Capítulo 11: Dragon Spirit
Everyone in the garden couldn’t believe what they had heard. With Xiaolin Lun’s condition, the sparring session was not a friendly one anymore. Even if Leng San and Li Yeguan were to switch places, the party not allowed to respond to any attacks of the opponent would still be at a great disadvantage, despite having a qi that was six levels higher.
“This condition seems a bit…” Chun Jiangtu was about to intervene, but Xiaolin Lun raised his hand to stop him.
“You told me yourself that he received your attack that was imbued with all of your qi, uninjured. Li Yeguan’s qi is four levels weaker than your qi. It would not make sense if he couldn’t withstand Li Yeguan’s attacks. I just want to know whether his defensive qi is as strong as you’ve claimed it to be. If the session became too serious, I should be able to stop these kids, don’t you think?”
Chun Jiangtu could only nod. He helplessly looked at Leng San and remained silent.
Leng San frowned.
‘What a sly geezer. Within an incense stick, he wants me to show him all the cards I have. Currently, with my weak qi, I couldn’t use the Mountain Dragon Qi for the whole duration of the sparring session, so I will drill it into his head, the fact that I love to take on challenges more than anything in the world!!’
“Start the session!!” Xiaolin Lun held up his hand as a signal
“Little Brother Leng, please pardon me.”
“Elder Brother Li, I’m ready.”
Li Yeguan dispersed his indigo aura. The ray of his qi might be weak in the eyes of people with stronger qi, but for Leng San, it was several times stronger than his qi!! Li Yeguan took a glance at Leng San, who was standing still without a care in the world. He then realized that his opponent had not even transitioned to a defensive stance!! Li Yeguan, infuriated, approached Leng San with all he had. Leng San reacted by crossing his arms to the back, smirked, and circulated his qi to execute an advanced light-body technique.
‘The second of the Five Leng Clan’s Techniques, Dragon Spirit!!’
Li Yeguan, threw his punch, imbued with all of his qi, at Leng San’s chest, as if he planned to end the fight right at this moment to demonstrate the difference in the level of their qi.
Whoooshh!!
The sound that Li Yeguan’s punch created wasn’t the sound of collision with a human body, but it was the sound of someone punching an empty void!! Leng San’s body disappeared right before his eyes. Everyone was visibly stupefied. Xiaolin Lun and Chun Jiangtu’s eyes were wide open. Certainly, the one to be the most surprised was Li Yeguan, his eyes almost popped out!!
Li Yeguan instantly withdrew his punch and hastily looked right and left. But what he saw was Leng San who was still in the same stance, at the same location!! With his arms crossed back, Leng San looked at Li Yeguan, his smirk unfaded. Li Yeguan then flicked his right foot at Leng San to continue his attack, but like a recurring nightmare, Leng San’s body disappeared again. Once he withdrew his foot, Leng San reappeared at the exact same spot, as if he was not moving even a step. Li Yeguan moved backward with eyes wide open to recollect his mind. Even Xiaolin Lun, who had the highest level of blue qi, rubbed his eyes out of disbelief. He just couldn’t find an explanation for the phenomena he had just witnessed.
‘Advanced light-body technique!! How did this kid easily pull off this high-level technique? Miraculous!! He avoided Li Yeguan’s attack and returned to the same spot in the blink of an eye.’
Li Yeguan was still terrified, but this trial was held to select the representative of the village, a chance to make a name for himself. He couldn’t afford to miss this opportunity. Li Yeguan ground his teeth and darted towards his opponent again. Countless techniques he pulled just went through Leng San’s body, as if he was attacking a vengeful spirit. For Li Yeguan, the more he tried to attack Leng San, the paler his face became, as if all of his blood had been sucked out. He retreated and slowly raised his trembling hand to point his finger at Leng San.
“Y...yo...you are not a human!!” Li Yeguan trembled, his eyes were bulging out.
All witnesses had their mouths hanging open, with eyes about to pop out. They were stupefied once again. Li Yeguan, who possessed the first level of the indigo qi which was six levels higher, couldn’t even touch the tip of Leng San’s hair!!
Leng San cupped his hands, slightly bowed, and smiled with the corner of his mouth.
“Elder Brother Li, I think it would be a waste of time for our spectators to wait for an incense stick. Let’s decide who’s the winner in one more move. I will not avoid your attack. If I move just half a step, you will be the winner. But… if I’m lucky? Please gracefully accept your defeat.”
Li Yeguan knew it too well that his martial arts could not keep up with Leng San’s speed. In his heart, he was ninety percent sure that he had been defeated. But he was confident that a confrontation with his qi that was six levels higher than Leng San’s would be the only chance left, so it would be stupid to refuse Leng San’s offer.
“Alright, get ready!!”
“Rock-Smashing Kick!! Yarrgghhh!!”
Li Yeguan jumped high above Leng San’s head, raised his foot, and flicked his ankle with one hundred percent of his qi. This was his last and only chance. He used all the power he had. If Leng San was injured after this attack, he intended to apologize later.
But how would it turn out that way...
Leng San slightly bent his body and raised his right hand to receive the kick. He pushed his left hand onto the surface of the earth. Both of the boy’s arms made a straight line perpendicular to the ground.
‘Ocean-Shifting Dragon!!’
Boom!!
Loud noise resonated throughout the area, and clouds of dust were swept up into the air. After the fog of dust dissipated, everyone’s eyes were fixed on both of them. Leng San was still in his former stance, his right hand was still holding Li Yeguan’s foot, the ground beneath him cracked, five fingers of his left hand had disappeared into the indent.
This morning, Leng San’s meridians had sustained some injuries from overexertion by using the Ocean-Shifting Dragon to receive an attack imbued with qi that was more than one stage higher than his. However, it was different this time, as a difference of only six levels was within the range that his meridians could take in without sustaining any injuries like the first time. Leng San gracefully hopped one step backward, cupped his hands, and slightly bowed, the corner of his mouth was slightly tugged up as usual.
“Thank you for going easy on me, Elder Brother Li.”
