Chapter 158: The Second Battle

After landing on the ground, Wang Doushan sighed deeply .

The surging energy in his body slowly began to calm down . Wang Doushan felt a weakness that he hadn’t felt earlier .

It wasn’t a side effect of using Strength Medicine . Rather, he wasn’t used to the sudden loss of strength yet .

It felt really good to possess power!

He walked a few steps to Ferraro’s side .

Ferraro was still breathing . However, his forbidden technique was about to expire, and his lifeforce was slowly fading .

“You win,” Ferraro said between labored breaths . His tone carried a trace of dissatisfaction and annoyance .

“That doesn’t really count . I originally wanted to fight you based on just my own strength, but unfortunately, I was still forced to use a Strengthened Strength Medicine,” Wang Doushan replied .

For this battle, Su Chen had prepared some medicine for him . Those were his final trump cards .

However, Wang Doushan didn’t want to use it .

He wanted to use his own strength to defeat his opponent .

Unfortunately, even after expending the fat he had spent four years maintaining, he still had no way of obtaining victory . He was forced to use a single Strength Medicine vial .

Even though it was just one vial, in Wang Doushan’s eyes, he had already lost .

Ferraro didn’t seem to mind . “You humans aren’t as strong as us, but you are better at studying all kinds of other things . Aren’t you all skilled in alchemy?”

“That’s true, but I also used my weapon . The rules stated that I could only use resources worth at most ten thousand Origin Stones . My Origin Tool is worth 8000 Origin Stones, and the medicine is worth another 2500 . I went over the limit by 500 Origin Stones, so in principle, it’s still my loss . ”

“So that’s how it is . ” A trace of delight could be seen on Ferraro’s face .

He wanted to say something else, but the words died on his tongue .

He died .

Upon seeing Ferraro die, Wang Doushan sighed .

He took Ferraro’s ring and picked up the Takusha flag . He slowly sauntered towards Su Chen and the others before suddenly realizing that he wasn’t a fatty anymore . There was no need for him to act like he was still burdened by his weight, so he ran over to Su Chen and said, “I’ve returned . The mission was successful . ”

“Well done . ” Su Chen patted him on the back .

“Unfortunately, I still had to use a vial of medicine,” Wang Doushan said with some disappointment .

Su Chen understood his disappointment . “Don’t worry, I will have better Origin Skills to give you in the future . One day, you’ll be able to beat those Temple Warriors even without going all-out . ”

“Then I’ll be waiting . ” Wang Doushan smiled wide .

Su Chen turned around to glance at Danba and said, “Then we’ll continue with the next fight?”

Danba nodded . “No problem . ”

The Ferocious Race didn’t fear death as long as it wasn’t at the hands of petty tricks .

Wang Doushan had killed Ferraro based solely on his own strength . Even though he had said himself that he had used resources worth 500 Origin Stones too many, Danba could overlook it .

To the Ferocious Race, this didn’t even count as cheating when considering the kinds of schemes humans were capable of pulling off .

This wasn’t an inaccurate thought . An instant later, however, he experienced the shamelessness of his opponent .

Su Chen said, “That’s good . ”

He nodded at He Yuandong . He Yuandong stepped forwards, taking the flag from Wang Doushan, and then tossed it at Mendiano’s feet . “Please . ”

Both Danba and Mendiano were stunned .

Danba stared angrily at Su Chen . “What are you trying to do?”

Su Chen shrugged . “Just as you said, Takusha . ”

“Wasn’t it supposed to be between you and me?” Danba said angrily .

“Next round,” Su Chen replied . “But before this, it’s those two!”

Su Chen pointed at He Yuandong, then at Mendiano .

Dammit, you bastard!

I should have known that you humans would be scheming something .

Indeed, Mendiano was also of the Ferocious Race, and he also had to respect the rules of Takusha .

However, he wasn’t a Temple Warrior . He wasn’t absolutely confident that he could defeat these humans .

On the other hand, even though He Yuandong hadn’t fought yet, his aura was steady . Evidently, he was an extremely stable individual, and he might be the strongest amongst this group of humans .

With such a human as Mendiano’s opponent, Danba had no confidence in obtaining victory .

“No…… I don’t……”

“I agree,” Mendiano suddenly said .

What?

Danba stared at Mendiano with some shock and fury .

