Chapter 998 - The Secret of John Doe’s Explosive Increase in His Strength

His Dantian and meridians were all broken!

The Dantian was the foundation of a martial arts practitioner. Once it was damaged, it would be arduous for a martial arts practitioner to continue to cultivate in the future. Those who were lightly injured wouldn’t be able to improve themselves anymore while those who were seriously injured would lose all their martial arts skills.

“How, how dare you to hurt my Dantian!”

Enduring the severe pain, Lin Rusheng stood up, barely drove his internal Qi to clean the blood on the surface of his skin, and revealed numerous wounds on his upper body. He roared at Fang Qiu angrily.

As soon as he said that, the onlookers, who were still in a state of shock, were even more astounded now!

“What?”

“Did he actually hurt his Dantian?”

“Lin Rusheng is a Half-step Guru. How could he be seriously injured by John Doe like that?”

The onlookers discussed heatedly.

The expressions of Yun Yangzi, Diwu Qian, Xi Shaolin, Qian Xiao, and Zhan Lin all changed.

The five of them represented the Four Great Families and the Pear Garden.

As the top five forces in Wulin, they naturally knew how important a guru was to Wulin.

The ordinary martial arts practitioners and Martial Superiors around him didn’t know much about the guru because they weren’t exposed to one before. But these five people were different. They were fully aware that Lin Rusheng was now in an extremely special state. Although he had overcome the chasm, he still needed time to cultivate to become a real guru. Only when his internal Qi was completely purified and his physical strength broke through and reached the level of the Guru Realm could he become a real guru.

However, John Doe directly hurt Lin Rusheng’s Dantian at such a critical stage.

Once Lin Rusheng’s Dantian was injured, it was equivalent to destroying Lin Rusheng’s foundation. Under these circumstances, Lin Rusheng might be stuck at this stage forever and it would be difficult for him to become a guru in the future!

“Oh my God, John Doe actually did it. He truly ruined Lin Rusheng’s path to becoming a guru!”

“What?”

“Lin Rusheng hasn’t completely broken through to the Guru realm yet. And now his Dantian is damaged. As John Doe said, he will stop at this stage for the rest of his life!”

Some experts exclaimed one after another.

As people heard that, they were all amazed by this outcome.

“What the f*ck? Is it true?”

“Do you mean that Lin Rusheng’s path to becoming a guru has been destroyed by John Doe?”

“Although I’m delighted, I really can’t believe John Doe is actually so powerful. He can even maim a Half-step Guru. He’s too formidable.”

“A Half-step Guru is not a guru after all. With the strength John Doe has shown today, he can really be regarded as the strongest person below the Guru Realm!”

“It’s a pity that a Half-step Guru’s foundation was ruined like that.”

“It’s indeed a pity, but Lin Rusheng deserved it. He’s so evil. Not only is he ungrateful, but he also bites the hand that feeds him. If such a scumbag really becomes a guru, it’ll be so unfair!”

“Aargh… I want you dead!” In the field, knowing that his path to becoming a guru was ruined, Lin Rusheng was so angry that he instantly went mad. Regardless of the blood flowing from his wounds, he forcibly mobilized his internal Qi and rushed madly towards Fang Qiu.

“Humph,” Fang Qiu struck out with his palm and took Lin Rusheng’s blow. He said coldly, “Stop right now and I’ll let you keep your cultivation!”

“I’ll kill you! Go to hell!”

Lin Rusheng went crazy. He couldn’t listen to what John Doe said. Even if he heard that he would only think that John Doe was mocking him and would only get angrier.

As soon as Fang Qiu finished speaking, Lin Rusheng furiously charged to attack him as if he didn’t care about his life at all. He attacked madly with lethal moves!

Fang Qiu’s sword seriously injured him just now, and Lin Rusheng had used up all his internal Qi to block that sword.

In this case, no matter how crazy and fierce Lin Rusheng was, he was no match for Fang Qiu.

“Humph,” confronted with Lin Rusheng’s crazy attacks, Fang Qiu snorted and said angrily, “since you don’t appreciate it, I’ll maim you today!”

After that, he made his move directly.

His punch hit Lin Rusheng’s Dantian directly.

“Crack!” A crisp sound rang out immediately.

All the people present heard it.

Lin Rusheng’s Dantian was shattered!

With the shattering of his Dantian, the internal Qi that had been stored in his Dantian suddenly flowed back in reverse and burst Lin Rusheng’s meridians directly!

“Puff…” Lin Rusheng spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground.

With everyone’s eyes fixed on him, Lin Rusheng fell to the ground with a bang. His eyes looked dull and lifeless.

So far, a super expert who was a Half-step Guru now completely became an ordinary man.

“Whistle…” A gust of wind howled.

All the people present were stupefied.

Not long ago, this place was filled with people having a banquet at fifty tables. Not long ago, everyone was smiling happily and congratulated Lin Rusheng who had the demeanor of a transcendent being and enjoyed everyone’s respect.

In the blink of an eye, the banquet ended. Lin Rusheng descended to an ordinary man from a super expert.

This change shocked everyone on the scene, including Yun Yangzi and the members of the Four Great Families!

“He… he actually…”

“He is a Half-step Guru. How could he be maimed just like that?”

