376 THE POWER OF BATTLE SAGE BODY
When Huangfu Hongue was finally able to gain control over his footing, he stood up and checked his broken blade. His hands were still shaking from the impact of Li Meng’s attack. His face was filled with disbelief that he couldn’t evenly match Li Meng even after using Qi.
“Stop looking so surprised. Was that all you had in your arsenal because that would be extremely boarding for me, and I will make sure you pay for wasting my time like that. Take some powerful weapons out and rush towards me. I want to see how long vermin like you can hold before the desperation breaks your brain completely.”
Li Meng’s words were like pricks assailing Huangfu’s skin, yet he couldn’t deny the fact. The very experience of being dominated by physical strength dazed him for some time. H eventually found his grip over the situation and turned serious.
“His mental fortitude is impressive.” The Keeper said.
“even if his mental fortitude is made from steel, it will be destroyed today. They say that the higher they reach, the harder is the fall. The same thing will happen with this clown.” Li Meng said.
The Keeper chose a silent treatment for this situation.
Huangfu took out another sword this time. This sword radiated might and was a Qi Emperor weapon. Yet it paled when compared to his dark Dragon sword which was nearing in quality to a Monarch grade artifact. Li Meng chose to fight barehanded.
“I am sorry to have underestimated you before. I will be using my actual strength from now on. I would request you to take this seriously as well.” Huangfu took it upon himself to warn the opponent.
“Bahahaha.” Li Meng’s laughter echoed within the field.
.....
“A clown should always follow his suit. I never expected it to be true, but now I am seeing it live. Fine, let us see if you are even eligible to make me use a weapon.” Li Meng’s words enraged Huangfu. His pride was crumbling under the pressure being radiated out of Li Meng’s presence.
“Sovereign’s sword barrage’ This was a special sword move that was devised by one of the powerful Qi Monarchs to have appeared within the Thunder academy. The Qi Monarch was said to have lived during the same time as the Mad-Thunder king. He was even compared to that legendary figure. Hence the art was quite impressive.
Li Meng decided to believe in his body cultivation and took the attack head-on.
As expected, the sword attack combined with the sword which was used in execution proved to be a powerful combination. The clash pushed either party towards their end, but Li Meng was blasted back, hence the ground around him crumbled.
...............
“That is what happens when you become too conceited in your power. Having confidence in your body cultivation is a good thing, but that move was reckless.” The sect master said.
The Ren brothers didn’t retort because they were thinking the same thing. The old man was the only person who looked unconcerned about the situation. He had a smile on his face.
“Let us not count our horses before the race ends.” The old man said.
The dust settled giving everybody a good look at Li Meng. Yet another gasp of surprise was heard in the field.
“Monster indeed.” All four pairs of eyes looked at Li Meng with shock and surprise.
.......................
Li Meng rose from the ground while shaking off the dust from his body. His body was completely unscathed except for the red mark where the sword hit. The attack wasn’t even able to penetrate through his body. He shook off all the dust and stretched hi9s neck a bit.
“Now that is something interesting. I seem to have underestimated this institute’s library. That art was powerful enough to raise my expectation. Yet, it was wasted in your hands.”
Huangfu’s expression was filled with shock. He admitted his inferiority in the earlier case by assuming that Li Meng had cultivated his body to a high stage. Yet the view in front of him was too shocking to comprehend. He had used an emperor-grade artifact infused with ancient art which was the legacy of one of the most powerful Qi Monarchs of Thunder Academy.
Yet, Li Meng was completely unscathed
“That one must have stung badly.” The Keeper said.
“It did. I never expected to receive such an attack from this ant. I officially promote him to a dog. You are right. He might have greater use than just being bullied and killed.” Contrary to everyone’s belief, the attack had managed to pierce through Li Meng’s defences and wound him. It was due to his superhuman healing abilities that the wound recovered almost instantly.
“I guess we need to use law energy this time.”
“Rather than using law energy, I would recommend you use your weapon. Directly suing Chaos Law from your body might trigger a tribulation from the world. The first one is always the easiest, and I would recommend you try it out once you enter the Qi Emperor realm, with proper preparation. We need to collect some powerful herbs in addition to what you sued during your experiments.”
“We will discuss it later. I will take your advice due to your experience in Chaos Laws. I would still prefer it over the weapon though. I would need to try it out someday.”
“Just not today.” The Keeper said.
“Fine.” Li Meng said with a discouraged tone.
...........
To everyone’s amazement, Li Meng picked up the sword. He then unsheathed it and kept the sheath in his pocket dimension.
“Come at me with your full strength. The show you have put up so far is just useless.” Li Meng said while pointing the sword at Huangfu Hongue.
“Fine” Huangfu Hongue’s body began to enlarge after he spoke those words. Symbols began to appear all over his body as his eyes began to shine with a weird light. His aura, which felt non-threatening previously now radiated with a power that surprised Li Meng.
“Now that is something interesting.” Li Meng said.
“He is awakening his battle-sage body. You need to be serious now. The battle sage body is powerful because of three reasons. Its core power is quite large. It amplifies the user’s power no matter what he uses. The more he gets hurt, the stronger he will be.” The Keeper explained.
“So, I need to beat him to pulp to experience the full might of the battle sage body.” Li meng said.
“Yes.” The Keeper replied.
Li Meng instantly awakened his Element-King body. A long time had passed since he last used the element lord body. It was time to see how powerful the Element King body was.
As soon as Li Meng activated it, Thunder began to madly race around him as the other element began to wreak havoc around the area. All of this was happening with Li Meng at its center.
The two figures rushed into a fight which began to destroy the stage completely. Debris was flying around the arena. Audience members were slowly starting to move backward as the momentum radiated from the clash was too powerful. It was as if two QI Emperors were fighting on stage.
....................
“I never expected you to have found someone with a Battle-sage body.” The old man said.” Your disciple is full of surprises.”
“So says the guy who hid the fact that his disciple possesses an Element King body.” The sect master spoke in contempt.
“I didn’t know before this that he was hiding such power.” The old man said. “I need to have a proper conversation with this brat after this matter is over.” The old man was already imagining the question he was going to ask, while also thinking ways to appreciate Li Meng’s capability. He counts himself fortunate enough to have such a talented disciple.
“What are the two bodies you’re talking about?” The Ren Brothers asked.
“Bodies are a type of physique which a cultivator is inherently born with. This special body type helps in diverse ways depending upon its nature. The Battle-Sage body is said to be well suited for wars. Element-King body on the other hand makes the user’s elemental affinity rise and reach unseen levels. That is one of the reasons your junior was able to establish three heavenly laws.
“Which one is better?” Ren Wang asked.
“Only time will tell in this situation.” The sect master said with a serious tone. The sight in front was like two Qi Emperors fighting with each other at their full power. The stage was already destroyed. The duo was currently fighting on the ground.
................
Initially, the clash led to Li Meng suppressing Huangfu Hongue. But as time passed, he was growing stronger. He eventually managed to fight LI meng on equal ground. His body was being riddled with scars as the element both inside and outside his body were wreaking havoc.
Li meng on the other hand was constantly being bashed by powerful punches which grew in strength as time passed.
