Asura Sovereign IX

by Shian Jeen

  “What?! What did this punk say?! Do my ears deceive me?!”

  “I think this punk has gone crazy!”

  The surrounding inner disciples each had an uncanny expression on the faces taking a look at Huwang Xiao, as though they were looking at an idiot.

  Killing intent exploded in Li Dufeng’s eye. A newly promoted inner disciple experienced the guts to tell him to break his own two hands, kowtow a thousand times, and then roll to the base of the mountain?!

  “Little death seeking punk! You’re literally begging for loss of life!” Li Dufeng’s anger boiled over, “Even if I can’t kill you, I’ll still change you into a waste, a cripple that’s better off dead than alive!” Li Dufeng shouted, his momentum increased to the maximum as his palm struck forward. The thousand li bright sky abruptly converted dark and stormy.

  Ferocious frigid wind emerged from the encompassing space. Li Dufeng, among the top ten internal disciples ranking, rated tenth. A late-Third Order God Realm master!

  That’s right, a late-Third Order God Realm. Compared to the late-Second Order God World Wang Biaoyuan, Li Dufeng was much more powerful by far.

  “DIE-!” Li Dufeng’s hand targeted Huwang Xiao upper body.

  Before the full impact of the palm even neared, the frightening gusts of frigid cold wind were stinging Huwang Xiao’s skin. The bushes, trees, and flowers nearby were wrapped in a layer of ice in the blink of an eye.

  Huwang Xiao’s eyes narrowed, his momentum rose to the peak in an instant. This time, he didn't hold back, the Asura Physique was pushed to the limit, the Wings of Demon spread out. At exactly the same time, the dark and blue twin dragon martial spirits flew out from his body.

  Huwang Xiao soul transformed in a split second.

  “How?! This is top early-Second Order God Realm?!”

  “No wonder this newbie is so proud, so he’s a top early-Second Order God World, but, just what exactly? An idiot just the same. What a pity this kid’s heading to be wasted in a few moments, otherwise, with his talent, as long as he knew how to behave along with his tail between his legs, who knows what could happen in a few hundred years’ time? The inner disciples’ top ten name list could have his name onto it.”

  When the surrounding disciples witnessed Huwang Xiao’s momentum, they were inwardly shocked, but their shock converted into pity as they shook their heads, sighing seriously, with eyes filled with sympathy.

  In the next moment, one thousand arms surfaced from Huwang Xiao’s back, scaring them silly.

  “The Fifteenth Move, Unrivaled Myriad Dragons!”

  All one thousand hands attacked concurrently. Each of the thousand arms got fifteen divine dragons traveling out, 1000 arms were equivalent to fifteen thousand divine dragons.

  The majestic might of the dragon descended, shaking the heavens.

  The dragon flow created by one thousand arms instantly shattered Li Dufeng’s frigid palm attack like crushing rotten wood.

  Li Dufeng’s eye widened in surprise, fear, and dismay as he was drowned in the overwhelming force of fifteen thousand divine dragons.

  A booming blast resonated and Li Dufeng was seen being smashed in to the air, his robe exploded into fragments from the force, and his hair was disheveled, slamming down heavily on the floor some distance away like a dead dog.

  The fifteen thousand divine dragons hovered in the air for some time before dissipating. By that time, Huwang Xiao acquired dispersed the thousand hands at his back.

  Not an audio could be heard on the hill peak, all the older inner disciples were stiffened on the spot. Their nerves twitched unnaturally staring at Huwang Xiao.

  Ignoring these people, Huwang Xiao stepped nearer to Li Dufeng.

  Ch.564

  Li Dufeng did not fall unconscious. Viewing Huwang Xiao arriving closer to him, his eyes revealed fear. Only he understood how powerful Huwang Xiao’s attack was!

  Amongst the inner disciples, he had the same feeling from two people!

  “You!”Just as Li Dufeng wished to speak, a gush of warm bloodstream spurted away from his mouth area, splattered over the ground, glaring to the eyes.

  A few foot from Li Dufeng, Huwang Xiao stopped, lifted a foot and stomped on Li Dufeng. Instantly, sounds of bone fragments cracking rippled in the air, accompanied by Li Dufeng’s miserable scream.

