Translator: Radiant Translations Editor: Radiant Translations
As those people who had just tuned in weren’t too clear about the current situation of the duel, Wind G.o.d’s casting and a.n.a.lysis were crucially important.
“Captain w.a.n.g Zhong’s seems to be slightly at a loss, as he’s standing at his original position, not moving a single inch! Despite it being just a small exchange of blows, we can see that captain Galen has now gained an absolute superiority in this duel! What a frightening special ability and regenerative capabilities! Without even fighting, he has caused his opponent to be unable to take action! I can already feel the nauseating feeling one would get after eating flies present in captain w.a.n.g Zhong’s heart! Nonetheless, there’s no other way left for him! Being unarmed and defenceless, he has completely no way left to deal with captain Galen!” Wind G.o.d had completely entered a “high” state. What a good feeling it is to cling to a powerful being! Just his body was sufficiently strong to deal with w.a.n.g Zhong! This was such a surprise to everyone! “Now’s the time for Galen, and for Bella Dean! At this moment, captain w.a.n.g Zhong’s being struck by bad luck! The previous sense of victory was all just an illusion! He had almost achieved a miracle-like counterattack against Bella Dean! However, he’s now in deep, deep s.h.i.+t! Have you experienced despair before? Have you experienced being completely out of ideas in the face of difficulty, to the point of having nowhere to go? That’s the situation captain w.a.n.g Zhong is currently in!”
A wave of cheers and shouts rang out from the Bella Dean side of the viewing gallery. Regardless of their captain’s personality fragmentation or bipolar disorder, he was a Bella Dean! Although they could feel the weirdness emanating out from this captain Galen, with him not being as amiable as Adam, honestly speaking, he was considerably overbearing! And extremely provocative!
“Losers shouldn’t be thinking about how to counter attack, just admit one’s disparity!”
“Captain Galen’s mighty and overbearing! Smash up Tianjing, and climb up the Mo’s List!”
“Beat up w.a.n.g Zhong! Since he dared to provoke the dignity of Bella Dean, he can’t be allowed to get off easily! Slowly play with him until he dies!”
In the face of the ridicule shooting over from the entire viewing gallery, a smile appeared on w.a.n.g Zhong’s face.
At this moment, he started to rotate his shoulders in a leisurely fas.h.i.+on. Twisting his neck several times, he spread his hands apart, before slamming his fists fiercely together before his chest.
Bang!
A dull thud rang out, originating from the collision of w.a.n.g Zhong’s fists. The sound was exceedingly clear despite the tsunami of shouts and jeering present in the compet.i.tion grounds.
Can’t be beaten to death?
Let’s give it a try!
Now, w.a.n.g Zhong was feeling pretty interested! This was a cellular regeneration special ability from the dark era. In the present day, with the dimensional radiation being considered stable, it was nigh impossible for such an ability to appear in new humans. This time, he had managed to get a rare chance to see one in person. Furthermore, he now had the opportunity to personally engage in a fight with an inheritor of such an ability! This caused w.a.n.g Zhong’s fighting spirit to skyrocket.
Seeing the changes in w.a.n.g Zhong’s gaze, Galen gave an evil laugh. It was only when a prey reveals a gaze filled with resistance would they have the qualifications to be called as prey. If not, it would just be a slaughter of chickens or dogs. That’s something to be left for the butchers. Galen wasn’t a butcher, but an outstanding hunter!
Only this can be called as interesting!
As their gazes intersected, the flames of war were ignited once again! Although there wasn’t any of the killing intent and feeling of tension present in the earlier sword fight between the 2, people could swear they could already see a ma.s.sive ball of roaring flames surging within the stage!
“Captain w.a.n.g Zhong is still br.i.m.m.i.n.g with fighting spirit, huh. After losing his weapon, is he actually planning on engaging in a bare-handed fight? A bare-handed fight against a body morphing special ability user?” Wind G.o.d was intoxicated as he continued his casting, “From the looks of it, he seems to be rather confident about himself! As everyone should know, although soldiers do engage in hand to hand combat, that’s just to aid in their overall flow of the fight! That’s completely different from pure bare-handed fighting! To be able to treat one’s fists as one’s strongest weapons requires incomparable self-confidence! Only when one is able to achieve that would one be able to call genuine bare-handed fighter! There’s a saying, “Don’t use your interest to challenge other people’s occupations! Occupations are the true and true path!”. I seem to be able to predict the outcome of this duel! Perhaps there might not even be a need for captain Galen’s regenerative capabilities to come into play! By nature, he is already a specialist in bare-handed fighting, which means that he would be able to crush all those that are only half as proficient as he is!”
Before Wind G.o.d’s nagging voice came to an end, the 2 parties on the stage had simultaneously started their rus.h.!.+
“The exchange had begun!”
Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap! Bang!
With super quick movements, the 2 appeared right in front of each other in a blink of an eye. In hand to hand combat, the critical factor wasn’t the collision of strength, but more of the flow of techniques and skills one uses.
The hand speeds of the 2 reached levels that appeared invisible to the eyes of others. In the blink of an eye, they had each launched over a dozen moves and blocks at each other. With the fusion of strength and speed in their every action, clear sounds of air exploding apart rang out across the stage.
