I Have Medicine

Chapter 519 - Ever Victorious

Gu Zuo looked at his family’s big brother, who stood on the raised platform with his hands clasped behind his back, with bright and shining eyes.

He knew that big brother’s strength would become even more terrifying after his breakthrough, but now it seemed that the level of terror was higher than what he imagined! Gu Zuo couldn’t help but feel incredibly happy.

Big brother’s current performance at the Prodigy Monument would certainly attract everyone’s attention. As such, the reputation of Ten Ultimates Sect would naturally rise, and the palace master would definitely be overjoyed.

During the next two consecutive matches, Gongyi Tianheng still won one after the other. However, when dealing with the 11th place, his punch was finally blocked by that prodigy, who obstructed the attack with everything he had. Unfortunately, this obstruction was just a block. On the contrary, due to the firm resistance, that prodigy was injured more seriously than the previous prodigies who continuously mitigated its power. In addition, even though Tianheng only sent out one punch at a time, the strength of each punch was increased…

Shortly thereafter, Tianheng looked at the one in 10th place.

The 10th-place prodigy wore a slightly forced smile, and got onto the platform: “Prodigy Gongyi, please give me more advice.”

Tianheng had a smile on his face, and said: “Please.”

The spirit weapon held by this 10th-place prodigy was a profound-level spirit weapon. With fifty-nine percent spirituality, it was of the highest quality among the profound-level spirit weapons. At his present realm, although he could only use golden-level spirit weapons as he pleased, the quality and spirituality of profound-level spirit weapons were far superior to that of the golden level. If he tempered and refined it with the utmost care, the effects would be better than that of golden-level spirit weapons. It also allowed him to adapt to a higher class of strength as quickly as possible.

Originally, amid this kind of battle, the 10th-place prodigy didn’t have any intention of relying on the advantages of spirit weapons. But now it appeared that, if he didn’t take out this spirit weapon, his loss at Tianheng’s hands was probably going to be unsightly. This allowed him to put aside his pride. He could only give it a try.

After that, the 10th-place prodigy calmed down, lifted the curved hook in his hand, and poured all of the profound qi in his body into the weapon!

He wasn’t prepared to engage Tianheng in a protracted battle. Rather, he wanted to resolve this fight in the shortest time possible, and knock Tianheng off the platform in the first few attacks!

As a result, the 10th-place prodigy didn’t hold back at all.

Gu Zuo observed the sharpness of that spirit weapon, and furrowed his brows.

It looked like the matter of tailor-made spirit weapons for big brother had to be brought forward on the schedule. Otherwise, even though the six techniques created by big brother were extremely exquisite, if other people used spirit weapons and he didn’t, big brother would certainly be negatively affected.

On the raised platform, Tianheng stood tall and unafraid.

The moment the 10th-place prodigy made his move, Tianheng had already seen what the other party was going to do. However, something as insignificant as a profound-level spirit weapon that hadn’t been completely developed couldn’t impede his footsteps.

Tianheng directly sent out an explosive punch.

But this time around, this punch used the strength of a whole qi ocean!

The enormous blood-colored fist rose up at great speeds, and practically covered the entire platform. The 10th-place prodigy felt that the surroundings were permeated with the color of blood. Only the spirit weapon in his hand still glowed with a dazzling brilliance, but shining within this brilliance were threads of red light. It seemed to be a power that was constantly nibbling away at the weapon’s radiance.

The 10th-place prodigy was alarmed: Not good! There’s an exotic type of energy within this blood fist!

Right away, the 10th-place prodigy didn’t dare to hesitate, and abruptly slashed with that spirit weapon — Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, a ray of snow-white light cleaved through the air and headed straight for the enormous, blood-colored fist. However, the fist was wrapped with a surging, mighty force as vast as the mountains and seas. The light was rapidly suppressed from top to bottom!

Amid the prodigy’s shocked expression, the snow-white light was swallowed up by the bloody light. Although that surging, mighty force was reduced by half, the remaining half could still leave him with formidable injuries!

The 10th-place prodigy hurriedly sent out a palm, and this quick and violent attack offset that bloody fist. Meanwhile, he utilized an incredibly strange body technique. After several consecutive jumps, he left the place covered by the bloody fist and arrived on the opposite side of the raised platform where the bloody light had been weakened.

After that, the prodigy’s forced smile became even more embittered: “I lost.”

Tianheng flicked his sleeve, and the bloody light above the platform completely dissipated: “You let me win.”

At this moment, the low Ascendant Realm Gongyi Tianheng, an all-star prodigy who just broke through and couldn’t even be said to have stabilized his realm, had stepped directly to the 10th place ranking for Ascendant Realms!

Then, Tianheng looked at the one in 9th place. His eyes were filled with fighting spirit: “Brother, would you please enlighten me?”

Gu Zuo watched all kinds of battles on the raised platform where the winds surged like gathering storms and the sea waves churned into maelstroms. He did his best to restrain the excitement in his heart.

His family’s big brother was so awesome!

The 9th, 8th, and 7th places were no match for him at all.

It wasn’t until he reached 6th place that the opponent was finally capable of making Tianheng throw a second punch. But after the second punch, that prodigy didn’t have the strength to keep fighting, and lost under the winds of his punch.