  What did Li Dufeng say earlier? Telling Huwang Xiao to cripple his own two arms and perform a hundred kowtows?

  “You little punk, do you know who I am? I’ll not let you go!” Li Dufeng roared these words out at the top of his lungs, his eyes filled up with boiling rage. If looks could destroy a person, Huwang Xiao could have died 100 times over by now.

  “Pardon me, I have no interest in knowing who you are.” Came Huwang Xiao’s indifferent reply, then he raised his feet again, stomping down on the other hands. The sound of breaking bones rang once more on the mountain peak.

  This time, Huwang Xiao secretly used a fraction of internal force, nearly leading to Li Dufeng to cry for his mother.

  “This brother, I’m Wang Chengsan, give me some face, allow matter end here.” At this point, a young man that could be considered handsome and a little feminine stepped forward to persuade Huwang Xiao.

  This young man, Wang Chengsan, was strong. His power was above Li Dufeng’s, positioned sixth among the internal disciples Great Ten.

  “Give you face?” Huwang Xiao changed around, a cold smirk on his face, “Why should I give you face? Is your reputation very big?” Huwang Xiao didn't forget that this Wang Chengsan was the main one who clamored the most, inciting the other inner disciples. The same one who said that Huwang Xiao’s brain was damaged, that he was crazy, that he was nothing but dregs before Li Dufeng.

  Wang Chengsan was astonished by Huwang Xiao’s reply, a deep flush quickly climbed up his face, clearly showing his anger. He didn’t expect someone that had just been advertised to an internal disciple to dare speak to him in such manner, not leaving an ounce of face for him in any way.

  There had yet to be anyone among the inner disciples who dared to talk with him this way, even those few people that ranked above him would still give him some face.

  Wang Chengsan’s knuckles transformed white, taking a look at Huwang Xiao with a frosty gaze. The energy fluctuations around him surged and increased higher, however, just like everyone thought that Wang Chengsan would strike, his increasing momentum abruptly converged and retreated to the side as if nothing at all occurred.

  Everyone around was baffled by the sudden change.

  Wang Chengsan actually retreated?! He… didn't have the guts to confront this newly promoted inner disciple?

  Sensing the many eye on him, Wang Chengsan’s fists clenched even harder under his sleeves, feeling great humiliation in his heart. He wished more than anything to blast Huwang Xiao into mincemeat with his fists, but he wasn’t assured.

  Although he too could defeat Li Dufeng, it was impossible for him to defeat Li Dufeng in one move like Huwang Xiao.

  Huwang Xiao’s display of strength made him feel apprehensive.

  Therefore, he'd endure! Endure for now, and later in the future, he would repay it ten times, a hundred times to vent this anger.

  Huwang Xiao didn’t expect this Wang Chengsan to suddenly retreat, this made him take another look at the person, not everyone had this character. In fact, he was just thinking that he could as well deal with this person in one go. But, Huwang Xiao didn’t mind this missed opportunity too much.

  His attention returned to Li Dufeng, saying, “Now, after you give a thousand kowtows, you can roll down the mountain.”

  More than one disapproving frown appeared among the encompassing inner disciples.

  “Brother, aren’t you being too ruthless? You have already broken Li Dufeng’s hands, and now you’re requesting a thousand kowtows.” Another internal disciple couldn’t resist speaking up.

  This inner disciple’s name was Zeng Feng, ranked fifth among the Great Ten. Those with the capacit
y of having a courtyard on the hill peak were all top notch inner disciples.

  “Too ruthless?” Huwang Xiao sneered, “When Li Dufeng attacked, wanting to cripple my Qi Sea and break both of my arms, why did you not turn out and say it’s too ruthless? If my strength was weaker than him, my Qi Sea would have crippled right now and both of my hands damaged. I’ve only broken his arms, yet you feel like I’m ruthless?”

  An unnatural flush colored Zeng Feng from his face to his neck, but he knew that Huwang Xiao was highlighting the facts. If it weren’t for Huwang Xiao’s power dominating over Li Dufeng, the crippled one would definitely be Huwang Xiao instead. However, they subconsciously felt like it was Huwang Xiao’s fault. A recently marketed inner disciple along with his attitude was too lawless.

