Zang Xu looked on in silence with a curve at the corner of his lips while thinking, "It seems Brother Wang is about to get serious, looks like he wasn't underestimating that Feng Yu from the start."
Xiang Shu observed with an odd lighting shining at the depths of his eyes, a dark wind soon after blew towards the battle platform.
Swoosh! "A Body Practitioner... Star Body eh? This should prove to be quite an interesting bout," Feng Yu said in a soft voice as he reached his left hand towards his back and gripped the hilt of his sword, Black-Lightning. Clink!
Ye Wang seeing this finally spoke with a serious look on his face different from his usual carefree manner, "Red Haired Sword Fiend, your strength is good but if you think you can beat me in the same manner as you did Sheng Being..."
As he said this, he slowly spread his legs out and clasped both of his palms into a fist by his sides.
Ching! As if being summoned by something, a stream of fragmented starry energies began to flow towards his body from a few brightly shining stars in the night sky.
Quickly they made their way through the scattered dark clouds, soon, his body started to glow in a bright color as his muscles contracted and expanded clustering over each other creating a tyrannical muscular structure.
Ye Wang then looked at Feng Yu and roared, "Then guess again!"
BANG! An oppressing wave of energy soon shrouded the battle platform spread outwards for more than 50 meters.
"Such power!" A rogue practitioner said in shock as he felt a bit of the oppression.
"It's no wonder Body Practitioners are said to be generally stronger than those in the same realm. His oppressive energy alone is enough to crush many who reside in a similar stage of cultivation," Another practitioner said.
As Feng Yu felt the oppressive power, he couldn't help but raised his brows in surprise as he spoke with a strange smile on his face, "Incredible! This Body Cultivation Technique of yours is certainly not of an ordinary class. Heh, I'll make sure to learn as much as I can before I defeat you."
As he finished his statement a sharp look quickly came over his face, his hair slowly grew unstable as his powerful peak 8 Tier Body Training realm essence energy shrouded his entire body.
Within a few moments, his flame-like essence energy gathered around Black-Lightning causing the sword to emit black electrical sparks.
Crackle! "Let's test your defense shall we!" Feng Yu said as he leaned his body forwards soon after vanishing after a flash of light turning into a streak of lightning instantly appearing before Ye Wang.
"Too fast!" Ye Wang shouted in surprise as he quickly placed both of his arms in crossed position at his front to block Feng Yu's assault.
Shing! The cry of the sword resounded throughout the battle platform as Feng Yu slashed Black-Lightning forwards, instantly creating a black line that connected with Ye Wang's crossed arms.
However, the expected sound of meat getting sliced through did not reverberate in the area.
Clang! As if colliding with a hard metal, Black-Lightning held in Feng Yu's hand started to vibrate for a short period before coming to a stop. Feng Yu looked at this scene with even more profound interest as his body flashed instantly appearing at his previous location appearing to have not moved.
He then observed Ye Wang's body with his soul force and couldn't help but feel interested as he noticed the starry energy flowing towards the star that was on his forehead.
Feng Yu thought to himself, "He gathers energies from the stars and circulates these energies throughout his acupoints. It seems that the bright star on his forehead was an acupoint that was activated. Hmm, could it be that to cultivate this technique one has to fill up a certain amount of acupoints with these starry energies to activate them? If that is so, how many energies would one need to activate? And how would one be able to tell their cultivation stage?"
As Feng Yu was lost in thought, the audience was focused on Ye Wang.
A white line could be seen on Ye Wang's two arms as no visible wounds or injury was on the surface of his skin. Ye Wang placed both of his armed back at his sides and spoke with a more confident smile on his face.
"Daoist Feng Yu, if this is all you've got. You have disappointed me! Now it's my turn to show you what real strength is!"
As Ye Wang said this, he repositioned his body from a defensive stance to a combat stance.
BANG! His oppressive energies started to gather once more around his form creating the illusion of a starry body in the vast universe, clusters of star energies rotated around his body like a galaxy seen vast space.
