Just as the hearts of the spectators wavered.
On the dueling platform, although Clemente was in a sorry state, there was not the slightest hint of panic in his eyes.
On the contrary, there was a faint expression of excitement and excitement.
Clemente looked at Joelson, his eyes flickering, filled with the will to fight.
It had been three thousand years since he had met such a worthy opponent!
Ever since he had gone to the Supreme Academy and returned to the Orencia Empire.
There was not a single genius in the entire Orencia Empire who could exchange more than ten moves with him.
And now, although he had only exchanged one move with Joelson, he could already feel that Joelson's strength was not inferior to his!
An ordinary-looking longsword appeared in Clemente's hand. However, as soon as the longsword appeared, the air around the sword started to show small scratches.
Clemente held the longsword tightly in his hand. The blood-red slaughter law and the dark gold metal law turned into a sparkling light that twined around the sword.
It suddenly emitted a terrifying power.
"Let me see how strong you are! Joelson!"
Clemente shouted at Joelson. He stomped his feet and turned into a streak of light, dashing towards Joelson.
Joelson looked at Clemente calmly. The slaughter sword slowly appeared in his hand. A dazzling platinum light flashed on the tip of the sword.
Clang!
The sound of metal colliding rang out, and the loud sound spread throughout the Imperial City Plaza.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the scene before them.
They could only see Clemente gripping his longsword tightly as he engaged in a fierce battle with Joelson, who was also wielding his longsword.
The sudden dazzling light caused Clemente to be unable to help but squint his eyes slightly. However, the longsword in his hand that was stabbing towards Joelson did not stop at all. He continued to stab forward.
Compared to Clemente's fierce attack, Joelson only waved his sword slightly and deflected Clemente's attack.
Joelson did not wait for Clemente to attack again. Instead, he chose to attack after the first attack.
Joelson casually waved the sword that was shining with a white-gold light and attacked Clemente continuously.
Clemente had a difficult expression on his face as he continuously parried the longsword that was brandishing at him. He did not have the slightest chance to retaliate.
Joelson's attack seemed very casual.
However, only he knew how sharp the platinum light shining on the Longsword was!
Even he could only barely resist.
As for giving up on defense and choosing to attack, it was impossible.
He knew that even if his sword pierced through, it might not be able to seriously injure Joelson. However, if he was struck by the platinum light from Joelson's longsword, he would definitely suffer irreversible damage in an instant.
Therefore, he could only choose to barely resist and wait for Joelson to reveal a flaw!
Below the dueling platform, the spectators all widened their eyes as they looked at the scene on the stage with disbelief.
What did they just see?
The number one genius of the Orencia Empire, the Blade of Orencia, Clemente!
He was actually so easily suppressed by Joelson?
How was that possible?
"Lord Clemente is going to lose?"
"Joelson is actually so strong?"
Everyone looked at this scene in a daze as they started discussing.
At this moment, someone spoke up.
It was the arena lord who was watching the duel on the other dueling platform.
The arena lord looked at Clemente who was barely resisting and revealed a thoughtful expression as if he had thought of something.
Then, he said, "Clemente hasn't used his full strength. His special state hasn't been activated yet!"
Hearing this, someone revealed a puzzled expression and asked, "What special state?"
The surrounding crowd also turned their gazes towards the arena lord, their hearts filled with doubt.
They had never heard of Clemente having any special state.
However, some people revealed looks of anticipation. They had heard of some rumors before.
The arena lord continued to speak, "I once saw Clemente fight with a super genius from the Divine Nation of Slaughter. Back then, Clemente was also like this, completely suppressed."
"But very quickly, Clemente entered a special state. Under that special state, Clemente only used one move to defeat the super genius from the Divine Nation of Slaughter who had completely suppressed him!"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Clemente, their hearts filled with shock.
Clemente had such a special ability?
They had never heard of it, much less seen it with their own eyes.
Didn't this mean that Clemente could still become the number one genius of the Orencia Empire while concealing his strength?
If he were to unleash his full strength, how terrifying would that be?
"But it's a pity." The arena lord revealed a regretful expression. He continued, "Clemente only used one move to defeat his opponent so that state only lasted for an instant. That's why I can only see this, and don't know anything else."
Not only were they not disappointed, but their gazes towards Clemente became even more expectant.
This time, would Clemente use this state as well?
And if Clemente used this state, how long would Joelson be able to last?
At this moment, the gazes of everyone in the Imperial Capital Plaza were focused on the two of them. In fact, many people, upon learning that Clemente had acted, had come from other cities via teleportation arrays.
More and more experts began to gather in the Imperial Capital Plaza. Not only were quite a few gods here, even some of the highgods of the Imperial Capital had come to watch this battle.
On the dueling platform.
However, Joelson and Clemente didn't pay any attention to the reactions of the surrounding people.
Right now, in their eyes, there was only the opponent in front of them.
Ever since Clemente had taken out his longsword, he had been suppressed, barely able to block Joelson's casual attacks.
Looking at the longsword that Joelson had swung at him, Clemente did not choose to dodge. Instead, he swung his sword with equal ferocity.
Clang!
The two longswords collided.
Clemente's immense strength forced Joelson to retreat a few steps, and he himself followed suit.
In this way, he forcefully stopped Joelson's relentless onslaught.
Joelson did not attack again.
The two of them looked at each other.
Clemente looked at Joelson and revealed a fervent and excited gaze. He said, "It's impossible for us to determine the winner like this. Bring out all of your strength, Joelson!"
"I will also bring out all of my strength. We will each use our strongest attack and determine the winner in one move!"
Looking at Clemente's excited expression, Joelson's expression was calm. His gaze was like a deep ocean.
In the end, Joelson nodded slightly.
"Sure."
