Chapter 283: Each Has Their Strengths!
While Aniye and the others were negotiating with the big shots, Rocky was still fiercely fighting in the arena.
At this point, he and Xia Nai had moved from the main stage to mid-air, and after reaching mid-air, the battle became even more intense.
Both were wearing top-tier Armor, each supported by tens of thousands of magic energy points, so when they reached mid-air, the main battlefield for the Void Magic Armor, they began to use deadly moves without any hesitation. The battle not only became fierce but each attack was lethal, such that a single misstep by either could seal the outcome of the entire match.
Suspended in mid-air, Rocky rushed toward Xia Nai at maximum speed. During the sprint, the Mana Launchers on his shoulders continuously fired a series of Magic Bullets which exploded midway because Xia Nai was persistently attacking from a distance to prevent him from getting close. Their attacks met in mid-air and exploded into a wall of fire.
But just after the wall of fire appeared, Rocky suddenly burst through it and reached Xia Nai in an instant, followed by a series of fierce attacks!
Facing Rocky's aggressive assault, Xia Nai reacted swiftly. Apart from initially being somewhat passive, he quickly regained his disadvantage, but this was precisely when Rocky began to accelerate, taking advantage of the agility of his armor to start circling around Xia Nai.
The White Demon Armor originally boasted comprehensive strength, supported by a large amount of mana which balanced its overall capabilities. This was in the past.
After Rocky had used the White Demon Armor in several matches, Hammerfire and others identified a new direction for the next enhancement of the armor, which was mobility.
The White Demon Armor's magic energy value could reach up to ten thousand points, but how to utilize such a vast amount of energy effectively was always a problem for Hammerfire and his team to solve.
Because the technology equipped the White Demon Armor was ultimately that of the fourth-generation armor technology. Despite improvements, the limitation of the fourth-generation technology persisted. Without working on this aspect, the White Demon Armor would end up being a defective product, powerful in mana but unable to utilize its full potential, which was not what Hammerfire and his team wanted to see.
Therefore, Hammerfire and his team significantly strengthened the mobility of the White Demon Armor. After all, the mobility of an armor always consumes a lot of mana but, likewise, powerful support from mana can result in significantly noticeable effects.
So, after the enhancements, the mobility of the White Demon Armor had significantly increased compared to before, making it incomparable to its previous state. Hence, when Rocky accelerated to full speed and started attacking Xia Nai using the mobility of the White Demon Armor, Xia Nai immediately felt the pressure.
He found that he could hardly keep up with Rocky's speed!
In his eyes, Rocky appeared in various directions around him at an unimaginably fast speed. He could only barely catch Rocky's position and defend himself; countering was utterly impossible, for after every blocked attack, Rocky would immediately move away and appear in another position, continuously guerrilla fighting.
In this situation, Xia Nai soon realized that he was in trouble because once he had the speed advantage, Rocky would eventually find his weakness, and once that weakness appeared, the match would be over!
So, after several continuous defenses, Xia Nai had no choice but to increase his altitude, hoping to break away from the engagement.
But how could Rocky let him get his way? As Xia Nai increased altitude, Rocky relentlessly pursued him.
This led to an astonishing scene; the two chased each other in mid-air, clashing after each short flight, repeatedly maneuvering swiftly.
To the average eye, the two were intensely grappling, unable to shake each other off, but to those in the know, this indicated that Xia Nai was at a disadvantage because clearly he wanted to shake off Rocky but was caught up each time, resulting in this scene.

Moreover, many experts felt that if Xia Nai kept being chased like this, he could be in trouble since in a clash of this caliber, a single mistake could decide the outcome. Under continuous passive defense, it was hard for Xia Nai to ensure a flawless performance.
"Enough!"
Just as Rocky was relentlessly advancing, and Peter Shane was starting to panic, Xia Nai suddenly roared and activated the Defensive Net!
Simultaneously, as the Defensive Net opened, Rocky slashed with his sword but not only failed to break through the net, he was also repelled a great distance backward.
The White Demon Armor has a magic energy value of 10,000, while the Windwalker Armor has 13,000. Both values indicate top-tier armors, yet there is still a noticeable difference between the two—a slight, albeit significant gap.
However, from the current performance, Rocky, with less magic energy, unexpectedly took the initiative in the combat, while Xia Nai, possessing more magic energy, ended up in a passive position being hit, which was clearly abnormal.
In reality, this was not the case, as there was indeed a difference between the two armors; it just hadn't manifested yet.
Following further enhancements, the White Demon Armor's key feature was its mobility, whereas the prominent feature of the Windwalker Armor wasn't mobility but its attack and defensive power!
Now, when Xia Nai activated the Windwalker's Defensive Net, his 3,000 point advantage in magic energy became apparent!
Against the falling Mana Sword, the Defensive Net not only easily resisted it but also repelled Rocky directly. And when Rocky, using the momentum of the repulsion, retreated while firing a series of three Magic Bullets, all of them that hit the Defensive Net were easily blocked without even causing a ripple.
After this, Xia Nai's counterattack began!
He charged straight at Rocky immediately after deploying the Defensive Net. Facing Rocky's series of blockades, he didn't dodge at all, not needing to, as no matter how the Magic Bullets and Magic Energy Beam attacked, the Defensive Net remained impenetrable!
Then, in the blink of an eye, he charged right in front of Rocky, too quick to launch an attack and instead slammed directly into him using his momentum!
The Windwalker's Defensive Net, featuring unique technology, could be used defensively and, if used correctly, as a weapon, just like now.
A dull thud was heard as the Defensive Net forcefully slammed Rocky towards the arena!
"Oh!!"
At the moment Rocky fell to the arena, the audience, which had been silent for a while, managed to let out a gasp of surprise; it was the first time they saw such a clear flaw exposed in the duel between the two.
"Oh!!!"
But that gasp had hardly faded when the audience let out an even more exaggerated cry of astonishment. In their eyes, Xia Nai, who had sent Rocky flying, didn't pursue him but instead raised his arms, revealing the Magic Energy Cannons on each, while the armor on his chest and shoulders also opened, showing the built-in cannon ports. More critically, a shoulder-mounted Magic Energy Launcher extended from his back!
In an instant, Xia Nai had activated all of Windwalker's weapons and aimed them at Rocky!