Mendiano said, “I understand your feelings, Danba . However, this is Takusha, the foundation of our honor . A Ferocious Race individual can die, but he cannot have no honor . ”

Danba’s said heavily, “Ferraro is already dead……”

“Yes, but he died in an appropriate way . He wasn’t killed by a human’s scheme, but by that human’s personal strength . We shouldn’t have any objections about that . I am the same . Danba, make sure this is a fair duel regardless of who wins or loses . ” Mendiano knew very well that he might not be He Yuandong’s opponent, so all he requested was that the duel would be fair .

Danba was speechless .

He could forcefully interfere, but when faced with his own race’s traditions and pursuit of glory, there was nothing he could do .

For just an instant, he thoroughly despised these traditions .

These traditions made the Ferocious Race brave and fierce, but they would only ever be brave and fierce .

Even so, he had no say in the matter . He could only accept what had happened .

Danba nodded and stepped to the side .

Another duel began, this time between He Yuandong and Mendiano .

Unlike the previous one, Danba wasn’t confident in the outcome of the duel .

Indeed, the instant that the battle began, Mendiano began to attack He Yuandong with all his might .

No trace of color could be seen on Danba’s face .

Usually, it was the weaker party who would attack the fiercest at the beginning of a battle . This was because they knew that wasting time wouldn’t help them at all . It was better to simply go all-out at the beginning and get it done with a single stroke .

Under certain circumstances, this tactic could be effective .

But, it was evidently of no use against He Yuandong .

He Yuandong didn’t have an explosive combat style . He was very steady .

During the training period, he had already made this fact clear . No matter what the task at hand was, he always did things calmly and in an orderly fashion, not too fast or too slow . Sometimes, he might miss an opportunity, but it also meant that he rarely made mistakes .

He was the type that could maintain his composure and patiently wear you down .

He had defeated many opponents who were stronger than him simply because they couldn’t maintain their composure and were completely ground to death by him . Su Chen had battled him six times in the past and had lost all six times .

It could be said that someone with He Yuandong’s personality was a perfect counter to a person like Su Chen .

The Hidden Dragon Institute had considered his stability and his impressive personal strength when assigning him the number one rank .

This person, even when faced with Mendiano’s torrent of attacks, was still unhurried .

He struck back with his Raging Heavenly Fists steadily . His attacks weren’t fast, but all of them were guaranteed to not miss . Every blow was aimed with a specific purpose .

Mendiano used every tactic with every variation at his disposal, but in the end, he couldn’t stop He Yuandong .

He didn’t even get an opportunity to put his life on the line .

He Yuandong ensured that his body was always covered with a barrier .

His physical body’s defense was already decent . With the support of the magic barrier, no matter what trump cards Mendiano tried to pull out, it would be impossible for him to defeat He Yuandong in one strike .

Even if he missed many opportunities or expended a lot of Origin Energy, He Yuandong would continue to fight steadily .

This was the tactic that Su Chen had prepared for him, which just so happened to correspond with He Yuandong’s personality .

When an already stable individual paid special attention to minimizing risks, that person’s cautiousness and impenetrable defense were enough to send most people into a fit of rage and helplessness .

When faced with this cautious, impregnable defense, Mendiano found himself slowly running out of energy .

His attacks gradually lost their vigor, and his speed also began to decrease .

Based on this downward trend, it seemed like He Yuandong could casually kill him with a palm strike at any moment .

However, He Yuandong continued to fight in an unhurried matter, completely ignoring Mendiano’s condition .

Mendiano fell completely into despair .

He stared at He Yuandong and yelled, “I’ll risk it all!”

As he howled, a totem image appeared behind him .

This was Mendiano’s Guardian Totem .

Based on his strength, it shouldn’t have been possible to completely form a Guardian Totem .

But at this instant, Mendiano, in his despair, didn’t care anymore .

He didn’t harbor any hope of killing his opponent; he just hoped that he could at least injure his opponent, even if just a little bit .

Following Mendiano’s all-out attack, the Guardian Totem turned into a forceful torrent of energy that surged forwards .

He Yuandong remained as expressionless as always, but his aura had grown stronger .

An illusory Raging Inferno Beast image appeared behind him, slamming into Mendiano’s Guardian Totem . The collision resulted in the most dazzling display of light since the battle had begun .

He Yuandong harrumphed and retreated a few steps .

The powerful waves of energy crashed against his barrier . After flickering and sending sparks everywhere, the barrier disappeared, and a trickle of blood appeared at the corner of He Yuandong’s mouth .

But that was all .

He glanced at Mendiano .

Mendiano swayed slightly before toppling to the ground .

He died!
