Chapter 1001: Chapter 988: Care from an Elder Brother Chapter 1001: Chapter 988: Care from an Elder Brother Boom!

Muria thrust his sword into a floating cannon that Heloise was operating, almost firing it point-blank at his face. Bolstered by the aura of Martial Dao, the long sword in his hand, which was nothing more than a toothpick compared to the floating cannon, pierced it straight through, with pure white and dazzling Qi appearing from the opposite end of the cannon.

Originally, this white spot was just a tiny dot when it first appeared, but it quickly expanded at a visible rate and then spread, cleanly slicing the entire floating cannon in two.

Then, the cleanly cut halves of the floating cannon split apart, yet they did not fall downwards because Heloise was controlling them, directly using them as weapons to strike at Muria.

“The profession of a Star Armor Master really is tough as nails!” Seeing the floating cannon debris coming at him from both sides to sandwich him, Muria slapped with his left hand and kicked out with his right foot, leaving a clear palm print and footprint on the two pieces of debris.

At the same time, the strength generated by his body, honed over more than a decade, acted on these two pieces of debris, sending them flying far away. Under such tremendous force, Heloise temporarily lost control of them.

After destroying and sending the pieces of the floating cannon flying, Muria once again closed the distance with Heloise. With Martial Dao Fist Strength and Sword Qi, he repelled all the Star Armor weapons and attacks that tried to approach him.

The wild aura of Martial Dao, mixed with brilliant energy ripples, filled the air of the arena. One after another, Star Armor weapons were forcefully expelled from the arena by Muria’s immense strength.

Star Armor Masters have a distance limit for controlling Star Armor weapons. Beyond a certain range, the connection between the Star Armor Master and the Star Armor weapon is severed.

This distance is determined by the Star Armor Master’s level and the compatibility with their Star talent. Muria did not know how far Heloise’s control over her Star Armor could reach, but that didn’t matter, he just needed to use all his strength to knock away every piece of Star Armor weaponry.

“Heloise, brace your teeth, it’s going to hurt a bit. Remember not to cry,” Muria said with a smile as he approached within five meters of Heloise, and then, amidst this smile, his fist struck Heloise’s chest armor.

Bang!

When Muria’s fist landed on Heloise’s chest armor, a faint ring of Qi diffused, and in the next moment, Heloise turned into a white shadow and smashed straight into the middle of the arena.

Boom!

At the moment of contact with Heloise’s Star Armor, the ground instantly formed a crater more than a meter deep, with shattered rocks flying everywhere, causing the entire arena to tremble slightly under the impact.

Some spectators in the stands felt the vibration beneath them and immediately stood up. Some showed faces of shock and anger, others reveled in schadenfreude, and some purely enjoyed the spectacle.

“Seriously, are these two really siblings? That was an incredibly harsh blow!”

“If I’m not mistaken, Heloise’s Star Armor seems to have shattered. With the armor in such condition, her body must have suffered even greater damage. Geez, I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen Heloise beaten up like this.”

“They must have had a feud!”

“Is this guy even human? Having such a beautiful sister and still being able to strike so harshly. If she were my sister, I’d be too busy taking care of her.”

“But unfortunately, she’s his sister, not yours.”

…Regardless of what emotions or comments the spectators in the stands were expressing at this moment, it had no relevance to Heloise, who was currently lying in the crater, overwhelmed by the piercing pain emanating from her chest.

“Cough!”

A slightly rusty-tasting liquid bubbled up from her throat. There was a numb feeling in her chest, but as time passed, the numbness in her chest bones turned into a piercing pain that made her want to scream.

However, Heloise remembered the words Muria had said before throwing his punch, so she clenched her teeth tightly, not allowing herself to cry out in pain. At the same time, she felt an indescribable resentment and frustration in her heart.

“Can you still stand up and continue fighting?” And then, a casual voice came from above her. The girl opened her eyes and immediately saw a tall figure in casual clothes, walking on air under a white aura.

“I can.” Under the emotions of indignation, frustration, and a bit of unwillingness, Heloise gritted her teeth and squeezed out a word between her teeth.

“If you can, then stand up quickly. If this were a battlefield, and you were my enemy lying on the ground for so long, you would already be dead,” Muria, looking down at the girl lying in the crater, with her chest armor full of cracks, said in a calm tone.

“But this is the arena, not a battlefield.”

