Chapter 425 - Golden Fist (2/2)

One of the reasons he had ranked 18 previously, despite being a Meridian Tempering 3rd realm cultivator was the fact that he had many of these pills and talismans, and that nobody could really stop them.

While they weren't enough to trouble the Mind Tempering realm disciples, the Meridian Tempering realm disciples had a hard time standing up against it.

Combined with the fact that his defense was one of the best in the sect, he was a walking tank that could bulldoze his way through his opponents.

However, now that he had run into a mountain that he could not bulldoze his way through, he was starting to get scared.

”Die! Die! Die!” he shouted and threw in more and more talismans and pills. However, they all exploded before they even reached Alex.

Huo Tu sent a talisman towards Alex and at the same time sent a pill hidden behind it. Alex stopped the talisman with his Qi, but the pill used the opening in the Qi made by the explosion to pass through and reach Alex.

BOOM

A massive explosion rang out as the pill directly hit Alex in the face.

”Haha! How's that!” Huo Tu shouted out loud. The referee started moving in to check that Alex was okay. The elders and the disciples were a little surprised at the sudden turn of the battle.

They were about to start talking when suddenly, they saw a silhouette moving inside the smoke and dust.

”Congrats!” a voice came from inside the smoke. A figure appeared from inside and stood in the light. ”You managed to rip my new clothes a bit.”

”Wh-What?!” Huo Tu said in surprise. Alex was fine. Despite taking an explosion to the face, the most that had happened to him was his robe was a bit destroyed.

Alex dusted himself a little and wondered how well he could've survived the damage if it was not for the last moment's use of the Jade-skin technique.

”How are you okay?” Huo Tu asked, but Alex didn't answer.

Alex looked at the surroundings and once again saw the many people looking at him. ”Time to end this farce.”

He suddenly dashed towards Huo Tu. Huo Tu who wasn't expecting him to move so quickly tried his best to use the Jade-Skin technique and put on a layer of defense on his body, other than the armor.

BOOM

The sound of Alex's fist hitting the armor alone was enough to scare the surrounding people. Even though the Armor could stop a physical attack from anyone that wasn't Mind Tempering 7th realm or above, it was still unable to stop the momentum and Huo Tu was pushed back.

Luckily for him, the armor had stopped most of the momentum and he was sent back only a little bit. Still, that was a very scary experience for him.

”Hmm, I will have to put on a bit more damage behind my attacks huh?” Alex said and dashed forward once again. Huo Tu threw the talisman and pill in his hands, all of which directly landed on Alex.

However, that wasn't able to stop Alex. He flew past the explosion and landed another strong punch towards Huo Tu's face. Huo Tu managed to twist his body in time so that the armor was the thing that took the hit, not his body.

”Tsk,” Alex said and started relentlessly punching at Huo Tu. Huo Tu tried to block as much as he could, but from time to time, he would mess up and Alex would end up hitting his exposed body parts. Still, till the end, he managed to block all of the hits coming to his head.

”You are lucky. You will be the first to witness the technique I am working on,” Alex said. Suddenly, a golden aura sprang forth from his body, blinding the audience that was watching.

Suddenly, the light converged as it stuck around his right arm as if they were a metal glove for his hand. Alex had come up with this simple technique after he was able to freely control the metal Qi and energy whenever he wanted, so long as it did not have someone else controlling it already.

He had based his technique on what Pearl did with his golden paw, and also the Sword Qi that Du Yuhan used in the competition.

”I don't have a name for it yet, but here it is anyway,” Alex said and suddenly sprang forth towards Huo Tu.

Huo Tu's skins were as marbled as they could possibly get and he crossed his fists in front of his to block the attack.

Alex reached right next to Huo Tu and punched directly onto the arms. Huo Tu's arms broke upon contact and were immediately thrown outwards, however, they were barely able to stop Alex's momentum at all.

The first landed on his armor next and that was able to block most of the damage from Alex's fist. The little momentum that was remaining would send Huo Tu flying back, but not by much.

However, just then, the golden aura on his fist exploded out as it created an attack on its own and immediately struck both the armor and the man.

The little momentum that the armor was struggling with suddenly grew to an exponential amount and Huo Tu was sent flying away, out of the stage.

Alex stood up straight as he watch Huo Tu land almost 2 stages over and smiled. His new technique was acceptable.

Everyone was shocked at what had just happened. Nobody made a single sound and kept on looking at Alex at the stage.

”Elder?” Alex looked and the referee and reminded him.

”Ahem, You Win!” the referee shouted.

Alex walked up to the referee and took his badge before walking down the stage amidst the gazes of everyone there.
