Chapter 356: What Monster Is This?
Flaming Blade Presence*126
As the flaming blade presence merged into his body, relevant knowledge surged into w.a.n.g Teng’s mind. The streams of information collided and intertwined with each other, flas.h.i.+ng through his mind like sharp blades.
Then, he felt a qualitative change occur as a force more potent than blade presence was born.
Flaming blade conscious!
w.a.n.g Teng’s flaming blade conscious was completed!
If Zhao Yuanwu knew that his blade presence had lent a helping hand to the birth of w.a.n.g Teng’s blade conscious, he might die from anger.
Mao Na, who was standing beside w.a.n.g Teng, suddenly sensed something. She turned her head and looked at w.a.n.g Teng. However, she only saw his calm expression. There was nothing amiss with him. That feeling earlier seemed to be her illusion.
She felt puzzled in her heart, staring at w.a.n.g Teng’s face for a long time.
“Why are you looking at me? Am I too handsome?” w.a.n.g Teng asked.
“There’s a boogie in your eyes,” Mao Na said expressionlessly.
w.a.n.g Teng: …
Mao Na disregarded w.a.n.g Teng and walked away arrogantly.
w.a.n.g Teng shook his head and s.h.i.+fted his gaze back to the arena. He picked up the attribute bubbles Yu Tao had dropped.
Wood Force*50
Spirit*8
Enlightenment*14
The morning matches soon ended. Everyone went back to the hotel for lunch and waited for the afternoon matches to start.
In the afternoon, the compet.i.tion continued. The list of matches was shown on the screen.
w.a.n.g Teng versus Zhao Yuanwu!
The moment this match was revealed, many people were astounded. Surprise flashed across their faces.
w.a.n.g Teng met Zhao Yuanwu? There would be a good show to watch later.
Many schools and factions were keeping an eye on w.a.n.g Teng.
They felt that this was the furthest w.a.n.g Teng could go. Between him and Zhao Yuanwu, he would definitely lose.
They didn’t approve of Zhao Yuanwu’s actions, but his performance had been eye-catching all along. He might even be on par with Ji Xiuming and Ren Qingcang.
Also, no one knew if he had other hidden abilities or trump cards.
The expressions of the students in the Huanghai resting area changed slightly. They looked at w.a.n.g Teng and opened their mouths. In the end, all they could say was, “Try your best.”
“Don’t worry.” w.a.n.g Teng stood up with a gentle smile at the edge of his lips. He walked to the arena without showing any distress.
Lin Chuhan felt worried for him. “This is troublesome. w.a.n.g Teng actually encountered a ruthless fellow like Zhao Yuanwu.”
“I wonder if Little Brother w.a.n.g Teng can withstand him,” Tian Xiaoxiao said.
“I hope he won’t be stubborn. Zhao Yuanwu is a savage,” Xu Wantong shook her head and said.
None of the three ladies thought that w.a.n.g Teng would win this match. Based on Zhao Yuanwu’s past performance, they knew that he was a mighty contender for the champions.h.i.+p t.i.tle. Ordinary martial warriors weren’t his match at all.
…
The two young men stood in the arena.
Zhao Yuanwu looked at w.a.n.g Teng with contempt. “You still have time to admit defeat if you don’t want to get beaten like your seniors.”
“You seem very confident.” w.a.n.g Teng looked at him calmly.
Zhao Yuanwu frowned when he saw w.a.n.g Teng’s composed manner. He shook his head and said, “Why do I have to act personally every time? People like you refuse to be convinced until you’re faced with the grim reality.”
The judge beside them blew his whistle. “Start!”
w.a.n.g Teng and Zhao Yuanwu exchanged glances with each other. Then, they disappeared simultaneously.
Boom!
They cut across the sky like a pair of scissors cutting white silk before colliding together. The lingering shadows of fists and blades intertwined in the air and dazzled the spectators.
The audience could only see faint shadows colliding and separating continuously in the arena, creating a thunderous echo.
“They’re so powerful!” The audience widened their eyes in surprise.
