On the summit of Luo Yin Mountain, everyone was in a state of shock.
Even those who were not standing on the pavilion had heard from others that John Doe was walking over leisurely. At this moment, he was only halfway up the mountain.
But what they heard was not the sound of ordinary footsteps at all. The sound was as shocking as the steps of a giant marching over, which shook the earth.
Halfway up the mountain, Fang Qiu was completely unaware of the situation on the summit.
Having remained in a peaceful state of mind for a few days, Fang Qiu now felt that his mind was as settled as still water. Especially after he broke through to the seventh class with one opened meridian, he felt particularly relaxed. The world in front of him seemed to be completely different from the world he had seen before. If the universe was an endless world for him in the past, then now it was more like a place for amusement, which made him take to it like a duck to water.
It was also because of this state that Fang Qiu noticed many trivial details that he had not paid attention to before, such as how the flowers and plants looked when they were still, or blown by the wind, or caught in the mist, or wet with dew.
From this angle, there were still so many wonderful things hidden in this world that had never been discovered.
Under the moonlight, Fang Qiu walked on leisurely while immersed in the wonderful state. He was completely overwhelmed as if he had entered an extraordinarily strange realm.
In the distance, on the top of the east side, around the stone table, the eyes of the four people shifted from Yun Yangzi to the young man who was walking briskly halfway up the mountain.
“As I expected.”
A middle-aged man nodded. There was a faint trace of surprise in his eyes when he looked at Fang Qiu.
“This is…”
Diwu Qian’s father had a startled look on his face.
“Lotus Stride!”
The white-bearded old man narrowed his eyes and exclaimed, “Only when an ancient warrior has reached a certain level can he enter this realm. Every step he takes will create a resonance between heaven and earth. If he is on the sea, there will be great waves!”
“I did not expect that there would be someone among the younger generation who can reach such a realm.”
Besides the three people, a haggard woman with furrowed brows said, “This young man has a promising future!”
At the peak of Luo Yin Mountain, led by Diwu Qian, eight of the top ten talents in Wulin sitting around the square stood up in unison and looked out over the mountain gate.
In the center of the field, Yun Yangzi turned to gaze at the outside of the mountain gate as if he sensed something. With a faint smile on his face, he said to himself, “John Doe, don’t let me down!”
“This Internal Qi is so strong!”
Mu Rufeng raised his eyebrows and said as if he were facing a formidable opponent, “He can actually use the internal Qi to such an extent. It goes through the mountain like a shock wave, but it doesn’t hurt any of the vegetation on the mountain.”
“Yeah.”
Feng Yiming also took a deep breath and said with emotion, “It seems that John Doe’s strength has improved again! Such terrifying progress!”
“Although he seems brisk, it’s obvious that his strength is more threatening than before.”
Chen Yunzhu nodded in agreement.
“The seventh class.”
Diwu Qian frowned slightly and there was a hint of surprise on her stunningly beautiful face. She uttered, “With one opened meridian!”
“He made another break through again, didn’t he?”
Chen Yunxiu was surprised at first, but then he couldn’t help but exclaim, “And he is so powerful at this level. How did he cultivate? He is really a monster!”
“Why do I feel that John Doe seems to be reserving his strength like food. When he needs it, he can take it out. If he wants to break through, he can do it right away. He doesn’t look like a normal Wulin practitioner at all. No matter how talented he is, he can’t just pull it off, right?”
Feng Yiming gave a wry smile.
Diwu Qian’s beautiful eyes glowed as she fell into deep thought.
As the masters on the Wulin Genius List rose to their feet, the others also got up and waited.
While waiting, everyone found that every time John Doe took a step closer to the top of the mountain, the intimidating sounds of his footfalls that they could hear would weaken a little.
When Fang Qiu came to the mountain gate, the sound of his footsteps that could make one’s heart race, eventually died down.
It was as if it had never appeared before.
As the footsteps dissipated, Fang Qiu walked through the gate. His aura changed quietly and he was no longer as relaxed and leisurely as before. Instead, he was shrouded with an intense fighting spirit as if he had turned into another person in an instant.
His gentleness which seemed to be able to embrace everything in the world now turned into determination.
As he came to his senses, Fang Qiu was slightly stunned and forgot what he had just experienced. He turned his head and glanced around the square. At last, he fixed his eyes on a dark mountain peak in the east.
He did not refrain from executing his fist salute.
While looking to the east, Fang Qiu smiled faintly, bowed respectfully and then turned to Yun Yangzi in the center of the square.
In the eyes of all the onlookers, it made everyone even more confused.
“When Yun Yangzi arrived earlier, he also saluted toward that direction. Now that John Doe is here, why did he also salute in that direction?”
“Is someone over there?”
“Could it be that there are people watching this great battle from that mountain peak?”
“It’s impossible. It’s so far away. How can they see it?”
“Yeah. It’s at least three kilometers away. If someone can see it, how powerful can he or she be?”
In the east, “He’s finally awakened?” the white-bearded old man said, “if this kid doesn’t wake up, the mountain will collapse. What else can we watch?”
