Chapter 394 A Serious Matter (Part One)


    At the sight, the crowd began to discuss.


    "Dick''s blow is so terrifying. He could strike Zen into the air using only the kill song. He is so much


    stronger than Zen. Zen will lose in this round."


    "I''m afraid the damage would be more than just losing the battle. The word ''kill'' is so unfathomable. It


    contains terrifying power within itself. And I had a bad feeling when I saw this word. It seems as though


    it might bounce Zen''s force back. That''s to say Zen will suffer the damage of his own attack as well as


    the blow from the word ''kill''. Whether he can still stand or not, remains to be seen."


    "Oh! I get it. Zen was hit by the innate superhuman strength from himself. I hope that he is unable to


    stand. Yes, he should not be able to stand. I bet all on him losing, and I lost my money in the previous


    rounds in which Zen fought and won. If he continues to win, I will lose all my money. I gambled on Dick


    being stronger. If Zen fails, I will recover my money and perhaps, even make a profit!"


    "Don''t worry. He won''t recover from this attack. Even if his body is made of steel and iron, he can''t


    withstand it."


    In fact, except for the disciples from Drizzle Peak and the people who wagered on Zen''s victory, almost


    all the other people hoped that Zen would lose. They prayed that Zen wouldn''t stand after the blow.


    Zen didn''t get up. But it was not because he couldn''t. He was thinking about how to deal with the


    current situation. Zen figured it would be best if he stayed down and used the time to find a solution to


    break Dick''s word trick.


    After careful consideration, Zen realized that it would be impossible for him to break Dick''s defense


    merely using his body.


    He had to rely on other methods.


    The five defense songs continuously spun around Dick. And there were two kill songs around him.


    Although Master Yu had instructed him to kill Zen, should he find the chance, Dick was reluctant to do


    so.


    A gentleman should observe moral standards. How could he take advantage of another''s perilous


    state?


    Zen must have suffered a significant bacsh from the blow. He was lying on the ground motionlessly.


    It was possible that he was unconscious. If so, that would be the best oue. The judge could


    announce that Zen had lost, thus ending this round.


    "He can''t stand..." Dick murmured as he gazed at Zen who was lying on the ground. He could exin


    to Master Yu that Zen had passed out, and that meant that Zen had lost. So he was justified in stopping


    his attack. But the moment Dick heaved a sigh of relief, Zen rolled over and jumped to his feet. Zen


    then took a moment to check if his body could still function well. A carefree smile lit up Zen''s face.


    Dick was surprised. He took a deep breath. It seemed that Zen hadn''t been affected.


    Dick knew that Zen''s physical body was tough. Zen had already shown this in the previous battles. Dick


    was the kind of person who would not take action until he had worked out a good strategy. He knew


    where Zen''s strengthy, but he didn''t expect that Zen''s physical body would be so strong.


    While it was true that Zen''s body far exceeded what a flesh body could do, it was not impossible to hurt


    him. Even his body was made of iron and steel, he should have been broken into two parts with the


    heavy blow. Only when his body reached the level of mysterious weapon or spiritual weapon could he


    withstand such an attack.


    This was the only exnation Dick coulde up with when he saw that Zen remained unhurt. He


    didn''t know that his assumption was close to reality. Zen''s body was indeed a spiritual weapon.


    Moreover, it was at the middle-grade level of a spiritual weapon.


    Zen stretched his arms and legs before ncing at Dick who stood not far from him. In the next instant,


    Zen rushed toward Dick.


    Zen knew what he was doing. Although it was true that he had hidden his real strength before, Zen


    understood that he could not hide it forever. Moreover, if someone really wanted to investigate, it would


    not take them much effort to discover the truth.


    Since it was impossible for him to defeat Dick with his physical strength, Zen knew that he would have


    to employ his life vitality.


    The moment Zen sprinted, streams of purple ck life vitality surged from his belly. The demonic life


    vitality rushed to his hands through his meridians. To everyone''s surprise, the demonic life vitality


    popped out from Zen''s hands and zed like purple ck mes. The life vitality burned vehemently,


    and what a frightening scene it was!


    Amidst the purple ck life vitality, there were glints of sparkling starlight. It seemed to contain the


    power of stars that were hidden in the sky. At this sight, the audience was terrified.

    "Oh? Zen employed his life vitality... How did I forget that Zen is a nature creature? Perhaps it''s


    because he hasn''t used his life vitality so far!"


    "Nonsense! I have said it before. Some people tend to hide their real strength duringpetitions. So


    why can''t Zen do the same?"


    "But Zen''s life vitality looks so formidable, putting a lot of strain on people. It seems to be unique. I


    really wonder what kind of cultivation method this is."


    All the people were surprised. From the beginning of thepetition, Zen had relied on his


    superhuman strength and his strong corporal body to defeat his opponents. They were not ustomed


    to seeing him use life vitality. Moreover, most of the spectators had wagered on Dick. If Zen won, they


    would lose all their money.
