Chapter 64 - Blown to Bits!

Creak.

Qin Changkong opened the door and exited the room.

“Uncle Qin, did she succeed?” Chen Fan turned around and asked.

Qin Yao emerged from behind Qin Changkong, and her aura underwent a subtle change, becoming slightly colder.

When he saw Qin Yao, Chen Fan realized that she had succeeded in fusing with the Bone Spirit Flame.

And she had also become an eighth-level cultivator.

Considering the Bone Spirit Flame’s mystical nature, she could be considered an expert even among those in the same cultivation realm.

Qin Yao now possessed a cold and captivating beauty, exuding a chilling aura at all times.

“Haha, it’s all thanks to you. Without the Fire Spirit Chalcedony, the Bone Spirit Flame could have devoured Yaoyao instead.”

Qin Changkong was in a great mood due to the successful fusion.

Upon reflecting on his previous statement, Chen Fan realized that there had been a mishap during the fusion process; it would have failed if it weren't for the Fire Spirit Chalcedony.

“All that matters is that Senior Sister succeeded without accident,” Chen Fan said.

Fusing with primeval flame was perilous. If the fusion failed, one would suffer a significant loss of primeval qi, potentially leading to crippled cultivation at best, or being completely consumed by the primeval flame, leaving no trace, at worst.

“Mmm, thanks to the successful fusion, she is now at the eighth level of the Qigong realm and can become a real Alchemist. Her status in the Spring Autumn Sect will also rise accordingly,” Qin Changkong said.

“Congratulations, Senior Sister,” Chen Fan said to Qin Yao.

Alchemists, capable of refining pills and elixirs, were esteemed individuals.

One would have trouble finding an Alchemist even in a group of ten thousand martial artists. Only a select few lucky individuals could walk on that path.

For instance, take the Realm Breaking Pill—Qi Grandmasters dream of this pill. If Qin Yao could successfully refine Realm Breaking Pills, Qi Grandmasters would line up to fight for her.

And just like that, several days and nights passed.

Soon, the bell signaling the start of the last phase of the Outer Sect Grand Competition rang punctually.

Chen Fan opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.

His eyes shone brightly, and his primeval qi rose; he was in peak condition.

He had spent the last night meditating to stabilize his peak sixth-level cultivation.

Chen Fan arrived at the outer sect plaza full of vigor like a tiger.

Many disciples made way for him, looking at him with awe.

“Still thinking of resisting? Well, in that case, don't expect a quick death. I’ll take my time torturing you!” Yan Ba sneered, emanating his aura.

He struck out with his hand, curling his fingers to resemble an eagle's claw, trying to shatter Chen Fan's punch. [1]

However, Chen Fan was way stronger than before now, and this punch had ninety percent of his strength. How could someone at the early stage of the eighth level possibly shatter it?

The force of Chen Fan's punch erupted, directly shattering Yan Ba's claws. He let out a miserable scream, but it quickly came to a halt as Chen Fan's devastating punch struck him.

Boom!

The single devastating blow filled the sky with a torrent of blood, splattering in all directions.

Next, Chen Fan turned around and simply walked off the arena.

The surrounding area fell into an eerie silence. Every eye was wide open, fixed on the fighting arena.

Yan Ba could be seen nowhere. Only a pile of minced meat remained.

One punch.

It took just one punch to obliterate Yan Ba, an eighth-level expert, into pieces.

Hiss...

The sound of people sucking in breaths of cold air soon rang out one after another.

The crowd looked at Chen Fan’s back, their eyes filled with horror.

During the first phase of the competition, Chen Fan had blown up Sun Youwei, a sixth-level cultivator, with a single punch. However, Yan Ba was at the eighth level but still met the same fate.

“This...”

“One punch. He took out Yan Ba with one punch. He turned an eighth-level expert into bits. That’s too scary.”

“It’s only been a few days. He wasn’t this horrifying three days ago, was he!?”

“Such a pity. Yan Ba paid with his life for a profound tier cultivation technique that would never be his. Chen Fan is a killing star. He would never go easy against his enemies.”

“......”

A wave of whispering voices spread out.

The members of the Heaven's Alliance wore extremely grim expressions.

They had never anticipated such a tremendous growth in Chen Fan's strength. His improvement was simply incredible. He seemingly transformed into a different person each day, effortlessly obliterating even an eighth-level practitioner.

Furthermore, even though Yan Ba wasn’t from the Heaven’s Alliance, they had bought him out. His swift defeat with a single punch felt like a direct slap to their faces.

Chen Changfeng stared at Chen Fan as a strange light flashed in his eyes. The corners of his lips raised as he muttered to himself, “It’s getting more interesting. The stronger the prey, the greater the sense of accomplishment. We will meet soon, Chen Fan. Your nightmare is about to arrive.”

Thoughts: When I saw the surname Yan, I thought he might be the brother of the archer who found Chen Fan and went to inform Liao Fan. Might have some spicy drama that way. Oh well.

1. The attacks aren't just physical, but also qi attacks. Shattering refers to breaking down the qi making up most of the attack power. ?
