Chapter 975 - 975 498 What is the Hegemon (4000)_2

Chapter 975: 498 What is the Hegemon (4000)_2 Chapter 975: 498 What is the Hegemon (4000)_2 Casio always made comments as if he were a diner at a restaurant. Of course, he didn’t review just any restaurant. At least, he would only glance at a restaurant whose food was edible and reasonably tasty, as in this case with Arlington.

In the battlefield’s center, two silhouettes maintained arm-wrestling stances. Casio looked at Arlington, who was emitting white steam all over his body, slightly annoyed by his stubbornness.

“Look, your muscle and skeleton are fragile like a biscuit,”

“A gentle push, a pinch, and they’d break.”

Casio’s movement was no longer slow—his right hand pushed forward at a normal speed.

Crack! Crack! Crack! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The familiar sound of bones cracking, mixed with the rending of skin like a whale’s, and arteries bursting, splattering copious amounts of blood.

Finally unable to hold on, Arlington bit down on his teeth and groaned.

He flew backward with a whoosh, his right arm exploding into rings of blood mist. He glided nearly a hundred meters before rolling in mid-air and landing on his feet. He then drifted dozens of meters due to friction.

The shoes were destroyed, leaving only his bare feet dragging out two long traces.

“This arm wrestling match — Whale King Arlington is at a disadvantage!”

“Whale King Arlington is injured!”

“Truly a boxing master! This senior of the Magical Golem Sect is at the ultimate fighter realm! I guessed right, I just guessed right, so good…”

On the side of Hong Li Empire Secret Martial Arts World’s viewing camp, everyone became excited and showed their joy upon seeing the result of the first phase of the battle.

They seemed even more invested and concerned than Casio himself.

They couldn’t help it; Whale King Arlington’s recent achievement of consecutive defeats of two top fighters from the Hong Li Empire’s Secret Martial Arts World had greatly disheartened many. Some had even shown signs of despair, unable to lift their heads. However, within less than three minutes, the tide turned, and Arlington showed signs of defeat.

HIs arm bleeding profusely clearly indicated he was injured. Meanwhile, the mysterious powerful figure from the Magical Golem Sect remained composed, seemingly much more at ease than Arlington.

This made the Hong Li Empire’s Secret Martial Arts World instantly think of the possibility of victory.

The spectators’ mood instantly surged with excitement.

In contrast, the camp from the Yana United States wore faces full of astonishment, seemingly unable to believe that the invincible Whale King Arlington had just faltered.

“Does the Hong Li Empire’s Secret Martial Arts World also have top fighters?”

“With a boxing master present, why didn’t he show up earlier instead of sacrificing the lives of two top fighters?”

“Whale King can’t be about to lose, can he? This…”

“The situation looks grim…”

The formerly high spirits of the Yana United States dimmed and became subdued.

They watched the battlefield intently, eager for Whale King Arlington to erupt again, to turn the tide of defeat and once again suppress Casio below him.

The people of the Yana United States thought this, and so did Arlington.

On the battlefield, he pointed his index finger of his left hand at his right shoulder, sparking a self-invented healing secret technique. At The top of his arm, a thick ring of muscle suddenly bulged, looking like a black bracelet, slowly pushing down from the upper arm to the forearm, and then crossing to his wrist.

Where the muscle ring passed, the skin repaired and the veins healed.

In a moment, his entire right arm was restored to its original state.

A master at the ultimate fighter realm is just like this, each one a boxing master who has fought their way out of life and death situations, inventing many domineering boxing secret techniques. For example, the first King, though he didn’t invent the seventy-seven secrets, they were created by a formidable figure from the secret martial arts past, which included seventy-seven mighty secret techniques, seventeen of which were of the healing type.

That’s more than a fifth of them.

It shows the importance of healing techniques, almost each one with its own unique creation.

But Casio didn’t need one, because he didn’t need it.

With a physical body comparable to an ultimate fighter in combat ability, Casio hadn’t been injured in a long time. His body, forged relentlessly like steel, was nearly indefensible, and moreover, the Magic puppet secret weapon inherently accelerated flesh healing. Merely passively, it could be much stronger than some of the healing techniques created by boxing masters, similar to the undying nature of dark creatures.

