1019 Exposed (1/2)
”Who is this?”
The surroundings went quiet for a moment before erupting into noise again.
Numerous martial artists looked at Wang Tianming as though he was an idiot.
After all, Fang Xu was well-known for being a Connate perfection expert and thirteenth on the Martial Roll! He was definitely first on the Hidden Dragon Roll!
How ignorant would one have to be to issue a challenge like that?
Even though his kick that shoved his opponent off the arena was quite stunning, he was still quite a distance away from the heaven's chosen.
The Heavenly Sword Sect Master and the Autumn Leaf Divine Monk exchanged anxious glances and slowly shook their heads.
After a moment, many gazes landed on Fang Yuan.
Would he, thirteenth on the Martial Roll, accept the challenge?
A white shadow flashed, and Fang Yuan arrived on the arena, his expression indifferent. ”If that's what you want, come die!”
”A life-and-death battle?”
The Divine Monk's expression turned compassionate as he pressed his palms together. ”Two benefactors, please do not injure life!”
”Good! A life-and-death battle!”
Wang Tianming clasped both hands behind his back, feeling the sparks of battle light up within him.
”Amitabha. If one thinks of taking revenge, it'll cause backlash!” The Divine Monk shook his head and sighed. Helpless, he looked at the Heavenly Sword Sect Master, seeming to have other thoughts in mind.
On the arena.
”I, Wang Tianming, have waited for this day for three entire years!”
Even though Wang Tianming sounded agitated, his martial arts stance was impressive and as immovable as a mountain. This was his instinct after years of constant hard training.
”Is that so…”
This three-year agreement with the Son of the World is also amusing, Fang Yuan thought. ”Let's see how you'll surprise me! Infinity Ice Palm!”
He swung his palm out, and icicles formed. The temperature around him abruptly dropped.
”Ha, Seven Slaughter Tiger Fist!”
Wang Tianming swung his fist, and the wind howled, sounding like a tiger was truly roaring.
Bang!
Fist and palm intersected, and both their bodies swayed a little.
Fang Yuan stood still and slowly said, ”Oh? Seven Slaughter Fist Intent? The Drunken Daoist?”
”This is…”
Above the arena, the Heavenly Sword Sect Master's eyes brightened. ”Is that the Drunken Daoist's Seven Slaughter Tiger Fist?”
”Being able to fight against Young Master Fang Xu's Infinity Ice Palm means that he must have comprehended the Fist Intent. Is this boy called Wang Tianming? Actually comprehending the intent and being equally matched with Fang Xu, he's also at the Connate perfection realm!” The Inferno Slayer stroked his beard thoughtfully. ”I owed Drunken Daoist a favor once. I can't see his successor die here.”
”Perfection stage!”
”He's so young, but he's not any weaker than Fang Xu!”
…
After the first exchange, the martial artists began cheering.
If someone trained in seclusion, nobody would care. But once they made a move, the entire world would know!
Regardless of the outcome of this battle, Wang Tianming's name would surely spread!
Even so, his face did not reveal the slightest joy. Instead, he focused on his enemy. ”So? Fang Xu, are you regretting giving me three years? In a mere three years, I've caught up to you, and soon, I will leave you far behind!”
He currently was full of the thrill of revenge.
After his thoughts aligned, even his martial arts seemed to go a step further!
”You're overconfident!”
Fang Yuan restrained his strength, maintaining it at the perfection stage and reducing his intent to micro integration, and attacked. ”Sheer Cold Divine Palm!”
”Ha! Seven Slaughter Fist Intent, Drunken Fist Fist Intent, Seven Slaughter Drunken Fist!”
Wang Tianming instantly hypnotized himself. His face flushed, and he seemed drunk yet not drunk. When he punched, his power increased by more than two times.
”Drunken Fist?”
This world also had martial arts like the Drunken Fist. Not only did it completely lack set moves, but the key lay in its ability to increase strength through drugs or hypnosis, comparable to people with innate divine strength.
With his foundations and exquisite martial arts, his attack power increased exponentially.
”This is…”
Above the arena, the Heavenly Sword Sect Master's and the others' eyes sparkled. ”He's so young, but he has comprehended two intents. Furthermore, he's managed to combine them into a single attack. Genius! He's an unparalleled genius!”
Bang!
Fist and palm intersected again, but this time, Wang Tianming remained motionless while Fang Yuan moved back a single step.
”Haha!” Wang Tianming raised his head and laughed at the sky. ”Fang Xu, today, I will return all the shame that you have given me, ten times, a hundred times more!”
He seemed like a drunk tiger as he dashed about fiercely. Each and every move carried boundless force, forcing Fang Yuan to dodge continuously.
The onlookers remained silent watching this.
”Drizzle Sword Fang Xu is going to lose? To an unknown newcomer?”
”This newcomer is quite fierce. Didn't you hear the Heavenly Sword Sect Master? He's at Connate perfection and has combined two intents. He's a genius!”
”Oh no. Fang Xu is going to lose!”
…
On the arena, Fang Yuan continued to dodge. No matter how Wang Tianming attacked, after fifteen minutes, Fang Yuan was still standing tall as before. In fact, he did not even touch a corner of his clothes.
