Chapter 182: Chapter 182: Fighting the Big Shot with 50% Strength
Tong Yan saw Yang Fei’s honest face and couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart.
This kid doesn’t seem to be lying.
Damn, are the young people nowadays all so fierce?
After surpassing the Seventh Rank of Energy Transformation, although there is a considerable gap between each rank,
An Eighth Grade Energy Transformation defeating a Seventh Rank is not so easy.
Even if someone at the Energy Transformation Realm Ninth Grade wants to kill a Seventh Rank, unless they use some special and formidable methods, it’s quite difficult to achieve a one-hit kill.
Could this kid be at the peak of Energy Transformation Ninth Grade?
Impossible!
According to the information extracted from the wanted list of the Martial Alliance, among the current generation in the Martial World, the most formidable are just a few people.
Second Young Master Zhang Yunqing of the Zhang Family is already at the Eighth Grade Energy Transformation, and even more impressive is the Heavenly Pride Girl of the Qin Family.
But that girl from the Qin Family is one of those born with destiny’s favor, a type that appears only once in hundreds or even a thousand years.
Could this kid in front of me also belong to that category?
No way!
Tong Yan found it hard to accept this ’cruel’ reality.
Qin Yanyang is one thing, after all, her family has been a Martial Arts Family for hundreds of years, and her grandfather, Qin Huai’an, is even one of the recorded National Guardians.
The advantages of family bloodlines and genes should have been passed down through their three generations.
But how can this kid, born an orphan and whose ancestors for eighteen generations were poor farmers with no one practicing martial arts, possess such talent?
Yang Fei had no idea about Tong Yan’s inner drama. Seeing that Tong Yan had not spoken, he curiously asked, "Senior, can you kill an Energy Transformation Seventh Rank in one second? If not, I fear you are not my match, perhaps we shouldn’t fight."
Tong Yan’s face darkened with pride and he said, "Hmph, not to mention Seventh Rank, even Eighth Grade, or even Ninth Grade, I can easily suppress."
Yang Fei felt a chill and said, "As expected of a Unique Tier existence in legends, then I am even more eager to experience it for myself."
Tong Yan saw that he was not afraid, but instead exuded a strong and piercing battle intent, and he couldn’t help but secretly praise.
He truly is an excellent seedling.
Such a persistent and stubborn unbeatable heart, embodying an invincible stance, this is what a true Martial Artist is.
"Hahaha, very well, I would like to see how amazing you young people are. It’s been eight years since I’ve exchanged blows with the younger generation. Today, I will give you some pointers," Tong Yan laughed heartily and strode toward Yang Fei.
Yang Fei’s fighting spirit surged wildly, his clothes billowing without wind, turning into an indomitable blade, domineering and fierce.
Tong Yan felt his raging fighting spirit and his competitive nature was aroused, his True Yuan circulated, and an immense and grand aura naturally formed around him, merging with the top of the world as if he were one with nature in a Taoist way.
Yang Fei watched the old Taoist approaching and his pupils shrank slightly, sensing a terrifying pressure sweeping towards him.
This pressure reminded him of the fierce battle a year ago.
Compared with the more than a dozen first-class masters who had joined forces to attack him that day, this old man seemed to be even stronger.
The Divine Continent Martial World really is a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!
And yet, facing him in my current state, I’m afraid I don’t stand a chance at all.
But the faint worry in his heart was quickly replaced by his strong fighting spirit.
Today, I will fight a real master of the Unique Tier in the Divine Continent Martial World with fifty percent of my fighting power.
"Girl, stand back," Tong Yan told Tong Yunshu as they were originally about twenty meters apart and as he took steps forward. Although he was just taking small steps, he was getting increasingly closer. Feeling Tong Yunshu following, he spoke out to warn her.
Tong Yunshu was startled and thought to herself that she was already tens of meters away from them.
"Yes, Miss Tong, you should stand farther away," Yang Fei’s voice came through as well.
After hearing this, Tong Yunshu realized the danger and nodded her head, obediently walking away to a farther distance.
Tong Yan’s mouth twitched.
This girl doesn’t trust my words but listens to this kid.
It’s like she’s turning her elbows outwards.
But thinking about this kid who seems to have already registered to marry that girl from the Qin Family, Tong Yan started to worry for his own daughter.
From ancient times, excessive emotions have bred nothing but resentment. It seems that this girl’s true heart will likely be cast to the wind.
At this thought, Tong Yan didn’t know whether to feel that Tong Yunshu was turning her elbow out against her own or to pity Tong Yunshu for her feelings that might be cast to the wind, a trace of coldness flashed through her eyes.
The entire atmosphere around her changed with that thought.
Earlier, she had seemed to blend seamlessly with her surroundings, in harmony with the Taoist way of nature. But now, the temperature in the space around her plummeted suddenly as if a wave of cold was sweeping in, foretelling the approach of a harsh winter.
Yang Fei keenly sensed this chill and his heart skipped a beat.
Had the elderly man become angry?
He couldn’t quite understand, the old Taoist who had been friendly and kind just a moment ago, why had he suddenly become angry?
As he was puzzling over this, Tong Yan’s advancing leg touched the ground, and she made a casual sweeping gesture.
An invisible Qi tore through the void, like a knife slashing at Yang Fei.
Yang Fei’s pupils constricted.
Projecting Inner Strength outward?
This old Taoist certainly lived up to his reputation.
To outsiders, the splitting of the air by Qi might just seem like a gusty wind with nothing special about it, but Yang Fei could feel the intense chill and terror within the fierce wind.
It was an almost tangible invisible Qi Blade.
Upon returning to his homeland, Yang Fei took a matter seriously for the first time.
He focused his energy down into his Dantian and lashed out with a palm strike.
"Pfff!"
From the void in front of him came the sound of Qi being shattered by his palm.
Countless Energy Fragments scattered in all directions, and the ground bore the marks of the assault with dozens of small craters, dirt flying everywhere.
This was a tentative exchange between the two.
In the next instant, both figures burst forth almost simultaneously, without prior agreement.
From a distance, Tong Yunshu could only see a blur as her Third Grandpa and Yang Fei disappeared at the same time.
Then, a series of muffled sounds reached her, causing her eardrums to throb painfully. She couldn’t help but cover her ears and stagger backward with a terrified expression.
In the dimness of the forest, Tong Yunshu, not being a Martial Artist with limited vision, looked up in horror. She could only see two blurry figures darting about in that area, moving at a blinding speed that made it impossible to discern clearly.
For the first time, Tong Yunshu was horrified to discover the terrifying extent to which humans could control power.
Such speed was beyond anything she had dared to imagine before.
And then there was the time when Third Grandpa had taken her from a twenty-meter-high airplane and landed smoothly on the ground.
All of this was at odds with the scientific education she had received.
"Crack!"
Rustle!
Suddenly, a loud noise erupted, and Tong Yunshu’s heart rose to her throat, her face full of concern.
She saw a tree as thick as a utility pole struck by a single palm, which then snapped and crashed to the ground.
Hiss!!!
Tong Yunshu gasped in shock.
If such a palm strike were to hit a person, wouldn’t it kill them on the spot?
Two minutes later, Tong Yunshu saw a blurry figure drift into the dense grove behind her.
The other figure immediately gave chase and followed closely behind.
"Crack!"
Another large tree fell.
A moment later, yet another fell.
She felt as though her entire understanding had been overturned, leaving her numb.
