Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 1064: Chapter 1063: The Scale Armor on Huang Jinkuang

Another person who wants to engage in a physical battle with Ye Tianchen, Huang Jinkuang is not the first to want to rely on sheer physical power to fight against Ye Tianchen, and Ye Tianchen has truly never lost in such brutal physical combat.

In the past, Ye Tianchen placed great emphasis on physical training. In the eyes of many martial artists, once they reach a certain level of divine skill, as long as their divine thought remains, even if their body is utterly broken, they can still find ways to remold it. As long as the strength of their martial arts realm, divine thought, and combat power is sufficient, it will be enough. However, Ye Tianchen does not think so. In his view, the stronger a martial artist’s cultivation becomes, and the more advanced their realm, the more they require a powerful body. The body is the vessel that holds battle power, the carrier of martial arts true qi, divine thought, and cultivation realm. It is conceivable that if the vessel is not strong enough, how could it bear a deeper cultivation realm? How could it unleash the most powerful force of martial arts divine skills?

The powerful heritage of the Yijin Jing is a profound cultivation treasure, hailed as the first cultivation immortal scripture in the martial arts world through the ages. After obtaining the Yijin Jing cultivation skill, the deeper Ye Tianchen researched and comprehended it, the more unfathomable he found this cultivation treasure book. It was too mysterious and profound. He has only grasped a tenth of its essence so far, and this was already after he invested a lot of effort and time. The further he goes, the more challenging it becomes. More importantly, Ye Tianchen discovered that the cultivation treasure book of Yijin Jing aligns well with his unconventional views on the importance of the physical body. In the martial arts true qi cultivation Chapter of the Yijin Jing, it records that besides the continuous tempering of a martial artist’s martial arts true qi, the forging of the cultivator’s physical body is also crucial. So, unknowingly, Ye Tianchen’s physical body has already reached a substantial stage. Just how formidable it truly is, even he isn’t entirely sure. To test his own strength and that of strong adversaries, only by engaging in a fierce battle can it be revealed.

Actually, Ye Tianchen wasn’t surprised at all when faced with Huang Jinkuang wanting to challenge him with physical strength. This is because some people in the martial arts world still focus on tempering their bodies. Of course, very few specialize in forging their physical bodies like him. Moreover, many choose to fight with their physical bodies, and they are people with strong fighting spirits, often somewhat arrogant and opinionated. Physical combat is the most primal form of combat among the living beings of the world. Before the existence of cultivation methods and martial arts divine skills, duels between creatures relied solely on physical combat. Physical combat brings a greater vicious aura, giving people immense pleasure. If we compare using martial arts divine skills to shock kill a strong enemy to physically tearing a strong enemy to shreds, the latter is evidently more exhilarating.

Huang Jinkuang is indeed a very confident person. Even though he fell short in his treasure duel with Ye Tianchen and was technically defeated, he didn’t admit defeat. He was still confident, believing that given his cultivation realm, it’s not difficult to shock kill Ye Tianchen. Moreover, his body is among the strongest in the Jin family, far surpassing the physical strength of his nine brothers.

”Do you dare to physically spar with me?” Huang Jinkuang deliberately asked.

”Save the chatter, a duel between us will reveal all!” Ye Tianchen replied calmly.

”Fine, if you’re looking for death, I’ll oblige!” Huang Jinkuang said as he swiftly took off his upper garments, shocking the surrounding martial artists, even leaving Ye Tianchen slightly stunned.

What they saw was that there wasn’t a hint of human skin left on Huang Jinkuang’s upper body; it was all replaced by a kind of golden scale armor. This scale armor looked somewhat shocking, densely covering Huang Jinkuang’s whole body. From his neck down, whether it’s the chest, sides, or arms, all were enveloped in this golden scale armor, exuding waves of mysterious and formidable power. That sense of power was quite palpable and intimidating. No wonder Huang Jinkuang was utterly confident in his physical body; it seems it wasn’t just idle boasting.

”This is... such a powerful sense of strength, surely Huang Jinkuang’s physique has undergone some mutation!”

