Chapter 822 Huang Xiao (2/2)
That aside, when the shura liquid became public, the value of life geno essences would drop as it became easier for others to slay super creatures. Holding onto one now seemed pointless considering what lay ahead.
”Really? Where are you?” Tang Zhenliu asked, visibly happy.
”Let's watch the match first. We can talk more about this later.” When Han Sen turned back to look at the stage, the fight had already started.
The rules of this fight stated no one was allowed any form of external support. The battle was to be fought mano a mano, with no weapons or armor or anything else. Humans couldn't use beast souls either, so Huang Xiao swung his fist.
When Huang Xiao swung, Han Sen was surprised. He had only just become a surpasser, but still, there was fierce weight and strength driving the fist. Huang Xiao's body glowed with gold like a buddha in the gleaming light that radiated from his raging fist.
”The Huang family's Golden Buddha may not be very well-known, but it cannot be any worse than Platinum Body. It increases your body's vitality as well as its simple power. He seems calm and composed using it. Perhaps it isn't surprising; when he first became a surpasser, no one could beat him while he used it,” Tang Zhenliu explained.
Pang!
Huang Xiao's fist hit Yu Qielan. The royal shura did not dodge, but accepted the hit instead.
Everyone looked at them with wide eyes, keen to learn the result of the hit. Most people from the Alliance believed Huang Xiao had the edge over his enemy.
After all, Huang Xiao's fitness level was over three hundred. This far exceeded Yu Qielan's estimated fitness of two hundred and sixty. By all rights, Huang Xiao should have had a clear advantage over his foe.
The result, however, was a little shocking. Yu Qielan somehow evened out the attack, and no damage was delivered to either combatant. In quick retaliation, they both swung their fists.
No one expected the fight to be so tense, so shortly after beginning. Yu Qielan and Huang Xiao stood on the spot, their fists flying towards each other in a flurry. The sounds of whipped wind and clubbed bones emanated harshly between the fighters.
”This is bad. It looks like our intel may have been incorrect. It would seem Yu Qielan's fitness is far higher than what we originally believed it to be. He can compete against Huang Xiao without being at a disadvantage. His fitness must be over three hundred for sure. There is no way he can be suppressed or dominated as we initially expected him to be.” Tang Zhenliu frowned.
Han Sen frowned, too. The vitality of a royal shura was naturally very high; Huang Xiao could only keep up because of his usage of Golden Buddha. Not even ordinary celestial beings were naturally that strong.
It seemed as if Yu Qielan hadn't learned any skills to strengthen his body, which was fortunate. But it was frightening to think his body's vitality was on par with Huang Xiao's, despite being all-natural.
Everyone watched the match intently, all in support of Huang Xiao. They earnestly hoped he would beat his foe.
”I really envy the body of a shura. If humans were like them, our power in the sanctuary would be unrivalled.” An old man spoke enviously as he watched a video stream of the fight.
”Teacher, do you believe Huang Xiao can win?” a middle-aged man asked the old man.
”It is difficult to determine.” The old man sighed.
The middle-aged man knew the old man very well, but he knew through his response that he actually did not believe in Huang Xiao's ability to triumph over the shura.
The middle-aged man proceeded to say, ”If there is not much difference between their fitness levels, he could still have a chance.”
”Do not forget; the talents of a shura rest solely in combat,” the old man slowly said.
