Chapter 690: 690

It was still a punch that had unstoppable strength and looked like he could pierce through the sun.

After Lei Zongchao personally created the “true” version of Divine Nine Dragon Seals’ spirit energy magnetic field for Meng Chao, Meng Chao’s attack became even fiercer than a moment before.

It accurately hit the water droplet that Lei Zongchao fired.

Boom!

The holographic giant shattered.

Meng Chao’s entire right arm felt like it was struck by lightning, and it was numb.

Meanwhile, the gene concentrate that was injected with Lei Zongchao’s great spirit energy turned into wisps of spirit energy that surged into Meng Chao’s pores, his fist, and arm. Then, through his spirit meridians, it surged into his body.

Meng Chao’s limbs instantly started flailing around, and he could not control them.

The acupressure points that intersected with each other in his spirit meridians were also lit up one after another.

The originally uncontrollable and chaotic spirit energy was completely absorbed and gathered together. Then, they started circulating in him endlessly.

Meng Chao was shocked and delighted. ‘This is… The Battle God personally helped me adjust my force execution, and he guided me to understand the profound martial art truth in Divine Nine Dragon Seals!’

Meng Chao felt touched.

Battle God Lei Zongchao spent a huge amount of his spirit energy to cleanse his bones as if he performed abhisheka on him. He cleared and expanded his spirit meridians inch by inch and practically carved Divine Nine Dragon Seals into his cells.

This had already far surpassed the range of receiving guidance.

He had really poured a large amount of effort into teaching Meng Chao.

Martial art masters would usually not give such treatment to anyone other than their personal disciples.

While Lei Zongchao taught everyone equally and generously shared all the secrets of his martial arts with all the citizens, he had never heard of anyone who was lucky enough to receive the essence of his teachings through this method.

“Master Lei…”

Meng Chao did not know how he should take in the fact that Lei Zongchao was regarding him differently compared to everyone else.

He also did not know how he should thank this legendary Battle God.

“Enough with the nonsense.” Lei Zongchao could tell that Meng Chao was feeling bashful, and he said gravely, “If you really want to thank me, grit your teeth and deliver your strongest punch! Don’t make it the same as the first two punches. They’re both weak, and they can’t even compare to a mosquito biting you!”

Before his voice faded away, he flicked another water droplet at Meng Chao.

Spirit energy surrounded it, and light shone around the water droplet. It turned into the second unbreakable fist, and it rammed into Meng Chao so strongly that he felt the corners of his eyes and lips twitch.

Meng Chao gritted his teeth and hurled his third punch against the Battle God’s iron fist.

After Lei Zongchao gave a demonstration and guided him, this punch became stronger, and it was really like a train that was hit by a lightning ball while it was traveling swiftly.

Boom!

These two monstrous attacks rammed into each other, and the water droplet formed by the gene concentrate was blasted into pieces again.

However, the energy contained in the water droplet still turned into thousands of spirit energy wisps that entered Meng Chao’s body and activated his spirit acupressure points, widened his spirit meridians, and guided the chaotic spirit energy in him into the correct circulation path.

This time, Lei Zongchao said nothing. Before Meng Chao could recover from the shock of having his marrows and bones cleansed, he flicked the third water droplet.

Meng Chao gritted his teeth.

It was as if lightning pierced through his palm, and he formed a burning fist once more.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just like that, Meng Chao fired dozens of water droplets that contained great spirit energy and all the knowledge he learned in his life.

Meng Chao also attacked with both hands and delivered dozens of punches at Lei Zongchao to his heart’s content and without holding anything back.

Every time they clashed, Lei Zongchao’s power would be branded deep in Meng Chao’s body, causing his organs and limbs to go through a complete change.

Meanwhile, the Skillfulness for Divine Nine Dragon Seals also increased by leaps and bounds within Meng Chao’s head.

Without using even one contribution point, every time he was injected with Lei Zongchao’s spirit energy, his Skillfulness for Divine Nine Dragon Seals would increase between 3% to 5%!

After dozens of clashes, the Divine Nine Dragon Seals in Meng Chao’s head and already reached Specialist Level, and the Skillfulness was at 98%.

When he pulled together his nearly torn muscles and nearly crushed bones once more to summon the power within all his cells to deliver a punch that surpassed his limits so that he could crush the water droplet that Lei Zongchao sent his way, he felt like he crushed an invisible wall that encased his body.

In an instant, Meng Chao heard the sound of a crystal shattering in his mind.

In an instant, his sparkling shards rained down on his head.

Each shard contained all the Divine Nine Dragon Seals details he came into contact with in his previous life and current life.

Each detail turned into shining, flowing light that completely fused with his blood and soul.

A row of brilliant words rose before Meng Chao’s eyes.

[Congratulations, Fire Relayer. You have now gained mastery and understood the crucial parts of Divine Nine Dragon Seals. Your mastery of the skill has increased from Specialist Level to Master Level. Your current Skillfulness for the skill is Master Level: 1%.]

‘Master Level!’

Meng Chao really wanted to throw his head back and howl.

This was his first ultimate martial art that reached Master Level!

His heart raced, his blood surged, and he could not control himself!

After Meng Chao destroyed the water droplet Lei Zongchao flicked at him, two thick spirit meridians popped up on the backs of his legs, and they reached his arms. They were like raging dragons that gained new power, and like a second volcano eruption, they allowed Meng Chao to attack Lei Zongchao again!

