CHAPTER 136 SPEAR
While King Blarden needs some assistance in his battle, the situation between Shadow and the black centaur is different; both are too engrossed in their battle, and no one dares interfere in their fight.
The black centaur is inwardly cursing his chaos. Qi is actually not affecting his opponent; this shocked him greatly.
BAM! The two of them separate after clashing their weapons against each other; both glare with dense killing intent. Their battle is actually a tie; neither is at an advantage.
'This guy is stronger than I expected; he is experienced at fighting in close combat, and his set of movements can actually compare to my varying skills, and that instinct of his is on another level,' he thought.
Since neither of them are planning to attack each other for a couple of seconds, he decided to risk it and scans his opponent; fortunately, the black centaur is still deep in thought about his next plan of attack, not knowing that his opponent right now is helpless.

----------
'As expected, even though the centaurs are strong, they do not just rely on their racial trait to be superior; they also train in varying techniques and develop different skills to enhance their combat strength.' Shadow is both relieved and worried at the same time.
He is relieved to know that practicing techniques and developing different skills is one of the most important traits of any race in this realm. This means that humans are also capable of achieving greatness as long as they preserve it.
He is worried because this means that one of their greatest advantages in the lower realm is no longer special in this realm; if not for the assistance of the Great Emperor System, he might be feeling anxious already.
'One step at a time.' This is what he says to himself; their kingdom has been improving at an incredible speed; if they had continued on this path, they would have been destroyed by the powerful forces in this realm already.
'It seems that I need to continue to strengthen the foundation of our kingdom and at the same time find more allies to assist in our growth.' While his mind is floating away, the black centaur is watching himself closely.
Seeing that his opponent is not attacking and continues to only glare at him, his senses are telling him that his eyes are unfocused, as if they are not looking directly at him.
'This baby is in a daze! He dare humiliate me like this! ' This situation first stunned the black centaur, but after the realisation hits him, he becomes furious.
(Charge)
He quickly cuts the distance between the two of them; he is no longer thinking of holding anything back; he does not care if he becomes exhausted and unable to contribute to their plan to attack the nearby kingdom later. Right now, there is one thing on his mind.
To kill Shadow! His pride as a member of the almighty God race and as a warrior will not let him ignore the blatant disrespect towards him.
Gripping his spear tightly, he thrusts it at an incredible speed. He is also using his dark attribute to power his attack. Hundreds of spear images appear in Shadow's eyes, among them a couple of black spears made out of dark energy.
(Hundred Strike)
Shadow snaps out of his reverie, seeing the approaching spear images. He also dishes out his attack, his hand becoming black, and he then throws an incredibly fast palm strike. Over and over again, rains of spears and palms can be seen around the two.
[Copy: Blast (Hand Acceleration)] + [Copy: Clwyd (Dark Palm)]
BAM! BAM! PENG! Shadow actually feels his palm being pierced; he already had discovered that the spear being wield by his opponent is by no means simple but to think that it is capable of piercing through his thick defence.
'This spear intent of his is quite different from that of my elite soldiers; it is much fiercer and has a penetrating effect.' Shadow thought as his hands hardened, but even with this, the spears were piercing through his skin.
[Copy: Blast (Harden)]
'It is not working! Why is it not working? ' The black centaur is inwardly screaming; his eyes are now bloody red; it is filled with hate and indignation.
His proud chaos Qi is not affecting his opponent; this should have poisoned him already, but Shadow is easily taking his strikes; it is as if he is immune to the toxic effects of the feared chaos Qi.
Shadow opens his mouth, the black centaur stomps his feet, and there is some distance between the two of them.
"Human, tell me, are you capable of wielding the chaos, Qi?" Seeing that Shadow is not chasing after him, the black centaur can no longer hold himself and ask; this had been eating him alive throughout the entire duration of their battle.
"Oh? No wonder King Blarden is having a difficult time against you; it is because you wield that element, unfortunately for you, that has no effect on me; unless it is refined to a high quality or developed into its own heavenly trait, then your beloved chaos Qi is useless against me." Not bothering to hide it, Shadow spills his secret.
For him, this is not considered a precious secret; also, his opponent has already realised this; his pride just cannot accept it.
