Chapter 358: Fire Breathing Serpent (2/2)
With soul essence in his possession, Wang Tong thought that it would be a pity if he didn't master all forms of cultivation in the world. When the GN force was first discovered, everyone felt that they had found the ultimate source of power. However, by then, mastery seemed to have provided human an alternative method to achieve even greater power. The human race was such a fabulous race; driven by their curiosity and will to improve, they were able to continuously broaden the scope of their abilities, and inch towards immortality, slowly but surely.
That being said, the arcane knowledge of the Mastery was well hidden and fiercely guarded. Therefore, only during the tournaments could Wang Tong have a chance to peek into its true power.
Guan Dongyang glanced over the shoulder of Wang Tong and saw Michaux staring at the earthing boy attentively.
Guan Dongyang folded his hands again. As the Martian's lips moved softly, a layer of soul energy appeared and covered his body.
As the soul energy accumulated, everyone was astonished to see that Guan Dongyang didn't channel any GN force out of his body.
”Drake Fire!”
As the Martian shouted out the name of his technique, a dragon made of dancing flames spurred out in between his palm and flew towards Wang Tong. The sudden attack caught everyone off guard.
”Is this magic?”
”The dragon has to be an illusion; it must be useless.”
The fiery serpent hit the ground under Wang Tong's feet and caused a massive explosion. Amidst the dust and smoke, Wang Tong saw Guan Dongyang had moved to his side, and his firefly fist was already bearing down on him.
”Fist of the Fire Drake!”
The first punch hit squarely on Wang Tong's chest, and the Martian immediate followed with another punch, which landed on Wang Tong's belly.
Wang Tong stumbled back for a dozen feet and finally lost his balance as he fell to the ground.
Everyone's hearts were caught in their throats as they realized that the fire-breathing serpent was not an illusion. The crumbled floor where the blow landed was a testament to its existence.
”What kind of an attack was that?”
”It is not GN force. It is something much more powerful!”
Guan Dongyang about-turned to face Michaux as he pointed at Wang Tong on the ground and then at himself. Guan Dongyang wanted Michaux to know that the Hidden Path was no any less potent than the Divine Master, and eventually, he would defeat the young master like he did to Wang Tong.
Seeing the martian's incredible power, Li Ruoer furrowed her brows. What troubled her most was the martian's unique technique, as she doubted if anyone in the House of Li would be able to repeat it.
Under most circumstances, the soul energy was merely a medium to release GN force. However, not only could Li Ruoer not sense any GN force in the martian's attack, but she also felt something entirely different and new to her.
Michaux Odin studied the martian as if he had just solved a riddle. He was one of the very few in the arena who knew that they had just witnessed the Mastery cultivators' greatest contribution to the world.
Although Guan Dongyang was far from the strongest soul mastery cultivator that Michaux had ever seen, the young master conceded that his power was immense.
Wang Tong didn't disappoint the audience, as he quickly stood up from the dust and gathered himself.
By then, Wang Tong's clothes had already been reduced to pieces and strands. While he marveled at his opponent's power, he was also disappointed that he had once again failed to comprehend the Mastery's technique. But, he knew that he was close.
Without wasting any further time, Wang Tong started the attack. He conceded that he needed to force his opponents to unleash even more powerful attacks for him to learn the mysterious technique.
Wang Tong stormed at the Martian using the most popular move on Mars, the ”Martian Dash.”
Enraged by Wang Tong's audacity, Guan Dongyang charged up his soul energy until his right arm was engulfed in flame. Then, he hurled the flaming fist at Wang Tong as he shouted, ”You are courting death!”
Wang Tong did not waver at the counter-attack as he carried out his move with unswerving determination. As Wang Tong's soul energy reached four hundred and thirty, he finally unleashed his famous fist strike—the Layered Fist of Tong!
