Chapter 770: Spirit-Devouring Constitution
“F*ck! It’s against all logic for a fat guy like this to cultivate and become a martial artist!” Jing Shan could not resist taunting.
“Is he a purely power-type martial artist? Trouble seems to be brewing for Hellas’s Arina,” Lin Xi said with a frown.
As a woman herself, she knew exactly how other women would feel. The thought of going up against Zokawa was enough to make their head ache.
First, there was nausea and fear. Second, the opponent’s attack and defense were surely very strong and far exceeded that of a woman.
Ye Lingchen said, “Just watch. I have a feeling that those from Hellas are more than meets the eye.”
Arina’s face was calm throughout and her long purple hair made her look rather noble. In fact, one could see pride and nobility from her expression.
“Start!”
Arina backed off as soon as the referee gave the go-ahead. With her shield in front of her and the spear behind her, she stared at Zokawa with those blue pupils.
“Boom!”
The heavy hammer in Zokawa’s hand crashed to the ground and immediately left a deep hole in it.
Instead of rushing to attack, he dragged the hammer and walked step-after-step toward Arina.
The audience was a little confused by the scene on the battlefield, as one advanced forward while the other stepped backward.
“This isn’t good,” Zheng Dali frowned suddenly and said in a solemn voice.
“What’s wrong? Did you notice something?” Chen Xiaoxiao asked.
“Arina will lose if this goes on.” Zheng Dali explained, “Zokawa is a power-type martial artist, which is more or less the same as me. A martial artist like this has one characteristic, which is energy storage! The more they are able to power-up, the higher their explosive power. In most cases, victory is almost a sure thing!
“The reason Zokawa isn’t attacking is because he’s gaining momentum. Once he unleashes it, it would certainly cause a sensation!”
“This Hellas girl’s understanding of combat seems a bit poor, doesn’t it?” Jing Shan frowned. “Anyone who has a bit of combat experience will certainly not let their opponents do this. The Sun Nation is really lucky.”
Everyone watched closely.
Finally, there came a moment when Zokawa shook his wrist all of a sudden. His body sank, and that fat figure of his unexpectedly resembled a hungry tiger ambushing its prey!
Bang!
After slamming his foot on the ground, his body soared suddenly into the air. He rushed forward a couple of meters in the blink of an eye and swung the heavy hammer from the sky, smashing it right at Arina!
“So fast!”
Everyone felt astonished. They did not expect a body as fat as that to have such strong explosive power. His speed was not at all slow!
The crowd shifted their anxious gazes over to Arina. At that juncture, she was like a little lamb that would be smashed into mincemeat at any time!
Amazingly, Arina’s approach to face that hammer was nothing more than raising the shield in her hand!
Boom!
The heavy hammer struck the shield and the resulting air wave was overwhelming, forming a huge spiritual storm that extended toward the surroundings and left a deep hole on the ground. However, Arina only retreated by eight steps before stopping and she seemed completely unharmed!
“How is that possible?!”
Aside from everyone else, Ye Lingchen was also stunned too.
Even Ye Lingchen did not dare to take that blow lightly, for it had gone beyond all logic and sense.
“Magical weapon! That shield is a magical weapon! ” Jing Shan was already clamoring. “Hellas cheated!”
Sun Hongtao hurriedly grabbed him and shoved a piece of wood into his mouth. The former’s face was red and he lashed out in a low voice, “Shut your trap if you’re uncultured. Don’t put shame on us!”
He then continued, “This is Hellas’s power. They call it the Power of Gods.”
“The Power of Gods? That’s such an awesome name.” Ye Lingchen looked at Sun Hongtao in surprise.
“The reason why I told you to pay attention to Hellas is precisely because of this,” Sun Hongtao remarked plainly. “There are many myths and legends in Hellas, such as Athena the goddess of wisdom and victory, Zeus the ruler of gods, Apollo the god of war, and so on so forth. They practice in temples too, and they rely on the guidance of these legendary gods in their cultivation.”
“Gods guiding them to practice? Isn’t that nonsense?” Jing Shan had already removed the wood from his mouth and continued to yell.
The next moment however, Sun Hongtao stuffed it back it
“That’s the way everyone else cultivates. Who knows whether it’s true or false? In any case, their practice is indeed called the Power of Gods,” Sun Hongtao’s tone had traces of amazement. “Legend has it that the will of gods can create everything and bestow everything to all living things. Such godly power is also known as the will of God.”
“You mean that their power is actually similar to a kind of willpower that can change the attributes of a particular thing?” Ye Lingchen asked.
“Yes,” Sun Hongtao nodded. “For example, if the will to sharpen is applied to a knife, the knife will become infinitely sharp and invincible. If they will their strength and apply it to a punch, the power of that punch would then become extremely powerful.”
“What an odd ability. Can they change the world with this will, then?”
“Theoretically speaking, yes. A shattered mirror can come back together again, and spilt water can be recollected. It’s all theoretically possible.”
That would be really awesome.
In spite of that, Ye Lingchen also knew that theoretical things were almost impossible to achieve. A warrior could, in theory, smash the earth with one punch, but would anyone really be able to cultivate to that level?
As they spoke, Zokawa had already dealt three more attacks to Arina, all of which were blocked by that little shield!
“What an amazing defense. Each strike of Zokawa’s hammer is equivalent to a mid-level Innate’s full blow, but Arina could actually withstand it without any harm to herself. It’s really amazing. Is she planning to exhaust Zokawa completely?” Wu Tianbao remarked.
Everyone thought that Zokawa would change his tactics, because continuing like that would only be detrimental for him.
However, the next scene surprised everyone.
Zokawa was dealt blow after blow with his hammer, as if he was doing so in a tireless manner. Each strike was faster than the previous one, and each strike increased in terms of weight!
One minute!
30 strikes of the hammer!
Everyone was on the edge of their seat by then. The spiritual power of those 30 strikes was equivalent to a total of five mid-level Innate Stage martial artists!
Even the five peak-level King Stage martial artists were looking quite solemn.
“Is this a natural divine power, or a Spirit-Devouring Constitution?” Zhou Jian asked and narrowed his eyes.
“It’s probably the Spirit-Devouring Constitution!” the woman from England said. “Every strike of his hammer isn’t based on physical strength, but contains a lot of spiritual power.”
“If it really is the Spirit-Devouring Constitution, the potential is absolutely terrifying,” someone said.
One of the signs that a martial artist could advance to the King Stage was a harmony of their body and spiritual power. The spiritual power of their entire body was endless and inexhaustible. On the other hand, that particular characteristic was inherent in the Spirit-Devouring Constitution!
It was only a matter of time for someone with the Spirit-Devouring Constitution to advance to the King Stage.
For the record, it was only because of Ye Lingchen’s adept endurance training that made it easier for his body to merge together with his spiritual power. The effects that would result from the Spirit-Devouring Constitution was completely absent.
“This fat guy is defying all logic.”
It was originally assumed that Zokawa would be forced to change his attack method, but at that point, Arina was the one who seemed to have to switch things up…
