Unfathomable Senior

Chapter 331

Zhang Dong felt the lightning energy rushing into his body. Thanks to his superior cultivation technique he was purifying this energy into its most potent form before absorbing it. With this gorilla-like monster now dead he had reached the 6th level of Qi condensation which put him at the halfway point towards the foundation establishment level.

With having lost most of his cultivation level he was weak and susceptible. However, there was one good thing that came out of this. With the added knowledge and the increased soul power that he achieved from the other world, he would only get stronger.

He would be now able to recreate his foundation with his own two hands. It wouldn’t be based on the system but on his own knowledge of the DAO that was more advanced than it ever was. When he recovered all of his lost power he would be many times stronger than he was before his loss.

‘It is good to think about the future but I should survive this first…’

After Zhang Dong took care of his enemy the other two Thunder Ape’s turned his way. Their friend gave out quite the cry for help after he pierced his chest.

“He killed it?”

Xia Yanmei looked at the damaged sword in her hand. Even when successfully hitting the two beasts this blade only left scratches behind. The girl might have been the young lady from a clan but she wasn’t that strong. The people that were left here were only servants that gave up the way of the cultivator a long time ago.

Now some hope had appeared, the strange man that she helped nurse to health had awoken. Previously she couldn’t feel much spiritual energy from him but now it seems that he was her equal.

She was somewhat happy while also surprised. The man didn’t seem that much stronger than her but he managed to kill one of the Thunder Apes alone. She on the other hand even when getting help wasn’t able to deliver a damaging blow that would turn the tide.

“E-everyone… let us help that stranger, he looks capable!”

The people here jumped to the side after the two remaining beasts charged at this man. They nodded at the order as this did seem like a good opportunity to turn this around. But as they started running towards this man, he turned to them and shouted.

“You should stay back, you’ll just get in the way!”

Everyone stopped at Zhang Dong’s words. Xia Yanmei in particular was shocked at the response. The man looked half dead but for some reason, he wanted to fight the beats on his own. He shouted loudly so even the people in the audience heard it.

“Is he mad?”

“He did kill that one Thunder Ape but isn’t he getting ahead of himself?”

“Another Calf that does not fear the tiger!”

The people that were previously cheering for him changed their tune. He would get his chance to prove himself though. While everyone watched from the sidelines Zhang Dong waited for the gorillas to engage in the fight.

His cultivation was still slightly below these giants but with his purified cultivation arts he would make up for it.

This time around both of the apes jumped up in the air, similar to what the first monster did. After tussling with the other Ape, Zhang Dong was now used to their attack pattern. He waited for the right moment and slid to the side while evading the large descending fist.

Even though the ground was cracked from the impact he didn’t lose his balance. A swift knee with some Qi gathered on it collided with one of the beasts sending it tumbling back. The other one was quick to discharge some electricity but it was ineffective.

The Thunder Ape that was hit was surprised by how much pain it was feeling from that flying knee it took. With the increase in cultivation, Zhang Dong was now able to deliver painful punches that would make even those Ape second guess themselves.

While the one that was hit backed away slightly the other one charged. It swung its large hands around at a fast rate while trying to hit its target. Zhang Dong could feel the wind pressure from each attack passing his body as he evaded.

Even though he leveled the playing fields he still would suffer greatly if he got hit even once. His body had lost all of its refinement and he would need to reabsorb more items. This was not something he could do now so his Qi cultivation would have to suffice.

The old man in the VIP booth continued to look at the baffling display of skill. The young man that was fighting was constantly getting stronger. He could feel the young man move on from a very low level of Inner Aura realm to the middle stage in a couple of minutes. It seems that he was getting progressively stronger as time passed.

The way that he was fighting also told a tale of its own. He was very strategic with his movements the Thunder Apes even if stronger were just dumb beasts, they could not comprehend what was happening.

They constantly bumped into each other and got in the way of their own attacks. The young man was clearly playing with them while recovering his strength. The old man started to get worried, this man was an enigma that could belong to some strong force from somewhere. He was just too good at fighting, this was not something that could be learned at a third-rate clan.

“GUOOOhhh…”

Another Thunder Ape fell to the man’s attack. A large explosion of lightning energy was discharged by the silver-haired man didn’t seem to care. It was as if he was immune to pain and only looking at the leftover opponent.

It turned to a one-on-one once more. It seemed that the man was done with running as his strength increased again. He met the gorilla’s fist with his own and to the surprise of everyone the exchange was equal.

