Chapter 2032

James was muttering quietly to himself.

As physical strength spread throughout his body, he started to feel a little more confident. “Gentlemen,

let’s begin.” From outside the arena, the shadow’s voice rang out. “Fight well. Given that Master’s spirit

is still in the Celestial Abode, perhaps Master is watching from the shadows right now. If your

performance is good enough and favored by the Master, you may not even need to pass the

checkpoint and can become the new owner of the Celestial Abode right away.”

The Son of Heaven’s expression brightened when he heard this. It turned out that the spirit of the

Celestial Abode’s previous owner was still present within the Celestial Abode.

Right then, he made the decision to take down his opponent as quickly as possible. He intended to

defeat James with a single attack.

After having this thought, he exerted his full strength. True Energy was coursing through his body. The

aura on his body instantly grew to an extreme.

As the aura of a Herculean descended upon James, he felt significant pressure.

Whoosh!

In a flash, the Son of Heaven appeared in front of James. They were a hundred meters apart, but he

only took a split second. His speed was abnormally fast, almost as if he were teleporting. He was so

fast that James did not even have time to react.

Before James could react, an imposing pair of fists slammed at him. He could not get away from it and

could only defend himself by putting up his hands.

Boom!

The Son of Heaven’s fists landed right on James’ arms. The impact made a loud rumbling sound.

James could only feel a terrifying force encroaching on him. Under this crushing force, his body was

immediately thrown into the air, striking the rings of light that surrounded the arena before collapsing to

the ground.

Pff!

James, who had just hit the ground, immediately spat out blood.

The Son of Heaven was too powerful. When his fist landed, he could not resist them at all.

After being jolted by the impact, his arms went numb. Cracks had appeared on his arms, and blood had

started to seep out of them. Simultaneously, a powerful force was entering his entire body, destroying

his body. With just a single attack, he was wounded.

‘This… This is the strength of a Herculean?’ In his heart, James was astounded.

Outside the arena, Marcello wore a solemn expression.

He was well aware of how powerful the Herculean rank was. At first, he thought James could at least

hold his own against a Herculean even if he could not win, but he had not anticipated

James to be knocked to the ground with just a single attack.

“It appears that defeating the Son of Heaven and winning will be extremely difficult for him.” Marcello let

out a soft sigh.

Meanwhile, in the arena, the Son of Heaven was staring at James after making his move, his

handsome face tinged with contempt. “That’s it?”

He thought James had the guts to challenge him because he was confident in his own strength. He

never expected James to be so weak that he could not even hold off a single punch from him.

Slowly, James pulled himself up from the ground. The injuries on his arms had healed. His body, which

had been injured by the impact, had also fully recovered.

He looked at the Son of Heaven, cracked a smile, and said, “We’ve only just begun. What’s the rush?

Why don’t you try blocking one of my attacks for a change?”

Before James had even finished speaking, he began to attack. He charged at the Son of Heaven and

suddenly leaped into the air, appearing at a height of tens of meters before quickly thrusting his palm

out with great force.

As he thrust out his palm, an illusory fist appeared. Immediately after, James moved around the Son of

Heaven at a great speed and launched a series of attacks.

In a short time, hundreds of illusory fists appeared in the sky. All of these fists came charging at the

Son of Heaven.

James employed the imposing and versatile Blithe Fist of Abomination.

The Palm Energy was swift and fierce, causing the sky to shake as it charged toward the Son of

Heaven with a terrifying force.

The Son of Heaven looked serene.

He moved his hands nonchalantly as powerful energy manifested in his palm. The powerful energy

swept through the area, scattering the attacking fists coming from all directions.
