Chapter 1335 Not So Nostalgic Sparring

Zhang Mengyao was nervous deep inside but she did not show it outside. She knew even without him warning her that the gap between them was too big right now. The sparring fight would be much different than the previous sparring fight. However, she had confidence in her talent. She just said she had a chance, but she did not have the confidence to back up her own words.

'My goal is not to win, but to hold as long as possible,' Zhang Mengyao said to herself. When she proposed the sparring fight. She had no intention to win the fight because she knew it was impossible. Back then, the best she could get from the sparring was a draw where she made Tang Shaoyang frustrated with her defense. 'I just need to do the same.'

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She then released her breath in one go and opened her eyes, "I am ready."

Tang Shaoyang took out his sword, Nightfall. Even though he was fighting against Zhang Mengyao. He had no intention of going easy on her. She hated the most when he went easy in the sparring fight.

"I am coming!"

Zhang Mengyao's body stiffened when she heard that. The first thing she did was to activate her talent. Three seconds, that was her limit when she fought against Tang Shaoyang. At least, that was the case in the past. If she fought someone at her level, she could see their movement four to five seconds in the future.

Her eyes opened wide when she saw the future. She saw her head fly off, and that caught her off guard. The moment she snapped back from her vision, the cold sword was already on her neck. She froze, locking her gaze with Tang Shaoyang.

"It's not fair for you to fight me right now," Tang Shaoyang shook his head. All his stats were at the peak of the Demi-God Rank with extra Attribute Points. Zhang Mengyao who was currently at Myth Rank could not win against him regardless of her talent, 'I can see why System rated the talent as A-Rank instead of S Rank.'

"If you want to train with me, I can restrict myself, or else the sparring fight will not benefit you in any way," He offered.

"What about three against one?"

Tang Shaoyang turned toward the familiar voice. Lu An was coming with Pride shadowing him from behind. Pride and Lu An had reached Myth Rank, and they often had sparring fights with him as well in the past.

Tang Shaoyang shook his head, "Even if three of you come at me, you can't win against me," It sounded cocky, but that was the fact. Even if a hundred Myth Rank came for him, he would kill them all, "But it's fine. I will hold back," He grinned to provoke three of them before activating Domain of Paragon Armament.

As the weapon began spawning on the ground, Zhang Mengyao leaped backward, frowning, "You promised not to use a big skill."

"It's not a big deal even though it's a domain. The domain will only provide me with endless armory, nothing else," Tang Shaoyang smiled, squinting his eyes, "There's no need to be scared unless I use my Bloodline Transformation." At the same time, two shields flew toward Tang Shaoyang's hand. His inventory did not have shields. That was the reason he activated the domain. He wanted to beat three of them with just a shield, the diamond and round shield. The same shield when he fought Malrus in the trial of God Rank. The difference was the edge of the shield was blunt instead of sharp like a blade. It was to prevent an accident.

"You told me never under—" Lu An's voice came from behind, but before he finished his words. Tang Shaoyang swung his shield to the back, at his calf level. Lu An tried to come out of his shadow, but what greeted him was the broad shield.

Lu An was hit on the face and his body came out of shadow, flying into the distance. Tang Shaoyang was not holding back with his strike. Even though it was sparring, they should feel the pain from the fight.

Meanwhile, Pride was already on the air. The Demonic Ape also made his move as soon as Lu An disappeared into the shadow. He slammed his fist down, but Tang Shaoyang merely raised his diamond-shaped shield upward.

Bang!

The two fists slammed onto the shield, yet Tang Shaoyang was standing still. The slam was completely neutralized by the shield. Tang Shaoyang then swung his right hand, a punch but with a round shield. It looked like a regular punch, and yet, it sent the five-meter ape flying backward, even further than Lu An.

At the same time, Tang Shaoyang took a light side step to the right, avoiding the lance by a hair, "You should not hesitate in your strike because Pride and Lu An created this chance for you." He smacked the lance with the shield upward, throwing Zhang Mengyao off balance. Then he finished it off with a backkick to the belly.

"Sloppy, very sloppy!" He raised his voice and looked at Lu An, "You are facing me, Lu An. I am familiar with your ambush and sneak attack, so you should know it will not work on me and yet you still choose to do it."

