Chapter 603: Changes in Heaven and Earth
"Shut up!" Fuller shouted at his nephew, and through his monocle, he carefully examined the tall and handsome young man opposite him, "Excuse me...Are you Umberto Esposito?"
Umberto crossed his arms over his chest and nodded lightly.
Fuller took a breath, took out a handkerchief, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a shiver.
"Uncle! Do you know this kid?"
Wallace finally realized that the atmosphere was a little wrong.
Fuller turned around, stared at his nephew who didn't know who he had offended, and suddenly raised his hand and slapped him hard.
"Shut up your stinky mouth! Idiot! Unless you are tired of living!"
A little wizard duels with the "Archangel" of Patus Street?
What a joke?
There is no such thing as a way to kill yourself!
Another referee, seeing the conflict on the sidelines, quickly blew the whistle and announced the suspension of the duel.
Gao Fei and Hashim, whose magic power and true energy had been exhausted, got a chance to breathe because of this unexpected pause, landed from the air, and took the opportunity to recover their physical strength.
"What happened?"
"Mr. Wallace accused Mr. Esposito of cheating and using magic to change the weather above the duel field."
"Ha! If I remember correctly, not long ago, Mr. Esposito also accused the other party of cheating in this way."
The three referees gathered together to discuss how to solve this thorny problem.
"Three respected gentlemen, please allow me to interrupt."
Lisa Colt came over.
"Just as you just determined that the sudden rain was not an off-field factor, according to the same logic, you should also determine that the clear weather at this moment will not affect the fairness of this duel."
"Ms. Colt, I do think so."
"Me too."
The two referees expressed their opinions.
The third referee hesitated and couldn't help looking at Fuller.
Lisa caught the strange expression on his face and smiled slightly.
"To be honest with you gentlemen, I am a 'judge' who just graduated from the seminary. I prefer the retro title of 'inquisitor'."
"You must know that we judges are best at seeing through lies and distinguishing truth from falsehood. Frankly speaking, most of the liars, charlatans and cultists who were sent to the stake by us in history deserved it."
"If the three gentlemen don't mind, I would like to use my little talent and the divine power bestowed by Lord Perro to identify who is lying between the two parties in the dispute. What do you think?"
While the three judges were still hesitating, Umberto coughed twice and spoke with a smile.
"I fully agree with Miss Colt's suggestion, and I believe that this respectable judge can distinguish right from wrong and clarify the truth."
"But I have a small request."
"Three respectable referees should also undergo the same polygraph test to prove that you are enforcing the law impartially, rather than secretly accepting bribes from someone and deliberately favoring one party."
"The integrity of the three gentlemen is well-known. I don't think you will refuse this small test?"
"To be honest, I am very unhappy to be suspected by you like this!" One of the referees took the lead in expressing his opinion, "But in order to prove that I have nothing to be ashamed of, I am willing to accept Miss Colt's polygraph test!"
"I have no objection either." Another referee nodded.
"I have no problem either..." the third referee said with a stiff upper lip.
Wallace's face turned pale and his lips trembled.
Fuller glanced at his nephew with a look of regret, then turned to the referee and said, "Wallace was just too nervous and accused Mr. Esposito without reason. I apologize on his behalf. Let's skip the polygraph test. It's better to finish this duel as soon as possible."
"That's the best way to avoid wasting everyone's time."
Lisa stopped when she saw that things were going well.
Her professional ability "Guided Confession" can indeed force a person to tell the truth, but the premise is that the other party cannot pass the will exemption.
Since an exemption is required, there are variables.
If the liar is extremely determined and insists that what he said is all true, "Guided Confession" may not be effective.
The three referees discussed it and temporarily added a rule to avoid the endless consumption of the duel between the two parties, requiring that both parties should not stay in the air for more than 30 seconds, otherwise they will be automatically judged as losers.
David Fuller's face improved slightly.
Although the favorable weather was lost, the newly established rules were more favorable to Hashim.
The fight between the two parties stayed on the ground, and Hashim had no reason to lose to his opponent.
"Bearded" Hashim thought so too.
When the referee announced the resumption of the interrupted duel.
He immediately activated "Flying Eaves Step" and "Sprinting", combined with his specialty "Mastery of Jumping", leaped up like a cannonball, and slammed his palm in the air towards the opponent who was falling to the ground.
Bang!
The surging palm power surged in the air, but hit nothing.
Before Hashim made a move, Gao Fei had already changed from the wind element form to the earth element form, accelerated his descent, and disappeared out of thin air the moment his feet touched the ground.
The people watching outside the field were in an uproar.
They stared wide-eyed, but could not find Gao Fei's trace.
Hashim hit the air with his palm, fell back to the ground, looked around, and could not see the trace of his opponent, and his two thick eyebrows were tightly locked.
After a little thought, he gave up the search, simply closed his eyes, and used his body and ears to sense the slight movement on the duel field.
The monk's special skill "Heavenly Ear" gave him superhuman hearing and sense of touch. Every hair on his body could sense any movement within 60 feet.
Ripples appeared in the water under his feet.
The slight vibration from the ground was transmitted to the rain, amplified into circles of ripples, and spread to Hashim's feet.
These abnormal movements alerted him, and he jumped up without thinking.
"Agile Movement" combined with "Mastery of Jumping" and "Flying Eaves Step" made his jumping power so strong that he could jump more than 40 meters in the air!
At the same time, the source of the ground vibration, the soil split in all directions, and a giant made of rocks and mud broke out of the ground, revealing a pair of thick arms and half of a majestic body.
The large earth element incarnated by Gao Fei almost touched the soles of Hashim's feet with his fingertips.
Unfortunately, it was just a little bit short, and the extremely alert monk slipped away.
The attack from underground failed, Gao Fei did not hesitate and immediately escaped underground!
At the same time he sank into the ground, Hashim also shot a water arrow from the air.
Whoosh!
The water arrow drew a deep gully on the surface of the ground, and mud splashed.
It also missed Gao Fei who had already dived deep into the earth by a millimeter.
Hashim could not fly, and could not violate the rules of the duel. He continued to stay in the air and had to fall back to the ground.
The opponent turned into an earth element and shuttled freely under the ground.
As long as he stepped on the ground, he might be attacked by the opponent at any time.
