Humm ~ ~ ~
Terrifying Soul Power surged out in a berserk confrontation between the 2. As they clashed, it transformed into a whirlpool of air currents, causing popping sounds to ring out from the ground. Right from the start, it was a close-quarters fight!
All of the soldiers present were completely focused on the duel. To them, a Soul Sea confrontation like this was a threat. However, the control of these 2 freaks might just be a sliver of an advantage.
Wearing an eyepatch, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Mo Wen's mouth. With a twist of his body, he allowed the incoming force to surge towards him. With a slight twist of his body, he used his right arm as the axis. At the same time, the hidden tip of his foot had already sent a flying kick out. Wang Zhong's eyebrows twitched slightly. In the instant that he lost his balance, he had already retracted his hand. Soul Power crazily poured into his left palm that was holding onto Mo Wen's right fist. Like a clamp, he locked onto Mo Wen's axis. At the same time, he retracted the power in his hand, causing the earth-shattering fist intent to instantly dissipate without a trace. At the same time, his body flipped to the left along with Mo Wen, with his head tilted backwards.
The tip of his foot seemed to brush past Wang Zhong's chin, missing by a hair. However, before his foot could reach its highest point, he had already made a turn in the air, turning his kick into a sweep.
Wang Zhong sent his right hand forward.
BANG!
Yet another shockwave violently rippled out, causing thunderous booms to ring out in the air. Their bodies that had lost their balance, as well as the massive rebounding force, pulled the 2 apart, forming a straight line. The massive rebounding force was about to force the 2 apart.
His left palm and right fist, which were interlocked with each other, became the link between them. The rebounding force instantly pulled the two of them taut, causing their entangled arms to ripple with Soul Power. Following that, the rebounding force transformed into a pulling force that pulled the two of them back towards each other.
Wang Zhong and Mo Wen's eyes were undoubtedly filled with an unprecedented feeling of satisfaction. With the close distance between them, there was no gap between them. This was a completely subconscious reaction, with the 2 of them making the exact same decision, sending their knees flying out at the same time.
BANG!
A terrifying sound wave rippled out once again, causing the air currents to swirl back. It was as though the knees that had collided weren't human knees, but 2 rushing comets. The knees were sent flying back, while the legs were sent flying back. However, at the same time, the 2 of them sent out a heavy punch with their other hand.
Boom!
In this close quarters combat, neither of them had the slightest intention of retreating. At this moment, Mo Wen's right hand and Wang Zhong's left hand had already locked onto each other's fingers, making it impossible for either of them to escape from the other's attack range.
Boom ~ Boom boom boom boom boom ~ ~ ~
Fist against fist, leg against leg, foot against foot, lightning-fast strikes, close entanglement, crazy attacks, this kind of fighting style that was close to that of a lunatic, was shocking to everyone. Really, if it was just the two of them, any one of them would really be beaten up like a dog. They were not on the same level at all.
Everyone could see the two of them pulling at each other from their original positions, but they were unable to see the movements of the two of them. The extreme reactions of the human body, the switching of soul power between attack and defense, the speed and strength of their attacks, all of these went against the norm. Perhaps it could be said that the reason why there were so many obstacles was due to the insufficient cultivation of other soldiers, while these two had long broken through their limits!
Without talking about the naked eyes of ordinary people, even the high frame rate cameras could only see flashes of light continuously erupting from the 2 of them. Their fists and palms had transformed into streaks of light, while their legs had transformed into lightning bolts. It appeared as though countless meteors were shooting out from their bodies, rumbling towards each other.
Both of them were using a single hand to attack and defend, with a mix of kicks and kicks. In this close quarters combat, all tricks and feints were useless. Furthermore, with the pride and anticipation of the 2 of them, there was absolutely no need for such tricks. Furthermore, the understanding and tacit understanding they had was something that others would never know, just like how beggars would never know the emperor's breakfast.
This was the purest form of physical combat, with the only thing that mattered was who was faster and stronger!
The streaks of light from their fists and legs grew faster and faster, with their movements continuously increasing in speed, as though there was no limit to their attacks. Very quickly, even the streaks of light from their fists and legs disappeared, replaced by countless light waves and sonic booms.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Sonic booms reverberated across the stadium, causing the voices of the ordinary people present in the viewing gallery to disappear. Countless people in the participant viewing gallery had already held their breaths. Being experts, and having an omniscient view, only Vladimir, Carolyn and a few others were able to barely keep up with the 2's movements.