Even if Lei Zongchao had decided from the moment Meng Chao stepped into Battle God Palace that he would do everything in his power to teach the full Divine Nine Dragon Seals to Meng Chao, he did not expect that Meng Chao’s comprehension skills were so high, and he became a completely different person from before.

In the beginning, Meng Chao could only activate the power of one dragon meridian, which was the one surrounding his spine.

Now, aside from the one around the spine, Meng Chao also activated two of the dragon meridians around his legs.

Spirit energy gushed out of three dragon meridians like a flood, causing his maximum punching strength to increase by more than ten times.

Originally, the ball of light shining in front of Meng Chao’s fist was a light gold color. Now, it gained an angry shade of amethyst.

This scene caused Lei Zongchao to be delighted.

He was just about to face Meng Chao’s fist when his body suddenly trembled in a strange manner.

Lei Zongchao’s gaze and expression instantly froze.

It was as if a demonic claw had stretched out from hell and yanked him, causing him to lose his balance and rhythm.

Bang!

Meng Chao’s right arm now looked like it was surrounded by three fierce dragons. His fist landed firmly on Lei Zongchao’s face again.

However, this time, what happened was even more bizarre than when his fist landed on Lei Zongchao’s face the first time.

He actually “split” the legendary Battle God!

This chapter is scrapped from readlightnovel.org

No, saying that he made Lei Zongchao “split” was not enough to describe just how bizarre the scene Meng Chao saw was.

It was as if his fist blew Lei Zongchao’s flesh, bones, nerves, spirit meridians, and soul out of his body. They flew out from behind him layer by layer.

Lei Zongchao was split into five faint images.

The first image was still stuck on Meng Chao’s fist.

The image behind him floated in the air but was still connected to him, like a skewer, making him look literally like his soul left his body.

If he looked closely, the form of each image was different.

The first image was Lei Zongchao himself, but he was “fainter” than before. He gave off a semi-transparent feeling, like a low-quality 3D holographic image.

The second image had blood coming out of his orifices. His eyeballs protruded, and his face was hideous. He looked like he was injured badly and was going to die a horrible death.

The third image was of Lei Zongchao covered in wounds. In fact, he lost most of his body.

The fourth image was of Lei Zongchao being so swollen and covered in bruises that he looked like a zombie, and he had even started rotting.

The fifth image was of Lei Zongchao being a skeleton, but two terrifying will-o’-the-wisps shone in his black eye sockets.

This strange image only lasted for a moment, but it gave Meng Chao a shock so great he would never forget it.

After that one instant, the five images fused together once more to become the complete Lei Zongchao.

But he looked like he had all his life sucked out of him instantaneously, and his perfect, built, statue-like body returned to be the dying body with sagging skin. His vitality magnetic field also swayed like a candle in the wind.

Lei Zongchao grunted and fell from the air.

“Master Lei!”

Meng Chao was horrified. He quickly jumped down the large medical cabin to catch Dragon City’s martial arts legend before Lei Zongchao fell on the floor.

Lei Zongchao was so light that it was as if he weighed nothing. He was like a dry leaf that would crumble the moment he touched him.

His complexion was as horrible as a dried leaf as well.

His chest rattled nonstop, like a wind box, and Meng Chao could hear his heart let out pained moans.

A dark red X-shaped eye slowly rose on the old man’s shoulder.

A’Ji mentioned that this was a unique symbol on some ancient ruins explorers.

It could be said that these were the brands of the chosen ones destined to be picked by the ancient civilization.

Usually, the X-shaped eye was hidden in their blood.

It was only when their blood surged, their spirit flames raged, and their fighting spirit burned at their brightest or when their spirit energy was incredibly chaotic that the tattoo would appear.

Lei Zongchao was definitely not going through the first situation.

His injuries were ten times worse than what Meng Chao imagined.

However, what caused Meng Chao to feel fear all over his body was not the X-shaped eye.

Instead, it was Lei Zongchao’s face and hands.

“M-Master Lei, your face, a-and your fingers…” Meng Chao gulped.

His mind was blank. He could not give a scientific reason as to what he was seeing.

A piece of flesh on Lei Zongchao’s left cheek was gone. It was located near his lips.

On white molars could be seen, along with slightly shrunken gums.

His left pinky finger was also gone, and only a small segment of bone could be seen.

No. It was impossible that this was an injury left behind by Meng Chao’s attack.

First of all, Meng Chao did not think that he could injure the legendary Battle God to this extent.

More importantly, if this was an injury left behind just now, he should be bleeding everywhere, and his flesh should be torn out.

Even if Lei Zongchao had really powerful cell regeneration skills and could have his wounds instantly recover like a gecko regrowing its tail after cutting it off, it would scar and have bits of flesh start growing from the wounds already.

But now, it was clear that the corner of Lei Zongchao’s mouth and his pinky finger had a piece of flesh missing each, but not a single bit of blood flowed out, and the areas around them were not affected in the slightest.

It was practically as if Lei Zongchao was born without flesh for those parts.

But that was impossible!

Meng Chao remembered very clearly that before he literally knocked Lei Zongchao’s soul out of his body, the corner of his lips and left hand were perfectly fine!
