Chapter 89 What is the Meaning of Cultivating Ones Body? (2/2)

Wu Kuang met fire with fire and found an opportunity to knock his opponent backward. As the distance between them grew, he suddenly attacked with a Cloud Piercing Kick. An immense amount of spiritual force was contained in the kick; he wanted to gain the upper hand. Wang Bugui secretly channeled his power and returned serve with a Meteorite Kick. Up till now, he had not used his Innate Prana Power and was relying solely on his vast amount of blood vigor.

”Ergh!”

It was Wu Kuang himself who suffered from the clash. A micro fracture appeared on his shin bone, and he leaped far away to regenerate with his spiritual power. Wang Bugui did not follow up and gave him time to heal. He then charged forward again when his opponent had fully recovered.

He struck with a blow of his Break Heaven Fist, and the impact caused Wu Kuang's blood vigor to become turbulent after he met the attack head on. He gritted his teeth and continued fighting in anger. He lashed out with a powerful Shattering Martial Fist, which his opponent blocked with one arm before striking at him with the other. Wu Kuang leaped back to avoid the blow before somersaulting into the air to avoid his opponent's sweeping kick. He then used the momentum of his jump to launch an airborne elbow strike on Wang Bugui.

Wang Bugui immediately kept his sweeping leg back upon seeing the attack and flipped himself upside down. He supported his body weight on both hands and kicked at his opponent. Both of them had secretly infused their attacks with Tao and magic, and another huge boom rang out. They retreated faraway from each other. Wu Kuang could feel his entire arm turning numb and thought, ”I didn't expect my opponent's body to be so tough. Looks like I have to show my true power.”

”Lording Over All Beings, Unmatched Martial Prowess!”

He let out an angry roar and forced two forces out of his body, one of them white and the other black. His abilities had been increased by a few times beyond their usual levels now. He unleashed his Heavenly Palm, and a giant white palm flew out. Wang Bugui summoned a huge giant hand to meet it head on, and both gigantic hands turned into a shower of light as they clashed.

Wang Bugui seemed to have realized something and leaped up into the air. Wu Kuang's leg came flying toward him less than a second after his feet left the ground, and he used the momentum to launch an airborne Extreme Heaven Explosion assault. Powerful punches rained down on Wu Kuang, and he was not fast enough to block all of them. A few of them fell on his shoulders.

Wang Bugui followed up with an immensely powerful punch. It came crashing toward Wu Kuang with tremendous force, and it forced the ground, which had been protected by a few defensive barriers, to sink by a few inches. Needless to say, the amount of spiritual force unleashed by Wang Bugui was immense. It forced Wu Kuang to kneel, and before the force of the blow had dissipated, Wang Bugui somersaulted in the air and kicked him directly, causing him to fly backward.

There was a huge crash, and Wu Kuang only stopped moving backward only after a long passage had been carved into the ground. He was trembling in anger as he had never been put down in this way before. He had been suppressed by Wang Bugui ever since he counter attacked, and he had not managed to turn the tide even after using his forbidden art. He got up slowly and coughed out a mouthful of blood. ”You've pissed me off, and you're going to have to pay for that!” he said.

”Come on then!” Wang Bugui replied coldly.

All of the practitioners who were watching were shocked. None of them had expected a disciple from a sect which prided itself on physique cultivation to lose out to that of Wang Bugui's, and for Wu Kuang to be seriously wounded as well. They were alarmed at how strong Wang Bugui was.

”Worship the martial arts, and become obsessed with it. Challenge the heavens!”

Wu Kuang seemed to have been driven wild with anger, and his eyes had been replaced with a terrifying neon red glow. A ruthless aura emanated from his body, and he seemed to have lived up to his namesake - to become obsessed with martial arts! It was a technique of his own creation, and it triggered a power that was 10 times more powerful than his usual self. It leaked out of the arena, terrifying all of the practitioners and causing their hairs to stand.

Green veins protruded out of his skin. ”I'm going to cripple you with the next move!” he roared.

”You've already lost by using a technique that you can't control or direct. Let me teach a lesson about what cultivating one's body is all about!” Wang Bugui chided angrily. He then channeled his Heavenly Battling Force secretly, and there was no overwhelming aura leaking to the surroundings. In fact, he gave off a very calm aura.

Wu Kuang was already charging toward him by this time like an uncontrollable beast released from its cage to look for prey. Wang Bugui raised his fist gradually, and the spectators noticed that a gale was forming around his hand as he raised it. It was formed by immense spiritual power, and a vast pool of blood began surging out, engulfing the entire arena in the process.

”What powerful blood vigor!”

A few practitioners could not help but exclaim. ”Who could compete with such immense blood vigor? No wonder his body is so tough”, they thought. Wang Bugui kept absorbing huge amounts of spiritual force from the surrounding, and he punched out when Wu Kuang was about half a meter away from him. It struck Wu Kuang directly on his abdomen, and the surrounding air and spiritual force rapidly condensed before exploding in the next instant.

”Boom!”

Wang Bugui struck with his Break Heaven Fist at maximal force, and it came crashing down upon Wu Kuang with 50 kilograms of force, along with immense spiritual force and blood vigor. The spectators observed a red ball of light rapidly growing bigger and breaking apart. The blinding red flash that ensued engulfed the entire arena, along with everyone else. Even the Headmasters and elders in the palace observed with their eyes wide open.

It took an entire minute for the red light to completely vanish.

”What?! This...!”

Everyone suddenly realized that the entire arena was beyond recognition again. It had sunk by few centimeters, and a huge crater about 30 meters wide appeared in the center of the arena. Wu Kuang himself was lying right in the middle of the crater. Wang Bugui stood beside him and turned to sweep his gaze across all the spectators. It was as if an indomitable demon was staring at them, and it caused the spectators to take two steps back involuntarily.

They felt as though their hearts had leaped out of their chests, and they tried to forcibly control their fear. Wang Bugui had won, and he had absolutely no doubt that he would win. He had even boasted of teaching Wu Kuang the true meaning of physical cultivation, and he did it. Wang Bugui had beat the sect which prided itself on physical training at its own game.

”The meaning of physical cultivation is to discover the hidden potential at the extreme limits of the human body, along with its amazing properties. If one's strength is insufficient, one should forcibly train. So what if one's bones are broken, or one's ligaments are torn? Rejoin them and break them again. Only then, one can be considered as having embraced physical cultivation. You can't achieve that merely by using magic. Suffering and cultivating an unbreakable body; that is the true path!”

Wang Bugui chided the semi-conscious Wu Kuang before leaping out of the crater and turning to leave. The other practitioners parted a way for him, and none of them dared to look down upon him again. His strength was so terrifying that it was suffocating.

A little of the usual devilshness was gone from his face, replaced by pride and authority. It made all of the ordinary practitioners bow down to his might, and even the geniuses that remained were moved. All of them acknowledged that he was a peerless opponent.
