the giant red lion closed in, both emanated a brilliant red radiance, channeling their fire attribute elemental powers to their utmost.

Alan Smith was also somewhat surprised by this scene, not expecting the giant red lion to be proficient in fire attribute elemental powers.

Nevertheless, with no room for retreat, Alan Smith steeled himself for the confrontation. Even though he recognized his inferiority, he had no choice but to face the challenge head-on. Retreat now would only lead to a greater disadvantage.

In the blink of an eye, Alan Smith and the giant red lion collided.

Both sides possessed physical strength and fire attribute powers.

The difference lay in the giant red lion’s overwhelming physical prowess compared to Alan Smith’s. Meanwhile, Alan Smith could rely on the SS-grade Dragon-scaled Fiery Armor.

Upon collision, intense power fluctuations ensued, quickly overwhelming Alan Smith, who hastily retreated.

As the dust settled, a man and a lion stood revealed.

The giant red lion emerged unscathed, while Alan Smith bore bleeding wounds from a single strike, indicating the vast gap between them.

Alan Smith’s expression turned serious. He hadn’t anticipated the giant red lion’s proficiency in fire attribute elemental powers and its formidable mastery.

Beyond that, the giant red lion wielded terrifying physical strength. Combined, their might was formidable.

If Alan Smith hadn’t relied on the SS-grade Dragon-scaled Fiery Armor just now, many of the impacts would have been absorbed by the armor. Otherwise, Alan Smith himself, with his strength alone, probably wouldn’t have been able to withstand that blow.

Nevertheless, Alan Smith was now heavily injured.

The experts from Team Origin were taken aback by the scene.

“Don’t giant lions primarily engage in close combat?”

“This giant lion’s adeptness with elemental powers is unexpected. Its mastery is impressive!”

“With such command over elemental powers and fearsome physical strength, it seems invincible.”

“Alan Smith is outmatched. He must exercise caution and consider withdrawal.”

“Alan Smith should concede to avert further danger.”

“The strength of this giant red lion surpasses expectations. Continuing the battle risks Alan Smith’s safety.”

“But given Alan Smith’s temperament, admitting defeat now seems unlikely.”

“This giant red lion truly lives up to its royal lineage among the giant lion race, mastering elemental powers. No wonder it’s royalty!”

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Alan Smith, upon realizing the giant lion’s terrifying strength, didn’t opt for a cautious surrender. Instead, he pressed forward with renewed aggression.

Alan Smith was seen wielding two swords, the Blood Flame Sword in his left hand and the Burning Wind Dual Sword in his right, as he once again took the initiative to attack the giant red lion opposite him.

Alan Smith’s figure seemed quite diminutive compared to the giant red lion.

His solitary figure exuded a sense of resolute determination.

However, Alan Smith’s advancing strides in the attack showed no hesitation whatsoever, displaying firm resolve!
