The Atrocious Werewolf Prince

Chapter 339 One Punch

Beside Elder Song, Aily also frowned. If even Bob and Blaze had fought, the outcome of this quarter-match was already crystal clear.

She glanced at Ezra Zephyr, her lips pulling outwards as she mumbled, "It's all because of you. You created such a huge uproar in the energy reservoir, that resulted in such a huge crowd from the various peaks being drawn over to watch the cave match today. And now you lost a winning game just because of your arrogance. Once the outcome of today's match spreads, Elder Lo's faction will lose all face." Aily hated Ezra but her respect for Elder Lo was huge.

Only disciples from Alchemic Rune Peak would attend their quarter matches in the past. Therefore, the results would not spread to the other peaks. However, today's situation is different. Since there were disciples from various peaks present, it was impossible to stop the flow of information.

Under the numerous watching eyes coloured with various expressions, a smiling Kimba lifted his head, staring at the prince as he said in a friendly voice, "Brother Ezra, why don't you voluntarily pick your 1st opponent amongst us?"

After Kimba spoke, laughter erupted in the surrounding cliffs, the disciples who came down to mock Ezra Zephyr in particular, were especially loud.

Though the prince was being mocked by the crowd around him, there were hardly any traces of anger on his face. He lifted his head and looked towards the cliff where Elser Lo's faction was.

At this time, all the disciples were dejected, making the atmosphere quite depressing. Even Elder Lo was expressionless, he didn't think Ezra would go for a duel.

The prince yawned before he moved onto the stone stage. He looked at the smiling Kimba, and earnestly said, "Kimba, you must be pretty tired after spouting that much shit from your mouth. It will be better for you to rest for now. I do not wish to take advantage of you."

His words stunned not only Kimba but also made the numerous disciples on the surrounding cliffs burst out into laughter.

Beside Denise, the red-haired youth called Ajin Pardo involuntarily smirked as he said, "Is this kid so frightened that he lost his mind? Does he actually believe that with the 4th level of the Core Formation stage, he will be taking advantage of Kimba?"

Denise let out an icy chuckle, "He is just trying to entertain the crowd."

The disciples from Elder Li's faction looked at one another, finding the awkward expressions on some of their faces. Ezra's decision to throw a wisecrack at such a time was quite embarrassing...

"Tsk, he is so unsightly. Comparing him to senior Sith Wiggins is a complete insult!" Said Aily with a deep frown, clearly somewhat upset.

On the stone stage, the bewildered expression on Kimba's face only lasted for a few brief moments, before he chuckled as his eyes narrowed slightly, "Are you serious?"

The prince ignored Kimba and instead looked towards Andrew and Sliso. He casually pointed at one of them and said, "You will do."

The person he pointed to was Andrew. When Andrew saw this, he shrugged his shoulders with a smile, before he looked at Kimba and said, "Sorry senior brother. It seems like you won't be hogging all the limelight."

Kimba laughed, seemingly a little helpless as he responded, "Fine, I'll leave it to you. I will have to worry about staining my hands anyways even if I defeat such an opponent."

He was clearly under the impression that the prince had been scared silly. With a wave of his hand, he turned around and began walking away.

Andrew jumped into the air and landed in front of the prince.

"Junior brother Ezra, do you feel that I am the easiest one to deal with of the three?" Andrew wore a fake smile as he stared at the prince. The cold glint in his eyes, however, clearly indicated that he was ready to teach the latter a lesson.

Opposite him, the prince lifted his eyelids as an indifferent glance was cast at Andrew.

~CRACKLE~

In the next instance, violent black lightning danced around Ezra's body, flickering like a whip of death.

Waves of spiritual energy flooded his limbs and bones, as a terrifying force burst forth.

A fearsome spiritual energy pressure swept forth, cracking the ground beneath Ezra's feet. His figure instantly etherealized as he exploded forward, leaving an afterimage behind.

The sound sonic boom immediately followed. The attack was swift and decisive, not a single hint of hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, the prince's ethereal body appeared in front of Andrew. It was only at this moment that the latter came back to his senses, immediately bellowing as the spiritual energy within his body burst out.

"You ignorant fool, I can't believe you dared to take the initiative!" Andrew's expression was akin to a brewing storm. His spiritual energy howled as it gathered at his fist before he viciously delivered a punch.

