Chapter 449: 100-Fold Compounding Strike (2 in 1)
Translator:Ā Radiant TranslationsĀ Ā Editor:Ā Radiant Translations
The shattered pieces of the split granite floor were flicked and shot out by staff shades, hurtling towards the sky like bullets.
A lightning-like glint flashed across Graiās eyes. With such a close distance from the shooting stone pieces, the terrifying force contained in them would not be inferior to real bullets. Nonetheless, a dagger flashed out, shielding his vital spot in an instant. Banging sounds proceeded to ring out, as all the shattered pieces were sent flying away from him.
However, at the same moment, a terrifying torrential aura surged up from the dust cloud, before rising into the air.
āHundred Strikes to Raise the Heavens!ā
A muffled sound rose from within the dust cloud, brimming with might and power!
The Heaven Raising Staff instantly pierced through the dust cloud, appearing just like a dragon soaring into the sky!
The terrifying might of the staff seemed to want to sweep away everything in its path, pulverizing everything that obstructed its path!
A glint flashed across Graiās eyes as he utilised the winds created by the staff to forcibly bend his waist. Unleashing remnant afterimages, he evaded the rising staff at the very last moment.
Dropping down, his feet finally made contact with the ground. However, the staff shadows had already closed in on him.
At this moment, Zhao Tianlongās eyes had already started to turn slightly scarlet red, with the power being transmitted into the Heaven Raising Staff having changed from the combination of gentle and hard fundamental staff techniques he was using earlier. The Heaven Raising 18 Strikes were a series of extraordinarily vigorous and forceful attacks; an all-out offensive!
At this moment, all of the earlier distance control was already meaningless. Having entered a blood frenzy, Zhao Tianlong appeared to have merged with his Heaven Raising Staff into one single entity, becoming an extension of his body! All of his attacks became faster and fiercer! Whatās more, with the superposition of his staff techniques, not only did his attacks start to overlap, even the might of his staff had grown increasingly stronger, and increasingly vigorous!
The berserk staff shadows had already left 7 to 8 indentations on Graiās body. The staff did not make contact with his body, yet the airwaves generated by its movements were already sufficient to injure people!
When every accumulation reached its critical point, signs of dullness could already be seen in Graiās movements. In the next instant, the berserk staff shadows had already enveloped him from all directions, leaving him no path to retreat!
Graiās pupils furiously contracted as he twisted his dagger around. Soul Power surged forth, before his entire being transformed into three figures in the next instant!
Unlike the remnant afterimages unleashed by him earlier, these three figures appeared corporeal. Three Grais split up in a flash, rushing out from the dense hurricane-like staff shadows array, seemingly phasing through everything!
He had actually evaded that?
āShadow Doppelganger?!ā quite a few people cried out in astonishment.
That was a genuine assassinās Shadow Doppelganger! Although they were illusionary images in essence, their usage was definitely not restricted to just being illusions! During the instant of their creation, one would be close to an incorporeal state. As long as one was able to accurately time when that instant occurs, one would practically be able to evade all types of attacks!
During Tianjingās match against Bierlia Academy, everyone had seen this ability being displayed by Eddie Brooks. However, wasnāt that supposed to be an uncirculated secret of the assassin families? Yet, Grai was actually able to execute such an ability?!
A sliver of astonishment flashed through Zhao Tianlongās near-berserk pupils, before two chilling dots of light pierced right at his eyes!
This sneak attack was truly too quick, that even the strengthened Zhao Tianlong was unable to evade in time.
With a ferocious blink, he closed his eyes tightly, before a layer of golden light proceeded to radiate out from his body. At this instant, his soft and supple eyelids were actually shining with golden light!
As the dagger pierced right at Zhao Tianlongās eyelids, the unexpected sound of metal scraping against metal rang out!
His attack had actually been blocked!
The attacks and defence of the two happened too quickly; despite this eyelid defence being exceedingly outrageous, Grai had merely gawked slightly, before Zhao Tianlongās staff shadows had come sweeping over.
For the first time, the staff shadows managed to graze the left of Graiās waist. Terrifying power exploded forth, instantly sending Grai flying like a soccer ball getting kicked.
The two figures separated from each other. While Zhao Tianlong had merely closed his eyes and retreated backwards, Grai had been sent flying back a dozen metres like a cannonball.
