Chapter 244: Cloud Whale


The Cloud Concealing Body Technique he had relied on to become famous had seemingly become useless. The attack was directed at his hidden body. This situation made endless questions appear in Lǚ Yang’s mind, but it was not the time to talk about this. He needed to block the oncoming electromagnetic pellet.


As he had been vigilant, he was able to resist the attack. When the pellet was shot, the cloud in the front had already exploded. Following that, the clouds within a distance of 300 meters from it exploded successively, deflecting the pellet of the Super Electromagnetic Gun.


While he was defending himself, Lǚ Yang’s attacks didn’t stop. Aside from the huge cloudy mist ball that kept surging forward, the dozen clones surrounded Lin Yao like heavenly troops.


As a result, the onlookers witnessed a magnificent battle in the air. Flapping his Tempest Wings and dashing in the air, Lin Yao controlled the gale and released thunder and lightning. While facing the besiege of numerous cloudy mist heavenly soldiers, he had also unlocked the first level of his gene lock and removed his body shackles to increase his reaction speed.


With all his might, Lin Yao was flashing constantly like an electric light in the air. Some of the ordinary martial artists couldn’t even catch a clear glimpse of Lin Yao’s movements.


Lǚ Yang was not weak either. Although the cloud and mist were not as fast as Lin Yao, who was reigning over wind and thunder, they were massive in size and numbers. In addition, this was an arena competition in a limited area, which was very disadvantageous for Lin Yao.


As the massive cloudy mist ball approached, dozens of cloudy mist figures continued to chase and surround Lin Yao. Occasionally, a giant cloudy mist palm or cloudy mist heavenly soldier would shoot out from the huge cloudy mist ball and explode when it closed in on Lin Yao.


During this rapid hunt and encirclement, the raging and chaotic bombardment of clouds and mist, Lin Yao’s control of wind and thunder, his graceful soaring moves, which were akin to those of a swift in the storm, as well as the electromagnetic pellets, shot out from time to time as he flew, making all the spectators below the arena cheer consecutively.


“Wow. It’s so beautiful. What an amazing aerial battle.”


“Damn it… Are they that strong? I don’t think I could hold on for a second up there.”


“Lǚ Yang is certainly a genius that deserves to be on the Hidden Dragons List. Look at that ball of clouds and mist. He’s like an aircraft carrier.”


“Lin Yao is fairly good too. He is extremely agile, and his Super Electromagnetic Gun is also unparalleled.”


“Lǚ Yang is still stronger. He has the advantage in terms of inner strength and is now actively attacking. If Lin Yao can’t dodge successfully, it is going to be… dangerous!”


There was more than one person shouting this. Lin Yao, who was flying rapidly in the air, was seemingly besieged. With no means of escape, he was surrounded by 10 cloudy mist figures. While he was flying, a surge of heat appeared in the cloudy mist figures. They were getting ready to explode upon closing in on Lin Yao.


This was Lǚ Yang’s plan, and he was executing it.


“Go and die!”


Boom, boom, boom, boom…


Successive explosions were heard in the air. The phantom clones created by Phantom Clone Slash dashed toward Lin Yao and detonated like Kamikaze[1]. Lǚ Yang had been injured and was filled with hatred, but that was not all. After the attack of the cloudy mist figures, the massive ball of clouds and mist suddenly pounced forward and swallowed the exploding figures.


“I got you!


“Aren’t you good at escaping? Why don’t you run… No!”


After the clouds and mist devoured the figure, Lǚ Yang suddenly realized that something was amiss. In the area of the explosions, he could not sense any of the aura he hated.


The figure in front of him disappeared, and a numbing sensation appeared on his scalp. As he was feeling shocked and terrified, he immediately detonated the surrounding cloudy mist ball.


Boom!


This saved his life. A series of explosions deflected the oncoming pellet of the Super Electromagnetic Gun. However, like the first shot, it was not completely deflected this time. The electromagnetic pellet grazed his body and injured him again.


Unfortunately, he had no time to care about his injury this time. Instead, he stared at Lin Yao with horror etched on his face.


“What kind of devious trick did you use just now?”


“Can you guess?”


While facing the surprised Lǚ Yang, Lin Yao naturally wouldn’t reveal his move. However, his abilities had long spread far and wide. Very soon, some of the spectators below the arena had guessed Lin Yao’s move.


