[Dao Rhythm!]
[Dragon Arts: Draconic Dive!]
Link stomped the ground and jumped into the air. He used Dao Rhythm to walk on the air and then dove down towards Vanya at an insanely high speed.
[Blessing of the World Tree: Maximum Elemental Enhancement!]
[Vanya Style: Wind Type: Reversal Winds!]
Condensed wind elements gathered around Vanya's hands as she punched towards Link, who dived down towards her from the sky.
Although one of her hands was already broken, she wasn't going to admit defeat so fast.
The wind elements in Vanya's hand spread around instead of confronting Link head-on, pushing him back.
Link's attack lost power significantly due to that counterwind.
But Vanya didn't stop there.
[Vanya Style: Fire Type: Wild Fire!]
Fire elements condensed around Vanya's hand, and she spread them along with the winds that she had created earlier.
The strong wind caused the fire to spread fast, and it fell directly on Link, who had landed on the ground a few meters away.
But Link was simply unfazed by all that.
He didn't even bother dodging that wind and fire combo and walked straight towards Vanya with firm and steadfast steps.
Vanya threw massive fire blasts at him, but Link was still unfazed by it all.
Not only is his own defensive power extremely strong, he also has Dao Rhythm now, which makes it really difficult to harm him.
His physique has no weaknesses; temperature fluctuations can do nothing to him at this point.
Even his eyeballs are as strong as his muscles.
This implies that Link has no weak points in his body; he is a walking tank! Unless you are at Liam or Rio's level, it's really difficult to injure the current Link.
Despite not having Dao Rhythm during the group survival test, Link was still able to tank Rio's sword intent, indicating that his defense has become even more ridiculous since acquiring Dao Rhythm.
Vanya was shocked to see Link walk towards her, completely unfazed by all those attacks.
But then she gritted her teeth and placed her hand on her chest.
[Blessing of the World Tree: Self-Heal!]
In a matter of seconds, the blessing of the world tree covered Vanya's body and healed her broken arm.
But before Vanya could even think of her next attack, Link bent his knees a bit and arrived near her in an instant.
'So fast!?'
Vanya had no time to defend herself, as Link's punch was swift and precise. She was taken aback by his speed, and thus her reaction was delayed.
[Dragon Arts: Rising Moonlight!]
Link's punch landed directly on Vanya's stomach, and she flew into the air like an arrow.
"Guh!"
She coughed a mouthful of blood, as several of her ribs and internal organs had broken from that punch.
But Link wasn't even done yet.
He stomped on the ground and jumped into the air.
Using Dao Rhythm, he reached the ceiling of the SS-rank barrier at an extremely fast speed.
He clasped his hands together and hit Vanya with them with his full strength!
[Dragon Arts: Shattered Earth Strikes!]
"Gah!"
Apart from her, they can't really think of any other reason that could cause Link to be so worried.
At Rio's question, Liam nodded his head.
"Yeah, he said that Riya hasn't returned from her training session for so long now... which is very weird..."
Even Rio nodded his head at those words.
"Yeah... that girl can't live without candies and sweets... How come she didn't come back occasionally to get some candies from Link..."
Riya had given her whole stock of candies and sweets to Link before she left for training.
She didn't want to get distracted by them, so she said that she would come back to get some from Link during breaks in the training session.
But even Riya didn't know that she would have no breaks at all and wouldn't get to leave directly for a whole week.
Not only did this cause a lot of distress to Riya, but it also caused massive chaos in Link's mind.
Riya had never gone back on her words like this before; this was very weird, and it was hard to digest for Link.
Liam glanced at his smartphone and frowned when he saw Link leave the stadium ground with that stern expression on his face.
"He's really become impatient... This may be bad for you too, Rio... After all, you will be fighting him next..."
Hearing Liam's words, Rio didn't say much.
"I have fought him in his berserk state before... It's no big deal."
Liam let out a sigh in response to Rio's words.
"Sigh, although you fought him during the New Year festival... Link was not this strong at that time... Right now, I doubt he can already be considered a semi-S ranker when using Dao rhythm to maximum capacity..."
"Even I can't guarantee that I can land a proper hit on Link..."
Although Liam has Kazto's spatial warp techniques, those techniques can't do much damage to Link's 'Dao Rhythm'.
And if Link covers his whole body in Dao Rhythm, then it would be very difficult for Liam to land a proper hit on Link.
Moreover, unlike Rio, Link has extremely high strength.
Link's one punch is capable of directly blasting his summoned beasts to smithereens.
"Also... that fast speed he showed just now... That is definitely a movement art... He won't be too far behind in speed from now on... He likely learned it to counter you specifically..."
Even Rio couldn't help but frown at those words.
Link has always considered Rio his rival, so it wasn't surprising that he would take some countermeasures against Rio's insane speed.
In the first place, Rio's movement arts were also given by Link; it won't be surprising if he had a much better one for himself.
All in all, this whole situation only made Rio more excited.
'As we had promised, both of us really ended up reaching the finals...'
Rio and Link had promised to reach the finals, and now that was already done.
All that remained was to engage in combat tomorrow.