The middle-aged man asked, “If I remember correctly, this kid has been in this realm for nearly five minutes, right?”
“To be precise, it was 4 minutes and 37 seconds.”
Diwu Qian’s father frowned and said, “In this realm, he will get great benefits if he can just hold on for one minute. It’s really unexpected that this guy can hold on for nearly five minutes. If he can do this below the guru level, his path toward being a guru is bound to be smooth!”
“It’s strange.”
The haggard woman frowned and said, “Why do I feel that I can’t see through him?”
Hearing that, everyone was stunned.
None of them could see through John Doe.
How could they fail to see through a young master? The four of them were astounded.
At this moment, “Mr. John Doe.” Yun Yangzi made a fist salute to Fang Qiu.
“Mr. Yun.”
Fang Qiu also smiled and cupped his fists.
“Mr. John Doe seems to have made a big breakthrough, right?” Yun Yangzi asked.
“Aren’t you the same, Mr. Yun?”
Fang Qiu replied.
The two of them looked at each other and grinned.
Everything was clear without them having to say anything else!
No sooner had the spectators heard this when they exclaimed, one after another!
“What the f*ck, John Doe has broken through and Yun Yangzi has broken through again.”
“It’s so terrifying. No wonder they’re two geniuses. It’s only been half a month since the last battle at Luo Yin Mountain, yet they’ve broken through again?”
“It seems that this battle is going to be even more spectacular than we thought!”
Not only the onlookers, even the eight talents, including Diwu Qian, were very astonished.
They had already seen John Doe’s breakthrough when he approached the mountain, but they could not detect Yun Yangzi’s breakthrough. After all, Yun Yangzi’s strength was much greater than theirs.
Now, when they heard that Yun Yangzi had broken through again, they were naturally shocked.
Of course, among them, Mu Rufeng was the most surprised.
He had always regarded Yun Yangzi as his objective, but now he found that the gap between him and Yun Yangzi seemed to be getting wider and wider.
“It’s almost time.”
Yun Yangzi raised his head, looked at the bright moon in the sky and said, “Let’s fight!”
As soon as he finished speaking, an incomparably sharp aura, like a sharp sword drawn out of its sheath, suddenly erupted from this seemingly ethereal person. This aura instantly spread out in all directions, like a gust of wind, making the corners of the onlookers’ clothes rustle.
“Such a strong momentum.”
“Is this a super expert of the ninth class?”
“It’s so powerful. Even though I’m standing in the distance, I can still feel a chill at the back of my head!”
“If I encounter such an intimidating aura, I will not even have the courage to make a move.”
Cries of surprise sounded.
As everyone exclaimed, they also turned to look at Fang Qiu.
In the field, in the face of Yun Yangzi’s horrible momentum, Fang Qiu looked indifferent.
“Fight!”
He uttered a word.
The raging fighting spirit was instantly stimulated.
If Yun Yangzi was like a sharp sword out of its sheath, then Fang Qiu was a war saber that could destroy the world!
“Boom…”
Like a monstrous flame, an extremely powerful momentum erupted from Fang Qiu’s body and instantly forced Yun Yangzi’s power to retreat, which made him equal to Yun Yangzi!
At the next moment, “As expected, you did not let me down,” Yun Yangzi said as he stared at Fang Qiu.
“No.”
Fang Qiu shook his head and said, “I just did not let myself down!”
“Good.”
Hardly had Yun Yangzi heard this when he immediately laughed and cheered. After that, he moved and shouted, “I’m coming!”
Before he could finish his words, his whole person flew like a gust of wind. His feet rubbed against the ground. With a swoosh, he dashed toward Fang Qiu. His hands formed a kind of arc that ordinary people could not make. Just like an ancient man who made Huishou Zhemei, he waved his right hand, combined his index finger and middle finger and pointed at Fang Qiu’s chest with strong energy Qi!
“Hmm?”
Fang Qiu frowned.
He immediately dodged.
He found that Yun Yangzi’s strike which seemed to target acupoints was really like a sharp sword. With an incomparably strong force, this move seemed to be able to pierce through his body as soon as he was touched.
“What kind of cultivation method is this?”
Fang Qiu was shocked.
After following the old master for so many years, he had learned countless kinds of cultivation methods. He had also heard the old master talk about various cultivation methods in the world. But he had never heard of the cultivation methods that Yun Yangzi used.
Using the body as a blade?
How did he do that?
Meanwhile, Fang Qiu immediately focused all his attention on Yun Yangzi, trying to imitate and learn his opponent’s skills as he did before.
But in the end…
As soon as he focused, Yun Yangzi moved again and charged at him. He lifted his right foot and made a circle with his hands. Then, at an extremely rapid speed, his palm slashed downward.
It was obviously an ordinary palm move.
But when the palm fell, Fang Qiu clearly saw that outside of Yun Yangzi’s palm, there was a long knife formed by internal Qi. It seemed that it was about to cut the mountain. It came down from above with an extremely powerful force. With a loud bang, it slashed downward!
