Chapter 388: Never Forget the History

People started to realize that if the situation continued, Li s.h.i.+ming might be in mortal danger. All would be lost for House Li if Li s.h.i.+ming were killed on the stage there and then.

Lee Xin knew that this overbearing attack was necessary to defeat Li s.h.i.+ming. He had been attacking for a while, and therefore, he had consumed much more physical strength and soul energy than his opponent. The hope of defeating Li s.h.i.+ming would hinge on this one final strike. Therefore, he would have to make sure that this one counted. His opponent's safety was already out of the equation, since Lee Xin had always treated the tournament as a real battlefield.

The lightning ball was huge. It swooped down like a fallen star, aiming directly at Li s.h.i.+ming's head.

However, Li s.h.i.+ming smiled faintly and disappeared into thin air right before the lightning ball hit him. One of the abilities of the Tactics of Vayu was the extremely fast speed, and therefore, Li s.h.i.+ming simply dashed out of harm's way. However, Li s.h.i.+ming was still under the Seal of Thunder, and therefore, the lightning ball was able to detect his movement and trail behind him closely. As the lightning ball was about to hit Li s.h.i.+ming, Li s.h.i.+ming charged up his soul energy and swept Vayu in the air, causing a gale that immediately surrounded the lightning ball and slowed it down. Meanwhile, Li s.h.i.+ming executed an almost impossible maneuver and s.h.i.+fted his body out of the way as the lightning ball whizzed past him.

Lee Xin was caught off guard by the backfire and instinctively raised the Thunder Blade to block the incoming lightning ball.

"Kaboom!"

The entire arena trembled after the impact.

Lee Xin was. .h.i.t by his own coup de grace. When the dust finally settled, the match was also over.

Although Li s.h.i.+ming didn't dominate the fight, he had won the match using to his calmness and experience.

Cheers from the Earthling audiences erupted like an explosion. This was a suspenseful match, and the Earthlings had been holding back their cheers and applause for too long.

Li s.h.i.+ming shook his head, seemingly disappointed at the real power of the Tactics of the Thunder Blade.

"He handled it very well. What an experienced and deadly fighter!" Michaux exclaimed. This fight would not be nearly as memorable if Li s.h.i.+ming hadn't held back his power. Li s.h.i.+ming had proven his might as well as wits by overcoming a level six fighter using only level five soul energy. It was obvious then that Li s.h.i.+ming had been very confident about his ability from the beginning, and he had just shown that his confidence was founded on solid performance.

Although he was disappointed by his opponent, Li s.h.i.+ming bowed to his audiences polity before he was about to walk off the stage.

"Li s.h.i.+ming, where are you going? We have just started."

"Kom!"

Lee Xin appeared in front of Li s.h.i.+ming, blocking his way. The lightning had burned off his clothes, revealing a lightning-shaped-tattoo on his chest.

Li s.h.i.+ming paused in his track, surprise written all over his face. "I knew you were better than this!"

"Hehe. My father had invented this new cultivation method by absorbing the nature's energy, and thanks to that breakthrough, he was able to become the only Einherjar who was not from the five houses. However, people usual mistakenly think that that is all he is good at. "

Even as the heir of the Thunder Blade spoke to Li s.h.i.+ming, his body started to s.h.i.+mmer with a green l.u.s.ter. As soon as he finished the last word, Lee Xin disappeared into thin air.

Li s.h.i.+ming's instinct told him that an attack was coming, so he raised Vayu to block. The attack was powerful, and Li s.h.i.+ming was forced to take a few steps back.

Li s.h.i.+ming sensed that Li Xin didn't only utilize the soul energy in his last attack, but also the energy from the lightning ball. He suddenly realized that Lee Xin had practically turned himself into to a vehicle like the Thunder Blade to contain the absorbed energy.

"Li s.h.i.+ming, if you want to fight Patroclus, you better pa.s.s me first." Lee Xin reappeared in front of Li s.h.i.+ming and announced.

