Chapter 681: The True Meaning of ‘Going Easy.’ The Two of Them Had Turned against Each Other!
"That's because... Captain Nair went easy in the duel just now!"
As Joelson announced loudly, everyone's eyes were filled with shock!
Go easy? What did this mean?
When Vice-Captain Hansen heard this term, he was also puzzled.
This was the first time he had heard this term, so he did not know what it meant.
When he saw the confusion on the other party's face, he immediately understood. The underground city did not seem to understand the meaning of this word very well.
"The meaning of 'going easy' is very simple. It means that the captain of the guards, Nair, did not use all of his strength in the duel just now. Instead, he deliberately conserved his strength and fought with you in the final killing move!"
Seeing that the other party did not understand, Joelson directly explained the meaning of this word.
However, the moment Joelson said the meaning of this word, everyone was stunned.
Because compared to the confusion of the new word, they were more shocked by another matter.
On the other side, Captain Nair in front of them actually did not use all of his strength in the battle that was so evenly matched just now. Instead, he conserved the strength in his heart. He had actually conserved his strength in the face of Vice-Captain Hansen's attack!
This was simply too shocking.
Everyone below the arena instantly erupted into an intense debate.
They were chattering amongst themselves. What exactly was the meaning of these words!
Was it possible?
Everyone was in disbelief for a moment!
There was no other reason.
Although the captain of the guards, Nair, and the vice-captain of the guards, Hansen, were at the deity-level, against the peak demigod, Joelson, even a single glance at the two of them would be considered a loss.
As for Guard Captain Nair and Guard Vice-Captain Hansen, the powerful Joelson was an even more unreachable existence.
Compared to the peak demigod, Joelson, challenging the god-level Iron-Blooded King Reynolds, the two sides had an enormous disparity in power. They weren't evenly matched at all. Thus, they believed that one side hadn't used their full strength.
After all, the disparity in power was there. The powerful side had the ability to freely preserve their own strength, not having to fight with their full strength.
But to everyone, the two people in front of them, the deity-level captain of the guards, Nair, and the vice-captain of the guards, Hansen, had a duel that was completely different from the duel between Joelson and Reynolds.
Their strengths were not that far apart from each other.
The greatest difference between the battle between Joelson and iron-blooded Reynolds was this!
When two people of similar strength engaged in a life-and-death battle, in the eyes of everyone present, they could not hold back at all!
This was a battle where they had risked their own lives. Once they held back a little bit of their strength and allowed the other party to seize an opportunity, they would lose their lives.
Under such a tense situation, Joelson actually said that Guard Captain Nair had concealed all of his strength during the battle!
Guard Captain Nair did not use his full strength. This was too much to accept.
One had to know that their eyes had not gone blind. They had personally witnessed the decisive battle of the century between Guard Captain Nair and Guard Vice-Captain Hansen!
The ultimate killer move that they had unleashed was aimed at killing the other party!
Who in this world would go easy in such a battle of peak combat strength?
Basically, everyone had to prioritize ensuring that they were complete before going easy in a battle, right?
If that person went easy in a battle, then regardless of whether there was something wrong with his brain, first of all, how could he guarantee that he wouldn't be killed in this battle!
No one could guarantee that!
Everyone was doubtful, doubting the credibility of Joelson's words.
As long as one looked at the outcome of the battle between the two of them, one would be able to know the intensity of the battle!
One had to know that the arms of the two of them had been completely destroyed, not even leaving behind any remains!
With the intensity of the battle, if he were to reserve a little of his strength, he was afraid that he would be directly devoured by the opponent's ultimate killing move!
Under such circumstances, Joelson actually said that someone was going easy on him.
This was truly unbelievable!
"Lord Joelson is trying to help Captain Nair ascend to the throne, right? Otherwise, how could he lie like this?"
"That's right. Do you think this is possible? Going easy on someone in such a battle? This is simply impossible!"
"Hey, hey. Hey, don't say it so loudly. Don't let Lord Joelson hear you!"
Everyone was chattering. Obviously, they didn't really believe what Joelson said.
Joelson looked indifferently at everything that had happened below the stage. He had already guessed the reaction.
That's right, the reaction of the audience below the stage was within Joelson's expectations!
He calmly watched as the audience below the stage began to loudly discuss what he had just said. He wasn't surprised at all by this.
In truth, the captain of the guards, Nair, had truly been very realistic in his actions. He had almost fooled a peak demigod like himself.
If it hadn't been for the captain of the guards throwing a punch in the air at the final moment, perhaps Joelson would have been fooled by his opponent's realistic acting.
"Hey, Nair, is what Sir Joelson said true?"
"Did you really show mercy in the duel just now?"
Vice-Captain Hansen grabbed Nair's clothes in disbelief and questioned angrily.
In his heart, he didn't want to believe what Joelson said.
But in reality, he had no choice but to believe it!
After all, Captain Hansen was very clear in his heart!
Joelson was a much stronger existence than them!
As for lying to a puny deity-level underling like him...
There was really no need!
Joelson really did not have the need to lie to such a puny underling that he looked down on!
Joelson looked at Captain Nair indifferently and said faintly,
"Do you want to speak, or should I?"
Under Joelson's question, Captain Nair gritted his teeth and looked at his good friend, Vice-Captain Hansen, with a complicated expression.
"I'm sorry, Sir Joelson is telling the truth. I lied to you."
"In the battle just now, I didn't use my full strength..."
"I'm sorry... Hansen!"
