Chapter 98: -86- Outrageous Power

"Have you heard? Lord Charlotte is going to duel Lord Rand!"

"Ah? Is Lord Rand going to be the punching bag again?"

"Not this time! Lord Rand has become a Transcendent Knight!"

"Ah? Then why is he still fighting Lord Charlotte?"

"But Lord Charlotte has also advanced in rank!"

"What? Why didn’t you say so earlier! Are they fighting in the training room? Let’s go and see!"

The news of Charlotte’s duel with Rand quickly spread throughout Castel Manor.

Upon hearing the news, almost all of the servants rushed to the training room.

Watching Transcendents fight was one of the few entertainments in the world of Mireya, not to mention that this time, the fighters were Rankers!

Inside the training room, the crowd of onlookers continued to grow, and even Sherry hobbled over on her crutches to witness the scene.

Charlotte and Rand stood in the center of the training room, and even the closest spectators were several tens of meters away.

Even so, it wasn’t a safe distance, as the destructive power of Rankers fighting was too great. A few Magic Apprentices had already called Nisi over to help cast protective spells.

"Meow meow meow? You’re actually going to fight this little one? Miss Charlotte seems to be in a good mood, and she really knows how to bully someone."

The Black Cat muttered to itself while casting a First Tier Magic Shield.

However, to the others, the two people in the arena were entirely different.

On one side was a delicate and adorable young girl, and on the other was a tall and sturdy young man.

Neither of them wore armor nor held weapons, clearly intending to engage in hand-to-hand combat.

Even knowing that both had entered the Starry Rank, a servant couldn’t help but say,

"I heard Lord Rand has awakened the Rock Bloodline; isn’t that a bit unfair for Lord Charlotte?"

"Unfair? Heh, it’s indeed unfair."

Hearing the servants’ discussion, Nisi rolled its eyes.

Then it said to the two on the arena,

"Miss Charlotte, the Magic is ready!"

Charlotte nodded and looked at Casimodo. Casimodo hesitated, glanced at Nisi nibbling on dried fish by the side, and feeling reassured, he announced,

"The duel... begins!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the onlookers held their breath, their eyes glued to the sparring ground.

"Lord Charlotte, please go first. We will stop once we touch, just to test our strength."

Rand performed a knightly salute and said respectfully.

"Alright, but you can go first."

Charlotte smiled and shook her head.

Rand hesitated.

Still, he heeded Charlotte’s words, his expression instantly becoming serious,

"Then... Lord Charlotte, your wish is my command."

He shouted out loud, and with his right hand clenched into a fist, he charged at Charlotte.

His skin gradually became as hard as rock, and the terrifying force of the punch caused the air to whistle, eliciting gasps from the crowd...

The spectators could clearly see that with Rand’s step forward, the ground visibly sank, and only then slowly restored itself under Nisi’s Magic spell.

"Lord Charlotte, my punch now has two thousand pounds of force! Please be careful!"

Rand bellowed as he charged over.

Charlotte’s expression also turned serious.

Having entered the Starry Rank, theoretically, her strength should have also broken human limits, at least reaching eighteen hundred pounds.

But facing a Transcendent Knight who had awakened the Rock Bloodline, she had to be a bit more cautious.

She took a deep breath and began to mobilize the Bloodline power within her.

Charlotte was of the Bloodline.

As a price for becoming Bloodline, she had no Source Power Heart or Magic Pool.

But after advancing to the Starry Rank, she felt her heart becoming the source of her strength.

The strength of the Bloodline originated from the Bloodline, and the core of the Bloodline... was the heart.

As Charlotte willed it, she could feel her heart beating strongly, with the Magic power contained in her blood converging towards her arms.

She raised her arms, adopting a defensive stance.

Rand arrived in an instant, his fist striking Charlotte’s defending elbow.

A dull boom sounded, the ground trembled, and even the Magic Shield rippled, startling Nisi.

Meanwhile, the two in the sparring ring were both stunned.

In Rand’s perception, his punch felt as if it had hit a boulder. Not only had he failed to break through her defense, but the recoil also made his palms tingle.

Charlotte’s brow furrowed almost instantly because she felt as if the punch was somewhat... weak and limp?

"Did you really put all your strength into it?"

She couldn’t help but ask.

Rand was also perplexed.

Eh?

Had he really not exerted full strength just now?

"Again!"

Rand took a deep breath and clenched his fist again.

"Ha!"

He roared angrily and charged at Charlotte once more.

This time, Rand’s Source Power erupted completely, using all of his strength!

With one step, the ground beneath him cracked, and even Nisi’s Magic took several seconds to repair it.

His punch was even more fierce as he charged at Charlotte like a cannonball.

Feeling the power that didn’t seem much stronger than before, this time, Charlotte only extended one hand...

