Chapter 82 - Various Skills, This is the Azure Wind Flow
Just as the two were about to step onto the ring, a group of people, led by someone in a blue uniform, appeared at the warehouse entrance. It was the subsequent members of the Wind Elephant Sect.
At the conclusion of the Beiliu County Exchange Tournament, the qualified teams for the Six Counties League would, instead of returning to their sect headquarters, take the train directly to the East Sea County. Therefore, the disciples and masters who wished to go to East Sea County to broaden their worldview would have to take the train to Beiliu City and wait there.
"Ahem, is that Little Wei?"
In the group, a slight figure glanced at the ring and immediately noticed Cassius who had just stepped onto the platform. She stood on her tiptoes; that really seemed to be her disciple!
The group headed toward the Wind Elephant Sect\'s designated area.
"It\'s Senior Uncle Lisa! Senior Uncle Lisa, over here!"
Moses, who had met Lisa several times before, waved at her from the core disciples\' resting area. In Covert Martial Arts sects, all fellow masters were generally addressed as Senior Uncle, regardless of gender.
Lisa also recognized Moses as the core disciple who often dragged Cassius away to spar. She walked over and sat on the wooden chair.
"Senior Uncle," Lance and Jadice also greeted her.
Hykal did not. As the eldest senior brother of the sect, he was naturally at a higher seniority level than her. Even if he did greet her, the most he\'d address her as would be Senior Sister, making it rather awkward between them. It was best if they just did not greet each other based on their seniority and treated each other as equals.
Smiling, Lisa nodded and said, "Did Little Wei just step onto the ring? Who is our sect\'s opponent this time?"
"Yes, the referee just announced it. Junior Brother will be fighting against Samuel, the second core disciple of the Black Crane Sect, this time."
"Both of them are pugilists so this will be a good fight." Moses looked highly entertained as he sipped his tea. Not only did he enjoy fighting, but he also liked watching two masters brawl.
"Mm." Lisa nodded, looking toward the nearby ring.
"Black Crane Sect, Samuel," the blond young man introduced himself. He had muscular, but slightly gangly arms, and his skin was painted with black mystifying patterns. His fingers were long and thick with very large joints. The tips of his fingers were faintly white.
The Black Crane Sect\'s crane technique.
Cassius had a pretty good idea of what was to come. "Wind Elephant Sect, Li Wei."
He immediately took a stance, his strong arms spread out vertically at his sides. One foot stepped forward, while the other remained firmly planted behind him.
"Begin!" As soon as the referee finished speaking, he jumped away. He had no desire to stand in the middle of a fight between two pugilists and get accidentally injured.
Boom, boom, boom...
Samuel attacked first. He came at Cassius fast, his right hand cutting through the air and slashing toward Cassius\'s side.
Swish!
The rapidly thrusting fist collided fiercely with the hand chop. Both felt their palms go numb and retreated.
Cassius stomped his back foot on the ground, pushing him quickly in the opposite direction. His arms were at his sides, positioned for punching. The large muscles on his shoulders bouncing and writhing, he fired off some rapid punches in quick succession.
Bang, bang, bang... bang, bang, bang...
Samuel\'s hands swung, his powerful arms colliding continuously with Cassius\'s. The fists blurred into shadows between them.
"Moon Crane Saber!"
Samuel suddenly slid to the side, his arm slashing through the air like a steel blade. A flash, and an afterimage resembling the hazy moonlight under a black cloud appeared.
"Severing Flow!" Cassius turned rapidly, his hand chopping furiously.
Boom!
The two men\'s fast and powerful slashes collided, the muscles on their arms rippling in visible waves. The fabric from their wrists to their upper arms were shredded into pieces.
With a muffled groan, Cassius struck with his left hand, his muscular arm imitating a black python lunging at its prey.
To his surprise, Samuel\'s other arm swung over like an iron rod and pushed hard, deflecting Cassius\'s "python\'s fangs." At the same time, he moved closer. His knee popped up like a spring, and he shot forward like a cannonball.
Cassius countered by pressing down with his palm and thrusting his right elbow forward, smashing right into Samuel\'s left shoulder. Samuel\'s shoulder went numb, causing the left arm that he had swung to wobble and missed its target.
Bang!
Their arms collided, and both withdrew a couple steps back. Samuel stretched out his sore left shoulder, while Cassius shook his numbed, aching fists loose.
As expected, pugilists are tough opponents, Cassius thought. He suddenly noticed a familiar figure in the Wind Elephant Sect area—Instructor Lisa was sitting next to a few senior brothers, smiling faintly as she watched.
"It\'s a bad habit letting yourself get distracted in the middle of a fight!" Samuel rushed over and attacked with a flurry of fists, hand chops, elbows, and knees. The blood vessels in his eyes condensed; he had activated his accelerated blood flow ability.
"Let\'s see how my Azure Wind Flow fares against you!" Cassius\'s face hardened, his heart thudding. Hot, viscous blood surged through his body, bringing with it a wave of powerful energy.
"Accelerated blood flow: Azure Wind Flow!"
He stomped his foot, and his sturdy cloth shoe exploded from the force. Cassius charged, turning into a gray blur. His fist, accompanied by an eerie bird-like sound, struck like lightning.
Samuel\'s pupils dilated as he quickly raised a hand to block. The moment his hand touched Cassius\'s fist, high-speed air currents sliced his palm and it began bleeding profusely. The punches continued its relentless assault, striking Samuel\'s shoulder like a wind-wrapped iron rod.
"Ah!" Samuel screamed. He stumbled and tumbled off the stage. When he got up, his face was pale, and his forehead was peppered with cold sweat. There was an exposed bloody fist imprint on his left shoulder. The skin had scraped off, revealing red muscles beneath. Blood dripped down the edges, soaking his clothes.
"Good fight," Cassius said from the edge of the ring.
"What technique was that?" Samuel panted.
"I suppose there\'s no harm in telling you. It\'s called Azure Wind Flow." Cassius spread his fingers out slightly, and a high-speed rotating air current flicked off all the blood on his skin. Right hand clean once again, he let it hang lightly by his leg.
At this moment, the referee climbed onto the platform and announced, "The winner is Wind Elephant Sect\'s Li Wei!"