"Star Body Art: Revolving Stars Fist!" As Ye Wang roared his entire body sprung towards the sky twirling along with the rotating energies surrounding his entire form.
Soon, he reached a peak scattering bright starry light across the entire Chosen Battle Arena, and his entire form started to descend towards Feng Yu with an illusory starry fist enclosing his rotating form.
Swoosh! The wind in the surrounded began to swirl violently as miniature tornados were formed by Ye Wang's attack.
The surrounding spectators looked at Ye Wang's body in surprise.
"How could his body be so strong? It actually blocked such a powerful attack from a top-tier mortal ranked weapon, and now he's demonstrating powers comparable to that of an initial stage 1 Tier Aura Disciple," A scholarly looking man exclaimed.
"Star Body Practitioner, they truly live up to their reputation as one of the continent's most indestructible body with terrifying offensive capabilities..."Xin Zhu said as he saw this scene.
"Indeed..." Tang Fei replied in agreement as he nodded and continued to observe the scene before his eyes.
"It seems that the Wang brat has made some improvements, reaching the peak of a stage 1 Star Body Practitioner. Hmm, he could catch up to his twin brother if he has more opportunities," Xun Yanshan said with a look of approval on his face.
On the battle platform, Feng Yu's hair and clothing were sent into disarray because of the terrifying pressure and wind from the attack descending towards his form.
As he heard Ye Wang's taunt and observed the descending starry fist that now eclipsed his view of the sky, he couldn't help but smile as he responded, "Very well then, I'll start taking you a bit more seriously as it seems that I won't be able to truly comprehend your technique in this battle."
Quickly, he changed his stance to that of a unique sword stance with one leg place in front and the other bend at his side with the tip of his boots on the ground. His body was slightly tilted to the side with one of his arms stretched towards the descending starry fist, and his other arm resting calmly at his tilted side while holding Black-Lightning with its tip facing towards the ground.
Bang! His blazing essence-energies erupted once more merging with his entire form as it flowed inside of the sword at his side. Soon, sharp sword energies covered his whole being giving Feng Yu an impression as if he was the sword and sword were one.
"Could this be?" Xun Yanshan exclaimed.
"Isn't this the sword realm - One with Sword?" Both the strange man from the Midnight Temple and the Southern Revolution Faction said as they looked at Feng Yu with shock.
"I don't believe it, isn't he a practitioner that has only recently undergone his coming of age ceremony? An unusual cultivation base is one thing but managing to comprehend the sword realm of 'One with Sword' is something I refuse to accept!" Huan Mang shouted shock as he saw Feng Yu's sword like state.
The Feng Clan members observed with smiles on their faces as the woman in white looked at Feng Yu with a bright gleam in her eyes.
As the major influences and rogue practitioners were caught in surprise, Feng Yu on the battle platform had finally made his move.
Torrents of dark lightning energy shrouded his form from Black-Lightning as his body instantly turned into a ray of black lightning that shot towards Ye Wang's descending starry fist.
Shing! As if time had stopped, the starry fist paused with the bright dark lightning flowing
across its entirety including the form of Ye Wang who still had the same fierce expression. Soon, the black lightning streak quickly reached the distant dark clouds in the sky colliding with the clouds.
Crackle! A loud thunderous boom could be heard as the dark clouds above the chosen battle arena started to react because of Feng Yu's attack, dark lightning snaked around its surface which after a moment struck towards the ground of the battle platform soon after reforming into the figure of Feng Yu.
Time once more continued.
As Feng Yu stood silently on the battle platform, he turned his back towards Ye Wang who still had his illusory starry fist that remained in the sky and spoke softly, "Sword Foundation Tactics: Path of Speed - Thunder Flash Sword..."
As Feng Yu's voice trailed off into the wind, a change soon occurred on the descending starry fist.
Boom! The starry fist that was previously descending with an indomitable might exploded into glittery particles of starlight, scattering across the entire sky of the chosen battle arena.
Puff! A wave of blood soon after followed which erupted from Ye Wang's body that now fell towards the ground like a wingless bird.
