Chapter 515: Chapter 278: Physical Combat, a Physique Like a Dragon

WHOOSH—

Gales howled and thunder roared. This was the Muddy Sea!

The murky seawater surged. Moonlight shone upon the ocean, but the moon’s reflection was nowhere to be seen on its surface.

’It seems the rumors that only the Moon Sea can reflect the moon are true.’

How could the Golden Dragon have possibly imagined...

...that Lu Cang would be thinking about such things while fighting it!

It brought its claws together, raising them high!

Then, it smashed them down violently toward Lu Cang!

"Dragon Hammer!"

BZZZZ—

In an instant, Time came to a standstill.

Lu Cang stared at the paired fists smashing down from the sky, took two seconds to analyze the attack, and then released the hold on Time.

He threw a sudden punch upward!

Invincible Stream - Third Form·Breaking Army Heavy Fist

His tiny arm collided with a colossal fist the size of a continent!

At the moment of impact, a ripple of golden light pulsed outward!

Lu Cang’s body plummeted toward the ocean, a wave of pain washing over him!

But it was only pain.

BOOM!

He crashed into the sea, but in the next moment, his figure shot back into the sky!

"Come on!"

He instantly slammed his fist into the Golden Dragon’s chin!

Azure Sky Stream - Third Form·Illusion Strike

TATATATATATA!

Lu Cang’s fists became a blur of afterimages, unleashing a thousand punches in a single instant!

The Golden Dragon only felt a tremendous force hammering its chin, causing its head to tilt back slightly!

"Good!"

The Golden Dragon flapped its wings and threw a punch!

It aimed a punch straight up at its own chin!

BOOM!

It had struck itself, plain and simple!

The blow knocked its own head back, but Lu Cang had already appeared above it. Now that he was a Level 5 Warrior and a Level 5 Mage, every Combat Skill in his Azure Sky Stream had received a significant boost.

The Speed of Eighth Form·Movement had also become much faster.

"Are you using Magic?"

The Golden Dragon’s Perception could perfectly keep up with Lu Cang’s Speed.

Seeing Lu Cang instantly appear above its head, it issued a challenge from its very soul!

"Heh... you can’t even tell this is a Combat Skill?" Lu Cang’s thoughts dripped with scorn.

"Is the great Golden Dragon forbidding a Warrior from using Combat Skills?!"

The Golden Dragon was furious!

"Who said you can’t? Use whatever you’ve got!"

Lu Cang was already bringing a single leg down in a smashing kick!

At the same time, the Golden Dragon swiped a claw horizontally at Lu Cang above its head!

’So fast!’

’The speed of that counter-attack was perfect...’ Seeing the incoming fist, Lu Cang immediately changed his move, turning his downward axe kick into a horizontal sweep!

BOOM!

Fist met leg!

Lu Cang was sent flying sideways once again—

But the instant he was knocked away, he was already closing the distance again!

The Golden Dragon punched once more!

BOOM—BOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOM!

The two traded blows, fist against fist!

The Golden Dragon’s attacks were hammering a single, insignificant point, yet Lu Cang’s tiny fist was able to firmly receive its storm-like barrage!

"Is that all? Is this it?!"

Lu Cang roared, "This level of attack isn’t enough to kill me, Dragon!"

With every punch that flew at him, Lu Cang could feel the flow of power.

He could even feel his Body Refining Technique becoming more active!

It wasn’t just the Divine Level·Heaven-Ascending Realm of Perfection that was enhancing his physical strength.

In truth, the Divine Level Physical Limit was also constantly improving his physical strength. Having only just advanced to Level 5, Lu Cang’s body still had immense room for growth.

In the period immediately following his advancement,

the progress of his physical body was at its fastest, bringing breakthroughs almost every second of every minute.

Furthermore, all of Lu Cang’s Body Refining Techniques had been pushed to a Skill Level of 501, far beyond what any ordinary Body Refining Dharma Gate could compare to.

You could say that with each passing second, Lu Cang was stronger than he was the second before.

And the intense battle made Lu Cang’s Qi and Blood boil!

The creed of a Warrior is battle!

Physical combat is the fastest ladder to advancement for a Warrior. Normally, one breaks through their physical limits during intense battles by activating their Qi and Blood, thereby achieving a breakthrough.

But Lu Cang was an exception. The Body Refining Techniques he had learned were simply too numerous and too powerful.

So much so that he was constantly breaking through without needing to experience any blood-pumping battles.

But that didn’t mean... that battle was useless.

In fact, intense combat was nothing but beneficial to his physical growth. Lu Cang could feel his body getting stronger!

Lu Cang’s fist crashed against his opponent’s!

’He’s unleashing wave after wave of golden ripples... so this is how a Level 7 Golden Dragon exerts its power...’

’It feels completely different from any battle I’ve had before.’

’It makes sense that at different stages of power, the way you use that power should also be different!’

Lu Cang was sent flying back again and again!

As he was knocked away, the Golden Dragon would pursue him, continuing its assault!

BOOM!

After blasting Lu Cang away, it smashed both fists down on him! After knocking him down, it followed up with another barrage of several thousand two-fisted strikes!

DONG DONG DONG DONG DONG DONG DONG DONG DONG—

Lu Cang still met it head-on! Each time their fists collided, an extremely brief numbness shot through his arms.

His arms were instantly shattered and broken.

But they recovered in the very next instant!

The several thousand punches were exchanged in the span of a single breath. And in that same breath, Lu Cang’s arms broke and recovered several thousand times.

Under the bombardment, Lu Cang plummeted into the deep sea!

And the Golden Dragon dove into the water after him!

BOOM!

Its draconic tail swept around in a spin, and Lu Cang crossed his arms to block!

BANG!

The blow sent Lu Cang flying for hundreds of kilometers through the seawater. As he was blasted through the ocean, he collided with Demons along the way, smashing straight through their bodies.

The Demons died on the spot.

Finally, he ground to a halt!

Countless surrounding Demons charged toward Lu Cang!

The Demons in the Muddy Sea were even more numerous than in the Secret Sea, and they all possessed an extremely strong desire to attack!

However, before these Demons could even make a move,

BANG!

an unnaturally massive figure appeared directly in front of Lu Cang. The ocean Demons were annihilated, turning into a bloody mist just from being brushed by its enormous body!

"Human! Your physical body is truly tenacious!"

Lu Cang was still completely unharmed. The instant its tail had whipped him, he’d been blasted into scattered chunks of flesh and bone, but in almost the same instant, he had already reformed from those scattered pieces back into a complete human form!

By the time he stopped flying backward, he was already back in his complete, Peak state!

"You’re not so bad yourself," Lu Cang said, excitement rising in his voice. The battlefield had long since moved far away from the continent.

His worries gradually faded.

In their place was the sheer enjoyment of the battle!

’Even just one-thousandth of its damage is enough to shatter my body and blast me to pieces!’

’This is a dragon!’

After reforming again, Lu Cang’s body was even stronger than before.

And the fight had finally dragged on for four minutes!

From the moment he met the dragon to fighting in the Muddy Sea and then into the deep ocean, only four minutes had passed!

And every single one of those minutes...

...had been incredibly beneficial to Lu Cang!
