The Seventh Base

Chapter 926: Chapter 13: Forcing Submission Through Combat

Xu Mo didn’t refuse this time and directly walked forward.

Since the establishment of the Blue Star Energy Technology Group, he rarely used Source Power in combat; on Byron Star, it was all about battles between warships, personal power wasn’t noticeable.

Coming to Chloe Star, this was his first provocation encounter, just in time to test his Combat Power level against Joe, he had watched many combat videos before, but videos were not as profound as personal combat experience.

Joe’s eyes were sharp, his pupils flickered with a golden glow, and the golden Source Power released from him exuded a domineering and fierce aura.

“Please,” Xu Mo said, and as his words fell, Source Power enveloped his body upward, bringing Xu Mo into the air.

Joe let out a shout, his figure also soaring into the air.

In the distance, someone from the Reine Martial Arts Hall walked out and looked in this direction from other directions; similarly, scattered silhouettes looked at the two figures in the sky, as if there was something exciting to watch.

“Make your move,” Xu Mo said to Joe.

“Okay,” Joe said without reservation, his figure like a golden lightning bolt, wrapped in Source Power, shot straight at him, with his body as the center, a brilliant golden Energy Light shone.

With a loud shout, Joe’s arm swung forward, punching out, the force of the punch piercing through space, utterly domineering.

“Boom,” a lightning shadow appeared, Xu Mo’s figure vanished from the spot, Joe’s punch hitting nothing but air.

“So fast,” Joe recalled Master Reine’s evaluation of Xu Mo, whose neural reaction speed exceeded his own level, meaning Xu Mo’s response capability was far superior to his.

“Buzz…” Joe’s body charged out again, extremely fast, golden light flashed and disappeared, punch shadows relentless, yet Xu Mo’s figure appeared at his side, still not hit.

This time, Joe did not stop, suddenly changing directions and striking again, relying on extraordinary explosive power to reach astonishing speed, killing instantly.

“Boom.”

A dull sound erupted through the air, the punch seemed to have hit Xu Mo, but it was a residual shadow of lightning, still not captured.

Joe’s figure didn’t stop, continuously attacking, resulting in golden lightning streaks appearing in the sky.

The spectators below only saw continual sonic booms in the sky, punch flashes in a continuous stream, enveloping an area of space, each punch was wildly powerful, his body seemingly integrated with the punching technique, growing more violent, if Xu Mo was caught, a punch would surely cause severe injury.

“Punching Combat Skills,” the spectator thought to himself. Master Reine also appeared at the entrance, watching the battle between the two; indeed, Xu Mo’s neural reaction speed and agility were astonishing.

Joe’s power was extremely domineering, coupled with this set of vigorous Punching Combat Skills, which suited him perfectly, making his attack power reach the peak of the Imperial Realm.

But unfortunately, he couldn’t touch Xu Mo.

“Are you planning to hide like this forever?” A voice suddenly exploded in the sky, and as the words finished, a golden silhouette swept out with a horizontal left arm, carrying brilliant golden light, but a lightning shadow appeared instead, his fist smashing the shadow, yet Xu Mo vanished again.

“Boom crack…” Thunder Light shone, the retreating Xu Mo bathed in lightning, especially on his arm, gathering terrifying Thunder Power, his eyes transforming, containing lightning brilliance.

Fighting up to now, Xu Mo discovered that Joe’s attack power was indeed formidable, but his flaw was too obvious; defeating Joe was not difficult, there were many ways.

Xu Mo’s mind operated at high speed, his computing ability was very powerful, the source of his immense neural reaction speed was because his brain could absorb energy.

With his brain running at high speed, Joe’s movements seemed like slow motion to him.

“Boom…”

An astounding golden fist glow pierced through space, straight towards Xu Mo, in this fleeting moment, Xu Mo sidestepped to avoid.

As Joe thought Xu Mo would dodge as before, Xu Mo who sidestepped suddenly swung his arm fiercely, the lightning glow stinging his eyes.

This strike seemed long-prepared, bursting forth with Thunder Light, as if taking advantage of the previous dodge, abruptly returning, exploding with a stunning attack speed.

Joe was too late to change actions again, his left arm hastily swung forward, trying to block Xu Mo’s attack.

But the lightning fist glow was too fast, arriving in an instant, hitting Joe’s chest before his left arm could strike out, with a loud bang, Thunder Power carried overwhelmingly into his body, even with powerful energy protection, Joe’s body was still knocked flying, experiencing severe pain in his chest, stopping and coughing once, feeling weak.

He slightly bent forward, then looked up at Xu Mo, an expression of dissatisfaction showed in his golden eyes.

“You’re too slow,” Xu Mo said, and as his words fell, his body turned into a Thunder Light and vanished, directly punching out, Joe also punched out, but found Xu Mo’s figure quickly shifting positions, he could only hurriedly raise his hand to change position to defend.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

The spectators saw only Xu Mo’s remnants everywhere in the sky, Joe’s offensive was still domineering, but continuously passive, being suppressed to submission, just as Xu Mo said, he was too slow.

Whether in reaction speed or attacking movement speed, he was far inferior to Xu Mo.

Just being strong in attack is not enough to win the battle.

“Boom,” a loud noise, Joe was again blasted away, he exuded a scorched smell, his clothes were torn, covered in wounds.

In the distance, the entrance of the Martial Arts Hall, Master Reine watched the battle here, and the combat between the two was about what he predicted, Xu Mo’s abilities were very balanced, talents solid, and coupled with neural reaction speed surpassing his own level, facing Joe who only excelled in attack power without suspense, Joe simply couldn’t touch Xu Mo.

However, Xu Mo’s attack power was still lacking, later he will send a message to his senior brother, let his senior brother properly train him, he is a promising material.

