Chapter 218, One Move?

Translator: Tamon

 

“War Thunder Body?” Wang Qi’s eyes shone. “Is that what you’re training?”

 

War Thunder Body, Thunder Lord Franklin’s innovation. One had to first draw in natural lightning from the sky through a kite before practicing it. Using a kite to draw lightning was just as crazy in this world as it was in the previous one. Nevertheless, the riskier arts were always stronger than the norm. War Thunder Body was ranked among the very top in immortal cultivation.

 

Seeing Wang Qi flinch and his breath hike had Fa Xiong startled. “Is there a problem with my practice?”

 

Wang Qi beamed, “None whatsoever, just a brief moment of inspiration in a body of magical art.”

 

And he walked over to Fa Xiong.

 

Tap, tap…

 

Wang Qi’s odd reaction had Fa Xiong stumped. [This guy’s taking the Myriad Arts Sect’s kill path, right? What is he playing at?]

 

Mao Zimiao tensed. “What is Little Qi doing?”

 

Wu Shiqin was onto something. “Relax, his magical art is… peculiar?”

 

On the other side, Bernoulli Xiaoya was wide-eyed. “What’s he up to? Didn’t he hear he double majored in a special body art?”

 

Fa Xiong sneered after a couple seconds, “Since you want to play so much, I’m game!”

 

Fa Xiong used Celestial Hymn Odyssey, upping the voltage around him with spiritual power. It also worked to speed up the metal pieces to the point they were flashing lights as they whizzed through the air.

 

No matter what move Wang Qi used, his body would be hit all the same!

 

Fa Xiong huffed and rushed at Wang Qi.

 

[Come on! You want to do this the hard way? Fine by me!]

 

Feeling the metal pieces whistling through the air, Wang Qi’s eyes lit up with interest. To the shocked eyes of all, he reached out with a hand and grabbed a flashing piece.

 

E=(mv^2)/2, kinetic energy was directly proportional to mass multiplied by square speed and divided by two. With enough speed, even the lightest item could be a deadly weapon. The metal pieces were sped up so much within Fa Xiong’s magnetic lines that they couldn’t be seen. Even a demon with the toughest hide would think twice about taking it on.

 

Wang Qi paused, took a weird pose, and…

 

He shook all over!

 

The tiled ground couldn’t take the immense force, and Wang Qi’s feet sank into the bluestone tiles.

 

[At this rate… his hand will break apart…]

 

Ai Changyuan widened, unable to believe his eyes. “Such destructive power…”

 

It was now that the second metal piece went for Wang Qi.

 

He turned and received it.

 

Bang!

 

With that loud sound, Wang Qi’s other leg sank into the arena as well.

 

Then the third and fourth…

 

Bang~!

 

The last few hits sounded almost at the same time. With each of Wang Qi’s movements, a piece entered his palm, which in turn made his feet sink one inch deeper into the arena every time.

 

Fa Xiong winced, for he lost connection with all the pieces that Wang Qi grabbed.

 

Without hesitation, he gave up the flashy and cool art, for he was no complete fool and knew he couldn’t beat Wang Qi like this.

 

Replacing it was a thundering fist.

 

“I don’t care what trick you’re playing at; you’re still going to lose!’

 

Fa Xiong’s fist was wrapped in countless flickering currents, crackling with deadliness. Even a late Qi Refining cultivator would falter against meeting it head-on. Not Wang Qi, though, for he just raised a simple fist to take it on.

 

It was fast and straight, yet it lacked spiritual power.

 

Fa Xiong was baffled by his reaction, but since the arena’s array would be there to take the brunt of his brutal strike, he buried the doubt beneath his aggression.

 

[Whatever your play, you’re finished either way!]

 

The fist clashed with a resounding boom.

 

The deafening sound echoed into the audience.

 

Fa Xiong grimaced. The spiritual power he pushed into Wang Qi was gone without a trace, but that didn’t matter since the other used Celestial Hymn Odyssey like he did and could cancel any electric attack.

 

[But my damn hand is killing me~!]

 

“Agh!” Fa Xiong held his right hand and fell back. He felt he had hit a hard diamond, and the reaction from it was close to ripping his hand to pieces.

 

Wang Qi was sent flying ten meters from the force, almost touching the barrier, though he looked unharmed…

 

If he knew Fa Xiong’s thoughts, he might even smile.

 

Because diamond sure was hard, but not that strong.“

 

His body’s toughness right now was higher than even multi-layered graphene, which was a million times harder than steel.

 

Wang Qi showed a natural expression, “Just like I thought, it can only increase the body’s defense and not its strength. The effect is even higher than War Thunder Body’s, though it falls short in terms of power.”

 

Fa Xiong held his hand wailing, “You damn banished immortal! Again!”

 

“Again, your ass!” Wang Qi flicked his head in disdain. “You’re dead.”

 

“Eh?”

 

Looking now at Wang Qi’s back, Fa Xiong’s rage surged. His left fist was wrapped in thunder, about to continue, when lightning shot from his mouth.

 

With a numb tongue, Fa Xiong couldn’t even speak, only stare dumbly. Then his throat erupted in a lightning storm.

 

It was Celestial Hymn Odyssey spiritual power running amok. Fa Xiong flailed about like a zapped mosquito.

 

The barrier let out blue glows that fell on Fa Xiong, helping him resist the wild spiritual power. The floating judge gulped and declared, “Winner, Argent Apex’s Wang Qi!”

 

No one made a peep.