The qualitative change in Soul Power had clearly increased the explosive power of the 2's fleshly bodies, causing their movements to leap to a whole new level. The burden on their bodies to erupt with such speed was unimaginable. However, what's more frightening was that their fleshly bodies were actually able to endure it! Furthermore, they didn't appear to be out of place at all! Were the 2 of them really in the Casted Soul Stage?
It was understandable for Mo Wen, who possessed the 5 Elements Constitution. However, what about Wang Zhong?
Truthfully speaking, just this move alone was more than enough to destroy a considerable portion of the Heroic Soul Stage soldiers.
Many of the participants were dumbfounded by what they saw. All of them were people who had already reached the threshold of the Heroic Soul Stage. At this moment, the more they were immersed in the fight, the more shocked they became, causing their minds to turn completely blank.
Whoosh …
At the centre of the intense fight between the 2, a glint of a fist suddenly shot out, sending a gust of wind through the air, before smashing against the ground.
BANG!!!
There was a deafening sound.
In an instant, the ground split apart!
Countless rock fragments shot out, while a half metre deep pit appeared. Crack crack crack crack … in the next instant, the ground started to rapidly split apart!
Everyone present in the stadium felt the entire stadium shake violently. Be it the stadium or the Skylink, everyone was instantly scared silly by what they saw.
What the hell was that?
As the 2 smashed against each other, the power of their fists and legs appeared to be mutually cancelling each other out. This caused many people to only notice their "speed". However, it was only when this clearly missed punch smashed straight into the ground did everyone realise exactly what level of collision the 2 were engaging in!
It wasn't that the 2 of them weren't strong. Instead, these 2 freaks were still contending with each other in terms of control. That was to lock their power within the range of their attacks. This contest, this madness, caused all of the participants in the stadium to … want to find a place to draw circles on.
Seriously! This is the fucking CHF finals! Can the 2 of you consider the feelings of others???
The participant viewing gallery had already turned into a scene of dumbfounded silence, with only the sounds of people subconsciously gulping down their saliva. Even Carolyn and Vladimir, who would not bat an eyelid in the face of the heavens collapsing, felt slightly embarrassed, while also feeling incomparable yearning and envy. This was the tacit understanding between Wang Zhong and Mo Wen. The 2 of them had acknowledged each other's strength, and both of them believed that their opponent would be an important springboard for them to advance into the Heroic Soul Stage.
This kind of mutual appreciation had already surpassed the level of this match. Carolyn and the others could more or less feel the pressure they were feeling. They were originally people of the same realm. Faced against such an opponent, how would they chase up to him in the future? How would they surpass him?
While the people in the viewing gallery were filled with various emotions, the series of sonic booms in the stadium did not stop for even half a second. Shockwaves continued to ripple out, while explosions continued to flash about. Simple and unadorned punches and kicks collided at close range, with not the slightest bit of exaggerated feints being used. The extremely short reaction time was just one aspect of it, as both of them knew that their opponent possessed the most fundamental Heart's Eye.
Without talking about ordinary flashy combat techniques, even Napier Mo's ultimate assassin's Shadow Dance was the nemesis of Mo Wen's Heart's Eye. This wasn't to say that the Shadow Dance was useless, but against a Heart's Eye soldier, Napier Mo would only be able to unleash half of its might.
Returning to one's natural state was what Wang Zhong and Mo Wen were currently fighting for. What they valued was the changes in speed, the finer details of their Soul Power during their attacks, as well as the toughness and strength of their bodies in the face of such high intensity attacks. With such combat accomplishments, any move would be easily obtained.
Since both of them had grasped the Heart's Eye, they naturally knew the strengths and weaknesses of their opponents.
Bang bang bang bang bang ~ ~ ~
Both of them had passed the test.
The accumulation of Soul Power was extremely stable. Even at such a level of consumption, there wasn't a single person whose Soul Power was unable to keep up. One had to know that if anyone were to exert even the slightest bit of Soul Power with the characteristics of a Heroic Soul, they would immediately reveal their true form under such high intensity consumption. Therefore, there was no room for mistakes to be made in every single aspect.
This was Mo Wen's test for Wang Zhong, to see if Wang Zhong truly had the qualifications, or if he was just a silver spearhead. At the same time, this was also Wang Zhong's counterattack.
