< Chapter 83: Yuan Dasheng vs. Meng Chong >
Lava Immortal Palace.
Room Three.
The puppet Meng Chong was surrounded by flickering electric light as he charged towards the Golden Blood Battle Ape, Dasheng, with the speed of lightning.
In the fleeting moment when they crossed paths, Dasheng seized the opportunity. His large hands grasped Meng Chong’s arms and, with the momentum, executed an over-the-shoulder throw.
Bang!
Meng Chong was slammed onto the floor tiles, his vision spinning.
Then, he saw Dasheng’s broad foot stepping towards him, accompanied by a fierce wind.
Meng Chong’s heart trembled, and he shouted inwardly, “Wild Sprint Thunderclap!”
Electric light surged from his body, and he vanished from his original spot.
The next moment, Dasheng’s right foot stomped down hard, shattering the floor tiles.
Meng Chong had pulled back, his spiritual power surging around him, his heart heavy with the situation.
He had already been thrown over the shoulder by Dasheng twice.
“This is a formidable enemy!” Meng Chong quickly adjusted his mindset.
Yuan Dasheng, missing his strike, stood still on the spot.
The scene fell into a brief stalemate.
Outside the Immortal Palace.
Ning Zhuo sat cross-legged on a meditation mat in his underground workshop at home. His eyes were tightly shut, his mind fully engaged, and he was entirely focused on the battle in the Immortal Palace.
One side was Meng Chong, the other was Yuan Dasheng—both possessed immortal potential!
“Meng Chong’s puppet body, in terms of materials and structure, is far inferior to the Golden Blood Battle Ape, Dasheng. This severely hampers his combat effectiveness. However, relying on his immortal potential and the Wild Sprint Thunderclap, he still poses a significant threat. He remains a living being, with combat wisdom far surpassing that of the intelligent Dasheng.”
“Golden Blood Battle Ape, Dasheng’s advantage lies in its mechanical body forged by the Lava Immortal Palace. Its materials and structure far surpass those of the puppet Meng Chong. However, its drawback is that it possesses only eighty percent spirituality, making it less versatile in thought compared to the living Meng Chong.”
“According to the Lava Immortal Palace, even with eighty percent spirituality, it can still utilize the immortal potential of ‘Righteous Bone Gold Frame.’ I wonder what it would be like when truly activated.”
Ning Zhuo continuously evaluated the combat strength of both sides in his mind.
He placed great importance on this battle.
The result of this fight would significantly impact his future decisions.
“Wild Sprint Thunderclap,” Meng Chong softly called out in his heart, suddenly launching himself for the third time towards the Golden Blood Battle Ape, Dasheng.
Meng Chong swiftly closed the distance, almost reaching Dasheng.
When he saw Dasheng extend his hands, his spirit soared, and he exerted all his strength.
In an instant, electric light burst forth from his puppet body, causing Meng Chong’s speed to surge again!
This was the result of his recent special training.
His vision blurred as he circled behind Yuan Dasheng.
“Success!” Meng Chong rejoiced and was about to strike Dasheng’s back. But in the next moment, his legs were pulled, and his body quickly lost balance, his attack abruptly collapsing.
As Meng Chong’s body tilted severely and he tumbled to the ground, he saw the culprit causing his downfall: “Damn, it’s the monkey’s tail!”
Yuan Dasheng’s tail, like a rope whip, had wrapped around Meng Chong’s left leg.
Then, Yuan Dasheng let out a low roar, turned, stepped forward, and raised his fist high, smashing it towards Meng Chong.
Meng Chong was mid-air, and his vision darkened as he saw Yuan Dasheng looming over him like a mountain, rapidly filling his sight.
Yuan Dasheng’s raised fist, like a falling meteor, tore through the air, producing a chilling wind that made Meng Chong’s heart tremble.
“Wild Sprint Thunderclap!” Meng Chong exerted all his strength, unleashing his immortal potential.
Electric light burst forth, allowing him to break free from the monkey tail’s entanglement and regain his freedom, quickly dodging aside.
Bang!
In the next moment, Yuan Dasheng’s fist, like a steel hammer, struck the ground, shattering the floor tiles.
