Martial Research Master

Chapter 374

374 HUANGFU HONGUE-Li Meng looked at his opponent with interest. He was sure that the people who had experienced the rampage on the stage would have informed their peers about it. He was sure that no sane person would find trouble with him unless they are confident in their power or have an advantage in numbers. Now number wasn’t a problem since those he could manage against would be crippled.

If the number is larger than his capacity, he could call upon his senior brother and their followers to eliminate the threat. There was a third kind, which was filled up with madmen who gave no qualms about their safety and rushed in just for battling. The guy in front was either one of the first category or the third one.

“You must be confident in your strength.” Li Meng said.

“I am. I am confident enough to ask for payback for my cousin whom you so ruthlessly crippled.” Hongue replied.

“Which one was your brother again?” Li Meng said.

“My brother was the leader of the group who attempted to have a combat with you,” Hongue replied.

“Oh. So he was that little piece of shit, who hid behind his group and tried to ruin my reputation while engaging me in a continuous fight. I have to say, he thought he was cunning, but was too overconfident in his plans. He never even saw the result drawing upon his fate until the very last moment. Are you the actual leader behind the ring, whatever the child you call yourself?” Li Meng asked.

“I am not. I do know what he did was wrong and rotten to the very core. I warned him about mixing with that bastard, but he didn’t pay heed to my worries. I would like to apologize for his actions as a cultivator, but I have a duty towards my family too. He and I grew up together and I have taken care of him as a blood brother. I have to seek revenge.” Hongue said in a calm voice.

“Amusing.” Li Meng laughed sarcastically. ” I am impressed by your fa?ade, which might be your true face. Either way, I don’t give a fuck. I don’t take morals, and kindness into a physical competition of drawing swords against my opponents. No matter what your identity is, if you lose it, you will die.” This was the first time Li Meng was pissed while being within the academy.

.....

He never paid any heed to the weaklings within the institute who wanted to compete against him as he knew he was unmatched. Even then some people wanted to take advantage of his position to forcefully impose fights and tasks upon him. This ironic situation was something Li Meng hated to its very core. He decided to send a message to the public about what happens when his baseline is violated.

“What is this bastard’s body condition?” Li Meng asked the Keeper.

“If I were to comment on his body, I would say he is adequate at most. But I think my readings are wrong as he seems to have some cloaking device that is cloaking his original power from my scan.” The Keeper said. ” This kid must be an influential figure, to have a monarch grade artifact shrouding his cultivation base.”

“I will be taking all his treasures and his life.” Li Meng said.

“If he has a monarch grade shrouding artifact, he must also have a monarch grade protection talisman just like your master’s talisman. How are you going to violate it? Are you thinking about using the cannon shot?”

“Of course not. I will be using the same thing which he is going to use to protect himself at the end of the day. I will use the talisman to compete against him and kill him during the opening.”

“Even then, his cultivation is shrouded. Beware.”

“As long as he is within the first three realms of the Qi Emperor, he is just a joke to me now. I could feel it after establishing Chaos law. I am no longer bound by this fucking world, which means its laws are ineffective against me.” Li Meng said.

“Well, that is true, but overusing your strength might give rise to an anomaly of heavens. Heaven might send tribulations towards you.” Keeper said. Li Meng wanted to hit his head on the floor but managed to restrain himself.

“Being your senior, I will give you a chance to strike me,” Huanfu said. Li Meng looked at him as if he was looking at a clown. It managed to arouse a sense of awkwardness in Huanfu Hongue. He felt something was different.

“Well, I will take you up on the offer.” Li Meng buried his sword right beside him and clenched his fist. The next moment he was directly above Huangfu Hongue with a powerful Thunderous Fist raining on him.

Hanfu Hongue was taken back. His instincts screamed at him to dodge. He immediately countered the attack with an attack of his sword. Yet the momentum carried within the attack was so great that Huanfu Hongue was pushed back to the end of the stage.

“He sent Hongue senior to the edge of the stage with his bare fist. This guy is a monster.” The audience screamed at the top of their lungs. The excitement rose by a second. This was the match they had been waiting for. The last match was lopsided. Li Meng crippled all his opponents in a matter of a few seconds.

Huangfu Hongue, on the other hand, was also known to be a cultivation monster on par with Thunder Child. According to the rumors, he too had managed to connect with two heavenly laws and even some earthly laws. Some said his talent was at the very peak of all the disciples until Li Meng came onto the scene.

This was a fight between the titans of the Qi King realm.

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

“The boy is quite unusual.” The Keeper said.

“Did you manage to find something?” Li Meng asked.

“Well when you two made contact, it enabled me to send my energy into him and sense his cultivation. Guess what I found.”

“That is just a wasteful twit and I have been wasting too much of my time.”

“The boy has three heavenly laws in his body. I never thought we would encounter someone this special here. On top of that, he has what we call a Battle sage body. It is a special kind of body that is possessed by the inheritors of battle-sages. I never expected to encounter one here. It is extremely rare to find someone of such a powerful race.”

“His body has undergone a preliminary awakening, and is equivalent to your element king body.”

“Only the element king. I think we both know that is nothing. I have so much body cultivation and art stacked up that I almost forget sometimes. Also, I am only saying special kinds of body and arts. I am not even considering body cultivation.”

“Well, I am saying that he would be an ideal underling to have.” The Keeper said. ” He even has an in-depth achievement in body cultivation. He has already awakened all his meridians and is now practicing the acupoints levels. He has already opened up 35 acupoints. That is something right.” The Keeper said. Li Meng was surprised for some time before reverting to normal.

“I already said that he died today. There is no force within this world which could save him from death.” Li Meng was resolute on eliminating this guy.

“Well, I would like for you to reconsider. Let us not judge the book by its cover. I think he approached you with a clear conscience.” The Keeper said.

“His aim and ambition are of no significance to me. I only know one thing and that is the fact that this person dared to test my patience. He needs to pay the price for defiance.” Li Meng said.

“Then punish him. But leave him alive to use later. Crush him into a state of obedience.” The Keeper said.” It would be perfect revenge. Crush his ambition and confidence completely.”

“I will think about it.” Li Meng said.

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

Huangfu Hongue was shocked after experiencing Li Meng’s power. He never expected such a powerful Qi King to be present in the academy. He thought that LI meng would attack once again, but as the dust settled, all he could see was an ignorant man standing in the middle, itching the back of his ear.

“Well, I made the first attack. Follow through and stop wasting my time. I have too many tasks to look forward to.” Huanfu’s expression turned from shock to blank for a second. When he saw his opponent’s sword buried on the stage, his heart was filled with anger. He was someone who stood at the very top of Qi king, overlooking countless cultivators. Yet a junior was showing him disrespect.

“Dawn of thousand thunder swords.” He proceeded to attack at full power, yet Li Meng didn’t even flinch. He just stood there and raised his hands, materializing a Qi shield in front of him.

The attacks landed on the shield and a massive explosion took place, covering the entire stage in the dust. The crowd was cheering at the top of their lungs.

Yet when the dust settled, the entire crowd went silent.