The higher speed and power they possessed caused the difficulty in defending to rapidly increase, while their attacks became increasingly difficult to control perfectly. The punches and kicks that they missed started to wreak havoc on the stage, causing the entire stadium to rumble non-stop. Cracks started to appear on the surface of the stage, while craters started to appear all over it.
The left and right hands that had been entangled with each other for a long time finally broke apart under the might of such a level of strength, appearing just like a steel bar being forcefully pulled apart.
Bang!
A massive force of destruction appeared, as a simple collision amongst the hundreds and thousands of punches and kicks sent 2 figures shooting out like cannonballs.
Ta ta!
Crack crack crack crack …
The 2 landed on the ground at the same time, causing the entire stadium to shake, with the ground splitting apart like ice being smashed apart. In the next instant, the 2 figures erupted with an even greater force, increasing the distance between them, allowing their combat techniques to finally be put to good use.
Wang Zhong's eyes sparkled like lightning. Circulating his Soul Power, the silvery Soul Power visible to the naked eye started to vibrate, forming a sawtooth like ripple on its surface.
Unexpectedly, Mo Wen had done the exact same thing, causing the sawtooth Soul Power ripple to radiate with a hidden force.
2nd Drive!
Fists collided.
The same speed and Soul Power as before, however, due to the difference in the circulation of Soul Power, the power unleashed was on a completely different level. There was no sound, nor was there the usual shockwaves from the collision. A halo that appeared to distort space rapidly expanded out from the centre of the 2 colliding fists like a sharp blade.
Humm ~ ~ ~
The defensive barrier of the entire stadium sparkled with an intense brilliance, appearing as though it had received the most frightening of attacks. This was the combat standard of a Heroic Soul Stage soldier. Only at this moment did the frightening sound of the collision finally arrive.
BANG …
The expanding halo even distorted the sound waves, causing people to feel a heavy and muffled feeling, as well as a slight tremor.
The audience in the viewing gallery had their mouths agape, with their thoughts completely unable to keep up with the rhythm of the fight. Before they could realise exactly what had happened, the 2 figures in the air had already collided with each other.
Before they could completely collide, the 2 immediately sent their fists out in the opposite direction, causing sawtooth Soul Power ripples to ripple out from their fists as they instantly collided.
This time, Wang Zhong's movements appeared to be a beat slower. Although they had both sent their fists out in the same direction, Wang Zhong had only sent his fist out 40% of the distance between them, before their fists collided. This was a simple principle. Although both of them had the same speed and strength, Wang Zhong's attack had yet to reach its peak. In this minute difference, Mo Wen had gained the upper hand.
BANG!
Yet another loud bang rang out, as sound waves exploded out. The half a beat slower had broken the equilibrium between the 2, instantly causing Wang Zhong's strength to fall into a disadvantage. As the 2 collided once again, Mo Wen made use of the rebounding force from their collision to gain an advantage of half a body's length. Sweeping out with a whipping kick, his 2nd wave of attacks arrived!
One step slower, every step slower.
Although it was just a millimetre gap, it had already given Mo Wen the upper hand. At this moment, it was already too late for him to counter with his leg, as Wang Zhong managed to raise his arms to block the incoming kick.
BANG!
The terrifying leg force swept out, sending Wang Zhong flying like a volleyball, shooting towards the ground. Before he could land on the ground, Mo Wen's figure had already scurried out in the air. Despite having moved later, he had already caught up to Wang Zhong in an instant, before sending a right whipping kick chopping down from the air!
Wang Zhong had lost his balance, causing him to lose the initiative.
However, at this moment, Wang Zhong's eyes suddenly erupted with brilliance.
3rd punch!
The 2 figures collided in the air at lightning speed.
A heavy fist against a whipping kick!
Although they were both using 2nd Drive, the strength of one's leg should be greater than one's fist. However, at this instant, the Soul Power ripples on Wang Zhong's sawtooth seemed to undergo a miraculous transformation. It was as though a spiralling force that had been accumulating for a long time had burst forth from within, causing the 2nd Drive to instantly converge together.
Massive amounts of power erupted from Wang Zhong's fist, stacking layer upon layer, appearing as though there was no end to it.
BANG!
Rushing downwards, Mo Wen was sent flying high into the air, smashing against the defensive barrier a dozen metres away, causing it to sparkle fiercely.
Rumble rumble rumble …
The defensive barrier wailed, while the entire stadium shook. Everyone present in the stadium was dumbfounded. In this collision, Mo Wen should have taken the initiative to suppress Wang Zhong. Furthermore, regardless of the angle and power of his attacks, Mo Wen should have the upper hand. However, the outcome had exceeded everyone's expectations.
