In truth, all Crystal Sky Academy students were extremely wealthy.
He had three bright Spirit Cards, and all of them were Silver Grade Cards. Rank two light body arts [Aerial Wood Stake], rank three light body arts [Eight Steps Overtaking Cicada], rank three finger arts [Iron y Finger].
Two light body arts Spirit Cards, seemed like they quenched Tang Tian’s fire for spoils. He was currentlycking in light body arts Spirit Cards, and did not expect them to be served up to him by someone. Tang Tian felt that Yang Yong who was fainted on the floor, was extremely pleasing to look at.
[Iron y Finger] was a gold element finger technique which Tang Tian could not learn. But luckily, gold element finger techniques were popr, and Tang Tian could just exchange it for a Spirit Card he could utilise.
Such a good man!
Tang Tian heart and mind were filled with gratitude.
As he turned to look at Shen Yuan, his eyes immediately zed up, because Shen Yuan was brandishing an astonishing level of strength. But very quickly, he calmed himself down.
It was the first time Tang Tian saw Ah Mo Li being pressured by somebody.
Shen Yuan was worthy of being called ‘Iron Palm Shen’. Although his palm arts seemed ordinary and mediocre, every palm of his was firm and robust. Ah Mo Li was naturally gifted, with his humongous wooden de being exceptionally heavy, while using his True Power to move, he seemed like he had immerse strength. Tang Tian admitted he was not their equal. Yet even with the strength of Mt. Tai in every de movement, they were all firmly blocked by the pair of ck iron palms.
Shen Yuan’s True Power was spread through his entire body, with his feet looking as if they were moving in slow motion, but actually weighing thirty thousand cattles, with every step leaving a clear deep footprint in the ground. He moved closer towards Ah Mo Li one step at a time, with both of his jet ck palms releasing a gloomy sound.
So powerful!
Tang Tian watched them nkly. Shen Yuan actually gave him a feeling that he was unable to block him at all. Ah Mo Li’s de movements began to be somewhat chaotic, while Shen Yuan’s iron palms were in and simple, yet possessed surprising might, with every palm released covering a range of 10 feet.
Shen Yuan ignored Ah Mo Li’s changes in de movements, one palm after another, Ah Mo Li’s de power was slowly unable to block his palm power.
Tang Tian saw through him, Shen Yuan’s iron palms attainments were indeed astonishing, but the real reason that Ah Mo Li was being pressured to where he was, was actually because of Shen Yuan’s vigorous and exceptional True Power.
Tang Tian, who had justpleted cultivating the Crane Body, had his pride crushed watching the scene unfold.
If Shen Yuan was not training a unique mental cultivation technique, it meant that he was at the fourth level of True Power!
Ah Mo Li’s True Power was simrly not weak at the third level. For his age, it was not an easy feat. Tang Tian’s True Power was even weaker, as he just entered the early stage third level of True Power. Although he cultivated the Crane Body, and his True Power would momentarily release a burst of formidable power, allowing him to release strength equivalent to someone at the middle stage third level of True Power. However, apart from that, whenpared to a middle stage third level of True Power, he was still inferior.
Ate stage third level Ah Mo Li, was totally pressed down by Shen Yuan. His own miserable amount of True Power, would only be swept aside by the wind aroused from Shen Yuan’s palms.
Crystal Sky Academy was definitely hiding talented individuals. (TN: crouching tiger, hidden dragons)
Shen Yuan was not arrogant about himself, but his True Power was already at a frightening level.
Once Tang Tian saw that Ah Mo Li’s de movements were in a disorder, he became anxious. If Ah Mo Li was defeated, his just gotten spoils of war would be taken back, and Shen Yuan would not let them off.
Clenching his teeth, Tang Tian furiously stomped his foot, and propelled his entire body forward like a cheetah.
sh Fist!
Shen Yuan saw Tang Tian rushing towards him, his heart trembled. But as Tang Tian released his sh Fist towards him, he could not help but smirk.
