Chapter 337: 0226 Bold as a tiger, delicate as sniffing a rose (4 updates! Extra 4k words for double monthly tickets)_2

"Ha ha ha, so this is the Heavenly Heart Mark!"

A towering figure broke through the mist, his hand clutching a human face as large as a car, dragging it forward. A blue whale surged upward from behind him, its whale song resonating across the skies, massive streams of blue force injected into the face, causing it to burst.

But a layer of gray ice had also formed on his body, and after running only a few steps forward, he fainted to the ground. In the blink of an eye, another figure picked up Wang Hongdao and hurled a straightforward straight punch into the mist!

Boom!

A hundred-meter-long blue whale phantom took shape, the magnetic field seemed to spin, creating ripples of airflow that formed waves, carrying the whale forward. The invisible fist wind and force burst forth, shattering the wall-like mist, forcing it several miles back, the hidden giant faces popping like bubbles. Even the Great Void as large as a house couldn’t last long before dissipating like smoke.

Wang Kun carried Wang Hongdao in his arms and leaped back onto the city wall.

Wang Hongdao opened his tired eyes, filled only with excitement.

"Senior... I have connected with the Heavenly Heart Mark of the Whale Form."

Wang Kun said indifferently,

"I know, after all, it was I who pioneered it."

As the founding pioneer of the new Whale Form, his Martial Arts Will alone occupied eight parts of the Whale Form in today’s world, with all other Martial Artists combined only having two parts.

In the old times, he would be the founding ancestor!

The newcomers were far from reaching his progress.

Wang Hongdao, content and satisfied, fell asleep in the arms of the Grandmaster.

"This trial, is already worthwhile."

"I... am no less than a Martial Arts Genius."

Ultimately, after counting the number of people, out of 24 groups, 13 individuals had yet to return, and 2 were missing, suspected to be taken away by external forces to a distant place.

Wang Kun said,

"From now on, all trialists must not go out. You’ll fight within the city walls. This Void Tide is ferocious, and with our current equipment and manpower, we can’t possibly keep it completely outside the city. The military elites and I will try our best to block the Shadow Level, Nether Level Great Void, and even... Fierce Level Void Kings. If common Void Things or Nether Level Great Voids infiltrate, you are responsible for protecting yourselves and defending the stronghold, especially the researchers and technical personnel of the Void Control Department. Rewards will be given based on merit after the battle."

Everyone’s spirits were lifted, and they said in unison,

"We guarantee to complete the mission."

Excitement, tension, unease... various emotions spread.

Lu Chenzhou felt a fiery heat within, with a burning sensation in his lower abdomen, his battle intent soaring.

"This will now be a prolonged battle."

Having the Iron Crotch Skill, he wasn’t very panicked.

Exactly, this was an opportunity to hone his Martial Arts skills!

Suddenly, someone looked towards the distant Black Bone Mountain and exclaimed,

"Look, what is that?"

"Such a big face."

Lu Chenzhou turned his gaze in the direction of the sound.

In the direction of District Nine, on the other side of the Black Bone Mountain Range, a ten-thousand-foot-tall white glow rose, reaching straight into the clouds. Within the light, a round contour slowly appeared, resembling a face full of wrinkles, hanging in the sky like a pale giant sun.

Its eyes, like two full moons on the fifteenth night, cast pale moonlight onto the earth. The mist grew deeper, with floating faces weaving through the fog, their eerie laughter and the pounding of hearts merging into a formidable force.

Buzz!

An invisible wave of spiritual power surged out, but before it could spread, seas of clouds rolled up from the base of the mountain against the flow from Shu reach as if crossing endless space, illuminating the world, and the distant Gagong Sacred Mountain could be seen!

Sunrise in the east!

Li Tianwang, in unison with his sword, summoned the clouds and Buddhist light from all directions, the Universal Virtue Bodhisattva’s Golden Body stood majestically, with thousands of Buddhas following behind him.

Among the crowd, Emei Martial Arts University students enthusiastically chanted,

"The Great Sun Breaks the Cloud Sea!"

"Sunrise in the East! The Sword from Emei!"

"Li Tianwang is powerful!"

In front of the Heavenly King’s invincible aura, everyone was enthusiastic, filled with power and determination. The spiritual oppression emanating from the giant face dissipated!

A tremendous battle erupted in the distance.

The crowd was cautious, watching the fog gradually enveloping the city.

Suddenly, the ground shuddered slightly.

"How is this happening? An earthquake?"

"Could there still be a Void Emperor Level creature?"

"Quick, look at the green fire leader..."

Someone discovered in horror that the headless Demon Emperor’s body in the wilderness seemed to imperceptibly move for a moment, its form trembling, causing the ground beneath them to roar.