”Why do I sense an ancient primitiveness, as if Huang Jinkuang bears a primordial beast on his body? If he strikes, it will surely be earth-shattering; I have that feeling.”

”The Jin family is rumored to have ancient lineage, but some say this incredibly dominant family emerged during ancient times. It should be noted that humans only appeared in this world during the late ancient era. Back then, humans were weak, and the ancestors hadn’t devised cultivation methods and martial arts divine skills yet. However, the Jin family already existed and continued till now, inheriting from a time when humans lived in utter misery and without dignity. How astonishing is this?”

”The golden scale armor on Huang Jinkuang’s body is certainly not ordinary. It seems he has ample confidence to kill Ye Tianchen, which has its foundation.”

After revealing his upper body, Huang Jinkuang coldly looked at Ye Tianchen and said with a condescending gaze, ”Do you know why I am called Huang Jinkuang?”

”It doesn’t matter even if you’re called Huang Jin Dog!” Ye Tianchen remained indifferent.

”You... I won’t haggle with you. I’ll just make you wish you were dead. To be honest, in our Jin family, those who can include the character ’Kuang’ in their names number less than five over generations. The fact that I, Huang Jinkuang, can be one of them seals your fate, Ye Tianchen.” Huang Jinkuang said, full of arrogance.

”Seals my fate? Huang Jin Strange Cloud also said something like that, but...” Ye Tianchen shook his head.

”Hmph, don’t mention that waste’s name to me. He’s dead, leaving a disgrace on our Jin family. Today, I will punch you to death, beat you until you kneel and beg, until you’re nothing but a puddle of sludge.” Huang Jinkuang shouted loudly.

”Too much nonsense, which only shows your insufficient strength. You lack absolute confidence in your own body and are still fearful deep inside.” Ye Tianchen calmly looked at Huang Jinkuang.

Whoosh!

A beam of golden light shot towards Ye Tianchen. Huang Jinkuang was enraged, having not gained the slightest advantage over Ye Tianchen, neither in the duel earlier nor with words. He couldn’t anger Ye Tianchen into making a move, thereby exposing a flaw. Ye Tianchen was not as easy to deal with as Huang Jinkuang imagined. This struck a massive blow to Huang Jinkuang, igniting his anger.

Whoosh!

Ye Tianchen also disappeared from his original spot, transforming into a beam of light, charging towards Huang Jinkuang. This time, Ye Tianchen didn’t use any martial arts true qi or employ martial arts divine skills but rushed towards Huang Jinkuang solely relying on his physical body.

Bang!

A dull sound resonated, the earth quaked, and Ye Tianchen and Huang Jinkuang’s shoulders collided. Even such a simple collision caused an earthquake-like tremor, which was truly terrifying. The physical power of these two individuals was exceedingly formidable.

”This... such formidable physical power, rarely seen in the world!”

”What’s more, in Earth’s three ancient martial worlds, how many could achieve this level of physical power collision?”

”Huang Jinkuang is indeed impressive, his physical body is robust to such a degree. If Ye Tianchen wishes to suppress Huang Jinkuang with sheer physical strength as before, he may be unable to and even risks being killed...”

”How so? Both had a physical clash without either retreating a step, neither injured, seemingly evenly matched. Ye Tianchen’s physical power isn’t weak; how could you say Ye Tianchen is at a disadvantage?”

”Continue watching, and you’ll see. Look...”

At this moment, after both Ye Tianchen and Huang Jinkuang collided with shoulders, neither used martial arts true qi within their Dantian, nor unleashed any powerful martial arts divine skills. Instead, they engaged in the primal fight using pure physical strength. Both charged at each other with neither yielding an inch. But when Ye Tianchen frowned, Huang Jinkuang smirked maliciously and said, ”Indeed, your physical strength is impressive, but you’re no match for me...”

Ye Tianchen was startled, inwardly exclaiming something bad, as it was already too late. Each gold scale on Huang Jinkuang’s body shimmered with an enigmatic power, and it was incredibly eerie and unmistakable. With no time to react, all the beams exploded simultaneously, crashing towards Ye Tianchen.

