Chapter 304 Only the Weak Would Pray
Hua!
Gasps rang out from the spectator stand. Some female students were even so scared that they covered their eyes. The three spear shadows were like venomous snakes that darted out suddenly, biting out toward Sun Mo.
“It’s a steady win!”
Watching as the spear tips instantly darting for Sun Mo’s vital spots, a proud smile broke out on Ma Sui’s face. (Sun Mo, I admit that your battle prowess isn’t bad, but you’re still weaker than me!)
The duration of their duel wasn’t long, but given Ma Sui’s experience, he had long since assessed the limits of Sun Mo’s speed. There was no way he could avoid these three spears. Therefore, he could wait to enjoy the cheers of his victory.
But at this moment, a hint of golden light flashed on Sun Mo’s body.
Invulnerable Golden Body!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The three spears pierced through Sun Mo’s clothes, slashing his flesh. However, they didn’t even leave any mark on his body, let alone any wound.
“What?”
Ma Sui’s expression turned into one of great shock. What kind of cultivation art was this?
Sun Mo was hit by his great technique, but how did he come out unscathed? In an instant, Ma Sui’s scalp turned numb. How was he going to continue with this battle?
He suddenly came to comprehension. It was no wonder that Sun Mo’s expression from earlier was only annoyance but not anxious at all. It turned out that Sun Mo was confident that he wouldn’t lose.
All sorts of thoughts appeared in his mind and Ma Sui instinctively turned from attack to defense. As expected, at the next second, Sun Mo came charging toward him.
Eighteen Words Order!
Pa pa pa!
The wooden blade struck consecutively like a heavy rainstorm, drowning Ma Sui.
“What happened? Why did Teacher Sun not get hurt?”
“What terrifying defensive abilities!”
“Does any of you know the name of the cultivation art Teacher Sun cultivates?”
Noises broke out amongst the spectator stand, and quite a number of students left their seats, running toward the front row, wanting to get a clearer view.
Over ten other students looked very regretful and quickly dug out an image recording stone to film.
To speak the truth, image recording stones were too expensive and they felt that the value of this duel wasn’t fitting for the stones to be used, but they didn’t expect to encounter such a scene.
Ma Sui’s Three Dragons Emerge from the Sea was very extravagant and strange. No one knew what the hint of golden light that flashed on Sun Mo’s body was either.
The quality of this battle was quite high!
After Sun Mo started to use Immemorial Vairocana to retaliate, it became even more interesting.
m
After the Eighteen Words Order was finished, Golden Jade Hibiscus was next. Two massive flowers bloomed before Ma Sui’s eyes, imprinting on his body.
Bang! Bang!
Ma Sui felt intense pain in his chest.
West River Moon, Broad Cold Autumn, Late Fragrance!
Sun Mo dealt killing moves again.
Ma Sui was the senior, so it’d be very embarrassing for him to back off here. However, in the earlier two moves, Sun Mo’s attacking prowess was completely above his. This left him with no choice but to back off.
(This isn’t the time to care about face. I have to quickly back off, draw distance, and recover my attacking momentum!)
Ma Sui’s countenance was grim. His judgment wasn’t bad so he understood that this was definitely a tough battle to fight.
It was a pity that Sun Mo wouldn’t let him do as he pleased.
Beauty Yu!
Sun Mo moved his body and appeared before Ma Sui with a hint of after-image, flicking his wooden blade up.
Dotting Crimson Lip.
Pa! Pa!
The wooden blade consecutively tapped on Ma Sui’s body.
“Teacher’s moves are so extravagant!”
The students were full of praise. The girls, especially, had started screaming.
In Sun Mo’s eyes, each time the wooden blade hit Ma Sui’s body, a piece of golden page would fly out and float in the air.
Ma Sui gritted his teeth!
Since there was no way to avoid this, he could only take it head-on.
Hundred Dragons Birth!
Boom!
Over half of Ma Sui’s spirit qi erupted, gushing out in the blink of an eye. Then, at the instant it left his body, it took the form of many huge dragons.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
The huge dragons roared furiously, clashing out toward the surroundings. The entire victory dojo was quickly filled up by loud voice waves.
The students covered their ears, but it was still unbearable. They felt as if a double bang firecracker had exploded next to their ears.
These huge dragons were about seven to eight meters in length and were as thick as water barrels. Their collisions weren’t targeted at a certain spot. It was clearly a ranged attack, but the numbers were really too great.
Once these huge dragons bumped into something, they’d explode and the area of effect was huge.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
If the victory dojo’s arena hadn’t been made from a type of steelrock mined from the Darkness Continent, it’d have exploded and collapsed.
Many students stood up uncontrollably, stretching out their necks to take a look. Their faces were wearing astonished expressions.
This move was too amazing.
The Hundred Dragons Birth’s prowess was great, but the depletion was also huge. Putting aside that it depleted half of Ma Sui’s spirit qi, it was also a great burden to his body.
While it couldn’t be seen on the outside, some of Ma Sui’s muscles were already showing signs of tearing. However, this guy knew that this was an opportunity that mustn’t be missed and thus he clenched his teeth, starting to perform his second ultimate technique.
Ma Sui charged out, sending his spirit qi gushing out. After getting closer to Sun Mo, he suddenly sent his longspear thrusting.
Swoosh!
The longspear pierced out, turning into a huge dragon.
Coiling Dragon Devours the Sky!
Boom!
The surrounding air trembled and amidst the dragon’s roars, a big savage, bloody mouth with sharp fangs opened up and engulfed Sun
Mo.
