ALMIGHTY THUNDER MONARCH

Chapter 8- Battle to Acknowledge

"Servant?" Changlei Fang was surprised because he didn't need any servant currently and the topic was brought up too abruptly.

"Very soon i will have to return back, and with my absence you'll definitely need someone who will guide you, train you and explain cultivation theories more clearly to you" the old man said unhurriedly.

"And besides every Ultra is entitled to one" he continued.

"Alright, but where are you going to get a servant from" Changlei Fang asked.

The old man didn't reply, as his answer seemed to be the bright red light that shone in the cave, the ceiling was gone so the light even illuminated the surroundings slightly.

Changlei Fang was dumbstruck as he saw the red bead necklace that hanged on the old man's neck suddenly start growing bigger and brighter, that he had to close his eyes because of the harsh light.

bzzzt!

After a huge sound rang through out the place, the bright light died down and Changlei Fang opened his eyes to see a figure standing beside the old man.

It didn't resemble a human being, it was clearly a monster, it had a mask on that covered its whole face, the mask was white in color but had complex red designs engraved on it, it left space I'm his eye spaces showcasing crimson red eyes, it had a contrasting pitch black body with the same complex red designs, its nails looked more like claws as just by looking at it, you could sense how sharp that were, its appearance was then finally complimented with a silver white large tail that was even thicker than two gorilla's hands combined.

Changlei Fang sized the monster in dread and he thought fearfully

'This is supposed to be my servant?, are you f**king kidding me?"

"You see, Red here has a very unique innate ability and that is Shape Shifting, he had shapeshifted into this necklace and now his real form" he said unhurriedly.

Changlei Fang was very surprised hearing this, almost everyone in the cultivation world knew what Innate Abilities were, they were special set of abilities that a demon had, this gave demons unique traits and special qualities that only belonged to that specie or race.

Like for instance, the Ox King beasts had a special ability called Extreme Adjust, where they could multiply their strengths to a very shocking degree.

The killing intent it emitted covered the entire cave as Changlei Fang felt like suffocating.

"Reduce your killing intent, Red" the old man said calmly.

"Yes master" the monster replied with a hoarse voice.

"Don't call me master anymore, your new master is him" the old man raised his wrinkled hand and pointed to Changlei Fang.

The monster glanced over and he saw Changlei Fang, he frowned and said

"Excuse me, are you supposed to be master?" the monster's voice carried disdain and ridicule.

Changlei Fang frowned tightly upon hearing this, although he had a great resistance towards insults and hate, he couldn't help but still be upset.

He now knew he was an Ultra, and he had learned the Dragon Energy Legacy Art, and small pride had appeared in him, but now his own servant was belittling him.

"Master, are you sure about this person" the monster felt unwilling, he could accept being the servant of this old man or any other Ultra but he clearly sensed zero Ultra power from this brat, telling him to submit to someone who wasn't an Ultra was just too unacceptable.

The old man seemed to know what the monster was thinking and he said

"How about you have a battle with him on fair terms and the loser becomes the slave to the winner"

"I agree" The monster answered without hesitation.

It knew that if this old man forced him to be this boy's servant, then he will simply have to obey.

"Okay" Changlei Fang answered after a brief hesitation.

"Good" the old man nodded.

He appeared beside the monster, and clamped his hands on its shoulder and blue lines began appearing like spider webs and after precisely three seconds they disappeared.

"Now your cultivation base has been suppressed to the 6th tier body refinement realm" the old man said.

Changlei Fang felt this was ridiculous, he was just a third tier body refinement realm cultivator and this monster was at the sixth tier, he felt it was impossible to beat this monster.

He in fact thought that even in the same level, he might not even beat him.

The monster And Changlei Fang faced off against each other, as the monster spoke "Maybe if you beg for forgiveness now, i will not beat you up so badly" his tone was filled with disdain and his crimson monster eyes showed contempt

"Men should talk with their fists, and not chatter like a little girl" Changlei Fang said coldly.

"Hmph, you talk as if you know anything"

The monster replied back.

"Battle Start" the old man's calm voice interrupted their insults

The monster called Red glanced at Changlei Fang trying to study him.

Then what happened made even the old man surprised.

Changlei Fang had taken a weird posture, he squatted down and put his two palms on the ground, making him look like someone preparing to frog jump.

Then red aura started swiftly gathering underneath Changlei Fang's palms.

Red seeing this, decided to not let Changlei Fang perform any tricks, but as he moved slightly, Changlei Fang propelled himself with the aid of his powered hands.

You see, once you master the Dragon energy legacy art, you could control this bizarre energy around your entire body, but where you experienced your torture wil be able to control it much more easier.

Like what Changlei Fang was doing, he could control the Dragon Energy around his entire body, but he could freely wrap the Dragon Energy like a glove on his hands.

Changlei Fang propelled head first towards Red, but as Red saw this, he simply casually stepped sideways, allowing Changlei Fang to pass him and collide with the wall.

Bang!

