Chapter 550: Battle to the Death, Epiphany!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Amitabha!” Master Kong Xiang called out the name of Buddha and said to Happy with a smile, “Young Swordsman Happy, you’re an outstanding representative of the younger generation of martial artists. I am old now, and I don’t want to be the leader of heroes, so how about this?

“If you can withstand one hundred moves from me, I will retreat and surrender.” He stopped talking for a while before he added, “But these one hundred moves will not be easy. I will use my full strength. Do be careful.”

His words were spoken calmly, but he did imply that he wanted to give guidance to a junior, and it caused quite a number of people at the foot of the stage to feel impressed.

Happy knew that this was not just because of the favor from Eternal Peace Temple, but because he had done quite a lot of quests in Shaolin Temple for a long period of time. He had quite a friendly relationship with Master Kong Xiang, which was why he had this sort of treatment.

“I will definitely work hard and withstand one hundred of your moves,” Happy answered in a very humble manner.

Kong Xiang smiled faintly and did not waste anymore breath.

He acted in a subservient manner and pushed his palms together. He then flung his vajra, and the little golden hoops on the vajra instantly let out clear clinging sounds.

After a few steady footsteps, an astonishing presence surged out from his body. His yellow kasaya tumbled backwards even though there was no wind around!

Happy did not dare to be careless. He clenched his fists slightly, and two dragon-shaped vortices instantly appeared from his palms.

At that moment, the dragon-shaped vortices were like two balls of cotton in front of Kong Xiang. They were absolutely harmless!

“Master, please fight me!”

Happy knew that he had to seize the moment and improve his own strength. After his loud shout, he attacked swiftly. He punched at the air, and at the same time, he shot toward Kong Xiang like an arrow fired from a bow.

Bang! Bang!

Two fist-generated winds that struck at the air rammed against a spot that was two feet away from Kong Xiang. They formed a faint layer of ripples that vanished without a trace once they were negated by a power that was as gentle as water.

But that did not affect Happy’s next move…

He charged forward at full speed and threw his third and fourth punches without stopping. His momentum increased at lightning speed!

Kong Xiang stayed where he was. There was a faint smile on his face as he simply allowed Happy to increase his strength and the momentum of his Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm.

Happy did not disappoint him.

In the beginning, his fist-generated wind could only form ripples, but soon, it could form pits that were two feet deep. Then, he forced Master Kong Xiang to use the dismantling effect of Demon Subduing Great Art to weaken the force so he could withstand the pressure head-on.

When he arrived in front of Kong Xiang, he had already delivered the ninth move with a loud roar!

A dragon-shaped vortex that was more than two feet thick formed in the air in a wild manner. As Happy threw a heavy punch from above, the true qi surrounding Master Kong Xiang burst apart before the punch even landed. It formed an arc-shaped cover that seemed to have physical form to protect Master Kong Xiang inside.

Bang!

Happy’s fist landed on Demon Subduing True Qi, and the vortex of qi contained in Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm negated the qi flow formed by Demon Subduing True Qi. With one punch, Happy broke down Master Kong’s Demon Subduing True Qi. Then, his fist broke through Master Kong Xiang’s basic defense, and for the first time, he forced Master Kong Xiang to attack.

Whoosh!

His vajra let out a clear and fierce sound, and it was as fast as lightning. It instantly arrived in front of Happy’s face, and the fierce but even offense caused Happy to feel a terrifying sense of danger. He was almost sure that he could not fight against it head-on.

‘This feeling… It’s very dangerous!’

An urge screaming at him to dodge and that he could not suppress rose in Happy, but it only lasted for an instant, because an even stronger sense of danger rose in his heart! Suddenly, he realized that his boiling blood seemed to be showing signs of dropping in temperature, and the momentum that allowed him to progress smoothly started showing signs of slowing down and disappearing.

‘This is bad!’

The most important part of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm was its momentum. If he avoided the attack, not only would all his work come down to nothing, he might also be traumatized by it!

Happy gritted his teeth and quickly circulated his Golden Essence Nine Yang Skill. In a moment, a new force exploded from his Dantian region.

“Open!”

His shout was like a roar of thunder. It was also accompanied by a dragon roar that tore at the heavens and rang through the arena!

“ROAR!”

Happy went up against Master Kong Xiang’s mighty and peerless vajra while tearing through the air with his fist. A terrifying momentum burst out from his body! In an instant, the great dragon behind him swelled up several times its size, and four of its golden claws froze up to gain physical form and release an intimidating glare that crashed straight into the vajra!

BANG!

The fierce crash rang through the arena and shook the ground.

The piercing sound caused the challengers on the other arenas to stop fighting and look over.

The dust that filled the air could not completely hide away the image of a dragon, and One Emperor and Zhang Wuji, too, showed deep shock on their faces.

The impact and crash just then was about the level of the crash when Guo Jing exchanged blows with Zhang Wuji!

Guo Jing stared at the image of the incomplete dragon on the stage while standing below, and he could not help trembling! He simply could not believe his eyes!

‘Dragon Fights in the Wild! It’s that skill!’

The boy on the Dragon Tiger Arena was just in Life and Death Realm, yet he had actually come to understand one of the strongest profound secrets within Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm, which could only be gained when one had no room to retreat and had to fight in desperation.

“Ding!

“The fearless soul of a dragon! Fighting in all directions! You understood Dragon Fights in the Wild! When you are faced with danger, you can lose one hundred qi points in exchange for power that will increase your strength by 50%.”

The system notification arrived late, but it explained why such powerful strength had burst out from Happy’s Dantian region.

Because of its lateness, he had also had the time to witness Master Kong Xiang’s shock and puzzlement after he had been forced to the edge of the stage.

“Young Swordsman Happy, your strength is becoming more and more shocking.” Master Kong Xiang did not expect that Happy, who had been in his control, wouldt suddenly burst out with strength like that.

He had been certain that he could defeat Happy with his attack, but not only did he not manage to break the momentum Happy had built for himself, he had even been injured lightly in the head-on attack. His kasaya had been slightly torn, and this caused the Shaolin Temple abbot, who had a great status, to feel slightly awkward.

“It’s all thanks to you that I achieved this.” Happy smiled wanly.

Even though the hit just then was completely unexpected, Dragon Fights in the Wild was too domineering to the enemy and to the user themselves. It made him lose one hundred qi points in one go, and if he used it again, he would drop to Mystical Realm. He could not use such a skill freely and he could only speak a bit while he circulated Golden Essence Nine Yang Skill to swiftly recover some of the qi he lost.

They had only exchanged one move just then, so there were ninety-nine moves left from Master Kong Xiang’s promised one hundred moves.

Even though Happy had answered in a very forthright manner to One Emperor’s words, it was not very easy to win two rounds in one go!

One Emperor did not have a smooth time as well.

Even though his sword technique had reached a transcendent level, Zhou Zhiruo was not someone who would let him manipulate her easily. Her expression was as cold as her eyes. She held Heavenly Sword and had Nine Yin Manual.

One Emperor had already executed two slashes, but he did not gain any advantages from them. His attacks were negated by a black claw in the air.

But Zhou Zhiruo’s expression had become solemn. She noticed that the ridiculously young and nameless boy really had the ability to threaten her.
