Chapter 361: Chapter 282: The Greatly Improved Strength of Huang Xiang
Seeing Su Yuan agree, Seth smiled, then looked towards the platform.
At this moment, Huang Xiang had already ascended the platform.
The green-haired girl saw that Huang Xiang was only at the Silver Stage and couldn’t help but feel some contempt.
This contempt was not unwarranted. The green-haired girl herself had already achieved five consecutive victories. To win against five of the same stage without exhaustion showed her strength was impressive, far surpassing the average Gold Early Stage level!
“Come on, a Silver Stage dares to step up. Let me see what you’re capable of.” The green-haired girl waved, signaling Huang Xiang to make the first move.
Huang Xiang didn’t hesitate. He clenched his hand into a fist and, with a blur, had already rushed to the green-haired girl’s side. With a low shout, black evil energy surged on his fist as he swung it out forcefully.
The green-haired girl saw that Huang Xiang also used fist techniques, so she didn’t dodge. She snorted coldly and swung her fist to meet his.
“Boom!”
When their fists collided, it produced a dull sound like metal striking metal.
A wave of energy exploded between them. Huang Xiang was forced to retreat several steps, and the green-haired girl at the Gold Level was also shaken back a step!
“How could this be, just a Silver Stage!”
Slightly shaking her slightly sore fingers, the green-haired girl frowned, her initially contemptuous eyes flooded with astonishment.
A Silver Stage actually caused her to retreat a step in a head-on clash?
How could the opponent have such incredible strength!
Below the stage, Su Yuan’s eyes glowed with silver light. He roughly understood the situation.
When Huang Xiang swung that punch, the black energy first damaged his own internal organs in three places!
He harmed himself before harming the enemy.
To injure the enemy by a thousand, he injured himself by eight hundred.
Blue Skill, Seven Injuries Evil Fist!
It was merely a T2 level attack skill, but if executed to self-damage to the extreme, one punch causing seven injuries, its power could even surpass T1 attack skills!
But Su Yuan knew this alone wasn’t enough for Huang Xiang to be just barely at a disadvantage against Gold Level strength.
“Could it be… his strength qualification has reached C!”
Thinking this, Su Yuan couldn’t help but take a deep breath…
Huang Xiang’s “Adaptation” ability could enhance nearly impossible-to-improve Six-dimensional Qualification outside of Awakening.
But achieving a C-level qualification still greatly shocked Su Yuan!
At this time, the green-haired girl who had been shaken back slightly retracted her contempt, adjusted her mindset, and took the initiative to attack.
Huang Xiang’s movements were swift, nearly matching the green-haired girl’s speed. They tangled in close combat with fists and kicks.
“Not only has his strength reached C-level, but his agility also seems to have just entered the C-level threshold…”
Su Yuan continually observed Huang Xiang, noting his strength, speed, and defense. Huang Xiang had become significantly stronger compared to before, almost reaching elite levels!
Through All-Knowing Vision, Su Yuan clearly saw that Huang Xiang wasn’t using other skills to enhance his physical qualities.
This meant that the enhancement mostly came from the improvement of his Six-dimensional Qualification.
Just as Su Yuan marveled at Huang Xiang’s skyrocketing qualifications, the green-haired girl on the stage grew increasingly anxious and fatigued as she fought.
The green-haired girl initially just wanted to observe the levels of these southern gang Star Card Masters but unexpectedly met such a strong opponent.
Although she held the upper hand and had repeatedly hit the opponent several times,
logically, with her attack intensity, even those at the Gold Intermediate and High Stages would suffer light or severe injuries. However, this Silver Stage Star Card Master recovered in no time and charged back!
Not only that, but the opponent seemed to fight more fiercely and valiantly, like an unkillable cockroach!
With her prolonged attack yielding no result, the green-haired girl, finding it increasingly challenging, finally decided to end the fight quickly.
The green-haired girl suddenly stomped the ground, leaping high into the air. Two pairs of pure white Angel Wings appeared on her back, carrying her higher into the sky.
Under the pull of the Four-winged Angel Wings, hundreds and thousands of light beams converged on her right hand. In just a moment, her right fist shone with a hot brilliance like a condensed small sun!
The green-haired girl’s alarming momentum made the onlookers realize she was about to unleash her ultimate move!
“Wow, here comes the big one! Have you ever seen a punch descend from the sky!”
“This move is at least a T1 level attack skill!”
“Descending from the heavens, its power increased by thirty percent. That blonde fellow is just a Silver Stage; he’s in trouble now!”
“Heavenly Fist!”
With a low shout, the green-haired girl flapped her four wings and suddenly charged down from the sky!
Heavenly Fist, an attack skill from the Heaven Plane Four-winged Angels, possessed pure explosive power.
Huang Xiang looked up at the sky, blood mist surging on his body. Chains of blood-red light bound him, blood light swirling as his aura surged!
At the same time, Huang Xiang’s eyes blazed with intense flames. His hands moved like phantoms, unleashing a rapid 72 punches in an instant.
“Blast Bull Demon Fist!”
The 72 explosive fist forces gathered together, forming a massive flaming Bull Demon head, colliding with the descending Heavenly Fist!
“Perfect Level Boiling Blood and Blast Bull Demon Fist?”
Su Yuan smiled, seeing that Huang Xiang had mastered the two blue skills he gave to the Perfect Level, feeling suddenly gratified.
