Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 223 Can’t Disgrace the Great Saint (First Update)

It could be said that aside from Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng and his two vice-generals, Chen Xueyou and Zhang Wenshan, this Wolf Bear possessed the strongest strength!

The heart of Qin Feng started to flutter; he did not know whether he could now match the Wolf Bear. In the past, he couldn't even exchange two moves with this Wolf Bear; the opponent was in the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal while he was only in the late stage of Scattered Immortal.

The difference seemed minor, but the gap in strength was significant—his opponent could crush him completely using mana.

But now, things were different. After practicing the Heavenly Canopy Divine Water Art, Qin Feng distinctly felt that his Immortal Primordial Force had increased manifold, and his mana had significantly increased, strengthening his physique exponentially. The power radiated from his every movement was worlds apart from before; he still wasn't sure if he could defeat the Wolf Bear.

"Kid, what are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and let me stretch my muscles!"

The voice of Wolf Bear woke Qin Feng from his thoughts. The opponent had already stepped onto the Martial Arts Field, pointing at him and signaling him to come on stage for a challenge; they were so eager they couldn't wait for the draw to end to start the duel.

"Damn it! Can't worry about that now!"

Clenching his teeth, Qin Feng leapt onto the Martial Arts Field and stood over the surface of the water. Regardless of whether he could beat the Wolf Bear or not, he had to give it his all. He could lose the match but not the morale; he absolutely could not disgrace the Great Sage!

"Legion Commander of the Great Sage's Army, Qin Feng, at your service!"

The army under Sun Wukong was originally a ragtag force without a name; after Sun Wukong took over, he straightforwardly named it the Great Sage Army, symbolizing the army of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven. Announcing this title now brought with it a unique fervor.

"Legion Commander of the Water Wolf Legion, Vice-general Wolf Bear! Kid, you will despair at your bad luck!"

A broad saber appeared in Wolf Bear's hand, pointing and sneering at Qin Feng, "Come then, let me give you the upper hand!"

Qin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and a spear appeared in his hand. He was originally a swordsman, but Sun Wukong's weapon was the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod. He had also talked about staff techniques with him now and then. These staff techniques shared some similarities with spear techniques but hardly any with sword techniques.

Additionally, the Heavenly Canopy Divine Water Art wielded greater power with a spear. Thus, Qin Feng had switched to using a spear, and not just him; all the naval soldiers of the Great Sage Army had switched to spears too. If Sun Wukong wasn't worried that learning too much might distract them, he would have taught them battle formations already.

"For the Great Sage, I must give my all in this battle!"

Clenching his spear tightly, a fierce sparkle erupted in Qin Feng's eyes. He launched forward toward Wolf Bear, activating the Heavenly Canopy Divine Water Art. Streaks of vigor energy transmitted from his hands to the spear, creating whirlpools that attracted the water essence from the Heavenly River and the surrounding air, converging in rings of blue light toward the spear tip.

"Heavenly Canopy Divine Water Art, Wave Splitting Stab!"

The Heavenly Canopy Divine Water Art was different from ordinary techniques—not only was it of a higher rank, but it also contained three spear techniques: the Wave Splitting Stab, Chasing Wave Strike, and Surging Wave Slash. Qin Feng, who had practiced the Heavenly Canopy Divine Water Art for only two years so far, had only grasped the Wave Splitting Stab and Chasing Wave Strike.

As for the final attack, Surging Wave Slash, he always felt something was lacking and couldn't perform it.

With the unleashing of Wave Splitting Stab, the water waves in front of him were sharply divided by the fierce spear force, turning them into water arrows following the spear in Qin Feng's hands as he fiercely launched it toward Wolf Bear's chest.

"Huh?"

Wolf Bear's face changed abruptly; originally thinking Qin Feng's eagerness to fight in place of Sun Wukong was out of overconfidence and that he would be easy to defeat, which is why he let Qin Feng attack first. However, the force displayed by Qin Feng's attack did not seem like it was from a Scattered Immortal at all.

Before the spear even reached him, the fierce spiritual vigor had already made Wolf Bear feel as if needles were pressing against his skin, causing a painful sensation in his chest.

This strike was remarkably powerful!

Not daring to be negligent, Wolf Bear flipped the broad saber in his hand, slashing out a swath of saber light to meet Qin Feng's spear. In a rush, he could only muster 70% of his strength, hoping to first block this spear and then change tactics.

"Hmph! To think you can block my Wave Splitting Stab, you're vastly underestimating the Heavenly Canopy Divine Water Art passed down by the Great Sage!"

With a cold sneer in his heart, Qin Feng's hands twisted abruptly on the spear, causing countless spear shadows to burst forth, turning into myriad stars that circumvented Wolf Bear's saber light, stabbing fiercely toward his chest.

Concurrently, the rings of blue light on the spear also enveloped the incoming saber light, twining around and gradually tightening, blocking and then quickly scattering the saber light.

"What?"

Wolf Bear was shocked. He never expected his move to be countered so simply by Qin Feng. What was more terrifying was that the opponent's spear shadows had already reached his chest. The bone-chilling cold and sharp killing intent made him feel as if he was without armor, exposed, as if his body might be pierced with countless holes the next moment.