The electric light settled in a corner, revealing the puppet Meng Chong once it dissipated.
Seeing Yuan Dasheng’s fist almost embedded in the tiles, Meng Chong couldn’t help but take a sharp breath. If he had been hit, his fragile puppet body would have surely been destroyed.
Such peril instead fueled Meng Chong’s fighting spirit even more.
“Hahaha,” he laughed aloud, “now this is a challenge, now it’s fun!”
He was enveloped in azure electric light again, launching another charge.
He continued to mobilize his immortal potential but didn’t approach Yuan Dasheng easily. He seemed to transform into a streak of electric light, constantly zigzagging and crisscrossing within Room Three.
The electric light moved so quickly that it left behind trails of lightning shadows in Yuan Dasheng’s eyes.
As time passed, the room filled with more and more lightning shadows, intertwining and forming a giant net, seemingly trapping Yuan Dasheng within.
Seeing this, Ning Zhuo’s heart stirred slightly: “Meng Chong has withstood the immense pressure and made a breakthrough in the midst of battle.”
“He can maintain his maximum speed, and this speed even slightly surpasses his previous limits.”
“This is the power of extraordinary talent!”
Witnessing all this with his own eyes, Ning Zhuo was filled with emotions; truly, this was the mark of immortal talent.
In Room No. 3, electric lights flashed and crossed, while Yuan Dasheng stood silently like an old tree.
It could only passively defend.
It couldn’t keep up with Meng Chong’s speed. Instinctively, it knew that the best response was to remain unchanged.
Suddenly, the electric light veered and struck towards Yuan Dasheng.
Yuan Dasheng raised his hand to block.
With a bang, after the impact, it staggered back a big step.
The electric light that Meng Chong had transformed into bounced off the wall and quickly regained its lost speed, continuing to shuttle back and forth in the checkpoint.
Meng Chong occasionally launched surprise attacks. Yuan Dasheng couldn’t keep up with his speed and was forced to defend passively, accumulating more and more wounds on his body.
Meng Chong laughed heartily, knowing that he had the upper hand.
“This Mechanical Ape’s close combat ability is too strong!”
“At least it’s at the level of a martial arts master, no, it might even be a martial arts grandmaster.”
“But it can’t keep up with my speed. As long as I can keep sprinting, I can definitely wear it down!”
As Meng Chong thought this, his expression suddenly changed dramatically.
Crack, crack.
The electric light on his body flickered twice, then became extremely weak.
He exposed a fatal flaw.
Almost instantly, Yuan Dasheng let out a long roar and took several consecutive steps forward. In just two or three steps, he was already in front of Meng Chong.
Yuan Dasheng shrugged his shoulders and charged forward. Meng Chong’s condition suddenly plummeted, leaving him no time to dodge, and he was struck head-on.
Bang.
The puppet Meng Chong was like a large projectile, crashing into the wall, with his right leg being knocked off entirely.
His entire puppet body rebounded a short distance after hitting the wall.
Just as Meng Chong lifted his head, a strong wind blew, and Yuan Dasheng’s figure loomed like a black mountain.
Yuan Dasheng raised his thigh, and his knee, like a steel cone, broke through the wind with a whistling sound!
Meng Chong instinctively crossed his hands in front of his chest to protect himself.
Bang.
In the next moment, his puppet hands and forearms were shattered by Yuan Dasheng, utterly destroyed!
Meng Chong’s chest suffered a severe blow, more than half shattered, and he was forcefully pushed up to the ceiling by a tremendous force.
His back violently collided with the ceiling, causing countless cracks to erupt.
Meng Chong gritted his teeth in secret, feeling immense fury and battle intent surge within him after being beaten so brutally.
However, he couldn’t activate Wild Sprint Thunderclap.
He flipped in mid-air, adjusting his posture, head down and feet up. He kicked forcefully against the ceiling with one foot, shooting off at an angle, intending to evade Yuan Dasheng’s follow-up attack.
Yuan Dasheng stood his ground, watching as Meng Chong shot out at an angle.
Yuan Dasheng’s chest noticeably heaved, as if taking a deep breath.
His right hand trembled slightly, and the runes engraved within began to emit a radiant light.
