CHAPTER 929: CHAPTER 905: JUST MESSING WITH YOU (2/3)

Squeak!

Ximen Dong abruptly halted his charge, and due to the wild turbulence of spiritual power within him, his face turned a deep red, and his neck thickened. He roared, "What are you up to again!"

"Don’t rush, I need to stretch my muscles a bit!" Zhou Heng didn’t care if Ximen Dong would agree or not, he kicked a leg and stretched a hand on his own, but his movements were so slow as if he were an old man of seventy or eighty.

"Hahaha," the spectators burst into laughter, especially Jiang Zishuang, the little girl’s laugh threshold was not high at all, and she was already in tears from laughing.

Although Ximen Dong increasingly hated Zhou Heng, if he were to strike now and defeat a "preparing" opponent, such a victory would not be convincing!

This is Zhou Heng’s ploy!

This guy knows he is severely injured and definitely not his match, so he deliberately uses such a trick, trying to provoke him into losing his cool. This way, even if he defeats this brat, the other party could claim he lost due to his despicableness and could request a rematch!

Humph, this brat is truly despicable!

Thinking he saw through Zhou Heng’s scheme, Ximen Dong couldn’t help but reveal a cold smile. Fine, you want to play, I’ll play with you, I’ll play you to death! With this in mind, he wasn’t in a hurry and crossed his arms, waiting for Zhou Heng.

He wasn’t anxious, but the others were. What was going on with these two, weren’t they supposed to duel, how did it turn into a quarrel and a juggling show?

However, looking at Zhou Heng’s sluggish manner, even knowing the other party was deliberately provoking him, Ximen Dong couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger in his heart, wanting to choke Zhou Heng to death right away!

After at least another ten minutes, Zhou Heng finally stopped moving, coughed once, and said, "Finished stretching my muscles!"

"Die!" Ximen Dong, long fed up with waiting, leapt out at once upon hearing this, the ninety-two stars reappearing as he unleashed his full power, intent on smashing Zhou Heng with a single blow and giving him no chance!

"Wait—" At this moment, Zhou Heng shouted again.

Damn!

Bam!

Ximen Dong was giving it his all this time, how could he stop so easily, his body veered awkwardly and crashed heavily onto the platform. The platform was protected by a formation capable of withstanding impacts at the Star Emperor level and his collision was like striking a stone with an egg.

When he stood up, his face was covered in blood, looking incredibly fierce.

He glared at Zhou Heng with a sinister look and said word by word, "What else do you want?"

"Let me think!" Zhou Heng touched his chin pretending to think hard.

"You bastard are toying with me!" Ximen Dong roared, anger blazing from his eyes.

"Smart, you guessed it right! Sigh, now it’s not fun anymore!" Zhou Heng spread his hands.

"I, I’m going to kill you!" Ximen Dong was utterly consumed by rage, forgetting everything else in that moment, his sole thought was to kill Zhou Heng.

The spectators in the stands were laughing till their stomachs hurt; what was supposed to be a good duel was turned into a farce by Zhou Heng. However, now the real battle was finally starting, and it remained to be seen who the top expert of the Star King Court would be!

Zhou Heng unfolded his Carefree Step, his body moving freely to dodge Ximen Dong’s attacks, all the while not forgetting to "educate" him, "Not fast enough! Too slow! Didn’t you have enough for breakfast? A little faster, and you might hit me!"

After landing a strike, Ximen Dong unexpectedly calmed down, wasn’t the opponent’s stars dispersed, so how could he still use such a movement technique?

Could it be, he wasn’t injured?

Impossible!

Since Ximen Shan said Zhou Heng’s stars were shattered, then it must be so! His brother is a Star Emperor, how could he mistake this? And his brother would lie to him? Impossible! They had such a deep bond!

Then Zhou Heng is just gritting his teeth, using some secret technique to forcibly stimulate spiritual power, thus able to barely perform a movement technique, otherwise why doesn’t he counterattack?

Because he simply can’t!

Thinking this, Ximen Dong immediately sneered and said, "Junior Brother Zhou, don’t just keep dodging, don’t you think that’s too cowardly? Do you dare to fight me head-on for a few moves?" He roared, and thick black fur grew from his body, rapidly covering him entirely.

His body shape expanded drastically, with a loud pop, his clothes were instantly shattered, revealing a gigantic ape, with only the facial outline still vaguely recognizable.

—He had activated his bloodline power, transforming into an ancient Gigantic Ape!

Of course, his bit of bloodline was far inferior to a true Divine Beast Gigantic Ape, but since divine beasts carry the word "divine," they cannot be underestimated! Upon transforming into the Gigantic Ape, the speed at which spiritual power surged doubled, and his brutal strength skyrocketed!

Doubling the spiritual power surge speed meant that he could release double the spiritual power in the same attack, equivalent to doubling his strength! Combined with the brutal strength inherent in the Gigantic Ape, his power was at least three times stronger than before!

This, paired with a cultivation technique, would make his battle power explosion even more terrifying! Even a Five-Star Technique could unleash at least fifteen times the power!

