Chapter 353 (1/2)

The young disciples cheered as they surrounded the stage where the new trial disciple appeared. They even forgot about offering their challenge tokens for their own contest while gawking at the display of skill.

Everyone was more interested in gaining some insight into the battle techniques this young man was using. With one glance they could see that he had trained them to a very high level. He moved thunder and delivered devastating blows that his opponent had trouble defending.

”Junior sister is losing? How can this be?”

The fans of Meng Meixiu both male and female were looking with eyes wide open. Her opponent was quite brazen but he had a lot of skill to back up that claim.

'Getting the hang of this…'

Zhang Dong thought to himself while moving his palm forward. A dragon made from lightning shot forward and bit into Meng Meixiu's battle fan. The girl in panic had to let her weapon go while jumping as far away as she could.

The dragon made from electric energy chomped down on this weapon and made quick work of it. With this, the young lady cultivator was disarmed and would need to use her body to defend herself.

”Senior sister, you may surrender if you wish.”

Zhang Dong smiled while standing upright. This young woman seemed a bit stuck up but this didn't mean that she needed a good beatdown. She also reminded him of his wife slightly so he was willing to let her quit if she wished for.

”You want this Meixiu to surrender? You must be taking me for a fool!”

It didn't seem that she was willing to, the only thing he could do was to shrug. While the woman continued to gather her Qi into her body he advanced slowly.

Green energy with a bit of lightning mixed into it started circling around that voluptuous body. Zhang Dong had to wonder if it was something in the food or if it was caused by cultivation. For some reason, the women in this world tended to be on the bouncier side. This one was nothing compared to his own wife but she wasn't a slouch either.

'Damn… I should stop thinking like this or I'll end up as that perverted gramps.'

While remembering his lecherous grandfather he took a step forward. The woman's attack activated as she swung her hands forward. A gust of wind flew his way, this looked like a ranged attack that turned the wind into blades with an added shocking effect.

Even if the wind blades missed the target, the electricity would shock the target. This is if someone didn't have some kind of lightning resistance or a helpful skill.

Zhang Dong held his palm out while making a grasping motion. The moment he did the lightning dragon that was coiling around his forearm shot forward while opening its mouth. The wind blades that were approaching him were promptly absorbed along with that meager amount of lightning energy that they carried.

”Impossible how could you…”

Before the young woman could finish the sentence Zhang Dong's body blurred. He activated his old moving technique that produced an electric afterimage in his old spot.

”Ugh…”

A foot collided with Meixiu's abdomen before she had time to react. At the exact moment as Zhang Dong's kick connected with the girl's stomach a tremendous thunderclap filled the stage. The girl flew far and wide and finally ended up outside of the ring.

She didn't collide with the rough ground though as she was caught by an old woman with light gray hair. This old lady looked at the person that sent this woman flying.

'Hm?'

Zhang Dong could feel killing intent pressing down on him. The old woman was clearly trying to suppress.

'Bullying juniors with no backing is it?'

It was clear that this old woman was either this Meng Meixiu's master, family member, or maybe even a bodyguard. She was at the level of a Martial Grandmaster so it wasn't something that he couldn't handle. The problem was that his persona that he was using couldn't.

'This calls for some acting…'

The old woman continued to glare at the young man while other disciples looked. They all knew what was happening but they couldn't offend an elder. What was surprising is that the person that was getting his cultivation suppressed was still standing upright.

”That's enough!”

The booming voice of Elder Jingyi filled the whole competition area and the old woman was forced to back away. The woman looked up to this Elder Jingyi while bowing in apology, soon she moved to the side with the jade-like beauty that had the wind knocked out of her.

'That guy took his time, it's not that easy to fake bleed.'

This was of course just an act, he did force his body to bleed for a moment but it was nothing but a scratch. There were no internal injuries or cultivation damage that mostly came with Qi attacks like that.

To play it up he stumbled forward after the pressure attack was removed. He was sure to look like a thick-headed disciple that didn't know his place yet. Even though most people didn't like when the juniors were impolite to the elder generation, they also had to commend them for their high pride. It was a sign of willpower that could not be easily broken.
