All the heavens began with Huo Yi

"Sul, I didn't expect you to be a challenger, and I didn't expect you to be able to fight in close combat either." Godwin greeted Sul with a smile when he saw that the person who came was Sul, but he quickly picked up his axe again, took a deep breath, and said, "Ready? Come on."

He rushed forward quickly, swinging his axe at Sue, who raised his staff to block and deflect the double-edged axe.

However, although Godwin was surprised that Suer was so strong despite his small size, he quickly freed one hand and deflected Suer's swinging stick.

A golden light emanated from his arm, and Suer's stick was deflected. However, the stick was easy to hit from both ends. Suer used the force of Godwin's deflection to twist the stick in his hand and deliver a straight thrust.

Fortunately, it was just a test. Although the poke caught Godwin off guard, he only took a few steps back and had a red mark on his abdomen.

"What beautiful moves!" Godwin didn't hold back his praise; he had indeed been amazed by Suer's staff skills.

To actually use someone else's strength to launch a counterattack—this method is truly unique in a head-on confrontation!

"You flatter me. My staff technique was not learned from outside the border area, and it is somewhat different from the routines there. It is normal for the prince to be unaccustomed to it for a while."

“No need to be modest, let’s go again.” Godwin’s eyes gleamed with golden light, and his axe was instantly imbued with holy attributes. With a swing of his golden double-edged axe, a golden blade of energy slashed toward Suer.

However, the air blade was deflected the moment it made contact with Sull, striking the stone wall of the arena and creating a huge opening.

"Let's see who's the best now. Ranged attacks have no effect on me."

After speaking, Suer instantly appeared beside Godwin and swung his staff down. However, Godwin reacted quickly, instantly transforming into a golden light and disappearing from his spot. He then reappeared in mid-air, firing several golden light spears at Suer.

Without a doubt, all the light guns were deflected to the ground.

"It seems that ranged attacks really have no effect on you," Godwin muttered to himself.

It seems that Godwin is a pragmatist and will not be easily influenced by his opponent's words.

Godwin landed and dragged his giant axe at Sull. The gold flashing on the axe was no longer the light of gold, but crackling lightning.

As the axe swung towards Suer, a light source appeared behind him, from which sharp blades rained down from the sky, testing whether Suer could move while taking ranged damage.

However, Godwin's axe struck empty air, and he felt a kick in the back. He staggered forward a few steps, used the axe to steady himself, and looked back to see Suer already standing in mid-air with his staff, golden staff shadows wrapped in flames and yellow winds coming towards him.

Just as Godwin was about to attack, Sue pointed at him and froze him in place, leaving him no choice but to obediently endure several blows from the stick.

When the immobilization period ended, Godwin was suddenly covered in cuts and lacerations, but fortunately, Godwin was skilled in prayer, and a pale yellow light rose up, and his wounds gradually began to heal.

Seeing Godwin cheating, Su Er swayed and moved behind Godwin, the stick he was holding bringing down on his head with a gust of wind.

Godwin was very alert. He raised his axe above his head and used the handle to block the blow. In the blink of an eye, he turned sideways and used the handle to deflect Suer's club. He then turned around and swung his axe at Suer. With a deafening clang, neither Godwin nor Suer managed to truly defeat the other.

“Fighting like this is pointless. Let’s just compare our moves and strength! No need for healing or prayers, no need for teleportation, how about that?” Godwin said, tearing off his tattered clothes and throwing them on the ground.

Suer stepped back a few paces and nodded. "Okay, I have no objection."

Seeing that Suer agreed, Godwin gave a knowing smile, then stomped his foot, making the earth tremble, and then swung his axe at Suer three times.

Sur remained calm, transforming himself into a six-armed being. The Wind and Fire Cudgel in his hand multiplied into three: one deflected Godwin's axe blade, another twisted towards Godwin's chest, and the third was firmly held by Godwin, resulting in a stalemate.

Godwin only had two hands, so he could only let Suer whip him with one of his clubs. But he wasn't an indestructible turtle. He stomped his foot on the ground, and suddenly a crack appeared in the earth. Blazing red energy surged out from underground, and a stream of magma carrying debris rushed towards Suer.

This was the old man Ge Fulei's signature move, the Promax stomp, which Godwin executed with no less skill than his father.

Seeing this, Sue pushed the stick that Godwin was holding, and the stick instantly grew longer, hitting Godwin's elbow and pushing Godwin away.

A golden light flashed across his body, turning him entirely golden. For a moment, the rubble and lava on the ground were no match for him.

By this time, Suer had also gotten used to the disharmony of having six arms, and the stick in his hands began to become more agile.

With each swing, it was like a giant dragon stirring up the sea. One strike targeted the lower body, preventing Godwin from stomping his feet and also restricting his steps and disrupting his rhythm. Another strike aimed straight at Godwin's face, leaving him unable to defend himself. The third strike repeatedly struck Godwin's hands, making it difficult for him to swing his axe.

With skillful maneuvering and strategic advances, Suer stirred up a storm. In his quick turns and maneuvers, Godwin was unable to attack or retreat, and could only be led by the nose by Suer. His martial arts skills were completely overwhelmed, making him feel that the giant axe in his hand had lost its purpose.

Previously, Godwin had always firmly believed in his father's words, taking "overcoming skill with brute force" as his guiding principle. In addition, his wide-ranging and powerful attack methods made him invincible, and even the ancient dragon Guran fell to him.

But today he encountered Suer. The audience in the stands might not know, they just thought Suer's stick skills were impressive, and then the eldest prince was inexplicably beaten without any chance to fight back.

However, Godwin could clearly feel that every time he tried to block or attack with his axe, or to exert force with his legs, his movements would be interrupted by Sue's perfectly timed blow, rendering him powerless.

Such superb martial arts skills made Godwin feel as if his mind was being read. This feeling of being seen through was not pleasant, especially since he had personally felt that Suer's strength was no less than his own during their previous struggle.

At this moment, Godwin knew clearly that unless he abandoned his axe and fought with his bare hands, there was absolutely no chance of breaking the deadlock.

However, discarding weapons like a savage and fighting bare-handed would be too disgraceful for the royal family. Even if he were to win by chance, he would probably be scolded by his mother. Helpless, Godwin could only shout "surrender" and end the duel.
