Chapter 74: Battle
Chen Heng had imagined many times what his battles with other Knights would be like after becoming a Knight himself.
However, he had never thought that his first Knight battle would be under so many gazes.
Waves of cheers sounded out from all directions.
All around them, the spectators were straining their voices to cheer his name.
They were all hoping for him to win, as well as for this spectacular battle to continue on.
However, Chen Heng could not hear any of this.
All of his attention was focused on his opponent, Delano.
Delano from the Olis Kingdom was undoubtedly a terrifyingly powerful opponent. He was strong to the point that no matter what Chen Heng tried, it was incredibly difficult to defeat him.
The person before him was like an undefeatable giant. Just standing there, he could make his opponent feel chills.
Even Chen Heng could not find a way to defeat him right now, and he could only continuously attack.
Of course, even though Chen Heng felt that the fight was quite difficult, how could Delano feel that things were any easier?
For him, Chen Heng felt like a massive rock that was incredibly firm. No matter what he did, he could not suppress him.
Chen Heng's strength was also terrifying, and he was not like a new Knight at all. Rather, he was like a powerful Knight who had boundless experience.
Facing an opponent like this, he also felt quite troubled and did not know how to defeat him.
The situation came to a standstill.
Soon, both of their bodies gave off a faint white light, and it condensed on their weapons.
This caused the spectators to cry out.
"Knight!" Kelly and the middle-aged man beside him could not help but stand up, looks of shock on their faces.
"So it's like that."
The middle-aged man was shocked but quickly came to his senses, "No wonder Princess Olivia would send Knight Kailin… So he already…"
Chen Heng was already a true Knight.
To be able to condense life energy and use it to cover their bodies and condense it onto their weapons, only true Knights who had awakened their Life Seed could do such a thing.
Chen Heng's actions evidently proved that he had awakened his Life Seed and had become a true Knight.
This battle was no longer a fight between two people on different levels but a fight between Knights.
Moreover, from how things seemed, Delano would not be able to take down Chen Heng any time soon.
There was still more to be watched in this battle.
Many people expressed their shock towards this conclusion.
Knight Delano was no simple person.
As early as ten years ago, he was already a famed figure within the Olis Kingdom. After defeating many other Knights, he had become one of the top-tier experts among Knights.
Seriously speaking, there was not anyone under Princess Olivia's command who could rival this Knight. Even if Knight Mader was in his peak condition, if he faced this Knight Delano, he would certainly lose.
But what was this situation?
A new Knight was fighting on equal footing with Delano, and he was even suppressing him to a degree.
"Her Highness Olivia's foresight is incredible…" Looking at this scene and standing beside Kelly, the middle-aged man could not help but sigh and feel a bit regretful.
He knew that Kelly's relationship with Kailin was quite good, and it was also at his directions that Kelly had put so much effort into getting to know Chen Heng.
Back then, he had not thought too much—he had just felt that Chen Heng had a good reputation and was a strong Apprentice Knight, so he was worth having a good relationship with.
However, it seemed that he still did not take Chen Heng seriously enough and did not notice his true potential.
"If I knew things would turn out like this, I should have married a daughter to him and bound him to our family."
Right now, he felt quite regretful as he thought to himself.
However, it was now too late.
Chen Heng had already married Princess Verna and was Princess Olivia's supporter.
No matter how much other people wanted him, they could only watch on now.
"How is it?"
Watching Chen Heng's performance, Olivia smiled and looked at the middle-aged man next to her.
Under the faint light from the surroundings, the middle-aged man's appearance could be seen.
He was wearing exquisite-looking leather armor, and he had a tall and straight figure. His face was cold and handsome and looked like someone who was difficult to approach.
This was Knight Senban, one of Olivia's three Knights. After Mader had been injured, he replaced him and guarded Olivia.
Standing beside Olivia, he was just as icy-looking as usual and expressionless.
It was just that today, looking at the battle between Chen Heng and Delano in the arena, his expression could no longer remain calm, and a look of shock appeared on his handsome face.
It was evident that he was also quite shocked towards Chen Heng's performance.
"His strength has completely surpassed mine…" standing beside Olivia, after silently spectating for a while, he sighed and said.
"Both of these people are stronger than me. If I were to fight them in a direct fight, I would most likely be killed by them."
Be killed…
Olivia's heart trembled and also felt quite shocked.
"Kailin is this powerful already?"
She thought to herself.
Before, she had thought that Chen Heng's strength had been exaggerated.
Olivia had sent Chen Heng to fight Delano so that Chen Heng would take a psychological blow so that he would develop more steadily.
She had never thought that…
Chen Heng's strength was not exaggerated at all, and in fact, he had been quite humble.
With the strength he was displaying, even Mader at his peak would be nothing in front of him.
However, this was good too. No matter how powerful Chen Heng became, he would still be her subordinate, so him being stronger was better.
The stronger Chen Heng was, the stronger she would be.
As such, she gave a slight smile.
"Do your best," she muttered to herself, "Let me see your limit."
Compared to Olivia, other people were not as calm.
For example, Verna was jumping up and down anxiously.
She looked at the battle below, and seeing the fight between Chen Heng and Delano, she could not help but feel worried.