Li s.h.i.+ming cracked a smile as he posed Vayu about his waist. As he charged up his soul energy, a gale swept across the stage like a hurricane. Suddenly, the wild wind turned into a thousand tiny blades, hurling towards Lee Xin. Finally, Li s.h.i.+ming had reached level six!

"Haha! Awesome! Now I don't need to hold back my power either!" Lee Xin shouted and lashed out the Thunder Blade at Li s.h.i.+ming. However, he missed his target as Li s.h.i.+ming disappeared right before the blow was about to land on him. Seeing that his first attack had missed, Lee Xin followed with a few dozen blows, but none of them had landed on target.

Thus it was, the real power of the Tactics of Vayu was its incredible speed.

Suddenly, Li s.h.i.+ming appeared above Lee Xin as he bore down on him with a powerful attack—The Vayu's Denial!

Although Lee Xin was a very powerful fighter, he was not nearly as fast as Li s.h.i.+ming. The blow struck home and the impact sent an explosion throughout the arena.

Lee Xin had successfully blocked the attack with Thunder Blade. Li s.h.i.+ming quickly changed his position, and everyone watched as Lee Xin's body was picked up by an invisible hand. As Lee Xin wiggled in the air to break free, he started to spin as if he were held in the center of a tornado. A thousand tiny blades appeared from thin air and started to attack Lee Xin, nibbling away his defense.

Suddenly, the tornado hurled his body to the other end of the stage. Even before Lee Xin was about to thud back to the ground, a dark shadow appeared right above him. It was Li s.h.i.+ming, and he bore down both GN-force-charged fists at the defenseless Lee Xin.

The fists. .h.i.t squarely at Lee Xin's chest and completely crumbled his defense.

"Kom!"

After the dust had settled, Li s.h.i.+ming finally unsheathed Vayu. On the other end of the stage, Lee Xin lied inside a small crater in the floor motionlessly.

This was the true power of Li s.h.i.+ming, heir to the legendary general Li Feng.

The Earthlings shouted out his name feverishly. Any attempt to undermined House Li's dominance was futile. On the other hand, the Ivantians were shaken after their fighter's defeat, as they marveled at Li s.h.i.+ming's ability. Not only was he able to lure his opponent to unleash the full power of the Thunder Blade, but he also annihilated Lee Xin once he had seen enough.

Patroclus smiled faintly; he was satisfied by Li s.h.i.+ming's performance.

"Are you sure you can handle that?" Surprised by Li s.h.i.+ming's power, Zhang Jin was no longer certain if Patroclus would be able to defeat him with ease.

"No." Patroclus cracked a smile. "I won't know for sure until I fight him."

"Well, well, after all these years, you two will finally make an end to the centuries-old feud." Zhang Jin lamented.

"There is someone else."

"Who?"

"w.a.n.g Tong. Jin, I have never been so happy before." Patroclus sauntered out of the room after he finished his words.

w.a.n.g Tong and Michaux smiled at each other knowingly, and w.a.n.g Tong said, "It's our turn."

"See you in a bit!"

As the two patted on each other's shoulder and left for their preparation room, people around them felt they were more like friends than opponents.

Unlike the last fight, the fight between Michaux and w.a.n.g Tong lacked any suspense, since everyone believed that Michaux would be the winner. Although w.a.n.g Tong had been lucky and even defeated Li Ruoer, everyone thought that his lucky streak would end here.

All students of Ayrlarng had been waiting for this glorious moment, regardless of their odds of winning.

Under thousands of pairs of antic.i.p.ating eyes, Michaux and w.a.n.g Tong walked onto the stage at the same time. In the private session, Li s.h.i.+ming sat in the front row, watching the two quietly.

Everyone shouted the name of their fighter at the top of their lungs. Karl was so excited that he almost pa.s.sed out from shouting for too long.