"Wolf Bear Body Protection!"

In this critical moment, Wolf Bear could no longer afford to hold back. Biting the tip of his tongue, he sprayed out a mouthful of Essence Blood. Immortal Primordial Force surged through his body, and the spectral image of an exotic beast, looking both like a wolf and a bear, appeared behind him. It suddenly transformed into a protective aura enfolding his front.

"Boom!"

"Puff puff puff puff!"

With a loud bang followed by a series of dull impacts, Qin Feng's spear and its numerous shadows fiercely struck the protective aura in front of the Wolf Bear. Shaken as if struck by lightning, the Wolf Bear's body violently trembled.

The next moment, it was forcefully blasted backwards into the Heavenly River, creating towering waves as it crashed into the water, plunging into the river like an arrow.

"Hiss~!"

The naval soldiers of the Heavenly River who were watching the battle couldn't help but gasp in unison, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at Qin Feng. This unknown youth, when had he mastered such powerful Cultivation Technique and Combat Techniques to send the Wolf Bear, who had activated the Wolf Bear Body Protection, crashing into the Heavenly River with a single move?

The reason why the Wolf Bear had such a nickname, which even replaced his real name, was that in his early years he had obtained the Primordial Essence Blood of an Exotic Beast—Wolf Bear—and refined it within his body. At critical moments, he could activate the Wolf Bear Body Protection, significantly enhancing his strength, speed, and defensive power.

Normally, as long as the Wolf Bear activated this body protection, there were few of the same rank who could injure him with one strike. Before this, in the entire Heavenly River Navy, only Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng could overpower the Wolf Bear in this state, not even his two vice-generals Chen Xueyou and Zhang Wenshan could match him.

Yet now, even though the Wolf Bear had activated the Wolf Bear Body Protection, it couldn't withstand Qin Feng's spear shadows. It's worth noting that Qin Feng had first shattered the Wolf Bear's blade light before hitting the body protection light shield!

"Well done, Commander!"

"Mighty Commander!"

Different from the shock of the other naval soldiers, the soldiers of the Great Saint Legion were all excitedly shouting. They too knew the Wave Splitting Stab move, recorded in the Water Control True Art, but their execution was far less skillful than Qin Feng's, and the power was much weaker. As for stronger moves like Chasing Wave Strike and Surging Wave Slash, they hadn't yet grasped them.

"Marshal, something's off with that kid Qin Feng! When did he become so strong?"

High upon the command platform, Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng and the others were visibly startled. Vice-general Chen Xueyou rubbed his eyes, unable to believe the shocking scene before him, and couldn't help swallowing before hoarsely speaking to Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng.

"Do you think I wouldn't notice?"

Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng spat out irritably, gritting his teeth, "Damn it, it must be that damned Sun Wukong teaching him those moves. Otherwise, where would such powerful Cultivation Technique and Moves come from in the Heavenly River Navy?"

Zhu Tianpeng suddenly felt a surge of envy and resentment. His Heavenly Canopy Divine Water Art could be considered the most powerful Cultivation Technique in the entire Heavenly River Navy, but the Cultivation Technique and Moves displayed by Qin Feng now were not weaker than his Heavenly Canopy Divine Water Art—perhaps even slightly stronger!

He was the commander of one hundred thousand soldiers of the Heavenly River Navy. How could he be inferior to a mere Taiyi Scattered Immortal Commander?

"Marshal, the Wolf Bear won't just be defeated like this, will he?"

Vice-general Zhang Wenshan spoke uncertainly. Read exclusive adventures at novelbuddy

"Defeated? You're underestimating the Wolf Bear too much! If he were so easily defeated, he wouldn't be worthy of being the First Legion Commander of my Heavenly River Navy!"

Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Tianpeng's eyes flashed with a cold light, "Just wait and watch, the best part is yet to come!"

"This kid Qin Feng has quite the comprehension!"

Sun Wukong, in the form of a tiny insect, was hiding in the crevice of Qin Feng's shoulder armor, observing the entire exchange between Qin Feng and the Wolf Bear clearly. With his Void-Breaking Divine Eye, no one understood better than Wukong the lethality of Qin Feng's strike—it was definitely enough to give the Wolf Bear a hard time!

However, to say that such a strike could take down the Wolf Bear was impossible. The exotic beast phantom that emerged at the last moment on the Wolf Bear created a protective light shield with quite good defensive power. Qin Feng's Wave Splitting Stab at most caused some minor injuries, and those were not serious. There was still more fighting to come!

Wukong saw clearly, the Wolf Bear's Cultivation Strength was above Qin Feng's. If they truly fought with all their might, Qin Feng might not have the upper hand. Just now, it was only because the Wolf Bear underestimated Qin Feng, launching a hasty and weak attack, and also underestimated Qin Feng's sudden increase in strength, which led him to suffer such a huge setback from their first clash!

That guy should be bursting out from the riverbed any moment!

Indeed, just as Wukong had this thought, the surface of the Heavenly River suddenly churned violently. The water waves that had just started to calm down surged up once again, and the Wolf Bear charged out of the water with a ferocious momentum.