Bang! As he collided with the ground, Ye Wang tried to open his mouth to speak once more regarding his sudden shock at his unknown state of being. However, his vision quickly started to fade as his consciousness slipped into darkness.
Feng Yu looked back at the unconscious form of Ye Wang on the stage and spoke under his breath in a tone filled with disappointment, "What a pity! I thought you would have shown a more unique skill to resist my Thunder Flash Sword. Sigh, it seems that I'll have to use the small amount of information gained to ponder on the creation of a Bloodline Body Cultivation Technique for Aunty Xingyu."
The Chosen Battle Arena was filled with silence, as all of the Major Characters looked at Feng Yu's calm and disappointed expression with solemnness.
"This... this Feng Yu! He is..." As Xin Zhu muttered in shock, another voice couldn't help but continue his statement.
"Far more powerful than we could ever have imagined..." Xun Yanshan said as his gaze shifted from Feng Yu's form to that of Zang Xu.
Zang Xu stood quietly on his True Chosen silver square, looking at Feng Yu with an interested expression as Xiang Shu, Wuqi Shouzhi, Xia Rou, and Nei Dongyuan's previous indifference became solemn.
The woman in white looked at Feng Yu and spoke softly to her comrade, "It's strange..."
"Young Lady Mingyun! What do you think of as strange?" A female also in white asked.
"His body gives off a different aura..." She said in a puzzled tone.
"A different aura?" The servant in white said in a confused manner.
The woman in white looked at Feng Yu with an odd gaze her eyes flashing with many symbols as she spoke once more.
"An aura that does not belong to this world..." As she said this, her voice faded into the wind, as a chilly breeze started to blow once more, and a new dawn was about to descend upon the darkness that shrouded Machen Town...
Chapter 63
__
The Final Chosen War, A Startling Change!
It was a dark scene, as silence filled the entirety of a once lively town. The streets were void of any signs of activity as if everyone in the town had vanished. A gloomy sky blanketed the world with its dark clouds as pellets of snow fell. A few beams of sunlight managed to break through some of the dark clouds as they illuminated a small portion of this 'Ghost Town.'
Swoosh! A dark morning wind blew amongst the empty street ways traveling all the way towards a large mansion that resided within the northern district. However, upon reaching the entrance of this mansion, the dark winds acted strangely as they swept around the estate unable to proceed directly through it.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
Three forms soon appeared in front of this mansion, a handsome looking man surrounded by two gorgeous beauties. If one were to view them from afar, they would quickly be lost into their charms. Sadly, these beauties and the handsome man each had a frown on their faces.
"This Feng Mansion, I don't know what kind of formation they are using but the ‘Cloudy Corruption Wind Dark Arts’ is unable to penetrate it. How could such a profound and abstruse method be in the hands of a small local clan such as this?" The handsome man said with a frown on his face.
"Damn! Now we have an unexpected variable in our plans, the preparations won't be complete if we don't add the individuals residing in this Damn Mansion!" One of the beauties said as she stomped her feet and snarled.
"Sigh, I guess there is no use now, let's just make do with what we have. Jie Jie! I do not believe that these incompetent humans can break our incomplete formation," The handsome man with a bright light shining at the depths of his eyes, the two beauties beside also laughed with the same eerie tone as the odd light shone both of their eyes.
∞ ∞ ∞
The Chosen Battle Arena was filled with noise as many rogue practitioners, and influential characters were occupied in the discussion of the previous battle. However, as these individuals were lost in heated dialogues, there was a change on the battle platform.
The eyes of the Ancient Dragon Construct had started to glow once more which then caused a bright light to cover Ye Wang's form healing his major injuries before transporting him to his Pseudo Chosen bronze square.
Zang Xu and Xia Rou looked towards Ye Wang in silence as each was lost in their own thoughts.
"What is the limits of your strength? I certainly hope it isn't limited to what you've shown, after all, it would be meaningless to battle if that were the case," Zang Xu said to himself as he looked at Feng Yu.
