Martial Research Master

A third-person view revealed a heavily injured Hunafu Hongue fighting an almost unscathed Li Meng to death. Although Huangfu was getting stronger as time went by, Li Meng looked as if he wasn’t even bothered by his attacks.

“How can this be possible? This boy has the element King body for sure, but that doesn’t guarantee any kind of rapid healing abilities. He also doesn’t seem to be using any kind of art.” The sect master said.

“What are you talking about?” Ren Wang asked. ” What I am seeing is Huangfu Hongue recklessly beating up Li Meng with no power in his punches, while Li Meng is straight-up crushing him. The only reason he can remain standing is the battle-sage body.”

Even Ren Dao looked confused.

“Even if you are a Qi Emperor, your senses haven’t developed to the level that you could properly analyze the fight.” The old man said. “It is not that Hunagfu isn’t able to land a hit or his punches are not hard enough. Li Meng’s healing ability is just that strong. His body is healing at a pace way faster than Huanfu could injure. That is the reason he looked unscathed.”

“Even if he can rapidly heal himself, he would still need to use a lot of energy. Yet he doesn’t look pale at all. There isn’t even a tinge of frustration or weakness in his expression.” Ren Dao said.

“That is the exact reason which stumped both me and the sect master. His body can heal itself naturally at a speed without even being operated on by his mind. It means that he must have another natural body, and that one is even higher in quality than the Element King body. Your junior brother is a true monster.” The old man was getting more and more excited by the second.

“I finally managed to find a worthy successor to that sword.” The old man said. ” I also need to arrange a lot of rewards for him. He still has room for growth within the Qi King level. I think the cleansing pool would be a great addition.”

.....

Huangfu Hongue has pushed back once again, and he managed to get a clear glimpse of his unhurt opponent. He then looked at his figure which was already red with his blood. His frustration grew by the second. Although he was feeling the increase in power as time passed, fatigue was piling upon his body. He couldn’t sustain it for much longer.

“Battle-Sage sutra 1: Valiant sword art” He screamed as the blade he held in his hand was completely covered in white light, just like his eyes. Li Meng was intrigued by this art and prepared to take it head-on with one of his sword arts. It was a mixture of all the sword arts he had received from the Dak-Dragon Emperor.

He named it “Dark-Dragon sword tome”.

The sword began to emit a Heavy Dark aura and the faint outline of a dragon soon appeared all around Li Meng. A low-pitched voice was raging throughout the arena. It sounded like the scream of a Dragon.

“I never expected you to use one of your most prized sword arts in this fight.” The Keeper said.

“The enemy has proved to be worthy enough. This sword art is just a gesture of respect towards him.” Li Meng said.

The two arts rushed towards each other. One dark, one light. One was like a dragon, while the other was shaped like a sword. The two clashed and the arena around was destroyed once again. The impact pushed either of the sword users back, and even Li Meng’s hands were bleeding.

“So he managed to wound me. That is a sign of power for sure. He is officially eligible to be my servant.” Li Meng was brimming with enthusiasm. He wanted Huangfu to continue the fight. After such a long time he managed to meet someone who gave him a hard time while being in the same realm. The last time it happened was when he fought with his little sister.

..................

Everyone felt the strange dragon scream. Even the four people who were watching from a faraway place.

“That is a powerful sword art,” Rn Dao said.

“I have never heard of such art being used. Do you think he managed to devise such art by himself?” Ren Wang said.

“That is impossible. That sword art is at least a peak Emperor grade, if not even higher graded sword art. How could he devise such art by himself?” Ren Dao said.

“The ease with which he performed it signifies that his training in that art is quite extensive.” The sect master was impressed by the art too. She knew about Huangfu’s Valiant Sword art. Yet the Dragon managed to contend equally with it.

“That is an impressive art for sure.” The old man’s expression had changed. He felt a sudden tinge in his heart, as something shook within his dimensional pocket.

“To be able to attract the attention of that sword, this boy must have a teacher who has learned draconic arts. As expected, my decision of giving him the sword was perfect. He might be able to wield it. The last person who managed to wield it was that man.” The old man suddenly closed his eyes as the events of the past flashed in front of his eyes.

“I can’t let myself be clouded with past events. I need to secure the future of this child.”

.................

Huangfu Hongue wasn’t faring any better. He was exhausted and frustrated. He decided to give it his all on the next try.

“Battle Sage Sutra 2: Vagrant Sword art” The power being radiated this time was even stronger than the last. Even Li meng was impressed just by experiencing the sheer power within the sword art. He was sure that he would get hurt unless he used his top three arts. Yet he couldn’t because of the Keeper’s advice.

The only thing he could do was to combine world energy with his draconic sword art. He tried to do it in the past but failed multiple times. Yet a feeling arose from his heart that he could do it. The dragon which was just roaming around him slowly began to expand and materialize. It got real and bulkier by the second.

Even the screaming emitted by it became louder by the second. Some of the audience had to clench their ears to not get hurt. The Draconic aura it emitted intimidated everyone.

The old man had to hold his ring to control the mad vibration being emitted by it.

“Is it what I think it is?” The sect master asked.

“I think so.” The old man said.

“How can this be possible? He is just a Qi King-level practitioner. That is not something you could even feel, much less practice unless you step into the Qi Monarch level.” The sect master’s expression was filled with shock.

“He must have met some fortunate encounters to gain an understanding of world energy.” The old man said with a mental connection to the sect master. He didn’t want his disciple to hear about this. The secret of world energy should only be realized with their power when they reach the Monarch level. It was the gateway with which they could enter the level of Dominator.

“My disciple has officially lost this battle. No matter how powerful his art is, he would be exhausted to his limit after this.” The sect master said with a discouraged voice.

.............

The two arts clashed once again, and the arena was blinded by the impact. When the audience recovered their sight, they saw two figures standing in the middle of the battlefield. Each one of them was hurt and bleeding. Even Li meng was bleeding not only from his hand but from his torso and mouth too. The latest clash has taken its toll on his body.

Huangfu Hongue, on the other hand, was not only heavily injured, but also exhausted to his limit. He could barely keep his eyes open, and his sight was blood red due to the blood covering them.

“I lose.” He barely managed to speak those words before his body started to fall. Just then, a hand grabbed his neck and lifted his body upwards.

” I have mentioned the result of the defeat at the beginning of the fight. ” Li Meng raised his hands and was about to attack Huangfu’s Qi base when a roar shocked his body.

“Stop immediately.” It was none other than the sect master. She had landed on the stage. ” Free your grip. You have won the match.”

The old man wanted to see how Li Meng would react to the situation. He could see that the sect master was enraged. How would he make peace?

The word she heard the next second shocked him.

“Why should I?” All the audience members, elders, and even the old man had shocked expressions on their faces. The boy had the guts to ask this question.

“because I told you so.” The sect master said.

Li Meng’s grip on Huangfu’s neck increased which choked him. The sect master’s expression turned into worry.

“I won’t ask again. Why should I?”Li Meng said. He was openly threatening the sect’s master.

“What do you want?”

“Every single one of the arts he had practiced along with a Monarch Grade artifact.” The audience gasped with shock. Is this guy trying to extort the sect master?

“All the arts and three Emperor grade artifacts of the peak quality.” The sect owner was considering the offer.

“Five Emperor grade artifacts of the peak quality,” Li Meng said.

‘Deal.” The sect master said.

“I hope your mercy will be showered after I let go.” Li Meng said with a smile. The sect master nodded her head. She took a ring out and threw it at him. He inspected it and let go of Huangfu.

The battle had ended with Huangfu’s win.
