Martial Research Master-Chapter 250

250 DOMINANCE

“The two of you could go ahead. I would like to face him alone. I don’t want him complaining about excessive bullying.” Chu Xiao spoke to the other two.

“What makes you think we want to team up to fight against him?” A contender from Third-ranked Thunder-god hall spoke up. The representative of the third thunder-god hall smiled on the wisdom of their representative. This sentence alone saved them a lot of faces.

“I guess my earlier statement hit a nerve, but all I said was true. The last round is a waste of time for me. Just come at me with your strongest attack.” Li Meng’s expression was extremely serious. The whole atmosphere turned awkward because of this. They didn’t expect Li Meng to be confident in his strength.

“I will test him out first. It would be the best way to shatter his confidence.” A contender from the first ranked Thunder-god hall spoke up. He stepped forward and looked at Li Meng.

“I accept my inferiority to you in the areas of talent and comprehension, but I am confident in the strength I have cultivated with all these years of hard work.” His name was Li Muyan. A pair of curved swords appeared in his hands, as visible threads of thunder started appearing all around his body.

Li Muyan rushed towards Li Meng with all his power. It was time to show this brat just how powerful he was. Li Muyan had trained in the arts of the sword since his childhood and practiced a set of vicious thunder sword skills. The first sword cleaved down on Li Meng’s head, and he simply dodged it with a sideways motion.

Li Muyan laughed after looking at this activity as if he was waiting for this opportunity. The second blade cleaved horizontally from its location. The skill used surprised everyone. Wasn’t he a thunder sword art practitioner, yet his other sword showcased another set of sword art?

“The boy is impressive. He not only learned the Thunder sword act to its pinnacle level but also managed to gain comprehension in another sword art of equal prowess. Do any of you gentleman recognize this art?” The elder in charge spoke up. All the representatives present were thinking about their past encounters.

“The art is called the flowing river.” The boy spoke up.

.....

“Would you mind explaining its origin to us?”

“I hope you people have heard about the Aquarius academy. One of their core arts is named Water-mist sword. The origin is said to be quite grand, and only those who are extremely compatible with it could practice the art. The art is divided into 9 volumes and the flowing river art is the first volume of that art.”

“How did this guy get his hands on such a grand art?”

“A lucky encounter is the best explanation for this phenomenon. What surprised me is his ability to execute it with such perfection. The water-mist sword is said to be a special category art which requires the practitioner to possess a high-grade water elemental physique. Also, it requires a high comprehension of sword intent to execute the first volume.”

“I recognize the thunder sword art. It is one of the derived arts from Heaven-Tearing Thunder sword. Even the derived arts require practitioners to have a high-grade thunder body.”

“The body is a dual elemental body holder. The academy seems to have scored big time.” The representative spoke up.

“I guess Li Meng would have learnt his place by now.” The elder spoke while looking at the boy

...........................

Li Meng paused at a short distance from the practitioner. “Is this the best display of your power?”

“Are you still trying to act tough in front of me?” Li Muyan spoke up.

“I guess a demo is required to make things clear.” Li Meng raised his hands and a sword appeared in it. It was a king ranked sword which he gained from the Heaven Cleaving sect’s treasury. He initiated the art of the white Dragon emperor and cleaved at Li Muyan. There was no use of intent, just pure Qi.

Li Muyan ignored the attack previously because of a lack of intent in it, but his eyes were soon filled with shock. The Qi which constituted the attack gave him a dangerous feeling. He raised his sword and executed the flowing river to guard against it.

The two attacks collided, and Li Meng’s attack directly penetrated through Li Muyan’s attack and hit his body. Li Muyan was pushed back with great force, he finally managed to gain his foothold just near the edge of the stage. He looked at Li Meng with shock in his eyes.

“Do you understand the difference between our strengths?” Li Meng asked.

......................

The three participants were shocked by this display of power by Li Meng. He simply raised his hands and signalled to them to rush at him at the same time. The guy from the first ranked Thunder-god hall was pissed by this display. He instantly rushed out with his spear.

A similar set of events repeated itself. Li Meng just dodged the spear and cleaved his sword back at him. He didn’t use any sword intent this time either. The sword clashed with the spear and a clang was heard. Although the guy managed to turn his spear to guard against the strike, the momentum was too great for him to handle.

Li Muyan rushed at Li Meng at the same time. He cleaved his sword towards Li Meng’s back. He simply clenched his fist and pushed towards Li Muyan. He operated the Strikes of Thunderous palms this time.

Two figures blasted away from the same location in front of thousands of eyes. The audience couldn’t help but cheer. This was absolute dominance over the battlefield. Li Muyan’s injury was much graver than that of the other guy since he took the direct hit of a high-grade art.

Chu Xiao was looking at the scene with surprise. She never imagined Li Meng’s prowess to be so high.

“Are you going to rush over or shall I finish the first? None of you three stands a chance to even contend against me for ten moves. Just come to me together. It might be the best chance you have in winning this round.”

The three figures looked at each other and nodded. They understood that the opponent this time was just too powerful for them to handle alone. They rushed at him together. Chu Xiao utilized the Strike of Thunderous palms, which she comprehended from it, while Li Muyan used both his sword art in succession.

Li Meng simply raised his sword to guard against the twin sword attack, while using his other palm to tackle Chu Xiao. It was at this moment that a spear appeared out of thin air, directly striking Li Meng’s abdomen.

While Li Muyan was pushed back, Chu Xiao was completely overpowered and blasted away. The spear guy on the other hand could only feel shocked. Although his spear made contact with Li Meng’s body, he felt like it had stroked a dense metal. Li Meng was standing right there, looking at the guy.

He was unfazed by a direct attack from the opponent’s spear. Just how powerful was his physique.