Feeling somewhat aggrieved in her heart, the girl staggered up from the ground, enduring the sharp pain from her chest. As she moved, she felt the pain intensifying; she knew her bones had been broken by her own brother. But she only thought about what she had just said in her mind and did not speak it aloud.

“Now, do you concede to me, or do you choose to continue fighting?” Muria landed on the ground and looked at the girl under the faceguard as blood dribbled down, his tone still calm.

As he asked the question, he had also labeled his younger sister as a greenhouse flower, knowing full well the extent of the injury his previous strike had inflicted on Daisy.

Was it only about breaking seven or eight ribs and causing internal injuries? That was all the damage, and yet she lay on the ground unable to rise, clearly showing she had suffered too few injuries.

“Unless I’m lying on the ground, unable to move even a finger, don’t even think about me admitting defeat,” she said.

“Hmm, although you’re not very skilled, your fighting spirit is commendable, not bad,” Muria said with a look of appreciation on his face when he heard Daisy’s words, “As my sister, this level isn’t sufficient, but when I’m free later, I can spare some time to train with you!”

“?!” The girl’s face stiffened when she heard Muria’s words. What did she just hear? This brother she had never met before not only beat her once but also wanted to beat her a second and third time?

Was there a grudge? Well, it seemed there really was one. It seemed to stem from her birth, which led to Aux divorcing his mother, making him a child of a single-parent family. But, shouldn’t this sort of thing not be considered a disadvantage? She was taking the blame for her brother, after all.

“Hmph, brother, if you want to fight me, I’m ready any time,” she said, her attitude hardening upon realizing her brother’s “malice.”

“Good, draw your close combat weapon, I want to see your level in close-range fighting. Even though you are a Star Armor Master, you must also learn how to fight enemies at close range,” he said.

Muria nodded. He actually had no ill intentions towards Daisy, he just realized that this young girl had a pretty good personality and given her talents, they were considered outstanding in this world, so he had the intention to cultivate her.

As for how to cultivate her, of course, it would be according to the Titan way! It was clear to him that his sister had far too few real battles, and the previous so-called battles must have been playful, otherwise her tolerance for pain wouldn’t be so low.

Once his sister got used to experiencing injuries like broken arms and legs and occasional shattering wounds, her combat strength would definitely increase significantly, not to mention her endurance towards pain.

Muria thought there was no problem with this method of fighting, as he had been raised this way since he was a child. He remembered the scenes from his childhood when he fought with Heloise, whom his father had arranged as his sparring partner.

Not a single fight went by without him breaking a dozen or so bones, and his organs often burst, even his skull had been cracked open by Heloise a few times.

Of course, Muria did not plan to crack open Daisy’s skull in future battles, after all, she was a delicate and pretty young girl; it would be too cruel, simply incapacitating her by breaking limbs would be enough.

…

Bang!

A dull metallic collision sound echoed as Daisy, along with several white fragments of her star armor, was sent flying against the arena wall, with droplets of bright red blood falling to the ground from the cracks in her armor.

A beautiful long sword spun a few times in the air before it firmly stabbed into the ground, its blade slightly trembling.

“Can you still stand?” Muria slowly approached, his attitude towards Daisy having completely changed.

“I can.” The girl, in pain all over, answered through clenched teeth, then forced herself to stand up from the ground.

“Daisy, what will you use to attack me now? A weapon is a martial artist’s second life, and the same applies to you. In this state, a close combat weapon could be key to possibly winning, yet you have let it slip from your control,” he said.

Muria slowly advanced, now resembling a triumphant villain towering arrogantly over the defeated, giving a condescending sermon.

“I am a Star Armor Master, losing my weapon isn’t really a big deal,” the girl retorted after being “maliciously” beaten by her brother for a few minutes.

“Is that so? Try summoning your weapon back then,” he challenged.

“Hmph!” The girl reached out towards the long sword, less than ten meters away, which then began to tremble, about to fly up from the ground.

Zing~

The snow-white blade reflected the brilliant sunlight above, but just as the sword started to lift off, a pure white fist strength struck the blade, sending it flying.

“You see, now you have no weapon in your hands. In front of me, you are just like a fish on the chopping board, completely at my mercy,” he said.

Having nearly disarmed all the star armor from the girl in front of him, Muria spread his hands.

“I still have my fists.” The girl clenched her teeth and, driven by a mix of despair and determination, charged at Muria with resolute fury.
