Chapter 32 – The Four Directions Forest Stirs, Revealing True Forms (Two)

The competition continued, and the arena had already reached a fever pitch.

Xiao Jiang’s legs moved with lightning speed, alternating between attacks and sweeps while radiating an air of triumphant confidence.

The fierce momentum of his leg techniques flowed as smoothly as clouds and water, executed in one continuous motion.

Yet despite this, he could only fight Ye Kuang to a standstill, with neither gaining the upper hand for the moment.

“Hahaha… So this is all the Dark Horse amounts to. Let me teach you a proper lesson – you should know who you’re boasting to,” Xiao Jiang declared.

As he spoke, the wind and thunder beneath Xiao Jiang’s feet never ceased, each move displaying overwhelming dominance.

Hearing this, Ye Kuang deliberately avoided direct confrontation with Xiao Jiang, instead shifting left and right, clearly adopting guerrilla tactics.

But to most spectators, this inevitably suggested the Dark Horse had exhausted his tricks.

Though he had achieved consecutive victories before, now that he faced a truly skilled opponent, he seemed unable to sustain his momentum.

Many shared this view, generally believing Ye Kuang merely possessed the strength of an eleventh-seat fighter!

Wan Jinyou’s cold smile grew increasingly pronounced as he watched.

Among all observers, Wan Jinyou perceived the stalemate most keenly, and just as Xiao Jiang had said – it was nothing remarkable.

When Xiao Jiang forced Ye Kuang back again, he couldn’t resist taunting: “What’s wrong… your speed is slowing down. Be careful or I’ll knock you right off the arena… Hahaha!”

Ye Kuang’s expression remained completely unchanged upon hearing this. Frankly, he wanted nothing more than to smash all of the braggart’s front teeth with one punch.

Yet he swallowed his anger.

His reasoning was actually quite simple – everyone here could be considered his instructor, so how could he not seize this rare opportunity?

As Ye Kuang gradually incorporated the Di Sha Lu Leg Technique into his martial world, his entire movement became profoundly mysterious.

His originally agile footwork suddenly turned fierce as a dragon’s, becoming unpredictable to observers.

Ye Kuang was actually using his eyes to mimic his opponent’s movements, his ears to gauge the force behind each strike, and his heart to imbue the techniques with soul, gradually evolving them into his unique leg style.

He remarkably achieved the transformation of mundane into miraculous, using his awakened powers of beginner’s mind, ears, and eyes to make the Lu Tan Leg his own.

When he successively mimicked the Wind Thunder Dance and Lightning Shuttle techniques, it created a certain illusion among all spectators.

At that moment, even the Di Sha Master suddenly rose to his feet, his face filled with disbelief. Rubbing his eyes repeatedly, he seemed to witness an impossible phenomenon.

Ye Kuang was actually learning techniques through observation during combat!

As his opponent, Xiao Jiang looked utterly stunned, hardly able to believe an outsider could completely replicate their hall’s ultimate techniques.

How was this possible?

Xiao Jiang’s mind became utterly unsettled, shocking him into roaring: “How can you possibly use the Di Sha Lu Leg Technique?”

At this moment, Xiao Jiang was clearly terrified.

If Ye Kuang could mimic all his opponent’s moves just by observing them in battle, didn’t that mean he could remain undefeated?

In other words, when your opponent understands your techniques completely while you know little of his, how can you possibly fight!

Ye Kuang: “Wind Thunder Dance!”

Xiao Jiang: “Wind Thunder Dance!”

They shouted in succession, but their movements this time were strikingly different!

Boom!

Their legs crossed, swift as wind and thunder.Ye Kuang’s entire demeanor became inexplicably excited. Though still somewhat unfamiliar with this Tan Leg technique, the undeniable fact was that he could already use it at a basic level!

Meanwhile, Xiao Jiang stepped back repeatedly, his eyes suddenly widening as he stared incredulously at the young man opposite him, his heart leaping into his throat.

“Damn it, how is this possible? I don’t believe it!” As soon as Xiao Jiang spoke, he lunged forward, his legs springing up repeatedly—clearly the second form of the Di Sha Lu Springing Leg technique!

Ye Kuang laughed heartily, feeling exactly the same way!

Lightning Shuttle!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the blink of an eye, their legs collided dozens of times, each kick precisely following the trajectory of the other’s Springing Leg technique.

The scene was so shocking that even the spectators were taken aback, gradually growing restless and rising to their feet to get a clearer look.

Yet the leg techniques of the two on the stage were strikingly similar. As they exchanged glances, their eyes inevitably filled with disbelief.

Even Wan Jinyou was no exception. His pupils instantly contracted, clearly stunned by the spectacle before him.

“How can this be? It’s simply impossible!”

It was only at this moment that Xiao Jiang became firmly convinced that the detestable young man before him was stealing his techniques!

Ye Kuang: “Heh… figured it out, have you? I really have to thank you. Now take this—Chain Legs!”

