Garon slowly extended his hand and looked at his palm. His slightly swollen palm faintly glowed with a metallic black luster.
He felt that the Blood Ball in his body did not release any blood to help his body expand.
"This feeling is not the full power of the Mammoth Secret Technique when it expands, but it is slightly stronger than normal. The expansion of my body is not that big either, so I'll just take it as a status. "
Garon waved his arm forcefully and felt that the hardness of his skin was about half of what it was when he was at full power. At the same time, it was almost twice as strong as normal. Since he had mastered the Mammoth Secret Technique, his full power was now equivalent to four times his normal defense. This terrifying Body Hardening Technique allowed him to block most martial artists' attacks with just his eyelids.
Slowly relaxing his body, Garon's huge body of nearly 1.9 meters gradually shrunk as if air had been released, returning to a height of 1.7 meters. In his normal state, he looked just like a normal person who was slightly stronger. However, because of his overly strong physique, he no longer looked like a seventeen-year-old youth, but more like an adult.
Knock knock knock! Knock knock knock!
Suddenly, there was an urgent knock on the wooden door of the dojo.
"Brother Garon! Not good, the people from Celestial Circle Gate are here! "Imogen Lilly's voice came from outside the door.
"Celestial Circle Gate! Andrela? "Garon walked over and opened the locked wooden door.
Outside the door, Imogen Lilly looked panicked and was still wearing her black nightgown.
"Don't worry, what's the situation now?" Garon asked softly.
"I don't know, the people from Celestial Circle Gate have all stayed in a hotel near the train station, but no one saw Andrela and the others in the lead. What should we do, Brother Garon!? "Imogen Lilly was at a loss.
"The Southern Twelve Gates are one of the targets of Celestial Circle Gate. Don't forget that there's still the July Gate and the Red Obsidian Gate that joined them. These two sects are definitely not to be trifled with. Let's see the results first. There's no rush. "Garon smiled and comforted her, gently rubbing Imogen's head.
Sensing Garon's relaxed mood, Imogen Lily couldn't help but slowly relax and become less anxious.
In fact, she didn't know why she was so anxious. She just panicked when she heard that the Celestial Circle Gate was coming.
"The Celestial Circle Gate set out in an open and aboveboard manner to challenge the sect and engage in a direct battle. They walked the path of the open and aboveboard. If they wanted to unify the entire Southern Martial Arts world, they had to abide by the rules of the environment. Otherwise, they would only end up in a state of disunity. Therefore, as long as we face the enemy head-on, we don't have to worry about any backup plans. After all, the Celestial Circle Gate is very confident in their strength … "Garon said lightly. "If I'm not mistaken, Andrela should be facing July Gate by now."
He faintly looked in the direction of the July Gate headquarters, an inexplicable look flashing in his eyes.
*****
Da da da …
The sound of hurried footsteps surrounded a small three-story hotel near the train station.
Police cars were scattered all around, completely isolating this large area.
Under the night sky, a cold-looking young man in a black leather jacket with silver hair draped over his shoulders was unusually handsome. Coupled with his slender waist and slender legs, he presented a kind of neutral beauty. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have an Adam's apple and breasts, no one would think that he was a man.
The man's gaze was calm as he slowly wore a black and red metal boxing glove. It was full of spikes and looked unusually ferocious.
"Chief Karaan, I'll have to trouble you to help us isolate this time," he said lightly.
A middle-aged man with a big belly beside him nodded with a smile. "Minister Shia, you're too polite. It's my honor to be able to help the July Group. Moreover, the governor of the city government has indicated that we must fully cooperate with all the affairs of the July Group. This is also the obligation of our city police."
The beautiful man called Minister Shia nodded and didn't say anything else. He waved his hand.
Immediately, groups of people in black uniforms neatly opened a small gap for him to enter.
Shia walked into the encirclement and looked up at the window on the third floor of the white building.
"July Gate's Shia Ludani is here to welcome Senior Brother Andrela from Celestial Circle. Please come out and meet us."
His voice was clear and neutral, with the gentleness of a woman and the toughness of a man. It gave people a strange feeling of coldness.
There was no noise in the surroundings. Hundreds of people in black surrounded the small building, but there was no sound at all. Even the policemen on the outside couldn't help but be affected by the tense atmosphere and lowered their voices.
The small building was quiet, and no one answered.
Shia sneered.
"I'm indebted to Celestial Circle Gate at the conference. This time, Senior Brother Lara came to our Dinah City. As the host, of course, I have to treat you well. Are you not going to give me face, Shia, the seniors and juniors of Celestial Circle Gate? "
There was still no sound in the small building.
Shia's expression was a little unpleasant.
"Since Senior Brother doesn't want to come out, I'll invite you out myself!"
Small black daggers slowly appeared in the hands of the surrounding people in black, and a cruel sneer appeared on their faces. They were one of the most elite core teams of July Gate. Unlike other small sects, July Gate was able to develop to such a large scale, and the July Group was able to become one of the top teams in the entire province. It was because of teams like them that they were able to fight for the world.
