644, A Different Regret of the Arrogant Dragon [First Update]_1

Little beggar?

Emperor Xueye hadn't immediately realized Hong Qigong was referring to him when called out in such a way.

"Other than him, I fear no one else could accomplish it."

Emperor Xueye was quite adept at adding luster to Lin Yi, as the main goal at the moment was to exert pressure on Hong Qigong.

"The Nine-fingered Beggar God has now become the Eight-fingered Beggar God, but in a little while, you may not turn into the Seven-fingered Beggar God but rather a One-legged Beggar God."

Lin Yi's indifferent voice came from the front, causing Hong Qigong's expression to instantly become grave.

If this were before, facing a green child boasting, he would have definitely stepped forward to teach the kid a lesson or two.

But now he suddenly didn't dare, driven by an instinctual fear.

Maybe it was the gradual realization that this wasn't his world, maybe it was the sudden disappearance of his finger, or maybe it was the threatening aura emanating from Lin Yi... in any case, Hong Qigong felt that for the first time in his life, he was facing an insurmountable problem.

No, he couldn't even comprehend his current predicament with his usual understanding.

Hong Qigong gradually became afraid, and slowly turned to look at Lin Yi: "If I teach him, can I go back? What I want is to go back immediately."

Lin Yi's demeanor remained calm: "Your wish is granted."

"Okay... Then can my finger come back?"

Hong Qigong tentatively asked.

Lin Yi: "No, that is the punishment for your hesitation, so... do you want to keep hesitating?"

Hearing Lin Yi say this, Hong Qigong instantly panicked even more: "Alright, alright, I'll demonstrate now!"

No matter who it is, once placed under a life-and-death crisis, they would do anything to grasp even a sliver of hope for survival.

Hong Qigong threw his Dog Beating Staff towards the side, and with a "bang!" the jade staff immediately plunged into the platform, cracking it.

He proceeded to demonstrate the Dragon Subduing Palms from the first to the eighteenth move quickly and accurately. After the demonstration, he stamped his foot on the ground, and the staff flew into mid-air, where he caught it in his hand.

In the time that followed, Hong Qigong gave a complete demonstration of the Dog Beating Staff Technique again.

Emperor Xueye watched very attentively, he didn't need to use his brain to comprehend; after all, having merged with the reward, according to the settings, he would automatically understand once he finished watching.

And no matter how the others watched and tried to understand, they could not learn even a bit.

After finishing the Dog Beating Staff Technique, Hong Qigong stood in place, panting heavily, almost as if his old bones would fall apart at that moment.

At his age, it was the first time he demonstrated his skills so swiftly, and this memory would definitely become a bona fide nightmare for him in the future.

"Have you learned, Little Beggar?"

Hong Qigong looked at Emperor Xueye; even though the whole event went beyond his comprehension, he still subconsciously asked this question.

Emperor Xueye didn't respond immediately, but under Hong Qigong's shocked gaze, he demonstrated the first, second and then the third moves of the Dragon Subduing Palms...

"Good, good, I know you've learned it, no need to prove it anymore!"

Hong Qigong hastily waved his hands and said.

Inside however, he was astoundingly shocked. Learn by watching once?! Was it this little beggar's talent or was it because of that seated guy?

Bi Bidong, however, couldn't help but mutter to himself, "I also know the Regret of the Arrogant Dragon, but it deals fixed damage of 400,000, I wonder if that's considered high or low..."

"Your Majesty, would you like me to find a more sturdy staff for you?"

Gu Rong asked at this moment.

Hearing this address, Hong Qigong immediately turned his shocked gaze back to Emperor Xueye.

What... what?!

Your Majesty?!

This little beggar is not a beggar, but the emperor?!

What the hell is this, how can such an outrageous thing happen? The emperor disguised as a beggar?

Hong Qigong was shocked, which was even more surprising than seeing his ninth finger disappear.

Emperor Xueye did not ask Gu Rong to find a new stick but used the old broken staff to display the Dog Beating Staff Technique. Hong Qigong no longer felt like watching; it was even more proficient than his own style after ten years of practice.

It was truly baffling.

Hong Qigong tentatively asked, "So can I leave now?"

His tone was filled with urgency, as if this place was not an alien world but Hell itself, and Hong Qigong was more than willing to treat everything that happened here as a dream, hoping to wake up with his finger restored.

Lin Yi: "Once he has fully learned these two abilities of yours, you can leave, and it seems you can leave now."

Hearing Lin Yi say this, Hong Qigong instantly breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, a whirlpool appeared in mid-air, generating a tremendous suction force that lifted Hong Qigong's body into the air.

Seeing this, Emperor Xueye stepped forward and shouted, "Farewell, Master!"

These four words almost made Hong Qigong spurt out a mouthful of blood mid-air.

For today's second attack, Emperor Xueye planned to use the combination of the fifth soul skill and the Martial Soul True Body.

But before the attack, he hesitated for a moment. Having just learned the Dragon Subduing Palms, shouldn't he utilize them to test the damage for the second attack?

Emperor Xueye also remembered that Bi Bidong's Regret of the Arrogant Dragon possessed a damage of four hundred thousand, but the Regret of the Arrogant Dragon was just the first of the eighteen palms.

So...

Since he was going to use the Dragon Subduing Palms sooner or later, might as well test the damage now.

Having decided, Emperor Xueye dismissed the idea of releasing his Martial Soul.

Just use the first form of the Dragon Subduing Palms then, and since he was disguised as a beggar, he currently had an extra sixty percent damage bonus, which should be secure enough.

"Senior Lin Yi, I am starting the attack now."

"Hmm."

Seeing Emperor Xueye ready to use the Dragon Subduing Palms, Bi Bidong was immediately drawn to pay attention.

The young beggar stood on the stage, Emperor Xueye closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and pressed his palms downward. Then lifting them, he circulated his energy, kicked his legs, lunged with his elbows, his movements creating forceful sounds of qi.

A golden dragon's phantom wrapped around his body, moving swiftly. The dragon's head looked fierce, with its fangs shining gold.

"Regret of the Arrogant Dragon!"

Emperor Xueye shouted.

His Regret of the Arrogant Dragon was different from Bi Bidong's from the beginning of the stance, so initially, Bi Bidong didn't know which form Emperor Xueye was about to release. Now, hearing the words Regret of the Arrogant Dragon, her eyes lit up.

She had to see what the damage would be!

As the Regret of the Arrogant Dragon hit Lin Yi, a resonant dragon's roar was heard, and the golden light shattered upon his body. The fragments of golden light were then absorbed by Lin Yi, and the next second, they surged towards Emperor Xueye.

Emperor Xueye subconsciously prepared to release Regret of the Arrogant Dragon again, but suddenly paused. He felt something being consumed within his body, unaware that this was the convergence of Inner Strength in the martial arts world.

Although a moment late, the Regret of the Arrogant Dragon was still released, countering the Damage Rebound's assault.

At this point, Bi Bidong was extremely curious about Emperor Xueye's damage.
