The knights exchanged glances with one another. None of them had expected that a warrior could successfully withstand this move during the very first bout with Daina. Evidently, it came as a great shock to everyone, and even Guinevere's eyes betrayed a trace of astonishment.

  "The most crucial point is that he is so young," which was what astonished Daina even more. She had become a Bronze inhabitant at the age of 20, while this fellow named Kenley was only 18 years old, achieving it two years earlier than her.

  Was it due to his rapid reflexes? No, it was experience. Or rather, it should be a combination of experience and reflexes. But it was simply inconceivable for someone so young to possess such experience and reflexes.

  "Was it just a stroke of luck?" Daina could only hazard such a guess.

  "But my next sword strike won't allow you to be so leisurely," a glint flashed in Daina's eyes, and she suddenly leaped backward with great force.

  What was this? Kenley's eyelids twitched, as if he had discerned something.

  Daina, who had just retreated moments ago, rebounded once again. Her body was like a violently propelled crossbow. With each leap, countless afterimages seemed to emerge. From left to right, countless sword lights continuously flashed. Even though the sword hadn't been unsheathed, those bursts of sword light were so tangible that the surrounding knights, who were watching the battle, squinted their eyes.

  "Here it comes, the renowned signature move of the Knight Commander, the Three-Leaf Flash Sword!" one of the knights couldn't help but exclaim. Although they were a bit surprised that Kenley had blocked Daina's first strike earlier, when faced with this move, not a single knight present dared to claim that they could withstand it all. As far as they could remember, the strongest among them, the Vice Knight Commander, had only managed to withstand the first two segments. Up to now, the Vice Knight Commander still hadn't found a way to counter the final segment.

  The reason why the Three-Leaf Flash Sword was terrifying was that it ignored all forms of confinement, blockade, and control, enabling a powerful breakthrough against the enemy. The Three-Leaf Flash Sword, with its inherent indestructible body effect, once it locked onto the opponent, ensured that the opponent would be struck without fail.

  Guinevere also squinted her eyes. She was eagerly anticipating Kenley's subsequent performance. Tia was no exception. With her hands tightly clutching her chest in tension, Tia, whose secondary profession was a brawler, could naturally perceive the ingenuity of the Three-Leaf Flash Sword, and she began to worry about her master.

  "Bang!" Kenley turned around and immediately parried!

  Holding the sword with both hands, he dared not be negligent. The opponent's strength points far exceeded his own, and with the enhancement of the Peerless Royal Sword, even though it hadn't been unsheathed, its power remained astonishing. Kenley's ultimate countermeasure was delivered with perfect timing. Since he could fully withstand the Double Triple-Blade Quick Slash, he naturally had no fear of the Three-Leaf Flash Sword.

  With his nerves highly concentrated, his eyes, ears, and all his senses were fully alert, accurately capturing every movement of the enemy.

  "This is impossible!" a knight exclaimed in disbelief.

  It was his first encounter with the Three-Leaf Flash, yet Kenley managed to block the first segment right from the start!

  With a muffled groan, Kenley endured the powerful impact and took a step backward. But as soon as the tip of his back foot touched the ground, he immediately pushed off, instantly adjusting his stance.

  However, the second segment of the Three-Leaf Flash Sword followed closely on the heels! It gave Kenley almost no time to catch his breath, and another strike came immediately! This strike was different from the first one. Although the first strike could be parried, the second strike ignored parries, and this move was extremely difficult to counter.

  One could use a flash step to evade by displacement， but the most terrifying aspect of the first two segments of the Three-Leaf Flash lay in their incredibly rapid succession. Many people had just managed to parry the first segment and hadn't had the chance to react and use a flash step to dodge the second strike before they were hit. They didn't even have the opportunity to react and would be directly knocked out of the arena.

  But Kenley was even faster! His body seemed to suddenly shift horizontally, like a phantom. The strike passed right by the edge of Kenley's garment! He had actually evaded it!

  "How is this possible!?" The knights widened their eyes in shock. Could this young man be a genius on par with the Vice Knight Commander?! To be so talented at such a young age... No, that wasn't right. Perhaps his talent even surpassed that of the Vice Knight Commander!

  The 0.3-second invincibility frame effect of the flash step came into play. Kenley had just finished parrying， and in less than 0.1 seconds， he immediately used a flash step， catching even Daina off guard.

  A fierce glint appeared in Daina's eyes. The tip of her sword changed once again, and with a sweep of light, she immediately launched the third segment!

  The third segment was not so easy to deal with. The knights couldn't fathom how Kenley would avoid the final segment because the last segment came with its own displacement blockade. One couldn't use assault-type skills like a flash step or a charge to evade it， and this was precisely the most terrifying aspect of the third segment.

  The Sprouting move wouldn't work either. Although Sprouting was a sword technique, it also had a displacement attribute and would be blocked. An ultimate countermeasure might be feasible, but the time was too short. The succession of the third strike was less than 0.15 seconds, and it was simply beyond the ability of an average person to counter it. What should he do? Everyone held their breath.

  Bang!

  Like the resounding toll of a dreamlike great bell, it jolted everyone out of their overly concentrated attention.

  Kenley's ultimate countermeasure was delivered in a timely manner. With a single parry, he sealed off all of Daina's offensive routes!

  "This is simply impossible!!" Some people opened their mouths wide in amazement, some removed their helmets and gasped for breath, and some even wiped the sweat from their brows. Since the knights often practiced sword techniques, they had been watching the battle with rapt attention, constantly simulating in their minds what they would do if they were Kenley. They asked themselves how they would deal with the final strike, but none of them could come up with an answer.

  "Brilliant!" Guinevere couldn't help but applaud.

  Tia also heaved a sigh of relief and smiled sweetly at her master:"You're amazing, Master!"

  "Who on earth are you?!" Daina sheathed her sword and couldn't help but inquire. She even began to doubt Kenley's identity because she had never encountered a warrior as young as Kenley with such extensive experience. This was clearly out of the ordinary.

  Kenley stood there alone:"Just a farmer from Laupa Town."

  Tia was the first to burst into laughter, but she immediately covered her mouth and looked around. Fortunately, no one noticed. However, her pretty face turned bright red. Her master was so fond of playing pranks. He was clearly a descendant of a hero, yet he claimed to be a farmer.

  But then again, when she first met her master, wasn't he dressed like a farmer?

  Daina's mouth twitched:"I don't believe it! I still have one final move that I haven't used! I..."

  "That's enough, Daina," Guinevere stepped forward in a timely fashion.

  "But sister..."

  "Daina, you have already used your renowned Three-Leaf Flash Sword, and that move just now was equivalent to three strikes. If we continue the match, won't it give the impression that our Christophon family is bullying a young man?" Guinevere furrowed her brow.

  "I... all right." Daina clearly had become more and more engrossed in the fight and was reluctant to stop. She gave the young man a resentful look, thinking that she would challenge him to another match later. This wasn't over today!
