Crackle! Crackle! Whoosh!


    The blue lightning sparkled around him. He pressed his foot on the ground, the next moment he appeared in front of the tiger. The speed was so fast that even the tiger was caught off-guard. Mike stomped on the ground and rotates his body in air while positioning himself horizontally to the ground.


    "Lightning Storm!"


    Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Even though the tiger was caught off-guard, he still managed to cover himself with his qi. The red qi formed a giant barrier around the tiger. Mike''s legs smashed over that barrier, creating massive shockwaves. His momentum and lightning allow him to seriously damage the barrier.


    Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!


    Whoosh!


    "Super Sonic Kick!"


    Bang!


    Mike instantly retreated dozens of meters away when the barrier started cracking and pressed all of his speed force into his legs. With the immense impact, he moved towards the barrier with a powerful sidekick. His kick broke the barrier into pieces.


    His foot strode straight towards the tiger and smacked him to the face. The moment his kick smashed on his face, the tiger suddenly raised his hand and caught the leg.


    "You think you can do anything you want just because you are fast?"


    Bang! Thud!


    The tiger threw him to the walls. Mike collides against it and falls to the ground. His mind was in chaos. He didn''t know how this tiger was able to catch him at his speed. But, Mike forgot something. He was moving fast doesn''t mean others can''t act that fast.


    But, Mike didn''t believe the tiger was really catching up to him. He instantly rose up to his feet and rushed towards the tiger. His hands were fully healed by the time he reached in front of the tiger. Once again, the tiger had already released his qi barrier.


    Unlike the previous time, he didn''t try to deal with any direct damage to the barrier. Instead, he decided to do things his way.


    ''Please work! Please work! Please work!''


    His hands started vibrating at a rapid speed. It was so fast that it became harder to catch it through the naked eyes. Mike kept vibrating his hands and slowly moved towards the barrier.


    ''Phase through it! Phase through it! Vibrate! Vibrate like the vibrator! I have taken many girls to heaven. How can I lose to the measly vibrator?''


    Slowly, Mike''s whole body started vibrating at a rapid speed. It became so fast that Mike''s body slowly phased through the barrier. But, he was taking a lot of time especially for someone with his speed.


    "What? How is this possible? How can you phase through the qi barrier?"


    "I guess I just had to adjust the frequency. Now that I have gotten the hang of it, I need to use it." Mike smirked and instantly disappeared in front of his eyes. The tiger tried to follow to Mike''s speed but he was simply helpless.


    Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Mike instantly appeared behind him and punched. His body once again vibrates and disappears. He continued punching the tiger from different positions and different directions. Each time he hits the tiger, he gives him a chance to locate himself.


    Without properly releasing it, Mike kept on punching the tiger. But, he was easily healing his wounds with the massive qi possessed by it.


    ''Damn! There must be a way to defeat this guy, right? He is not very powerful. He just has massive qi. He won''t run out of qi any time soon. But, I will get tired. This mode is stressing a lot for my body. I need something to think of something.''


    ''Wait! That could work or maybe not! Since this is his qi, it wouldn''t possible to absorb it. Damn! It''s time to test out my new abilities. I hope they will work him.''


    Mike released the purple energy in his hand in the cost of his stamina. The stress on his body only increased by that purple energy. Mike instantly moved near the tiger and smashed his fingers on the tiger''s body.


    The purple energy flow out of his hand and entered the tiger''s body through its wound. But, the tiger was too big. And, Mike had to move to several other ces and stick his finger inside it. He kept doing so until the tiger caught him once again.


    As soon as the tiger caught him, Mike released an intense bolt of lightning on himself. The strike separated him from the tiger. But, he got severely injured once again. Although his celestial bloodline was healing himself, he got no choice but to use the Ten Thousand Poison Spell to heal himself.


    That purple was energy was the one of deadly poison from Ten Thousand Poison Spell. And, using several effects of poison and reversing them, he can heal his injuries as well. It won''t be as effective as Celestial Bloodline.


    But, it can give celestial bloodline a recement for normal injuries. This spell is designed in a way that whenever Mike uses it, the celestial bloodline will stop its function on that particr spot and heal something else.


