Chapter 1076 - Jade Crystal Qilin
Even though Tang Wulin was trying his best to conceal his abilities time and time again, it was impossible for the people who were close to him to not recognize his cultivation base, leaving aside the fact that the person was his teacher.
‘Senior! Please let me take a look at your Body Sect’s Innate Secret Technique. How powerful can it actually be? It’s time for me to carefully observe now.’
At present, on the screen before Tang Wulin the senior disciple brother who created the shocking movement in the scene just now had already moved. The body covered by bright red skin was charging forward with great strides accompanied by tyrannical energy. Every step he took was akin to a war hammer that was knocking against the competition stage and producing violent booming sound.
Tang Wulin’s senior brother disciple was named A Ruheng. It was as if his pair of eyes shimmering with golden radiance were shooting out countless murderous gleams. His aura was so powerful that the thick blood essence had condensed into the form of a huge human that was tens of meters tall behind his back.
Other than himself, it was Tang Wulin’s first time witnessing someone with blood essence power that was powerful to this extent. This person deserved the reputation of being the only person capable of successfully cultivating Body Sect’s Innate Secret Technique in the last few centuries! It could be said that the Body Sect had invested all of its resources that it had accumulated over centuries in order to succeed A Ruheng’s cultivation and this time, the Body Sect was going to spring him into fame through this competition.
The Body Sect was one of the most prestigious sects in ancient times. It was a sect capable of standing against the Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect. But with the development of soul technology that came afterward, along with the difficult cultivation of Body Secret Technique, the Body Sect gradually began to decline. Some secret techniques were already lost.
A person like A Ruheng capable of successfully cultivating Innate Secret Technique had finally come out from this generation, so Body Sect had considered its effort as betting all it had in a single row. It completely supported this man into forming adequate influence on the continent in order to develop the Body Sect even better.
The number of soul masters possessing body martial soul was small. If Body Sect could not absorb any more disciples, then its future would only grow tougher and it was even possible that the sect could walk down the path of extinction.
On the screen, the opponent standing opposite A Ruheng at present was undergoing some ghastly changes as well. The person’s eyes turned jade green in color while two purple and six black soul rings arose from underneath his feet and rapidly covered his entire body. At the same time, a layer of green scales covered his exposed skin. His body swelled up to three meters tall and a layer of green air spun around his body.
A Ruheng could really be described as the Body Sect’s trump card. He was already powerful enough and was crowned the title of ‘Strength King’ in this year’s competition. On the other hand, the opponent standing opposite him was nicknamed the ‘Jade King’. His martial soul was the Jade Crystal Qilin. Even though Ruheng was not ranked first in betting odds amongst all the contestants, his odds were just below Tang Wulin and ranked fourth. The person ranked first was precisely the Jade King standing opposite A Ruheng!
The martial soul of Jade was a Variant Martial Soul. Moreover, it was a variant with an ancient bloodline. In the ancient times, the soul beast Qilin was a creature rarer than the giant dragon, but its ability was on par with the Dragon King. This person’s awakened martial soul was one of Qilin’s variant bloodlines so the strength of his martial soul was ranked first in this year’s competition.
At the same time, he had also displayed his exceedingly powerful fighting ability that triumphed over all the contestants by being ranked first in his betting odds!
Jade King versus Strength King in the semifinals was undoubtedly a hard battle of a pin versus an awn.
The Strength King A Ruheng charged towards Jade King with great strides. While Jade King had only taken one step forward, a jade green soul ring spread out with speed from underneath him. The soul ring dissipated rapidly and covered half of the arena in the blink of an eye. Of course, Strength King was covered in the soul ring as well.
It was a domain!
Tang Wulin could tell that this was a domain at first glance! Moreover, it was an innate domain similar to his Golden Dragon Rage Domain. In other words, the domain belonged to one’s martial soul but it was not a soul skill. ‘This Jade King had already comprehended the domain, huh?’ Under such circumstances, how could Tang Wulin’s senior disciple brother defeat the opponent?
As expected, A Ruheng seemed to have lost his sense of direction as soon as he charged into the domain. He charged out from the side.
The Jade Illusion Domain was domain similar to spiritual control so it was capable of exercising strong control over the opponent and confusing the enemy to a large extent.
After A Ruheng charged into his domain, the Jade King swayed his body and split into three silhouettes that charged toward A Ruheng from three separate directions.
A Ruheng swung his fist and punched against the air at present. It exploded into a violent airblast. The area within tens of meters in diameter was misted over by a gush of gold-red radiance followed by a deafening noise.
The punch naturally missed its target while the Strength King had a confused look on his face. Meanwhile, Jade King’s three silhouettes simultaneously appeared in three directions surrounding the Strength King’s body and slapped as lightly as a feather toward A Ruheng.
As soon as the slap made contact one could see that the Jade King’s palm turned into crystal clear jade color as if his palm itself was a green jade. The palm pressed close to the opponent, softly and soundlessly.
“Poof! poof! poof!” Three soft thuds were heard as three jade green palms simultaneously pressed onto A Ruheng’s body.
A Ruheng’s entire body shook. The spots on his body that were hit turned jade green rapidly and spread toward his entire body.
Jade King’s sixth soul ring was shimmering on his body at present. It was very apparent that the slap which appeared as light as a feather was not as simple as it seemed.
‘Was that the crystallization process? What a terrifying attack!’
Tang Wulin found himself gasping with astonishment. This was obviously an attack that combined one’s martial soul and bloodline in such a way that it was capable of changing the opponent’s physical quality. One’s body that was crystalized did not belong to oneself anymore. Of course, the Strength King was immediately killed.
Yet, A Ruheng was not in a flurry as Tang Wulin had imagined. His huge body seemed to have frozen in a split second.
Soon after that, an aberrant voice came from A Ruheng. “Lub dub, lub dub, lub dub!”
This was obviously the sound of one’s strong heartbeat. Even Tang Wulin who was clearly only watching the recording could feel that his heart was racing along with A Ruheng’s heartbeat.
‘What was that?’
On the other hand, Tang Wulin witnessed a scene that made him extremely shocked at this moment. On the competition stage, Jade King’s body stiffened for a moment in an ambiguous manner. While in the distance the audiences on the viewing platform loudly screamed in agony. Puffs of blood mist spurted out from the viewing platform as a large number of audiences collapsed in succession, akin to harvested wheat.
‘Oh my god! What was that!’
A Ruheng’s body that was originally crystalized suddenly burst forth with thousands of streams of gold-red radiance. He abruptly turned his head around and looked towards Jade King. A golden light shot out violently from his eyes and shone straight onto Jade King’s head.
Jade King’s body staggered backward as his Jade Illusion Domain disintegrated at once. On the other hand, A Ruheng’s fist had already appeared right before Jade King.
Though Jade King’s three bodies were there just now, for some reason two of the silhouettes quickly faded when the Jade King was accompanied by the strong heartbeat. A Ruheng was attacking the Jade King’s original body.
Jade King raised his hands with great effort as his seventh soul ring was about to be illuminated. On the other hand, it was also this very moment when all the jade green radiance emitted from A Ruheng’s body vanished. His right foot stamped against the ground abruptly and the Jade King’s body was ignited with gold-red flames with a loud booming sound.
A magnificent-looking golden soul ring appeared underneath A Ruheng’s feet. The ring’s coverage was not large covering only ten meters in diameter but it was enough to enshroud Jade King.
At present, Jade King could only raise his hands with great effort to block A Ruheng’s punch which had already arrived before his chest. The illusionary image of a Qilin appeared behind his back but it was shattered right after.
“Boom…”
