Chapter 52 Defeat Zachary With All His Strength

"He is using the Dragon Fist! It is the unique martial art of Master Albert," someone in the audience yelled. All at once, the audience burst into an uproar. When they saw Gary launch such a powerful attack against Zachary, they realized that he wanted to defeat Zachary with one strike, taking advantage of the huge gap in power between them.

With Zachary's current status, they were convinced that he would never be able to withstand such a powerful attack.

When Zachary realized Gary's intentions, his eyes narrowed slightly. He then crossed his arms to block the incoming fist attack.

Bang!

Gary's Dragon Fist struck Zachary's arms with tremendous force. Air waves rippled from the point of impact as martial energy scattered in all directions.

Elva frowned while watching the battle unfold.

The audience thought that Zachary would be thrown into the air, but instead, he was only pushed back by three steps.

"He was pushed back by only three steps?" someone in the audience said in disbelief.

"Gary used all his strength in that attack. But Zachary was able to block it completely."

"Isn't he disabled? What did this guy eat that made him so strong?"

The disciples that witnessed the scene all talked to each other about what happened.

Even Lewis and the stewards stared at each other in surprise.

"What just happened? Obviously, Zachary didn't use any of his martial energy. So how was he able to block Gary's strike?"

"Yes, it's rather confusing."

"Master Lewis, can you see what skill Zachary is using?"

The stewards turned to Lewis, waiting for his answer.

But Lewis just shook his head. He was just as confused as the stewards. Logic dictated that the force and momentum of Gary's attack should have injured Zachary gravely. Yet, he was able to block the attack and he also seemed to be unaffected.

"He seems to be hiding his real strength," replied Sara meaningfully.

"The strength of a warrior at the medium stage of Earth Level is really powerful!" Zachary exclaimed. He looked satisfied. The muscle between his thumb and index finger was numb with pain, and it was a little strenuous for him to speak. Yet he still smiled broadly. He stared at the Holy Bone Bracer on his right wrist and thought to himself, 'This OH weapon is so powerful that it is able to withstand a full attack from a warrior at the medium stage of Earth Level.'

The Holy Bone Bracer could absorb his opponent's martial energy, and in the process of absorption, it also dissolved the power contained in his opponent's martial art. Therefore, it could be considered a super OH weapon with both attack and defense capabilities.

Seeing that his full attack only made Zachary retreat by three steps, Gary felt humiliated and his face changed drastically. He gritted his teeth, glared at Zachary, and stepped out again. The whole battle ring trembled slightly as Gary focused all of his martial energy on his next move.

"Raging Dragon Fist!" Gary exclaimed as he activated a more powerful skill. He looked more ferocious than before. Without warning, a dragon phantom appeared from his fist, and it looked more powerful and aggressive than the previous one.

"Albert, you even taught Gary the Raging Dragon Fist!" Herman said, surprised at what he saw.

"Isn't the Raging Dragon Fist supposed to be learned by only the disciples at the premium stage of Earth Level? I think Gary is not qualified to learn that skill yet!" Barton said in astonishment.

"You are right. The Raging Dragon Fist is supposed to be learned by only the disciples at the premium stage of Earth Level. It never occurred to me that Gary, a disciple at the medium stage, could comprehend it. The power of the Raging Dragon Fist launched by him is not very optimal, though. Yet if he used it to fight against an opponent at the premium stage of Earth Level, it would still be counted as a powerful move," Albert said proudly. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

"Zachary definitely will not be able to withstand the power of this fist," Lewis said and then let out a sigh.

The dragon phantom created by Gary roared as it pounced towards Zachary.

Zachary took a deep breath and crossed his arms in front of his chest again to block the attack.

Bang!

A loud sound erupted once more, louder than the previous sound. Its impact was naturally more powerful than before. Its power exploded in an instant, like a gale blowing, causing a wave of dust. Consequently, the disciples of the Welkin Sect around the battle ring felt that something was rushing towards them.

Half of the battle ring was overwhelmed by the dust, and Zachary was concealed by the cloud of dust.

"Zachary was hit by the fist?" "He wouldn't be able to resist the power of that attack." The disciples of the Welkin Sect were talking in whispers with each other.

After the dust dissipated, they saw that Zachary was pushed back seven steps, almost close to the edge of the battle ring. However, aside from that, he looked fine, except for a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth.

"No way. He's still standing safely. If it were any other disciple of the Mortal Level, or even a disciple at the primary stage of Earth Level, he would have been beaten and have collapsed to the ground." The audience watching the battle went wild in disbelief.

"How is that possible? He can even resist my Raging Dragon Fist?!" Gary could not believe that Zachary was still standing after his second attack.

The stewards were also surprised to see this development.

Even Lewis was surprised. He never expected this to happen.

Elva, who had been worried about Zachary all this time, could not help but cry out in alarm.

"Hoo! I seem to be injured only slightly!" Zachary said. He breathed a sigh of relief and covered his chest with his hand. Although he resisted the attack from Gary, he was still injured due to the aftermath. Fortunately, it was not a serious injury.

"Is he going to resist another fist attack like this? I'm afraid he can't take another fist attack," Elva murmured. She was surprised to see that Zachary was able to ward off two strikes launched by Gary. However, if the situation went on like this, sooner or later he would be unable to bear the attack, and he would be more likely to be seriously injured.

"You brat! What kind of trick are you playing?" Gary yelled madly. He was much stronger than Zachary, but he couldn't beat him with two fists. The whole thing was incredible for him and he couldn't help feeling frustrated.

"Nothing special. It's just that the power of your fists was too weak," Zachary answered.

Gary became extremely furious when he heard Zachary's reply. He roared and rushed toward him with his fists that turned into shadows.

"Taste the strongest attack of mine!" In an instant, Gary's fists were like a crowd of demons pouncing fiercely at Zachary. The fist shadows transformed into overlapping dragon shadows, and rushed towards Zachary.

The stone plates of the battle ring, within ten meters around Zachary, were all impacted by the force of the martial energy and began to crack.

"I can't believe that Gary just used the strongest skill I taught him. I told him to use it in the final round," Albert said as he shook his head.

Since it was Gary's strongest skill, its power was not hard to imagine.

The disciples were shocked as they watched agape. Even Lewis and the stewards watched with a heavy look on their faces. They believed that the power of Gary's attack was simply too much for Zachary to withstand.

"Zachary..." Elva whispered under her breath. Her face was now etched with a look of serious concern.

After about twenty fist attacks, Gary stopped, gasping for air. The dust around him gradually dissipated.

"Let me see if you can resist my attacks this time!" Gary exclaimed confidently. He felt that all his fists hit on Zachary, so he was very confident that Zachary would not be able to withstand his attacks.
