Chapter 79 - 79: The Born Divine Speedster

Translator: 549690339

The final battle was at its climax within the Gale Martial Arts Hall.

After Meng Dong and Fu Chengya each suffered a defeat, this battle between Shen Yuhua and Ivan was more like a fight for honor.

In the three-match system, Gale had already lost two matches. The outcome of the final match wouldn’t make any difference.

In front of Dongfang Jun, the head of Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall, Yang Jianying boasted: “Mr. Dongfang, this competition is as good as over. What do you think of the abilities of my disciples? Can they still compete in a proper match?”

Dongfang Jun found Yang Jianying’s arrogant smirk distasteful. Having known each other for several decades, he was well aware of the man’s character.

Dongfang Jun coldly remarked, “The match is not over yet. Shen Yuhua and

Ivan are still fighting.”

“Hahaha! In this best-of-three setup, it doesn’t really matter whether or not the last battle is fought,” Yang Jianying laughed.

Tong Yuehu, who was standing by, posed a question, ‘What if Shen Yuhua beats Ivan? Can he continue to challenge the other two Russian fighters?”

Yang Jianying glanced at the battle on the stage. In his opinion, the only one he held in high esteem was Ivan.

He believed Ivan’s power was at the peak of the Warrior Level; he could even rival an Intermediate War General. Shen Yuhua didn’t stand a chance against him. Ivan was merely toying with his opponent.

In such a sure-to-win situation, it would have been foolish for Yang Jianying not to make use of it.

Yan Jianying, with a stern face, turned to Dongfang Jun and Tong Yuehu and spoke, “In theory, it’s not possible. But today, to make you accept defeat, I’ll give you a chance. If Shen Yuhua wins and manages to defeat Nelov and Eva, we’ll admit that Blue Sky lost to Gale. I will acknowledge it in front of the broadcast media, that Blue Sky lost to Gale!”

“Are you serious?” Even Dongfang Jun started to feel tempted. If that were the case, a turnaround might still be possible today, considering that Shen Yuhua was not lagging in the ring.

“Of course it won’t be that simple. Since we’ve already won, it wouldn’t be fair to just accept your terms,” Yang Jianying replied with a smirk, clearly hiding his own plans.

But, Dongfang Jun and Tong Yuehu couldn’t afford to lose. Knowing Yang Jianying’s trap, they still had to go with it. Dongfang Jun asked, “What are your conditions? Speak up all at once.”

“Very simple. If any one of your Warrior Level martial artists can defeat our three fighters consecutively, we’ll concede. There’s only one condition—if you can’t do it, then give us five kilograms of your liquid metal!”

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jun’s expression changed. The other party’s demand was too harsh!

Liquid metal was one of the greatest inventions in the Base City, extracted from only one special type of meteorite.

This metal is exclusively used by Spiritual Mind Masters. With their mental power, they can alter the shape of the metal into various weapons or even armors. The internal condensation structure makes it extremely durable, far surpassing ordinary metals, with no worry about wear and tear.

This metal is incredibly costly and is sold by the gram—a single gram costs two hundred thousand!

Gale Martial Arts Hall had only accumulated several kilograms of liquid metal over the years. Blue Sky wanted five kilograms all at once, which would cost a billion based on the market price!

Dongfang Jun went silent. The amount was too large to simply agree to. After thinking it over, Dongfang Jun quietly sent a message to Zhao Liang on his phone.

He soon got a reply from Zhao Liang informing that he and Lin Zhen were on their way back, and that he could rest assured of Gale’s victory.

Trusting Lin Zhen and unwilling to lose face for his martial arts hall, Dongfang Jun was willing to take the risk despite the slim chance. He gritted his teeth and said, “Deal! We’ll give the five kilograms of liquid metal if required!”

The two quickly signed a contract. After they’d finished, Yang Jianying spoke to Ivan on the stage, “Ivan, it’s done. Stop messing with that poor boy and finish it.”

Upon hearing Yang Jianyings words, Ivan, who had been evenly matched with Shen Yuhua, suddenly launched into action.

His weapon was a pair of iron claws that quickly gained speed. His attack was so fast that it could hardly be seen—he delivered a storm of swift strikes on Shen Yuhua, surrounding him with a dense flurry of claw-shaped shadows! “Ah! This guy is so fast, he’s a natural Divine Speedster!”

Shen Yuhua struggled to resist, letting out a resentful roar. He had no chance left.

Apart from Spiritual Mind Masters, the most talented martial artists are natural Divine Power Users and Divine Speedsters.

If we say that one out of every ten thousand martial artists is a natural Divine Power User, then only one in a hundred thousand, or even in two hundred thousand, is a Divine Speedster. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

These people have naturally swift hands and are nearly half faster than martial artists of the same level. Although their power is not outstanding, their speed is enough to make them unstoppable.

