Sect Attack.
Alex's battles in the arena continued, and he emerged victorious in each encounter. As he watched the ongoing matches, his excitement turned into intense anticipation. It was finally Chang Li's turn to step into the arena.
"Go!!! GO!!! GO!!!" Alex's enthusiasm was palpable as he banged his hands on his knees, fully immersed in the upcoming fight.
--
Down in the arena, Chang Li stood face to face with his opponent, a large and unsightly man.
"Listen, kid, don't even think about giving up. I'll break every bone in your body, and then you can beg for mercy. If you don't, I'll make your life a living hell in the sect after this battle. Got it, you scrawny brat?!" The man barked at Chang Li with a menacing tone.
Chang Li looked different now, his confidence evident. "(After so many years, I hope the technique Big Brother Li taught me doesn't fail. I've trained diligently, hoping to stack up all the training and not disappoint him any further)," Chang Li thought.
Drawing his katana-like sword, Chang Li held it in front of him.
"AND NOW, WE HAVE A FIGHT BETWEEN CHANG LI AND GUAN LONGWEI!!!"
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
"BAHAHAHAHA!!! [MOUNTAIN CRUSHER]" Guan Longwei, despite his large build, moved surprisingly fast. Each step he took created earthquake-like tremors.
He closed the distance quickly, his target being Chang Li. He unleashed a powerful punch, backed by the force of his ability. Shockwaves generated by his movements preceded the actual strike. However, it wasn't enough.
Slice.
PSSSSHHHHH!!!
In a single fluid motion, Chang Li used his sword to cut through Guan Longwei's hand.
"([Slash])" Chang Li thought, keeping his eyes closed.
An eerie silence fell upon the arena.
Even Alex was speechless, he has seen bullshit powerups in the past in the tv series but this one surpassed everything he has ever seen ever. Chang Li seemed like the God of Swordsmanship.
"Huh? Wha... You... You... You... YOU DAREEEEEEEEEE!!!!" Guan Longwei's shock turned into rage, he instantly roared in the sky.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
Guan Longwei's powers surged, his body crystallizing.
"I WILL KILL YOU BBBBBBASTARD!!!" He materialized right in front of Chang Li, his movements swift and fluid.
"([Perry])" Chang Li thought.
Pzzzsttt!!!
Chang Li parried Guan Longwei's attack effortlessly, his opponent's blows ineffective. no its more like Chang Li wasn't letting the attacks hit him.
"([Perry]), ([Slash]), ([Swing]), ([Thrust]), ([Cut])" Chang Li seamlessly dodged and countered every technique thrown at him. His movements flowed effortlessly, resembling water droplets that no attack could penetrate.
Despite his extraordinary power, Chang Li's endurance wore thin. However, this didn't matter, as his opponent was gradually losing his sanity.
"(Why can't I touch him? Why is he so fast? Why is he so fluid? Am I going to lose like this? No... no... no... I am destined for greatness... I can't lose, I can't, I can't, I can't... I WILL NOT LOSE!!!)" Guan Longwei's thoughts grew increasingly frenzied.
"(Chance!!! [Slice])" Chang Li moved towards Guan Longwei's neck. Instead of executing the strike, he smiled and said, "You lose, Guan Longwei. Admit..." he was stopped as Guan Longwei had its mouth open filled with salvia as he put his head up and.
ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAARRRR!!!
An animalistic roar erupted from Guan Longwei.
--
"SHIT!!! DEMONIZATION TECHNIQUE," Old Chang's drink was forgotten as he vanished from his seat.
--
"WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!!!" Alex disappeared from his VIP room, his drink abandoned as well.
--
"CATCH HIM NOW!!!" The elders were frantic.
--
But Chang Li was too close.
"DDDGIIEEEE!!! [MOUNTAIN CRUSHING FIST]" Guan Longwei lunged towards Chang Li, his body transforming into that of a beast. Furry growth covered his rocky exterior, and his hair lengthened, resembling a tiger. He looked like a monstrous creature.
"(No... I can't dodge... Is this... Am I... Is this the... Final moments of my life?") Chang Li's eyes widened as he faced the incoming fist.
Memories of training flooded his mind. Alex was unaware, but Chang Li had trained tirelessly, each day dedicated to the promise he had made years ago, when they were just children under ten years old. a promise he would never forget in his entire life.
Chang Li's thoughts went back to that day. Corpses were scattered around, the rain pouring down. A young man stood before him, bloodied and with arms outstretched. "Run, Chang Li!" the young man's voice wavered. A cloaked figure loomed, sword descending upon him.
The cloaked man said something, but Chang Li couldn't hear it over the chaos.
"Run, Chang Li." The young man's voice echoed again, and then...
He fell.
Chang Li rushed to his side, tears in his eyes. "Big Brother Li" He put his hand down on the man.
The young man said something, "Run--" but Chang Li placed his ear near the young man's mouth. "W... What did you say---"
"ESCAPE, CHANG LI!" A powerful voice roared.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
The illusion shattered, and Chang Li snapped back to reality.
Before him stood a familiar figure, a man protecting him. This time, he was unharmed, and his arms were not outstretched.
He clenched Guan Longwei's fists, emitting an intense white aura.
Alex was furious, raging beyond anything else. No one could stop him now. he looked at beast like Guan Longwei and cracked his entire arm.
"YOU DARE!!!" Alex charged, intending to end it all, but...
BSSSSSHHHJHGGGGGG!!!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
BSSSSSHHHJHGGGGGG!!!
The environment around them shifted dramatically.
Everything plunged into darkness, a black sphere enveloping the arena. Old Chang and everyone else, Old Chang stood there in air, everyone every elder and Old Chang was looking up in the sky, this is why Alex managed to save Chang Li First. it was completely dark.
"What is this!!!"
"Please help me what is this"
"Is thid end of the World?"
Crowd was panicking.
Old Chang stood there as he looked seriously at the dark sphere as he said "I see now." He went up in the sky.
Suddenly!!! space was bend as everything started to Change.
Alex looked around and said with shock.
"What is that!!!"
