VBOOM!!

Liu Kang and the flaming tiger beast clashed wildly as the wind blasted at their faces..

Liu Kang exchanged punches with claws of the tiger and moved 4 steps backward while the tiger moved 2 steps back..

“Again!”

Liu Kang chuckled as he stepped forward to the flaming beast..

The flaming tiger got angry, wondering how such a kid could have such power..

Liu Kang fist was glowing with lighting as he took a deep breath and punched forward while the tiger roared with anger as flames ignited in his body…

Both flames and lighting crashed together as the tiger was blasted on the mountain while Liu Kang took a step back as his clothes were burnt down showing his bare chest with firm muscles..

Liu Kang was shocked by such power flowing through his veins, the flames didn't hurt him, it gave him a kind of feeling that he couldn't describe…

The lighting bead is really an heavy defying existence as it swallowed the flames that were on his body and his injury slowly..

His lips curved up slowly with a cryptic smile as he looked at the flaming beast..

The flaming tiger looked at Liu Kang as he was looking at a monster..

Its anger turned to fear as the flames in his body went back into his body as an injury appeared on its body with lightning flowing through it making the tiger look pathetic…

It looked around and slowly moved backwards and turned around and ran away. It knew that this young youth gave it such a dangerous feeling..

“trying to run away, hahaha!”

Liu Kang laughed coldly

“Not under my watch”

He took a deep breath and brought out all his power and ran after the tiger with his fist directly on the skull of the tiger beast..

The tiger was angry at what the human was trying to do..

It got angry and made an angry roar and jumped to bite Liu Kang..

Liu Kang only smiled with a mocking look and channeled more energy from the lighting bead and blasted the skull of the tiger..

The flaming tiger’s skull shattered under Liu Kang’s fist.

A surge of lightning exploded outward, scorching the ground as the massive body crashed lifelessly onto the earth.

Liu Kang stood there, chest beating wildly, faint arcs of lightning still dancing across his skin.

“That was exhilarating!”

Liu Kang smiled slowly as he walked towards the corpse of the tiger..

He didn't bring out any weapon with him, he left home with urgency, no food or any resources..

He knew such action was dangerous but the feeling of getting strong was much deeper than anything he has ever felt..

He bent down and studied the dead tiger and noticed it was a very huge tiger. He bent down and punched the abdomen of the tiger and inserted his hands deeper and removed a hot red flaming core..

“So this is a beast core, it looks small but the power in it seems huge”

Liu Kang examined the beast core with interest…

“I wonder if this beast core can push my cultivation to the peak of Body Tempering Realm”

Liu Kang smiled sheeplessly, he knew he should make haste with his cultivation, he just made a breakthrough to the 8th stage, he needed to get use to his power and fighting could be used to temper himself..

He put the beast core and used his burnt cloth to wrap the core and looked at the tiger carefully..

“At least this meat could help me with my body once cooked”

Liu Kang mummured..

“Oh! So a flaming beast died here”

A surprised voice came behind Liu Kang that made him jump and turned back immediately..

Three youths stood at his presence with a flame and sword logo on his cloth as they looked arrogantly Liu Kang..

Liu Kang knows the three of them are from a strong sect and the middle youth gave him a very dangerous feeling.

Qi gathering Realm cultivator!

“2 peak Body Tempering Realm and 1 Qi gathering Realm cultivator”

Liu Kang mummured slowly with a solemn look..

“Oh, now you are sensible, drop the beast core and cripple your cultivation and scram out of here” the leader spoke arrogantly with a condensing look..

Liu Kang took a deep breath, he knew such a line was very strong but did he fear them..

The answer is NO!

“What is cultivation?”

Liu Kang slowly lifted his head out with a calm voice.

The three youths frowned slightly.

Liu Kang clenched his fist, faint lightning flickering across his knuckles.

“Cultivation… is to defy.”

“To fight the heavens, to fight fate, to fight those stronger than you…”

His gaze turned cold.

“And you want me to cripple myself… and hand over what I fought for?”

He let out a soft laugh..

“Who gave you that confidence?”

The air turned still.

The two peak body Tempering Realm cultivator was shocked..

The leader looked at Liu Kang with amusement..

“You have guts, I will give you that”

The leader stepped forward slowly..

“So you think just because you killed a flaming tiger gives you the guts to think you are something special”

The leader laughed coldly..

The a heavy pressure descended slowly

Qi gathering Realm pressure

“In this world strength rules supreme”

Liu Kang felt a slight strain on his body but he wasn't afraid, the lightning bead slowly revolved and the pressure was reduced a little as he few steps backward…

“Interesting!”

