“Swish! Swish!”
The martial artists standing on the Grudge Platform had their hair blown wildly by the incoming air waves, their exposed faces covered in expressions of horror.
Elder Wei’s punch was terrifying!
Even if a thick heavy boulder were placed on the platform, it could be shattered!
At that moment, they all secretly judged that the Iron Bone Sect leader, bearing such an explosive punch, would surely face more misfortune than fortune!
They even looked below the platform, searching for the corpse that should have been sent flying.
Hm?
No one?
Could it be that Sect Leader Jun wasn’t sent flying, but directly died on the platform?
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
Everyone turned their heads in unison to look at the Grudge Platform.
Indeed.
They immediately captured Jun Changxiao’s figure, but gradually their mouths fell open, their eyes flashing with disbelief.
“This…”
Li Qingyang’s expression also froze.
What did they see to display such exaggerated expressions?
They saw Jun Changxiao standing on the platform, not having moved an inch. His exposed palms, neck, and even his entire face had all turned copper-yellow, as if he were a bronze statue!
“How did his skin color change?”
“Could this be a martial technique?”
“I’ve never heard of a martial technique that changes skin color!”
This wasn’t the main point.
The main point was that Elder Wei stood in front of him, his right fist pressed against Jun Changxiao’s chest, clearly having struck accurately without error!
With force sufficient to pulverize boulders weighing several thousand catties hitting his body, why didn’t he move at all? Why did he maintain that same unconcerned smile from before?
The martial artists from various sects were stunned.
They had imagined scenes of Jun Changxiao being sent flying or blasted to death, but never imagined a scene of him taking a punch head-on and standing stable as a rock!
Wei Yinu also hadn’t expected that his furious strike condensed with rage and hitting him wouldn’t even make him retreat a single small step!
“You…”
He still maintained his striking stance, exclaiming in shock, “…What martial technique is this!”
Jun Changxiao said indifferently, “Golden Bell Shield Iron Cloth Shirt.”
“Golden Bell Shield Iron Cloth Shirt?”
“What kind of martial technique is this? Why have we never heard of it!”
“The name is a bit strange. It shouldn’t be a martial technique from our Qingyang Prefecture!”
Not only was it not from Qingyang Prefecture—the entire Xingyun Continent didn’t have this kind of martial technique, because it was a type of kung fu from Earth’s Huaxia Nation.
Could Jun Changxiao have once practiced martial arts?
He was nothing of the sort!
On Earth, he was just an ordinary person. Forget about knowing kung fu—lacking exercise year-round, running a few laps around the track would tire him out like a dog!
Then this Golden Bell Shield Iron Cloth Shirt…
“That was close, that was close!”
Jun Changxiao stood calmly, secretly rejoicing, “Fortunately I had the Endurance Talisman, otherwise even if not dead, I’d be seriously injured!”
As it turned out, when Wei Yinu struck, he had crushed the Endurance Talisman given by the Newbie Gift Pack in time.
The instant he crushed it, Jun Changxiao’s skin color changed, his muscles became hard, just like a copper wall and iron fortress!
At that time, he was also gambling—betting that if a medicine costing 1 contribution point had heaven-defying effects, the talisman from the Newbie Gift Pack definitely wouldn’t be weak!
The gamble paid off.
The Endurance Talisman was strong, super strong!
“I say.”
Jun Changxiao said indifferently, “Did you not eat? That punch came so weak and powerless?”
The Endurance Talisman’s duration was sixty minutes. Jun Changxiao wanted to use the remaining fifty-nine minutes and thirty seconds to properly show off!
“Detestable!”
Wei Yinu retreated dozens of steps in towering fury, retreating to the platform’s edge, then suddenly charged forward!
“Whoosh!”
His right fist swung out again, carrying visible air waves!
“Here it comes again!”
“Stronger than last time!”
“Sect Leader Jun isn’t moving—could he still be taking it head-on?!”
“Is he that confident!”
“Boom—”
Wei Yinu’s powerful and heavy iron fist directly struck Jun Changxiao’s abdomen, rippling weak energy waves.
The result?
Grand Sect Leader Jun still stood in place, completely motionless!
The corner of his mouth curved into a smile as he said, “Elder Wei, put some effort into it. Continuing to hit like this will only waste this seat’s time!”
“Ahhh!”
Wei Yinu was going mad.
He couldn’t be bothered to build momentum and accelerate, directly swinging his fist to strike.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
In a short time, Jun Changxiao’s chest, abdomen, and shoulders were hit several times, yet he still stood in place, the corner of his mouth carrying an unconcerned smile.
