Martial Research Master

Chapter 401

401 YAN SOBA’S POWER

“Dark-Phoenix Canyon: Fire Fist Burst”

“Trailing Fire Arts: Indefinite Explosion”

“Ghost Steps”

These were the three skills that Yan Soba was using to fight with the avatar. Long Tao, on the other hand, was using Floating Dragon Steps to evade the attacks, and at the same time using the Dominator’s Fist art to attack the opponent

“Dominator’s Fist: Mountain Crushing Strike”

“Dominator’s Fist: Sky Piercing shot”

“Dominator’s Fist: Rapid Burst”

Long Tao decided to alternate between the modified three moves of the Dominator’s Fist art. he had managed to enhance the Fst art even while fighting with the opponent in the hell-plane, thanks to the Crimson-World Artifact. He even managed to cre4ate a rough outline for the fifth and sixth moves of the art. He decided that he would be developing that skill by combining it with the art present in the nether plane.

Three of the avatars were going to stay within the Nether Plane and hence he decided to join only the top forces in the area. he could then access their records and skills to improvise his understanding of martial arts, thus improving his own skillset.

.....

The two attacks collided and the result was a constant tie. Yan Soba’s skill was more sophisticated, but Long Tao’s avatar had a much larger Qi reserve. Hence the resultant force exerted from either of the attacks was the same. After around 10 exchanges, Long Tao decided that it was time to change the pace and hence utilized a special art called ” Blood Burst”.

It was a unique skill that he got during his promotion to the Qi King level. It allowed Long Tao and all his avatars to rapidly increase their strength for a very short period of time upon which he would be able to improve both his offensive and defensive skill by 30% at minimum.

The more intensely he uses the skill, the higher the enhancement he receives. As a result, he would have to expend a higher amount of blood essence too, but for Long Tao, it wasn’t an issue. The primary reason was the body cultivation art he practiced. His body’s potential has been refined so many times that his healing abilities were otherworldly.

Yan Soba managed to defend against the attacks by burning his own essence blood, but the difference in their state soon became visible. Yan Soba’s face was growing pale as they continued since the amount of essence blood his body carried was limited. The avatar on the other hand had the help of the artifact and ten other figures on the same level as him.

“It is shameful to see that I need to fight a battle of persistence with an enemy of the same realm as me. I have so many cultivation achievements yet they somehow manage to match my strength with some sort of tricks. I guess I will have to start researching body refining and cultivation arts present with various powers too. Only by cultivating those would I be able to completely suppress those in the same realm as me.”

He even possessed the Hell-heaven Body and Element King body.

“It is a given that martial arts application is practically endless. Humans thrive to reach new heights in their own way. Different people have different paths and as their achievement increases, so does their strength. If you truly want to be called an invincible entity in your realm, you need to achieve everything every other person has achieved in addition to reaching the apex of your own path in a stage.”

” If we properly go according to your cultivation procedure, you haven’t cultivated to the peak of Qi King yet. Your cultivation in Hell-Forging Sutra and Hell-King Sutra hasn’t reached its peak stage. They, on the other hand, have reached the peak of their respective cultivation paths. That is the reason they could fight with you.” The Keeper advised.

” I would suggest that you cultivate to the peak of Qi King first before concentrating on Body refining arts which other sects practice in. Remember that your own path is of prime importance.” The keeper said.

Long Tao nodded. His mind was finally clear about his objective in the near future. Before the Royal Road officially begins, he would make sure that he has cultivated to the peak of Qi King and officially reached the peak of beginner Qi Emperor level after completing all the requirements according to his cultivation path.

In the real world-

” Dark-Phoenix Hell-Fire Arts: Fire Sword Conjure”

“Fire Slashing the world”

The attack was so powerful that the atmosphere itself felt as if it was being devoured by the huge dark sword conjured out of the fire. Long Tao knew that he couldn’t hold back any longer. he had to use one of the strongest moves he currently possesses.

“Dominator’s Fist, 4th movement: World Destroyer Punch”

“Floating Dragon STeps: Straight Dash”

“Flash Steps”

The two powers clashed with each other and the entire stage was engulfed by the resultant explosion. It was so powerful that the entire stage was cracked and the guards and elders from Hun Manor had to come forward to erect a barrier that could hold in the energy from the explosion within the bounds so that the audience stand is not destroyed.

Everyone was on their feet in anticipation of the result. They wanted to know which of the two geniuses remained standing. As the dust settled, two figures became visible. Both were heavily injured and their bodies were shaking. They were staring at each other for a moment before Yan Soba opened his mouth.

” Thank you for not holding back.” His figure fell on its knees while blood poured out of his mouth. The avatar looked towards him for a second, before he made a surprising move. He bowed to Yan Soba’s injured figure.

‘Thank you for making me aware of my own Lacunae. I look forward to fighting with you in the future.” It was the first time this arrogant figure had shown such respect in the competition. It alone spoke about Yan Soba’s strength. Representatives from the Dark-Phoenix sect rushed to the stage to feed multiple pills to Yan Soba and ingest his energy to stabilize his injury. He looked at the avatar with complicated eyes.

‘When he wakes up, convey my regards to him and tell him, I will come to your sect in future to ask for a fight once I break through the hell emperor realm.” The representative nodded and the avatar stepped down from the stage. The judge came forward to announce the results.

The first finalist has been determined.
