Chapter 569: Secret Arts (1/2)
Sam could feel all his meridian network going numb for a moment. He wouldn't be able to circulate the energy normally like that.
After closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, Sam noticed a huge threat that is looming over the cocoon and also a fierce attack that was going to hit him.
But he didn't hurry. He still had his eyes closed and the spiritual energy started moving all over his body, he is not using the meridian network, rather using the muscle fibers to circulate the energy, he might not be able to use elemental attacks because it would be torturous to convert the spiritual energy into elemental energy without flowing through the meridian network.
But the elemental attacks are not the only cards up his sleeve. His arsenal is full of so many attacks that he didn't even have a chance to use them at all.
As he concentrated, all the spiritual energy started concentrating on his vertebrae. It accumulated along the spine, of course over his skin.
Sam wriggled a bit and bent his body into an arch as his belly moved forward. Finally, after one deep breath, he slammed his back into the back of the cocoon.
The spiritual energy exploded on the vines and half of them are damaged, the rest are stuck in a small chaotic spiritual energy storm caused by the sudden void of spiritual energy. This is the Void style he learned from the Monkey king during the previous Palace of Inheritance.
All of this happened in seconds as he kicked his legs forward and tore through the cocoon from the rear.
By this time, not only the spear reached the cocoon, even the fruits exploded.
The large puff of red smoke was blasted all over the cocoon and even the vines are corroding at a visible rate and the spear cleared a small region in the smoke as it blasted towards Sam.
But Sam who is already out of cocoon just fell back without trying to run.
As soon as his back hit the ground, his meridian network is also clear and he kicked both his legs forward and air cannons made him skid on the ground as he moved farther away from the red corrosive smoke.
He could even see the spear moving over him and he could even observe even that spear was corroded.
To corrode the Black star gold to that degree only when it traveled through the smoke just for an instant, one must estimate how good the smoke is.
After the spear went away, Sam finally jumped up and the first thing he did was take a look at his coat. Then only he saw that some feathers are bent on various positions.
The thorns of the vines are so strong that they could even damage his feather coat, it is really his luck that he tempered his body, otherwise he would be done for.
As Sam is checking his feather coat with a cold look, his two opponents gulped hard. This was once chance they got and that too half of it is a surprise attack. They don't believe they will get this lucky every time. They surely lost the golden chance.
Meanwhile, Karthikeya who is looked at the situation was feeling impressed.
He knew Void style pretty well, that is the damn monkey's go-to move in every battle. There is only one reason for using that. Almost all kinds of armors and defenses crumble under that power and almost every fight ended in one punch.
In fact, it was always a bit overkill, even with that one punch.
But for the first time, he saw the void style used in such a way. Even though Sam didn't reach Moneky's skill yet, he is still not bad for his level, and his control over the skill is great to the point he dared to use it at his spine. If something happens, his spine will shatter along with the spiritual energy explosion.
He couldn't help but look at him in a new light.
After examining his coat, Sam slowly walked to his staff that was dropped there and stored it away. It is the normal staff without anything special about it, except that it was made by himself.
He took out another staff and this is also made of Black star gold. He is the biggest profiteer of the Black star Gold and he has more weapons than anyone. He planned to use them as gifts for his subordinates and even placed them in the credit exchange system.
But he has too many to use them all up.
He swung the staff a bit and seemed like he was trying to make himself familiar with it. After that, he finally looked at his two opponents.
”That was a good move. But too bad, it didn't succeed. Let us see if you are lucky enough to get another chance like that.”
