Ultragene Warlord

easily able to break the ice and even the frozen ground nearby.
I grew so strong that even the herdleader had to be careful when sparring with me. ”

In other words, this was the tale of how a wuxia fanatic grew to become a wuxia protagonist himself…

Somehow, the golden mammoth, who had been so enraptured by wuxia legends that he began to train following those methods, had succeeded in his objective.
Only his physique and racial constitution had allowed him to accomplish such a feat.

”[Light ’s Bulwark: Dragon ’s Teeth]! ” Finding that his punch was useless, Li Feng charged up for a stronger attack.
Concentrated light-attuned genetic energy surrounded him, producing sword energy so sharp the blizzard was pushed back in a hemisphere around him.

”[Light ’s Bulwark: Meteoric Fist]! ” An arclight dragon appeared behind Li Feng.
He punched forward, and the dragon shot toward the golden mammoth like a bullet from a sniper rifle.
The light dragon left behind a starry trail, breathtakingly beautiful.
The dragon clashed against the mammoth ’s sword in yet another explosion, one which tore apart the frozen ground.

The valley shook as though there were an earthquake.
The walls to the valley began to crack, but neither Li Feng nor the mammoth were about to relent.
The ground fell from their feet as the aftershock of the clash spread and reverberated around the valley.
Huge boulders fell from the walls, smashing down by their heads.

The boulders were each the size of small mountains, but any which were about to strike the two combatants were obliterated by the aftershocks from the clash.
As even more boulders began to fall and a landslide occurred, however, both Li Feng and the golden mammoth were forced to retreat.
The two combatants clashed until they reached the mouth of the valley.

”[Birth of the Holy Dragon]! ” Li Feng leapt high into the air and landed on the dragon ’s head, his sword gleaming brightly as though it had been dipped in liquid light.
As he raised the sword to the skies, it glowed and expanded, morphing into a huge blade of light.

The blade parted the clouds and lit up the entire frozen tundra.
At that very moment, Li Feng looked like a god descending from the heavens.
The light dragon shot out toward the golden mammoth, who again defended with a precise swing, one honed from years of training and refined to such perfection that Li Feng was unable to break through the mammoth ’s defense simply.

It would take more than what Li Feng had demonstrated for him to break through the mammoth ’s immaculate defense.

As Li Feng ’s dragon swooped toward the mammoth, so too did Li Feng himself charge forward.
He overtook the dragon as the golden mammoth sliced the dragon apart, but Li Feng was too fast, his actions too sudden, for the mammoth to defend against his strike as well. 

Li Feng ’s shining sword of light cut a long slash from the mammoth ’s shoulder all the way to his chest, leaving a scorching wound that caused the mammoth to wince in pain.
His long years of training had saved his life; his muscles were thick and corded enough to prevent the injury from being too serious.

Li Feng slashed at the mammoth again—but the mammoth trumpeted in outrage and sent his blade crashing against Li Feng ’s own.
The heavy blade smashed apart Li Feng ’s sword of light, sending a flurry of snowflakes into the air.

Suddenly, the golden mammoth stopped.
”What ’s your sword called? ”

Li Feng countered, ”Is it important? ”

The golden mammoth nodded.
”The blade is your companion, your sibling and brother-in-arms, an extension of your very arm. ”

Li Feng scratched his head and sighed.
”It derived from the soulshard of a peak-grade arclight dragon, and I obtained it in the second realm.
Does that satisfy you? ”

The golden mammoth nodded, then struck again with all the might of a frozen glacier.
