"I'll wait for you for five minutes."
Meng Dongxing snorted, crossing his arms. He wanted to see what tricks this upstart could pull.
Jiang Chen didn't reply. He kept throwing punches, his arms a blur.
In those five minutes, his fists struck out hundreds of times, each one infused with his Hundredfold Cultivation System's efficiency.
Ding!You throw a punch. Gained 10 × 100 experience!
Ding!You throw a punch. Gained 10 × 100 experience!
…
Ding!Your Huang-rank High-grade Martial Art: Mountain-Splitting Fist has reached Perfection. Successfully evolved into Profound-rank Low-grade Martial Art: Sky-Breaking Fist!
System Prompt:Congratulations! You have comprehended Profound-rank Low-grade Martial Art: Sky-Breaking Fist.
Jiang Chen exhaled slowly, flexing his fingers."Finally… Profound-rank."
"Jiang Chen, your five minutes are up," Meng Dongxing's cold voice rang out.
"Don't worry," Jiang Chen grinned, finally lifting his gaze. "I have an excellent sense of time. Five minutes means five minutes. I won't shortchange you."
His grin widened."But… are you really sure you want me to take three strikes?"
Meng Dongxing sneered."Take your best shot. If you can break my Profound-rank Low-grade Defensive Technique: Basalt Golden Light Shield in three moves, I, Meng Dongxing, will admit defeat!"
He stood there like an immovable wall, radiating absolute confidence.
This shield could withstand several strikes from Qi Protection Realm cultivators.
Jiang Chen? He wasn't even worth taking seriously.
"Three moves?" Jiang Chen chuckled, shaking his head."You think too highly of yourself."
He lifted a single finger."I'll blow you up with one punch."
Uproar.
The crowd exploded into chaos.
"Did I hear that right? Did he just say… one punch?"
"This newbie really knows how to brag. I can't decide if I should laugh or cry."
"Haha! Even Inner Palace students can't do that! He's insane!"
The onlookers gawked at Jiang Chen as though he'd grown a second head.
Meng Dongxing's eyes narrowed dangerously."Blow me up with one punch? Jiang Chen, watch your tongue before it gets cut off!"
He gave a cold laugh."In Lingyun Wufu, perhaps someone could blow me away with one strike… but that someone sure as hell isn't you!"
"Really?" Jiang Chen tilted his head, his voice calm and chilling."Then keep your eyes open."
BOOM.
The air around him erupted as his aura surged.
A dazzling silver light burst forth from his right fist, qi condensing into a massive fist shadow in midair.
The sheer pressure made the ground beneath his feet crack.
Jiang Chen stepped forward, his voice thundering like a war drum:
"Sky-Breaking Fist—Break for me!"
The silver fist shadow exploded forward like a meteor, roaring toward Meng Dongxing with unstoppable might.
Meng Dongxing's pupils shrank to pinpoints.
"This… Qi Protection Realm?!"
His heart pounded.
Not only had Jiang Chen broken through to the Qi Protection Realm, but the martial skill he unleashed…
"Profound-rank martial arts?! How is this possible?!"
For the first time, Meng Dongxing's confidence wavered.