  In the end, Zeng Feng didn’t speak another term.

  “Damn punk, you’re definitely going to regret this! ” Li Dufeng glowered viciously at Huwang Xiao.

  “I only know that if you don’t kowtow one thousand times and then move down to the foot of the mountain, you’ll definitely regret it.” Huwang Xiao’s tone was chilling.

  Li Dufeng looked like he was going to spit open fire from his eyes while Huwang Xiao simply looked at him with chilly indifference.

  The others appeared on, this time, no one said a word.

  Afterwards, right in front of everyone, Li Dufeng flipped his body up, then his heads lowered, touching the bottom in a kowtow. This scene was shocking to the other internal disciples.

  One loud thud after another was heard as Li Dufeng kowtowed again and again. The entire time, his eliminating intent was comparable to a roaring wrathful volcano, but it did not erupt, for he understood that with his current strength he previously no power to withstand against Huwang Xiao. The result of resistance would only end up more tragic than it was now. In those days, Huwang Xiao would likely crush his Qi Sea, and even cripple his hip and legs as well.

  He gritted his teeth and held everything in.

  Huwang Xiao spared a few glances at Li Dufeng. Ignoring everybody else, he strolled into Lawn No.1. Although this Yard No.1’s spiritual energy was lense thick compared to the Institute Principal’s manor, its environment was several times much better than the cultivation courtyards located at the foothills.

  In the courtyard, there was a cultivation room, a study room, and a small front hall. At the guts of the yard was an unknown religious tree emitting a refreshing faint scent. A whiff of it actually helped calm one’s brain and will.

  Other than these, there is also a back garden, space for planting some spiritual flowers and grass. After taking a tour around Backyard No.1, he was quite satisfied with the place.

  Despite its compact size, around two hundred rectangular meters, it could be considered a haven. How many geniuses dreamt of having such a cultivation courtyard in the Dark Warrior Institute yet never really had it realized. More importantly, there was the protective formation organized by the institute in each courtyard. During cultivation, after activating it, he wouldn't need to be concerned about others coming to disturb him.

  ‘But, the array is just a little weak, I must strive to strengthen it within the next two days.’ Huwang Xiao made a mental note. Although he had not been very skilled in array formations, he do learn some from Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi in recent years, maybe it's considered as having some superficial knowledge. A little rearranging could increase the strength of the array twofold.

  On the outside, the crowd of inner disciples also dispersed after watching Huwang Xiao moving inside Yard No.1, each one returning to their own cultivation courtyard.

  Staying there any longer would only increase Li Dufeng’s humiliation, who knew if Li Dufeng would direct his resentment onto them instead.

  No one wanted to get involved in endless troubles.

  Some time later, Li Dufeng completed his 1000 kowtows and stood up. Throwing a vicious take a look at Lawn No. 1, he turned around and remaining.

  For Wang Chengsan, a piercing gleam flickered in his eye the moment he returned to his own yard, that new punk made him lose face in public. He was greatly annoyed by this.

  “I’ll take care of you once I have your background investigated.” Killing intention flitted in his pupils.

  Ch.565

  Huwang Xiao watched with a sneer as the other inner disciples, as well as Li Dufeng, still left. He was sure that Li Dufeng would not let this matter slide, however, this only made things livelier.

  Although he couldn't really kill the opponent within the Black Warrior Institute grounds, next time it definitely wouldn't be as simple as two broken arms.

  The news that one of the internal disciples’ Great Ten, Li Dufeng, was sent flying by Huwang Xiao with an individual move, and in addition had both arms broken by Huwang Xiao and gave a thousand kowtow at the end spread like wildfire. Not only in the ranks of inner disciples, it pass on throughout the whole Black Warrior Institute, raising waves of surprise.

  The impact of this news was larger than Huwang Xiao defeating Wang Biaoyuan in one strike through the outer disciple assessment, it was even more shocking, rousing the hot blood of both inner and external disciples.

  After all, Wang Biaoyuan was only a late-Second Order God Realm. Who was Li Dufeng? A late-Third Order God World master! Moreover, he wasn’t any average late-Third Order internal disciple.