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh…

As his words faded, the entire Arena was filled with a forest of leg shadows—some direct Springing Leg thrusts, others sweeping cross-steps.

Xiao Jiang was utterly dumbfounded.

Just as he had suspected, Ye Kuang was indeed stealing his techniques!

Xiao Jiang hastily dodged the onslaught of leg strikes from all directions, his lungs practically bursting with rage. What could be more ironic than the current situation?

The leg techniques he had always prided himself on were being completely imitated by someone else in mere moments—and used with such ease.

At this thought, Xiao Jiang’s face twisted into an expression of extreme displeasure.

Ye Kuang: “What’s wrong… your speed is slowing down. Be careful, or you’ll get utterly dominated!”

He couldn’t help but laugh heartily three times, growing increasingly proficient with the Di Sha Lu Springing Leg technique, which made his attacks even more ferocious.

His leg techniques were as fierce as thunder and wind, causing the situation to reverse in an instant.

In contrast, Xiao Jiang’s mood soured completely. He began roaring in fury, taking a cross-step forward as he sneered, “So what if you can imitate the Lu Tan Leg? I am the true successor of the Di Sha Lu Tan Leg!”

Wind, Thunder, and Lightning!

Lightning in Pursuit!

Boom! Boom…

The speed of his legs suddenly increased, fleeting like a flash of wind and thunder, followed by three leg shadows advancing side by side.

Seeing this, Ye Kuang’s expression turned stern. He thrust both palms out to either side, then blocked vertically with a single leg.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As three sharp clashes echoed simultaneously, the chilling scene provoked wave after wave of astonished gasps from the audience.

Yet none of this could disturb Ye Kuang’s intense focus.

A glint of sharp light flashed in his eyes as he decisively stopped delaying. His entire movement became unpredictable!

Abandoning his previous defensive stance, he gradually launched a fierce offensive.

Ye Kuang: “The Di Sha Lu Tan Leg is nothing special. Watch your granddad’s Dragon Shadow Step!”

Roar! Roar! Roar!

In an instant, the movements of his feet suddenly changed. His unpredictable steps and countless interweaving footwork created an illusion of effortless grace.

Amidst the rising echoes of dragon roars, his entire figure suddenly vanished.Long afterimages shifted like celestial bodies in motion as Ye Kuang’s figure abruptly materialized before Xiao Jiang.

The scene was undeniably visually staggering.

When Xiao Jiang realized his opponent was right in front of him, his face instantly contorted in utter horror.

Before he could even let out a shocked cry, a palm strike slammed squarely into his chest.

Thump!

The seemingly soft palm erupted with thunderous force upon impact.

In the next moment, Xiao Jiang’s face flushed crimson, his entire body sent flying backward by an overwhelming force.

But that wasn’t all—Ye Kuang pressed his advantage relentlessly.

He moved with lightning speed, either stationary or explosive like a thunderclap.

In a flicker, he reappeared behind Xiao Jiang, yanked the man back by the leg, and hauled him onto the Arena again.

Roar, roar, roar!

Ye Kuang erupted into a frenzy of motion.

His drawn-back long fists rained down like a storm, each strike a Cannon Blast unleashed one after another.

For a time, Xiao Jiang swayed like a punching bag, enduring countless blows without any chance to retaliate.

Even those accustomed to grand spectacles were terrified by this brutal scene, their souls seemingly shaken loose.

Hiss, boom, boom…

As fist met flesh, endless thunderclaps echoed in everyone’s ears.

Each punch resonated deep within their hearts, freezing all present in place.

Pinned against the edge ropes, Xiao Jiang faced this torrential onslaught.

Thud, thud, thud…

Pound, pound, pound…

Wave upon wave of impacts, one after another without respite, painted Ye Kuang as utterly ferocious.

Silence reigned below the stage, while roars dominated above.

Once Ye Kuang unleashed his edge, none could rival him.

Moreover, since he wasn’t in close clinch with Xiao Jiang, even the referee couldn’t call a stop.

Thus, this mad momentum, like the relentless fists and kicks, showcased his peerless dominance.

Ye Kuang: “Aaaah…!”

His continuous roars stirred an uproar among the crowd, gradually boiling over.

Under the chaotic barrage, Xiao Jiang curled up like a shrimp before a sweeping leg sent him tumbling off the Arena.

Roar, roar, roar!

Seeing his opponent fail to rise after a long moment, Ye Kuang stood tall and unyielding, his gaze fixed intently on a certain figure below!

His ferocious posture was blatantly provocative.

This time, no one dared to underestimate him anymore, and all eyes inevitably turned toward a calmly seated figure!

This man, equally unremarkable in appearance, had a body of iron-like muscles gleaming like bronze. Even in a tight-fitting suit, his burly frame was unmistakable…

He was none other than the eighth seat on the Wind and Cloud Ranking, master of the Di Sha Lu Leg Technique—Wan Jinyou!