Previously he was evading blows and slipping small jabs to weaken this monster, now on the other hand the two started slogging it out. The Ape monster could not last long as it succumbed to the many blows, the last one ending up in its chest before it died.

‘This could be bad…’

The old man thought while rubbing his beard. How strong would this man be when he fully recovered, would he be able to go against him. If so would he spare him and the young master that trapped him in this arena?

He then looked at the man again and gave out a sigh of relief. There was still one thing that would protect him and the young master. The man was still wearing a slave collar around his neck, unless he reached the realm above the Inner Aura realm, he wouldn’t be able to remove that item.

“Y-you…”

His attention was brought to the side. The young lord he was tasked to protect slammed his fist into the rocky balustrade while looking at the arena. All of the apes were dead and not that many people had died.

“Who put that man in this event? I’ll have his head! He isn’t even part of the Snapping Turtle Clan, who is responsible for this?”

It seemed that the young master was sure that this was some kind of ploy. This also made this old man think, maybe someone was trying to make the young master look bad or maybe even to besmirch the Clan’s good name.

“Young master Dai Rong, you promised to let us go if we survived.”

While everyone was stupified Xia Yanmei saw this as a chance to escape. There was a promise given and with so many people present it would be a hit to the Clan’s face if they didn’t follow up on it.

“Promised? Yes, the promise still stands but you are not done yet, more beasts await! If you manage to survive I will be true to my word!”

The young master laughed while sitting down again. The gates where the apes walked through started rumbling once again as more beasts awaited.

“Lightning White Tigers! I heard they are a special breed that the White Tiger Clan has managed to produce! The Snapping Turtle Clan is finished!”

“They even have an alpha that is at the late stage of the Inner Aura Realm!”

Zhang Dong looked at the group of six tigers. Five of them were slightly stronger than the Apes he faced previously. There was also a larger one behind them, radiating power of about the Qi condensation 9th level.

‘Lightning White Tigers huh?’

He walked forward while the large group of people backed away while holding their rusted weapons. While passing next to what looked to be the leader in Xia Yanmei he spoke out to her.

“Young lady, please move back and just protect yourselves, you can leave them to me.”

“W-what? B-but there are so many we should work together…”

“It’s fine, leave this to the adult.”

He replied while charging forward, his legs started exuding static electricity of the golden coloring and to some, it looked as if he was skating on the ground.

While Zhang Dong moved towards he was thinking that he could not be any luckier. All of these beasts had electricity in them, through it he could quickly recover his power. The people here probably didn’t realize this yet and he would capitalize on this fact.

“RAWERrrr…”

The tigers growled and charged at the sole person stupid enough to engage them in an open battle. These white tigers had a small horn on their forehead, through it they could discharge concentrated electricity at their enemies, which they did.

Even when this blue energy connected with the man he didn’t falter. He looked even more ecstatic whenever one of them connected with him directly.

“Common give me more, that’s not enough!”

What followed was a strange battle indeed. The man seemed to just dance around these monsters. It was as if he was trying to force them into a long-range battle but whenever a bolt of lightning came he didn’t evade it. He continued to laugh and cackle like a madman while everyone watched, baffled more and more by this display.

Lightning White Tigers, Thunderous Green Tipped Snake, and even the Red-Bolt Devilhound was not his match.

“More give me more… this is not nearly enough!”

Zhang Dong turned to the VIP booth where a certain scared young master was looking at him.

“What are you? How could you kill all of those beasts yourself! Did the other clans send you?”

“Young master Dai Rong, we need to end this. That man is dangerous, activate his slave collar, I will get rid of him personally after he is moved back to the dungeon. We can also kill the remnants of the Snapping Turtle clan after they are gone from the city and still retain our face!”

The old man to Dai Rong’s side sent a hidden message to the young master that only the two could hear. Dai Rong’s face that had a frown on it quickly recovered as he stepped forward and started talking.

“Well done, you have won this event, as promised you will be set free!”

“Huh, it’s over?”

Zhang Dong looked to this Dai Rong with a raised brow, the people that were huddling in the back were quite surprised as well.

“But you there, you have been impudent so you need to be punished!”

Dai Rong pointed to Zhang Dong while activating a treasure that looked like a wristband. The moment he did Zhang Dong could feel the collar around his neck activating. It didn’t explode but instead started delivering large amounts of electricity directly to his neck.

“Bwahaha, you serious?”

A strange laughing sound escaped from Zhang Dong’s mouth as he lit up like a Christmas tree and then collapsed on the ground.

“Take him away!”