Dai Lin who had now partially recovered looked at Feng Yu and gripped his fist, “Young Master still hasn't used any major strength, and he is still leagues above my current levels. It looks like I'll have to take some to time to truly comprehend the mysteries of my cultivation art before I advance to Aura Disciple realm. I should be able to increase my battle prestige if I can grasp the initial success of the 'Electro Overdrive'"
Miren Fei looked at Feng Yu's figure on the silver battle platform with a firm look on her face.
Lang Kuang observed in silence.
The Ancient Dragon's eyes soon began to glow once more, after which it spoke to the world, "The match is over! I declare Feng Yu as the Fourth True Chosen! Commence Final Match!"
As it said this, the platforms for Xiang Shu and Xia Rou started to move towards the last silver platform.
Rumble! Seeing the change, the audience couldn't help but to feel a wave of excitement, a few individuals gripped their fists silently as they speculated the results for the upcoming match.
Xun Yanshan observed Xia Rou's figure on her platform for a bit before shifting his vision to Xiang Shu while muttering to himself, "Hmm, the Xia Clan's brat’s strength is not inferior to Ye Wang's. I'm curious, will this strange youth be capable of matching her."
The Feng Clan, imperial clans, and other parties also observed in silence.
Zang Xu, Wuqi Shouzhi, and Nei Dongyuan also placed their complete attention on Xia Rou and Xiang Shu.
Feng Yu who now stood on his silver platform shifted his gaze towards Xiang Shu on his moving platform.
"I don't know who or what you are but daring to interfere with my own gratitude and grudge will lead you to no good end," Feng Yu said as a murderous gleam shone in the depths of his eyes.
Thump! With the sound of the platforms connecting to the final silver square platform, the figures of Xiang Shu and Xia Rou could now be seen standing at opposite ends of the newly joined battle platform.
As if he could sense something Xiang Shu looked to towards Feng Yu with a smile on his face, soon after returning his gaze to the beautiful young girl in front of him.
"I smell the scent of a maiden..." As he said this, he couldn't help but lick the corner of his lips as a dark gleam shone in his eyes before speaking once more, "If you become my concubine, I will spare your life."
<
br /> The spectators hearing this was stunned, the members from the Golden Dragon Empire started to radiate intense murderous lights as Xun Yanshan looked at Xiang Shu with a cold look.
Xia Rou hearing his words was also stunned, quickly she recovered her composure and spoke with an angry expression, "You foolish indigenous from this backwater affiliate kingdom! For your statement, I will kill you right now!"
Bang! A strange and mysterious kind of power soon erupted from her body, the elements lingering within the essences of heaven and earth starting to gather around her form. If one looked carefully, they would notice two bright colors, blue and green.
"A peak Class 1 Dual Element Arcane Mage, impressive." Feng Yu said with a slight amount of surprise.
Xia Rou after collecting her mage force raised her hands in the air causing a magic staff to materialize out of nothingness. As she gripped the magic staff, she started to chant.
"I call upon the power of the wind..." As she spoke, the wind essences started to gather around her body.
Xiang Shu seeing that Xia Rou had no interest in his proposal scoffed in response, "Hmph! A trivial water and wind element female mage dares to not refuse my offer! You do not know good from bad, allow me to show you how to truly call the wind,"
As he said this, his aura quickly erupted.
Bang! The essence-energies of the 9 Tier Body Training realm was released as a stream of dark wind energy quickly shrouded his entire form causing him to rise into the air once more like a kite. After a few moments, he floated in the air as if he was nothing more than a part of the wind itself and showed his palm towards Xia Rou.
"Dark Jade Wind Arts: Dark Wind Palm!" Xiang Shu roared as the powers of the dark wind essences in the surroundings started to gather around his palm, quickly a massive dark palm shot towards Xia Rou with unstoppable momentum.
Swoosh! The winds of the dark palm carried with them the enormous power. A feeling of death quickly came upon Xia Rou. However, she remained calm as she finished her chant and pointed her staff towards the airborne Xiang Shu.
"First Spell of the Wind: Tempest Storm!"
