“Everyone, look at that water ball!”
Someone among the spectators shouted, drawing everyone’s gaze together.
Suddenly, a change occurred.
After shrinking, the water ball changed its original offensive stance and converted its massive impact force into piercing power.
At this moment, A Fu’s waterbending could no longer hold out.
A light blue jet of water shot out from within, heading straight for his chest.
Seeing that things were going south, A Fu waved his hand and layered a thin stream of water in front of his chest.
The water column was already right before his eyes.
He could only take it head-on.
In the next second, A Fu was sent flying.
He lay on the ground in a pathetic state.
After a few seconds, he slowly crawled up from the ground, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth caused by the shock.
“Kid Koda, that move isn’t bad!”
Koda himself hadn’t expected the water ball to undergo such a change.
It seemed he still had many moves to discover.
Since A Fu thought he was controlling it, he had to keep up the act.
“Haha, did my water ball taste good?”
Not far away, A Fu’s face, which had been somewhat gratified, darkened upon hearing this.
“You brat, you start floating the moment someone praises you.
An attack of that level won’t hit at all as long as I’m not close to you.
Besides, it consumes a lot of energy, doesn’t it?
With your current state, you can’t use it many times!”
“Tch.”
It was annoying to have the weakness of his move discovered, but it was also within expectations.
If A Fu couldn’t figure it out, Koda would have suspected him of having some scheme, but A Fu was as thick-headed as ever.
A Shou watched from the sidelines in shock.
Koda had actually gained the upper hand in the first clash.
Judging by the momentum of that single move, even he wasn’t completely sure he could have blocked it.
“Kid Koda has really grown so much stronger!” he marveled sincerely in his heart.
He wasn’t the only one with this view.
Previously, whenever they heard A Fu talk about how he beat up Koda, they always believed him.
But now, Koda had grown so much without anyone noticing, reaching a level where he could contend with A Fu.
Alongside the gratification in their hearts, there was also a hint of bitterness.
The child had grown up, left their protection, and could now grow on his own.
…
Back to the duel, the previous round could only be considered a relatively intense probe.
The real battle was only beginning now!
Koda struck first, not wanting his advantage to slowly slip away.
He casually sent six Water Blades flying out!
Seeing the Water Blades speeding toward him, A Fu, who wanted to take the chance to recover, couldn’t care about his injuries.
He dodged with a roll.
The Water Blades kicked up clouds of dust on the ground.
“You fell for it!”
Seeing his goal achieved, Koda used the move he had been planning for a long time.
Several hands made of water suddenly emerged from the ground and grabbed A Fu’s ankles.
They held him firmly in place.
This move couldn’t be aimed directly at A Fu, otherwise he would sense the direction of the underground moisture flow and guess Koda’s objective.
This kind of technique could only be used in places with sufficient underground moisture, which was a huge limitation, but the Swamp Forest was perfect.
Using the Water Blades as a feint, he interrupted A Fu’s recovery and made him fall into the trap he had set long ago.
Of course, these means could only hold A Fu for a few seconds, or even less.
But that was enough!
Lao Huatou, go get him!!!
From the floating dust, a Catgator could be seen flying out, slamming hard into A Fu’s back and sending him flying.
Not only that, but Koda condensed six more Water Blades.
At this moment, A Fu’s defeat was imminent.
The spectators were dumbfounded by the combo Koda had pulled off.
They saw it very clearly: from the start of the battle until now, A Fu had been on the defensive the whole time.
He wanted to counterattack but had no opportunity, which was extremely frustrating.
This didn’t mean A Fu was weak or Koda was exceptionally strong.
He only had himself to blame for underestimating his opponent at the start and having an unclear perception of Koda’s strength.
Now everything had fallen into Koda’s rhythm of attack.
Victory seemed obvious, but only Koda thought so.
The tips of the six Water Blades shimmered with a faint blue light and arrived in an instant.
Three hit A Fu’s body, while the other three hit the ground behind him.
Dust swirled up, enveloping A Fu within.
“Did it succeed?” Koda panted slightly.
Using such powerful attacks every time consumed a lot of physical strength, not to mention he was only eight and a half years old.
His daily training still wasn’t enough to support high-intensity combat.
Low-consumption attack methods were useless against A Fu.
That would only waste his own strength.
Competing with him in stamina was a foolish act.
Therefore, Koda only sought a quick resolution and had formulated several tactical plans.
Judging by the current results, it seemed to have gone very well.
However, he still stared solemnly at the gradually dissipating smoke.
He couldn’t let down his guard until the final moment.
He remembered the lessons Father had taught him with absolute clarity.
“You’ve really given me a surprise, Kid Koda.
I didn’t expect you to become so formidable.”
A Fu’s slightly surprised voice came from within, showing no sign of weakness.
Instead, it was full of vigor.
“If you can still suppress me this time, then I really should re-evaluate you.
I hope you can make me look at you in a new light again.”
The dust cleared, revealing A Fu.
His lean body was covered in a thin layer of Ice Armor.
Where the Water Blades had hit, the ice was cracked, and the skin beneath was red and swollen.
But it was only that.
No substantial damage had been caused.
“How can this be!”
Koda cried out in shock.
Under the attack of his enhanced Water Blades, he had only caused superficial injuries.
How could the defensive capability of this thin Ice Armor be so high?
“Has no one ever told you that what I specialize in is Ice Manipulation Art, not Water Control Technique?”
A Fu grinned, looking at Koda as he spoke slowly.
“Looking at your surprised expression, it seems you really didn’t know.
A Shou didn’t even tell you something like this?
That’s truly hilarious.”
Koda’s mouth twitched violently.
Father, how could you screw me over like this!
What should I do now?
He looked down at Lao Huatou.
It seemed you can’t help much either.
At this time, A Fu slowly stood up from the ground and said calmly, “When I practiced with you before, there was simply no need to use Ice Manipulation Art.
I thought you knew.
Now it seems if you thought my strength was only that much, then you are dead wrong.
Since you don’t have any newer moves, then it’s my turn to counterattack.
It’s not too late to admit defeat now, to avoid suffering more physical pain.”
Although Koda had no more schemes, he could only take it one step at a time now.
“Stop talking big.
If you can do it, then bring it on.
Let me see where the strength of your Ice Manipulation Art lies.”
The spectators watching the duel weren’t too surprised by the sudden change in the situation.
They all knew A Fu hadn’t used his Ice Manipulation Art yet.
Now that A Fu was forced to use his full strength, the highlight of the duel was just beginning.
Three Ice Spikes slowly formed behind A Fu and were shot out with a wave of his hand.
Clearly, he intended to settle Koda with thunderous momentum.
Due to the shape and mass of the Ice Spikes, it meant they would approach the target at an even faster speed.
Seeing the Ice Spikes before him were unavoidable, Koda could only take them head-on.
He also put forth a waterbending defense.
From now on, he had to manage every bit of his physical strength to deal with the ensuing situation.
As A Fu expected, the Ice Spikes were blocked, but it wasn’t a big problem.
“Want to compete with me in stamina?
Can you block three, or can you block six, or even nine?”
The Ice Spikes continuously battered the waterbending shield Koda had established.
To keep the defense firm, he even funneled a bit more energy into it, yet it still showed signs of being broken.
Sweat poured down his determined face.
“Damn it, can I only use that move now?
But I’m not very proficient with it yet!
Continuing to defend will still result in a loss.
I might as well risk it!”
Facing A Fu’s relentless tactics, Koda gritted his teeth hard.
He could only take a gamble.
It was his only hope of winning.