    But, using this spell costs stamina. And, Stamina is something that has been proven to be a thousand times more precious than chaos energy or qi or dark energy for Mike. He doesn''t want to waste it but he got no choice.


    He is already using the Ten Thousand Poison Spell, so he didn''t want to burden himself with celestial bloodline. After turning off the celestial bloodline, he healed his injuries with the spell.


    "Gah!" "Roar!"


    "Human, you shameless bastard! How dare you use poison against me?"


    Suddenly, the tiger coughed out blood from his mouth. This time, it took the damage that seemed impossible to heal. Mike didn''t move. He has used a specific poison called ''Qi Disrupting Poison''. This poison stops a person to use his qi for a certain amount of time.


    At this moment, Mike clenched his hands.


    ''Run! I can run now. He doesn''t have enough control over his qi. I can easily escape with my spacew. But, what''s stopping me? Why don''t I have a single thought to run away? Why is my heartbeat speeding up?''


    ''That same feeling. This was exactly what I felt when I fought Demon King Atharos. He was strong. He was a monster. But, I didn''t want to run away knowing that I am going to lose something. This is the same once again.''


    ''What do I have to lose? Why is my heart-stopping me from running away?''


    ''Damn! So, this is the feeling you will have you have to decide between your life and the dream. When I started this journey, I never really thought about putting my life in the line for my dream. But, now I can''t even escape.''


    ''Adventure is not always about exploring the new world. It is about exploring danger, facing it, and oveing it. There are ways to face it and ovee it. But, everyone has their own path. Some path allows them to escape. But, some do not!''


    ''My path doesn''t allow me to escape. To be the strongest, I need to defeat every single opponent I face. Whether it is a good or a demon, I need to crush every single one of them. To be the strongest, I need to defeat them. If I lose, it doesn''t matter.''


    ''But, if I run away, then I can never be the strongest. It''s not about defeating the stronger opponent. It''s about going against the odds that are not in your side. Defeat it with your spirit, defeat it with everything you got!''


    "Fighting Spirit" "ughter Spirit" "Blood Spirit" "Chaos Spirit" "Sword Spirit" "Spear Spirit" "Celestial Bloodline" "Deste Emperor Bloodline" "Golden Buddha Kong Body" "Space Law" "Lightning Law" "Fire Law"


    "Spear Path? Sword Path? Saber Path? Fist Path? I am going to use everything I''ve got."


    Five spirits ovepped each other and coats his entire body. He still hasn''t figured out a way to merge these. Even so, using six spirits at the same time boosted his strength. He also had two bloodlines running in his veins.


    The most useless Golden Buddha Kong Body was also activated hoping that it would block at least some minor injuries. Lightning and Fire condensed at his left and right hand respectively. As for Space Law, it was already in his mind.


    Finally, Godspeed Mode was still activated, giving him a significant boost in strength.


    Roar! Roarrrrrrrr!


    Suddenly, the tiger roared twice but his second roar shook the entire room. The red dots that were illuminating the room started fading away. But, at this moment, the poison on its body disappeared. The overwhelming qi surrounded his entire body.


    "Wretched Human, didn''t I tell you? I am the spirit of qi. Qi is the basis of everything. Even your poison has the qi in it. It might be different but it is still there. As long as it''s qi, nobody can defeat me. With my qi, I am invincible. I am the Eight Arms Tiger God."


    "The one who can''t be killed. The one who can''t be defeated. The one who can''t perish. I am the embodiment of Qi."


    Boom!


    Suddenly, qi condensed moved towards Mike and covered him inside a huge cage. The red qi cage was faster than Mike''s reaction time. But, it was weaker than the Qi of Martial Advent.


    Crack! Crack! Crack! Bang!


    Suddenly in the cage, a sh appeared on the right side, another sh appeared on the left side. One big hole appeared at the back. And, finally, a fist smashed through the front. The entire cage crumbled into dust as Mike came out of it.


    "Didn''t I say this previously? If I can make the god bleed, people will cease to believe in him."