āDanger!ā Ruo Zhiās casting voice did not stop once. Compared to Wind God, brother Ruo was clearly was more accomplished as a casting analyst. āZhao Tianlong had launched his earlier attack with the intent to force Grai away. As for now, Graiās too near to the edge of the stage! Heās about to fall out of the stage!
Grai tapped his feet as his body continued to channel power into his bodily revolutions. Forcefully diverting the terrifying force transmitted by the staff shade, his pressed his left foot back into the ground. Forming a long skid mark in the ground,Ā he finally stabilized his footing, coming to a halt 7 to 8 metres from the stageās edge.
They were fighting on a large scale stage that spanned a couple hundred meters in diameter. Being forced to a position a mere 7 to 8 metres away from the edge of the stage was indeed a considerably dangerous situation to be in.
A surge of redness appeared on Graiās face, before quickly retreating away. The clothing on the left side of his waist had been blown to bits by the strike from the Heaven Raising Staff, revealing a small blue-black wound in its place.
Ever since knowing Grai, this was the first time that everyone had seen him suffering an injury.
Furthermore, exactly what kind of perverted defence did that Zhao Tianlong possess? An indestructible body that was impenetrable to blades and spears could be reasoned with. However, those were his eyelids! Fuck, thatās one of the softest and most supple parts of the human body, eyelids! He was actually able to defend against that sharp dagger!
Over at the side of the Tianjing audience. Other than Wang Zhong, everyoneās heart was already lodged at their mouths. As for those female fans of Grai, they had instantly let out shrieks of shock.
However, there was an explanation alongside those shrieks, and even the roars from the Divine Dragon Academy supporters.
Despite having accumulated power to such a degree, Zhao Tianlongās Heaven Raising Staff was unexpectedly only able to leave a bruise on Grai? Thisā¦
Grai did not move, while Zhao Tianlong did not give chase. Standing a couple dozen metres away from each other, the two stared at each other eye to eye. Both of them seemed to be making adjustments to their mental states, as their minds rapidly broke down the advantages their opponent had from their earlier performance.
Appearing to have felt the two fighters furiously trying to gather their strength, the roaring atmosphere within the arena proceeded to turn solemn. The large broadcasting cameras locked onto the two, ever ready to catch the instant they restarted their fight.
Especially notable was the golden brilliance radiating out from Zhao Tianlongās closed eyes, which had actually allowed him to receive an attack from Graiās dagger just using his eyelids!
Zhao Tianlongās indestructible body had already gained renown throughout the Federation. Before the match, the Tianjing squadron had also searched for the videos and footage of Zhao Tianlongās previous fights, in an effort to analyse his so-called invincible defence.
Frankly speaking, after looking through the videos and footage, they discovered that their opponent wasnāt an expert who stood at the highest peak. Thatās why their analysis of Zhao Tianlongās indestructible body had stopped at the āwe still need to see the strength of his attacksā stage.
However, Grai was the one who had launched an attack! After being suppressed for a period of time, how could the instantaneous counter attack he had launched be weak? Furthermore, he had targeted his opponentās eyelid! It could be said to be the softest part of the human body! Yet, it was unexpectedly able to defend against the sharp attack from a dagger! Whatās more, it was an attack from Graiās dagger!
Nonetheless, everyone could clearly see slivers of burst capillaries in Zhao Tianlongās eye. In addition, he had blinked forcefully for a few times, a clear indicator that he had suffered some damage. Nonetheless, it wasnāt able to influence his combat, being just a slight feeling of pain at worst.
What kind of defence was this? Was there a need to continue fighting?
āThis is a heavy soldier who is able to rank on the Moās Listā¦ his indestructible body is not only the result of harsh and torturous physical training, it is also supported by his gold attribute special ability. From a certain point of view, it could be said to be a genuine undying body. If one has to choose the people participating in the CHF who stood the best chance to defend against a few waves of Wang Zhongās cross wheels, Zhao Tianlong would definitely be one of them. It is a total mistake on Graiās part to pick up the twin daggers to deal with Zhao Tianlong. On the aspect of a heavy soldier, be it offence or defence, thereās nothing about that fellow that can be picked atā¦ā Watching via Skylink, Divian was currently sighing in admiration towards the might of Zhao Tianlong. At the same time, she could not help but look towards Karl, who stood by her side as he said those words. āWhatās more, he does not have any of the characteristic weaknesses!ā
āCough coughā¦ā Karl opened his mouth as he looked towards the sky. āOh hey, todayās weather is pretty good! Thereās quite a lot of sunshine and radiance! Boss, what are we eating for this afternoon? Oh right, Iāve just seen little Mo Mo and the rest eating hotpot yesterday. How about we eat hotpot today?ā
The so-called little Mo Mo was Mo Xingchen. Therefore, even the group of people from the Mo Family werenāt willing to place this fellow in the Moās List, and the reason was definitely unrelated to his strength.
