Chapter 170: 167. Challenge
"Seems like your friend is quite busy," Quan`s voice came from behind and then Dexter turned back to him.
"And I wasn't going to let you live until we settle what you started," Quan took a stance as he dismissed his weapon, spreading his legs to give him more ground.
Dexter recognized the technique as a basic horse stance performed by martial artists in china. He frowned as he took a stance of his own and then they charged towards each other.
*BOOM!! BANG!! BAM!!*
Punches and kicks were thrown between the two. Dexter couldn't lose at his own area of specialty and he fiercely fought Quan who seemed to be quite experienced.
Dexter grabbed Quan by the head and jumped up while pulling it downwards and Quan was quick to react, using his hands to block the kick, he jumped from the ground, doing a front flip and then he landed a kick on Dexter`s shoulder.
*BANG!!*
Dexter gritted his teeth as he was actually getting beat and he shoved the leg on his shoulder before landing a heavy punch on Quan`s stomach, sending him flying into a building in the distance.
*GRRRR…!!!*
The building collapsed on top of Quan and then Dexter sighed as he turned away and went over to get Kila and Lily so that they can fulfil their reason for coming out today. The bricks moved and Quan emerged from the debris and then he noticed Dexter walking away when they haven't even settled and he chuckled and walked behind Dexter from the distance.
…
Kila was getting frustrated. She gritted her teeth as she looked at the monk boy in front of her who was surrounded with a golden aura, holding his golden staff on his shoulders and walking towards her. She was covered in a red aura and she looked at the dead bird which they killed just moments ago and then she sped towards it and climbed upon it.
All of a sudden her aura flowed into the beast on the ground and all the blood in the surroundings suddenly floated upwards and then towards her.
'There`s no way this guy is a normal person. I have additional strength and speed as a vampire,' Kila stared at Lin Bai in shock and then all the blood flew to the creature and all its cut out parts re-attached to each other, forming a creature even more hideous than the dragon look-alike which was killed before.
Lin Bai was shocked as he saw the dead creature come back to life and he was indeed amazed at the abilities possessed by Kila alone.
"What are you really?" Lin Bai asked her as he turned into a golden light, crossing fifty meters distance in less than a second.
Kila gasped as she immediately raised her hands. With that simple gesture of hers the creature immediately came to life. I that moment a screen appeared in front of her face.
[You have activated the first stage of life energy manipulation. Your stats have been copied to the creature and it`ll last for just 2 minutes.]
*RROOARRRR…!!!*
The creature roared to life as it flew upwards at a great speed and Lin Bai just smiled as he whistled.
"This has been a really fun exercise," Lin Bai said and then he jumped towards the creature who just took a turn and was coming towards him.
Life energy manipulation is one of the skills Kila obtained which was an even more powerful form of blood manipulation. It allows her to manipulate her life energy to control creatures which are weak and it was a trump since she can use it at least once a week and only for two minutes. Also, she could only use it when she wasn't in her vampire state, she`s fighting fair and square right now.
'Right now it has its own strength plus mine, let`s see if you can defeat my normal trump card.' Kila thought with a smile and then she saw Lin Bai jump towards her from over 1500 meters away and she furrowed her brows as a small cloud flew from above and caught him and then he extended his staff towards Kila and the creature dived down, dodging the staff which was thrusted towards them.
…
Dexter was amazed at Kila`s new abilities as a vampire knight and then he was surprised as Lin Bai suddenly landed on a cloud and flew towards kila.
Quan walked to beside Dexter and he was amazed with the wide range of abilities that Kila had and then he smiled as he looked at Dexter who was beside him.
"That your girlfriend? She`s quite powerful," he said as he observed Kila controlling the draconic creature and fighting Lin Bai in the skies which was a very hefty task on the mind.
"Not my girlfriend." Dexter didn`t even look at Quan as he said that.
*BAAA!!!*
A loud sound came from behind and Dexter and Quan looked back immediately to see Natasha on one knee panting. She was in front of a building which had a hole in it and from the dust on her body, it was easy to guess who was smashed through the building.
Lily emerged too wearing her golden gaunlets and she was surrounded by a golden aura which meant she wasn`t playing. Natasha then stood up and looked at Lily with a frown and two short sickles appeared in her hands and then Quan clicked his tongue and walked towards Natasha.
"No need to be so serious, she`s just a kid," Quan said with a smile as he put her hands down and then he furrowed his brows as he looked at Lily very well.
'They`re all supernaturals, we won`t be able to defeat them at this rate if we don`t use our real powers.' Quan thought and then he sighed as he turned to Dexter.
"You win this time."

[A/N: Sorry for the inconsistency of updates. There's a very important seasonal exam coming up and it's just so stressful writing and studying (hope the quality didn't decrease much). As many know I'm participating in the yearly Webnovel spirity awards contest with a book called 'Cosmic Cultivation' (please check it out by the way.)
Here's the main idea: - Going against eastern fantasy heavens.
In all the eastern fantasy books that 'I'VE READ', there's always one main thing, the protagonists reaching the Pinnacle of power in the heavens. But what if a protagonist couldn't cultivate at all?
It's a book where the main character enters the world's first full dive virtual MMO game and he entered the heavens.
He didn't have a physique, and couldn't even cultivate. Hope was lost, how can you grow stronger when you can't even cultivate in the heavens.
And then he was about to quit and couldn't log out. All of a sudden MC was transported to another place which was very dreary and terrifying, the nether realm.
As there was the heavens, there was also hell, a place which was destroyed and covered up by the heavens for going against their will. Now, the MC, as the emperor of the nether realm, goes to hell and receives his past life's (as the NPC's call it) treasures.
Bring an extraordinary person on earth who was restricted from doing a lot of things, MC decides to play the role of the devil in the game who is a villain to the heavens.
In the Heaven's there's no such thing as equality, everyone can step on each other. After being at the lowest of the lowest ranks, The MC decides to not let the weak suffer at the hands of the strong and went against the heavens.
From building his secret organization up from scratch, to gathering the seven deadly sins and other past life partners, Silas shall work his way up to the supreme heaven and dominate...
At least, that's his plan, but there would surely be obstacles, especially a genius from a particular sect who keeps hunting and searching for Silas.
Silas would not only be confronted by him but also so called past life allies and then his family.
This book is going to be my best so far, writing a villain version of traditional eastern fantasy books with a bit of urban feel in the real world.
MC's real name is Silas Morningstar, and this, is his story, the story of the man that brought the heavens to it's knees.]
