Chapter 26: Battle Ring
Chapter 26: Battle Ring
o currently, Yang Shi could only remember about medicinal plants and the effects of various pills. He can't concoct any pill, until he reached [ Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm].
" Ok, let's cast it aside for the time being. Now, let's work on the assassination project." Yang Shi rummaged through various martial arts. After much thinking, He finally thought to try a Heaven Grade martial art. He chose two martial arts to practice.
[1] Heaven Evasion Lightning Stealth Art.
[2] Supreme Tai Chi Battle art.
Heaven Evasion Lightning arts are the core technique of Formless Specter Sect of Earth. It's an ancient sect, Which was famous for its assassinations and spying arts. There were no organizations, Where Formless Specter sects members can't infiltrate. So, back in the old times, this sect was feared for its power.
Yang Shi chose this because it focuses on three things - Extreme Agility, Powerful Lethality, and Stealth. This art will be useful in the long run. And Yang Shi will be able to kill 50 people in two months of time. And the second technique [Taichi Supreme Battle art] is chosen because it will be camouflage for Yang Shi.
Earth's Tai Chi art is very precious because It allows the practitioner to control Yin and Yang energy. Controlling Yin and Yang energy in this world is very hard because of the laws of this world. Yin and Yang are the most primitive energy, Which birth after Primordial Chaos. One can only sense such a higher level of energy if they are in [Origin Core Realm] or they have a special body. But not only Yang Shi have a special body but also have a cheat like Supreme Tai Chi Battle art.
Yang Shi wanted to control Yang energy because Yang energy is the higher form of flame energy. If one can master Yang energy, Controlling Fire element will be easy. Alchemy and Blacksmithing is all about controlling the flame. And because Yang Shi also cultivated [ Origin Chaos Energy Art] which has the most primitive energy, Controlling Yin and Yang energy will be easier. So in other words, [Origin Chaos Energy Art] and [Supreme Tai Chi Battle art.] complement each other.
" Huuuu." Time to practice [Heaven Evasion Lightning Stealth Art]. It has three segments.
(1) Myriad Ghost Steps.- It's an agility type technique. Whether its Assassin, Spy, or Thief, The first thing they have to learn is- How to escape.
Myriad Ghost steps allows one to move like a ghost. Nobody will able to sense the presence of the person. It speed also extremely fast and able to evade others.
(2) Swift Shadow Slash - For an assassin, the most important thing is its attack. The rule of assassination is- Kill the victim in one swift strike, if not, hide again. Swift Shadow Slash is a technique, Which amplifies the attack power of the weapon. The attack will come like lightning and vanish like smoke. Even in the last moment, the Victim will unable to know, What had happened.
It has only three styles, but each style is full of lethality.
(3) Specter Merging- This art enables the user to limit the body functions. It helps the user to remain hidden in one place. Like the person has merged in the surrounding. No one will detect the person's breath, Heartbeat, or Blood flow. It decrease the flow of energy of the body. So even someone is powerful than him, They can't detect him. All over its a powerful stealth art.
Yang Shi began to crazily practice [Heaven Evasion Lightning Stealth Art]. Day by Day, seven days passed like the wind. Yang Shi looked like a malnourished person. He got dark circles under his eyes, cause of excessive practice. But he managed to get some initial grasp over [Heaven Evasion Lightning Stealth Art]. Because its a heaven grade martial art, Yang Shi is having difficulty to practise this.
But due to the calming effect of Azure Blue Lotus, His comprehension increased. " This lotus is a true treasure. Not only it helps to sharpen my senses but also increased my comprehension. Damn that Red Lily, It got me killed last time. But what is the origin of these treasures?" Yang Shi thought to himself.
" Anyway, Time to do practical." Yang Shi dressed up and went outside. He asked people and reached to an underground arena.
This arena is called " Battle Ring". People come here to see fighting and bet on fighters. Some also come here to hone their skills. But the dangerous thing is, This arena only has Life and Death matches. One will be under its enemy's mercy if he lose. So the mortality rate is 98%.
But an audience like this and bet like crazy. So one can earn a decent amount of money here.
Yang Shi entered the bustling arena and saw people are shouting like crazy.
" Here, Blood Butcher has delivered a fatal attack. Can Black Mask survive? OH, Black Mask has tricked him..." The commenter is shouting. Most people use nicknames and masks, When they are fighting, So no one can recognize and seek revenge from them. The so-called Black Mask roared and slashed the abdomen of Blood Butcher. Blood and intestine spurted out, and the audience roared like madmen.
" HAHAHAHAHAAH. I betted on the correct person. YES, BLACK MASK WON." a person laughed hard.
Yang Shi walked to the gate and said to the guard, " I want To participate in battle"
The guard looked him twice and showed him a room. Yang Shi went there and a fatty gave said to him, " We will be not going take responsibility for your death. Pick your weapon and mask, register your name and go to that gate." Yang Shi wore a fox mask and registered his name to [Ghost]. He picked up his Dark Twilight daggers and entered the gate.
" Ladies and Gentleman, Today we have a new fighter. Welcome Ghost!! And to the day he is going to fight with... Abyss Lord."
" Wooohoooo" The audience cheered after hearing the name of Abyss Lord. " HAHAHA, This Ghost gonna lose today."
A person with a dark mask appeared and laughed wickedly after seeing Yang Shi.
" Brat, Fuck off else Die." The Abyss Lord mocked.
Yang Shi didn't answer, just stared at him. " It seems the abyss lord is at the ninth stage of [Spiritual Ascension Realm] so then..."
" I guess, you want to die after all. Then let me send you to the nether world" saying this, he pulled out a shiny sword and charged out at Yang Shi.
*SWISH* *SWISH*
Yang Shi evaded his two slashes and unleashed the [Ghost Fist]
*BAM BAM BAM BAM*
Eight illusory fists landed on Abyss Lord's chest.
He flew backward and crashed.
" WOW, Isn't it is similar to [Eight Great Palms]?" Some people guessed. Yang Shi smiled after he heard this.
*HAAAH* The Abyss Lord jumped out and roared at Yang Shi, " Bastard, DIE!!. Wave of Sword"
" OH YEAH, Abyss Lord has finally unleashed his signature technique. Can Ghost able to evade this?" The commenter said with an excited voice.
*WENG* *WENG *WENG*
Several Silvery waves charged at Yang Shi. Yang Shi hurriedly deployed [ Radiant Guard]
*DING DING DING*
Most of the attack was stopped by the invisible barrier and the remaining one gave Yang Shi some light cuts.
" OH, and Ghost stopped the [ Wave of Sword]" The commenter roared.
Yang Shi clasped his palms and muttered something. Then with a flash, he chopped out his hand at Abyss Lord. Two formless blades flew toward Abyss Lord. Abyss Lord dodged the first one but got hit by the second.
*ARRRGH* blood spilled as a deep cut appeared on his waist.
" Ghost used Cresent Wind Blade and injured Abyss Lord." The commenter identified the magic technique Yang Shi used.
" I-I surrender. Please, let me live. I will give you whatever you want." The Abyss lord kneel on the ground and begged. Yang Shi cast a disdainful look and turned around to leave.
" Haaah." The Abyss Lord smirked and picked up his sword to unleash another [Wave of Sword], while Yang Shi unware. Just about he was going to slash, a black dagger came flying and pierced the neck of Abyss Lord. With wide-open eyes, Abyss Lord, fell down, never to wake again. Yang Shi picked up his dagger and said, " Scums are really scums."
With a heroic look, he came back from the arena, leaving behind a speechless audience.
" wait a minute. I FORGOT TO BET ON MYSELF. NOOOOO, MY MONEY"
