Chapter 293: Chapter 188: Deep Realm Curse 2 With the aid of various Magic Potions, his physical condition was now vastly different from before. The two exchanged blows, their Sword Techniques sharp and fierce. After ten full rounds, neither had gained a clear advantage. Aksa’s strength and speed remained formidable, each strike containing astounding power; while Ron relied on his exquisite Swordsmanship and agile Body Technique to maneuver with him. "Looks like I need to get serious." In the eleventh round, Aksa suddenly stepped back, his gaze becoming sharp. The aura around the Tiger-man changed abruptly, a violent Energy surged from his body, twisting the surrounding air. "Blessings of the Monarch!" Aksa let out a low roar in an ancient Beast Race language Ron didn’t understand. His muscles instantly swelled, and his fur became denser, radiating a golden red glow. Ron felt a powerful pressure coming at him, squinting his eyes unconsciously. "My turn!" He showed no fear, but instead, a hint of excitement played on his lips. Ron gently closed his eyes, starting to mobilize the boiling Bloodline Power within him. ——Life Burst: Boiling Blood With a deep exhale, Ron’s body was instantly enveloped in a faint blood-red aura. His eyes became brighter, the flow of power in his veins was faintly visible beneath his skin. As a Bloodline Knight, "Life Burst" was one of his most fundamental yet practical abilities. By stimulating the potential within his bloodline, he could drastically enhance all bodily functions for a short time. When he opened his eyes again, his entire aura had transformed—sharp, resolute, full of oppressive force. A trace of surprise flashed in Aksa’s eyes, but it was quickly overtaken by the thrill of battle: "Come, young warrior!" With a thunderous battle cry, the Tiger-man swung his Giant Sword, charging at Ron like a streak of golden red lightning. Ron didn’t retreat, but rushed forward to meet him at full speed. The two met in the center of the arena, and the moment their weapons clashed, a visible shockwave erupted, scattering the surrounding gravel and forming a hollow circle about three meters in diameter. The fight became exceptionally fierce. Each of Aksa’s attacks carried enough power to shatter a massive rock. But Ron, under the enhanced reflexes and physical condition of the Blood Boiling State, either dodged or blocked, all the while seeking opportunities to counterattack. As the battle proceeded to the twentieth round, the two were evenly matched. Aksa’s attacks remained fierce, but Ron had already caught up with his rhythm and even managed to occasionally launch counterattacks that kept the Tiger-man master on his toes. Watching this young man who was nearly equal to him, a trace of respect and admiration flickered in Aksa’s eyes. "I didn’t expect you to grow so much in just a few months." The Tiger-man Weapon Master leaped back after a weapon clash, a tone of admiration in his voice. Ron took a deep breath, smiling lightly: "I have to thank our last duel, it gave me a deeper understanding of Swordsmanship." "In that case, let me see your full strength!" Aksa suddenly raised the Giant Sword high, his muscles tensed to the extreme. An unprecedentedly powerful aura burst from the Tiger-man, the surrounding air seemed to ignite, forming a wave of heat visible to the naked eye. Ron knew that Aksa was determined to settle the outcome. "Alright!" He showed no fear, rather his eyes blazed with fighting spirit. During this period, his Blood Boiling Technique had also greatly improved, allowing him to control the eruption and flow of Bloodline Power more precisely. ——Bloodline Resonance: Red Dragon! With a low shout, Ron’s body, now fully assimilated with the Red Blood Flying Dragon Bloodline, was instantly activated, perfectly resonating with his own bloodline. A surging Life Energy erupted from his body, his muscles instantly became more solid, and a faint shadow of red scales was faintly visible on the surface of his skin. This was a bloodline technique he had recently mastered. By resonating with a specific bloodline, he could unleash even greater power for a short time. "Clang!" Both moved simultaneously, their weapons clashed, a deafening metal collision erupted from the center of the arena. Almost at the same moment, they each stepped back several steps, then dashed towards each other like two bolts of lightning. In the arena, only the flashes of swords and the blurred figures could be seen, accompanied by the crisp sound of metal clashing. The speed of their engagement was beyond the limits of visual tracking, leaving only two afterimages intertwining and colliding at the center of the arena. In the rapid exchange, Ron fought with increasing vigor. In the Blood Boiling State, his reflexes and perception reached an unprecedented acuity. He could clearly sense every subtle muscle tension before Aksa’s attacks, every slight change in his breathing during a switch of technique. With the blessing of the Sharpness Unveiled trait, his grasp of Aksa’s weaknesses became increasingly precise. ——Now! Ron seized a tiny opening after Aksa’s sweeping strike, shooting forward like an arrow from a bow, his Longsword thrust at a bizarre angle. This thrust was unbelievably fast, its precision suffocating! Aksa’s expression changed, hastily raising his sword to block, but it was already a step too late. "Clang!" The Longsword clashed with the Giant Sword, but the power contained in this thrust was beyond Aksa’s expectations. The Giant Sword was struck and flew out of his hands, spinning several times in the air before embedding deeply into the ground several meters away. The arena fell into a brief silence. Aksa stood there dumbfounded, looking down at his empty hands, then lifted his gaze to look at Ron.