Boom!

An explosion reverberated, dispersing clouds within a ten-mile radius. Everything seemed to vanish without a trace. Huang Jinkuang, after revealing his upper body, looked at Ye Tianchen coldly with a condescending gaze and said, ”Do you know why I took the name ’Huang Jinkuang’?”

”It doesn’t matter if you named yourself Golden Dog as far as I’m concerned!” Ye Tianchen still remarked coolly.

”You... I won’t argue with you. I’ll make you wish you were dead. To tell you the truth, in our Jin family, only less than five individuals of each generation can bear the name ’Kuang’. The fact that I, Huang Jinkuang, am one of them determines that you, Ye Tianchen, will meet your doom.” Huang Jinkuang boasted arrogantly.

”Predicted my doom, Golden Strange Cloud said the same thing, but unfortunately...” Ye Tianchen shook his head and said.

”Hmph, don’t mention that waste’s name to me. He’s dead, and that’s that, but he’s brought disgrace upon our Jin family. Today, I’ll punch you to death, punch you until you beg for mercy, until you are nothing but a pile of sludge.” Huang Jinkuang shouted vehemently.

”Don’t talk so much, all it does is show that you’re lacking in strength and don’t have absolute confidence in your own body, deep down you’re still scared.” Ye Tianchen looked calmly at Huang Jinkuang and said.

Ye Tianchen was taken aback, thinking to himself that this wasn’t good, but it was already too late. Each golden scale on Huang Jinkuang’s body was glowing, emitting a mysterious and eerie power that could be distinctly felt. No wonder Huang Jinkuang had absolute confidence in his body. It seemed that it wasn’t just empty bragging.

”This is... such a powerful sense of force, surely Huang Jinkuang’s body has undergone some kind of mutation!”

”Why do I sense an ancient primordial aura? It’s as if Huang Jinkuang is embedded with a primordial beast; if he strikes, it will undoubtedly be earth-shattering. I have that feeling.”

”The Jin family is rumored to have been passed down from ancient times, but some say that this incredibly powerful family appeared even during the late periods of ancient times when the Human Clan had just emerged in this world. At that time, the Human Clan was weak and had not devised cultivation methods or martial arts divine skills. Yet, the Jin family had already appeared and has been passed down until now, from an era when humans lived in severe hardship and without any dignity. How amazing is that?”

”The golden scale armor on Huang Jinkuang’s body is undoubtedly not simple, and it seems like Huang Jinkuang is confident enough to kill Ye Tianchen, and he has some basis for it.”

Huang Jinkuang, after revealing his upper body, looked at Ye Tianchen coldly, with a condescending gaze, and said, ”Do you know why I named myself Huang Jinkuang?”

”Even if your name was Golden Dog, it wouldn’t matter to me!” Ye Tianchen said calmly.

”You... I won’t argue with you. I’ll only make you wish you were dead. To be frank, in our Jin family, only less than five individuals per generation can have ’Kuang’ in their names. The fact that I, Huang Jinkuang, am one of them means your days are numbered, Ye Tianchen.” Huang Jinkuang said with great arrogance.

”Predicted my final days, Golden Strange Cloud said the same, it’s just a pity...” Ye Tianchen shook his head and said.

”Hmph, don’t mention that waste’s name to me. He’s dead, and that’s that. He brought shame to the Jin family. Today, I’m going to punch you to death, punch you until you kneel and beg for mercy, until you’re nothing but a pile of sludge.” Huang Jinkuang shouted loudly.

”Too much nonsense, you only reveal your lack of strength and your lack of complete faith in your own body, deep down you’re still afraid.” Ye Tianchen calmly looked at Huang Jinkuang and said.

Ye Tianchen hesitated for a moment when he frowned, and at that moment, a hint of a derisive smile appeared at the corner of Huang Jinkuang’s mouth as he said, ”Your physical strength is vast, but not strong enough to match mine...”

