Dragon Covenant

Chapter 32

When Albert arrived at the academy, Simon came up to him and said, "Albert, you're finally here. One of your two matches today won't be easy. It's Adam from Class One. Do you remember him?"

"Adam," Albert nodded. This person was quite famous in Class One. He possessed a 6-star wind element soul and was extremely fast. His strength ranked around the top ten or so.

Simon said with a solemn look on his face, "That guy has already reached the 7th-stage realm. He's much stronger than Henry."

"The 7th stage, huh? He's indeed more difficult to deal with than yesterday's opponent. It's okay. I can handle it."

While they were talking, a student ran over and said, "Albert, someone is looking for you outside."

Albert was a bit puzzled, but he still walked out. Then he saw a young man standing by the wall, with long hair hanging down his shoulders, looking carefree and unrestrained.

Albert recognized this person at a glance. It was none other than Adam, his opponent for today.

Adam fiddled with his bangs and said, "Albert, I didn't expect that after such a long time, you're rising again."

Albert said, "Don't say such stupid things."

Adam said discontentedly, "Where's it stupid?"

"Today, David came to me and offered me a pretty good price, asking me to try my best to injure you today."

Albert immediately said, "Are you here to tip me off? Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"

Adam said with disdain, "Bah! Although I'm carefree, I still have my principles. You taught me the soul cultivation method back then, so I owe you a favor."

"I'm here to remind you. First, if we start fighting in the afternoon and you're no match for me, jump off the stage quickly. Second, if I can't beat you, you cooperate with me and seriously injure me. That way, I can still get some benefits from David. That guy offered a high price."

"The second option is a backup plan, but it probably won't be needed."

Even though Albert usually had quite good composure, he was still stunned by Adam's strange move and said helplessly, "You're really something."

Albert was a bit helpless. He hadn't seen this guy for a long time, and he was still such an oddball. So he started to shoo him away.

Adam snorted coldly, tossed his long hair, and left ly.

Albert still waved his hand to say goodbye and said, "Although the information isn't that valuable, thank you anyway."

Adam's voice came from the distance, "Young man, take care of yourself."

The match in the morning went too smoothly, and soon it was afternoon. As expected, Albert faced Adam.

The audience in the stands said, "I'm afraid Albert will lose this match. I heard that Adam has already reached the 7th-stage realm."

"Yes. This is the first formidable opponent Albert has encountered."

On the stage, Adam said, "Albert, it's your misfortune to meet me today."

Albert didn't reply to him, because answering would make him seem stupid.

So, Albert slowly unleashed his water element soul power, which slowly flowed around him, and the air was filled with a moist atmosphere.

Following the referee's order, the cyan soul power around Adam, who had been showing off before, suddenly burst out. In that instant, it seemed that there was a whistling wind. Adam's figure directly turned into a shadow and rushed towards Albert like lightning. His speed was so fast that he covered a distance of dozens of meters in an instant and appeared in front of Albert.

Obviously, once they started fighting, Adam didn't hold back at all.

Albert's eyes narrowed, and his hands quickly moved. The water element soul power instantly condensed into a water curtain in front of him. Adam's attack hit the water curtain hard, making a loud noise. The water curtain shook violently but didn't break. Seeing that his first strike missed, Adam immediately pulled back and turned into a shadow again, quickly moving around the arena to look for Albert's weaknesses.

Suddenly, Adam stopped in his tracks. He put his hands together, and the wind element soul power condensed into a huge wind blade in his palms. With a fierce wave of his hand, the wind blade howled as it flew towards Albert. Wherever the wind blade passed, the earth was torn apart, making a shrill sound.

Seeing this, Albert moved his hands again. The water element soul power condensed into a huge water ball and blocked the wind blade. The wind blade collided with the water ball, making a loud noise. The water ball was cut open by the wind blade, but the power of the wind blade was also greatly weakened. He raised his hands, and the water element soul power condensed into a huge vortex in his palms. The vortex contained powerful force and directly swallowed the wind blade.

Adam saw Albert's hopeless attack and a solemn look appeared in his eyes. He knew that the power of this vortex should not be underestimated.

Albert waved his hand, and the vortex flew towards Adam. Wherever the vortex passed, the ground was lifted up with a layer of dirt.

"Wow!"

A strange cry rang out. Adam's figure seemed to form a series of afterimages as he dodged the vortex.

Immediately after that, Adam put two fingers together and stabbed out suddenly. The cyan light condensed on his fingertips, as if turning into a cyan glow that flickered on and off.

"Wind Finger!"

Sensing the strength and speed contained in the opponent's fingertips, Albert knew that it was impossible to avoid it.

Albert slapped out with one palm. Blue soul power surged on his palm. And at the moment when they were about to touch, he suddenly opened his five fingers, flicked his fingertips, and stirred the water element power, as if forming layers of water vortices.

The sharp cyan light contained in Adam's fingertips was quickly eroded and stripped away under the layers of water vortices.

When the Wind Finger passed through the layers of water vortices and finally collided with Albert's palm force, some of its power had been ingeniously neutralized.

Bang!

Fist and finger collided hard, and the soul power crashed against each other. Waves of energy rolled out, and both Albert and Adam's figures shook. They both slid back.