Once they collided again, Charlotte remained unmoved, while Rand could feel the reaction force on his fist was stronger, numbing his entire arm.

This time, he finally confirmed a terrifying fact: even using his full strength, he was completely unable to make the young girl move half a step!

This time she had even only extended one hand!

Unbelievable!

How strong is she?

Rand’s heart shook with amazement as he looked toward Charlotte, filled with shock and doubt, even beginning to question his own strength.

The servants and young boys and girls who were watching couldn’t bear to see it anymore.

Protected by a magic shield, they couldn’t truly feel the terrifying power of the spar, only that the boy’s attacks were easily blocked by Charlotte.

"Rand, can you even handle it?"

"Yeah, even if it’s Lord Charlotte, aren’t you going too easy on her?"

Several apprentice knights were clearly dissatisfied.

Rand’s face turned red with frustration.

Heaven knows, he really wasn’t holding back!

It was just that Lord Charlotte was too strong...

Rand’s expression was somewhat bewildered.

Why... after his promotion, did the gap between him and Lord Charlotte seem even wider?

"Is it over? Then... let me test my strength."

Charlotte said.

Hearing the girl’s words, Rand’s expression immediately became serious.

He hurriedly took a defensive stance, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Seeing him like this, the watching boys and girls laughed:

"Rand, don’t overdo the acting!"

"Yeah, come on!"

"No, he’s not acting, he’s genuinely defending with all his might."

Nisi, nibbling on a fish snack, remarked as he watched the boy with a battle-ready posture.

Really defending with all his might?

The crowd was taken aback.

They didn’t doubt Nisi’s words, though he was just a cat, he was one capable of casting magic and divine arts.

They couldn’t help but look at the girl on the stage, feeling that her frail figure suddenly seemed shrouded in mystery.

Charlotte continued to gather the magic power within her body.

She could clearly sense the magic coursing through her veins, swirling and amplifying her strength.

Taking a deep breath, she clenched her fist tightly.

Initially, she had planned to exert her full strength, but recalling the strength of her opponent, she hesitated for a moment, then released half of it, and after some careful thought, she released a bit more, only using one-third of her full power.

Then, with a light shout, she charged toward Rand.

The ground beneath her feet shattered instantly, and even the protective magic shield trembled slightly, eliciting a surprised "damn" from Nisi.

Her petite fist arrived in a flash, striking Rand’s arms, causing the boy’s expression to drastically change.

With a loud thud, the newly advanced Starry Rank Transcendent Knight was sent flying with a punch, soaring over ten meters and crashing into a wall...

Sliding down slowly from the wall, Rand struggled for a long time but couldn’t get up.

In that instant, the entire training room fell silent.

Charlotte also looked blankly at her own fist.

Goodness...

Is my strength really that of an early Starry First Tier?

But, the Rock Bloodline truly lives up to its name.

Even after being sent flying over ten meters, lying there for more than ten seconds, Rand still struggled to sit up.

Coughing, his arms trembling, it was clear he hadn’t recovered, his gaze full of fear as he looked at the girl:

"Cough, cough, cough, no... no more, no more fighting..."

"Your... your strength is too... strong."

Serving as the referee, Casimodo was stunned, taking a long time to recover before announcing:

"Lord Charlotte wins!"

As he spoke, Nisi dispelled the magic shield, and the crowd erupted into a commotion, swarming over.

"Lord Charlotte... Did you really just get promoted to Starry?"

"Rand, were you really not holding back?"

"It’s an outright defeat... this is a complete takedown..."

"Lord Charlotte is so powerful!"

"Rand, you’ve embarrassed yourself..."

The youngsters chattered amongst themselves, while Charlotte looked at her fist thoughtfully.

However, she quickly put aside her inner surprise and said to Casimodo:

"Casimodo, get ready, I want to test my own strength alone."

Noticing the look in Charlotte’s eyes, Casimodo immediately understood and hurriedly said:

"Everyone head back to training, the Master is performing a personal test, do not disturb."

Although curious about Charlotte’s true strength, the boys and girls knew they had to follow orders and reluctantly left the annex.

Charlotte entered alone, closing the door behind her, and approached the magical sandbag.

Taking a deep breath, she rallied her full strength and threw a punch at it.

A dull, thunderous noise resonated; the sandbag trembled violently, nearly deforming, while the connected magic stone suddenly emitted a dazzling red light, showing a series of numbers.

Charlotte looked over, her gaze focusing.

The number was eight thousand and eight hundred pounds, four times that of Rand.

Converted to kilograms, her punch packed nearly four tons of force!

Outrageous!

Is this the strength expected of a Baron-level Bloodline?

Isn’t strength supposed to be the Bloodline’s weakness?

There’s a problem!

There must be a problem!