This match was on a completely different level compared to the matches before.
“w.a.n.g Teng is on par with Zhao Yuanwu!”
They were flabbergasted, especially with the strength w.a.n.g Teng had displayed. He was a worthy rival of Zhao Yuanwu. He wasn’t at any disadvantage at all.
This was totally unexpected!
General Bai’s live steam room experienced a few seconds of silence before comments erupted like a volcano.
“Oh my G.o.d, what did I just see? w.a.n.g Teng is so powerful!”
“w.a.n.g Teng never used his full strength before. He only showed it when he met Zhao Yuanwu.”
“Exhilarating! Impressive!”
“Amazing!”
…
Most people here were attracted by w.a.n.g Teng’s brick because they found it interesting. But now, the stark contrast between his serious and interesting fighting styles enchanted them even more. From the initial interest, they had turned into his fans.
On the second floor of the audience stand, Peng Yuanshan smiled.
“Good riddance!”
The other heads looked at each other with excitement in their eyes. Their understanding of w.a.n.g Teng’s ability was refreshed time and again.
This felt invigorating for some reason!
Yan Kang, the president of the martial arts academy of Jinlin University, was dumbstruck. He completely lost his cool. How was this possible?
Was w.a.n.g Teng really a freshman? How could he be so strong?
How did Huanghai groom him?
Yan Kang felt frustrated in his heart. He should have fought harder to get w.a.n.g Teng into their school. Well, it was hard not to regret now.
w.a.n.g Teng used his bare fists to destroy all the flaming blade attacks Zhao Yuanwu threw at him.
The Eight Level Devil Scripture trained the physical body, making it indomitable. Even if w.a.n.g Teng did not have any weapons, Zhao Yuanwu wouldn’t be able to hurt him.
Despite looking like a normal human with an average body, he seemed tall and towering at this moment.
He was like an ape that had gone berserk. He strode forward, suppressing Zhao Yuanwu’s raging attacks.
Everyone felt their blood boiling with excitement as they watched this scene.
Zhao Yuanwu was infuriated. He had never received such treatment ever since the start of the compet.i.tion. He was always the one who gave other people a thras.h.i.+ng. Yet, he was the one getting trashed now.
By someone whom he had never taken to heart to boot.
“Move!” There was no way he could stomach this humiliation. Zhao Yuanwu bellowed in rage, and a ferocious blade presence erupted from his body. He waved his blade and swung it at w.a.n.g Teng.
The terrifying flaming blade presence swept through the arena. Roaring flames attempted to swallow w.a.n.g Teng and burn him to ashes.
I was waiting for this move. A sinister smile appeared at the corner of w.a.n.g Teng’s lips. At the same time, a battle blade appeared in his hand, and he swung it down.
An equally formidable flaming blade presence exploded from the blade. It collided with Zhao Yuanwu’s blade presence like a tsunami.
Boom!
The flames burst and soared into the sky.
Two gigantic blade glows started corroding one another. In the end, w.a.n.g Teng’s blade glow won and chopped Zhao Yuanwu’s blade aura into two.
“How is this possible?”
Zhao Yuanwu widened his eyes in disbelief. In his stupor, he couldn’t dodge in time and got hit by the blade attack. At that moment, he felt as if he was struck by lightning. He flew back abruptly and vomited a mouth of blood in mid-air.
“Zhao Yuanwu… was defeated!”
The audience found this incredible.
“w.a.n.g Teng’s blade presence is close to blade conscious!” Some people saw through his attack, and the conclusion left them thunderstruck.
Blade conscious was much more powerful than blade presence. It was harder to understand too.
Yet, w.a.n.g Teng was close to enlightening his blade conscious.
How old was he!
What kind of a monster was he?
w.a.n.g Teng had merely revealed a fraction of his ability, but it was enough to make everyone’s jaws drop to the floor. They found it unbelievable.
He was only a freshman, but he was a worthy opponent of a talent like Zhao Yuanwu. He even won against him, displaying incredible talent.
Everyone was mind blown!