“You won,” Joe said to Xu Mo, “However, even if you utilize exceptional reaction speed, without a strong attack capability, entering the Mystic God Temple might be impossible.”

Clearly, Joe admitted defeat yet wasn’t completely convinced, believing Xu Mo’s attack strength was weak, only using reaction speed advantage to beat him.

“Ready,” Xu Mo said, catching Qiao off guard.

Xu Mo was bathed in ten thousand rays of thunderous light, with wild lightning converging and coursing throughout his body. The Source Power around him seemed to go berserk, far surpassing the previous levels.

This scene caused Qiao’s pupils to contract, his gaze involuntarily becoming more serious. He could feel the Source Power around Xu Mo strengthening, though he didn’t understand why.

Outside the Ren dojo, Master Reine was also watching Xu Mo closely. Was it Telekinesis?

No, although Telekinesis can move objects, it can’t cause such a surge in Source Power.

So, was it due to the unique nature of Xu Mo’s own Source Power?

On Chloe Star, talented individuals were as numerous as clouds, and many people’s Source Power was unique. But regardless, his expression grew increasingly grave.

Xu Mo extended his arm. Although he wasn’t skilled in brute strength, the combination of spiritual power controlling Source Power and his own Source Power would multiply his explosiveness. He wanted to see how his unleashed power compared to Qiao’s without utilizing Combat Skills.

“Boom! Ka…”

Countless dazzling lights of Thunder Light shone, and Xu Mo’s body vanished from sight. The wild flashes of electricity were extreme, as if they were out of control. Xu Mo delivered a face-on, fierce punch.

Qiao threw a punch as well, a dull sound emanating as golden Source Power roared forth, bolstered by Combat Skills, with one punch seemingly capable of shattering space.

“Boom.”

A loud noise erupted as the space emitted a cracking sound, with both their fists colliding head-on. Blue and golden light barriers swept out, transforming into a terrifying Source Power Storm.

Xu Mo felt a tremendous force from his arm, but likewise, Qiao felt the Thunder Power penetrate directly into his body, causing his arm to go numb as if electrically shocked.

The golden glow flowing over Qiao’s body dissipated, revealing a charred blackness, with hair standing on end, as his body staggered back.

Qiao glanced down at his own body, feeling completely powerless and paralyzed. The thunderous power had invaded his body. Raising his head to look at Xu Mo, a wavering feeling arose within him. Was the gap really this big?

Even in a direct confrontation, he was crushed. Didn’t this mean he had no chance for the Mystic God Temple?

Qiao took a deep breath and then clasped his fists towards Xu Mo, saying, “Impressive.”

Next to them, Mona remained silent. She was also in the Imperial Realm and clearly understood this battle. If she were to step into the arena, she would not be a match for Xu Mo either.

Thinking that Xu Mo, like them, was vying for the Mystic God Temple spots, both Mona and Qiao felt somewhat pessimistic.

“Your combat power is already very strong,” Xu Mo responded, as the two of them landed on the ground.

Although Qiao was injured, he was still a transcendent who had used gene liquid, with incredible recovery abilities. Moreover, his inherent resilience meant the injury didn’t affect him much.

“I used to think that, but this battle was a heavy blow,” Qiao admitted sincerely. “Didn’t Master Reine give you a spot?”

With such combat power, what was the dojo thinking?

“Master Reine was willing to give me one spot, but it’s not enough. He recommended I go to Tis Palace. Do you want to give it a try too?” Xu Mo suggested. Making another friend wouldn’t hurt, and Qiao might be a local of Chloe Star, more familiar with the planet.

“The Tis Palace is a top training ground for Transcendents, with quite a few spots available, but the competition is fierce. I don’t know if there’s a chance,” Qiao said. “But it’s worth a try.”

“Together?” Xu Mo asked.

“When?” Qiao replied.

“Tomorrow?” Xu Mo proposed.

“Alright.” Qiao nodded. “I live nearby, how about you?”

“Me too, let’s exchange contact information and go together tomorrow.” The two exchanged communication details and then parted ways.

“Tis Palace,” Mona whispered to herself, deciding to join the excitement as well.

After they left, Master Reine contacted his senior brother.

This battle revealed that Xu Mo had great potential. If luck wasn’t against him, entering the Mystic God Temple should be no problem, deserving special attention from his senior.

After parting ways with Qiao, Xu Mo headed back, feeling a bit gloomy.

“Seems like there’s no hope for me,” Hans muttered. He had lost to Qiao, but Qiao was crushed by Xu Mo. Seeing it this way, the gap seemed too large.

And this happened even after using Genetic Evolution Items. If it were before, wouldn’t the gap be even bigger?

Xu Mo had initially thought about letting Hans give it a try, but after this encounter, he realized Hans had little chance.

Qiao was just one of the many Transcendents wanting to enter the Mystic God Temple. Hans was already outmatched, making the nomination spot tricky, let alone passing the Mystic God Temple’s selection.

“We just arrived on Chloe Star, let’s take it slow,” Xu Mo encouraged. “Even though I defeated Qiao, there’s bound to be other Transcendents with similar power levels vying for the Mystic God Temple spots. There will surely be a gathering of powerful individuals, so the pressure is quite high.”

Having no issue defeating Qiao, but since Qiao was just one of many Transcendents, this gave Xu Mo some pressure to train for a good period. Regarding self-training, the development of the base was, in comparison, not urgent.

“In the past, I didn’t have much time for cultivation. If I can enter the Mystic God Temple, it should be different,” Ye Huan added. This was truly the world of Transcendents he pursued.

After resolving the issues on Byron Star, Ye Huan’s goal was to cultivate, aiming to wield a stronger sword.
