38 Battle, Start!

Lanvris and Lenin stared each other down, no one daring to make a move. It was obvious that they were waiting for the other to make a move.

"You know, you are an interesting fella. I still can't wrap my head around the fact that someone who just started cultivating nearly bested Matyr"

Lanvris smiled.

"Show me what you've got!"

Lenin smirked.

"Haha! I will not hold back one bit"

Boom!

Lenin's qi blasted forth. Waves and waves of energy washed across the area. Dense destructive energy filled the air.

.......

Mr. Ravine, who was sitting at the VIP area almost collapsed. He couldn't comprehend what was going on anymore. Because he couldn't hold himself back anymore, he blurted out;

"What the hell? His cultivation increased again? From golden core to the first layer of the nascent soul realm? Is this a joke?"

Mr. Ravine wasn't the only person shocked. Many of the dignitaries were shocked. Some were even contemplating on capturing Lenin to find out his secret.

Crack!

All of a sudden an aura that threatened to crush space barred down onto the dignitaries seated. All eyes turned to the Principal's seat.

"As esteemed guests, I know you won't dare threaten the safety of my students... Right?"

Her gaze contained unnerving power and authority.

'Of- of course principal. How could we dare think of something like that?'

One fat man said.

'Yeah, principal! We are men of stature, we would not dare to disrespect you' another man added.

Princess Swallow-heaven looked at them for a while before her aura dissipated. She turned back to the match.

........

Lanvris flinched as he felt Lenin's aura.

"It seems I underestimated you. But you are still far from my level. How about this, I'll give you the first move. I will not react in anyway, neither defense nor offense."

Lenin looked at Lanvris with a bold expression.

"You sure?"

Lanvris nodded.

Lenin immediately got into a familiar stance. A stance that Matyr knew all to well.

"Divinely Forged Muscles first stance, tiger's roar!"

Lenin leapt towards Lanvris.

It was the same technique he used against Matyr, but something was different. When Lenin fought Matyr, he used the cultivation of a golden core expert. But now he was using his full cultivation. The power boost was enormous.

The image of a flaming fiery tiger appeared behind Lenin's hand.

'What? If I don't dodge this...."

Seeing this, Lanvris' eyes snapped open. The wind element immediately tamed down, like it was his servant.

BOOM!

A shockwave spread out in all directions as Lenin threw his punch.

Lenin smirked.

"Did you not say you would not make a move?" He said teasingly.

"Tch. Damn it!"

Lanvris said in annoyance.

Scrresck!

Lenin's fist scrapped against the wind barrier twirling infront of Lanvris.

Crack! Crack!

The wind barrier begun to crack. Seeing this, Lanvris made a swiping motion with his hand. A large wind blade shot towards Lenin. Lenin jumped back a few metres to dodge the blade.

.......

Matyr sat in the stands with Aina and Brian. She was shocked to the core. Lenin had actually managed to force Lanvris to protect himself! She shook here head to calm down. She narrowed her eyes.

'It does not matter. If Lanvris actually begins attacking for real, Lenin will most likely lose"

Matyr was not the only person shocked, the crowd was stunned speechless. After Lanvris' domineering performance the previous day, they were not expecting a student with a lower rank to put up a good fight.

.....

Lenin landed a few metres away to dodge the wind blade, but before he could stabilize himself. Lanvris had already conjured several more wind blades that shot in Lenin's direction.

As the wind blades approached, Lenin activated the basic foot work technique. Enhanced by his stronger qi, he tried to weave through the attack.

Unfortunately he was not fast enough. Some blades managed to cut him at various places. Blood was spilling on the floor. Even though the injuries were light, they begun to pile up.

Lanvris watched as Lenin tried to dodge his wind blades.

"Ha! What a kid!"

His energy force exploded. The kinetic power released from him was monstrous. The wind begun to bend and twist. The wind blades grew stronger, faster and dangerous.

It was as if Lanvris was a god to the wind element.

He raised an arm and closed his palm sharply.

Swish! Ploch!

Lenin's arm was heavily injured. His eyes widened.

"How? None of the wind blades touched me!"

"You are probably wondering what just happened right?"

Lanvris said with a sinister smile.

He closed his palm again.

Slosh!

A large gash appeared on Lenin's side. Blood oozed out.

......

Aina frowned as she watched the battle.

"Yo, sis! How is Lenin getting injured?"

"Hmmm..... I can't tell"

"It is one of Lanvris' special skill" Matyr interrupted.

"He is able to cause the molecules at a certain area to explode in a certain way or in a certain pattern."

Aina gasped.

"What? What kind of heaven defying ability is that?"

Matyr smiled as she watched the battle.

"It truly is heaven defying, but as to all abilities it also has a weakness. You just have to find it"

......

Slosh!

Another injury appeared on Lenin.

'Tch! What do I do? What do I do? If this continues it will be over in no time! Should I use it? No, not now. My god force is a last resort.'

Lenin smiled.

'Then I'll use the other one!'

Lenin suddenly stopped dodging the wind blades. He was hovering above the ground. He moved in a strange pattern. He positioned his fingers in the shape of a claw.

Bowing his head, he said;

"Divinely Forged Muscles second stance..... Tiger's dance!"

Swish!

Lenin disappeared from his position.

Slosh!

Blood spilled. Lanvris' mouth dropped open as he failed to register what had happened. Claw marks were on his chest as blood dripped from the wound.

"Wh- what just happened"

Lanvris said as he looked at Lenin who had somehow just reappeared in front of him.
