Chapter 99: Tempting Fate (II)

“Take it out. Don’t try to trick me. The lightning wood can be used repeatedly for many times.” Wu Yunsheng swept his gaze across the small piece of charred wood that was casually thrown onto the grass.

It was impossible for a precious treasure like the lightning wood to be treated like this.

He felt that the small piece of charred wood must be a fragment of a big tree that had been struck by lightning.

“It’s right there. If you have the ability, come and get it yourself.” Chen Yiming pointed at the small piece of charred wood.

After using up all the lightning power stored in it, the lightning wood had become no different from an ordinary piece of wood.

Other than its charred appearance, which indicated that it had been struck by lightning not long ago, there were no other distinguishing features.

“Do you think I’m just a three-year-old kid who can be deceived so easily?” Wu Yunsheng asked coldly. He didn’t believe Chen Yiming’s words at all.

“I told you the truth, but you don’t believe me,” Chen Yiming said with a smile as he revealed his empty hands.

“Seems like you want to do this the hard way. You’re asking for it!”

As he was speaking, Wu Yunsheng crossed more than 10 meters in an instant and appeared right in front of Chen Yiming. He threw a punch straight at his face.

“Bang!”

Two fists collided.

Chen Yiming only used the strength from his arm muscles, while Wu Yunsheng used the stacked fist force from the Tongbeiquan technique.

The strength from his muscles exploded, instantly breaking the force from Wu Yunsheng’s punch.

“Again!”

Wu Yunsheng’s expression did not change. He was a warrior candidate who had broken through to the ninth transformation more than three years ago.

He believed that even if Chen Yiming used the lightning wood to forcefully break through to the same level as him, his combat experience in this realm would definitely not be comparable to his.

He retracted his arm and quickly punched towards the front. The moment he encountered an obstruction, he repeated his action and retracted his fist.

He repeated this action more than 10 times in a short period of time. It was equivalent to swinging more than 10 punches in the short span of time, and more than 10 fist forces were accumulated and released at the same time.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The two of them exchanged two blows at lightning speed, neither of them taking a step back.

Chen Yiming only used one punch to block the attack, while Wu Yunsheng used the finishing move of the Tongbeiquan technique.

The continuous collisions of their fists created shockwaves that spread out in all directions.

After completing a round of the finishing move, Wu Yunsheng’s face was filled with surprise. His opponent had been very calm the entire time, while he felt a dull pain in his fist.

This was a sign that his body was not as strong as his opponent’s.

“You…” Wu Yunsheng could not calm down.

How could his physical strength be inferior to a person who had just broken through?

In a fight at the same level, once one was at a disadvantage in terms of basic physical abilities, there was a high chance that one would eventually lose.

This was because the weaker party would use up more energy with every move. After a few hundred rounds, there would definitely be a clear difference in their stamina.

Chen Yiming hadn’t used his full strength. He had only been toying with his opponent to make him feel the pain of defeat.

The strength of his body had undergone a qualitative transformation when he broke through from a warrior candidate to the warrior realm.

After that, he had relied on the lightning power from his internal force to temper his body during his daily cultivation.

Finally, he had just added a Level-1 Undying Body talent, which greatly modified his body. Naturally, his physical strength was also increasing.

Therefore, his physical strength was at least several levels higher than Wu Yunsheng’s. The difference between the two of them was like that between an adult and a child.

They exchanged a few more blows.

Wu Yunsheng used all his strength, but his opponent did not get pushed back at all. After failing again, he decisively retreated more than 10 meters away.

At this moment, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. This was a situation that he had not encountered for many years.

He felt like retreating, and cursed at his opponent for having such a freakish body. He had just broken through and was already stronger than him.

Chen Yiming didn’t chase after him. Instead, he stopped in his tracks and thought to himself,?“I didn’t even ask for your name. Why are you trying to escape?”

“Come over if you have the ability. I’ll fight you anytime,” Wu Yunsheng said angrily.

He knew that his plan to snatch the lightning wood had failed, and with it his plan to kill the other party at the Stone Ring Reservoir had also failed.

This was because when experts exchanged blows, it only took a few rounds to determine the opponent’s strength.

However, a warrior candidate was not like others in the disciple realm. After nine transformations, his body was stronger than steel.

If one side wanted to escape, they would have to exhaust all their energy to do so. It was easy to injure them, but difficult to kill them. Therefore, he wasn’t afraid of Chen Yiming.

“It seems like you really want to die.” Chen Yiming smiled.

“I’ll fulfill your wish!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he soared into the sky and crossed a distance of more than 10 meters in one step, aiming his fist straight at Wu Yunsheng.

“Bang!”

Wu Yunsheng used all his strength to meet the punch head-on without holding back at all.

This time, the same thing happened again. Wu Yunsheng’s fist force was broken at once, and a seemingly ordinary force from his opponent’s fist exploded.

As the eldest senior brother of the Tongbeiquan School, Wu Yunsheng’s dignity did not allow him to retreat so easily. Therefore, he had to block this attack even if he was injured.

However, the reality was different from what he had imagined. The ordinary power did not weaken at all after breaking through his fist force.

The force traveled past the bones in his palm and into his arm, finally exploding at the point between his shoulder and chest.

“Crack, crack, crack…”

Wu Yunsheng’s entire arm was shattered on the spot.

He gritted his teeth and endured the pain without making a sound. His eyes were wide open and bloodshot. He had not expected this to happen.

They were clearly both warrior candidates, so why was Chen Yiming able to severely injure him with just one blow?

This question kept repeating in his mind, and he felt his mind go blank.

Could it be his innate talent?

However, if he had so much innate talent, why would Chen Yiming join the Mantis Snake Sword School?

Sword techniques did not usually increase one’s strength. This was completely illogical.

Wu Yunsheng was sent flying. His body crashed through three trees along the way before he fell to the ground.

Wu Yunsheng spat out a large mouthful of blood. He got up and turned to escape.

The gap between the two of them could not be overcome even if he fought to his death.

A thought surfaced in his mind,?“No, I’m the eldest senior brother of the school, the future head. How can I die here for no reason?”

Wu Yunsheng vomited blood with every few steps he took. Not only did he lose an arm, but his heart was also wounded by the excess force. The more he ran, the more he damaged his body.

Chen Yiming caught up to him in a few steps and stayed a few meters behind Wu Yunsheng.

“Should I kill him with a punch?” He was considering how to end this.

His opponent was a core disciple of the Tongbeiquan School. There was a huge difference between injuring him and killing him.

Although he was not afraid of the head of the Tongbeiquan School, it would be troublesome if he came knocking on his door.

If the other party wanted to bully the weak and decided to attack Chen Yiming, who was his junior, he would have no choice but to reveal his true cultivation level as a warrior.

All his previous efforts would be wasted.

After a moment of hesitation, a perfect solution flashed across his mind.

“Why should I be afraid of him? At most, after I kill him, I can just disguise myself and get rid of the head of the school first.”
