A Failure's hopeful Journey

Chapter 140: Nine-Folds Dragon Palm.



Chapter 140: Nine-Folds Dragon Palm.

Everyone trained their gaze on the screen. They wanted to see what capability You Xi Wang had to boast in such a manner. The formation started and the stone puppet started the attack. It was the first stone puppet. You Xi Wang had already squeezed everything from this puppet. He did not want to waste any more time. He put his left foot forward, lowered his center of gravity. His torso slightly facing left. He balled up his fisted, and he closed his eyes. 

The stone puppet moved fast. The crowd outside still thought that You Xi Wang was still mystifying the scene. They all spoke in whispers. Not daring to speak out loud. They were afraid that Hercules might fly off the handle and gift him a couple of fractures. Although medical facilities can cure fractures in a matter of seconds. The sensation caused by broken bones is still painful. No one in their right mind would like to go through it. 

They all focused on the screen again. The sight in front of them made them drop their jaws and take a step back in fright. You Xi Wang stood with his eyes open and his aura turned wild like a tiger. He threw his fist to meet the stone puppet. 

BANG!

A loud sound echoed through the gym. The stone puppet was blasted back by three meters before it came to a stop. The people outside were shocked. Neo had his eyes fixed on the screen and asked, "Big sister Zhichi, what technique is this?"

You Zhichi smiled and said, "That is our family technique, Wild Tiger Fist. He has been trying to learn that for a long time. He was only successful only a few days ago."

Neo nodded and said with a wry smile, "Why is he such a monster?"

Yuki kicked him in the butt and threatened him, "Do you want me to beat you blue, Neo? Don't scold my Xi Wang."

Neo could only look at Allan, who turned his head away. Neo said, "Big Bro Allan, you are a traitor."

Allan smiled and said, "I can't offend my sister Yu for you, boy. Traitor I am." the four people acted normal and their behavior deepened their shock. They just discovered that lack of strength limited their view.

...

Inside the formation, You Xi Wang exhaled and the wild aura dissipated. He took back his stance and waited for the second puppet to come. The second stone puppet was quick to react. It was on to You Xi Wang in a blink of an eye. You Xi Wang was ready to intercept the attack. He stood there with his back straight like a spear. The stone puppet threw his palms at You Xi Wang. The boy countered with the palm attacks of his own. 

BANG! BANG!

The loud sounds reverberated throughout the gym. The people outside were all bound to the scene. A stone puppet and a human exchanging hits in succession. Their momentum piled up the stone puppet broke increased the pace of his attacks. The stone palms carried a majesty. You Xi Wang vaguely heard some dragon roars. He closed his eyes and his breath turned very shallow. His aura changed again. He enforced his shoulder, back, arms, hips, and legs with five elemental spirit energy. 

He launched his own palm. The people outside heard a dragon roar. They were all shocked, and this time the people in the 'shocked me to death list' had five more names. You Zhichi, Yuki, Neo, Allan, and Snow.

These five people did not expect You Xi Wang to grasp this in one attempt. They all exchanged glances, feeling how stupid they were. They again focused on the inside of the array formation. The battle was still going on. You Xi Wang exchanged palms with the stone puppet. He was thinking to himself, 'The secret of this move hides in the majesty's manifestation of a dragon. I do not know how a dragon's majesty seems to be. How could I produce a higher intensity?'

You Xi Wang kept thinking as he countered the attacks. Suddenly his eyes shone with a spark of joy and he smiled. On the screen outside, his smile was noticed by them all. This smile set off a wave of murmurs inside.

"What is he so happy about?" a student spoke out loud.

Another boy replied to him, "I don't have an idea. Someone, ask his teammates."

A girl mustered up some courage and shouted, 'Senior sister Zhichi, what is junior brother Xi Wang is so happy about?"

You Zhichi gave her a wry smile and said, "This boy is about to shatter our world views."

Everyone was surprised. They wanted to continue asking when the change in aura was sensed by them. They all focused on the battle again You Xi Wang did not explode with accumulated aura to counter the stone puppet. He used Taichi to diffuse the stone puppet's move. To parry it. He kept on accumulating momentum and the battle continued. This whole process was repeated nine times. The aura explosion from the puppet was also getting stronger with every cycle. You Xi Wang was ready before the stone puppet could explode he emitted the aura he had accumulated. 

ROAR!

A loud dragon roar sounded throughout the academy. Everyone present on the premises was alarmed. The principal and the deans of the halls all gathered at the gym, the source of the roar. They all exchanged glances and nodded. They entered the gym and were surprised when they saw all the students standing there with a shocked face. They followed their gazes and found that inside the array You Xi Wang stood with his palm extended outwards. 

A vague outline of a golden dragon was formed behind him in the air, and it was this dragon that caused the commotion. They heard a voice speak, "Ninefold Dragon Palm."

The dragon flew forward, colliding head-on with the stone puppet. As the two entities collided, a golden glow erupted. Everyone closed their eyes, even the higher-ups of the school. When the glow dissipated, they opened their eyes to see that the stone puppet was ten meters away from You Xi Wang and two clear grooves could be seen on the ground. It was evident that You Xi Wang won this confrontation. He also figured out the hidden technique in the array. 

He did not want to face the third stone puppet and came out of the array under everyone's stunned gazes. He came and sat down next to his sister. He said, "Momentum accumulation." and with these two words, he closed his eyes and went back to comprehend the gains of this battle. 

You Zhichi looked at her brother and saw that his arms and back were a bit swollen from the impact of the aura blasts. Yet he kept on fighting without giving up. She nodded and tussled his hair a little. She stood up and said to the people of the team, "You all are aware now, let's get it done and go home." 

Everyone nodded and said in a loud voice, "Yes, Vice-captain."

Hercules took the first turn and after a hard battle, he almost won. The team kept on fighting and after three attempts You Zhichi won, followed by Snow. Yuki, Neo, and Allan could also win. They did not comprehend the secret of accumulating momentum like You Xi Wang, but integrated it into their own skills. This was the most suitable way. Adonis was watching from the side, and he was thrilled with the growth of the team. Takeshi had left in the middle. 

The principal and the deans also expressed their satisfaction with a smile and left. The whole team could complete the task a few minutes before the school was finished for the day. When they came out of the gym, they saw the students who mocked them earlier did not leave but they stood together blocking their way. Hercules was following behind You Xi Wang like a henchman. He was about to run inside the crowd and tear them up when he recalled what You Xi Wang said earlier. 

A female student came forward from the group and bow to the team. It was a proper 90-degree bow. She said in a loud voice, "Junior brother You Xi Wang, I apologize for mocking you and the team. You guys are training so hard to win glory for us while we are still trying to find flaws in you. We apologize to you."

Behind her, the whole group of students also bowed down. They all spoke in unison, "We apologize to the team."

You Xi Wang asked them to stand up and said, "It's not a big deal. You guys stand up. Don't forget to come and cheer up for us in the battle fest. Although I guess the survival round could not be watched." he then put on a sheepish laugh and scratched the back of his head. His handsome, goofy appearance made a lot of female hearts flutter. Their thoughts of approach were mercilessly slaughtered by Yuki who came forward and took You Xi Wang's hand as if declaring her territory. 

You Xi Wang turned a blind eye to the female fans and led his team to the principal office to receive the order, allowing them to go out for training.
