Urban Most Awesome Dad

His performance was already astonishing enough to instill fear in others, but being too extraordinary would only cause people to regard him as a non-human monster, inevitably leading major players to study him.

Raising his hand to wipe the sweat off, Xu Fan gasped for breath and pretended to recover for half a minute before saying to Li Fuqiang, “Uncle Li, let’s stop here for today, my True Qi is exhausted.”

Li Fuqiang nodded, smiling broadly, “Alright, as you say. My nephew, I didn’t expect your performance to be so eye-catching.” His palms were actually all sweaty.

“Uncle Li, let’s keep a low profile, otherwise I might get carried away,” Xu Fan joked.

“You rascal, with such ability and still concealing your skill! Well, I’ll keep this combat a secret as much as I can.”

The two soared through the void and landed inside the Heart of Heaven Pavilion.

Qian Zongsheng and the other three looked at Xu Fan differently now, their eyes filled with reverence and surprise.

To be able to battle fiercely with a Martial King without falling short in over a hundred moves, all while only at the Martial Arts Grandmaster level.

This was simply beyond the comprehension of martial arts.

And those who can break recognition and rationale are either supreme geniuses or world-defying talents.

Li Fuqiang’s gaze swept over the river to the brightly lit world on the opposite shore, his eyes brimming with endless surges of anticipation.

After a short moment, he turned back and said, “My nephew, I’m so happy tonight because you’ve given me so many surprises. That Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, I’m sure it’s a Ninth Stage martial arts technique.”

“Wow!”

Xiao Bai couldn’t help but exclaim softly.

Ninth Stage martial arts technique—what does that mean?

Even the Flame Dragon Organization, with thousands of years of heritage, only has one Ninth Stage martial arts technique, and only the head dragon leader has learned it. The four Heavenly Venerable Realm Elders, despite having exchanged for it, have not been able to learn it, showing how difficult it is to train.

But Xu Fan’s Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, not only is it Ninth Stage, but Xu Fan is also very proficient in it, indicating the difficulty of cultivating it isn’t that high.

Xu Fan gave a sheepish smile, feeling a bit awkward, “I don’t understand the classification of tiers at all; I just guessed it must be a Superior Martial Skill.”

“Hmph, possessing a treasure without realizing it—that’s you!”

Li Fuqiang said with absolute certainty, “From the impressions it gives me, the divine skill’s defense alone can rank it at eighth stage. Moreover, it can provide various enhancements to the user, significantly boosting personal attributes. Therefore, labeling it as ninth stage is absolutely no problem.”

Li Fuqiang was saying this, but his heart was already itching to practice it immediately.

After all, Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill was too abnormal. With its super strong defense and the ability to greatly enhance combat power, it virtually granted its user an unbeatable position from the start.

Compared with the Evil Spirit Possession of the Black Blade Organization, it was truly a case of the great sorcerer dwarfing the lesser; it far surpassed in defensive capabilities, and the increase in combat power was even more pronounced.

The two were simply not on the same level.

“I don’t quite understand these things. Anyway, it’s being offered to the organization. The higher its rank, the greater help it will be to the organization, won’t it?” Xu Fan said with an innocent smile.

“It’s fine if you don’t understand, but I must report this to the Dragon Group’s boss and the four Elders. To them, this thing is nothing less than a once-in-an-age treasure,” Li Fuqiang’s eyes flashed with excitement.

“Dragon Group’s boss?” Xu Fan asked in confusion, “Is that the organization’s leader?”

“Yes,” Li Fuqiang explained, “The boss of the Dragon Group is the number one person in the organization, the most loyal successor to protect the Dragon lineage. His power has reached an unfathomable level, making him one of the top experts in the Ancient Martial World. I have once witnessed the boss in action. It was truly a sight to behold—as easily as moving his hands and feet, he could divert rivers and flatten mountains, just like an immortal from the myths.”

“All four Great Elders are at the Heavenly Venerable Realm, but even joined together, they were still defeated by the boss. Therefore, I suspect that the boss’s realm may have already surpassed the Heavenly Venerable Realm.”

“That really is powerful!” Xu Fan exclaimed in admiration.

If it was as Li Fuqiang said, then the Dragon Group’s boss might have already condensed the legendary Inner True Pellet, which is equivalent to the Golden Core cultivators in the cultivation system.

Within the cultivation system, both the acquired and innate stages are considered mundane. Only when one officially starts Qi refining does one step into the threshold of cultivation.

After Qi refining comes Foundation Establishment, strengthening and cementing the foundation for cultivation, akin to laying the foundation for a house.

After establishing the Foundation, one forms the Golden Core. Upon entering this realm, cultivators undergo a tremendous transformation, with both strength and lifespan changing drastically.

Following that comes the Nascent Soul, Divinity Transformation, Void Refinement, Body Integration, and ultimately, Tribulation Transcendence.

Tribulation Transcendence is the most terrifying. It consists of nine instances, also known as the Ninefold Thunder Tribulation. With each tribulation crossed, the power of the next tribulation multiplies, meaning the cultivator’s strength must also increase accordingly.

After surmounting the ninefold tribulations, the final Celestial Tribulation awaits, also known as the Ascension Tribulation, Feathering Tribulation, or Immortal Ascension Tribulation.

Successfully enduring the tribulation leads to ascension and entry into The Immortal Realm.

If one fails, they can only become a Loose Immortal—forever unable to ascend and, every hundred years, subjected to the punishment of the Thunder Tribulation, with its power continuously increasing. In the end, escape from death and the dissipation of one’s Dao is inevitable.

However, compared to those who perish in the tribulation, disintegrating into smoke and ash, both body and soul extinguished, Loose Immortals are considered fortunate—they at least get to live a few more centuries and reenter the cycle of reincarnation.

As for those like Xu Fan who, after failing the tribulation, accidentally transmigrated to another world, they can only be considered one-in-a-billion exceptions with no possibility of replication.

…

That said,

If the Dragon Group’s boss truly possesses Golden Core strength, it indeed exceeds Xu Fan’s expectations.

With his current strength, if he were to be targeted by a Golden Core powerhouse, he would have no choice but to flee, striving to escape with his whole body intact.

As for fighting? That would be no different from seeking death!

Fighting across two major realms is unheard of—such disparity in raw power cannot simply be bridged with cultivation experience and combat techniques.

In fact, escaping unscathed is already the best possible outcome.

If it were anyone else, even a Foundation Establishment powerhouse trying to escape from a Golden Core powerhouse,

Describing it as a fantastical tale would not be an overstatement.
