Apocalypse: Grinding EXP through Hunting

Chapter 225: Chapter 216: Sixth Grade Showdown? Identity Exposed

In other words, if both of them were Extraordinaries right now, Bai Shuo probably wouldn’t have been able to fend him off.

The Wind Division’s Qinggong, [Carefree Wanderer], was arguably unrivaled.

It was nimble and graceful, like riding the wind itself.

Without hesitation, Tang Wen used the Shadow Nether Step, transforming into a black shadow that stuck to Bai Shuo, never letting the gap between them widen.

For long-distance travel, Carefree Wanderer was incredibly fast, letting one ride the wind.

But for short-range bursts, the Martial Arts of the other divisions were not lacking.

Bai Shuo’s eyes narrowed in shock. ’This kid is a true monster. His Spiritual Power is so formidable; I assumed he spent most of his energy honing it.’

’I never expected his explosive power in a close-quarters fistfight to be this incredible!’

’And he’s mastered the Dark Division’s footwork so completely!’

’Where did he find the time?’

’How is this possible?’

’Even if he’s eighteen... no, let’s say nineteen!’

’He could have started training in his mother’s womb and still wouldn’t have had time to comprehend the Dark Division’s Cultivation Technique after honing his Spiritual Power and tempering his body!’

Bai Shuo straightened his palm into a blade and chopped at Tang Wen.

An invisible ripple cut through the air, and Tang Wen ducked sharply.

SWISH!

The wind passed without a trace, splitting a massive boulder behind him in two.

Wind Kill sent out a flurry of Wind Blades.

A black mist emanated from Tang Wen’s hands, concealing their color. The black Golden Bell Shield had already crept silently up his arms.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

With a series of sharp reports, his fists shattered several Wind Blades.

In that brief delay, Bai Shuo finished regulating his breath.

Unleashing a Visualization Burst, he lunged forward.

[Gale and Torrential Rain]

His fists were like whips, cracking as they lashed down. Each strike contained enough power to shatter metal and split stone.

[Night Divine Fist—Fifth Form, Ghost Shadow Hand]

The air filled with black handprints of all sizes, moving as fast as afterimages. Slapping, blocking, and parrying, they intercepted every single attack.

Not far away, Bai You Ruo and Bai Xue’s mouths hung open.

They could no longer clearly see the movements of the two fighters.

’Is the gap between a Peak Martial Artist and an Extraordinary really that big?’

’That’s impossible!’

The two of them cultivated in the Bai Family, and from time to time, an Extraordinary would come to spar with them.

They knew perfectly well what an Extraordinary was capable of.

The two women turned to look at General Zhao, who was standing to the side.

They saw that the Extraordinary’s brow was deeply furrowed.

Clearly, even he was having trouble following the two combatants.

BANG!

Tang Wen blocked with both hands, taking a direct hit.

It was like being struck head-on by a Siege Hammer.

Fortunately, his Defense Power was comparable to the walls of a great city.

He only retreated a few steps from the blow.

Bai Shuo sensed that he couldn’t let this continue. ’If we keep fighting like this for much longer, this kid will start to look down on me.’

So, he spoke up. "Xiaotang, you are outstanding, even among Extraordinaries. Next, I will show you the methods of the Sixth Grade Gangwu Realm."

Tang Wen grunted in acknowledgment, his eyes narrowing as he braced himself.

Bai Shuo formed his palm into a blade and slowly chopped down.

This was different from his previous Wind Kill.

Tang Wen, who was a good ten feet away, had his expression change instantly. ’The Gangwu Realm—using Gang Qi to injure from a distance.’

In a flash, he activated the Golden Bell Shield at full power.

A pitch-black color spread over him.

Tang Wen’s hands went numb, and he used the Nether Step to dodge.

He looked down to see a deep white mark on his forearms.

’Gang Qi!’

’The hallmark of the Gangwu Realm.’

Tang Wen no longer dared to block the attacks directly, instead weaving and dodging.

The Sword Gang that Bai Shuo casually threw out landed on the ground, turning sand and stone to dust and leaving cracks in the earth.

[Dark Binding]

He was using the same trick again!

Bai Shuo shook his head. ’This kid has surprised me quite a bit, but this is where it ends.’

’Kid Tang Wen, when you’re the weaker one fighting up, always remember: never use the same move twice.’

The moment the Nine-Story Black Tower pressed down, Sword Qi erupted from Bai Shuo’s body, soaring into the sky.

Only then did Tang Wen realize with a start, ’Even though Bai Shuo doesn’t have a sword with him, he’s a master of the blade!’

But since he dared to use Dark Binding, he was naturally prepared for Bai Shuo to break free instantly.

’I thought Bai Shuo would use the Wind Division Step, but he used a Sword Skill instead!’

The Nine-Story Black Tower wasn’t shattered by the single slash, but it reconstructed itself in the span of a single breath.

Tang Wen had used more than half of his Spiritual Power!

Thirty pictographs blazed with a brilliant light.

The Nine-Story Tower reappeared.

Surprised, Bai Shuo unleashed another slash.

The thirty-first pictograph lit up brightly in his Sea of Consciousness!

The Nine-Story Tower pressed down once more.

Tang Wen’s steps were like the wind as he closed the distance.

As soon as he got close, he heard the sound of rushing wind.

A whistling wind!

’Gang Qi can not only be projected outward, it can also protect the body.’

’A protective aura of Gang-wind.’

"So what if you get close? You still have a Killing Move, kid?"

The Nine-Story Tower was being held at bay by a blade, the two forces locked in a struggle.

Without hesitation, Tang Wen leaned forward, pushing on as if walking into a gale.

Finally, he was right in front of Bai Shuo!

His spine, a great dragon, snapped back like a taut bow. With a twitch of his waist, Tang Wen’s fist shot out to shatter mountains—[Mountain Shattering Cannon·Sixfold Shocking Fist].

His black arm plunged into the protective gang-wind.

The fist carried a terrifying Power.

"Multiple Shocking Fist?!" Bai Shuo’s expression changed drastically, his earlier casual demeanor gone.

The terrifying, giant blade swelled in size, instantly shattering the bindings of the Nine-Story Black Tower.

But in his haste, Bai Shuo could only raise his elbow to meet the punch.

BOOM.

Bai Shuo retreated several steps before steadying himself.

Tang Wen’s other fist was already there.

Another Shocking Fist.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Bai Shuo was struggling to fend off the blows. However, as a renowned genius of the Bai Family, his mind was stable, and he quickly regained his composure.

Seizing an opportunity, he threw a punch of his own.

Shocking Fist versus Shocking Fist.

A shockwave swept through the area.

’Dammit!’

’What kind of monster is this kid!’

Bai Shuo took another step back.

Tang Wen, however, only swayed. He still had enough strength to press the attack, but he stopped and turned to look at a spot in the darkness.

Bai Shuo regulated his breathing and followed his gaze. "We’re too close to Ganshan City, and we’re making too much noise. Someone’s coming. Let’s get out of here."
