222 Kong Dao the Lone Wolf (1/2)
Kong Dao was born in the Sea of Beasts. Being able to grow up in an environment where dangers were unpredictable and where there weren't many people around meant that he had unique talents allowing him to survive. If not, he would never have been taken in as Duan Muque's disciple.
Needless to say, his experience living alone on Mars also showed how extraordinary he was.
Even though the Federation seedlings had spent several days together, his sense of belonging towards them wasn't strong. Furthermore, on the first and second day in the fight for the Body Strengthening Freedom Pill, he was defeated due to Wang Baole's Numinous Treasures. However, he had chosen to give up the fight then due to the regulations and certain inhibitions. If he were really to battle Wang Baole head-on, he was confident that he would win.
As he charged forward, he showcased his astonishing force. All the pent up unhappiness instantly evaporated, as if an attractive bright sun has risen in the enclosed army camp!
As he growled with a low voice that spread like thunder in all directions, his speed was boosted to the maximum, exceeding that of his counterparts. It appeared as if he had been transformed into a flash of lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived before Wang Baole!
His right fist was clenched, and he punched straight ahead!
The moment the punch was executed, his body contorted into the shape of a bow, with his fist acting as the outlet for all the accumulated force that was emerging from all over his body. A hurricane-like vortex was immediately produced, and with the power that was capable of forcefully tearing apart everything in its path, it charged towards Wang Baole.
Wang Baole turned his head suddenly, his eyes revealing a flash. Kong Dao's move and sudden attack didn't make him retreat, but instead aroused his interest, which was apparent in his eyes
”Interesting!” Wang Baole laughed without trying to avoid the impact. He then kicked forward.
A loud boom was produced, reverberating as the duo collided with each other, hand to foot.
The ground shook, and cracks appeared. As the sound of impact reverberated, Kong Dao sneered as he retreated. Wang Baole also turned his body but didn't step back. There were more cracks under his feet, but he didn't stop. When his right foot landed, he rode on the momentum and stepped forcefully, causing the ground beneath his feet to crack open. Wang Baole then rose into the air, attacking first and charging towards Kong Dao!
Immediately, the duo made contact, exchanging punches and kicks. An impressive battle depending purely on physical strength was playing out in the army camp's Public Square, and loud bangs sounded out continuously.
The scene of battle, coupled with the sounds of impact ringing by their ears, shocked every onlooker!
”The two of them… They're freaks!”
”They have such a high level of physical strength… They can very well go head-on against a ferocious beast!”
”I finally understand why only the both of them were automatically selected…”
The surrounding crowd was filled with surprise. There were some amongst them who had either not attacked, or had attacked but were clearly not as skilled in physical abilities. There were also some who specialized in the use of spells. They were shocked, but even more amazed at what they were watching.
With the crowd looking on, the battle between Wang Baole and Kong Dao continued. Kong Dao's eyes revealed a look of viciousness, and as he attacked, a desire for blood could be sensed from his body. He seemed to have been transformed into a wild beast, disregarding his injuries as he roared with a deep voice. Even after being punched forcefully in the stomach by Wang Baole, he still raised his head immediately, kicking Wang Baole in return.
Such a battle tactic where one disregards their own survival initially felt foreign to Wang Baole. However, he was someone with a temper, and seeing that Kong Dao was acting like a lunatic, he stared with his eyes wide.
”You're trying to battle me till death?” As Wang Baole spoke, he stepped forward, and the force from his physical body completely erupted at that moment. A strong force emerged from his body, and his right hand grabbed Kong Dao's right hand with the speed of lightning as he activated his gripping skill and twisted Kong Dao's fingers.
If it were someone else, they would definitely lose their voices from screaming in pain if the joints of their fingers were twisted in that manner. However, Kong Dao looked completely unaffected, twisting his hand in another direction and breaking his wrist off with a crack. He approached Wang Baole and punched him again!
A loud boom was produced, and Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. He clenched his left fist with the speed of light and punched forward, causing a Supernova to be produced, one that surged right towards the fast-approaching Kong Dao!
It was unbelievably loud, and as the Supernova was produced, Kong Dao's body was contorted into an astonishing angle as he twisted forcefully, his left hand flailing as the nails on his hand began to grow into scary blade-like structures that slashed Wang Baole!
All of that bewildered everyone. From the moment the attacks were first exchanged till then, the duo had been moving extremely quickly. As a loud sound of impact emerged, fresh blood spewed from Kong Dao mouth as he immediately retreated hundreds of feet away. He was unable to withstand the impact and landed on the ground with a half squat, supporting his body with one of his hands. He raised his head, fresh blood flowing from the corner of his mouth while his hair covered his eyes. Even so, the viciousness in his eyes was still obvious.
Wang Baole had grown furious from the attacks. When Kong Dao tried to grab hold of him previously, he was surprised but had managed to avoid it. However, at that moment, his chest had been slashed by Kong Dao, and his clothes were torn, revealing five scratches teeming with blood.
It slightly diminished Wang Baole's arrogance, which had previously resulted from the physical transformation and strength boost that he had received. It was obvious to him that even though Kong Dao was not as physically strong as him, he was almost as powerful!
