Towards Eternity
Ch 449's. Feng Lang and Hou Lang
The second battle ended with question marks from the spectators.
The actions taken by Zu Zhang made the fight look like it was unfair to some people. Those who did not know Yang Guang at all began to argue that it was likely that Zu Zhang and Yang Guang knew each other and deliberately helped him to win.
There were also people among the audience who knew of Yang Guang's identity making their own opinions. They thought what Zu Zhang did was the right thing.
The technique that Yang Guang would have used before to attack Xue Fu was an elemental sword technique that had a huge damage of a very wide area.
More than half of the arena section that had been covered in domes by Zu Zhang would be destroyed if the technique was unleashed. It was fortunate that Zu Zhang had first prevented Yang Guang from doing so.
In addition to not wanting if until the arena suffered much greater damage, according to him what Yang Guang did was also too excessive just to defeat his opponent.
"Come out, both of you," Zu Zhang told Yang Guang and Xue Fu, who were soon done by the two.
Yang Guang silently walked first, while Xue Fu walked behind him and stared with a hint of fear at Yang Guang.
He clearly remembered the feeling of danger that appeared just a moment ago. For the first time in his life, Xue Fu felt very close to death.
"Hoo!! Yang Guang!"
Exiting the dome of Zu Zhang's creation, Yang Guang was immediately greeted by Weng Ying Luan who blatantly put on an expression of disappointment.
"I'd love to see that last attack of yours!! I'm pretty sure that's a very good technique, aren't I?!" Weng Ying Luan shamelessly asked directly at Yang Guang who was looking at her strangely.
Where might he tell her. Both of them were enemies at the moment, leaking his technique was the same as giving his opponent an advantage.
But, Yang Guang did not think that way at all. According to him, Weng Ying Luan was quite an attractive person, and it was only a matter of time until the two of her became more familiar and friends.
"Yes, that's why I'm going to use one of my ultimate techniques. The technique would fire releasing an incision of light that had an extremely hot temperature that if hit by something would instantly explode," Yang Guang explained to Weng Ying Luan.
Weng Ying Luan nodded in hearing that. Yang Guang's smile was created seeing the ordinary attitude of Weng Ying Luan. As he expected, Weng Ying Luan was an attractive person, just like Weng Lou.
"And of course, if you were exposed to my attack technique, then you would instantly die without leaving any ashes behind." Yang Guang continued his words while shrugging both of his shoulders.
"Huh?! What did you say?! I died by your attack like that? Where possible! Your technique would at most only give me blisters if I was hit by it!"
Weng Ying Luan and Yang Guang also started a debate between the two. Meanwhile, Weng Lou and the others looked at the two while shaking their heads.
The two of them were exactly like little children arguing with each other.
Not far away from them, the figure of the young man with the golden lotus emblem on his back looked seriously at Yang Guang who was arguing with Weng Ying Luan.
"That technique.I didn't expect anyone to make my body tremble because it was eager to fight on this island..." his murmured which then the corner of his eyes moved and saw two new names that had been announced by Zu Zhang above the match arena.
"Feng Lang and.....Weng Baohu Zhe's?"
The youth frowned reading the name of the second participant who was about to fight in the third fight.
He immediately turned his head and looked towards where Weng Baohu Zhe was. It was seen that he was also staring at his name which was above the arena.
"The Weng family." said the young man and clenched his hands hard.
The figure of Weng Baohu Zhe walked forward and then entered into the dome of Zu Zhang's creation along with a middle-aged man who was none other than the man Weng Ning and Weng Lou had previously faced in the selection round yesterday.
He was Feng Lang, Weng Baohu Zhe's first opponent in this semifinal round.
Zu Zhang looked at the two in turn before nodding softly, and calling for the start of the third fight.
***
On the roof of the Arena Matches building.
There were two figures sitting close to each other, and were engrossed in watching the ongoing fight while enjoying the warm tea on the cup in their hands.
Those two figures were Yi Chen, the Great Patriarch of the Northern Heavens Sect, where Weng Lou, Weng Ying Luan, and Lin Mei came from. The other figures were Hou Lang, the figure of a man who was none other than the King of the Middle Region, and the brother of Fang Lang who would soon be fighting each other with Weng Baohu Zhe, who was the only one in the world, the representative of the Weng Ancestral Family.
"You like her are very enthusiastic to watch the fight this time well, Your Majesty," Yi Chen said as he sipped his tea.
Hou Lang laughed softly and looked towards Fang Lang in the arena.
"Honestly, I haven't seen him in a long time. The last time I visited him he kicked me out, and said that he still wanted to hold back even further the level of practice he had, "he replied.
Yi Chen nodded hearing that. He could understand what Fang Lang wanted.
Withholding the break through of the practice level is a way in which the Martial Practitioner will withhold or suppress the level of practice of his own when going to breakthrough into the realm of Soul Unification.
This was done because at the 9th stage of the Soul Cleansing realm, the soul power would surge in great numbers, and would make Martial Practitioners ascend to the next realm in an indeterminate amount of time.
In general, if it is already at the limit of the level of practice, then the level of practice belonging to Martial Practitioners will rise to the next realm by force. However there were also those who kept trying to hold back the level of his practice from rising to the realm of Soul Unification in order to obtain a much greater soul force compared to those who had a level of practice that was same.
Feng Lang was one of these people who kept holding back the increase in his practice level for almost 10 years. Now his soul power had equaled those in the peak 3rd stage Soul Unification realm, and at this moment he had reached his limit.
"It should not be long before he will ascend to the realm of Soul Unification, right? Is it okay for him to continue to participate in this tournament?" ask Yi Chen again.
"Yahhh, I actually asked him last night, but he instead told me to stay calm and let him focus on the tournament. Srrupp....."
The two chatted with each other and continued to observe what would happen next.
Back in the arena grounds, Feng Lang and Weng Baohu Zhe still remained silent in their respective places.
No one wants to attack first. Both of them are equally alert and wary of their opponents.
Although Weng Baohu Zhe had a much higher level of practice than Feng Lang, it did not make him big head at all, even Feng Lang's level of practice that was only at the 9th stage of Soul Cleansing realm made him even more wary of it.
In the audience seating, Weng Tie and the disciples of the Weng Ancestral Family started to shout at the name of Weng Baohu Zhe, trying to give his spirit.
"Why hasn't the Elder launched his attack yet? I'm sure he can win easily against that Feng Lang!" One of the students asked in confusion.
The other disciples also questioned the same thing, only Weng Tie remained silent and observed the arena field.
"Although I know the Elder has quite strong strength, but it seems like his opponent this time is a troublesome person," said Weng Tie.
