Ye Chen could not help but be shocked. Back in the north of the Black Dragon Empire, Tuo Baku had taken one of his punches without being hurt at all. At that time, Ye Chen was not surprised at all, because the Five Mountain Godly Fist Art was only a mid-rank Earth Realm fist art. Even with fifty thousand pounds of physical strength, it would still not be as powerful as his sword art. Facing some Clasping Yuan Realm warriors with extremely powerful defense, it would naturally not be effective. However, even if Mo Yan's attack had not been at one hundred percent of its power, it would still be at least eighty to ninety percent. Still, it could not break through Tuo Baku's defense, which was quite shocking.
"A peak-rank Earth Realm defensive technique seems to be more than that."
There were a lot of martial arts in this true spirit continent, and they all focused on different things. Some focused on attacking power, like Lou Hanshan's Great Rudra Godly Art; some focused on speed, like Wu Liangyu's Black Crow Great Art; some contained special effects, like Murong Qingcheng's Sky Demon Great Art; some focused on defense, and were called defensive martial arts. Tuo Baku should have trained a defensive martial art.
Defense cultivation techniques and body forging cultivation techniques were a bit similar. From the outside, the physical defense was very high. However, from a more detailed look, defense cultivation techniques and body forging cultivation techniques were completely different. Defense cultivation techniques attached body protection Zhen Qi to the surface of the body, and did not directly increase the physical defense. Body forging cultivation techniques, on the other hand, allowed Zhen Qi to merge into the body and produce strength, directly increasing the physical defense.
Tuo Baku had obviously trained a top rank Earth Realm defense martial art, and he had trained it to its tenth level. But, a tenth level defense martial art would definitely not be able to block out Mo Yan's attack. Don't forget that Mo Yan had also trained a top rank Earth Realm martial art, so it would be at its eleventh level. If it was at its eleventh level, then it might actually be able to achieve this kind of effect, since defense martial arts were all about defense.
Mo Yan was both shocked and furious. What kind of joke was this? He couldn't break through the defense?
"Demon Spirit Finger, break for me!"
His index and middle fingers were dyed black as Mo Yan yelled and pointed at Tuo Baku's ribs.
"Good timing! Wild God Fist! " Tuo Baku did not try to dodge at all. He threw out a punch, planning to trade 'wound' for wound. He had no concept of defense or dodging at all.
With a punch, a dragon roared and a tiger roared, and the air collapsed.
Facing this punch, Mo Yan even felt so tiny, as if he was admitting defeat. He could not help but be shocked. His finger attack could indeed wound Tuo Baku, but he knew very well that Tuo Baku would only be slightly wounded, and would still be able to fight. But if he was hit by this punch, he would at least be badly wounded.
"Ghost Shadow Perplexing Steps!"
His body flashed, and Mo Yan's body blurred, as if he had turned into a black qi flow. He dodged Tuo Baku's deadly punch and went around to his back.
Chi!
As he pointed out his finger, Tuo Baku's protective zhen Qi layer had been punctured through. His two fingers, which were dyed black, stabbed right into his body. Just when he was about to move forward and cause more damage, a layer of dark blue light blocked out his finger light and bounced back, almost breaking his fingers.
"How is this possible? Even the Demon Spirit Finger couldn't do much damage to him?" Mo Yan hurriedly retreated. His facial expression changed again and again.
Turning around, Tuo Baku touched his back. There was a shallow finger hole, about half an inch deep. Blood was pouring out of it. "Very good. Now I am going to use my real power."
Without wasting any more time, Tuo Baku's body shook, and his aura increased drastically. Blue veins popped out of his neck, and his face turned red. He reached out both of his arms, and the muscles on his arms bulged out. There was a dark blue light inside, which looked like snakes and dragons.
"Ruin Eighteen Fist Attacks!"
Taking a step forward, Tuo Baku threw out a punch towards Mo Yan. Then, the second punch and the third one followed right after, blocking all of Mo Yan's escape routes.
Mo Yan pushed his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Steps Art to its limit, traveling between the incoming fist power. It looked extremely dangerous, like a small boat in the middle of a huge ocean. He could die at any second. However, being one of the top young warriors, Mo Yan would naturally not lose so easily. Until Tuo Baku threw out his seventeenth punch, he still could not hurt Mo Yan.
"Eighteenth Fist Attack, Brutal Dragon Movement!"
As he threw out a punch, the fist power turned into a dragon, waving its claws and roaring into the sky. It opened its mouth and bit onto Mo Yan's body, bringing him towards the dark blue light wall.
When it was less than three meters away from the light wall, the dragon-shaped fist power suddenly cracked open, and Mo Yan jumped out from within. His face was pale, and there were some blood stains on his body.
The Heavenly Demon Eye that came with the Heavenly Demon Art was not just for show. Being bitten by the dragon-shaped fist power, Mo Yan activated the Heavenly Demon Eye and soon found the weakness of the fist power. With a single finger, he broke the restriction. If it were anyone else, they would definitely be helpless.
"Interesting!" An excited light flashed through Tuo Baku's eyes. Ever since he left the place where he had lived for more than ten years, besides the battle with the powerful warrior Ye Chen, he had not met any worthy opponents yet. All the battles before were just for fun.
Murong Qingcheng shook her head. Her head disciple had met his nemesis. Facing Tuo Baku's super powerful defense, the Sky Demon Eyes that could see through all the weaknesses had been pushed aside. Judging on zhen Qi capacity and attacking power, Tuo Baku was still slightly more powerful than her head disciple.
Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng had the same opinion. Among all the contestants, Tuo Baku was without a doubt Mo Yan's biggest nemesis. It did not mean that Mo Yan was weak. In fact, his overall power was almost the same as Tuo Baku's. If it were someone else who had the same power as Tuo Baku, Mo Yan would not be in this kind of situation. He might even have the upper hand. Thinking about that, Ye Chen could not help but be shocked by Tuo Baku's defense. Back in the north of the Black Dragon Empire, Tuo Baku did not use all of his power. As for the reason, he did not really know.
"Mysterious Spirit Finger!"
Performing his Ghost Shadow Art again, Mo Yan's eyes were cold and sharp. He pointed out his index and middle fingers, and that finger light shot towards Tuo Baku's throat.
Tuo Baku threw out a punch, his fist power covering that finger light.
Eh?
That punch had missed. That finger light was very unpredictable, as if it could teleport. It suddenly appeared right in front of Tuo Baku's face, seeming like it was about to destroy his attack.
Right then, Mo Yan did not plan to think about anything else. As long as he could beat Tuo Baku, it would be fine. Therefore, he decided to attack Tuo Baku's eyes, trying to blind him.
"This Mo Yan is so cruel. Other wounds could still be healed, but blindness would be almost impossible. Unless he could find some rare spirit medicine or reach the Life and Death Realm, he would be blind for the rest of his life."
"What else can he do? Tuo Baku's defense is just too insane."
Regarding Mo Yan's method, everyone had different opinions.
He!
Tuo Baku performed his flying art for the first time. He bent his back, looking like a huge dragon swimming in the air, barely dodging that finger light.
"Mysterious Spirit Seven Finger!"
Mo Yan sneered as he reached out both of his hands, shooting out seven finger light in a row.
Swoosh!
Tuo Baku's flying art was still not as good as Mo Yan's. Although he had dodged six of the finger light, he would not be able to dodge the last one. Luckily, he managed to tilt his head at that critical moment. That finger light did not hit his eyes, and only his eyebrows were shaved off.
It was not Tuo Baku's style to be attacked passively. He did not wait for his body to stabilize before he threw out a punch onto the ground. The blue and black light spread out like waves, turning into a zhen Qi black dragon, attacking toward Mo Yan.
Mo Yan was about to perform his flying art to dodge when the zhen Qi black dragon suddenly exploded. It turned into a black halo and shot out, landing on his protective zhen Qi layer.
Boom! Mo Yan was blown backward. His previous small wound combined with the new wound made him unable to hold it anymore. He puked out a huge chunk of blood.
"Brutal Dragon Movement!"
Without stopping, Tuo Baku threw out another punch. The fist power turned into a dragon and bit onto Mo Yan's body for the second time, bringing him toward the dark blue light wall.
A loud sound was heard as Mo Yan fell onto the ground.
"Tuo Baku wins!"
The judge announced the result in time. Mo Yan's wound was not light, and everyone from the Sky Demon Martial School must be panicking. They would not dare to waste any more time.
"Hehe, this is great!"
Tuo Baku was enjoying himself. It had been a long time since he had this kind of feeling.
Looking at Tuo Baku, who only had one eyebrow left, Ye Chen shook his head and laughed. It was Mo Yan's misfortune to run into him. But even if he could not run into him now, he would still run into him in the ranking competitions. It would be impossible for him to avoid it. Plus, he and the top young warriors would each have their own battles, including Murong Qingcheng.
Ye Chen looked over at Murong Qingcheng, and she happened to look over as well.
Murong Qingcheng smiled lightly and said with her zhen Qi, "In the ranking competitions, I will not give up."
"Of course." Ye Chen would not underestimate Murong Qingcheng, because judging from her soul power, she was even more powerful than Mo Yan, just like the "Fire Spirit Prince" Yan Chihuo, Lin Yun, and the "Heartless Sword Artist" Li Daoxuan. No one would believe it even if he said it out. Although there was a difference in power and battling power, and the more powerful warriors might not be able to beat the slightly weaker ones, the more powerful ones would have a higher chance of winning. It was rare for the weaker ones to beat the stronger ones after all. Plus, Murong Qingcheng was one of the calmest warriors he had ever met. She could be ranked in the top three, and Lin Yun and Mo Yan were both weaker than her in terms of calmness.
The two looked away and did not look at each other again.
The tenth round of competitions was a bit slower. It was the last round, and a lot of the young warriors who might be able to make it to the next round had revealed all of their ace attacks. Whether they could make it to the Hidden Dragon Rank or not, it all depended on this moment.
After a while, Xu Jing had beaten her opponent and was ranked fourth in the ranking. She would definitely make it to the Hidden Dragon Rank.
Right now, only Lynch was left on the stage.
After two battles, Lynch went up. His opponent was not easy to deal with. His score was one point higher than his. One of them was ranked tenth while the other was ranked eleventh. Whoever lost would probably fall out of the top twelve and lose the chance to make it to the Hidden Dragon Rank.
The battle had been going on for a long time, and both of them had been wounded.
Roar!
As his zhen Qi was running out, Lynch had exploded. He did not care about his defense at all as he attacked his opponent in a brutal and bloody way. It seemed like he was going to risk his life.
His opponent was very strong, but unfortunately, he was not as brave and fearless as Lin Qi. Under Lin Qi's crazy attacks, his opponent retreated again and again. In the end, he revealed a flaw and was defeated by Lin Qi, whose white clothes were stained with blood.
Right now, Lynch was almost certain to make it to the Hidden Dragon Rank.
Time flew like water.
After half an hour, the tenth round had finished completely. The top twelve warriors of each group would make it to the Hidden Dragon Rank and become the new powerful warriors on the Hidden Dragon Rank. The rest of them would lose the chance to make it to the Hidden Dragon Rank. However, those who were older than twenty-one years old would still have a chance to make it to the next Hidden Dragon Rank.
