Origin Court: Accepting Disciples With A System

LEAPING UP FROM the ground, Zhao Dilao gnashed his teeth as he shot black beams with his mouth toward the opponent. The latter swiftly dodged the incoming attack as he waved his spiky tail to attack the other party.

Zhao Dilao quickly ducked his body to the ground like a frightened kid.

“Your black beams are too weak,” Long Guang commented. “Is this really the extent of your Fiend Echinemon Body?”

“Fuck you!” Zhao Dilao cursed. “How did you become so proficient in talking? Were you just pretending like a fool in front of father back then?”

“That’s none of your business, kid,” Long Guang replied with a mocking grin on his face. “Now, face my attack!”

DRAGON EMPEROR SCRIPTURE!_.

As Long Guang’s voice thundered, the ground began to tremble. It was as if the dragon emperor himself went down to settle the fight himself.

His entire body was glowing crimson red. Nonetheless, he did not appear bloodthirsty or someone wanting to kill. Instead, his body exuded the demeanor of being the highest among all creatures, the ruler of all beasts.

Zhao Dilao nearly choked as he felt the suppression of his bloodline. His own bloodline felt like a speck of dust in the wind to Long Guang. That was because he acquired his Fiend Echinemon Body only at the moment he received that ball of light back then. And not something he inherited from their race.

He did not have the complete bloodline of the Fiend Echinemon Body, unlike Long Guang who had his complete bloodline.

“Zhao Dilao,” Long Guang called out. “You have plotted against my race and almost killed me in Da Shenghou. If not for my master, I would’ve already died in your hands and absorbed my bloodline to your own. Today, let me tell you. I will let you know the suffering of a child who went through all of those things because of your despicable means.”

Every word he spoke was like a thorn in Zhao Dilao’s heart. The latter froze in place as his mind went blank for a second. That was it. It was the nature of the Echinemon Race to be despicable and hide when the enemy they encountered was stronger than them.

Now that Zhao Dilao was on his own, he had no way to run. Neither did he have any way to win. In other words, he had no other alternatives left.

“Do you want to win?” a voice rang into his head. “Do you want to win against your opponent? Do you want to avenge yourself and the others? Then, I’ll give you power.”

“What?” Zhao Dilao subconsciously looked behind him. “Who is it?!”

“What are you doing, you fool?” Long Guang asked, his eyes as though seeing through everything Zhao Dilao’s actions.

ARGGHH!

Long Guang was taken aback. The shrilling scream from Zhao Dilao was too sudden that it had thrown him into a temporary trance. He then looked over at the other party. “What the hell is happening to his body?”

Yang Lujia, who was watching by the side, also formed a frown on his face. If he was happy with Long Guang’s performance before, now he had the urge to go down and check Zhao Dilao’s body.

Zhao Dilao’s echinemon body twisted. Bones crackled; some popping of tendons and ligaments made Long Guang’s face twitch. It was horrible. Just the sight of blood coming out of his body alone could make any normal human being vomit—the way how his legs were warped in a forceful manner—the way how his eyes cried blood.

Even more so, Yang Lujia this time was truly surprised by the changes in Long Guang. He frowned even more at his second disciple’s change of attitude and character which was considered to be abrupt.

‘Is he some reincarnation of something? Did he awaken some sort of memories?’ he asked himself in bewilderment. ‘No matter, just like what I said, I’ll wait for him to tell me in the future.’

As time passed by, Zhao Dilao’s transformation became complete. His body was now fully healed, much to Long Guang’s surprise. He thought that Zhao Dilao, for once, had tried to commit suicide and die because he could not defeat his opponent.

However, the menacing aura he felt from him made his heart slightly tremble. “What has happened to him?” Long Guang wondered.

Zhao Dilao’s body changes were too obvious. He had become as big as Long Guang was with the same bodily attributes and form. On the other hand, he was glowing silver this time, his fur the source of this glimmering and blinding light. His eyes had also become firmer as if he had grasped the last strand of hope.

“You seemed to have quite an evolution yourself, but do you think you can now defeat me with that? Wishful thinking!”

ROAR!

However, Zhao Dilao seemed to be unperturbed as he faced the deafening roar of Long Guang. Instead, he roared back as his fur turned into sharp spikes and flew away from his body, trying to reach out to Long Guang.

WHISTLE!

Long Guang’s pupils contracted as he tried to roar once more. But only a number of spikes stopped moving toward him. With no other way left, he dodged them as he flew to the sky.

“You’re getting good, but is this only the extent of your ability? It’s not going to be enough to defeat me,” Long Guang muttered as his body glowed crimson once more. With his eyes turning more demonic than it was before, Long Guang’s figure disappeared from sight and instantly arrived in front of his opponent.

“You’re dead.”

“No,” Zhao Dilao muttered as he also disappeared in place.

The two of their figures then flashed from place to place that if Yang Lujia wasn’t strong, he wouldn’t be able to keep up with their inhuman speed. Well, they weren’t technically human in the first place.

“Zhao Dilao has become on par with Long Guang, but Long Guang still is not using his full power, I can see that. With his brute strength alone, he could pretty much smash the other to death. However, what the hell happened to Zhao Dilao?” he mumbled, staring at their fight.
