The black-clothed youth appeared utterly dishevelled under Chu Feng’s suppression.
“You have some skill. This is much more thrilling.”
Yet just when everyone thought the black-clothed youth would remain suppressed by Chu Feng, more and more black patterns emerged across his body.
Then, instead of retreating, he launched a counterattack against Chu Feng. Once again, he began clashing directly with him.
Previously, faced with Chu Feng’s overwhelming combat power, the black-clothed youth could only dodge. He did not even dare to block Chu Feng’s assaults with his weapon.
But now, sparks flew and shockwaves rippled outwards. The black spear in the black-clothed youth’s hand crossed once more with the sword in Chu Feng’s grasp.
Everyone could see that the black-clothed youth’s combat power had risen again.
It had reached a level almost equal to Chu Feng’s.
“Invigorating. This is the first time I have encountered someone whose combat power is so close to mine.”
“Meeting you has made this trip worthwhile.”
The black-clothed youth roared repeatedly. Clearly, he was extremely excited.
Moreover, as if to demonstrate his own combat power, he became obsessed with clashing weapons directly with Chu Feng.
He seemed eager to regain face, determined to suppress Chu Feng through pure combat strength.
Whoosh.
Suddenly, Chu Feng twisted his wrist. His sword edge shifted abruptly, thrusting straight towards the black-clothed youth’s neck.
Seeing the danger, the black-clothed youth hurriedly dodged sideways. Yet unexpectedly, Chu Feng’s sword changed again, turning from a thrust into a slash aimed at the black-clothed youth’s shoulder.
The change was too swift. Though the black-clothed youth reacted quickly and tried desperately to evade, he could not avoid it completely.
With a splatter, blood sprayed outwards. Chu Feng’s sword had left a gory wound on the black-clothed youth’s arm.
Flesh curled back, exposing bone.
This strike had injured the black-clothed youth severely.
In truth, had he not dodged in time, his entire arm would have been severed.
“Good.”
“Brother Chu Feng, kill this bastard.”
Upon seeing Chu Feng wound the black-clothed youth, cheers and shouts of joy erupted among the juniors.
Their excitement stemmed from the release of long-suppressed emotions.
This was understandable, for the black-clothed youth had been far too overbearing.
Previously, they had been helpless against him, which had left them deeply frustrated.
Now, at last, they could vent those pent-up feelings.
“Damn it.”
Realising the situation was turning against him, the black-clothed youth retreated explosively.
But Chu Feng pressed his advantage relentlessly, giving him no chance to escape.
Chu Feng’s assaults grew even sharper, while the black-clothed youth lost his composure. Once again, he fell into a passive state of constant dodging.
“Impressive. Not only is his combat power exceptional, but his battle techniques are extraordinary as well.”
“Such swordsmanship far surpasses even that of Sheng Guangyu and Yu Lie.”
“Chu Feng truly deserves to be the foremost junior of our era.”
In fact, even the older generation powerhouses praised him repeatedly. Throughout the vast heavens and earth, words of admiration for Chu Feng echoed endlessly.
The juniors might not fully grasp the details of Chu Feng’s battle with the black-clothed youth, but the elders saw everything clearly.
This fight thrilled even them immensely.
Boom, boom, boom.
Suddenly, strange rumbles exploded continuously in the void above.
Looking closely, blue flames gathered incessantly there.
At the same time, blue flames also appeared on the black-clothed youth’s body.
“At last, he is unleashing a martial skill?”
Sharp-eyed observers recognised it as the martial skill deployed by the black-clothed youth.
Seeing this, the experts from various forces in the Holy Light Galaxy, who had felt somewhat gloomy earlier, now beamed with bright smiles.
Since his appearance, the black-clothed youth had been nearly invincible. The juniors of the Holy Light Galaxy could gain no advantage against him whatsoever.
But now, the tide had finally turned.
After Chu Feng entered the fray, he began suppressing the black-clothed youth.
Everyone knew that earlier, when they clashed purely with weapons, neither had been willing to use martial skills first. It was a test of raw combat power.
Whoever resorted to martial skills first admitted defeat, at least in the contest of pure strength.
Now, the one admitting defeat was the black-clothed youth.
Whether he acknowledged it or not, everyone understood that he knew he could not match Chu Feng in raw combat power any longer. That was why he unleashed a martial skill.
And this move was a five-stage Venerable Taboo.
Previously, when facing Sheng Guangyu, the latter had used martial skills multiple times, yet the black-clothed youth had not.
This showed that against Chu Feng, he no longer dared to be careless.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Suddenly, the blue flames on the black-clothed youth transformed into surging hurricanes that coiled around him.
The hurricanes were blade-like, containing terrifying destructive power.
If Chu Feng were engulfed by them, the consequences would be dire.
Yet Chu Feng showed no intention of retreating.
Crackle, crackle.
Thunder surged from Chu Feng’s body.
The lightning was ferociously savage, like the claws of vicious ghosts intent on tearing everything apart. Even the void was ripped open. The blue hurricanes around the black-clothed youth fared no better; they were shredded by Chu Feng’s lightning.
The lightning passed through the blue hurricanes and charged straight at the black-clothed youth, poised to tear him apart as well.
“Damn it.”
Seeing the peril, the black-clothed youth retreated explosively.
“What a powerful martial skill. Could that be…?”
At the same time, upon witnessing the changes in Chu Feng, the crowd was greatly shocked. They turned their gazes towards the Yu Clan Heavenly Clan Chief.
Even members of the Holy Light Clan did the same.
Many had already recognised that the martial skill Chu Feng was using was the Yu Clan Heavenly Clan’s treasured clan martial skill, the five-stage Venerable Taboo known as Heavenly Thunder Soul.
Yet the Yu Clan Heavenly Clan’s treasured martial skill was a supreme treasure not to be transmitted outside the clan.
How had Chu Feng mastered it?
What exactly was his relationship with the Yu Clan Heavenly Clan?
“That is indeed my Yu Clan Heavenly Clan’s treasured martial skill, Heavenly Thunder Soul.”
“However, it now belongs to friend Chu Feng as well.”
Under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, the Yu Clan Heavenly Clan Chief explained what had happened.
Even after learning the details, people still found it hard to believe.
A treasured clan martial skill. The Yu Clan Heavenly Clan Chief had simply given it to Chu Feng. They struggled to comprehend it.
Roar.
At that moment, furious roars echoed from within the world of the Storm Dragon Platform.
Looking closely, three hurricane beasts had appeared in that realm.
The three beasts differed in appearance, but each was enormous, roughly estimated at nearly ten thousand metres tall.
Their presence made the human-sized Chu Feng seem extraordinarily tiny.
In terms of aura alone, Chu Feng was already at a significant disadvantage.
“This black-clothed youth truly cannot be underestimated.”
“This should be the profound meaning of his martial skill, right?”
“Who would have thought that not only is his combat power formidable, but his mastery of martial skills is equally exquisite.”
“How will friend Chu Feng cope with this?”
The many experienced older generation powerhouses had already deduced the origin of those three hurricane beasts.
Precisely because of this, people began to worry for Chu Feng.
The black-clothed youth’s martial skill was already powerful. Now, deploying its profound meaning elevated its strength even further.
They feared Chu Feng might struggle to counter it.
Crackle, crackle.
Yet at that instant, surging lightning flashed before Chu Feng.
“Good heavens. That… could it be?”
Seeing this, the crowd’s eyes widened in shock.
Three lightning giants materialised in front of Chu Feng.
If they were not mistaken, what Chu Feng was unleashing was the Heavenly Thunder Profound Meaning: Thunder Souls Manifest!
