Free Web NovelChapter 185: Chapter 183: Brutal
In the sky above the martial arts arena, two figures were still locked in battle.
They clashed fiercely, their continuous collisions echoing like thunder, causing all sorts of lights to flash and a monstrous, bloody aura to surge.
At this moment, Fang Yang beat his Thunderfire Wings, and the air around him exploded.
He swept his spear downward, and orbs of thunder and fire bloomed one after another like lotuses.
With every move, he generated an extraordinary momentum, using sheer, brutish vital energy to force Murong Chengfeng back relentlessly.
Under Fang Yang’s frenzied assault, the shield in Murong Chengfeng’s hand looked ready to shatter, faint cracks appearing on its surface, making one worry for him.
But Murong Chengfeng’s eyes were as profound and dark as ever.
With a great ROAR, a pair of wings also burst from his back—the blue Sea God’s Wings!
With the help of the Sea God’s Wings, he too could now fly and fight Fang Yang in the air.
But Fang Yang’s vital energy was simply too immense. He was somehow able to overpower Murong Chengfeng by force, his momentum never faltering, which was incredible to witness.
Constantly on the defensive, Murong Chengfeng lost his ornamental hairpin.
His hair fell loose as his eyes flashed with cold electricity. His entire suit of armor erupted in a brilliant blue light that swept out in all directions.
It was only at this moment that he truly displayed the air of a great general, no longer just a simple, ordinary sword-and-shield fighter.
"Don’t get cocky!"
He roared at the sky, the blue light all over his body trembling.
A lifelike phantom of a Xuanwu emerged from the light, seeming to have come from ancient times, bringing with it monstrous waves that rumbled loudly.
The Xuanwu phantom then opened its eyes and let out a strange, loud cry.
Simultaneously, Murong Chengfeng’s body suddenly seemed to grow taller. He looked like a divine general tasked with calming the seas, bringing his greatsword down with all his might, intent on cleaving Fang Yang in two.
The very air trembled and the azure waves surged. Everything had changed.
At this moment, he seemed to be the only light, there to punish Fang Yang.
"Xuanwu Suppresses the Seas!"
Many people cried out, their voices failing them and their faces filled with horror, because this move was simply too terrifying.
Even the Saints hidden in various corners were deeply shocked.
’If we had been Murong Chengfeng’s enemies in our youth, what would the consequences have been?’
Thinking about it, many of the Saints felt their hair stand on end. They secretly acknowledged Murong Chengfeng’s fearsome power and agreed that he could become the next Great Saint of the Waterlands.
In response, Fang Yang’s expression remained unchanged. He instantly activated the trump card he had been preparing for a long time.
In an instant, thunder and flames intertwined before him. Carp and Eagle tangled, sublimating into a Kunpeng, which then transformed into a Golden Tai Chi Diagram that materialized inverted on the tip of his spear.
Under his control, the war spear, wrapped in immense Yin and Yang Qi, descended like a colossal pillar, filling the sky with killing intent.
As everyone watched, the golden light eclipsed the azure waves, and the murderous intent shook the very air.
Streaks of golden lightning flashed across the sky, and the martial arts arena was left in ruins.
"A transformation of Yin and Yang?!"
"It’s not the Great Sun Golden Crow, it’s a Kunpeng!"
"Such monstrous vital energy, and that bizarre Golden Tai Chi Diagram... What kind of talent and aptitude is this...?"
The crowd was astonished to see that Fang Yang still hadn’t been defeated by Murong Chengfeng.
And when they saw clearly that what Fang Yang was using wasn’t the technique of the Great Sun Golden Crow, but something akin to a Kunpeng transformation, even some of the Saints’ eyes widened in amazement at his talent.
Ever since the last great upheaval of heaven and earth, the reason for the gradual decline of the Changkong Fang Clan was that the path of the Great Sun Golden Crow had become impassable!
In other words, no one could condense a perfect-grade Great Sun Golden Crow Spirit Body or Sacred Body.
That was why they were so shocked to see Fang Yang’s monumental feat of ’if there is no path, I will forge one myself’.
BOOM—
The sounds of battle continued without end as Fang Yang and Chengfeng carried on their great fight.
The Carp Eagle Spirit Body was not a Kunpeng Spirit Body, after all, so Fang Yang was unable to completely suppress Chengfeng.
In the air, on the ground... the two young prodigies fought like Flood Dragons emerging from the sea, like luan birds beating their wings. Their movements were as fast as lightning, and their battle was inextricably fierce.
Gradually, their True Essence was nearly depleted, and the sharp edges of their weapons became chipped and blunted.
Afterward, they both astonishingly abandoned their weapons and began to fight hand-to-hand in a bloody brawl.
The battle was both intense and perilous. A single mistake could lead to death on the spot. Even with the Saints ready to provide aid, there was a risk of permanent consequences.
This was a confrontation of Spirit Bodies, a clash of killing moves, and above all, a life-or-death struggle between physical bodies.
Such a ferocious battle left the spectators utterly dumbfounded.
But compared to Chengfeng’s skill, the crowd was even more shocked by Fang Yang’s transformation.
"Is that really Brother Fang?" Qing Zhao was stunned speechless. ’In a fight like this,’ he thought, ’I probably wouldn’t last three rounds.’
Muri Xining’s eyes dimmed. "So, it was I who was presumptuous."
Zhang Chi’s eyes were bloodshot as he ground his teeth. "Why? Why have you become so terrifying?"
In the sky, their figures flickered nonstop.
Fang Yang remembered the crucial tip and relentlessly attacked Murong Chengfeng’s chest. This forced Murong Chengfeng into an awkward position, and the rough-looking man’s ears actually turned red.
「On a hidden cloud.」
Seeing this, Mrs. Sen’s expression was odd.