Throughout the entire Ice City Base City, none of the younger generations was born as a Divine Speedster. Instead, there were two within the ranks of the War Generals, both of whom were almost certain to ascend to the ranks of the War Gods.

People then came to realize why Ivan had never taken action, as it turned out, he was the real ace in the group of three Russians.

Nelov was a natural Divine Power User, Eva was a very rare female Warrior Peak Martial Artist, whose talents in all aspects were extraordinarily outstanding. However, their talents could not compare to Ivan’s. A Natural-born Divine Speedster appearing in a Russian, was far beyond anyone’s expectation.

In less than thirty seconds, Ivan had launched hundreds of consecutive attacks, resulting in Shen Yuhua miserably falling off the stage, screamed in pain. He had dozens of injuries of varying sizes, none of which could recover in a short period of time.

Tong Yuehu hurriedly rushed to treat Shen Yuhua. At this moment, Dongfang Jun’s face turned grim. He felt as if he had been duped by Yang Jianying, and his previously full confidence evaporated immediately.

Lin Zhen was good, and Dongfang Jun was still confident that he could defeat Nelov and Eva, but Ivan – how was he supposed to fight against him?

And he had to fight against the three of them, how could he win?

Observing Dongfang Jun’s gloomy face, Yang Jianying laughed out loud:

“Master Dongfang, I am really sorry. I accepted these three Russians into Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall because I saw their extraordinary talents. Sorry for the trouble, and for the money, you had to spend!”

At this moment, the Internet was in chaos.

“What did I just see?! Did that Russian’s movements go into fast forward mode?

I couldn’t see anything clearly.”

“Don’t even mention you, even with slow motion, I couldn’t see clearly. This person is a natural born Divine Speedster, his speed is too fast.”

“With your simple personal computer or mobile phone, of course, you cannot see clearly. I’m using the company’s mainframe. With seventy-two times slow motion, I realized this Russian attacked about twenty to twenty-five times within a second. It is completely normal for Shen Yuhua to be no match for him.”

“Twenty plus times in a second, that’s almost one attack every 0.04 seconds, is this even a speed that a Warrior Level can possess?”

“Forget about warriors, even the regular War Generals can’t achieve this.”

“It’s over, Gale is finished this time. It seems like Dongfang Jun signed some kind of bet with Yang Jianying. I’m afraid that he might lose everything, even his underwear.”

“I want to join the Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall. This Hall has great potential.

Being able to groom such a powerful warrior is really amazing.” “Where is Lin Zhen? Why hasn’t Lin Zhen appeared at this point?”

“What difference would it make even if he appears? Can he defeat a natural born Divine Speedster? The possibility of that might be infinitely close to zero, right? There’s probably no one on the side of Long Wind who can defeat Ivan, either. I can now declare to you all, Ice City’s number one Martial Arts Hall, is called ‘Blue Sky’!”

At this point, nobody believed Gale had a chance to turn the tables.

Ironically, just when everyone was losing hope, a piece of sudden news broke out from the Long Wind Martial Arts Academy. Chen Jingchou could not participate anymore in the competition against Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall for personal reasons, hence, Long Wind admitted defeat against the challenge from Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall!

This news further added fuel to the fire. Those who still had hopes for Long

Wind and wished they could glorify Ice City now fell completely into despair.

One after another, small Martial Arts Halls fell, then Dragon Slayer, and now Gale. Followed by Long Wind surrendering their weapons, all of the Martial Arts Halls in Ice City had been completely wiped out.

Although there was still quite a bit of criticism online, it had decreased compared to before as the status of Martial Arts Halls in Ice City was about to change. Nowadays, everyone had to use their real names online, so people had to carefully measure their words before they speak.

Some people, who didn’t dare to curse at Blue Sky, vented their anger at Lin Zhen, calling him a coward, overrated, capable in domestic fights but incapable in external battles, and a turtle that hides its head. All these kind of words were directed at Lin Zhen.

Yang Jianying smugly put away his cell phone and looked at Dongfang Jun, “Master Dongfang, isn’t it time for a conclusion? Do you guys still have any players who can go on stage? If not, please hand over the Liquid Metal to me. Mayor Lu Ming is watching here, you wouldn’t default on your commitment, would you?”

Dongfang Jun and Lu Ming exchanged a look. They were filled with rage yet they felt somewhat helpless.

Both of them were Advanced War Gods, but in this situation, they could not utilize their power, and their feeling of impotence was simply beyond comparison.

Dongfang Jun let out a sigh. Forget it!

Take a knock, get wise. He had been fooled by Yang Jianying this time, and he hoped that there would be an opportunity to get back at him in the future.

Just as he was about to go and fetch the Liquid Metal, suddenly a noise came from outside the door.

“The competition has not ended yet. What’s the hurry, Master? Don’t we still have Lin Zhen? Come on, everyone, make way to welcome our Lin Zhen for his glorious entrance!”

Zhao Liang’s unique loud voice rang out, and everyone’s gaze swept towards the door!