At that moment, the scene presented in the martial artists’ field of vision was of Sect Leader Jun like a wooden stake, letting Elder Wei strike him repeatedly!
Wooden stake?
That thing at least showed some reaction when heavily struck!
What about Jun Changxiao? Letting Wei Yinu continuously strike him, he remained stable as a rock throughout.
Not a wooden stake.
A copper wall and iron fortress!
“Too terrifying!”
“What an incredibly powerful defensive martial technique!”
“Golden Bell Shield Iron Cloth Shirt! If I encounter it in the future, no matter how much money it costs, I must definitely buy it!”
Everyone yearned for the martial technique Jun Changxiao casually mentioned.
Li Qingyang and Lu Qianqian breathed sighs of relief. No wonder the sect leader dared to accept the Lingquan Sect elder’s challenge—he had actually cultivated such a powerful defensive martial technique!
…
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Wei Yinu struck dozens more punches, finally stopping while gasping for breath.
This kind of unrestrained striking consumed the most spiritual power.
“What’s wrong?”
Jun Changxiao said disdainfully, “Tired from hitting?”
“De…detestable fellow…” Wei Yinu clenched his fists tightly, his eyeballs filled with bloodshot veins.
Jun Changxiao said indifferently, “Without the strength, don’t issue challenges in front of this seat. Otherwise, you’ll only make a fool of yourself in front of everyone.”
Wei Yinu’s teeth trembled with rage. Suddenly, he withdrew his fist, retreated several steps, placed one hand on his face, and let out “hahaha” laughter.
“What’s going on?”
“Could Elder Wei have been driven mad with anger?”
Everyone discussed in low voices.
Suddenly, Wei Yinu stopped laughing, his face twisted as he said, “Brat, being able to force this elder to use his trump card, even if you die, you should feel honored.”
Jun Changxiao said, “Trump card?”
“Swish!”
Wei Yinu spread his feet, slightly bent his bow stance, and drew both hands to his abdomen, assuming a posture similar to a horse stance.
“Whoosh whoosh!”
Two energy spheres mysteriously appeared, gathering between his palms, beginning to continuously absorb the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual energy!
“My god!”
Seeing this, Jun Changxiao thought to himself, “Don’t tell me it’s the Kamehameha?”
Li Qingyang said with a grave expression, “This is the Shengquan Sect’s exclusive martial technique, called the Radiant Magnificent Brilliant Golden Stone Fist!”
Jun Changxiao nearly toppled to the ground.
Just a martial technique, yet given such a long name—truly fucking talented!
Also, my Second Disciple actually said it all in one breath without stopping—also a great talent!
Complaints aside.
Jun Changxiao’s face showed gravity. After all, the two energy spheres gathering spiritual energy were emanating increasingly powerful force!
“This Radiant…”
Li Qingyang forgot the name of the martial technique, pausing slightly before saying, “Something Something Stone Fist seems to be a mid-tier Common-grade martial technique.”
Each grade of martial techniques and cultivation methods was subdivided into three small tiers: Basic Tier, Mid Tier, and High Tier.
Although the Nine Layered Waves Sword was only Low-grade Basic Tier, if the ninth form was executed, its power level could directly reach Common-grade Basic Tier!
Since the Xingyun Continent had such detailed divisions for martial techniques, it definitely meant that the higher the quality and tier, the more powerful the martial technique.
“You’re kidding!”
“A mid-tier Common-grade martial technique?!”
“In Qingyang City, this is priceless even when available!”
“Worthy of being disciples who came out of Shengquan Sect, actually cultivating such a powerful martial technique!”
Amid everyone’s envious exclamations, Wei Yinu had already built the Radiant Something Something Fist to its extreme, the two energy spheres flashing with dazzling light!
“Whoosh whoosh!”
Wild winds suddenly arose on the Grudge Platform!
“Heavens!”
“Such powerful momentum!”
“So this is a mid-tier Common-grade martial technique!!”
The martial artists from various sects held their breath, their eyes full of shock.
“Brat!”
Wei Yinu roared furiously, “Accept death…”
Jun Changxiao took out a wooden comb and tidied his disheveled hair, saying, “My hairstyle got blown messy. How annoying.”
“Thud!”
All the martial artists toppled over.
Elder Wei had revealed his trump card, forming a howling wind momentum, yet instead of caring about his own safety, he was concerned about his hairstyle!!
