Chapter 79

Keaton stepped onto the martial platform, carrying his pair of massive hammers

The other fighter was Seamus, a fierce general under Melvins. Towering at nine feet tall, he had a clear height advantage. His large sword slashed through the air with powerful Perce. Though he looked a bit bulky, his heavy footwork revealed that he was a seasoned expert in martial arts.

“Ms. Yates, do you think Prince Melvin’s man will win, or will that warrior Keaton come out on top/ Monica couldn’t help but ask

Off to the side, Garbisch let out a hearty laugh. “Keston practices more than multiple martial art styles, while Seamus focuses on his established cultivation. It’s hard to say who’ll win.”

Jessica glanced at him and smiled, “Gabisch, you look like you’re in a pretty good mood.”

“Where did that come from? I’m just chatting casually,” Gabisch said, but the smile in his eyes was impossible to miss.

Even Monica was infected by his cheerful mood. Her eyes it up with amusement,

Garbisch was in high spirits after receiving the Voidsteel Spear from Leon. His confident air made him look especially good

“Mr. Yates, would you like some juice?” Monica offered him a refill.

But Nolan remained visibly nervous. “Mr. Yates, it’s almost our turn. You you shouldn’t drink too much.”

“What’s there to panic about?” Monica gave him a sidelong glance and chuckled. “Don’t you see how calm Ms. Yates is? If she’s not nervous, that means Mr. Yates is guaranteed to win.”

Nolan glanced at Jessica. She did seem calm and composed, with a faint smile in her eyes, as if she was sure her brother would win.

But Nolan didn’t know why she was so confident

Given the state of Garbisch’s body, Nolan was still worried.

Jessica said with a gentle smile, “No need to worry. Garbisch will win.”

“What about this round?” Monica asked.

Jessica studied the two fighters on the platform carefully,

The pleasantries were over, and the fight had begun. The broadsword and hammers clashed, sending sparks flying

The crowd below was tense, especially the young ladies. Every now and then, gasps or even shrieks could be heard

After watching for a while, Jessica said softly, “Mr. Kirk originally trained in his established martial art style. From the looks of it, he’s been practicing other styles lately

Garbisch was taken aback. “How can you tell?”

He had heard of Seamus before. Though he wielded a broadsword, he had always focused on enhancing his established style.

Someone who had trained in their established style for over ten years wouldn’t easily switch systems. If it went well, the combination could be powerful. But if not, it would weaken both skills. The new one didn’t develop well, and the old one deteriorated.

Jessica explained, “He likely hit a ceiling with his own technique and is trying to find a breakthrough through other techniques.

Still focused on the platform, Jessica gently shook her head. “But he’s doing it the wrong way. Instead of improving tw’s worn down his original strengths. If he hadn’t practiced another partial skill, he could’ve held out for thirty rounds. Now, he won’t last more than ten moves.”