“Oh my God, what did I just see?”

“A rare expert in the world was defeated by John Doe effortlessly. This is so ridiculous.”

“A ninth-class Martial Superior actually maimed a Half-step Guru. I can’t believe it!”

People started to discuss heatedly.

Previously, no one dared to say bad things about Lin Rusheng because he had a great deterrent. But now, Lin Rusheng was maimed by John Doe, so people weren’t worried anymore. They spoke out whatever was on their mind.

Lin Rusheng, who vomited blood and fell to the ground, was already furious. When he heard that everyone bluntly said that he was shameless, he immediately looked up and spat out a mouthful of blood. Then he rolled up his eyes and passed out directly.

In the field, after defeating Lin Rusheng, Fang Qiu took a deep breath and glanced at everyone. Then he turned around and walked towards He Gaoming.

In the field, after glancing at Yun Yangzi and Diwu Qian, Fang Qiu shouted and directly left with He Gaoming.

He had used up almost all his energy. He needed to leave right now.

As for Lin Rusheng, he was useless in this life.

Lin Rusheng’s friends, who had never dared to stand out, also hurried forward and took him away.

Until the two of them left, the commotion on the scene gradually became louder.

“How terrifying.”

“Who on earth is John Doe? How can he be so powerful?”

“John Doe could even main a Half-step Guru. Isn’t he too formidable?”

Of course, all the experts present were also shocked like others.

Before coming here, no one expected that there would be another great battle on Zhongnan Mountain. When the battle started, no one would imagine that John Doe, who had just broken through and became a ninth-class Martial Superior, could not only defeat Lin Rusheng but also maimed him!

No one could predict such an outcome.

Soon, because there was a livestream of the battle, the news that John Doe had defeated Lin Rusheng quickly spread in the entire Wulin like a hurricane as soon as the battle was over.

“John Doe won!”

“John Doe didn’t only win but also maimed Lin Rusheng?”

“What? How is that possible? Didn’t Lin Rusheng overcome the chasm and get close to becoming a guru? How could he possibly be maimed by John Doe?”

“Lin Rusheng is a Half-step Guru. Although he doesn’t become a real guru yet, his strength is much more powerful than it used to be. Could John Doe actually maim him?”

“How powerful is John Doe?”

“John Doe is definitely going to be a legend in this world. He was the only one in Wulin who can maim a Half-step Guru with the strength of the ninth class. This kind of achievement is unprecedented!”

“How can John Doe have so many trump cards?”

“I didn’t expect John Doe to have another trump card. Is that sword move his last trump card? Or does he have a stronger trump card?”

People in the entire Wulin were discussing it.

Meanwhile, leaders of Four Great Families, who received the news in the first place, were also shocked.

“Did that kid actually maim Lin Rusheng?”

The moment Elder Zhan received the news, he frowned and muttered, “I didn’t expect this kid to have such power. Does getting old influence my judgment?”

“After this battle, John Doe can truly be regarded as the strongest person below the Guru Realm. Even a Half-step Guru is no match for him.”

When Patriarch Qian received the news, he nodded secretly and said, “It’s a pity that Qian Xiao can’t get along with him. It’s hard to make a good relationship with John Doe.”

“Sure enough.” In the Xi family, Xi Fengling stopped fiddling with the beads and said, “Although I haven’t found out his background, this boy’s combat capability is really formidable according to the information I found. He has all kinds of powerful moves. However, no one in Wulin has ever used the unique moves he used before. And that old master… I’m afraid that the people supporting this boy are more powerful than we can imagine!”

“He won?” In the Diwu family, Diwu Mingchuan, who received the news, was stunned at first. Then, he hurriedly looked through the livestream post on the Wulin forum. After reading it, he frowned and said, “Why is this kid’s combat capability becoming more and more formidable? Although the stronger he is, the better it is for Wulin, isn’t this improvement a little too fast?”

Just when people of the whole Wulin and Four Great Families were talking about this matter, a new post suddenly appeared on the Wulin forum.

The post wrote, “The secret of John Doe’s explosive increase in his strength!”

The person who sent the post was the young man who was watching the battle on the scene back then. He was lifting the dishes and eating the meat while he was amazed that John Doe’s strength was getting stronger and stronger.

Undoubtedly, the problem mentioned in this post was what people of the entire Wulin were most concerned about at the moment.

Hence, as soon as the post came out, it immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

The young martial arts practitioner didn’t hesitate to completely express his thoughts in the post.

“Everyone knows that John Doe has experienced countless battles since the day he rose to fame. And his strength shown in every battle is stronger than the last time. That is to say, after every battle, John Doe’s strength will improve, especially his combat capability, which will even take a quantum leap!

“However, in this case, has anyone found a very special problem like me?

“The problem is that John Doe basically would get the Heaven Treasure in advance every time when he was about to have a battle with others!

“The Heaven Treasure is an extremely rare thing.

“It’s a treasure in Wulin!

“Every time John Doe gets the Heaven Treasure, his combat capability will improve greatly in the battle. I guess that the Heaven Treasure can help people make a great improvement rapidly. This kind of improvement is not only about strength. We all know that the Heaven Treasure can do that. What I want to say is… combat capability!

“Did John Doe master the method of using the Heaven Treasure to improve his combat capability?”