A rank two martial art, in his eyes, was simply useless.
With just this amount of talent, they were challenging Crystal Sky?
After today, you both will know, your thoughts and wishes are jokes!
Shen Yuan’s eyes fuelled with anger, and his entire body released all his True Power. All his hair stood, and his palm motions became even heavier, and at the same time the air around him became viscous.
Tang Tian was like a small housefly which had fallen into a swamp, where even the wings cannot move. His sh Fist did not even go near Shen Yuan, and his entire body was flung away in an awkward position by the gusts formed from the two iron palms.
The sh Fist was broken before it even managed to attack.
In a blink of an eye, both of them were in imminent danger.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Ah Mo Li persistently blocked the power of Shen Yuan’s Iron Palms, which seemed to be everywhere. No matter how much he changed his de movements, it was useless. The powerful [Groundbreaking Chop] that he thought was powerful and fierce, was utterly useless in the fight.
In the eyes of the experts of Crystal Sky, Shen Yuan was nothing much, where he remained low profile. But Ah Mo Li could never imagine that, Shen Yuan’s power was actually so formidable to this extent!
As he saw Fundamental Tang joining in the battle, Ah Mo Li bit his lips painfully.
Just with Fundamental Tang’s power to enter the battle, it was practically the same as courting death.
Bastard!
Ah Mo Li did not know why, his heart and mind bore an anger, yes, wrath! The anger at himself for actually being so weak, the anger that his power was actually so weak and low, angry at himself for being scared!
His anger erupted likeva flowing out of a volcano, and his body started trembling
Simrly, there was a sound resounding in his mind.
Such a disgrace!
Ah Mo Li!
You are a determined man who is going to create his own Martial Dao!
How can you be so useless! How dare you be a coward?
How can you!
What about your dreams? What about the oath you swore?
You don’t even have to courage to struggle, Ah Mo Li, you’re such a coward!
You are just a coward....
“....You fall short whenparing with his ferociousness...”
Old Fart Wei’s words, suddenly appeared in Ah Mo Li.
His gaze subconsciouslynded on Fundamental Tang.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Tang Tian who was at the side, suffered a huge hit, but once he entered the battle circle, he threw all the distracting thoughts to the back of his head. He opened up his ring eyes widely and continuously moved his fists.
sh Fist!
The astonishing frequency of his sh Fists made them all disappear in the air, and then suddenly appear from nowhere.
To personally enter the battle circle, Tang Tian experienced a totally different feeling of Shen Yuan’s Iron Palms. It looked like Shen Yuan casually released his palms horizontally, but the whistling sound from the wind of the palm, was like being suffocated in a wind wall, the feeling of being totally crushed!
There was absolutely no chance of dodging.
Peng Peng Peng!
Tang Tian’s sh Fists were like rain hitting against a wall of wind, releasing apressed sonic boom, and the space in front of him starting forming translucent distorted ripples.
Hong!
The wall of wind was broken, countless des of air flew out like broken sses, scattering in all directions. Chi Chi Chi, Tang Tian’s clothes were all cut, and fresh blood flew out from the small wounds.
Tang Tian was unable to take a short break, as Shen Yuan released yet another palm.
And another sh Fist!
A hint of astonishment shed through Shen Yuan’s eyes. Tang Tian’s level of sh Fist, led him to believe it was just a fluke. Up till now, Tang Tian had not missed a single sh Fist, which means to say, Tang Tian’s sh Fist sess rate was at a hundred percent.
This was in theory the highest level, but it had never been seen before, as of now, Star Wind City’s highest record was Wang Zhen with a sess rate of eighty three percent.
Tang Tian who was in front of him, was actually able to hit a hundred percent of his sh Fists.
He had actually underestimated him
But the astonishment in Shen Yuan’s eyes disappeared in a blink. Geniuses were not a rare sight in Crystal Sky Academy. He had seen all sorts and kinds of geniuses already. The sh Fist Technique was merely a rank two martial art, it may attract a few freshmen students, but for senior students, only a rank three martial art had meaning, and a rank four martial art was considered high end.
