System vs Rebirth

"Start!"

The moment they heard Shale's signal, Noel and Azgar leaped forward.

To gain as much experience as he could, Noel wanted to fight Azgar without his Spiritual Energy first to measure how far he could go with only his Ardagan Swordsmanship.

Noel swung his sword from the left while Azgar slammed his sword toward Noel's head, wanting to crush it.

However, Noel skillfully struck Azgar's sword and slightly pushed the sword so that it moved away from its trajectory. At the same time, Noel had a few small steps to push his body to the other side, allowing him to avoid this powerful strike.

Once Azgar hit the ground, a small shock wave kicked up the dust. It was clear that Noel would have bled if he was hit.

Noel glanced at the power behind that swing while taking a few steps back, regaining some distance from Azgar.

His expression remained calm as he had expected this kind of battle. At the same time, he checked his hands' conditions. Luckily, he didn't feel anything because he didn't try to block the hit earlier.

Azgar didn't want to let him go because this was his chance to defeat Noel. Before the latter used his Spiritual Energy, he needed to win.

Hence, Azgar hurriedly chased after Noel and made a diagonal swing from above.

This time, Noel tried something different. Instead of dodging the attack, Noel parried this attack with his sword. But the result was expected. Azgar's strength overwhelmed Noel's and immediately pushed his sword back.

His sword continued making its way toward Noel's neck. Unbeknownst to him, Noel used the force that he used to his own advantage.
