Chapter 183: Aura master
Chapter 183

[Strength: 169]

[Agility: 157]

[Stamina: 199]

[Aura: 211]

[Four-star aura master]

Wei Jun just stared at his opponent who also stared back at him but neither of them made any move.

When Wei Jun read those stats, he was a little worried but then asked system for the advice.

[There is a great chance you will live]

‘How so?’ Wei Jun asked.

[Putting aside the fact that aura is inferior to Qi]

[Just the fact that they operate similarly but differently at the same time contributes the most to your chances]

‘Again, how so?’ Wei Jun once again asked.

[You can win against aura if you just have high physical stats]

[For example, no matter how high your defense stat is, it isn’t very effective against Qi]

[Because Qi penetrates your body and damages you from the inside]

[However, aura doesn’t do internal damage]

[It only remains on the outside]

[So as long as you have a good number in your defense stat]

[You don’t have to worry about the aura]

[But the fact that he is strong in terms of stats cannot be ignored as well]

[You may have an edge in terms of defense, but that doesn’t matter if you cannot get a hit in]

‘How high would his defense stat be?’ I asked.

[Considerably high]

[Because the main focus of aura isn’t on offense but on defense]

[You remember the green-haired guy, right?]

[His body was buff as well]

[All aura masters are buff]

[They focus on defense after all]

[So they can protect their mages while they cast offensive spells]

[Oh, and just so you’re thinking]

[Guns would be useless against his defense]

‘Great.’ Wei Jun said inwardly before he finally stood up and made his way to the bald man some distance away.

“How are you doing?” Wei Jun asked in English.

The bald man looked at Wei Jun and said, “I’m doing amazing. Now that there are no hindrances.” He spoke in pure Chinese and his accent didn’t give way as well.

[That’s because he is Chinese]

Wei Jun made a strange face and asked, ‘But didn’t you say he had aura?’

[Cosmic powers are set on different continents]

[Mana on the western continent and Qi on the eastern continent]

[That’s why the people born there also have a high chance of having that power]

[And when they birth children, they also inherit that same power]

[However, rarely, very, very rarely, people are born with different powers from the continent]

[He must have been born with aura but since there was no mana here, he would have moved to the western continent to train in aura]

Wei Jun nodded as it somewhat made sense. It wasn’t set in stone that people born on a continent would have the same power. They could just as easily have some mutation that caused them to have some new trait.

Wei Jun decided not to focus on the deep information anymore and focused on the opponent in front of him who was staring at him strangely. Wei Jun suddenly stopped talking but there were subtle changes in his expression, of course, the man was a little confused.

“Just some self-thought.” Wei Jun said, understanding the thoughts of his opponent, and added, “After all, I have never faced an aura user before.”

The expression of the bald man froze as he heard that. He looked at Wei Jun, at just an arm’s length, his aura permeating from him, threatening to put some pressure on Wei Jun.

Wei Jun also began to emit some of his Qi using Qi discharge and a bright smile on his face. He had an upper hand in that conversation, after all, so it made sense he was so smug.

The bald man, on the other hand, chuckled soon. Where his chuckle should have confused Wei Jun, Wei Jun smiled even more and said, “What? You think I’m too weak of an opponent?”

“Yes, you are.” The bald man said before he raised his fist and brought it down, his movements slow but precise. His movements weren’t fast because he knew Wei Jun wouldn’t move out of the way. It was just a check on each other’s power, after all.

Wei Jun activated the [Qi empowerment], his open palm raised to meet the fist of the bald man.

As soon as both of them struck.

Boom!

A shockwave and tremor passed throughout the area, even reaching some of the guards. The warden who was watching all that also couldn’t help but feel something off about that.

The scene was hidden from the eyes of the audience because of the dust cloud but it soon settled down and both of the contestants appeared in their visions.

The bald man seemingly had no injuries but his expression wasn’t happy at all. Wei Jun, on the other hand, had ruptured his arm, and blood flowed out of it. However, instead of a pained expression, there was nothing but a smile on that face.

“How did you…” The bald man couldn’t finish his sentence when Wei Jun delivered an attack of his own, his fist charged with a staggering amount of 15 Qi, the most he could discharge at once.

Voommm!!!

An even stronger shockwave than before shook the entire area. The guards didn’t only just feel it this time but they were somewhat struck away.

The warden was the same. He had never felt such a pure Qi before, not to mention the one doing so was just in the Qi empowerment realm.

Once again, the dust settled and both of the contestants appeared in view. The bald man’s expression was worse this time around but Wei Jun was smiling even more.

The spectators couldn’t understand why Wei Jun was smiling even though the hand he had used to hit the bald man was also bleeding from the outside.

But that was entirely the matter.

[HP 5153]

Wei Jun was barely injured both of the time. The second time, the damage was so less that it wasn’t even counted. It was like the attacks were just leaving surface wounds, not going any deeper than that. Not to mention he wasn’t even using [Qi armament] yet, the defensive move of the cultivators.

“What are you?!” The bald man yelled before he brought out more of his green-colored aura and hit Wei Jun. Wei Jun couldn’t dodge some of the hits but he could dodge most of them.

Those that he couldn’t were doing nothing to him. His HP was barely going down even though some lesions appeared on his skin but they were surface wounds, with no deep injury involved.

Wei Jun’s smile more and more increased seeing that the power consumption between both of them was different. The man had more of his unique power but he was equally using it more.

Whereas Wei Jun was just using some of his Qi at the expense of the [Qi empowerment] skill.

However, he wasn’t all smiles. There were some worrying factors in his equation as well. Just the fact that he struck the man with fifteen points of Qi yet at most it did was hurt him a little, was a very worrying fact.

According to the system, the aura, unlike Qi, seeped into the skin, transforming it. In other words, even if the bald man were to run out of aura to attack, his defense wouldn’t drop.

‘But, that’s what the science is for.’ Wei Jun smiled and dodged another flurry of strikes while delivering some of his own.

His strikes did nothing, not barely anything but nothing at all. Whereas the damage from the bald man was pilling up. He was too fast for Wei Jun to dodge completely and his technique, although not as good as Wei Jun’s, was still good in its own sense, allowing him to deliver some hits to Wei Jun who was expertly dodging most of his attacks.

Wei Jun stepped back to create some distance between himself and the bald man but the bald man clapped his hand with a great amount of aura and the power that emitted from them, pushed Wei Jun away while also destroying a good part of the prison behind him.

Wei Jun, a little disoriented from that hit stood up and jumped to the side just before the bald man’s fist dug in that same spot.

Just because the damage was less didn’t mean that there was none at all.

[HP 1153]

As much as Wei Jun would have liked to deplete his HP to the closest point to receive maximum benefit from the health pill, he couldn’t take the risk.

The bald man could just as well be hiding some kind of an attack that could deliver a great dent in his HP, killing him on the spot.

And since he wasn’t the type to take risks…

[You have consumed a health pill]

[You cannot consume another pill for the next ten minutes]

Just as he heard that Wei Jun felt his body freeze. It was out of fear or anything else. It was because he literally couldn’t move his body.

[Host he’s using a spell talisman!]

[Use your Qi and move!]

Wei Jun didn’t waste a second and activated the [qi armament], freeing himself from that restriction and moving to the side.

Alas, he was too late and his right side was caught up in the massive attack from the bald man.

“Aura discharge!!!!!!”