Red turned and saw Changlei Fang on the ground clumsily, and sneered

"A monkey's play"

Changlei Fang assumed the same position and repeated the same thing, even multiple times.

Boom!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Red grew tired of this nonsense, he uttered coldly

"Time's up for your useless playing"

His right hand released scarlet light as the aura even extended to his shoulder, he looked at Changlei Fang and then he shot out to meet him.

Changlei Fang's expression became solemn as he looked at this attack, he then said

"I should have mastered it by now"

He then shot out once again but this time he shot to another part of the wall, then to the end of the wall then to another corner, he then repeated this cycle.

The old man spectating raised his brows in astonishment, because Changlei Fang looked like a monkey as he frolicked around.

Red looked around trying to study Changlei Fang's movements but because almost all his power had been sealed, he had a hard time seeing clearly.

Changlei Fang shot towards Red, Red sensing Changlei Fang near him thought Fang was finally going on the offensive, he turned over and punched forward but all his fist met was a soft cloth, he was surprised as he was sure he had sensed Changlei Fang.

But he soon realized the problem, Changlei Fang had thrown his upperwear, and that fabric contained Changlei Fang's aura, he had sensed the cloth with his aura and sinced Changlei Fang had distanced himself, he had not sensed him.

He had been fooled and before he could react, Changlei Fang had shot out to his back and shocking enough, his own hands started emitting red light even more brighter and thicker than Red's own, the entire cave was illuminated with a red glow.

The old man was surprised when he saw this, because of what he saw Changlei Fang doing.

The sixth tier to the ninth tier body refinement realm were also called the Energy Manipulation Realms where a cultivator at this levels although didn't have a qi sea, they could still control qi nevertheless, but a 3rd tier body refinement realm cultivator like Changlei Fang controlling energy to such degree really shocked him.

Changlei Fang said " This move was created by wrapping my hands with Dragon Energy and further compressing it, i officially name this move

The Crushing Heaven Blow"

A huge ball of Dragon Energy with a diameter of over twenty meters shrank to the size of a soccer ball, as Changlei fang punched straight.

The old man seeing this, understood the whole thing, firstly he shot around the cave like a monkey so as to be familiar with controlling Dragon Energy then executing that attack, with casting the energy, then compressing it all took time, so by using that clothe as a distraction, he managed to gain enough time to carry this out.

He nodded in praise, Changlei Fang had planned this battle since the very beginning.

Red Fang seeing this, horror showed on his face but with his countless experiences, he instinctively countered with his own fist and a wind pressure blowed intensely around, and they were both blown backwards.

Crack!

The sound of bones breaking rang through the cave, as Red Fang's right hand scattered, blood pouring everywhere and bones could be seen.

"AAAHHHH" Red shouted in agony.

His face showed even more horror and fright, when he saw Changlei Fang come to his front and launced another punch straight to his chest.

"Wai-"

Before he could complete his speech, Changlei Fang's fist collided on his chest, he coughed up blood and he directly fainted.

"Sorry, i was too heavy handed" Changlei Fang said with an apolegietic face.

The old man rolled his eyes, he had beat him to unconsciousness and now he was saying sorry.

Changlei Fang turned to the old man and bowed "Sorry"

This monster was initially his servant and beating it to such a point was just going far.

"You don't need to apologize, you're now his master and can do as you please to it" the old man replied.

Changlei Fang nodded and he looked At the unconscious Red and he was filled with remorse and sympathy

Red was just one of the many servants of the Ultra clan, he had learned this from the old man and they had been prestigious figures before but now they had been reduced to mere slaves of the ultra clan, only to obey the whole commands of their master or meet a terrible end.

Red had been angry when he saw another of those people trying to enslave him and he had tried venting all his exasperation and annoyance on Changlei Fang, but Changlei Fang had to defend himself or Red wouldn't have showed mercy either.

He sat down cross-legged trying to recover his energy and heal his tired body, Using that Crushing Heaven Blow was very taxing on the body and it almost depleted all his energy.

The old man said "You can use the Dragon Energy to clear your pores and absorb more qi from the surroundings better, but i don't know whether it might work"

"please can you heal him" Changlei Fang said pointing to the unconscious Red.

"Yes, i will"

Changlei Fang heard this and he promised to do this outside, in this formation, qi was cut off and all was present was oxygen.

Red woke up shortly after under the old man's treatment, he glanced at Changlei fang but instead of any enimity showing in his eyes, what showed was reverence.

Red's thinking was different, for him Changlei Fang had frightening potential, he had not unlocked his ultra power and had discovered that he had mastered the sacred Dragon Energy Legacy Art and he didn't take his sealed power into consideration, and Changlei Fang's wits and shrewdness was impressive.

He felt that by following someone as monstrous as Changlei Fang, he will definitely benefit a lot and even save his clan.

After some hours, Changlei Fang asked

"Old pervert, can you let me out"

"Alright" the old man said unhesitantly.

He kicked Changlei Fang and Red out and the speed he did it made it seem like he was delighted with Changlei Fang leaving.

Changlei Fang outside dusted the dust off his body, and extended his middle finger at the cave.
