With the strength of an A-rank fighter, there was so much Lin Feng could do, but he did not attempt to suppress Wang Zheng – he let Wang Zheng do whatever he wanted to try. This showed Lin Feng’s strength. The Aslan people had a certain level of pride.
The ability to control the arrows to this extent was something acquired by Lin Feng in the recent two years. As a super soldier, he had to learn various abilities, from focused techniques to wide area techniques, and the technique of Thousand Arrows Piercing Heart came from Lin Feng’s no distinction battle strategy.
The moment the technique was used, it blinded everyone. It would be impossible to dodge an attack with so many arrows. This technique, which incorporated both Ability X and physical technique, was enough to defeat all SIG members present.
However, Wang Zheng smiled.
Facing the countless arrows, he did not dodge.
RUMBLE… Rumbling…
Nearly a fifth of the arrows blasted near him, causing the area around him to be filled with explosions. Even the pride of Aslan’s engineers was shattered to smithereens.
Instead of caring about the stage, they were more concerned about Wang Zheng.
Lin Feng was curious as well. Even though the attack couldn’t be evaded, since this attack was also meant to be a method to show off, it was impossible for Wang Zheng to just stand there.
Suddenly, the whole arena stirred… Countless expressions of shock could be heard.
The huge screen showed a close-up of Wang Zheng, and on his face was a smile. “Lin Feng, aren’t you underestimating me too much? A wide area attack like this, other than aesthetics, it’s not much of a use.”
The golden aura was radiating from Wang Zheng, and the attack by the arrows seemed to be useless.
What was different was that on the stage of finals, against an A-rank ability user, Wang Zheng had arrogance of the likes that was never seen before.
Lin Feng was stunned, and could not believe what he was hearing. He was being looked down on… and by a B-rank fighter…
Wang Zheng flew up. They locked gazes and sparks flew. Indeed, Lin Feng was very, very proud. An unrivaled genius with limitless resources, the effort that he had put in, experiencing countless challenges to obtain the strength he had today, the pride that he had was indescribable.
Wang Zheng was the same. Taking one step at a time to reach the point he was at today, the price he had to pay was far greater than Lin Feng’s. He never gave up and never admitted defeat. He could die standing, but never cower to live. The pride he had did not lose to Lin Feng’s.
Growling… Growling… Shing…
Wang Zheng vanished, then a golden ray lashed out and came in front of Lin Feng,
A punch lashed out, and Wang Zheng returned it with another punch.
Boom~~~~~~
Boom, boom, boom…
In mid air, both of them clashed, and each clash was explosive. The energy waves were felt everywhere. Both of them had the ability to use both Ability X and physical techniques together, and the golden aura was clearly the Five Elements, an even stronger energy. It was clear that Wang Zheng’s strong suit was physical techniques, but Lin Feng did not lose to him, and his aura was much more aggressive, and it felt that it could overwhelm Wang Zheng any time. However, for some reason, this did not happen.
Jondi Lilick was transfixed on the match, and a number of people were like him as they were not far from the two competitors. And what they were trying to pursue was to reach the current level of Wang Zheng and Lin Feng. What they would see from the both of them would allow Jondi Lilick and the rest to reach that level much faster.
Even Lear was transfixed on them. It has to be said that he was a meticulous person, as well as observant and able to bear patiently. Even though he looked down on them, after each match, he would closely analyze the match. Even after the matches were over, he would not rest easy, and as one of the losers, he was the only one that did not give up training and trying. He was indeed a strong person, and he had found peace in the past few days as well.
Lear did not feel that he had no talent. There had to be a difference between him and Wang Zheng, not to mention Lin Feng, who had the best resources, something which only Aslan could provide.
How about Wang Zheng?
The biggest difference could be the type of technique. Physical techniques were commonly found, and Wang Zheng must have had a miraculous encounter. To find out whether that was the truth was not possible. The Wang Zheng today was different from the Wang Zheng of the past. This made Lear realize something: the Ares Art that he had inherited is not strong enough!
This was the biggest problem. Lear was confident in his abilities and perseverance, but it seemed like he would have to seek out the Saints as they must have stronger techniques!
Finally, including Lear, a few people realized the problem. Lin Feng was not trying to be nice, as an A-rank would definitely overwhelm a B-rank. If Lin Feng was trying to test the waters, he would definitely not remain this nice after Wang Zheng’s counter. There was only one possibility: Lin Feng’s spiritual power was unable to suppress Wang Zheng.
Wang Zheng was now one with his spiritual power, with no vulnerabilities. The strength of spiritual power could only harass him, and was useless against Wang Zheng now. A-rank Ability X could allow for stronger attacks, such as Thousand Arrows Piercing Heart. It was a pity because, like Wang Zheng had said, this kind of attack had no effect on him. Wang Zheng’s physical techniques had surpassed everyone’s, but currently, it was not possible to know his level in physical techniques.
Lin Feng beat Wang Zheng in terms of spiritual power, but Wang Zheng’s mastery of physical techniques surpassed Lin Feng’s. This could not be observed but simply watching his moves, as they are merely the forms of the attacks. The true understanding of physical techniques wais on the inside, which referred to the understanding of the inner universe.
Wang Zheng had displayed this in his previous fights. Thanks to the fight with Dina Atlas, Wang Zheng was enlightened, and together with Charcoal’s teachings, it could be said that Wang Zheng was a different person. The improvements, however, were not obvious, as the rise of physical techniques occured in the past few years. From technology’s perspective, there was no method to measure its strength, and they relied on the judgment of Ability X.
Lin Feng remained confident as he believed in his vision and the resources possessed by the Aslan Empire. While Wang Zheng’s strength came from Charcoal’s judgment. He believed that while Charcoal may not have any strength, Charcoal was definitely not a liar, and his understanding and eye for physical techniques was definitely correct.
At the beginning, when changing the Primordial Regression Technique, Wang Zheng was still cautious about believing him, but now, as he understood the inner universe, he gained a better understanding about the origins of energy. He trusted that Charcoal was a good teacher, even though he may not be humble.
Bang…
Lin Feng’s strong spiritual explosions had some effect. Lin Feng was extremely smart – he had not used it before this, then he suddenly went all-out in one strike, and the difference made Wang Zheng’s entire body shudder and pause for a moment. Meanwhile, Lin Feng would definitely not miss out on this opportunity – he hit Wang Zheng’s chest with a clean strike. The attack shook the heavens and could be heard clearly by everyone. Wang Zheng’s body violently flew backwards, seeming like it would fly out of the arena.