A perfect sess rate sh Fist, against the Iron Palm, was weak and frail. Shen Yuan usually kept a low profile amongst the geniuses in Crystal Sky, as to not reveal his own powers. His strength, was always underestimated, but he did not care. If not for people begging for him, he would not have shown himself.
If not for him taking care of both Tang Tian and Ah Mo Li, Tang Tian would not even have the chance to fight. Yet even with him taking care of both of them, he did not think that Tang Tian would have the ability to be a threat. Continuous barrages of sh Fist ced high stress and on the body with a high consumption of energy.
Let’s see, how long can youst?
Shen Yuan eyes were cold, and he released yet another palm.
Tang Tian did not relent, and ignored his body energy, barraging down with his sh Fists. But with every step he took, he had to give up a lot. Every broken wall of wind, he would increase the number of wounds on his body.
Other than his back, the rest of his body was filled with wounds. Sweat and fresh blood drenched his clothes.
Tang Tian was beyond numb, and his eyes deadly staring at Shen Yuan, putting in all to use his strength and slowly advancing.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
“....You fall short whenparing with his ferociousness...”
Ah Mo Li looked at the back of Tang Tian, soaked in sweat. His body was covered in blood, yet he stubbornly walked forward. Since Tang Tian jumped into the battle circle, he had not retreated once. He was having difficulties as he walked forward, it was surprising that he overtook me!
Fundamental Tang...
The rage in Ah Mo Li’s chest fuelled, and in his head shed a scene of a youngd raising his arms and shouted.
“Wow, youngd, go for it!”
The roar of the youngd seemed to resound in his heart.
Fundamental Tang...
Not knowing why, Ah Mo Li gazed became slightly peaceful and a bit more steady. Both his left and right hand extended to grip around the wooden de’s hilt.
He lifted the weapon near to his waist, wrapped both hands around the de’s hilt and the de rose.
With a stature like a beast, it was as if he were an ancient diator, full of grace and power that was indescribable.
With a solemn expression and a resolute gaze, he carried a power that could send chills down the spine, as the power was spreading from Ah Mo Li’s direction, as though like he had summoned the wind.
Eh?
The first person to sense something was wrong, was Shen Yuan. Right now, the power Ah Mo Li was emitting had an extra aura to it, one that could cause people’s heart to palpitate.
This was....
Tang Tian did not notice Ah Mo Li’s change, the only thing he saw and felt, was Shen Yuan being distracted, and instantly, he increased his sh Fist’s speed, the wall of winds continuously breaking, more blood spraying out. Tang Tian opened his eyes widely, like an agile wild beast, quietly moving forward.
Ah Mo Li’s True Power around his body surged, and an unknown strength start to emit from below his feet.
In a moment, the surging energy reached its peak, and Ah Mo Li’s deep growl brought about a fearsome power, pulsing everywhere.
He raised the humongous wooden de up above him, like a heavy axe, chopping downwards loudly.
A deep and unfathomable jet ck fissure swarmed out like lightning snakes, toward Shen Yuan.
The walls of wind in front of Shen Yuan were all broken like pieces of paper, by the sharp de.
Groundbreaking Chop Killing Technique: [Fine Abyss Chop]!
Shen Yuan’s expression changed drastically. In a moment of panic, he pushed his True Power to the limit, posed a horse stance slightly, and pressed both his palms together, he then started pushing them out slowly. It was as if he were pushing an extremely heavy metal door, and he had to use every single muscle in his body to the extent that his clothes were about to burst.
They could see the walls of wind crashing down like metal doors.
Iron Palms Killing Technique: [Crushing Iron Door]!
Killing Technique against Killing Technique!
Tang Tian’s cheek was cut by an unknown force, a strand of blood slowly trickled down. Tang Tian did not feel anything, his eyes squinting, suddenly releasing a murderous intent in a moment.
Chance!