As for the top five prodigies, their strength reached another level altogether. This time, the battles weren’t going to be as easy as before.

At 5th place, Tianheng threw out thirty-three punches, but his opponent didn’t have enough profound qi and lost.

At 4th place, Tianheng had an unrestrained and uninhibited battle of punching techniques with the other party, but he couldn’t win if he only used punches. Tianheng varied his moves, and utilized the Great Asura Hand. With its dauntless and fierce power, he defeated the other amid clenched fists and palm strikes.

At 3rd place, this person’s strength was high and mighty. Although the Great Asura Fist and Great Asura Hand were incredibly powerful, they couldn’t beat this person in battle. Hence, Tianheng used the Asura Blood Saber Incarnation. This technique was unusual and elusive, and the bloody edge of this blade could shock the heavens. In the end, the opponent was inferior, and suffered a defeat.

At 2nd place, the prodigy’s strength was extremely powerful. Tianheng exhausted all of his methods and could only reach a stalemate. After that, he abruptly withdrew backwards. Grasping a bow and arrow, thirteen arrows pierced through the air one after another. The opponent couldn’t change his moves in time, and used up his profound qi. He also had no choice but to admit defeat…

Without realizing it, Tianheng had become an unstoppable force, overthrowing all opponents who stood in his way. Although those prodigies still weren’t willing to accept it at first, this unwillingness gradually disappeared after watching his rank climb higher and witnessing even more of his methods and techniques.

In the final analysis, this was true skill. It wasn’t opportunistic trickery.

A person with skill was always worthy of respect.

Tianheng’s strength was recognized by numerous prodigies. However, since Tianheng had struggled so much in his battle against the one in 2nd place, what they wanted to know now was whether he was going to fight the 1st-place Duan Tianxing.

He didn’t let down the crowd of prodigies. Before Tianheng adjusted his breathing, he had given a slight nod towards that Duan Tianxing.

Duan Tianxing naturally understood what he meant, and a hint of fighting spirit emerged in his eyes.

About an hour later, Tianheng finished resting. He had recovered to his most optimal state.

Shortly thereafter, he got onto the platform, and warmly said: “Brother Duan, please give me some advice.”

Nevertheless, these words made everyone cast their scorching gazes on Duan Tianxing!

Duan Tianxing slowly stood up: “Brother Gongyi, by all means.”

His figure flickered, and he appeared across from Tianheng.

When facing Duan Tianxing, Tianheng’s expression became more solemn. It was because the qi emissions on Duan Tianxing were at least twice as powerful as that of the 2nd-place prodigy.

He had to treat such a person with a more cautious attitude.

Down below, Gu Zuo also found that Duan Tianxing was different from the other prodigies. At this moment, his heart shivered.

However, he believed that his family’s big brother would definitely win!

Duan Tianxing said: “If the power of the moves you used before is limited to this, you don’t need to employ them again. You also wouldn’t be my match. In comparison, I’m more interested in your blood river. I wonder, how powerful is your blood river after you’ve advanced to the Ascendant Realm?”

Tianheng faintly smiled: “I certainly won’t disappoint Brother Duan.”

After the two exchanged a few words, a giant hammer appeared in front of Duan Tianxing.

The shape of this hammer was quite ordinary. It had the same shape as the most commonly-used hammer in the hands of a blacksmith. In addition, its radiance was very subdued and reserved. It looked no different from the average piece of iron.

But anyone with a bit of discernment would discover something. If they carefully looked at the textures of this hammer, there would be a dizzy feeling as though one’s mind had been sucked in. This could prove that it wasn’t as ordinary as it appeared.

Tianheng felt a powerful threat coming from this hammer. Hence, he put away his smiling expression, pointed his finger, and slashed out—

In an instant, a surging river of blood had already appeared in front of him!

The river of blood was a dozen times wider, but its length stretched on even farther. It towered straight into the air, but surprisingly, the current seemed to flow backwards and it hung upside-down in the sky. Within the river, there were countless whirlpools. Each whirlpool was revolving at great speeds, and humanoid creatures quickly emerged one after another. Their heights reached nine meters tall, and their body types were either slender or burly. If one looked carefully, they would find that their shapes weren’t exactly the same…

It gradually became clear that the faces of the burly ones were extremely ugly and fiendish, and their appearances were terrifying. On the other hand, the slender ones actually had graceful figures and beautiful features. It was just that their eyes were vicious and carried a type of malevolent feeling.

Such a scene left many prodigies stunned.

Only Gu Zuo had a helpless expression: “This is—”

In fact, he had long known that his family’s big brother received some inspiration while they were in the modern world. Drawing support from the concept of the six paths of reincarnation, Tianheng used the six qi oceans within his body to derive his own six paths. And among them, the path of the asura bore great similarities. As a result, when big brother was establishing this ultimate knowledge, he mischievously designed them in the image of those “asuras.”

Of the asura, males were ugly and females were beautiful. Their natures were cruel, vicious, and belligerent. Then, there was that river of blood. In the future, would it turn into an ocean of blood… At that time, it would be terrifying enough if a race of people really emerged from the waves.