"Adding the inner spiralling of Soul Power into the foundation of 2nd drive, accumulating it step by step, before unleashing a breathtaking punch! This is known as the 3rd drive!" Long Mei 'er could not help but exclaim in admiration. The little tricks displayed by the 2 had caused even the legendary soldiers to sigh with emotion, as they did not possess such a standard at their age and phase.
Not every Heavenly Soul Stage soldier would become famous during the Casted Soul Stage or the Heroic Soul Stage. In fact, that wasn't the case. Everyone would have different encounters at every phase, and the higher one's rank was, the more this would be the case. This was also the reason why everyone placed such a high value on this. Generally speaking, those who were strong before advancing to the Heroic Soul Stage would not be weak after advancing to the Heroic Soul Stage. However, those who were weak before advancing to the Heroic Soul Stage might not be weak after advancing to the Heroic Soul Stage.
For example, Vladimir's Ice Dominion, Carolyn's Heart's Sword, and even Grai's identity as a member of the Blood Race, as well as the silver Soul Power that Wang Zhong and Mo Wen had displayed at the start of this duel, they were all able to gain Rommel's approval. However, Wang Zhong's move was indeed worthy of praise. 2nd Drive was basically the pinnacle of the Heroic Soul Stage, and no one would waste their strength and mental energy on a deeper level of techniques. It was too difficult, and too painful. Simply speaking, researching and cultivating in such techniques was akin to a half-starved person having to consider the peace of mankind. However, Wang Zhong had done it.
Other than Long Mei 'er, there was no lack of experts present in the stadium. The observers sent by the various great aristocratic families were also nodding their heads in approval. The theory behind the 2nd drive was to withstand the rebounding force of one's attack, before rebounding it back. This was the stacking of one's strength and one's opponent's strength.
Simply speaking, the 2nd drive was able to double the amount of strength one could unleash. Basically, this was the pinnacle of strength utilization. At the very least, this was the case for the Casted Soul Stage and Heroic Soul Stage. As long as one understood the theory behind the 2nd drive, one's body would be able to endure it, and one would be able to unleash it with some practice.
Wang Zhong's 3rd drive was the foundation of the 2nd drive's rebounding force, while adding in the internal rotation of his Soul Power. This internal rotation would be immediately released, and would be compressed like a spring. At the critical moment, it would explode forth, forming the 3rd level of strength!
Although it sounded simple, it was clearly a huge test for one's fleshly body. What was even more frightening was the burden placed on one's Soul Sea. This accumulation of pressure required one's Soul Sea to support it, making it extremely dangerous. However, Wang Zhong had completely disregarded this point.
After being sent flying, Mo Wen had already landed on the ground. However, the massive force of inertia continued to batter him, causing him to spin 17 to 18 times like a spinning top. He was unable to maintain his balance, and the speed at which he spun caused the spectators to feel dizzy.
In the blink of an eye, the disadvantage of both sides had turned into an advantage.
Pa!
Mo Wen forcefully pushed his left leg back to stop his body from spinning. Just as the spinning world stabilized, Wang Zhong's fist had already arrived before his eyes. Under the illumination of his Soul Power, Wang Zhong's fist rapidly grew larger. Anyone who had spun 17 to 18 times would definitely feel stupefied, and their eyes would definitely be blurry. However, Mo Wen did not use his eyes.
His Heart's Eye had already seen through all of Wang Zhong's actions at the same time his body had started to spin. The path of Wang Zhong's advance and attack were all revealed by his Heart's Eye.
Just as Mo Wen's body came to a stop, his left and right hands had already pulled apart. With a ferocious swing, a ray of white light blossomed out, forming a circular shape. Appearing to possess the gentleness of nature and the toughness of the earth, Mo Wen's entire body started to sway slightly.
Mo School — Circular Force!
A stream of air instantly formed around Mo Zhong's body, forming a 2 metre wide cylindrical barrier. Wang Zhong felt as though his fist had suddenly sunk into an extremely sticky quagmire, causing it to slow down slightly.
In the next instant, the back of a palm naturally chopped out, blocking the path of Wang Zhong's fist. Like a lever, it gently and steadily diverted the incoming fist, causing it to brush past Mo Wen's face.
Bang!