Then he turned toward the ape who was clutching his belly, still feeling the pain from the strike earlier, "You must stop doing that stupid move unless you are a hundred percent sure it will work. You, with your giant body in the air, you are an easy target. I still have the time to set you on fire or even blast you before you can reach, and you will not be able to do anything because you are in the air."

The last one was Zhang Mengyao, rubbing her belly in pain, "As I said, don't hesitate even if this is a sparring fight. Your hesitation might lose your chance to win a crucial battle. Even though it did not really change anything for the earlier fight. I can still dodge your strike and kick you."

"Do you guys want to try again?" Tang Shaoyang offered for another fight a wide grind. He felt like bullying them, and it was quite fun for him.

"Yes!" Lu An activated his Shadow Domain. His shadow enlarged and filled the area, catching Tang Shaoyang into the domain with no light. Then he compressed his domain, covering the smallest area where Tang Shaoyang was standing. His goal was to blind Tang Shaoyang with his shadow, and it worked if Tang Shaoyang did not have his Spirit Eyes or his Dragon Eyes.

He could still see everything from above, and his Dragon Eyes could see energy. The big lump of energy was right in his sight. He could turn off his Spirit Eyes to make it fairer, but he could not turn off his Dragon Eyes because it was his actual eyes that changed after he inherited the Dragon Bloodline.

Bump! Bump! Bump!

The worst part was that Pride made a loud noise with his steps. While his sight was limited by the shadow, he could focus more on the other senses. The steps were loud in his ears.

He turned toward Pride who had dark-violet energy. The signature color of demonic energy, and through that color he could see Pride was about to punch him. He raised his left hand and blocked the punch, then the second punch. A barrage of punches was blocked by Tang Shaoyang despite being covered by the shadow. novelenglish.net . Fɪre

Pride let out a roar, frustrated that he failed to land a single hit. He practically fought against a blinded opponent, and yet, he could not land a hit. He let out a roar, gathering the energy in his right arm, and swung it.

Bang!

Again, Tang Shaoyang blocked the swing with his shield. However, his shield shattered from blocking that strike. Pride's eyes widened in pleasant surprise, and here he thought he finally had the chance. He used the same skill and swung it once more, to the same side.

However, the shattered shield formed back on his hand. That was the effect of the domain, allowing him to have an indestructible weapon. Even if it was shattered, it would return to its original condition as long as the domain was still active.

"You have quite strong skill to destroy the shield," Tang Shaoyang was genuinely surprised that Pride could destroy the shield when many Demi-God Rank could not achieve the same feat as this ape, "But that's not enough."

Instead of blocking the incoming fist, he flipped his shield and caught the fist with his palm. He did not use any skill, covering his palm with chaos energy. Just like that, Tang Shaoyang easily stopped the punch that destroyed his shield. As he was about to send the big guy away, his Battle Sense warned him of the incoming attack. He had gotten used to his Battle Sense. When he got the feeling, he had two to four seconds.

Tang Shaoyang exploded the chaos energy in his palm, creating a massive shock wave that sent the ape flying. Then he turned around and saw four black daggers flying toward him. The dagger was made of shadows, one of Lu An's skills. He took one step to the right, easily avoiding the dagger.

As the dagger passed by him, one of the daggers turned into Lu An. He appeared with the sword, but before he could do anything, a shield greeted him. The shield hit his body and sent him away.

Tang Shaoyang of course knew one of Lu An's skills to swap position with the dagger. He predicted it and let the young guy know that it would not work on him.

At the same time, Zhang Mengyao was already behind him. He sent the same backkick, and she put his shield forward to block the kick. Despite the attribute gap between them, Zhang Mengyao managed to hold on. At the same time, her energy spiraled on her lance, and she struck forward with no hesitation, a strike that could hit someone on the same level as her.

"Nice try, but still not enough," He used [Blink] and appeared behind her. He gathered a small bulb of chaos energy in his palm and set it off.

Boom!

The explosion created a shock wave that sent her close to where Lu An and Pride were. He did all of it with shadow blinding him.
