Chapter 223 - Forceful Comeback, Touch the Scales and Die! (2/2)

“Thomas, you are too anxious.” James blew a bubble with his gum, “You should always ask the opponent’s name before fighting. Otherwise, how are we going to write the report when we get back? Don’t tell me that you’re planning to write that we were too anxious and had already knocked out the person before asking for his name?”

“Oh, you are right.” Thomas nodded humbly and said, “You should already know our names, right? Shouldn’t you guys also report your names as a form of courtesy?”

Kyokushin Genichi was enraged when he saw that Thomas had the same carefree expression he had on the day he was beaten up. “Thomas, James! Please remember that the people who will defeat you today go by the names Qin Fen and Du Peng!”

“Qin Fen?”

Thomas and James looked at each other and saw a lost look in each other’s eyes. This name was completely absent from the information they were given before they came, it was a name that had never been heard before.

“Du Peng?”

Thomas scratched his temples with his index finger, and looked as if he was in serious thought, “Eastern, surnamed Du. The more famous ones are only the Snake King General Du Heng and his family. I think there was one from the current generation who was called something like Du Zhanpeng. He was extolled by the Eastern military to have a seemingly promising future…”

Thomas paused and looked at James to signal for help, “Did I remember correctly? I think his name was Du Zhanpeng?”

“I think so.” James nodded first, then waved his hand and smiled, “Who cares about his name? The Orientals are the best at bragging. They would brag about discovering some genius every year. But which one had we not sent into hospitals after beating them up?”

“True.” Thomas switched from having a curious expression to sneering disdainfully, “Orientals love to bootlick. No matter how lacking the Snake King’s grandson is, he would still have a bunch of bootlickers right? Too bad this military camp doesn’t seem to have the Snake King’s grandson, otherwise I really wish to crush his bones and listen to his scream…”

Thomas suddenly stopped talking and looked toward the direction of a cold murderous aura.

It was unsure when, but the young martial artists that were standing beside Du Peng had already taken a few steps back subconsciously. They were all staring at Du Peng with surprise, unable to comprehend his sudden transformation from being as steady as the mountains into such an icy cold murderous aura.

Qin Fen also stepped back silently. If we were to say that humans were like dragons that had certain scales that couldn’t be touched, the name Du Zhanpeng was undoubtedly the most sacred and inviolable scale for Du Peng.

Du Peng raised his arm slowly, pointed at Thomas and said with a low voice: “You, come out.”

Thomas’ spirit tightened. The disdain on his face had long disappeared without a trace, and his intention for battle leaped in excitement within his body. His shimmering eyes were evaluating Du Peng. “A pro! Much stronger than the previous sick men of East Asia. You must be the secret weapon among the East Asian recruits right?”

Steel atoms rushed out from the accumulators within his body and spread throughout each corner of his body by following the simulation of true energy. There was a faint glow on his white skin that was similar to the reflection of sunlight.

Five-star peak!

Kyokushin Genichi’s chin sank. It turned out that Thomas did not even use his full strength during their previous battle? A strong sense of humiliation was blowing the confidence that had just been built not too long ago.

“Oriental kid, I don’t know why you got so angry suddenly.” Thomas walked toward Du Peng at a steady pace, like the “Terminator” in the sci-fi movie.

Each step he took would inevitably leave a mark that was several centimeters deep, and the stones that twirled around him added onto his devil-like aura.

James was chewing his gum leisurely, complimenting Thomas’ improvement in aura silently. Creating a deafening momentum before actually coming into contact could suppress the opponent’s exertion of power.

Du Peng stared coldly at Thomas: “Have you heard of the Seven Stars Immortal Thunder Bone Wrecking Fist?”

Without waiting for Thomas to reply, Du Peng’s true energy rapidly spread throughout his body. His feet were like the huge battle horses of the ancient battlefield, stepping on the ground with full force that caused a visible circular spread of energy on the ground. Before the gravel managed to leave the ground, his body had already split the air and rushed right in front of Thomas.

Six-star level!?

As the thought had just crossed Thomas’ mind, Du Peng’s fist had already transformed into a black shadow and slammed into his body, making the sound of an air-filled tire bursting.

“Oh…no…” James frustratingly raised his hand to cover his eyes. He could hear the sound of fists hitting the tire.

The quick and continuous sounds had come and gone quickly.

In a flash, the continuous rapid beating stopped at a final loud bang.

Thomas fell backward with a distance of about ten meters, and his feet that slid on the ground made a visible mark on the path he had traveled.

He stared blankly at Du Peng, who had a cold expression. The shock on his face gradually turned into a smile, then eventually into a sly laugh. “This is your so-called Seven Stars Immortal Thunder Bone Wrecking Fist? Hahaha…apparently even a six-star martial artist’s strength of attack couldn’t break my five-star peak Steel War Body! Hahaha…the beating earlier wasn’t even enough to cause an itch. Sick man of East Asia indeed! Are you done? So, it should be my turn now.”

“Moron.”

Du Peng didn’t even bother looking at him. He coldly dropped a note and left the battle ring while Thomas, James, Kyokushin Genichi and other martial artists watched with curiosity.

Kyokushin Genichi looked, confused, at Zha Can. Zha Can shook his head profusely. This battle technique that was only able to push someone ten meters back yet not cause any damage would probably be useful in an arena to directly push the opponent off the stage.

However, it was a completely flashy method to be used for a competition between skills.

James took off his hand that was covering his eyes and looked at his companion curiously. How could he have no injuries at all after taking that storm-like attack? Is James’s Steel War Body already able to withstand the blow of six-star martial artists?

“Moron? Soon you’ll know, who is the moron among us.”

Thomas jerked his right leg.

Crack…crack…crack…

Pa…

There was first the sound of bones breaking within Thomas’ body, followed by the sound of an extremely rapid shattering of the bones. There was a continuous sound of shattering that came from every piece of his skeleton.

Even his hard, steel-like skin began to show muscle cracks at this moment.

The next moment…

Thomas looked at his body muscles in horror. He seemed to have lost control of the muscles that usually jumped and drummed whenever he wanted.

They squirmed autonomously and began to squeeze against each other, creating an explosive split under his skin…

Pomp…

The demon-like strong man who was still standing firm the previous second had now softened into a pile of meat and fell to the ground like slime. His limbs were twitching unconsciously.

Thomas looked at Du Peng in horror. He didn’t even have the ability to speak. The bones of his jaw and cheeks were all shattered!

But, the fist just now! It did not hit his cheek. It only hit him in his chest.

Then, all the bones that were not even touched by his fists all shattered.

James looked at Du Peng as if he was a monster. What is this weird paleo martial art? It did not leave a single scar on the surface of his body, yet it caused the whole body to collapse the moment the attacked moved his body himself.

Kyokushin Genichi and Zha Can saw an extreme shock in each other’s eyes. Was Du Peng this strong in the past? Was there such a fierce punch?

Du Peng was condescending. He stared at Thomas like he was staring at a pile of rubbish on the ground. “Didn’t you want to hear the sound of bones crushing? Have you heard it now? Is it nice? I think it sounds very nice. What is your name? Forget it, I don’t want to know either. I just want to tell you that a moron like you, who couldn’t beat me, is not worthy of being my brother’s opponent. You’re not even qualified to simply mention his name. ”

“You…your brother…” James forcefully swallowed his saliva. He had a bad feeling in his heart.

“Du Zhanpeng.”
