Chapter 134 – Lion’s Fall (2/2)

On the other side of the platform, a few young cultivators from Seven Star School gathered. The dark skinned boy, Tu Fu Sheng and his seductive looking female friend were also paying attention to Ye Wei’s every move.

“The kid from South Star improved since we last saw him fight!” the girl bit her lip and rolled her eyes in admiration.

“Haha, so what?” Tu Fu Sheng chuckled, “he is no match for me!” a strange, aggressive green glow lit up deep in his eyes.

“Hey, don’t forget why we were sent here… he hasn’t contacted us for weeks now. It’s very possible that he has been captured or even killed by a human cultivator. I think it’s up to us to finish the task, stay attentive!”

“Stop being annoying! I am not stupid.” Tu Fu Sheng grunted.

The girl chuckled and disappeared into the crowd.

Back on the platform, Shi Hun Tian was approaching Ye Wei with heavy, ground shaking steps.

“I didn’t expect to use the Lion’s Savagery… this was the stance that won me the fight to become God’s Seven. I will make you suffer!” Shi Hun Tian’s face contorted from the suffering as his bones and muscles experienced by being twisted and stretched by the amplifying stance.

“You know an amplification stance too? It’s a shame it’s not comparable to mine.” Ye Wei shook his head and chuckled as he mumbled.

Ye Wei drew a sequence of specialized runes as he looked at the muscular figure walking towards him, ‘Selenic Ironbark Seal!’

The runes flowed fluidly as he kept channeling his Qi into them; a gigantic wooden palm appeared fifty meters high in the air. The runes’ twist and turns became wooden layers resembling a grainy bark pattern.

“Now, I’ll show you why stance quality matters, but don’t worry you can thank me later.”Ye Wei slowly extended his arms, making the stance fall on Shi Hun Tian’s head.

The wooden palm landed on Shi Hun Tian, smashing and pushing him towards the platform’s edge even against the force of Lion’s Savagery.

The two waves of energy clashed into each other similar to two tall tsunami waves. The terrifying force of the impact caused a quake at the platform. It sank a few meters into the mountain surface as the foundation became loose.

Under the pressure of Selenic Ironbark Seal, Shi Hun Tian could not control his movements although he stood upright. His body became a pick, his feet, the sharp hook, dug two deep ravines into the damaged platform as his body was pushed deeper and deeper into the damaged amethyst.

“How could this be!? I can not even fight back!?” Shi Hun Tian’s eyes widened, incredulous at the action taken place, ‘what kind of monster am I facing?’

Shi Hun Tian furiously channeled the remaining Qi in his meridians to fight Ye Wei’s Selenic stance, but his energy was of no use as he could not gain momentum under the immense physical pressure the Selenic Ironbark Seal imposed. Within seconds he was out of energy and unable to even slightly weaken the incoming strike.

“You are too small a cat to call yourself a lion,” Ye Wei shook his head and clenched his fist; the wooden palm immediately fell, burying Shi Hun Tian in the martial platform entirely.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The immense energy of Ye Wei’s stance did not stop; it just kept pressing into the platform.

The gathering audience behind the City Lord’s shield were stunned and knocked off balance by the escaping energy. They could only imagine what kind of force Shi Hun Tian was enduring; however, none of the three strongest Galaxy youngsters were afraid. Rather, they looked at each other and smiled excitedly.

“That was Shi Hun Tian with the amplifying stance…”

“So, Feng Yi, what do you think of this kid now?” Xuan Yu frowned and looked to his side. He anticipated his trustful comrade’s opinion.

“There was nothing I saw that you didn’t. I think I will be the one fighting him the day we face South Star.” Feng Yi slowly exhaled. It was the first time he felt this threatened by someone of such a young age.

Xiao Yuan and Xuan Yu nodded and exchanged a look. They were surprised that someone was able to intrigue their strongest cultivator. They never had seen him take a fight this seriously.

Back on the martial platform, Ye Wei slowly canceled the Selenic Ironbark Seal, retrieving the vast energy back into his body. He left the wounded Shi Hun Tian whose robe was torn into pieces inside the platform, panting for air. He had no strength to move as the amplifying stance’s effect faded.

All the audience widened their eyes as they witnessed the unbelievable.

“Shi Hun Tian lost? He barely fought back! Has he gotten weaker or is Ye Wei just incredibly strong?”

“Oh god! How powerful is Ye Wei?!”

Another thought struck the crowd as the dust started to settle down.

“God’s Seven, the person left standing is now the new God’s Seven!”

“Ye Wei has replaced Shi Hun Tian to become a seven!”

The South Star youngsters couldn’t help themselves; they screamed and danced.

“We have a God’s Seven in Green Moon City! And he is from our school!” Cao Ning shouted, Joe Yin, Liu Jian, Chen Mo and the rest were cheering from their hearts, shivering in ecstasy.

Until now Liu Jian was never truly happy with Ye Wei taking his place as the academy’s best cultivator. Nonetheless, as Ye Wei brought the title to South Star, he completely gave up the idea of competing with Ye Wei.

“How was that possible!?” Shi Xiao Ran shocked and startled, looked at his motionless student. He could not believe Shi Hun Tian was defeated by someone a whole year younger.

“Vice-principal Shi, I believe we had an agreement?” Xu He narrowed his eyes and chuckled. Winning the mystic arm did not mean half as much to Xu He as his team sweeping off Tri-Solar school, one of the crowds favourite, with only Ye Wei.

“Of…of course!” Shi Xiao Ran’s face was completely red, undisguisably embarrassed.

No one in the crowd expected the match to be over this quickly. Nor did they expect it would be such a one sided fight. Notwithstanding, Yu Wei’s strength spoke for itself. They were now looking forward to see if the new God’s Seven could carry on his momentum and topple the other six which would gain him a higher rank during the course of the tournament.
