Fists collided against each other in a hailstorm of strikes. Huang Xiao's fist gleamed like a golden hammer.
The shura battled without the flair, elemental, or even magical properties of skills humans employed through their use of hyper geno arts. The shura only practiced raw power, and Yu Qielan used the strength derived from his flesh, muscle, and bone to oppose Huang Xiao's golden lights. For him to break each strike as he was doing, it was a testament to how frighteningly powerful he truly was.
”It is lucky for us that Huang Xiao was the one chosen to compete with him. If that was me up there, the bones in my hands would have been worn down into dust by now!” Tang Zhenliu said.
”Don't say that; when you become a surpasser, you won't be any worse than Yu Qielan,” Lin Feng calmly responded.
”Can Huang Xiao win this fight?” Ji Yanran asked with much worry.
”Ordinarily, Golden Buddha's defense and durability boons provide its users near-unparalleled protection. If this continues, he may very well win. But...” Tang Zhenliu was about to say something, but then stopped mid-sentence. His brow furrowed.
”But what?” Han Sen asked.
”We cannot take stock in any proposed certainties. He is against a shura, after all.” Tang Zhenliu shook his head, as if he regretted having to admit this.
Lin Feng then said, ”I am afraid Huang Xiao may be at a disadvantage.”
Han Sen and Ji Yanran looked shocked upon hearing this, and so Han Sen asked, ”Why? Aren't they fairly balanced?”
Lin Feng was just about to explain, but as he opened his mouth, a sudden explosion came from the battlefield. The fighters had delivered two extremely powerful punches that, upon collision, sent them both reeling backwards.
Yu Qielan looked at Huang Xiao and said, ”Your fitness is impressive; perhaps the best young humans can provide. But I must regretfully confess to you that you are inferior to us.”
Huang Xiao coldly replied, ”I don't think so.”
”Really? Then I'll show you what the shura are capable of.” Yu Qielan's eyes flashed with a purple light. His body suddenly expanded and his muscles doubled in size. The fine and reserved body that once fought against Huang Xiao had been replaced with a hulking beast. The potential power look frighteningly high, as if he could walk about sundering any stone he pleased.
”Shura Change!” Huang Xiao's face went dim.
”Shura Change?!” Everyone else's faces changed at the same time, as well, as they exclaimed the same two words in unison.
The visiting shura looked cocky, satisfied with the reaction they had incited from the human crowd. They were proud of what Yu Qielan had accomplished.
”What is Shura Change?” Han Sen frowned, having never heard of this before. But seeing Yu Qielan transform, it sent his mind back to Zero. There were certain similarities he could not shake.
Tang Zhenliu now looked worried, and he explained, ”Shura Change is their form of hyper geno art. It is different than what humans do, however. They don't train and practice with the flow of energy; again, they exercise the raw nature of their bodies. When they use Shura Change, their powers greatly increase. I had believed him to have already used it. I didn't expect him to have been fighting naked previously. Now, I must regretfully confess, Huang Xiao is doomed.”
As they spoke, Yu Qielan stepped forward. He was much faster now, powered by his incredible muscles. He dashed towards Huang Xiao and threw his fist into his chest.
Pang!
Huang Xiao used his arm to block the hit, but his body was knocked back four meters as his feet left a deep cleft in the marble plaza they fought upon.
