“Thank you for your teachings, Elder!”

Xie Lingfeng respectfully kowtowed three times.

Hu Shan hurriedly followed suit, bowing deeply three times.

“Get up.”

Li Xuan said.

These two are truly respectful!

Such kowtows – even more earnest than my own disciples’ during their apprenticeship ritual.

“I will not disturb Elder’s tranquility anymore.”

Xie Lingfeng bowed and said.

“Hmm!”

Li Xuan nodded.

“Brother Xie, let’s go and spar.”

Xu Yan was full of excitement.

After reaching the Innate Realm, he hadn’t had a chance to spar with Xie Lingfeng. Now, they would have an opportunity to do so.

” Alright!”

Xie Lingfeng agreed, nodding.

Every match would offer him some gain.

Meng Chong, with an eager look on his face, turned to Hu Shan and said, “Let’s have a match.”

Hu Shan still had a knot in his mind. He didn’t manage to fully remember the cultivation technique for refining True Qi. It was too embarrassing to say that he didn’t remember.

“Alright.”

Seeing Meng Chong’s invitation, he absent-mindedly agreed.

The four of them left the courtyard and went to the forest outside the county.

“Young Master, I didn’t manage to memorize the entire Qi refining cultivation technique. Can you tell me about it?”

Hu Shan approached Xie Lingfeng and awkwardly asked.

Xie Lingfeng looked at him speechlessly.

“I… I didn’t dare to mention it in front of the elder.”

Hu Shan stuttered.

Meng Chong patted his shoulder and said,”Come on, let me see the Martial Arts of the Grandmaster of the Inner Domain. Anything you didn’t remember,

I can tell you.”

Hu Shan felt more embarrassed. Out of the four of them, he was the only one who did not remember.

“Alright.”

Hu Shan nodded and followed Meng Chong to another area.

“Brother Xie, please!”

Xu Yan grasped a tree branch and smiled.

Just as Xie Lingfeng was about to grab a branch, Xu Yan said, “Brother Xie, use your sword.”

“Alright!”

Xie Lingfeng’s mouth twitched. Has Xu Yan become so confident that he dares to spar with me using a mere branch?

Is it possible that after reaching the Innate Realm, his strength has increased this much?

Considering Xu Yan’s Sword Intent, Xie Lingfeng couldn’t be careless.

He drew his sword.

“Brother Xu, be careful!”

He attacked with his strongest move, the Flying Rainbow Sword!

The sword light flashed for an instant, moving with exceptional speed.

Xu Yan struck out with the tree branch, releasing a wave of Sword Qi that shattered the sword light, followed by an immense Sword Qi, like a vast, relentless river!

Xie Lingfeng was taken aback. This seemed like the Thousand Rivers Swordsmanship, yet it was even more ferocious, more powerful!

ii

Is this the power of Innate True Qi?”

The Sword Qi was immense and unceasing. Although it was just a tree branch that produced it, and Xu Yan did not use his Sword Intent, Xie Lingfeng still felt a significant pressure.

The spirit of a Grandmaster Martial Artist had exploded to its full strength. The Martial Arts Inner Qi was running, and the sword was shining with a dazzling sword glow. He was exerting his full power.

Xu Yan’s strength after breaking through was exorbitantly strong; he was definitely not his match.

The purity and power of the Innate True Qi were much stronger than his Martial Arts Inner Qi.

The spar between Xu Yan and Xie Lingfeng was purely a Swordsmanship contest, with intense Sword Qi intertwining.

The match between Meng Chong and Hu Shan, however, was much more dramatic.

Meng Chong held a large knife, his whole body glowing like golden glaze. With one swift movement, he instantly reached Hu Shan’s left side, and the knife chopped down fiercely.

Hu Shan felt a chill in his heart. With a clang, he parried with his sword.

He just felt an enormous force from the knife, startling him. What tremendous physical strength!

Instantly taking the situation seriously, he exercised his Gale Swordsmanship.

Meng Chong propped up his big knife, slashing one blade after another. His Qi and vitality were like a golden bell, as if his sturdy body was swelling up.

His style was madly fierce, with all his strength concentrating on the big knife.

However, he was just at the initial mastery level of Qi and Blood Realm, not as strong as Hu Shan. Although he was fighting fiercely, Hu Shan was still able to deal with it comfortably.

Suddenly, Meng Chong rushed forward, ignoring the sweeping Sword Qi. His machete fiercely chopped towards Hu Shan.

“Be careful!”

Hu Shan’s face changed, and he hurriedly tried to retract his move, but it was already too late.

He could only watch as several waves of Sword Qi swept towards Meng Chong, his heart sinking!

This attack, whether Meng Chong would die or be seriously injured was uncertain.

What can be done about this?

However, an even more shocking scene appeared.