Just like a swallow, w.a.n.g Zhong’s figure moved nimbly across the stage, relying on his momentum to constantly switch places. In an instant after a stagger, the flurry of his feet caused people to only see a blur as his body fluttered about like a willow leaf in the wind. Transforming his left hand into a claw, and right hand locked before him, his stance changed into a southpaw one. Grabbing onto the punch piercing out towards him, w.a.n.g Zhong gave a convenient twist of his wrist.
CRACK! An incomparably clear sound of dislocation rang out, as Galen’s arm was forced into a reverse direction as opposed to his joint.
“What a quick capturing technique!” exclaimed some people in the audience.
There wasn’t anything spectacular about a capturing technique, as any soldier learning close combat would learn some similar techniques. However, doing to the level of fluidity and speed that w.a.n.g Zhong had just pulled off was definitely something that could not be mastered overnight.
Nonetheless, not a trace of happiness was present on w.a.n.g Zhong’s face. On the contrary, all of these felt too much like a breeze! He had basically not used any strength at all to dislocate Galen’s arm. It seemed as though his opponent had taken the initiative to dislocate his own arm!
Indeed, the dislocated arm did not hamper his opponent’s movements in the slightest. After rotating his arm 360 degrees, Galen grabbed onto w.a.n.g Zhong’s wrist tightly.
A deep smile appeared on Galen’s face as he exclaimed, “I got you!”
“I’m not sure.” w.a.n.g Zhong gave a flip of his wrist. Although he wasn’t able to move as freely as Galen after his dislocation, relying on the rotational force of his waist, w.a.n.g Zhong managed to generate a tremendous amount of power. Pulling on Galen’s arm, he gave the latter a throw!
Raising his right hand, w.a.n.g Zhong used both of his hands to grab hold of his opponent’s neck. With a ferocious jerk of his back and shoulders, he fiercely pulled down both of his arms.
Bang!
It was initially intended to be a powerful shoulder throw. However, it ended up with both of them falling down onto the ground. Immediately after, Galen’s legs had wrapped around w.a.n.g Zhong’s neck, resulting in w.a.n.g Zhong’s throw also knocking himself over.
Under the terrifying force of the fall, cracks visible to the naked eye formed on the firm and hard rock floor of the stage. However, before the 2 had righted themselves and stood up, attacks were still being relentlessly launched by both of them!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
With their 4 limbs being entangled by each other, their palms were engaged in a high speed of slapping, capturing, counter capturing and sending out blows!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
At a rate akin to the fire of a machine gun, punches and kicks were launched by the two. The occasional ones that landed on the ground beneath instantly caused fist sizes holes to appear on the rock hard stage.
Galen’s actions appeared incredibly fantastic, with the changes and feints he inserted within the critical instances causing people to utterly be unable to predict the moves and targets of his fists and legs. Clearly, w.a.n.g Zhong had already locked his wrist. Yet, that was still the wrong move, as his fist was able to be flung about like a nunchuck. Like a fly in motion, not a single trace could be discerned!
However, w.a.n.g Zhong’s movements were even faster! If one was able to accomplish ordinary skills and techniques like grappling and punches to a certain degree of quickness, the effects they would have were similarly astonis.h.i.+ng! What’s more, there was the nimble and deft footwork of his. At this moment, w.a.n.g Zhong’s spirit had already soared to a drug-like level of euphoria. Despite how weird and strange Galen’s attacks were, before they could strike their targets, w.a.n.g Zhong had already changed his moves, resulting in his attacks becoming useless.
In a flash, punches rained out, while kicks came hurtling out like the wind!
Hand to hand combat was an even greater test of one’s vision, reactions, speed, and strength. One could not be lacking in any one of these aspects. Naturally, people with unique talents, like Galen, who could achieve similar feats were clearly the exception.
Laura had also tuned in to watch the entirety of this match. Being the successor of the Potter Family and its ancient martial art of bare-handed combat, Laura’s proficiency in hand to hand combat techniques and skills were absolutely top-notch, while the acuteness of her vision being even more so. However, if she were matched up against Galen, without talking about the disparity in physical strength, the weird and strange paths made by his fists and legs would make even an expert in hand to hand combat start to question his or her life.
That was his style of combat!
Not only was he extremely formidable in his hand to hand combat, moves like eye gouging, nose hooking, low blows, biting, headb.u.t.ts, scratching, and even more immoral ones were also executed by him as easily as a flip of his hand. Every action he did was utterly lacking in any flair of an expert! Such a fighting style was no different from the lawless thugs at the corner of a dark alley! However, when those cheap and immoral moves were unleashed by a peak physical being like Galen, they would absolutely be the nightmare of any fighter!
In the families who inherited hand to hand combat martial arts, such a fighting style was known as “dogfighting”. Those who dared to practice in the art of dogfighting have a zealous level of confidence in themselves, being absolutely devoid of fear, and treated their bodies as weapons.
However, what perplexed Laura was that w.a.n.g Zhong seemed to not be afraid of such hoodlum moves at all. He seemed to be able to gauge every single one sent out by Galen at the right moment to enact the most precise of defences against them. This caused their fight to appear just like a perfectly ch.o.r.eographed dance between 2 fellows, merely one where the beautiful hand and leg movements were replaced with shameless hoodlum moves.
The frequency of w.a.n.g Zhong’s attacks was higher than Galen’s while appearing to not feel too exhausted from the process of the fight. Despite looking mysterious at the beginning, w.a.n.g Zhong was slowly gaining a greater understanding of the critical points of his opponent’s skills and techniques. In other words, Galen would still have to abide by the restrictions posed by his body, and the rotations were limited to his joints.
