บท 266: Chapter 259: I'm not cheating!
"Ahh! Help!" one of the participant screamed tragically as he was targeted by Wang Dong and got grabbed by the leg.
BAM!
The man was sent flying towards the other participants, causing them to stumble down like dominoes.
Taking a peek at his back, Wang Dong thought to himself, "Just who in the world is that fellow?" as he replayed the previous encounter with Duan Li in his mind. He could still feel the shivers all around his body!
It was fortunate that I acted quickly, otherwise, it would be a shame for me to be defeated so early in the competition without beating some people first..
"Guys, we need to gang up on him!" a man shouted as he rallied six people around him. In this competition, although the format for the first stage was a battle royale, against tougher opponents, it makes sense for others to form a temporary alliance in order to win and for their mutual benefits.
At this sight, Wang Dong threw them a mocking laugh. "Hahahaha! You guys must be looking down on me! Come on then! Let me show you guys what a true martial art is!"
After he finished with that hearty laugh, his disposition immediately changed 180 degrees as his face turned serious. His eyes flashed with a wild look in it. Then, he chanted his martial arts stance with a deep voice;
Stance of the Twin Mountain!
CRACK!
With a single change of stance, his whole body weight seemed to press onto the round platform causing it to crack like cobwebs!
Six Steps of Crouching Tiger!
As he deployed this martial technique, his feet moved into a series of blurry image as he dashed forward like a mad tiger!
Whoosh!
Fist of the North-East Star!
BAM!!
Although the direction of the punch was straightforward, it seemed to curve slightly before eventually hitting everyone either on their face, ribs or stomach. Even when they tried to defend against it, to their surprise, the initial trajectory of the fist would randomly change causing their defense to become useless!
Seeing this, waves of excitement and cheering came from the crowd as they chanted his name!
"Go Little Wang Dong! Go Little Wang Dong!"
Puuu!
"Go your little Wang Dong your head!" Wang Dong spurted out his saliva as he cursed out in his mind when he misheard this. To him, it was as if the audience was praising his little brother down there for being small.
Besides, my body is big, how did I even git the nickname of 'Little'!
...
On the other round platform, two participants were having a casual conversation with each other in the middle of their fight.
"Hmph! While his appearance is like that of a barbarian, his moves are at least good." Ling Shin commented as he slapped his opponent straight into the dream world with a 'padah' sound.
"I'm even more intrigued about that new guy, his name seems to be Duan Li." Ruo Hen that was currently dodging his enemy attacks effortlessly with his hairs swaying left and right in style, bringing about a series of cheers from the ladies, said.
They were both at the Late stage of the Core Formation realm and thus, their opponents were all in the same stage as well. However, other than a few people around, the rest were completely not a match for them!
To the audience, this was a completely cool spectacle, so they cheered loudly.
Similar scene was also happening right now on the round platform where the Pinnacle stage of the Core Formation realm participants were battling with each other. In fact, the cheering was even louder as each participant on this stage were real martial arts expert thorough and thorough!
This was especially the case with Zhang Liao and Lu Bu, whom were students from the Wei and Qin Empire respectively. The moment they made a move, as if a phantom, they become untouchable!
"Did you see that punch?" Zhang Liao said to Lu Bu with an intrigued look.
"Pretty much. That's some deadly fist right there, unless one were to redirect the massive force to the ground directly after being hit, they would definitely suffer some serious injuries." Lu Bu replied casually.
...
"Well, my previous estimate seems to be spot on.." Duan Li cupped his chin as he thought for his next course of action.
Ten percent of my power is too much for the others here to handle, therefore..
Duan Li suddenly got an idea as he nodded.
"Yeah, I think this should work!" deciding on this, he quickly locked onto a participant nearby that was fighting with another participant.
Taking a deep stance, he then threw a punch forward.
BAM!
A strong force immediately formed as it split open the air, bringing about intense gale before hitting the participant that he targeted.
"Ahh! Damn it! Who dares to attack me from the back? Come out!" the person bellowed as he paused their fights and looked around. To his surprise, there was no one behind him!
What the heck is going on here?
BAM!
He got another attack right onto his left rib as he spurted out blood. This time though, he was able to see from where the attacks came from.
"It's you?!" he shouted out as his face darkened. Turning around to the emcee that was floating above them, he angrily said;
"You damned emcee! Are you blind? Don't you see that he was using a fist art on me? Hurry up and disqualify him!"
The emcee then shook his head before replying, "No dear participant, that was just a normal punch!"
Puu!
This motherf*cker!
Do you think that I am a fool?! How could a mere punch develop such a phenomenon unless one were to infuse it with their spiritual Qi?!
Seeing that the participant was about to lash out some more, the emcee quickly added, "It's true, if you don't believe me dear participant, then why not we do this? Participant Duan Li, could you demonstrate that punch again, but this time onto me?"
Duan Li was surprised at this suggestion, but since he didn't want anyone to think that he was cheating, he swiftly nodded and complied.
BAM!
Before the force of the punch could even reach the emcee, it dissipated into thin air, causing the spectator to gasp in confusion.
The emcee then chuckled, "If that was a fist art, not to mention me, even at your stage dear participant, you would surely detect the hints of spiritual Qi at the last moment when that force dissipates."
Upon hearing this answer, the crowd swiftly broke out into a series of "oohh.." in realization.
However, the participant was still not satisfied with this explanation. In his opinion, martial art competition should be a hand-to-hand combat, and launching a powerful punch that could hit someone from a distance like that was no different from cheating!
Just as he was about to refute further, a swift barrage of punches landed on him, causing him to get blown out of the ring and got disqualified as his consciousness blanked out. It was Duan Li who did it.
"Since I'm not cheating, can I continue what I've been doing now?" he turned to ask the emcee.
"Yes of course, there was no breach of rules in your part, so you can continue on!" the emcee replied with a smile.
With this confirmation from the emcee, Duan Li clasped his fists together as a show of gratitude towards the other party before dashing straight into the fray. Not long later, countless number of participants could be seen flying all over from his punches.
"..." the audience and the emcee.
Now that we took a closer look, that does seems like cheating..