Ye Tianchen was stunned, and in his heart, he realized something was wrong, but it was already too late. Every golden scale on Huang Jinkuang’s body emitted a mysterious power that could be clearly felt. It was highly unsettling. No wonder Huang Jinkuang was entirely confident in his raw physical strength; it seemed it wasn’t just idle boasting.

There was a huge explosion in the sky, scattering clouds for miles, leaving everything seemingly obliterated. Huang Jinkuang coldly stared at Ye Tianchen after exposing his upper body, looking down at him with a despising look and said: ”Do you know why I took the name Huang Jinkuang?”

Ye Tianchen remained calm and replied, ”Even if you named yourself Golden Dog, it doesn’t matter to me!”

”You... I’m not going to argue with you. I’ll just make you wish you were dead. Honestly, in our Jin family, only five people throughout the generations have been able to add the character ’Kuang’ to their names. The fact that I, Huang Jinkuang, am one of them seals your fate, Ye Tianchen,” Huang Jinkuang boasted arrogantly.

”Destined for my demise, Golden Strange Cloud also said such things. Unfortunately...” Ye Tianchen shook his head and said.

”Hmph, don’t mention that waste’s name to me. He’s dead, and that’s that. He disgraced my Jin family. Today, I will beat you to death with punch after punch, beat you until you beg for mercy, until you’re nothing but a pile of sludge.” Huang Jinkuang yelled fiercely.

”You’re just revealing your lack of strength. Deep down, you’re still scared and don’t have absolute confidence in your own body,” Ye Tianchen looked at Huang Jinkuang calmly and said.

Ye Tianchen was startled, internally exclaiming ’not good’, but it was too late. Every golden scale on Huang Jinkuang’s body emitted enormous power, contained within the scales during his body tempering. During his great battle with enemies, as long as he makes a move, these powers contained within the scales would explode all at once, pummeling towards Ye Tianchen.

Boom! The sky exploded, scattering the clouds as if nothing ever existed there. Huang Jinkuang, after revealing his upper body, looked coldly at Ye Tianchen with a condescending demeanor and spoke, ”Do you know why I named myself Huang Jinkuang?”

”Whether you name yourself Golden Dog or not has nothing to do with me!” Ye Tianchen remained indifferent.

”You... I won’t stoop to argue with you. I’ll make you wish you were dead. To be honest, in our Jin family, only five people in each generation include the character ’Kuang’ in their names. The fact that I, Huang Jinkuang, am one of them, seals your fate, Ye Tianchen,” Huang Jinkuang said, full of pride.

”Seals my fate? Golden Strange Cloud said the same, but it’s a pity...” Ye Tianchen shook his head and said.

”Hmph, don’t speak of that waste. He’s dead, and that’s that. He disgraced our Jin family. Today, I will beat you to death, punch by punch, until you plead for mercy, just a pile of mud.” Huang Jinkuang shouted fiercely.

”You’re blabbering too much, which only highlights your lack of strength and your lack of absolute confidence in your own body. Deep down, you’re still afraid.” Ye Tianchen looked calmly at Huang Jinkuang and said.

Ye Tianchen paused, a bad feeling suddenly well up inside him, but it was too late. Every golden scale on Huang Jinkuang’s body was suddenly exuding an enormous power. It was so intense that it was eerie. No wonder Huang Jinkuang had absolute confidence in his physical body; it seemed he wasn’t just boasting.

Boom! A force exploded in the sky, scattering clouds in all directions within ten miles. Everything seemed to have vanished utterly. Huang Jinkuang looked on with a savage grin, staring at Ye Tianchen from a distance. While Ye Tianchen wasn’t dead, his right hand was already bleeding profusely, his face stern as he gazed at Huang Jinkuang. Ye Tianchen indeed hadn’t expected such a powerful force to be hidden within the golden scales of Huang Jinkuang’s body. It seems Huang Jinkuang was well-prepared, or he slowly infused that energy into his scales during his tempering. If it weren’t for Ye Tianchen having cultivated the Divine Movement Skill to a level of small success, he might have been blasted to pieces by the many exploded scale energies! (To be continued.
