Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 834: Chapter 96: Su Li’s Powerful Strength (Part 3)

In the arena, Su Li calmly sidestepped, as if time had stagnated. Titus’ charging figure suddenly paused, seemingly willingly bending and kneeling, delivering his body to the front of Su Li’s swinging Warhammer.

[Blazing Blood·Royal Authority]!

When Su Li activates his bloodline power with full force, he gains a dragon-like aura of royal authority, forming a powerful intimidation aura around him. Enemies weaker than him are compelled to kneel on one knee and bow before him. They can only stand up once he dismisses the Blazing Blood ability.

Under this overwhelming bloodline ability, Titus couldn’t even react before being struck down. His body crashed onto the solid stone slab with a thunderous roar, violently spewing a mouthful of blood.

There’s no doubt that Su Li withheld his strength. Without the rules’ restrictions, he could have smashed Titus’ helmet, causing him dizziness or even a loss of consciousness.

This stark contrast sparked the spectators’ fervor instantly. Countless fans waved their betting tickets in the air, cheering for the battle wisdom behind the clever strike.

The citizens of the Empire, who valued martial prowess, loved this kind of breathtaking battle artistry, smoothly knocking out the opponent.

And when Su Li stepped his armored right foot onto Titus’ back, the cheers reached a climax, drawing the eyes of many spectators to the duel ground.

Even the referee was affected by Su Li’s bloodline power and kneeled beside the two, starting the countdown.

"10!"

"9!"

"8!"

Titus was clearly unwilling to concede defeat. Though the Warhammer’s strike was heavy, it wasn’t lethal to a tough-skinned, elite level Extraordinary Knight.

He roared, struggling to stand again; but with Su Li maintaining his Blazing Blood eruption, no matter how the veins popped on Titus’ arms and forehead, no matter how he struggled with the support of his arms, or even as his bones creaked, the massive foot on his back felt like a Giant Dragon’s claw, preventing any attempt to overturn it.

His trident was pinned beneath him, and his struggles looked like a beaten dog’s disgraceful flailing.

He couldn’t stand up until the countdown ended, so the referee decisively declared his defeat in the round!

As Su Li withdrew his foot, Titus jumped up immediately, clutching his deep blue trident and glaring at Su Li, eyes blood-red.

Remembering his embarrassed appearance just now made him almost lose his sanity. He roared, "I’m going to kill you, you bastard!"

Su Li smiled faintly and said, "You still haven’t learned to stay calm. Talking big like that serves no purpose except showing your impotent fury."

The referee stepped forward, using both hands to separate the two, feeling quite displeased with Su Li mainly because his bloodline ability had affected him as well, making it less than honorable.

Then he asked Titus, "Will you pay the ransom to continue the fight?"

Titus raised his fist and harshly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, eyes still blood-red, glaring at Su Li. He snorted coldly, "Kid, the fight is long from over. I admit I was careless in the first round, but don’t be too proud! There are many bloodline abilities with stronger stun effects than yours. It was just a surprise attack. I’ve only consumed 10 seconds of stamina, while you’ve used your Blazing Blood ability for 10 seconds; let’s see what happens next! Here’s 25 Golden Crowns, our victory hasn’t been decided yet!"

Su Li smiled faintly, took out a small jug he carried, drank a cup of restorative wine, and said with a grin, "Then you better hold on; my potions will definitely support me till your stamina depletes."

Seeing the golden jug in Su Li’s hand made Titus’ eye twitch violently. Since he’d been in the Hesse Territory for so long, he certainly recognized this unique high-level recovery method. Damned Fiery Sun Church Knight, such shameful and disgusting luxury! This meant Su Li had restored his condition to peak form again. Jealousy distorted Titus’ face.

"Round two, begin!"

After paying the ransom, with the referee’s command, Titus had gotten smarter this time. He held the trident with both hands cautiously watching Su Li, clearly adopting a stance that could attack or defend.

At this point, even if Su Li used the Blazing Blood ability, it wouldn’t be effective against him. He could counter by parrying thrusts, a skill many knights had to learn.

As Titus had said, knights’ Blazing Blood abilities varied widely, and many are caught off guard in their first round. However, even among those with powerful stun abilities, strong elite knights can withstand three seconds of dizziness and endure the opponent’s attack.

For knights wearing powerful armor, killing them in just a few seconds is no easy task, even if swinging a Warhammer at their heads might not necessarily kill them. After all, these knights, clad in perfect level Vibranium Rune Armor, can withstand cannon shell impacts without dying and continue fighting.

It’s not just Extraordinary Knights. Watching battles between English and French Knights, even the two-handed sword struggles to penetrate defenses. In the Battle of Agincourt, French cavalrymen charged on a narrow, muddy battlefield post-rain, often being unhorsed and unable to fight back in the pits. Even under such circumstances, the British army couldn’t quickly kill the French knights.

Moreover, in this arena match, attacking the opponent’s head or neck is prohibited. Thus, winning a match with just one or two Blazing Blood abilities is nearly impossible.
