Xu Fan was able to easily catch his killing move with 50% of its power, using the full strength of a Grandmaster.
If the calculations were correct, the rank of this defensive martial arts technique could reach the Ninth Stage!
“Nephew, what martial arts technique is this?” Li Fuqiang took a deep breath and calmed his mind quickly.
With a grin, Xu Fan chuckled with a trace of amusement, “This is the famously known from TV dramas—the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill!”
“What?!”
The crowd was stunned for a moment.
The name was indeed familiar, and judging by Xu Fan’s demonstration, it lived up to its awe-inspiring reputation.
Xu Fan explained, “As everyone has seen, the characteristic of this technique is the golden glow across the body. Its ability is to be indestructible like Vajra, fearing no attack and immune to all poisons. The higher the practitioner’s power, the better the defense and the increased immunity and destructive power. In short, there are many benefits. I guess that when a Grandmaster at full realm uses this skill, it can withstand the attacks from an average Martial King.”
“Moreover, in addition to its exceptional defense, it also significantly enhances the practitioner’s close-combat abilities, whether it’s the speed of movement, attack speed, physical strength, or the power of punches and kicks.”
“Uncle Li, I’m going to test it now, be careful!”
Having said that, Xu Fan flapped his Qi wings and swooped towards Li Fuqiang like an eagle, exuding fierce and aggressive energy.
“Just come at me,” Li Fuqiang said, feeling a rare surge of excitement as he also charged towards Xu Fan.
Truth be told, he was very eager to test the close-combat capabilities of the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill.
The distance of ten zhang quickly closed in, and in the blink of an eye, the two were upon each other.
Xu Fan’s moves lacked any finesse, as he swung a punch that seemed to create a fierce wind, smashing towards Li Fuqiang’s left cheek.
His fist was covered in golden light, with a layer of invisible Qi enveloping the surface. As the punch was thrown, it shot forward like a cannonball, instantly pushing away the air in its path.
Li Fuqiang only felt a gust of wind with the sting of a thousand needles howling toward him, his skin prickling painfully.
Could it be this powerful?
This thought flashed through Li Fuqiang’s mind.
Although he did not primarily focus on external skills as a physically trained martial artist, his cultivation had naturally brought his physical development to a high degree, making him much stronger than an ordinary martial artist.
Yet, Xu Fan’s mere fist wind was enough to cause a stinging pain on his face.
It was imaginable how terrifying the power of this punch was!
He quickly suppressed this thought, his arms swiftly embracing his head as vast True Qi converged between his arms, turning them red hot like two iron rods, and the temperature soared.
“Bang!”
Xu Fan’s fist hammered onto Li Fuqiang’s arms, and as their True Qi collided, it created ripples of Qi Force that spread in all directions, reaching over a hundred meters away.
After the loud noise, Xu Fan flipped backward, retreating a full twenty meters onto the water surface before stabilizing his figure.
Below his feet, the river water formed a round depression two Zhang in diameter and one Zhang deep. Although it lasted only two short seconds, it was enough to illustrate the magnitude of force Xu Fan had withstood, warping the water with the move he used to offload the force.
As for Li Fuqiang, he did not fare much better either, his figure was forcefully pushed back more than five meters before he stabilized.
This exchange clearly showed who was superior, but in reality, it made Xu Fan appear even more extraordinary.
Being able to successfully bridge a great realm and repel a powerful King head-on, such an achievement would astonish anyone wherever it was mentioned.
Qian Zongsheng and the others did not know how to react anymore, as they had faced too many surprises, shocks, and disbelief that evening, collapsing their worldview time and again.
It seemed that on Xu Fan, all things illogical became perfectly normal.
Qian Zongsheng even had the thought that Xu Fan could defeat, or even kill him with a single move.
He wasn’t belittling himself or doubting his own strength.
On the contrary, it was precisely because he had such a clear and precise understanding of his own capabilities that he ranked among the forefront of grandmasters in the Ancient Martial World. It was in comparing himself with Xu Fan that he knew he was far behind.
Someone like Xu Fan should have been labeled as a freak, a monster, or a supreme genius and should have been excluded from the ranks of ancient martial artists.
Thinking of Xu Fan’s young age…
Qian Zongsheng couldn’t imagine just how broad and distant Xu Fan’s future path could be. All he could think of was that Xu Fan could definitely be mentioned in the same breath with a handful of the most recognized and strongest geniuses in the Ancient Martial World.
The geniuses from the secular world, although not having the various excellent resources of the Ancient Martial World, were no less in strength. One could look forward to what kind of sparks they would create when they met.
At this moment, he couldn’t help feeling fortunate.
A few days ago, he almost had an unpleasant encounter with Xu Fan over a matter concerning a demon beast… Fortunately, he didn’t become Xu Fan’s enemy but had recruited him into the Longyan Dragon Organization.
He dared not imagine what the consequences would have been if a conflict had occurred.
The only certainty was that he and Gao Ziling would have been miserably defeated and gone. The Flame Dragon Organization would not only have lost this seedling of talent, but they would also not have obtained the Six Superior Martial Skills.
He himself would not have resolved the hidden dangers within him, nor would he have had the Wooden Immortal Technique and the Superior Martial Skills that Xu Fan promised.
Thinking of all these, Qian Zongsheng couldn’t help but reveal a silly smile.
“Boss, did you win the lottery? You’re smiling so happily!” Xiao Bai noticed something amiss and teased with a laugh.
“Shut up,” Qian Zongsheng said, quickly flashing a trace of embarrassment in his eyes as he hurriedly composed himself.
“Eh, still fighting?”
The group continued to watch the battle.
This kind of close-combat fight was extremely dangerous, with punches landing fleshly; a single carelessness could cost one’s life, but it also had more referential value.
The figures of the two combatants on the field were changing unpredictably, leaving behind a trail of strange and elusive movements.
In just a few breaths of time, the two had exchanged more than thirty rounds.
When the two stopped, Li Fuqiang looked at Xu Fan in surprise, and said, “Nephew, I had no idea your physical strength was so… formidable!”
“Formidable? To actually use the word formidable to describe it?”
A question mark flashed through the minds of Qian Zongsheng and the others, finding it unbelievable.
After all, even when Li Fuqiang addressed a Martial King, he would merely say ‘not bad’; to offer such high praise for a grandmaster was truly inconceivable.
It could only mean that Xu Fan was simply too freakish.
Xu Fan shook his head. Was this considered formidable?
The Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill’s enhancement of physical strength was ultimately limited. If he were to use the highest refinement technique for the body from the Cultivation World, what words could possibly describe it?
Through this exchange, Xu Fan had gained a clear understanding; although a Martial King was strong, he still couldn’t threaten him.
It seemed only a Heavenly Venerable could make him fully exert himself in battle.
He quickly pushed this thought to the back of his mind and seized the opportunity to enjoy a good fight.
Although he hadn’t been on Sea Blue Star for long, he felt it had been a long time since he had enjoyed a vigorous battle. Perhaps he had to count from when he achieved renown in the Cultivation World. Since then, he had seldom taken action, and when he did, it was spellcasting. He hadn’t experienced the thrill of such close combat for too long.
This—
Was truly exhilarating.
