Chapter 19 – “Match” King of Debate

“Haha, boss, you’re kidding, right? How could that bear’s defense be so fragile?”

Laura stopped speaking, letting both Anlor and Arnold watch the fight . The two combatants were similar; they both possessed normal combat prowess, but excelled in one particular area . They also only used fundamental feints and counters . Although All-Mouthy King’s soul power was quite weak, his control over his soul power was precise, meaning he could leverage his strengths against his opponent’s weak points .

Bluntly speaking, it all came down to opportunities . Even the most flexible assassin had to risk their life to land a killing blow .

When he observed Juan’s shockwave clap, Teuton was also interested, since it resembled that deflection technique . It was the final punch, however, that had Teuton staring at the monitor in disbelief .

What the hell was this?

Laura smiled slightly in Anlor’s direction . Laura herself had pondered over the punch for quite a long time, but still could not determine the presence of a hidden ability . However, she felt that Anlor, being a member of the Heavy Clan, would be able to decipher this killing move To properly utilise an ability, it must be practiced constantly over period of time, yet All-Mouthy King had not done so .

“Slow down the frame-rate…” Anlor suddenly said .

However, there was a limit to how much a playback could be slowed, thus it ended up as an blurry image . Still, Anlor’s face turned incredibly grim as he sucked in a deep breath .

“It might be… Oscillating Fist…”

“Oscillating Fist, what’s that…” said Arnold with a smile . “Wait . What? Oscillating Fist!?”

Laura shuddered . “Are you telling me that that explosive and destructive killing blow relied on oscillating soul power at a high frequency?”

Anlor nodded, then shook his head . “Since I didn’t watch personally, I’m not wholly certain, but from the shape of the injury, it was most likely caused by the first-rate, high frequency battle technique, Oscillating Fist . ”

“Isn’t it unlikely? The skill itself is a double-edged blade . Without a powerful body and excellent control over soul power, the move cannot be executed . ”

“The punch’s soul power was roughly 200 grassos, practically impossible for Juan to block . If I could experience it for myself, then I could be certain” Anlor’s eyes sparkled in anticipation .

Arnold looked at the terrifying depression in Juan’s chest and shuddered . “You’re all perverts, masochists!”

All high-level battle techniques required a strong body and precise control over one’s soul power . Furthermore, to execute the technique, one needs a considerable amount of soul power as well as the ability to compress it quickly, which results in extreme pressure placed on the body and soul sea . If complications were to occur, then one would self-destruct, while the opponent is unharmed . If executed properly, however, synergy occurs and a summative force greater than the total input forms .

At the time when the forums were in chaos, Explosive Bear Goddess Laura uploaded an analysis that included a description of the Oscillating Fist . This immediately started a new round of discussion, since high-level battle techniques were rarely seen even in the elite division, let alone the cannon fodder division . Brother Mouthy, just how fucking awesome are you?

With three expert wins, a bottom scrubber had suddenly transformed into a powerhouse .

“Looks like my goddess Laura is a fan of Brother King, hehe . ”

“Scram! As if you have any relation with my goddess . ”

As a natural fire ability user with an enticing figure, Laura was extremely sexy and charming .

Incidentally, as the chaotic discussion continued, another goddess uploaded her views .

It was Laura’s rival from the New Continent’s southern city, Flame City; Fire Cannon Sharmie . Undoubtedly, the two were at the forefront of their generation, with both ranked amongst the best in terms of soul power . Laura’s specialty was her sentient soul beast, Fiery Explosion Bear, while Sharmie’s specialty was her unique ability, Flame Burst, which required perfect control over her soul power . Both of them were known as the best fire ability users of the new generation .

Normally, the cannon fodder division held no interest to them, yet suddenly, Laura began to post about a newbie in the cannon fodder division, causing Sharmie to see this as an opportunity to distinguish herself . Being rivals, and furthermore, captains of their respective battle squadrons, they both possessed a critical eye for judging a person’s potential . This led them to compete in more than just combat skills .

After Laura had uploaded her post that thoroughly analyzed the match, Sharmie immediately made a follow-up post, expressing her view that All-Mouthy King was the alias of an elite division combatant, making Laura’s review of his strong and weak points silly .

Sharmie was delighted that she could use this opportunity to finally gain an upper-hand over Laura . During the match, the amount of soul power All-Mouthy King used was low, yet his control over it was exquisite . This clearly indicated that All-Mouthy King was just an alias, and that it was extremely silly that Laura did a detailed analysis of him .

“B-big sis… this…” The hesitant voice came from Mario, a Flaming Squadron member who couldn’t help but say something .

“ ‘Big’ your head . If you have anything to say, then say it out now!” Sharmie shouted . With her explosive temper, she couldn’t deal with hesitation .

“Hehe, big sis, that All-Mouthy King isn’t a nickname . It’s a username that’s already been used for over a year now and has a victory rate of 99 losses . Those three previous matches were his only wins,” Mario said cautiously .

Sharmie stared in shock . As a minute passed, the temperature of the room began to slowly rise…

“You slowpoke, why didn’t you say so earlier!? Go die!”

A member that was standing outside said, “Vice-captain Mario is so pitiful . Just what is the secret to his flame resistance?”

“Our squad captain is perfect in every way, except for that explosive temper . ”

“It’s the same with captain’s chest, haha . ”

“Shush! This is her taboo, be careful or you’ll be roasted alive!”

Mario, who had just been blown away by those flames, gave off a charred smell as he thought, I really should consider just shaving my head bald .

Just as Sharmie had anxiously expected, the forums once again exploded into discussions . Everyone knew that both Sharmie and Laura were competing to be the number one fire ability user .

Sharmie, indeed, was talented . Even before casting her Heroic Soul, she had an extremely high level of soul power . With her abundant soul sea, her soul power output could be considered limitless . Laura, on the other hand, not only was she a fire ability user, but she was also a spirit user who possessed a spirit soul beast . This made Laura stand out more, which was something the haughty Sharmie couldn’t stand .

Yet, only one phrase was stuck to the Explosive Goddess, which was ‘big chest, no brains’… keke, although saying ‘no brains’ was a bit much, it didn’t help that her impulsive actions didn’t have much thought behind them .

Seeing Sharmie’s post, Laura broke out into laughter . “Ha! She really is a dairy cow . ”

Anlow and Arnold exchanged glances, both understanding the other’s feelings . Those two sacks were definitely ‘lethal’ weapons, ah…

Girls were very sensitive . Laura was no exception as she asked, “Hehe, what are the two of you thinking about?”

“Nothing, boss, what you said is correct . That fellow is definitely a dairy cow with big breasts and no brains!” Anlor replied hurriedly, his reaction faster than Arnold’s .
