181 The Heaven and Earth Arena 3 (1/2)
Until now, An Fei had not realized the phenomenon that manifested with each clash of spiritual essence from two practitioners.
When Tang Shiqi's metal pole slammed onto Fang Man's fists infused with spiritual essence, a faint, nearly invisible flicker of orange light blazed into life around the two cultivators.
An Fei rubbed at her eyes in surprise and disbelief, her lips parting to reveal a startled 'oh' upon realizing that it wasn't an illusion.
The flicker… could be described as a shockwave, as though the brilliance of the light dissipated after a few centimeters of expansion, the wave continued to traverse the space until it contacted a solid entity.
When the palm and pole struck one another, the compounded shockwaves caused the air around them to vibrate at an intense frequency, distorting the visible atmosphere.
The intensity of the collision between the waves fluctuated depending on the frequency of the attacks between the two practitioners, Tang Shiqi and Fang Man, but the wavelength remained relatively constant.
The faint orange light encompassed the contact point between the fist and the pole, as though displaying the result of a chemical experiment.
”Spiritual essence… when projected outside of the body…” the young girl murmured to herself, her eyes eagerly observing the clash of the two youths on the basin of sand.
”Fluctuations as though a wave… compounded intensity and frequency…”
Pa!
Taking advantage of Fang Man's unexpected breath of fatigue, Tang Shiqi balanced his weight onto one end of the metal pole, his feet digging into the sand as he strained his muscles to their fullest.
The youth of the Tang Clan adjusted his grip to the unrestricted end of the pole as he swung a full circle, the metal pole carving a circular path of destruction on the sandy ground.
”Don't you dare!”
Fang Man roared as his palms swept forth, the fingertips blazing with a dense coating of spiritual essence.
The youth of the Fang Clan nervously swallowed and grimaced in his heart as the steel pole swept towards his palms from below, his teeth gritting in anticipation for the brutal impact.
Boom!
The fingers failed to latch onto the steel pole, their mission in wrenching Tang Shiqi's weapon resulting in a complete disaster.
Fang Man's body was hurled backwards, having received the full force of Tang Shiqi's momentum without any inhibitors.
Tang Shiqi spun the pole over his heads and shoulders as he charged forth, the sigil trailing behind him seething with a roiling aura as the pole gained increasingly potent angular momentum.
The youth urged the remainder of his spiritual essence towards his legs to generate a final burst of strength, dashing directly before Fang Man's shocked figure.
”Hah!”
The youth of the Tang Clan stomped with his left foot, pivoting with his heel to turn to the right. With his right foot serving as a stabilizer, Tang Shiqi performed a full moon sweep in the clockwise direction, the steel pole extended to its complete range of devastation.
Fang Man didn't dare skimp on his reserves of spiritual essence, urging the meagre streams of warmth to surge throughout his muscles.
The handsome youth no longer dared to display a contemptuous glare as he extended both of his arms forward, his left shoulder serving as the vanguard as his left hand supported his right arm.
Pa!
A single fist infused with spiritual essence dared to strike onto the terrifying momentum of a steel pole, and the resounding flicker of orange light emerged onto the Heaven and Earth Arena once more.
Both youths were abruptly hurled backwards as they lacked the necessary spiritual essence to fortify their balance, the collision far too heavy for either of their bodies to handle.
Puff!
Tang Shiqi dragged himself onto his feet, vomiting a mouthful of blood in the process.
The youth of the Tang Clan staggered as he noticed the gloomy and pained countenance of Fang Man glaring in his direction from a distance of thirty meters.
The steel pole had lost the minimum spiritual essence required to maintain the manifestation, and had dissipated into innumerable particles of hazel light.

In its final departure, however, the pole had crippled the Young Lord of the Fang Clan's dominant hand, shattering even the bones from the single strike.
”This…”
Tang Shiqi breathed deeply from his disbelief at the outcome. The youth directed an anxious gaze towards his back, the acrimony in his heart increasing from the disappointment that the sigil had similarly exiled itself from the world.
”Both of them seem to have depleted their reserves of spiritual essence.”