Divianās face instantly turned slightly black, with a feeling of regret now coursing through her. She had actually thought of wanting to preach to this block of latrine stone! Even using her toes to think would have let her understand that it wouldnāt have amounted to anything.
It was after a few seconds of silence on the Skylink before all hell broke loose!
Using his eyelids to block a dagger!
Whatās the definition of invincible? This is called invincible! An unbeatable Zhao Tianlong, unassailable and indestructible body!
āA high-level confrontation, a high-level offence and defence!ā Wind Godās voice poured out like a flood, ringing fiercely across the arena. āTheir performance in their offence and defence are truly too astonishing! Itās hard to believe that the two fighting on stage right now are just the supporting characters of their squadron! However, itās a pity that Grai has made the wrong prediction! That indestructible body is lethal against an assassinās life-risking attack methods!ā
Not choosing a soldierās weapon indicated that Grai wasnāt planning on playing a game of attrition with his opponent. Instead, he was planning on using his speed and agility to obtain an advantage, one which would allow him to unleash his offensive. However, Zhao Tianlong wasnāt just any orthodox heavy soldier.
On the casting platform, Wind God had always held on to the initiative. At this moment, Ruo Zhi nodded his head lightly while saying, ā Graiās intention for choosing twin daggers is most likely for the sake of control, though itās a pity.ā
On the contrary to the casters, Wang Zhong was not one bit worried about Grai. He knew that Grai had yet to show his true strength at all, as that fellow had hidden his abilities even deeper than himself.
Lacking in strength? If people had seen the scene of Wang Zhong and Grai comparing their strength within a 10s gravity room, they would definitely not use such a term to describe Grai. If he was truly lacking in strength, he would be utterly unable to receive that heavy blow from the Heaven Raising Staff. If an ordinary heavy soldier was in Graiās shoes at that instant, he might have already been split into two!
Furthermore, was a dagger really useless?
Thatās not necessarily the case.
Indeed, Zhao Tianlongās defence was slightly surprising. Nonetheless, it was still within Tianjingās expectations.
At the very least, he still needed to close his eyes when faced with Graiās dagger! Even after blocking that attack, his eye was hurting!
That was already more than enough.
Zhao Tianlong was more defence-oriented as opposed to being offence-oriented. It didnāt mean that his āHundred Strikes to Raise the Heavensā wasnāt formidable. However, when compared to his indestructible body, his offensive capabilities were still slightly lacking. It was his defence that earned him the right to stand firm within the Moās List. However, at this moment, the limit of his trump card had already been more or less been revealed. However, everything was just starting for Grai!
With a slight flip of his wrist, Grai flipped the orientation of his dagger to a downwards grip. As this happened, his other hand opened up to form a palm, which was positioned straight before his chest.
Seeing this, Wang Zhongās eyes lit up.
The counterattack was about to begin!
A sliver of an upward curl appeared at the corner of Graiās mouth.
With a light tap with the tip of his foot, he shot forwards like an arrow leaving a bow!
Giving his staff a shake, Zhao Tianlong rushed up to meet Grai.
The circular range of the staff forced Grai into the range most optimum for unleashing its attacks. However, it was not a repeat of the previous exchange, and furthermore, Grai was injured.
However, right after blocking Graiās advance, Zhao Tianlongās face changed slightly.
In what way was his opponent injured? His actions had unexpectedly increased in speed, while his movements had grown more fluttery than before!
This fellow had actually conserved and hidden his strength in their previous exchange! Whatās more, the angle of his penetration was even more tricky, appearing as though he had already seen right through Zhao Tianlongās staff techniques!