"What’s going on? The headless Demon Emperor isn’t dead?"

"What do we do now? Our principal is being restrained by that Void Emperor."

A military powerhouse said,

"Don’t panic. The Void Emperor is dead, his soul scattered. The movement is due to the residual will acting instinctively. We’ve urgently contacted a Great Grandmaster to take over."

"Can the Great Grandmaster suppress the remnant will of the Demon Emperor?"

"Not completely erase it, but enough to hold off until the Void Emperor is slain. The mist is already here; get ready for a bloody battle, everyone. All of you, in groups of 24 hours, form squads to defend the base... Kill any ghosts on sight!"

The Void-breaking Radar began to emit sounds like dragon cries and tiger roars; in the mist, a large number of weaker Void Things had not yet approached the city walls when they burst into illusions with a pop.

Lu Chenzhou and Fang Xue said simultaneously,

"Follow up, Dragon City!"

Swiftly, figures dashed toward the target location where they saw a lantern-sized human face floating in the air, charging at a researcher with a sinister laugh. Lu Chenzhou thought quickly, and with the might of the Mystic Tiger, he slapped it into dust.

Other than Wang Hongdao, who was temporarily placed to recover, everyone else gathered. They scattered and applied their various methods to sweep through the ordinary Void Things with lightning speed.

For the moment, Lu Chenzhou didn’t draw his gun; dealing with ghostly creatures, fists and palms were more useful. He took this opportunity to practice less refined Martial Arts techniques like "Tiger Sniffing Fist" and "Tiger Claw Thirteen Slaps," his movements darting and shifting, with Tiger Claws and Tiger Punches flying about.

"Tiger Sniffing Fist," is a somewhat unique third-rate fist technique. It isn’t good at direct combat but can gather information about enemy movements through the body’s hair and skin feeling the air around them while punching.

Though it appears wide-opening and wide-closing, it actually listens attentively!

The human-faced Void Thing might be a Spiritual Body, but during its attacks, it often carried along a Yin Wind qi flow, all of which Lu Chenzhou keenly captured. Without needing to look directly, he punched and kicked, precisely using Golden Light to shoot down one Void Thing after another. Non-hazardous Void Things simply could not withstand his casual power strike and exploded instantly.

Time passed, and the afternoon went by.

The more he practiced the technique, the more Lu Chenzhou felt an understanding surge through him.

Gradually, he immersed into a wonderful state, his eyes clear, completely unaware that the leaves of the Martial Arts Tree for "Tiger Sniffing Fist" were shining brightly.

[Inspiration arrives, doubling the effort with half the work!]

The technique was already close to the Great Achievement Realm. At a certain moment, Heart to Wisdom arose within him, and like a blind monk, he completely closed his eyes, plunging into darkness.

In the silent, dark world, Lu Chenzhou’s spirit transformed into a Black Tiger in the mountains. The tiger’s whiskers trembled, sensing every movement in the mountain forest. As the mountain lord and king, he could perceive everything in his territory, just like a Mountain God!

"In the rainforest, the bird-catching spider can capture the breath and vibrations of prey through its stiff hairs and myriad of webs on the ground, thereby comfortably fishing from its burrow. Isn’t the Mountain Lord the same? The so-called Tiger Sniffing, accurately speaking, is the tiger’s perception—smell, qi flow, vibrations, sounds, momentum... All are sensed by the heart, like a net. Now I still have much to improve, having only reached the level of bodily perception."

In the midst of this insight, Lu Chenzhou sensed.

Though his eyes were tightly shut, he sensed a Great Void attacking from behind. The giant face seemed mocking, and Lu Chenzhou gently inhaled, a speck of Golden Light brightening on his chest, flowing like molten gold to his palms. With eyes closed, he rotated his body, his legs moving to create a whirlwind that blew away the mist, revealing the monstrous giant face.

Lu Chenzhou’s palms drilled upward from below.

This palm gathered half of his full body power.

This strike, was like Gonggong furiously colliding with Mount Buzhou!

Heavenly Destiny Mystic Tiger Fist!

Boom!

Golden light erupted, dyeing the mist a light golden color; the formless Mystic Tiger roared with the wind of the punch, pouncing towards the giant face. The mist tore open a path, revealing the night sky. The giant face in midair was filled with endless golden light, cracks spreading until it exploded with a loud bang.

Fireworks bloomed, mist closed in.

Electric sparks flickered, hot air surged.

An Initial Realm Great Void, dissipated.

Lu Chenzhou opened his eyes.

His demeanor was all the more profound, seeming omniscient.

Involuntarily, Li Gui’s face appeared in his mind.

"A heart with a fierce tiger, delicately sniffs the rose!"
