Chapter Summary
Although he couldn't see Ma Wang's full endurance, Liu Ning maintained the same level of strength as Ma Wang and wanted to see how long Ma Wang could last. Even if Horse King wants to give up this match, he will never go into berserk mode because he knows his body well and can't sustain berserk mode three times. For Ma Wang, he really didn't want to change his plan, because both times he had to use his berserk state, so he hoped to win against Liu Ning in that state.
Liu Ning also wanted to see Ma Wang's endurance. Although he couldn't see Ma Wang's full endurance, Liu Ning maintained the same level of strength as Ma Wang and wanted to see how long Ma Wang could last.
Ma Wang realized that Liu Ning was much stronger than him, but Liu Ning hadn't finished the fight, which meant that the other party was toying with him and playing games with him.
Horse King never insults his opponents, but when he encounters one, he feels deeply hurt. So he launches another attack, this time with all his might. After fighting for 20 rounds, Horse King is still able to unleash such fighting power, which Liu Ning truly admires. Even Liu Ning's fighting power has decreased by 5%, but Horse King's has not decreased at all.
Besides sensing this, another thing that puzzled Ma Wang was that if the other party wanted to insult him, they should have used a lot of offensive language. But the other party hadn't said a word to him, and judging from their expression, they didn't seem to be trying to insult him. What was going on?
“I’m telling you, my friend, you are much stronger than me, so why don’t you just win? Are you trying to waste my energy here? You should know that my patience is famous throughout the city. If you try to drag this out, I’m afraid you can’t outlast me.”
Horse King finally couldn't hold back any longer. He wanted to know what Liu Ning was up to. 45 minutes had passed, and the two sides were exchanging blows. This was a contest of their highest combat strength. Although Horse King had great endurance, if this continued, it would cause great damage to his body.
"Of course I have my own thoughts. As far as I know, this is not your true strength. You have another state. You did not respect me at the beginning and did not bring out your strongest state. So do you think I am insulting you now?"
What Liu Ning said was absolutely correct. Ma Wang was able to have a ranking in this city, which meant he definitely had his own strength. The strength he had just shown was not weak, but it was absolutely impossible for him to be ranked among the top five. Even if Zhao Lele were to fight Ma Wang with his current strength, Zhao Lele would have a chance to win, let alone Liu Ning. Therefore, Liu Ning believed that this guy was hiding his strength.
After listening to Liu Ning's words, Ma Wang frowned. Ma Wang did indeed possess even greater strength, but he would never use it unless it was a matter of life and death. Every time he used it, it would be an ordeal for his body. If he could endure it, Ma Wang would of course use it, but if he couldn't, he would have to say goodbye to this world. Right now, Ma Wang's body couldn't hold on any longer. If things continued like this, it wouldn't end well for Ma Wang.
Another fighting state of the Horse King is the berserk state. It may be hard for many people to believe, but the Horse King does have such a state. As long as the Horse King enters the berserk state, no matter how others attack, the Horse King will not feel pain. However, the berserk state lasts for a relatively short time. If the Horse King can defeat the opponent, he will naturally win. But if he cannot defeat the opponent, the backlash from the berserk state is also very powerful.
Previously, King Ma had his own plan. In this selection competition, King Ma had two opportunities to activate his berserk state. The first opportunity was in the finals in this city, where he would encounter many experts, so he would activate it once. The second opportunity was in the ancient ruins. Once he discovered a treasure, he should not be stingy with it.
But this is definitely not in the plan right now. This is just an elimination round. If he goes into berserk mode here, who knows how many times he'll have to go into berserk mode later? Even if Horse King wants to give up this match, he will never go into berserk mode because he knows his body well and can't sustain berserk mode three times.
At this moment, Horse King was unwilling to accept defeat, so he charged at Liu Ning again. However, Liu Ning could sense that Horse King had not yet entered that state. His strength was about the same as before, except that his roar gave him some confidence. But this confidence was not very useful on the battlefield; it was just a futile way to dissipate one's own physical strength.
Liu Ning had already tried fighting in this state before and had no interest in it, so he kicked Ma Wang in the stomach. If he didn't put pressure on Ma Wang, the guy wouldn't activate his berserk state.
Liu Ning was also very curious about this state. Maria's investigation report said that it could increase combat power by 1 to 2 times, depending on your own physical endurance. If your endurance is good enough, it can even increase combat power by 3 times, provided that you can withstand the backfeeding. If you can't, you might be ruined for the rest of your life after the battle.
"This is your last chance. You understand that there is a huge gap in strength between us. I know you made a good plan, but given your age, this should be your last chance to enter the ancient ruins. If you lose today, you will be eliminated immediately. No matter how high you cultivate in the future, you probably won't have a good outcome. The Ma family valued you before because they hoped you could do well in the selection competition. Now that you've failed, do you think the Ma family will still give you more resources?"
To be honest, Liu Ning's words were like daggers to the heart. For Ma Wang, he really didn't want to change his plan, because both times he had to use his berserk state, so he hoped to win against Liu Ning in that state. But that kick just now had proven that this guy could never beat Liu Ning. The difference in strength between this guy and Liu Ning was too great. Everything Liu Ning said was true. Now Ma Wang was having a mental struggle.
If he uses Berserk mode now, he'll definitely miss one of the two designated nodes, and might not even get a chance to enter the ancient ruins, or he might return empty-handed. But if he doesn't use it now, all his future plans will be ruined, and as Liu Ning said, he'll be abandoned by the Ma family...