In the sound of soft footsteps, more than a dozen people in black rushed to the entrance of the small building. Before they reached the door, a silver light suddenly lit up, and drew a semicircle in the air.
More than a dozen people let out a muffled cry and flew backward. A thin slit appeared on everyone's body, but it was only their clothes that were cut open, and they didn't hurt their bodies.
At the entrance of the small building, a young man with purple-red hair slowly walked out. He was wearing a white uniform, and there was a cross-shaped Celestial Circle Gate symbol on his chest.
"If you want to see Senior Brother, you'll have to go through us." He calmly stared at Shia, who was in front of everyone, and a hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes.
"One of the Four Rings of Celestial Circle Gate, Xin Luo," he slowly said in a low voice. Then, two figures, one tall and one short, slowly walked out from behind him. They were a tall woman and a short and skinny boy.
"Xin Luo?" Shia's eyes narrowed into a line, and his entire person was sharp and cold. "I've long heard that the Four Rings of Celestial Circle Gate have always had four people. Why is there one less now?"
He knew very well that the Four Rings were the strongest four people in the Celestial Circle Gate who were ranked below Andrela. They were also the four people who were most likely to compete for the position of Senior Brother. Their strength was definitely not an ordinary small fry.
It would have been better if he didn't mention this, but once he did, the three people's faces looked a little ugly.
"Tenstar Ni's skills were not good enough, and he deserved to be killed. How dare you speak to my Celestial Circle Gate like this, let me see what kind of strength you have! "
Before he finished speaking, Xin Luo stepped on the ground, and his entire body spun to the left like a spinning top, rushing into the group of black-clothed people who were surrounding him.
Ding ding ding!!
In a series of metal clashing sounds, most of the black-clothed people were injured by the black sword shadow. Only a few veterans who reacted in time used their daggers to block the thin sword.
More than ten black-clothed people did not retreat, and instead, they rushed forward. They were not afraid of the slash of the thin sword, and the daggers in their hands stabbed at Xin Luo.
Ah!!
A black-clothed person suddenly retreated, holding his right hand and screaming. His right palm was cut off from the wrist, and blood quickly flowed to the ground like a fountain. Two people immediately came from behind to treat his wound.
"Get out of the way! Let me do it! "Shia's face turned cold, and he rushed out. The boxing gloves on his hand drew a dark red line.
Just then, the group of black-clothed people immediately dispersed, and a well-trained opening for one person to enter and exit was revealed.
Shia punched at Xin Luo's chest, and the fingers of his right hand closed together, silently pointing at his lower abdomen. The boxing gloves attacked the front, blocking the left hand that followed from behind.
This was the July Gate's most famous Yin Intercepting Finger. Once it touched a person's body, it would cause the blood vessels to burst and internal bleeding. The surface skin would not be damaged at all, and it was very vicious.
The fingernails on Shia's left hand were slightly purple, showing a strange luster. Hidden under the boxing gloves, it was like a venomous snake in the shadows, vicious and hidden.
The two of them collided in an instant.
Crack!
The black sword shadow clanged between the sharp thorns of the boxing gloves, and was twisted by the thorns, breaking instantly.
Shia's left hand's Yin Intercepting Finger pointed at Xin Luo's lower abdomen, but it was also deflected by a hand knife from above, hitting the empty space.
The two of them took a few steps back respectively, and a look of fear flashed across their faces.
"No wonder you dare to come here with such a small number of people. Good, good, good!" Shia's face alternated between green and white. Although he had a small advantage, Xin Luo's strength was indeed only slightly weaker than his. They were both stuck at the threshold of the Grandmaster of Combat, not to mention the other two masters of the same level, and Andrela who stood behind them.
He had originally planned to quickly get rid of these people and directly recruit Andrela, but he did not expect …
"As expected of the Four Rings of Star Ring! Go! "
He suddenly raised his hand, and the hundreds of men in black around him immediately rushed forward.
*****
Phew …
Garon let out a long breath.
Ever since he returned to Huaishan, he had been thinking about how his perfect martial arts system should be.
He had always taken the path of strength and defense, but such a path did not have enough speed. Once he met someone who was much faster than him, he could only fall into a situation where he could only be beaten. Although such a master had not appeared yet, it did not mean that there would not be one in the future.
A perfect martial arts system should have a way to restrain and deal with any situation. An excessive shortcoming would only be a fatal flaw.
And that time when he faced Sylphalan's illusory power, he also had no way to deal with it.
This was his weakness, and since it was a weakness, he needed to make up for it.
"Speed …" Garon sat cross-legged in the training hall. The morning sun shone faintly on his body, plating his entire naked upper body with a layer of light gold.
He got up early in the morning and began to adjust his condition. They had arrived at the Celestial Circle Gate, and a battle could break out at any time. This was a victory or defeat in front of everyone's eyes. Once he lost, it also meant that the White Cloud Gate behind him had lost. As the current representative, his fall meant the fall of the White Cloud Gate.
