Chapter 201: Two hundred and one, body of withered wood
Swoosh!
Yun Xiao’s reaction was incredibly swift. After shattering the lion’s head with his four Meridian Qi Swords, his figure barely shifted, and within an instant, he was right before Shen Xiao.
Yun Xiao, who had his physical body tempered by Stone Heart Marrow, understood his most adept combat method. Shen Xiao appeared tall and thin; surely he couldn’t match himself in this respect.
Yet, what Yun Xiao failed to notice was the hint of a mocking glimmer in Shen Xiao’s eyes as he approached—the latter seemed to have anticipated this scene.
The display of physical strength by Yun Xiao in yesterday’s arena, even Feng Hang couldn’t suppress it, had informed many of the geniuses present, including Shen Xiao.
In fact, in Shen Xiao’s heart, his only rival worth noting had always been Feng Hang, until Yun Xiao emerged unexpectedly. Thus, Shen Xiao had thoroughly recalled Yun Xiao’s special techniques last night and had devised a counter strategy.
In Shen Xiao’s opinion, Yun Xiao’s victory over Feng Hang was just due to unexpected tricks. As long as one vigilantly guarded against these, the chances of winning would surely exceed ninety percent.
No matter how tall and thin Shen Xiao appeared, their family possessed a trace of a special Wood attribute from birth. It rendered their flesh tougher than ordinary people.
Moreover, this Wood attribute aura also gave a boost to Shen Xiao’s Meridian Refining Technique. Wood feeds fire, fire borrows the might of wood; the Meridian Fire he could wield was somewhat more formidable than that of an average Meridian Refining Master of the same level.
Shen Xiao already had an understanding of Yun Xiao’s physical strength, but he was confident in his Wood attribute’s defensive power. That brat wouldn’t be able to break through it. Once overwhelmed by Meridian Qi, victory was only a matter of time.