Mrs. Sen looked down at Sen Yuanyuan. "Yuanyuan, were you the one who told Fang Yang about the fatal flaw on Murong Chengfeng’s chest?"
Sen Yuanyuan, whose fair forehead was beaded with cold sweat, snapped back to reality. Hearing her mother’s question, she nodded decisively. "Yes, I was the one who told Mr. Fang to strike hard at Murong Chengfeng’s chest."
Hearing this, Mrs. Sen’s expression grew even stranger. Her red lips parted slightly, but she seemed hesitant, unsure if she should say what was on her mind.
Just as Sen Yuanyuan was feeling puzzled, her pupils suddenly dilated.
On the battlefield, the two figures clashed once more.
But this time, Fang Yang’s aura surged. His fists struck out like dragons, forcing Murong Chengfeng’s aura to become unstable and his body to sway.
SPLASH...
The next moment, the sound of flowing water suddenly arose, and a brilliant blue light erupted from Murong Chengfeng’s body.
His robes billowed, his presence swelled, and he directly forced Fang Yang back.
Fang Yang narrowed his eyes, warily watching Murong Chengfeng’s transformation from a distance.
Enveloped in the brilliant blue light, Murong Chengfeng’s figure began to shrink, and his skin, once as dark as ink, turned as fair as snow.
A moment later, an exquisitely beautiful young woman appeared before Fang Yang.
The young woman wore a leather robe unique to the Xuan Region. The long-sleeved robe was a mix of blue and white, with gold embroidery at the edges, giving her a pure and noble appearance.
She was tall and slender with a full, thick head of white hair that fell casually over her shoulders, adding a touch of languor to her stunningly cold and beautiful face.
Murong Chengfeng? Murong Chengfeng!
BOOM—
It was like a clap of thunder on a clear day, like a giant wave overturning a mirror-calm lake.
"W-w-what, what’s going on?"
Seeing such a transformation, the crowd was completely dumbfounded.
At this moment, Sen Yuanyuan finally understood why her mother had been so hesitant to speak. A blush couldn’t help but creep onto her cheeks.
She had actually told Mr. Fang to attack a young woman’s chest. That was truly a breach of righteous conduct.
But...
Fang Yang’s pupils contracted for a moment, but then he decisively shot forward and continued his frenzied assault, showing no sign of holding back for a beautiful woman.
This turn of events once again left the crowd speechless.
Even Murong Chengfeng herself was slightly stunned, as if she hadn’t expected Fang Yang to be so savage.
...
The battle was over.
The moment Fang Yang forced Murong Chengfeng to reveal her female form, the outcome was already decided.
Fang Yang was victorious, entering the top ten of the Human Ranking and fulfilling Mrs. Sen’s requirement.
The last rays of sunset burned brightly, and evening crows returned with their food.
By the shore of Cyan Moon Lake, Sen Yuanyuan and the others gathered around Fang Yang, still talking about the great battle.
"Murong Chengfeng is actually a girl! Why did she disguise herself?"
"I’m not too sure either. But I imagine it has something to do with the Murong family’s traditions. That clan places the utmost importance on the distinction between men and women."
"Hiss~ To think, you really defeated Murong Chengfeng and became one of the top ten on the Human Ranking..."
Sen Yuanyuan, Dongfang Momei, and the others chattered on while surrounding Fang Yang.
The looks on their faces were still ones of shock, as if they couldn’t believe that Fang Yang was truly a powerhouse in the top ten of the Human Ranking.
Seeing this, however, Zhang Chi felt a pang of bitterness.
Seeing Fang Yang being the center of attention, so full of vigor and pride, made him feel sick to his stomach! freeweɓnovel.cøm
He said, seemingly offering a suggestion, "Murong Chengfeng’s speed is still far behind. But if she reaches the top ten of the Earth Ranking and chooses the [Golden Sun Wind Roc Wings] Sacred Material, you definitely wouldn’t have won so easily..."
Golden Sun Wind Roc Wings?!
Fang Yang’s eyes lit up. He stared at Zhang Chi from afar, making Zhang Chi’s hair stand on end.
The Golden Sun Wind Roc Wings were one of the two Sacred Materials he needed to evolve his Carp Eagle Spirit Body into a Kunpeng Spirit Body.
He had already refined the [Black Moon Water Kun’s Heart] Sacred Material, which was why his vital energy was as vast as the sea and his strength was unparalleled.
It was also because of this that he, with his grade-A Spirit Body, had a chance to defeat Murong Chengfeng and her perfect Spirit Body.
Now that he knew a way to obtain the Golden Sun Wind Roc Wings, his heart naturally stirred.
Because he knew that the Thunder Saint Academy in the Dream World actually corresponded to the Thunder Saint Academy in the real world.
However, this point also made it clear just how far the Fang Clan had fallen.
To think that Fang Yang had to gather this kind of information himself.
Fang Yang’s expression softened. "Zhang Chi, tell me more in detail..."
Soon, Fang Yang learned that at the Thunder Saint Academy, prodigies who reached the top ten of the Earth Ranking for the first time could choose one Sacred Material.
Furthermore, the selection of Sacred Materials available to each new group of top-ten contenders on the Earth Ranking was always different.
Moreover, the first-ranked on the Earth Ranking got to choose first...
’At the Thunder Saint Academy, if I reach the top ten of the Earth Ranking for the first time, I’ll have a great chance to obtain the Golden Sun Wind Roc Wings!’
Fang Yang came to this conclusion, and his heart began to pound wildly.
He made up his mind. At the Thunder Saint Academy, he would reach the top ten of the Earth Ranking, or even higher.
Everything was for the sake of obtaining the Golden Sun Wind Roc Wings Sacred Material!