He was known as the "Monster" in the Bright Immortal Courtyard precisely because of this terrifying bloodline power!

"Junior Brother Zhou, come and fight!" After transforming, Ximen Dong’s voice became extremely hoarse, and after pounding his chest heavily several times, he suddenly leaped up, his figure blocking out the sun, casting a massive shadow.

"Do I really need to make a move?" Zhou Heng slid his foot, instantly leaving the range of his opponent’s attack.

"Stop joking, dare you?" Ximen Dong kicked off with both feet, his body turning immediately, continuing to chase Zhou Heng.

Woosh woosh woosh, both of them moved incredibly fast, darting across the platform, the Bright Immortals could no longer capture their figures, even low-tier Star Kings found it very challenging.

"If I make a move, you won’t regret it?" Zhou Heng asked seriously.

"I won’t regret it!"

"Are you really sure you won’t regret it?" Zhou Heng confirmed once more.

"Are you a man or not, why are you so wishy-washy!" Ximen Dong was about to lose his mind; this guy was acting like a woman.

"Since you’ve repeatedly implored me to make a move, considering we’re from the same sect, I can only fulfill your wish!" Zhou Heng suddenly paused, turning to face Ximen Dong head-on.

Was the duel finally about to happen?

Everyone was filled with anticipation, wondering which hero would emerge as the foremost Expert among the Star Kings.

"Hahahahaha!" Ximen Dong burst into a series of laughs. He could finally smash Zhou Heng’s head and annihilate his Divine Soul! Laughing maniacally, he lunged forward, extending a claw as countless starlight flowed, forming a dazzling white light.

Die!

He relentlessly unleashed his attack, a Five-Star Technique augmented by the power he activated from his Bloodline Power, equivalent to operating an Eighteen-Star Cultivation Technique! And he himself was a Star King of ninety-two stars; combined, he was absolutely confident he could crush a shattered Star King!

Zhou Heng’s lips curled into a mocking smile. He wasn’t looking at Ximen Dong but rather at a corner of the viewing area—Ximen Shan was sitting there. Buzz, three Stars appeared behind Zhou Heng.

One big, one medium, one small!

The small one was barely noticeable, even the medium-sized Star was twice the size of a regular Stellar Realm, and the gigantic Star was even more outrageous, at least a hundred times the size of a normal Stellar Realm!

Was he really a Star King?

No wonder rumors circulated in the Academy that after Zhou Heng entered the Stellar Realm, he only formed one Star... Who would have thought such a Star could be so immense, one Star outrivaling a hundred, defying the heavens!

Damn, this guy is the real monster!

"Not good!" Ximen Shan realized he had been deceived by Zhou Heng upon seeing his three complete Stars! He didn’t know how Zhou Heng had fooled him, but the immediate concern wasn’t to figure that out; it was to rescue his brother!

Whoosh, he shot forth towards the direction of the ring.

Zhou Heng, expressionless, turned his gaze to Ximen Dong, with only a resolute killing intent left. He swung a punch, no brilliant lights flashing, just a simple, plain punch, heading straight for Ximen Dong.

"No—" Ximen Shan’s face turned horrified; he knew well how terrifying Zhou Heng’s punch was, capable of instantly killing Ximen Dong.

Boom!

He flew up into the sky above the ring, but to ensure fairness, there were Formation Restrictions all around it; not only were the attacks inside unable to cause outside vibrations, but outsiders were also unable to intervene.

—Unless one possessed the power of the Milky Way Realm!

Unfortunately, Ximen Shan was only a Star Emperor, not having reached that level.

"Ah—" he screamed miserably, bounced back by the power of the formation, the recoil force making him spew blood.

On the ring, Zhou Heng’s punch had already met Ximen Dong’s claw.

Bang!

The same loud noise echoed, but Zhou Heng and Ximen Dong’s bodies were instantly frozen, without the scene envisioned by the crowd of someone being blown away, nor did they separate after the blow to launch quick attacks again.

The two stood opposing each other, claw against fist, motionless.

Having activated his Bloodline Power, Ximen Dong’s stature was two zhang high, while Zhou Heng’s seemed small like a child in comparison, making their punch and claw clash extremely incongruous.

"Move, why aren’t you moving!"

"Keep fighting!"

Around the ring, the students gradually began voicing their dissatisfaction; what’s with this? After bickering for half a day, finally starting the fight, it’s just one chasing the other, totally insincere.

Now they’ve finally exchanged blows, why are they just frozen like that?

A glimmer of hope flashed in Ximen Shan’s eyes as he forcibly suppressed the discomfort from coughing blood and shouted, "Enough! We concede!"

Concede? Why concede?

Everyone was puzzled; were these brothers joking monkeys brought here to amuse them?

Buzz!

A strange wave rippled, and light glowed in the sky above the ring, indicating the restriction was being lifted.

"Brother!" Ximen Shan leaped onto the ring, dashing quickly.

Zhou Heng chuckled faintly, stepped back, and withdrew his fist.

Suddenly, an unexpected change occurred, Ximen Dong’s claw began to shatter, quickly spreading towards his arm! (To be continued.
