âF*ck! Itâs against all logic for a fat guy like this to cultivate and become a martial artist!â Jing Shan could not resist taunting.
âIs he a purely power-type martial artist? Trouble seems to be brewing for Hellasâs Arina,â Lin Xi said with a frown.
As a woman herself, she knew exactly how other women would feel. The thought of going up against Zokawa was enough to make their head ache.
First, there was nausea and fear. Second, the opponentâs attack and defense were surely very strong and far exceeded that of a woman.
Ye Lingchen said, âJust watch. I have a feeling that those from Hellas are more than meets the eye.â
Arinaâs face was calm throughout and her long purple hair made her look rather noble. In fact, one could see pride and nobility from her expression.
âStart!â
Arina backed off as soon as the referee gave the go-ahead. With her shield in front of her and the spear behind her, she stared at Zokawa with those blue pupils.
âBoom!â
The heavy hammer in Zokawaâs hand crashed to the ground and immediately left a deep hole in it.
Instead of rushing to attack, he dragged the hammer and walked step-after-step toward Arina.
The audience was a little confused by the scene on the battlefield, as one advanced forward while the other stepped backward.
âThis isnât good,â Zheng Dali frowned suddenly and said in a solemn voice.
âWhatâs wrong? Did you notice something?â Chen Xiaoxiao asked.
âArina will lose if this goes on.â Zheng Dali explained, âZokawa is a power-type martial artist, which is more or less the same as me. A martial artist like this has one characteristic, which is energy storage! The more they are able to power-up, the higher their explosive power. In most cases, victory is almost a sure thing!
âThe reason Zokawa isnât attacking is because heâs gaining momentum. Once he unleashes it, it would certainly cause a sensation!â
âThis Hellas girlâs understanding of combat seems a bit poor, doesnât it?â Jing Shan frowned. âAnyone who has a bit of combat experience will certainly not let their opponents do this. The Sun Nation is really lucky.â
Everyone watched closely.
Finally, there came a moment when Zokawa shook his wrist all of a sudden. His body sank, and that fat figure of his unexpectedly resembled a hungry tiger ambushing its prey!
Bang!
After slamming his foot on the ground, his body soared suddenly into the air. He rushed forward a couple of meters in the blink of an eye and swung the heavy hammer from the sky, smashing it right at Arina!
âSo fast!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Everyone felt astonished. They did not expect a body as fat as that to have such strong explosive power. His speed was not at all slow!
The crowd shifted their anxious gazes over to Arina. At that juncture, she was like a little lamb that would be smashed into mincemeat at any time!
Amazingly, Arinaâs approach to face that hammer was nothing more than raising the shield in her hand!
Boom!
The heavy hammer struck the shield and the resulting air wave was overwhelming, forming a huge spiritual storm that extended toward the surroundings and left a deep hole on the ground. However, Arina only retreated by eight steps before stopping and she seemed completely unharmed!
âHow is that possible?!â
Aside from everyone else, Ye Lingchen was also stunned too.
Even Ye Lingchen did not dare to take that blow lightly, for it had gone beyond all logic and sense.
âMagical weapon! That shield is a magical weapon! â Jing Shan was already clamoring. âHellas cheated!â
Sun Hongtao hurriedly grabbed him and shoved a piece of wood into his mouth. The formerâs face was red and he lashed out in a low voice, âShut your trap if youâre uncultured. Donât put shame on us!â
He then continued, âThis is Hellasâs power. They call it the Power of Gods.â
âThe Power of Gods? Thatâs such an awesome name.â Ye Lingchen looked at Sun Hongtao in surprise.
âThe reason why I told you to pay attention to Hellas is precisely because of this,â Sun Hongtao remarked plainly. âThere are many myths and legends in Hellas, such as Athena the goddess of wisdom and victory, Zeus the ruler of gods, Apollo the god of war, and so on so forth. They practice in temples too, and they rely on the guidance of these legendary gods in their cultivation.â
âGods guiding them to practice? Isnât that nonsense?â Jing Shan had already removed the wood from his mouth and continued to yell.
The next moment however, Sun Hongtao stuffed it back it
âThatâs the way everyone else cultivates. Who knows whether itâs true or false? In any case, their practice is indeed called the Power of Gods,â Sun Hongtaoâs tone had traces of amazement. âLegend has it that the will of gods can create everything and bestow everything to all living things. Such godly power is also known as the will of God.â
âYou mean that their power is actually similar to a kind of willpower that can change the attributes of a particular thing?â Ye Lingchen asked.
âYes,â Sun Hongtao nodded. âFor example, if the will to sharpen is applied to a knife, the knife will become infinitely sharp and invincible. If they will their strength and apply it to a punch, the power of that punch would then become extremely powerful.â
âWhat an odd ability. Can they change the world with this will, then?â
âTheoretically speaking, yes. A shattered mirror can come back together again, and spilt water can be recollected. Itâs all theoretically possible.â
That would be really awesome.
In spite of that, Ye Lingchen also knew that theoretical things were almost impossible to achieve. A warrior could, in theory, smash the earth with one punch, but would anyone really be able to cultivate to that level?
As they spoke, Zokawa had already dealt three more attacks to Arina, all of which were blocked by that little shield!
âWhat an amazing defense. Each strike of Zokawaâs hammer is equivalent to a mid-level Innateâs full blow, but Arina could actually withstand it without any harm to herself. Itâs really amazing. Is she planning to exhaust Zokawa completely?â Wu Tianbao remarked.
Everyone thought that Zokawa would change his tactics, because continuing like that would only be detrimental for him.
However, the next scene surprised everyone.
Zokawa was dealt blow after blow with his hammer, as if he was doing so in a tireless manner. Each strike was faster than the previous one, and each strike increased in terms of weight!
One minute!
30 strikes of the hammer!
Everyone was on the edge of their seat by then. The spiritual power of those 30 strikes was equivalent to a total of five mid-level Innate Stage martial artists!
Even the five peak-level King Stage martial artists were looking quite solemn.
âIs this a natural divine power, or a Spirit-Devouring Constitution?â Zhou Jian asked and narrowed his eyes.
âItâs probably the Spirit-Devouring Constitution!â the woman from England said. âEvery strike of his hammer isnât based on physical strength, but contains a lot of spiritual power.â
âIf it really is the Spirit-Devouring Constitution, the potential is absolutely terrifying,â someone said.
One of the signs that a martial artist could advance to the King Stage was a harmony of their body and spiritual power. The spiritual power of their entire body was endless and inexhaustible. On the other hand, that particular characteristic was inherent in the Spirit-Devouring Constitution!
It was only a matter of time for someone with the Spirit-Devouring Constitution to advance to the King Stage.
For the record, it was only because of Ye Lingchenâs adept endurance training that made it easier for his body to merge together with his spiritual power. The effects that would result from the Spirit-Devouring Constitution was completely absent.
âThis fat guy is defying all logic.â
It was originally assumed that Zokawa would be forced to change his attack method, but at that point, Arina was the one who seemed to have to switch things up...
