CHAPTER 18 NEW IDEA

Spirit fighting arena 

Yao Tian looked at Huang Yong with a serious look on his face, after exchanging a few more moves he was already aware that Huang Yong was not as weak as he expected.

'Although he is strong he should not be my opponent.'

'I have exerted only about 70% of my full strength.'

Yao tian though.

Huang Yong was looking at Yao Tian and had no seriousness on his face,

'System 20% strength'

"COMMAND RECEIVED"

"TEN MORE SEALS REMOVED"

"NOW YOU CAN EXERT 20% OF YOUR FULL STRENGTH"

'10% of my strength should be enough to deal with 25 level sole masters'

The function Huang Yong just used through the system was a barrier he had placed on himself while standing at the back side of the arena.

FLASHBACK -

"Sir you will enter through the second gate after your name is called." 

Huang Yong nodded and stood by the side 

'System'

"YES HOST"

"I need your help."

"HOST I HAVE ALREADY TOLD YOU THAT THE DEVELOPERS WILL NOT GIVE YOU ANYTHING NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO."

"Let me finish I am not asking you for anything. What I want is, can you place a barrier on my strength."

"WHAT TYPE OF SEAL DO YOU MEAN CAN YOU PLEASE SPECIFY?"

"A seal that can restrict me from using 100% of my strength And can be removed whenever I want."

"HOST I CAN HELP YOU WITH THIS"

"WHAT YOU CAN DO IS PLACE 100 SEALS ON YOUR STRENGTH AND WHENEVER YOU COMMAND I WILL REMOVE THE SPECIFIC AMOUNT OF SEAL"

"That seems feasible but make sure that you do not restrict my spiritual senses."

"YES HOST"

"Place all the seals."

Huang Yong felt like he had lost all the strength in his body 

"ALL SEALS PLACED"

"STRENGTH SIMILAR TO AN ORDINARY 12 YEAR OLD HUMAN"

"Sir it is time for you to enter the arena."

"System 10% strength."

"COMMAND RECEIVED "

"REMOVING 10 SEALS"

FLASHBACK ENDS.....

All the moves Huang Yong had exchanged with Yao Tian were only 10% of his strength.

Huang Yong knew that 10% strength was not enough to defeat a great soul master.

"Come again"

"Fight fight"

Yao Tian used his Axe and started fighting this time exerting his full strength.

What surprised Yao Tian was that he still did not feel any advantage against Black Fist (Huang Yong) even after using all is his strength.

'Was this black fist also not showing his full strength, seems I was not the only one hiding strength'

[FIRST SOUL SKILL - CHOPPER]

Yao Tian used his first soul skill again

This time Huang Yong caught the bronze axe with one of his hands and punched in the stomach of Yao Tian with the other hand.

Baah~cough~

Yao Tian coughed a bit of blood with water but did not move from his position.

'let me see how you deal with this'

"Haaaaa"

"Chop chop chop"

Yao Tian started using random slashing without moving from his position 

Huang Yong could feel that the strength of his slashes was stronger than before.

"These slashes are at least 20% stronger than the previous blows."

'Is he using some type of power-generating method.'

Huang Yong fell into deep thought.

'Why did I not think about it, instead of creating flashy soul skills it is better for me to focus more on creating power-generating moves.'

'If I could increase the strength of my punches even by 50% they would themselves become a type of soul skill.'

'There are many different moves I can work on.'

'If I practice punch, hook, slash and all the boxing moves for enough time I should be able to create some power-generating method.'

'Using posture similar to while using the soul skill I should be able to create some basic power generating skill.'

After thinking for more than 3 minutes and passively fighting with Yao Tian, Huang Yong came back to reality and finally focused a little on the fight.

Yao Tian had noticed that Huang Yong was not paying attention to him at all during all his fights which made him much angrier than before.

"Being arrogant is one thing and not even paying attention to your opponent during a battle, don't you think you are being too much"

"Forgive me I was thinking about something important"

"Is this battle not impotent to you"

"Honestly, no"

'System 30% strength.'

Huang Yong punched in the stomach of Yao Tian again but this time Yao Tian went unconscious.

"Look like we have a victor"

"It is amazing that a new player with less soul power than Yao Tian was able to fight on par with him and defeat him in the end"

"I announce the victor of this spirit fight is the black fist."

Huang Yong walked toward the back of the arena.

"How is this possible black fist has less soul power than Axe Master how can he win so easily."

"No, I bet all my money on Axe Master."

"The spirit arena must have played some dirty game with us."

"I have heard from my uncle's friend's nephew that sometimes spirit fighting arenas do dirty games and take away all the gambling money for themselves."

"Is that a thing?"

"Yes, obviously what can you do about it, they are in power they do what they want."

Hearing the word of the crowd it was easy to understand that they did not believe that Huang Yong was strong enough to defeat Yao Tian and this match was a dirty game arranged by the spirit fighting arena to take away all their money.

Huang Yong came to the counter where he had registered before, showed his iron badge and got 100 gold soul coins which was the reward for winning this match.

"The battle spirit arena must have made a lot of money from gambling on my fight but they only paid me 100 gold coins."

"Leave it, I am not lacking money anyway."

Huang Yong returned to his hotel room and fell asleep while thinking about how to create his power-generating skill.

Next morning 

There was a knock on Huang Yong's door

After opening the door Huang Yong saw a hotel staff standing in front of him.

"Sir there are some people downstairs who are looking for you saying that they have some business to discuss."

'Was I spotted by some big shot or someone who wants to recruit me in their clan?'

'Better not be I don't want to get in unnecessary trouble.'

After coming downstairs he saw the strong man who had asked him for protection fees before, standing in the hotel lobby with a few other people.

'Is he here to cause trouble again if he is then I must give him a long memory'