The Sword Qi bombarded Meng Chong’s body. The golden light on his body swayed and cracked open gaps. The remaining Sword Qi hit Meng Chong’s flesh, leaving only shallow white marks!

Not even a single wound appeared!

Caught off guard by this surprise, he suddenly felt a violent blade light slashing down and hurriedly raised his treasured sword to block it.

With a crash!

The swords heavily collided with each other,

Hu Shan only felt a huge force pressing down from the sword, his arm bending down instantly, his treasured sword almost slipped from his hand, and his feet sunk half a foot into the ground with a bang!

“How could this be possible!”

He almost couldn’t handle this blade!

Although he was caught off guard, he is after all a martial artist in the realm of Grandmasters. Even with the augmentation of his Martial Arts Inner Qi, he was barely able to withstand Meng Chong’s blade—an initiate in Martial Arts!

Is this the gap between true Martial Arts and pseudo Martial Arts?

He vibrated his treasured sword, shaking off the big knife, and quickly retreated with his figure.

Looking at Meng Chong with a surprised face, he asked, “You’re not hurt, are you?”

Meng Chong patted his chest and said, “Of course not, your Sword Qi is indeed strong. If it were five or six percent stronger, you would have been able to hurt me!”

Hu Shan was at a loss for words upon hearing this.

What a terrifying body!

Even steel would be effortlessly cut under his Sword Qi.

However, Meng Chong was unharmed.

Just leaving a shallow white mark on his skin, which has already disappeared.

This body is indeed horrifying.

“Is this the strength of pure physical Martial Arts?”

Hu Shan wasn’t sure how to express his feelings at the moment.

If Meng Chong breaks through the Innate Realm, even if he tries his best, he may not be able to penetrate Meng Chong’s physical defenses, right?

Meng Chong looked at the treasured sword in his hand. He had attacked fiercely just now, but he always felt that it lacked something and couldn’t perform to his full strength.

“The river and lake swordsmanship I learned is ultimately too poor. It can’t unleash my strength and doesn’t exhibit the strength Martial Arts should have. I need to find master to teach me swordsmanship!”

Thinking this, Meng Chong stabbed the treasured sword into the ground, clenched his fist, and looked at Hu Shan, saying, “Come, let’s go again!”

“You’re not using the sword?”

Hu Shan’s eyebrows furrowed.

“I haven’t learned the sword yet, I don’t know how to use it. I’ll use the Wind and Thunder Vajra Fist to discuss with you.”

Meng Chong spoke bluntly.

Hu Shan was speechless. Such wildness, and he says he hasn’t learned swordsmanship? Doesn’t know swordsmanship?

“This strength, even among martial artists in the Inner Domain, a first-grade martial artist would not be able to take his sword.”

In the Inner Domain, probably only a handful of first-grade martial artists could withstand such a ferocious attack from Meng Chong.

And these first-grade martial artists are truly among the best of the first-grade martial artists.

Meng Chong is just a beginner in Martial Arts, according to his terminology, he has only achieved a small success in the Qi and Blood Realm.

If he masters the Qi and Blood Realm, defeating first-grade martial artists in the Inner Domain and even some weaker Grandmasters would not be a problem.

With his pulse surging, Hu Shan yearned: “This is the might of the true Martial Arts. I must condense my True Qi. Once my martial arts is corrected and I become a true martial artist, will I have the opportunity to fight back against some weak Great Grandmasters?”

Thinking about it made his blood boil. He sheathed his sword and said, “Then I’ll also use fist techniques to spar with you!”

Meng Chong raised an eyebrow, “Are you sure you want to spar with me using fist techniques?”

Hu Shan’s swordsmanship was indeed strong, and he was not his opponent.

However, if they sparred with fist techniques, the outcome would be unpredictable, especially if it turned into a close-quarter melee.

Don’t look down on me. Although Sword Monarch Cliff is known for swordsmanship, our fist techniques, palm techniques, and movement techniques are all top-notch.”

Hu Shan clenched his fists, initiating the attack.

“Watch carefully!”

Boom!

His fist was fiercely powerful, reaching Meng Chong’s face in an instant.

“Good!”

Meng Chong’s eyes sparkled, he roared lowly, his fist moved like a thunderbolt, overpowering and swift.

One punch out, followed by another like a violent wind. The figure hopped and kept getting closer. The sound of wind and thunder echoed.

The whole person transformed into a Vajra Luohan. In just an instant, he suppressed Hu Shan’s fist technique.

In a flash, he was already near Hu Shan, whose thunderous fist force seemed to penetrate everywhere, constantly punching through Hu Shan’s defensive gap. For a while, Hu Shan seemed a bit flustered.

All he could see was thunder and lightning roaring with terrifying power, attacking unpredictably and defensively.

He suddenly regretted, should not have abandoned the sword. Meng Chong’s fist technique was too terrifying..