Immense pressure came bearing down on Zhao Tianlong, instantly forming an invisible suppression pressing down on his heart and mind. Unexpectedly, he felt it hard to re-enter into the fusion state with his Heaven Raising Staff!
With an increase in one party and a decrease in the other, an inconceivable outcome was formed.
Before Zhao Tianlong could wrap his head around everything that had happened, with just three moves, his opponent had already accurately found the point of entry within his staff movements, and had easily entered his inner circle!
Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!
Having unleashed his true strength, Grai appeared like a completely different person than before. As golden light sparkled rapidly around Zhao Tianlongās body,Ā clear metallic collision sounds reverberated across the entire arena.
āGrai appears to have suddenly changed into another person, and is unexpectedly suppressing a Moās List!ā Ruo Zhiās voice was one of astonishment, āHowever, Zhao Tianlongās indestructible body is still as resilient as ever, causing Graiās attacks with his dagger to seem completely useless!ā
Graiās penetrated even deeper into Zhao Tianlongās inner circle, becoming a maggot in Zhao Tianlongās tarsal bone. Despite moving around extremely quickly, the latter was unable to extricate himself from Grai, and was also unable to widen the distance between them by even a bit.
A longer weapon would result in a greater power, but a shorter weapon would allow for a greater lethality!
In such a close distance entanglement, the Heaven Raising Staff seemed unable to fully display its might.
A chilling glow rushed into the sky, piercing straight towards Zhao Tianlongās left eye. This caused him to subconsciously close it, while golden light sparkled out. In the next instant, a ādingā sound rang out. However, there was no piercing pain as a result of a massive force being transmitted in like before, appearing as though that dagger had just fluttered and tapped his eyelid lightly.
As Zhao Tianlong realised this, his half-open eyes caught the flash radiating out from Graiās hands.
Two palms drew strange arcs in the air, causing over a hundred hands to appear in an instant. In the next instant, countless overlappings shadows proceeded to superimpose on one another!
What seemed like extremely slow movements were all pulled back ferociously, causing the tens of thousands of hand shadows to converge together in flash, before condensing to form a single palm! In the next instant, it pressed onto the large exposed chest of Zhao Tianlong without any obvious reaction.
The seemingly soft and supple palm exploded with unimaginable might, sending Zhao Tianlong flying through the sky. What followed was a huge bang, accompanied by the sounds of metal shattering.
7 to 8 fissure lines visible to the naked eye extended out from Graiās palm, before the golden light covering Zhao Tianlongās entire body shattered fiercely!
Zhao Tianlong tried with great effort to control his body and stand still. Nonetheless, the backwards momentum from the palm strike was too strong. It caused him to retreat a dozen steps back, though it wasnāt enough, as he sat down fiercely on the ground.
A mouthful of blood spurted uncontrollably out from Zhao Tianlongās mouth.
Be it the arena or Skylink, and even including Wind God, who had just been jumping about, all of them were stupefied by what they saw.
Zhao Tianlong, who had originally gained superiority over his opponent, and established an invincible position, actually had his position reversed in an instant?
That was an indestructible body! Yet, it had cracked after a single blow, and even caused him to spurt blood out?

āSomewhat like the Mo Familyās Three Thousand Wind Currents Cloud Fist!
āNo, thatās a 100-fold Compounding Strike!ā there werenāt many in the arena that recognized Graiās move. However, the intricacies of his move couldnāt escape the eyes of the Potter Family, the ancestor of bare-handed combat. Laura was able to recognize that move from Grai. The illusionary palm shades were indeed slightly similar to the Mo Familyās Three Thousand Wind Currents Cloud Fist. However, that was just in its appearance. The core of that strike was the 100-fold compounded force in that palm strike!
Just like the Oscillating fist, there were a hundred and one appearances and ways to unleash it, yet the essence of the move would never change.
The 100-fold Compounding Strike was an extremely gentle way of sending out force. The compounding of force was only one of its key elements. Whatās more frightening was the 100-fold strength contained within that palm strike! When many layers of force were overlapped, it would possess an extremely terrifying oscillation effect. And when all of it were condensed together, it would possess a special effect that would smash through all the so-called impregnable defences!
This was why the Mo Family could suppress the Zhao Family, and this was why the Zhao Family could oppose any other family but the Mo Family.