  Huwang Xiao, at early Second Order God Realm, defeated a late-Third Order God World master in a single move. This is the surprising point. When the two outer disciples who challenged Huwang Xiao during the outer disciple evaluation, Xie Ning, and Luo Kai, noticed this information, they only experienced their limbs go cold, fifty percent frightened to death.

  Institute Primary Feng Yang, who was simply cultivating in his manor, was stunned for half of a day when he heard this little bit of news. Then, he erupted, laughing madly with happiness. Being able to receive such a disciple, what more could he ask for?

  The Huwang Xiao who could defeat a late-Second Order God Realm Wang Biaoyuan in one move had made all those super forces high experts’ eyeballs almost pop out of their sockets and their jaws fall to the ground. But now he truly sensed the extent of his fourth disciple’s genius.

  Inside one of the cultivation courtyards at the mid-mountain area, Gudu Leng stood along with his hands behind his back again. His face a myriad of wonderful expressions. Obviously he heard about Huwang Xiao defeating Li Dufeng. Recalling his hesitation on challenging Huwang Xiao through the outer disciple assessment, the muscles on Gudu Leng’s face involuntarily twitched.

  This was the first time in his life feeling powerless and frustrated. Not even when Huwang Xiao required the first place in the external disciple assessment experienced he felt such as this.

  Originally, after being promoted to an inner disciple, he had thought that he could defeat Huwang Xiao during the inner disciple assessment. However, this idea was now vanquished.

  Before, he previously always considered himself a monstrous genius, no other person could rival his talent. However now, he finally recognized what a genuine monstrous genius was. His skill before Huwang Xiao was less than a fart.

  A couple of days ago, when he was promoted to an internal disciple, the institute also arranged a hill maximum cultivation courtyard for him, however, he himself ‘tactfully’ conceded it, moving to the mid-mountain area on his own accord.

  He knew full well the extent of his power. Perhaps after another 2 hundred many years of cultivation he would obtain the qualification to go up to the top.

  Inside Yard No.1, Huwang Xiao cared not how intense the rumors outside were, talking about how he defeated Li Dufeng with one strike. He cultivated wholeheartedly, and also spared some time to strengthen the array around the courtyard.

  On this day, Huwang Xiao ended his practice. Both hands grabbed before him and real religious energy from deep in the void surged, collected, and condensed, turning out to be three pieces of spirit stones.

  Spiritual energy continued to swirl
round the spirit stones, not dissipating, vibrant and dense-high grade one spirit rocks! Yes, high grade one spirit stones!

  Before breaking into Second Order God Realm, no matter what method he tried, he failed to condense high quality one spirit stones. The highest he ever managed was mid grade one spirit stone. After he stepped into Second Order God World, the time and space laws inside his soul sea greatly enhanced, enabling him to condense high grade spirit stones.

  Currently, the number of time and space law threads in Huwang Xiao’s soul sea had more than doubled, reaching near to twenty-one thousand. Furthermore, each thread was two meters long and twice the thickness of a thumb.

  On average, a Second Order God Realm expert had around two thousand time and space treads in their soul sea. Huwang Xiao’s got exactly ten times their amount. Consequently, Huwang Xiao’s fight power was not as easy as ten times stronger than them.

  Even some more powerful late-Third Order God Realm experts’ time and space law threads hardly reached twenty thousand, not forgetting the actual fact that their length and thickness couldn't be in comparison to Huwang Xiao’s threads.

  Huwang Xiao continued to gather more spiritual energy, condensing it into high quality one spirit rocks. Very quickly, 1 hour passed. In front of Huwang Xiao laid a pile of spirits stones. In fact, there were ten thousand items in total.

  According to the market price, one high grade spirit rock could be exchanged for a little more than one thousand Xuanwu coins. Therefore, ten thousand nature rocks brought Huwang Xiao’s new wealth close to ten million Xuanwu cash.

  With Huwang Xiao’s condensing rate, twenty-four hours in a single day, he could condense more than two hundred thousand parts, bringing him more than 2 hundred million!

  Two hundred million ah!

  That time, when he auctioned a piece of high divine grade spirit stone, it was only eighty-three million!
