Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao

Chapter 201  Energy Compression Art

After defeating his third opponent, Arthur appears in a hall.

"Is this where I will face my fourth opponent?" He asked out loud but no one answered.

As he was about to speak again, he heard a voice.

"You have passed the third round, here is your reward!"

*Swoosh!*

A bamboo slip flew towards him and he grabbed it and information was imprinted in his mind.

'Energy Compression Art?'

It turns out that it was a secret technique, one that compresses the Cultivator's essence energy and makes it more powerful than ordinary essence energy.

'But I don't need this,' Arthur thought as he kept it in his spatial ring.

The secret technique was a Heaven Ranked Technique but Arthur didn't need it as it wouldn't be able to compress his essence energy at all!

"Do you want to continue?" Asked that same voice.

"Yes."

"Alright."

Arthur's vision blurred slightly as he appeared in a battle ring but unlike the previous one, he was not in the arena where the others were.

Around him were other battle rings which were empty, revealing that he was the first to arrive at this level.

As Arthur observed the environment, while contemplating on the prophecy his previous opponent spoke of, his next opponent appeared.

*Swoosh!*

This one was a girl will light blue hair and somewhat gray eyes. Her gaze was as cold as can be and she didn't even bother saying 'Hi' before launching an attack.

"Blizzard Storm!"

Arthur was suddenly assaulted with blizzards that covered the entire stage.

But he was unprepared.

*Boom!*

The attack ended and dust flew everywhere and Arthur's figure was revealed behind a golden shield he had erected using runic arrays.

Arthur had to admit that the Array Techniques of Suo Hao's clan were the best.

They had an attribute that made it easy to deploy and extremely hard to break by outside forces.

'Speaking of which, I need to visit him after this,' Arthur thought.

Meanwhile, while Arthur was slightly thinking, his opponent frowned for a second and summoned her martial spirit.

"Spirit Snow King!"

An Ice-type Martial Spirit appeared behind her and her aura skyrocketed!

She then placed both palms together and the entire stage turned into a block of ice in an instant and the cold was getting stronger.

*Crack!*

"Hmm, she managed to breach this shield?" Arthur raised an eyebrow.

This shield of his can block a full-powered attack of a peak Martial King Realm Cultivator genius.

'Should I release my Martial Spirit?' Arthur thought.

'Nah, that would be overkill.'

'But seriously, I need a not too overpowered martial spirit else whenever I release my Martial Spirit it would look like I'm showing off...'

'Although I don't mind but, still,' Arthur continued to ignore his opponent as this finally caused a reaction from the cold-looking girl.

"Ice-cold Zero!"

"Huh!" Arthur was alerted immediately as he sensed some danger.

The atmosphere had changed and he could sense the power of Ice Concept!

'But it feels a bit different from the normal Ice Concept,' he noticed.

*Bang!* n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Arthur's shield completely shattered and he immediately released his essence energy around him.

But noticed that it was draining his energy fast just to maintain that covering.

He wasn't worried though. He had a lot where that came from.

'I guess it's time to move,' Arthur brought out the sword again.

*Shing!*

A sword cry rang out as the entire arena began to tremble.

'Oh, let me reduce the intensity.'

The trembling power reduced to just around the stage and his opponent began to feel the hit.

"What sort of sword technique is that?" She finally asked Arthur.

"This sword technique? It's just a normal sword attack."

*Slash!*

*Boom!*

The entire stage was destroyed and dust filled the place as even his opponent was extinguished completely.

'yawn...'

"Don't you have anyone stronger, Guardian?" Arthur asked.

"Tch! Arrogant fellow, your disdain won't last for long, hmph!" The guardian who was watching from a hidden place clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction.

But then, "He is strong, indeed. Just like he said, he is the strongest of this batch and all the previous ones combined."

"Could there be anyone more powerful than him?" The guardian frowned.

"Do I have to bend my head in the end to beg him to take the inheritance?"

The guardian had heard what Arthur said to his faction members.

At that time he thought nothing of it and saw Arthur as just a frog at the bottom of the well, but...

Right now Arthur had broken every record that was ever set since this secret realm was discovered.

"Fine, what does it matter this face of mine? I'm already a dead person with only this remnant spirit all that is left of me."

"The Sect owns my life anyway, and I must not fail my ancestors, argh!"

"Master knew of my temper but he still asked me to be the one to handle this. What if I can't give in at the end?"

'Whatever, since he wants powerful opponents then I won't hold back anymore!' he screamed in his mind losing his sagely temperament.

'As long no one knows, it's fine. Now show me what you got, genius!'

.....

*Tak!* *Tak!* *Tak!*

The stage magically repaired itself and even strengthened.

'Hmm, I think he heard me. What do you think, Aixen?'

'He did hear you, Master.'

'That's good then.'

*Swoosh!*

The next opponent swiftly appeared and then he looked around.

"I was finally allowed to fight! Finally!" He rejoiced.

Arthur at the side had a weird look on his face.

Because this new guy honestly looks a bit too 'perculiar'.

He stood barefoot, wore only trousers which were torn after his knees.

His height was more than two meters tall, his biceps were bigger than Arthur's head by a large margin and as he laughed, Arthur noticed another thing.

'Where is his front teeth?' he wondered.

"Hey pretty boy!"

Arthur raised his eyebrow on the way he was addressed, but he didn't respond and just kept silent

"You're my opponent right?!"

"No."

"What?!" The big guy became confused.
