A Failure's hopeful Journey

The bright golden glow from the collision of the knife slash and the heavenly lightning strike made the people squint their eyes. Only then did a loud explosive boom sound, causing a big dust cloud to rise from the ground and block the surroundings. 

BOOM

The shockwave made the people take a few steps back. Even though they were spectating from a kilometer away, they still had to move back. You Zhichi turned pale, she did not expect the explosion to be so strong. Yuki and the rest were the same. The girls clenched their fists. You Zhichi asked, "Gena, what do you see?" 

Gena was not affected by the dust, she still said, "Big sister, he is fine. Other than a few steps of retreat, he is not hurt. Though his knife seems to be covered in heavenly lightning. The spirit of the knife seems to be tempering itself." 

The two people let go of the breath they held. 

...

You Xi Wang had let go of the knife in his hand when the lightning struck down. Initially, he did not want to give up the knife but the spirit of the weapon had turned sentient after the collision. Only his sword and spear had evoked a higher level of spirit. He let go of the knife and the weapon floated in the void.

He could sense that the weapon spirit will only evolve if he successfully survived the heavenly tribulation. If something was to happen to him the weapon spirits will enter a dormant state until they encounter someone almost similar to You Xi Wang. 

The first bolt had just fallen a second one came down. There were two streaks this time. The system said, "Damn, bruh what level of horror have we provoked this time?" 

You Xi Wang sighed and said, "How would I know? Did I not just cast a body of with spirit energy?" 

The system said, "Fuck, not spirit energy. It was holy spirit energy. Damn it." 

You Xi Wang gulped and said, "So, in all likeliness. We are dead?" 

The system said, "Until you pull off that claw of destruction on the final nine streak bolt." 

You Xi Wang said, "That is pretty impossible you know. I can only slash one time. Nine streaks will not be dissolved." 

The system said, "Hmm, take down as much as you can and I will try to ask your weapons to play the bridge. The lightning will fall on them but you will have to use it quickly or the weapons will be scrapped." 

You Xi Wang said, "I will not be the master of this. They must give consent. Spirits are living beings." 

The system said, "First deal with the incoming one, the rest is to be checked later." 

You Xi Wang grabbed his dagger and slashed twice. The strong slashing intent again struck the two strikes of the lightning falling over him. The heavenly lightning all dissolved and wrapped around the dagger. 

This time the impact was stronger by two folds. You Xi Wang did not just take a few steps back, but he almost flew off by ten meters before he could control his body momentum. Maya also flew away from the impact. She spoke to You Xi Wang through the spirit communication, "Brother Xi Wang, this thing is exceeding our limits of tolerance." 

You Xi Wang sighed as he stood back up on his feet and he said, "Yes, this is getting troublesome. How about I fly up to face this thing head-on?" 

Maya said, "Feasible."

The reason the wolf suggested this was because the impact of the lightning also accumulated a lot as it fell. It was already affecting the surrounding landscape. You Xi Wang said, "Inform the others to get back. Even if I deal with it in the sky. I am not sure what the outcome will be." 

That said, he made a grasping gesture to his brawler gloves and rushed up to the sky. The system yelled, "This is red flags. Are you planning to fight this thing with bare hands? You have gone nuts. Oh, lords bless him with wisdom. You wish to die directly?" 

The boy said, "Shut up. I am not a fool. I care for my life more than you." 

As he was arguing, his consciousness was locked at the three lightning snakes falling towards them at fast speed. It could be said that this streak of lightning should have been traveling at the speed of light, but the boy was also moving very fast so the things around him became slow. 

As soon as the first streak came to strike at him the boy shouted, "War God Brawl." 

The intent to punch the skies into rubble broke off from him and he waved his fists. The momentum was so strong that the surrounding wind pressure changed. 

...

Gena on the side was shocked when she saw the changes in the surroundings. She said, "He has become too strong now." 

You Zhichi asked, "What do you mean?" 

Gena said, "The intent to punch had made the land below him rise into a small cliff. It is as if his fists had sucked the land with them." 

As You Xi Wang unleashed his fists, the land below him turned into an obscure canyon. A lot of cliffs had already formed below and a lot more were forming at a visible rate. They were now standing two kilometers away from the epicenter yet they could sense the rumbling waves echoed from the collisions. 

The punches fell down on the lightning strike and diminished some of the incoming impact. You Xi Wang did not even know how many punches he had shot before he was shunned away and with a sonic boom, he fell on the ground, forming a crater in the middle of the canyon that has just formed. 

The skies were still rumbling, but fortunately You Xi Wang got through the third obstacle. His body was tingling with the lightning coursing through him. The brawling gloves came off his hands on their own and floated to a corner in the void to temper themselves with the leftover lightning in them.

The guy asked, "Where are we? Who I am?" 

The system replied, "We are in toilet and you are poopy stick."
