Bab 34: Chapter 34 - Aric Vs Lei Fang (Current Holy Son)
The matches continued in a whirlwind of action, and soon it was Aric's turn once again. This time, he was facing Tian Wei, one of the Lei family's geniuses. Tian Wei had reached the Core Formation stage at the age of 25 and was now 27, standing at the 6th stage of Core Formation. The crowd buzzed with excitement and anticipation as the two fighters stepped into the arena.
People believed that Aric is in Nascent Soul Realm and he was considered a prodigy as he did it at the age of 20 years. However, nobody knew that he had actually reached the Spirit Severing Realm. In the fight against Jarod, everybody saw Aric's power and they felt that he must have special means due to which he was able to block the power of Spirit Severing Realm but still many people were unaware about it.
On the other hand, the audience buzzed with excitement as the bets were placed.
"Tian Wei is a prodigy. Reaching the 6th stage of Core Formation at his age is no small feat," one spectator said.
"But Aric has been unstoppable. Did you see how he defeated Jarod? This match will be interesting," another replied.
Tian Wei, confident and composed, addressed Aric as they squared off. "You've had an impressive run, Aric, but it ends here. I won't go down as easily as the others."
Aric smirked, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Bold words, Tian Wei. Let's see if you can back them up."
As the gong sounded, Tian Wei immediately went on the offensive. "Mountain Crushing Fist!" he yelled, his fist glowing with earth energy as he aimed a powerful punch at Aric.
Aric sidestepped effortlessly, his movements a blur. "Shadow Step," he muttered, disappearing from Tian Wei's sight and reappearing behind him. He struck with "Phantom Strike," shadows enveloping his form as he launched multiple attacks.
Tian Wei barely managed to block the first few strikes with "Iron Wall Technique," a defensive skill that hardened his skin. However, Aric was relentless, each strike precise and powerful.
Aric had bought another skill called Lighting Palm from the system after seeing how effective it was against Jarod. He wanted to test it out and this fight seemed a good place for it.
"Lightning Palm!" Aric shouted, his palm crackling with electric energy. He thrust it forward, breaking through Tian Wei's defenses and sending him sprawling to the ground.
The crowd erupted in gasps and cheers. "Did you see that? Aric's speed and precision are unmatched," someone exclaimed.
"I had my money on Tian Wei, but Aric is just too strong," another admitted.
Aric stood over Tian Wei, who was struggling to get up. "Three moves. I told you, it was a piece of cake," Aric said, his voice cold and detached.
Tian Wei looked up, a mix of anger and defeat in his eyes. "You... you won't get away with this," he muttered, but the fight was already over.
Aric left the arena, the crowd still buzzing with excitement and admiration. "He's unstoppable," someone in the crowd said. "There's no way anyone can beat him now."
Aric continued to dominate the competition, defeating his opponents with ease. Each match was a display of his superior skill and strategy. Finally, he reached the finals.
On the other hand, Lei Fang appeared as an indomitable force to others. He remained victorious in all his matches and reached the finals with ease.
Aric now was one step away from becoming the Holy Son. And soon, it was the time for the finale.
The arena was packed, and the air was electric with anticipation. This was the match everyone had been waiting for: Aric Lei vs. Lei Feng, the current Holy Son and a figure of great renown within the Lei family.
"I can't believe it's finally happening. Aric vs. Lei Feng!" one spectator exclaimed.
"Lei Feng has held the title for five years. This is going to be epic," another replied.
Bets were placed frantically. "I have all my money on Aric. He's been unstoppable," someone said.
"Lei Feng is in the Spirit Severing Realm. Don't underestimate him," another cautioned.
Lei Feng, in the early stages of the Spirit Severing Realm, stepped into the arena with an aura of confidence and power. "Aric Lei, you've proven yourself formidable. But today, you face a true master."
Aric, unfazed, replied, "Titles and reputation mean nothing. Today, only strength matters."
The gong sounded, and the final match began. The crowd held its breath, watching as the two titans clashed in a battle that would determine the strongest in the Lei family.
Lei Feng began with "Divine Sun Strike," a powerful move that summoned a radiant beam of light aimed directly at Aric. Aric countered with "Shadow Veil," shrouding himself in darkness and avoiding the attack.
The arena was a flurry of light and shadow, each fighter showcasing their best techniques. Lei Feng's "Celestial Blade" clashed with Aric's "Eclipsing Shadow Blade," creating shockwaves that rattled the spectators.
"This is unbelievable! They're both so powerful," someone in the crowd exclaimed.
"Aric's holding his own against Lei Feng. This is incredible," another agreed.
The fight raged on, each move more intense than the last. Aric had already used his Thunderstrike Talisman against Jarod, but he had other tricks up his sleeve. He activated his "Phantom Strike," creating multiple afterimages that surrounded Lei Feng.
Lei Feng, momentarily disoriented, was hit by a series of rapid strikes. Aric followed up with "Eclipse Barrage," a torrent of shadowy blades that converged on Lei Feng from all directions.
The crowd erupted in cheers as Lei Feng struggled to keep up. "Aric's going to win this! I can't believe it!" someone shouted.
But the match wasn't over yet.
It has just begun.