“What’s going on? Wasn’t Lin Yao caught?”


“It’s the Clear Mirror Swordsmanship. He has become invisible through the refraction of the Clear Mirror Swordsmanship.”


Both Lǚ Yang and Lin Yao had outstanding hearing abilities, and Lǚ Yang quickly discovered Lin Yao’s strategy. However, despite knowing it, he realized that he had no way of dealing with it.


When the phantom clones appeared and chased Lin Yao again, he realized how shameless the refracted invisibility skill was. The same aerial battle occurred again, but this time, Lin Yao was not very focused on escaping and was caught in a matter of seconds.


In spite of the move, Lǚ Yang didn’t have even a hint of joy on his face. The figure he had captured was not Lin Yao, but a refracted image of the latter. After this happened several consecutive times, Lǚ Yang’s lungs almost exploded from rage.


What made him feel more helpless was that after he became invisible through refraction, Lin Yao’s Super Electromagnetic Gun became even more obscure.


Although the launch of the Super Electromagnetic Gun would be accompanied by the phenomenon of gathering energy, which couldn’t be hidden, the refraction could cause one to misjudge. Once this occurred, even if there was a slight misjudgment, the Super Electromagnetic Gun could kill him instantly.


In order to avoid being shot and blown up, he could only detonate the clouds and mist around him successively. Even though he had a lot of vital energy, he wouldn’t be able to hold on for a long time.


By relying on his agile Tempest Wings, the Super Electromagnetic Gun, which was extremely strong at single-target attacks, and the refracted invisibility of the Clear Mirror Swordsmanship, Lin Yao forced Lǚ Yang into a corner.


This scene obviously exceeded everyone’s expectations. Besides the dumbstruck spectators, the group of big shots sitting on the building also looked on with open mouths. They hadn’t expected this to be the final outcome.


“Lǚ Yang is very strong. His clouds and mist can attack and fight off his opponents, as well as restrain close combat very well. If it was not for the fact that his cultivation level is lower and his soul is weaker, he might have made the top 50 of the Hidden Dragons List. But why did the battle turn out like that?”


“Of course, the one called Lin Yao is even more monstrous. He is extremely agile and he has the ultra-long-range, single-target attack, as well as the invisibility skill. He is probably taking the route of a sniper, who could kill an opponent of a higher level the most easily.”


“A sniper? It’s true that they can fight someone of a higher level.”


The analysis of the higher-ups made the expression of every member of the Flowery Sect turn ugly. If they were defeated by Lin Yao this time, they would suffer from the bad reputation of oppressing a genius in the sect. Plus, if the spokesperson they engaged was defeated, they would also become a laughing stock in the industry for at least a year.


With their reputation and interests at stake, some of them were having regrets about offending Lin Yao.


Nevertheless, others were feeling confident.


“Yang’er hasn’t failed yet. He has learned an ultimate move for the sake of the Hidden Dragons List.”


“Oh, an ultimate move?”


While the spectators were filled with enthusiasm, the battle in the arena had become more intense and exciting.


One could clearly see a massive number of cloudy mist figures gushing out of the cloudy mist ball and chasing Lin Yao in the air. They would explode as soon as they caught up with Lin Yao, only to end up blasting and dispelling some illusions.


The excitement of flying at high speed, the endless air battles, the uncertain and indestructible phantoms, and the various kinds of unexpected situations ignited the enthusiasm of the spectators below the arena, who were shouting and cheering incessantly.


The subsequent, continuous pursuits led to illusions. The Super Electromagnetic Gun shot at Lǚ Yang from time to time, making him feel that someone was messing with him.


“No one can play me for a fool. No one!”


After yelling loudly, Lǚ Yang, who was in the middle of the clouds and mist, placed his palms together, invigorating all the vital energy and talents in his body.


At his movement, a scene took place in the air, causing Lin Yao to narrow his eyes.


The clouds and mist that hovered around Lǚ Yang were surging madly, as if they were boiling. This time, they were no longer surging without any sense of purpose. A massive number of clouds and mist was gathering toward Lǚ Yang’s body, as though it was condensing into something.


Soon, that huge cluster of clouds and mist had condensed fully before Lin Yao’s eyes. Then, Lin Yao’s eyes widened as a behemoth appeared in his orbs.


It was a whale. A whale made of clouds and mist as long as 100 meters had appeared in the sky.
