Chapter 326: Chapter 163: Beat Them Into Submission (Part 2)

’An unexpected windfall!’

’But why does this name sound so much like the Thunderbolt Sword Technique?’

’Could they be connected?’

’Copy!’

Zhao Rui chose to copy without a moment’s hesitation.

Seeing Zhao Rui effortlessly block his Thunderbolt Palm Technique, the man’s heart sank. His hand movements didn’t slow down; in fact, they grew even faster.

His Thunderbolt Palm was incredibly fast. Once executed, the Palm Technique flickered like lightning, changing unpredictably in an instant.

Zhao Rui thrust out both palms, and powerful streams of True Qi erupted, forming into masses of Dragon-shaped True Qi.

A faint dragon’s roar could be heard amid the whistling wind from his palms.

The spectating team members stared at Zhao Rui, their faces etched with horror and disbelief.

’He can actually produce Dragon-shaped True Qi, and it even comes with a dragon’s roar!’

’What kind of level is that?’

It wasn’t just the spectators; the man on the receiving end was also horrified.

He had already reached the Third Level of the True Essence Realm and had vaguely touched upon the mysteries of the Divine Void Realm.

’Could he be in the Divine Void Realm?’

The thought had barely formed before the man pushed it down.

’How could someone so young be at that level? Besides, even if he is in the Divine Void Realm, I’ll challenge him today regardless.’

With that thought, his palm speed didn’t decrease. Instead, it accelerated even more.

The spectators could only faintly make out the afterimages of his Palm Technique, completely unable to track the path of his strikes.

’Not bad speed!’

Zhao Rui sneered, instantly switching from the Dragon Subduing Palm to the Profound Yin Sword Pointing. Streams of True Qi shot out, each strike aimed at the very core of his opponent’s Palm Force.

No matter how his opponent’s Palm Force shifted, the speed of Zhao Rui’s finger strikes, with just a flick of the wrist, kept pace with his attack speed.

The two exchanged blows in a flurry of motion. In the blink of an eye, they had traded nearly fifty techniques.

"Coach Lu, what are you doing? Stop this at once!"

Just then, two people rushed out of the office building, shouting at the two combatants.

One was a square-faced man with thick eyebrows, around fifty years old. The other was a Daoist.

These two were none other than Wang Huansheng, the Dean of Zizhou University’s Martial Arts Academy, and Daoist Zhang.

As for the man fighting Zhao Rui, he was, without a doubt, Coach Lu of the Martial Arts Team.

Hearing Dean Wang’s shout, a cold smile touched Zhao Rui’s lips.

’You started this, and now you want to stop it? Too late!’

Zhao Rui switched from his finger technique back to his palm. He unleashed streams of Dragon Subduing True Qi, the boundless Palm Force creating shackles of Spatial Force.

While not a true spatial lock, the confinement stagnated the surrounding Spiritual Qi and warped the trajectory of incoming force. Its effect was nearly identical to a genuine spatial binding.

Coach Lu’s Thunderbolt Palm was fast, but it lacked Force. Within moments, its speed was suppressed by the Dragon Subduing Palm.

He could no longer accelerate and attack with the same wild abandon as before.

Coach Lu’s face turned deathly pale. He knew he had bitten off more than he could chew.

’The Dragon-Slaying Palm Force... it’s this powerful?’

He was in a predicament now, like riding a tiger and unable to dismount. He had no choice but to brace himself and press the attack.

’Copy progress: fifty percent!’

After copying for a bit, Zhao Rui lost interest in the martial art.

’It’s just a speed-focused martial art with no unique properties. A far cry from the Thunderbolt Sword Technique.’

He decided to end the fight then and there.

The late-arriving Daoist Zhang had a discerning eye. He could tell with a single glance that Coach Lu’s defeat was inevitable.

But Coach Lu couldn’t afford to lose right now.

He was the head coach of the Martial Arts University, after all. If he were so easily defeated, how could he maintain his authority?

At that moment, Daoist Zhang called out, "Fellow Daoist, please stay your hand!"

And with his horsetail whisk in hand, he charged forward.

His attack wasn’t aimed at Zhao Rui. Instead, he used the whisk to sweep away the Dragon-Slaying Palm Force surrounding Coach Lu.

He was helping him break free from the confinement and escape the battle.

"What? Are we taking turns?"

Zhao Rui sneered. His palm Technique abruptly changed, and a powerful current of Cold Ice True Qi instantly billowed out.

It formed a river of ice, which rapidly froze into a glacial torrent that surged toward Coach Lu.

"Ice Palm Force?"

Daoist Zhang’s face fell. No longer caring about his pride, he closed the distance and unleashed a heavy, powerful Mount Tai Pressing Down, striking the glacial torrent head-on.

He forcibly shattered the Ice Seal Power to pieces.

’Nice one!’

Zhao Rui raised an eyebrow. ’This old Daoist’s techniques are impressive, and his perception is sharp.’

’A worthy opponent, indeed.’

He immediately sent a palm strike toward him.

Elder Zhang’s expression was grim. He had only intended to suppress his opponent long enough to rescue Coach Lu.

He hadn’t expected to fail, let alone to be dragged into the fight himself.

’His Power is incredible.’

He immediately focused one hundred and twenty percent of his energy on dealing with Zhao Rui’s attacks.

The tables had turned.

’Discoverable Martial Arts detected: Dai Zongfu How. Copy?’

’Discoverable Martial Arts detected: Mount Tai Pressing Down. Copy?’

’Could this old Daoist be from the Taishan Sect?’

After copying the prompted Martial Arts, Zhao Rui grew suspicious of the old Daoist’s identity.

"Fellow Daoist, do not be angered! Please, listen to what I have to say!"

"I’ll talk after I’ve beaten you!"

’I don’t care if he’s from the Taishan Sect or not. He struck first, so he can’t blame me for being merciless.’

As for copying the Martial Arts, that wasn’t Zhao Rui’s priority right now.

His mind made up, ice formed in his left hand and flames blazed from his right. In an instant, a dual power of ice and fire surged forth, striking toward the two men.

The moisture condensed by the Ice Power was instantly vaporized by the heat from his other palm, transforming into a scalding wave of steam that billowed outward.

Before the attack even reached him, Coach Lu was so frightened that he hastily shielded his body with True Qi and scrambled to dodge.

But Zhao Rui wasn’t about to let him get away. Using Star Stepping Extreme Flash, he instantly appeared behind him. He struck out with both palms, leaving two clear handprints on his back in an instant.
