Chapter 20 (1/2)

Eternal Life (永生) Ch. 20

Immortal Shark Fis.h.i.+ng

“You seem to be unsatisfied. While you have trained to the seventh level of the Mortal Realm, something that is very rare outside, in the Yu’hua School people at the seventh level are very common. Please, let me see what you are unsatisfied about.”

“What are you saying?” said Fang Han through his clenched teeth, expressing his dissatisfaction so clearly that even a fool would be able to recognize it. Immediately, another young prince fiercely stood up, and began giving off an extremely cold Qi.

The surrounding people all suddenly felt a very condensed pressure, as if they were being squashed one by one by a large mountain.

In particular, Fang Han felt an even greater pressure, as if the prince could take his life at any second.

“Such tyrannical Qi, I only slightly showed my displeasure yet I have to suffer such severe consequences.”

Feeling the Qi, Fang Han’s body shrunk, his mind thinking. The air tore past his ears, resulting in an explosion. Suddenly a palm that seemed to have broken many Devils appeared in front of him, the distortion of air causing his forehead to ache.

Surprisingly, the prince had actually directly thrown out his hand, his body moving like a hawk in the sky, a shark about to bite, a snake about to strangle, a tiger stalking sheep.

“Prince Bao!”

Liu Kang’s facial expression changed, and he let out a shout of warning. However, it was too late.

“Be careful, that is the Nine Tyrant Dragons Fist!”

Hong Yi’s words reached Fang Han’s ears.

“Pouncing Tiger Roaming Dragon!” Hurriedly, Fang Han executed one of the moves of the ‘Tiger Dragon Flying Steps’, moving back, and letting the fist pa.s.s over his shoulder. However, the wind created by the fist caused his face to ache slightly.

Truthfully, Fang Han was most proficient at the ‘Seven Star Step’, but using the skills of the Qun’xing School while he was in the Yu’hua School was definitely no good thing.

“Your reactions are very agile! However, your usage of the Tiger Dragon Flying Steps is much too wasteful.”

This Prince Bao was a prince from the Da’de Empire. He appeared right where Fang Han had just taken shelter. Laughing coldly, he moved again, with the shake of his body, his wrist shot out, as forceful as the wind hitting a great tree. In the background, a vague sounder of thunder could be heard.

“Careful, it’s the Stormy Chop!” said Hong Yi.

“This guy’s movements, he must be at the eight level!” As Fang Han dodged, Prince Bao’s hand came once again, bearing the power of a storm, fiercely chopping at Fang Han, as if he was about to cut Fang Han in half.

Prince Bao was too fast! His footwork was too good!

His level was clearly one higher than Fang Han’s.

I can’t dodge it!

I can only go against it!

My advantage is that my bones are much stronger than regular people’s! Also, my recovery rate is many times higher than an ordinary pract.i.tioner!

In this moment, Fang Han set his mind, and he didn’t dodge, sending his palm out, using the ‘Flying Spirit Soft Body Enhancement’s ‘Cotton Palm Soft Fist’ to strike against Prince Bao’s body. First soft then hard! The two methods of exerting force, hard and soft, when combined resulted in a very profound fist.

“Peng!”

The two fists met. Fang Han only felt a ferocious strong power, his wrist feeling as if it had been struck by lightning. Immediately, his hand began to go numb.

As for Prince Bao, he had been forced back two steps, surprise flas.h.i.+ng through his eyes as he realized the abnormal strength of Fang Han’s bones.

After shaking his wrist twice, his blood and qi began to flow smoothly again, and his wrist was no longer numb. Fang Han never had thought that his arms and hands were as strong as a dragon, and able to create huge waves. Opening and closing his hand, he stubbornly sent out a strike at Prince Bao’s throat, and began fighting back.

“You’re fighting back?” Prince Bao let out a disdainful snort, his body slightly bending, looking like a giant fis.h.i.+ng rod, his two hands like a b.l.o.o.d.y shark/crocodile’s mouth going after prey. His speed was extremely fast, and in a moment his hands had bitten onto Fang Han’s arm. Immediately, one could hear the sound of bones grinding, of steel being broken in half. Fang Han felt as if he was a big fish that had been baited and thrown of the water, unbalanced.

Prince Bao took this opportunity to throw out another palm. Bo! Fang Han only felt his chest heat up and his entire body convulse and go flying, only to stop upon hitting the ground.

“Immortal Shark Fis.h.i.+ng!”

Seeing Fang Han being tossed around by Prince Bao like a fish and sent flying onto the ground, Hong Yi suddenly moved and landed by Fang Han, “You are okay right.”

“No problem!” There was a trace of blood on the corner of Fang Han’s mouth. His inner organs had just suffered great shock, but thankfully, they were as strong as steel. Otherwise, they would have ruptured.

“This Prince Bao is a level above me, and his moves even more mysterious than mine. I shall go home and train a hundred times and come back and shove his face in the ground! If I don’t get this off my back, lao zi isn’t a true man.”

Fang Han, clenching his teeth, stood up, acting like nothing was wrong. Wiping the blood of the corner of his mouth, he spit out, “Admirable, admirable.”

“The move Immortal Shark Fis.h.i.+ng is from the ‘Wan’gui Immortal Island’, are you going to ask him how he learned it?” Seeing that Fang Han was fine, Hong Yi continued, “Rumors have it that ‘Wan’gui Immortal Island’ disciples train by standing in a coral reef holding fis.h.i.+ng rods and trying to catch sharks. Using shark calves as bait to catch larger sharks, they can, with the toss of a fis.h.i.+ng rod, reel in sharks up to a couple hundred jin. The secrets of this skill are very mysterious.”

“My Da’de Empire, what styles do we not have? We even have the Wan’gui Immortal Island’s martial styles,” said Prince Bao proudly. Looking at Fang Han, he raised his two hands directing his knuckles at Fang Han. “Your body is not bad, it seems as if you have eaten some kind of spiritual medicine. However, you have too little combat experience, and your resilience is rather low. Alas, you do have some value, and are not trash. This time, you can join us.”

“Let’s go! When the school sends out the order, you guys come find us.”

Seeing that Prince Bao had beaten Fang Han, the other prince stood up, showing himself off very clearly.

After the others had left, Liu Kang coldly snorted, and then asked, “Fang Han, does it truly not matter?”

“I’m going back first!” Fang Han patted his body, and walked out of the ‘Jade Mess Hall’. The fight just now hadn’t gotten much attention from the other people in the hall. Due to the hundred thousand outer court disciples that ate there every day, conflicts were rather common.

While silently returning to his residence, Fang Han thought about why he had failed.

First, his combat experience was too low. Throughout his entire training, he had only fought against a couple head servants, and the important fight against the G.o.dly Strength Puppet. These two-three fights, how could it compare to Prince Bao’s experience which had been tempered through hundreds of fights to the point where killing was no longer numbing.

Secondly, his own strength was less than Prince Bao’s due to the level difference.

Third, his opponent had too many mysterious tricks.

“Since Prince Bao is able to use the martial styles of the Wan’gui Immortal Island, then I should be able to use the martial styles of the Qun’xing School without any misgivings.”

Wan’gui Immortal Island was the number one of the Ten Immortal Schools, and was built on the sea.
