Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao

Chapter 76 The Outer Court Rankings X: One Punch!

===============¶¶================

"What?"

"You didn't hear what I said?"

"..."

"Okay then. Let me rephrase what I said..."

Arthur raised his index finger, "Do you believe that I will break your shield and beat you in one attack?"

"That's impossible! You are either being arrogant or ignorant of my abilitiess!" Akin ridiculed Arthur for what he said.

He did not believe what Arthur said in the least. Although he acknowledges that Arthur was more powerful than him despite having a lower cultivation level, he will never believe that he can be defeated in one move by Arthur.

And his confidence came from his shield.

"So you don't believe then?" Arthur dropped his hands to his side.

Akin refrained from responding, rather he wanted Arthur to talk more and indirectly buy more time for Shena to finish her fight.

'Hurry up, Shena!' He said in his heart.

Arthur sighed and shook his head. Then he raised his head and looked at the sky while placing his hands behind his back, then he sighed again and more loudly this time.

"Sigh..."

'What's wrong with him?' Akin was confused.

"It appears that you are an unbeliever, huh?" Arthur turned to Akin with his hands still behind his back.

"You know what this means right?" The corner of Arthur's lips curved up a bit.

Akin was getting more confused trying to guess what Arthur was thinking in his head.

'Maybe this guy is a bit crazy in the head, after all. You never can tell what crazy shit goes down in the head of these geniuses!' Akin had concluded that Arthur was a weird case.

"Since you do not believe in my words, thereby declaring yourself an unbeliever. Then with my fist, I will make you believe!" Arthur spoke with a raised voice and the entire arena heard.

"Watch me...watch me defeat you and anyone else I face in this competition with only one move regardless of who they are!"

"Then you shall run to tell your masters, that I am Invincible!"

Arthur didn't just have confidence, he also had the ability to back up his claim.

But no one present knew that, even Luke who always believed in Arthur wasn't too sure about what Arthur said.

'But if he says he can, then that means he can,' Luke still believed in Arthur in the end.

"Oh, my heart...he is so awesome!" Evelyn's heart was stirred and her eyes shine as she looked at Arthur.

Balor and the others looked at each other and could see the doubt in their eyes. They also had no confidence that Arthur can back up what he just said.

"We'll wait and see, I guess," Sun Wukong shrugged his shoulders.

The arena went silent for a second, and then a load of negative comments rained down.

"Fuck! I have never seen someone speak so much crap before in my life!"

"He is bluffing, he is definitely bluffing!"

"Of course he is...does he really believe himself to be invincible?"

"I didn't want to believe the rumors before but I guess seeing is believing. This guy is a very arrogant fellow."

"Yeah, not even the number one disciple will dare say that he can beat any opponent in the Gold Core Realm in one move when he is only at the fourth rank of the Gold Core Realm!"

Many raged as they felt Arthur was too absurd.

"I would have believed him if he was at the peak of the Gold Core Realm, as he is a seven-star genius after all. But he is only at the fourth rank of the Gold Core Realm."

Their main problem was that Arthur's cultivation was still too low to make such a statement as he did.

The top ten rankers also frowned at what they just heard. They felt that Arthur was looking down on them too much.

"He thinks he is so powerful? Let me meet him in the arena and see just how he will beat me in one move!"

"Ha, laughable! A greenhorn who doesn't know how wide the sky is."

"Indeed, he is but a frog at the bottom of the well."

This time almost all the top ten rankers spoke out. All except one.

Mark Grayson, the number one disciple made no comment like the others. In fact, he didn't even open his closed eyes as though everything going on had nothing to do with it.

The others looked at him and shook their head. They knew Mark was always like that. He never gets angry or happy, they have never seen him display any emotion.

'Except that one time...'

A few recalled the only time that they saw him angry and they shivered at what happened after that.

At the Elder's side, Elder Maten furrowed his brows and shook his head.

'I didn't think he would be this kind of person.'

"This boy is too arrogant! He will be taught a bitter lesson sooner or later!" An elder that was a supporter of the Blood Sword Faction spoke out.

Even those that were not against Arthur spoke negatively about him.

But at this time someone said something...

"But what if he does it?"

`````

Back in the arena, Akin chuckled in mockery.

"You must have a few screws loose if you think that is possible."

"I meant what I said," Arthur raised his fist, and secretly activated his strength and speed intent up to the fourth rank.

Immediately he got a boost and felt the enhancement it brought.

"Since you don't believe..."

He walked forward until he reach the barrier.

"....I will make you a believer."

*Vroom!*

Arthur's fist began to glow in a milky white light as he activated a martial arts technique.

"North-Star Fists..."

Akin saw that Arthur was about to attack and amped his shield further with his essence energy and martial spirit.

"...Fifth Star!"

Arthur raised his fists and punched out.

*Bang!*

Akin widened his eyes in surprise.

'He can use that level of the technique?!'

*Crack!*

His spherical barrier cracked all over in an instant, and just when he wanted to reinforce it...

*Shatter!*

The shield shattered and a giant fist formed of essence energy continued forward till it made contact, and then...

*Boom!"

An explosion occurred and Akin was sent flying out of the arena and landed on a wall.

*Bang!*

His clothes were burned and so was some of his skin. He was breathly raggedly and was unconscious. The dust from the destruction covered him.

As the crowd, it took some time for them to process what had just happened, but when they did...

"What...the...fuck did I just witness?!"