Even though the punch was not a spiritual technique, it was packed with robust spiritual energy. Andrew believed that it would be able to push back someone like Ezra Zephyr.

~WHOOOSH~

At the same time, the prince also threw his fist forward, blowing away even the air with a rumble.

Two fists packed with powerful spiritual energy collided, neither using any fancy moves.

~BOOOM~

The dreadful clash caused the air around them to ripple as a shockwave unfurled. Cracks began to extend on the ground beneath them as wild gales swept forth.

However, the dark expression on Andrew's face changed drastically at this moment. He realised that the spiritual energy packed within spiritual energy's punch was akin to an unstoppable tsunami, containing enough force to destroy mountains!

The savage power of Ezra's attack far exceeded his own!

"Impossible!" Andrew cried out in his heart, his eyes filled with disbelief. He simply refused to believe that this prince, who was merely at the 4th level Core Formation stage, would possess spiritual energy that surpassed his own, him, an elite fifth-level Core Formation expert!

No matter how shocked he was by this discovery, Ezra's spiritual energy had already begun sweeping over him, easily crushing all of Andrew's spiritual energy in an instant.

The instant his Genesis Qi crumbled, Ezra's fist slammed heavily against his chest.

Andrew's body was sent flying, slamming into a mountain wall. His entire body was wedged into the wall, now completely drenched in blood with a hole in his chest. Nobody knew if he was even still alive, the fight between the two was over in a flash.

In fact, the roaring laughter had yet to even die down when Andrew's body was being thrown into the mountain wall.

Kimba had not even finished his stroll off the stage. However, all of the laughter stopped at this moment.

Kimba's feet froze as well. Every face in the mountain slowly turned rigid.

Under the illumination of the falling sun, their faces seemed somewhat comical.

In the middle of the stone stage, the prince slowly retracted his fists, his expression still impassive as before. He disregarded all of the stares, and looked towards the similarly frozen Sliso, as his calm voice echoed across the mountain. "Come over here, it's your turn."

The entire mountain and its surroundings were deathly silent when Ezra's calm voice echoed in the area. There was a somewhat sluggish expression on the faces of every disciple as they stared at the bloodied lifeless body of Andrew, who had been embedded in the side of a cliff. The only thing in their heads was a soft buzzing noise, clearly unable to return to their senses for a time...

Andrew… had been unable to take even a single punch from Ezra, and ended up being instantly killed?!

Numerous disciples opened and closed their mouths, but were unable to speak even a single word. No one had expected such a scene to appear.

They had previously believed the prince's brain had already been scrambled by fear, hence why he no longer dared to challenge Kimba, but instead chose a weaker opponent in hopes of surviving a little longer, and earning back a tiny bit of the face they had lost.

No one had expected the young man, whom they had all neglected, to so swiftly defeat Andrew, who was considered an elite amongst the fifth level of Core Formation in a single punch.

A disciple's hoarsely mumbled, "How can this be… how!"

A sharp cry exploded in one of the stone pavilions. One could only watch a stupefied Denise staring at the stone stage, her pretty face twisting somewhat.

She had been waiting to see Ezra's miserable figure as he was beaten to the ground, but everything had fallen apart due to his explosion of power, shocking her substantially. She was even beginning to suspect that Andrew had been bribed. If not, how could anyone possibly explain how he had been so easily defeated by a single punch? But no one will take a bribe for his own death, by that time, some people checked and confirmed that Andrew was dead.

There was a gap of the whole level between the two. How could that difference in spiritual energy possibly be filled?

Had Ezra really grown so strong in a short month? After all, even Denise herself did not have the confidence to defeat Andrew in a single punch.

Beside Denise, Ajin's narrowed slightly as he slowly said, "It seems that everyone has underestimated him.

His spiritual energy is extremely robust and strong and far surpasses an ordinary 6th level. He's not simple at all. To have such spiritual energy at the Core Formation stage, his foundations must be crazily solid."

Ajin Pardo was a diamond belt disciple after all, and thus had better insight than Denise Tubble. After the instantaneous explosion of power Ezra had displayed earlier, Ajin had managed to gauge that the latter's spiritual energy was not something a 4th-level Core Formation disciple should possess.
