I Can Program My Body?-Chapter 537: Chronos Arena Debut (2)
Dodging his opponent’s attack, Nash began to fall into a flow state.
With the large difference in their strength, he had to anticipate his opponent’s movements, then dodge and attack correspondingly.
"Why? Is dodging all you know?!"
Having long noticed Nash wasn’t even a Void Marshal, Iron Boar felt useless that he couldn’t even hit him.
Activating all his skills and experience in the Chronos Arena, instead of suppressing Nash, he felt he was losing faster and faster.
As seconds and minutes flashed by, Nash’s movements became more and more sophisticated.
From dodging, he began to attack. Although most of it was ineffective due to the difference in their strength, Iron Boar still sustained damage.
"I don’t believe I can’t exhaust you to death!"
Unable to hit Nash, Iron Boar switched strategy and ran around the arena, kiting him to exhaustion.
With the difference in their power, no matter how skilled Nash was, he couldn’t catch up to him.
"Hmm? What’s the matter? Why are you running?"
Snapping out of his flow state, Nash paused, seeing his opponent had run away.
"Running?"
Feeling embarrassed, Iron Boar also stopped.
"If you can only retreat, then there is no need to fight."
"You—"
Feeling insulted, Iron Boar charged toward him.
Disregarding the result of the battle, he only wanted to take a piece of his opponent.
Isn’t it just a loss? He could always recover it later.
"Haha, good!"
With his opponent charging, Nash also wasn’t one to back down.
Getting used to his opponent’s movements, they began to clash without regard to anything.
With the clash of elements and brute power, sparks flew on the battlefield, causing gasps from the crowd who stumbled upon their battle.
The Chronos Arena was a public domain. As long as it wasn’t restricted, anyone could watch the battle for a certain fee.
These fees would then be split among the individuals, organizer, and the Chronos Empire.
Watching the thrilling battle between Nash and Iron Boar, the crowd began to chatter in curiosity.
"Who is that one? Noir? Is he some prodigy in the Chronos Capital?"
"A Void Venerate suppressing a Void Marshal? Hah! What a sight!"
"Such a fighting prodigy is indeed rare. Is he a participant of the coming cosmic competition?"
"Maybe, however, with such fighting ability, his realm is still a little low."
As the crowd continued to chatter, the battle between the two entered a fever pitch.
With wounds all over his body, Iron Boar continued to charge without regard for his life.
Nash, on the other hand, while not having been hit by a direct attack, felt his organs about to turn into mush.
Sustaining all the indirect attacks seemed to have damaged him more than Iron Boar.
"However, this is your end..."
At the last charge, he noticed the elemental barrier protecting his opponent’s body began to flicker in exhaustion.
Taking advantage of this gap, he thrust his hand, poking through his opponent’s body.
Thud~
"I— l-lost..."
Feeling his consciousness begin to fade, he looked through Nash in disappointment.
He didn’t expect that despite all his attacks, he couldn’t land a direct hit even once.

[Placement Match (1/3)]
Looking at the rows of notifications, Nash closed the tab and entered the resting area of the Chronos Arena.
The short battle was really draining. Not depending on his module system, Nash was a little unused to it for a while.
In the past, he only had to worry about attacking. Now he had to think about how to dodge, position, and manage his energy.
"This is kind of refreshing!"
---
Soon, after catching his breath, Nash was eager to have another battle.
"Another one!"
[Second Placement Match]
[Opponent: Wind Hero (78309)
Rank: Bronze 25]
Activating his runic detection, Nash began to peek at his next opponent’s strength.
[Wind Hero: Void Marshal
Base Power: 90 billion
Elemental Core: 1,615
Sublimated Element: 315
Estimated Power: 224 million]
"This one is a notch higher!"
Nash frowned, thinking of how he could defeat his opponent.
This one was on a whole other level than his previous opponent.
Earlier, he could still rely on his combat ability. Now, if Nash still held back, he wouldn’t even touch his opponent.
No wonder no Void Venerate dared to venture into this place. Just his second placement match already put him against such an enemy.

[Battle Start!]
At the signal of the Chronos Arena, Nash quickly summoned and merged with a hundred of his Celestial Beasts.
Each Celestial Beast could boost his power by a million in magnitude.
Thus, from 50 million, his raw power shot up to 150 million!
"This should be enough."
Meanwhile, feeling the power of brimming elements in Nash’s body, his opponent, Wind Hero, had a flicker of interest in his eyes.
"Is this a genetic ability? How intriguing~."
Circling around Nash, Wind Hero didn’t quickly attack.
As if admiring his prey, he began to study this unique ability he hadn’t seen before.
"I have no time for your games..."
Despite condensing more elemental cores, Nash’s resistance to the power of Celestial Beasts didn’t change much.
Feeling the corruption of elements slowly taking a toll on his body, Nash was the first to attack.
Condensing an elemental sphere, he shot it toward his opponent.
"Not to my face~."
Confident in his ability, Wind Hero slightly tilted his head.
Who knew that before he could react, the elemental sphere exploded.
Boom~
"This— I—"
It was well known that projectiles made of elements were already out of the caster’s control once they left their body.
Seeing the stability of the sphere, Wind Hero thought it was just a regular attack. Who knew it would explode?!
Not giving his opponent a chance, Nash continued his attack.
Forming multiple spheres made out of elements, he shot them toward his opponent.
"Not this time!"
Feeling his face still hurt from the damage, Wind Hero dashed to the right, planning to counterattack.
However, just like earlier, the elemental sphere that was supposed to be shot forward bent to the right and exploded again.
Boom!
