I Can See Your Combat Power

Chapter 736: Chapter Thirty: Enquiry

The battle was still intense, ten breaths, fifteen breaths, twenty breaths….

Tang Xing had seized absolute initiative on the ring platform, the raging Spiritual Fire had covered most of the platform, and certainly, that included Bu Chen.

Unlike most opponents who got flustered when faced with Spiritual Fire, Bu Chen, who knew the nature of Spiritual Fire, did not panic at all. Instead, he suppressed his Spiritual Power deep inside his Dantian, not allowing any leakage except when using Spirit Art, much like an ordinary person without any fluctuation of Spiritual Power.

Spiritual Fire feeds on Spiritual Energy. Without a source of Spiritual Energy on Bu Chen’s body, it naturally returned to the Spirit Flame Body Illustration, to compete with other Spiritual Fires for the spiritual essence that was boiling out of Tang Xing’s body.

Bu Chen, who had lost the initiative, was gradually turning the tide of the match using his solid foundational skills. Meanwhile, the fierce-looking Tang Xing was on the verge of exhausting his Spiritual Power!

“Now let’s see what else you can pull off,” Bu Chen sneered. Even though his opponent had repeatedly unleashed secret techniques to seize the initiative, such augmentation techniques ultimately depended on the qualities of the warriors themselves.

Had these secret techniques been cast by the master of the Number One Ring, he might have already been defeated by now. But cast by this boy in front of him, they had only managed to cause a brief moment of chaos.

Bu Chen was as clear as a mirror in his heart. At most, after twenty more breaths, the boy would be drained of Spiritual Power by his secret techniques.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Three continuous Spirit Arts forced his opponent into retreat. Rather than hastily widening the gap, Bu Chen instead pressed forward.

After their recent exchange, he had found that Tang Xing’s mastery in Spirit Art was significantly higher than his skill in physical combat. In other words, despite Tang Xing’s amazing reflexes and formidable defense currently, close combat was still his weakest point.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Bu Chen was no longer in a rush to create distance at the moment. He intended to maintain sufficient aggression to make Tang Xing think twice about dispersing the Vajra Seal, thereby accelerating his opponent’s consumption of Spiritual Power.

The situation suddenly reversed. Bu Chen, who had just been dodging and blocking, suddenly went on the offensive. Tang Xing, who had always been the aggressor, retreated into the Spiritual Fire, as if his previously demonstrated strength was just an illusion.

The raging Spiritual Fire shielded everyone’s vision. Tang Xing’s form vanished within it. Yet, Bu Chen relentlessly pursued him, diving head first into the Spiritual Fire.

Although the temperature of the Spiritual Fire was not extremely high, the fact that Bu Chen could step into it without changing color at all spoke volumes about his superior physical training. It seemed he had no weaknesses whatsoever.

Maintaining his oppressive footing, Bu Chen forced Tang Xing to retreat to the edge of the platform, unknowingly arriving at the center of the Spiritual Fire.

Tang Xing, who had been in constant retreat, suddenly stopped. A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth as he formed seals with both hands. The young ring master, with his incredibly keen senses, suddenly felt the masterless Spiritual Fire around him going berserk. He had a bad feeling!

Once the Spiritual Fire is released, it becomes uncontrollable. This was a well-known fact among warriors. However, the Spiritual Fire created by Tang Xing was very different from average Spiritual Fire, as it was cultivated with the Fire Seal and his own spiritual essence.

Even though he could not manipulate it freely, he was still capable of basic control, such as condensing it, then causing it to explode violently!

“Fire Embrace Seal!”

Tang Xing forcefully clashed his Spiritual Fire seals in his hands together. The Spiritual Fire that filled the platform, as if stimulated, crazily surged towards the center. The color of the Spiritual Fire was changing at a rate visible to the naked eye, growing darker.

The rapidly rising temperature caused the spectators at the edge of the platform to unconsciously step back. It was fortunate that they had taken a few steps back, for it gave them enough time to react.

Because the Spirit Fire summoned by Fire Seal, though gathered for less than three breaths, exploded violently!

Bits of Spiritual Fire fell among the crowd, causing the spectators to scatter around, too preoccupied with dodging to care about the outcome of the fight on the platform.

The Burning Spirit Art extinguished, the Vajra Seal dispersed, Tang Xing sat on the ground panting heavily, thinking to himself: I should have won, right?

This was the most powerful secret combination of the Spirit Fire that he could currently use. If he still couldn’t win with this, then he was truly out of options.

“You’re indeed quite impressive. But if you want to win against me, you’re a decade too early!”

The sudden voice from behind made Tang Xing’s heart sink. Bu Chen, who should have been at the center of Fire Embrace Seal, had somehow gotten behind him at some unknown point.

A kick landed on his spine as soon as he managed to barely raise his Great Luo’s Finger. Under the crushing force, his spine snapped, and Tang Xing, whose spine was bent into a V-shape, was flung into the air.

As if he had done something insignificant, Bu Chen took a cursory glance at Tang Luo, then calmly sat down cross-legged, allowing the challenger whose spine had been broken to fall freely.

The referee from the Fierce Realm, who had been standing by the ring platform, calmly used his Spiritual Power to guide Tang Xing in mid-air to the doctors who were on standby nearby.

Whether it was life or death in on the ring platform, injuries were commonplace. As the host, Martial Saint Mountain naturally would not let challengers worry about their injuries.

“Doctor, how is my brother doing?”

Tang Luo appeared on the opposite side of the ring platform as if by teleportation, startling the physician.

Seeing who the person was, the middle-aged female physician patted her ample chest, saying irritably, “You scared me to death. Your brother is fine. His spine has only been snapped by the exerted force. With the Spirit Restoration Elixir, and a year or two of rest, he should fully recover.”

“One to two years?” Tang Luo frowned. He initially thought Tang Xing’s spine had merely been kicked and broken. He hadn’t expected Bu Chen to apply force to that kick.

Clearly, Tang Xing had already exhausted his Spiritual Power. If he had just casually struck him unconscious, it would have been fine. But he deliberately applied the force to break his spine, there was no doubt that it was intentional.

For a young warrior, two years of being bedridden would waste how much time. If previously, Tang Luo did not want to quarrel with those at stage two, at this moment, he was truly enraged.

“May I ask the Chairman, did Martial Saint Mountain only prepare these hundred ring masters?”

Tang Luo, who was standing next to the No. 28 ring platform physician, suddenly shouted up at the pinnacle of the Fierce Realm who was on the central high platform at Bifang Mountain.

The sudden question attracted the attention of everyone on Bifang Mountain. Even the warriors on the ring platforms turned their attention to seek out the one who asked. The Chairman, sitting at the top of the platform, looked at Tang Luo as if he did not understand the meaning of the question.

“If there are challengers who maim or kill your ring masters, then is there anyone who can substitute for your ring platform?”

Tang Luo asked coldly with a straight face at the high platform, but his words caused a round of laughter in the entire venue.

The ring masters and the challengers all turned their gaze at Tang Luo’s face, as if they wanted to see what someone who dared to make outrageous claims on Bifang Mountain looked like.

The Fierce Realm warrior serving as the chairman had a broad smile on his face. As if to show his magnanimity, he gently replied, “Martial Saint Mountain’s outer gate has prepared this many ring masters. If my young friend can seriously injure them, this ring would be vacant. But I wanted to remind my young friend here to assess your own capabilities and beware of following your younger brother’s footsteps.”
