243 Da Zhuangs Power (1/2)
”Third Sister, you underestimate Da Zhuang,” said Zhou Donghuang while shaking his head.
”What? Are you saying that, although Da Zhuang has only just broken through to the Dharma stage, he is already more powerful than me? Little Brother, Da Zhuang is not like you!” He Mengxi did not believe him.
”Da Zhuang, why don't you spar with Third Sister,” said Zhou Donghuang as he looked at Da Zhuang with a smile.
Da Zhuang quickly shook his head when he heard Zhou Donghuang's suggestion. ”No way. How can I do anything bad to Sister?”
”Da Zhuang, it's just a friendly challenge.” Zhou Donghuang's confidence made He Mengxi doubt herself. She looked at Da Zhuang and said, ”Since Little Brother has so much faith in you, I also want to see how powerful you are. If you manage to defeat me, I will be happy for you.” He Mengxi looked at Da Zhuang with motherly eyes.
He Mengxi's words made Da Zhuang light up. He smiled and shook his head, replying, ”Sister, I am no match for you.”
Whoosh! He Mengxi took to the skies and floated in mid-air, looking down at Da Zhuang. ”Come on, Da Zhuang.”
”Go ahead.” Seeing Da Zhuang glance at him, Zhou Donghuang smiled calmly and said, ”Don't hold back! Otherwise, Third Sister won't be happy.”
”That's right! Da Zhuang, if you hold back while sparring with me, I will be very unhappy with you,” He Mengxi added. She was also curious to know the source of Zhou Donghaung's confidence in Da Zhuang.
He Jin had not muttered a word since the beginning. He just watched quietly as Da Zhuang also took to the skies and came face-to-face with his daughter. In his opinion, Da Zhuang, who had only just attained the Dharma stage, was surely no match for her. On the other hand, Zhou Donghuang's confidence made him doubt himself. Although he had not had many interactions with Zhou Donghuang, the lad had sprung countless surprises on them in this short time. First, he had tricked the Summer Valley people with his fake goods. Then, not long after attaining Dharma, he'd managed to defeat the arrogant Summer Valley disciple, Lian Can, who was the son of the Summer Valley's chief, Lian Kun.
Now, Zhou Donghuang had produced an ancient elixir that had allowed Da Zhuang to attain Dharma within one short month. The two incidents, Zhou Donghuang easily defeating Lian Can within a short time of achieving Dharma and helping Da Zhuang reach Dharma, were extremely shocking for He Jin. These were feats he considered next to impossible!
”Da Zhuang has been practicing the 'Fiery Thunder Training Regimen.' If this wasn't an accident, he should have a lightning fire Dharma. As the thought crossed Zhou Donghuang's mind, Da Zhuang took to the skies. He came face to face with He Mengxi, who was waiting to begin. Inner Yuan radiated from his body.
”Da Zhuang, go all out. Let me see how powerful you are now that you've attained Dharma.” With that, He Mengxi's giant sword Dharma swooped beneath her feet and lifted her up into the air, carrying her toward Da Zhuang.
”Yes, Sister.” Da Zhuang agreed as his Dharma also appeared. It was a blazing flame ten meters tall. In the middle of the flame flashed a streak of white lightning. As the fire burned, it made an extremely sharp crackling sound.
”What Dharma is this?” He Mengxi was taken aback. From her understanding of the technique that Da Zhuang was practicing, after Da Zhuang had attained Dharma, he should have produced a knife-shaped Dharma. However, the Dharma that Da Zhuang had just created took her by surprise.
It was not only He Mengxi who was surprised, but Chief He Jin was also shocked. He was knew what training technique Da Zhuang was using. Unless he'd changed techniques, he should have produced a knife Dharma. ”Could Da Zhuang have changed his technique?” He Jin looked at the young man in white, who was not far from him, and saw that he did not seem surprised at all to see the Dharma that Da Zhuang had just produced. It was as if he had expected Da Zhuang to create a Dharma that looked like fiery thunder.
”Da Zhuang, I'll make my move.” Although surprised at Da Zhuang's Dharma, He Mengxi did not overthink it. She called out to Da Zhuang, then drove the massive sword Dharma beneath her feet toward Da Zhuang, attacking him.
Whoosh!! The giant sword Dharma pierced the air. It made a shrill whooshing sound as it split the sky. Waves of icy cold wind were released from either side of the giant sword Dharma. Its cold wind washed over Zhou Donghuang and He Jin below, making their robes flap noisily.
Faced with the onslaught of the giant sword Dharma, Da Zhuang's eyes flashed with terror. After all, this was his first time challenging a Dharma adept in battle. Furthermore, he was going against an adept using a fierce offensive Dharma such as the giant sword. With just a single strike, the sword Dharma could easily pierce the wind and destroy anything in its path!
Zhou Donghuang could see the fear and anxiety in Da Zhuang's eyes, so he reminded him, ”Da Zhuang, don't forget that you are a Dharma adept too.” He could understand Da Zhuang's feelings. In the past, when he had just attained Dharma, he had also had the same reaction during his first battle against a Dharma adept.
Hearing Zhou Donghuang's reminder, Da Zhuang's expression changed, and his body wrapped around the flame like a python around its prey. In the next instant, the fire exploded. Da Zhuang and his fiery thunder Dharma faced the onslaught of He Mengxi and her sword Dharma head on.