“That can’t be. You can receive this attack as well?”
There wasn’t any hint of joy on Ma Sui’s face. He noticed that Sun Mo didn’t reveal any hint of anxiety at all. This meant that he was either confident or was able to keep calm amidst impending danger. Regardless of which situation it was, they both proved that Sun Mo was a strong opponent.
“I hope that it’s the latter.”
Ma Sui subconsciously prayed but then quickly despised himself because only the weak would pray. The strong would use their hands to fight for victory!
Sun Mo took a deep breath. He then stared at that huge dragon and swung out his wooden blade. Paying someone back in their own coin!
Hua!
The huge dragon that came biting out toward him suddenly spun and twisted together, as if it was being sucked away by a flushing toilet. It eventually formed into a round ball the size of a coconut.
“What?”
Ma Sui was very surprised. What kind of move was this? This Coiling Dragon Devours the Sky was one of the Coiling Dragon Spear Art’s three great moves. If Sun Mo was able to receive even this attack, then wouldn’t his cultivation art have to be at least at the saint-tier?
What astonished Ma Sui the most had yet to come. As Sun Mo swung his wooden blade again, the round ball was sent flying back. When it got close to Ma Sui, it turned into a huge dragon.
Roar!
The huge dragon let out an enraged bellow and bared its big bloody mouth.
“This...”
Ma Sui was stunned. This seemed to be Coiling Dragon Devours the Sky? But how was it that Sun Mo knew this move? He was then given a straight hit by the attack.
The huge dragon’s big mouth engulfed Ma Sui. In ten breaths’ worth of time, it chewed crazily and erupted.
Bang! Ma Sui, who was covered in blood, fell on the ground. He wanted to continue retaliating, but Sun Mo’s attack had come again.
Charm Remembrance (1), Skynet Sand, Riverful Spring Water!
Bang! Bang! Bang! The wooden blade kept on slashing, and many golden pages flew out of Ma Sui’s head, like a money counter spewing out notes.
Bang!
Ma Sui landed on the ground, unable to put up any more retaliation.
Sun Mo stood there, took a deep breath, and then recalled back on the battle earlier. The Coiling Dragon Spear Art was really amazing!
The entire victory dojo was speechless. Over 1,000 students were in a daze as they looked toward the arena. This last round looked too extravagant.
“Oh my god, I didn’t record it!”
A male student let out an aggrieved howl. He had been too engrossed in watching that his image recording stone wasn’t held in the right direction.
“Hey, student, is your image recording stone for sale?”
This was someone who wasn’t short of money, but it was a pity that he was immediately rejected. “I’m not selling it!” The guy who spoke wiped the image recording stone and quickly put it away. (This battle is so good that I’m going to keep it for my own viewing.) “Teacher Sun’s cultivation art is so amazing!”
“Teacher Ma isn’t bad either. The great technique that sent many huge dragons exploding is so extravagant!” “Brilliant, this is too brilliant!”
The students started talking amongst themselves and then started clapping vigorously, so hard that their palms turned red.
Even though Ma Sui had lost, no one felt that he wasn’t capable. Instead, they pitied him. (It’s not that you’re weak, but that Sun Mo is too strong!)
Ma Sui lay on the floor, looking stunned. (I’ve lost? And it seems that I’ve lost to my own great move.) “Teacher Ma, are you alright?”
Sun Mo ran over and tapped his finger consecutively. He helped Ma Sui stop the bleeding then connected his bones. That Coiling Dragon Devours the Sky’s killing prowess was too great!
“I... cough cough... lost!”
Ma Sui looked dejected.
“Victory and losses are common. You can just win it back the next time.”
Sun Mo smiled. “As long as you don’t give up, there’s never going to be a true failure!”
Golden light rose from Sun Mo’s body then shot out.
Priceless Advice erupted!
“Huh?”
Ma Sui was stunned. (Seriously? You’re even using a great teacher halo on me?) However, he didn’t feel that Sun Mo was showing off. Instead, he felt a little thankful toward him.
Priceless Advice would only be activated when one’s emotion was at its purest state. This showed that Sun Mo’s consolation wasn’t just for show but that he really felt this way. “Go get a doctor here!” Sun Mo called out and several tens of students immediately ran out.
“Teacher Sun, I’ve lost!”
Ma Sui broke into a bitter smile and held onto Sun Mo’s hand. “My horrible performance last year had held back the Central Province Academy, so I had thought of redeeming myself this year. Teacher Sun, since I don’t have the chance to do so, I’ll have to leave it to you!”
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Ma Sui +100. Friendly (380/1,000).
“I’ll do my best!”
Sun Mo shook Ma Sui’s hand with a great force. “Don’t talk anymore. Have some rest!”
Ding!
“Congratulations, you’ve received Ma Sui’s recognition and respect. Rewarded with one silver treasure chest!”
Sun Mo suddenly felt very emotional when he saw the big silver treasure chest landing in front of him. This was a good guy! If he was in Ma Sui’s shoes, there was no way that he’d be so open-minded. He’d definitely think of getting revenge.
The doctor came and Sun Mo stood up to make way for the doctor to give treatment. He then snapped his fingers and the golden pages that were floating in the surroundings immediately flew toward him, forming a golden book.
Ding!
“Congratulations, you’ve obtained the Coiling Dragon Spear Art, a peerless-grade heaven-tier cultivation art. Would you like to learn it?”
“Is there a need to ask?”
Sun Mo rolled his eyes. (Quickly let me learn it!)