The leader spoke with a slight surprise..

Liu Kang took a deep breath and clinched his fist hard..

So this is the next realm..

At least with this pressure I can try see how heavy defying the lighting bead really is..

“Now, last chance. Drop the beast core and cripple your cultivation or I will do it for you” the leader spoke coldly..

Liu Kang lifted his head and looked deeper into the leader eyes..

The leader is a young youth the same age with Liu Kang..

“You want it, come and get it!”

Liu Kang stepped his foot on the ground and moved faster with his fist with lightning as he punched one of the body Tempering Realm cultivator..

The two youth expression changed..

“Watch out!”

Before he could understand what is happening, the lighting fist blasted him to death and Liu Kang turned and faced the second body Tempering cultivator…

Before Liu Kang could take action, the leader recovered slowly and appeared at the front of Liu Kang with a flaming fist and punched in on his chest..

Sounds of broken bones as Liu Kang flew back and hit his back on the trees as it snapped slowly..

The leader eyes narrowed slightly as anger took over him..

“So you were hiding your strength”

He spoke with rage..

Liu Kang stood up from the ground as he staggered and tried to gain his balance..

“So this is the gap between realms”

Liu Kang mummured to himself

The second body cultivator snapped coldly and ran over to Liu Kang with anger..

“Give me your life!”

“No, don't…”

Before the leader could finish, Liu Kang hands glowed with lighting and blasted the body cultivator to ashes..

“You not even as strong as the flaming tiger I just killed.. what gaves you the right”

Liu Kang spoke with disgust..

He finally have a solemn look as the faced the leader..

“So is now me and you, no disturbance.. let me see what makes you think you could cripple me”

Before the leader could say anything, Liu Kang took the initiative to lunch his attack with lighting fist…

The leader looked at Liu Kang before he took out his sword from his back and flashed with it as he ran to meet Liu Kang…

Liu Kang got a very dangerous feeling from that strike, his dantian glowed faster as the lighting bead pulsed with more energy, he knew this is the last energy he has him and he poured his cultivation on that punched….

Before the sword could get to him, Liu Kang ducked slowly and punched the leader dantian, as it snapped

PUFF!!

The impact landed cleanly..

Everywhere went silent but what Liu Kang was expecting didn't happen…

The leader slowly looked down at Liu Kang and smiled but Liu Kang noticed something behind him, a very dangerous feeling..

Liu Kang pupils shrank..

Before he could turn, a burning feeling stabbed his back..

PUFF!!!

The flaming sword stabbed his back and the leader appeared at his front with a cold smile..

“You to slow, you fell for it”

The leader laughed coldly..

Liu Kang trembled as blood flowed from his mouth..

“You not that impressive but I can give you the credit for making me bring out my flaming sword… now you can die in peace”

Before the leader could make a killing blow.

The lighting bead revolved faster as lighting gathered in the air…

“Huh?”

    “Don't be so arrogant brat!” A resounding voice echoed in the arena as a burly youth descendedThe 6th Peak ranked, the peak master of the Starfall Peak, a mountain of a man named Meng Xiong. Unlike the agile spear-wielding disciple or the phantom-using assassin, Meng Xiong was a pure physical cultivator. His skin possessed a dull, metallic sheen, a testament to his mastery over the Earth-attributed called the Indestructible Vajra Body.He cultivates astral and celestial arts but he was of the earth attribute as their defense was always the strongest among all the ranked Genius present.Liu Kang smiled coldly as his lightning bead began to revolve as it was blazing like it wanted more energy.He knew the more he fights, the more he gets familiar with the lightning bead and the more energy he could control.His fate is in his hands, no matter who comes, as long as he draws his sword, someone must fall!That was his motto since he began to cultivate.

    Nobody could believe what was really going on today!The female genius stared at Liu Kang, her face pale. The heroic aura around her deflated, replaced by a bitter sense of helplessness. "I... I concede.""First match, Liu Kang wins!" the Presiding Elder’s voice boomed across the square, a glint of profound interest flashing in his eyes. "Next entrant, step forward!"Liu Kang did not lower his sword. He closed his eyes for a brief second, feeling the feedback from the battle. The lightning bead in his dantian pulsed faintly, absorbing the residual energy. It wasn't enough. The pressure from the 8th rank was too weak to force his breakthrough.He opened his eyes, staring directly at the remaining top geniuses on the platform."Next," Liu Kang uttered a single word, his voice carrying the faint, rumbling resonance of thunder.High up on the platform, Gu Feng’s grip on his own sword tightened until his knuckles turned white. The killing intent in his heart grew heavier. Liu Kang wasn't j