Fist light shot out, causing an ear-piercing sonic boom to ring out from an empty space. In the next instant, a continuous pushing hand was sent flying towards Wang Zhong's chest.
Compared to the speed of the 2, this pushing hand was incomparably slow. However, at this moment, half of Wang Zhong's body had already sunk into Mo Wen's Circular Force field. Sinking deep into the quagmire, he was being pulled along by the surging torrent of air currents.
There was no way to evade.
Wang Zhong took a deep breath, while Soul Power instantly converged at his chest.
Bang!
The sound of the collision wasn't too loud, yet an indescribable destructive force erupted forth, sweeping Wang Zhong away fiercely.
Deng deng deng …
Wang Zhong retreated backwards. In the instant that his feet touched the ground, he had already leapt up once again. The Mo Family's Circular Force had long been famous, and was a core secret of the Mo School. Even within the Mo Family, there were very few people who could comprehend it.
His shooting figure suddenly dissipated, splitting into 2, before splitting into 3.
Shadow Doppelganger!
3 Wang Zhong's split up in an instant, before converging together in a split second, unleashing their attacks from 3 different directions.
However, Wang Zhong seemed to have forgotten that Mo Wen was a "blind" person, and also possessed the Mind's Eye!
The 2 fake doppelgangers weren't even able to create a sliver of bait, as Mo Wen had basically treated them as air, before sending his Circular Force pushing hand straight towards Wang Zhong's real body.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhong's fist had already been blocked by Mo Wen's incoming arm. As the fist and palm collided, it was indeed a real body!
However, before Mo Wen's pushing hand could take effect, the feeling of a real body instantly disappeared, as a threat came from his left, penetrating through his clothes!
Dimensional combat technique — Illusory Reality Switch!
Gui Xinying's combat technique was displayed even more perfectly and skillfully in Wang Zhong's hands! The instantaneous switch was already faster than a human's consciousness, causing Wang Zhong to be utterly unable to react in time.
Hua …
Wang Zhong's fist smashed heavily against Mo Wen's back. However, it didn't feel as heavy as he had imagined.
Wang Zhong felt as though his fist had smashed against an illusory and slippery sandbag, causing the force behind his fist to dissipate away.
Circular Force covered his entire body!
The force behind his fist was akin to a pebble sinking into the ocean, before being instantly absorbed by the Circular Force field. This gave the cylindrical air current quagmire an additional layer of power, causing the rotating cylindrical air current to grow thicker by a notch.
Tilting his body to the side, Mo Wen's left leg turned into an axis, while his right leg turned into a compass. Twisting his body like a buddha, he immediately sent a backhand grab towards Wang Zhong.
Pa! Wang Zhong's wrist was grabbed. However, at the same time, the surrounding dimensional space started to tremble slightly, before Wang Zhong's real body disappeared once again, instantly appearing in front of his 3rd doppelganger.
Mo Wen was already prepared for this. The entire Circular Force field appeared to be under his control, causing it to freeze slightly. At the same time, he brought his left hand out in a circular motion to block the incoming attack.
Whoosh!
This time, before he could even take action, he was forced to retreat. The illusory and real doppelganger were unable to confuse his opponent's Heart's Eye. Furthermore, the excessive focus on his movement techniques and the reduction of his offensive power was unable to break through the Circular Force's defences.
After escaping from the range of the Circular Force field, Wang Zhong gave a push with his feet, causing his entire body to shoot over a dozen metres into the air. His body stopped for a brief moment as the silvery Soul Power around him started to sparkle and shine, while a silvery glow appeared in Wang Zhong's eyes.
Having reached the end of his ascent, his body flipped upside down. Head down, feet up, he was in free fall.
Augmented by his Soul Power, Wang Zhong borrowed the increasing momentum of his descent from the sky, as well as the accumulation from the 2 successive 2nd drive attacks.
Reverse Momentum — 3rd Drive!
Wang Zhong's sawtooth Soul Power instantly caused sparks to fly from the friction in the air. Appearing just like a fireball descending from the sky, it brought along a majestic aura!
Nevertheless, Mo Wen remained calm and unhurried. The thick red eyepatch covered his gaze and expression, causing people to see that he was as cold and callous as a machine.
He hugged his palms slightly and made a retracting motion. The Circular Force Field, which had already expanded to a width of three to four meters and a height of five to six meters, instantly shrank by more than half. The rotating airflow solidified, and the light air seemed to become heavy within the Force Field.