The Bull Demon’s head clashed with the Heavenly Fist, creating a black and white explosion. The immense power caused the Battle Platform’s surface to crack.
Yet, both sides were evenly matched, and the struggle continued!
In a battle of endurance, how could anyone compare to Huang Xiang?
Not to mention his Adaptation talent, just the Boiling Blood’s “the more injured, the stronger” nature generated endless backup power!
In just a few seconds, the green-haired girl had already weakened, unable to hold on.
With another roar, the Bull Demon’s head extinguished the pure white Holy Light and struck the green-haired girl from below, sending her flying.
“Ugh!”
The green-haired girl fell heavily back to the ground, letting out a muffled groan. Her clothes, torn by the Blast Bull Demon Fist, revealed patches of delicate white skin on her shoulders, waist, and legs, causing a commotion among the surrounding crowd.
Huang Xiang scratched his head. “Um… I didn’t mean to.”
When he defeated the Heavenly Fist, Huang Xiang had already withdrawn most of his strength, aware that this was just a friendly match, not a life-and-death struggle.
“It’s fine!” Although the green-haired girl felt slightly embarrassed, she calmly and quickly pulled out a burgundy cloak to cover herself.
She was still a young girl, reflected in her slightly flushed face, contrasting with her outward composure.
After covering herself, the green-haired girl quickly stepped down from the Battle Platform.
“Hey, your Star Stones!”
Huang Xiang saw a thousand Cent Star Stones by the platform. Although he won, Huang Xiang only beat the green-haired girl by 200 cents. The rest were from her previous five matches, totaling 1000 cents, still belonging to her.
The green-haired girl looked at Huang Xiang. “You beat me, so they are all yours now.”
Star Stones meant little. The green-haired girl kept pondering the previous fight. Despite being a friendly match with many strong techniques unused, she was actually defeated by a Silver Stage?
While thinking, she walked towards Su Yuan and Seth, navigating through the crowd.
“It turns out she’s from Seth’s family?” Su Yuan remarked.
Besides the same cloak, Su Yuan noticed Seth’s slightly quickened breath when the green-haired girl was hit by the Bull Demon Fist.
“You have a keen eye, indeed. She is my sister,” Seth smiled and shook his head, then handed over 1000 Cent Star Stones. “You’re very capable, and the wager is fair. Here.”
Su Yuan accepted the Star Stones, inspecting them with a faint silver glow in his eyes before storing them in his ring.
By then, the green-haired girl had arrived, glancing curiously at Su Yuan and Luo Bingtong by his side. She then turned to Seth. “Brother.”
“Aria, are you badly hurt?”
“No worries. He held back in the end. Just minor injuries; I’ll recover with some treatment later.”
“That’s good.” Seth nodded, introducing to Su Yuan, “This is my sister, Aria. Aria, this is Su Yuan and his…”
Seth glanced at Su Yuan, questioning with his eyes as he looked at Luo Bingtong quietly eating candied fruit by Su Yuan’s side.
Su Yuan said, “Her name is Luo Bingtong.”
“Nice to meet you.” Aria slightly bowed.
“Hello.”
Su Yuan nodded, then looked past Seth and the others, smiling faintly.
Huang Xiang had run over with a handful of Star Stones.
“Miss, your Star Stones!”
Huang Xiang approached Aria, handing her 1000 Cent Star Stones.
“I only won 200 cents. The remaining 1000 are all yours. Here, check if it’s the right amount…”
Aria was slightly surprised a commoner would refuse 1000 Cent Star Stones.
“No need…”
Seeing Aria’s reluctance, Huang Xiang grabbed her hand and shoved the Star Stones into it.
“1000 Cent Star Stones are significant, but we are strangers. I, Huang Xiang, won’t take your things for free.”
Aria stared blankly at this ordinary-looking southern youth, feeling something different from the elite in the academy or various families.
After returning the Star Stones to Aria, Huang Xiang turned around, only to be stunned. Then, joy filled his eyes.
“Su Yuan!!”
Su Yuan smiled. “Long time no see, Huang Xiang.”
Huang Xiang excitedly walked to Su Yuan. “I didn’t expect to meet you today! I guessed you might come to the Dragon Sect Tournament, but I didn’t think we’d meet so soon. The recent events at South Sea and the academy are incredible. You’re my idol!”
Huang Xiang wanted to say more, but Su Yuan patted his shoulder, signaling with his eyes.
Realizing there were others around, Huang Xiang calmed his initial excitement.
Seth, curious about what Huang Xiang said, smiled, “Su Yuan, you know this expert who defeated my sister?”
“Yes, we are friends.”
Seth shook his head, smiling. “Su Yuan, you truly have faith in your friend. To bet 1000 Cent Star Stones on a Silver Stage defeating Aria.”
Huang Xiang asked, “What’s with the 1000 Cent Star Stones?”
Seth replied, “I bet 1000 Cent Star Stones with Su Yuan on who would win between you and my sister. Su Yuan won.”
Realizing Su Yuan bet on him defeating a Gold Level, Huang Xiang grinned, feeling invigorated.
Having encountered Huang Xiang, there was no need to linger.
Huang Xiang expressed a desire to stay in the same hotel as Su Yuan.
“See you later, Su Yuan.” Seth smiled.
“Alright.” Su Yuan replied, then left with Huang Xiang and Luo Bingtong.