It was because of his strong physique that Casio didn’t need to focus on defense, healing, or regaining energy. He only needed to focus on developing offensive tactics, combat methods, suppression techniques, focusing on attack power.

This was his advantage, unmatched by anyone so far.

Whoosh… A gale swept across the high altitude of the battlefield, drifting the broken cloud layer.

“Panting, panting, panting…”

Arlington gasped for air, his secret techniques revolving to replenish the strength in his muscles like flowing water once again filling him.

He stared at the distant Casio who hadn’t made a move, somewhat puzzled.

“Why let me recover strength? Are you letting me win?”

“Hehe…” Casio chuckled faintly, “I’m merely respecting a true martial arts fanatic. You were only using strength just now; I appreciate that…”

“Now, unleash everything you’ve got. Strength, Qi, will, boxing method, include them all if you have them, present it all before me. Just like delicacies arrayed on a dining table…”

He took measured steps towards Arlington. The dominant and robust momentum gradually released, causing the air to twist and boil.

In mid-air, a translucent monster with flailing claws formed.

“Tap, tap, tap-tap, tap-tap, tap-tap-tap…”

Casio’s footsteps went from slow to fast and got increasingly faster. His silhouette streaked across the torn, cracked ground like a speeding meteor.

“Huff…”

Whale King Arlington exhaled a twisting, massive stream of hot air from his mouth, his eyes deep and black, watching Casio rushing towards him: “As you wish…”

Boom!

Arlington positioned himself in a combat stance, arms spread out at either side of his chest, knees slightly bent, muscles tensing. His spine arched slightly, akin to a fish gathering strength to leap out of the water.

“Eastern… Whale… King Fist!”

Bang!

He threw a punch, the ground vibrated violently. A blue whale phantom appeared behind Arlington, lunging forward overlapping the force with his right fist!

Thump!

Two formidable silhouettes collided, force against force.

Casio’s fist made no attempt to evade, meeting Arlington’s iron fist head-on. His entire right arm wound with scarlet Qi, the remnant scattering fragments resembling the burning feathers of a Blood Vulture Bird.

As he smashed his fist, the dripping beak and arm aligned completely.

Screech! Roar!

Two opposing cries echoed back and forth.

Whale King Arlington’s entire body shook, his right fist gushed blood, and he was forced to stagger two steps backward. Seizing the opportunity, Casio swung his arm forward, his left fist lashing out like a meteor hammer. However, Arlington blocked with his arms upward and, at the same time, his right leg lashed out like a shooting star.

Casio was kicked in the abdomen and lifted off the ground into the air.

A cold gleam flashed through Arlington’s eyes as he took a deep breath, almost sucking the surrounding airflow into his abdomen. His spine bent backward like a bowstring stretched to its limit, his hands pulling back, fingers interlocked into fists.

Zing! Whoosh!

The bowstring unleashed, his arms hammered down, fists tearing through the air along the way.

Thump!

In mid-air, Casio pressed down with a palm, colliding with those hammering fists merged into one. A circle of air waves spread out, the explosive force sweeping across. Arlington’s knees slightly bent, the ground nearly a hundred meters behind him cracking. Yet, his eyes gleamed brighter, fixating on the drifting figure of Casio.

“Eastern Whale King Fist, Break the Waves!”

Arlington’s body surged with an explosive blue Qi, pushing him forward like a series of rushing streams, vanishing from the spot in an instant. Each step pounded the ground, with blue Qi exploding beneath his feet propelling him faster, his whole silhouette seemed to glide, trailing a blue tail flame.

“Eastern Whale King Fist, Part the Seas!”

“Void, void, void!” The terrifying momentum cleared the airflow in front of him, creating an almost vacuum-like state. Arlington’s swinging arms showed blue cracks on their surface, from which intense light erupted. Each swing caused the air to explode.

The gathered power naturally formed a vortex at the position of the fist, drawing in the surrounding air, mud, stones, and water currents.

The vortex contained indescribable horrific power.

His gaze firmly locked on Casio, he articulated each word,

“Eastern Whale King Fist!”

“Fall, Heaven, One, Strike!”
