Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 69 - Undefeated King’s Fist

The grand doors of the Main Hall soon opened, and the crowd filled in.

The spacious hall was filled with several imposing figures, each exuding a powerful aura. Among them stood the Grand Elder, Su Yuntian.

Chen Fan felt a chill in his heart as he sensed the overwhelming aura of these individuals, all of whom were in the Yuanfu realm.

The man at the center of the group was particularly striking. His aura was as majestic as the sea, and he stood there shining like the sun.

“The ten of you are the best of the best. You are the greatest hopes of our sect, our strongest up-and-coming forces,” declared the man.

His gaze swept past Chen Fan and the other top 10 disciples, seemingly looking through them, and none of them could hide anything from his gaze.

This man was none other than Outer Sect Master Zhuo Bufan.

“Aside from obtaining great rewards from the sect, the top 10 are also allowed entry into the blessed land for training,” he announced in a deep voice. “As you all know, there are four great sects in Qingyang County’s territory. Every one of them is situated near the Qingyang Mountain Range. They are the Floating Cloud Sword Sect, Burning Incense Valley, Mountain River Sect, and our Spring Autumn Sect.

“This time, the top 10 disciples from all four sects will get a month to train in the blessed land. The ten of you will represent our Spring Autumn Sect and enter the Dragon Mountain Blessed Land.”

“This trip of yours will decide the rights to some of the primeval mines, spirit herb fields, and fine iron mines in Qingyang Mountain Range. So, keep in mind that the clan will prosper if you prosper. And if you fail... our clan will fall.”

Chen Fan and the others’ pupils suddenly shrunk.

Unexpectedly, their training in the blessed land would directly impact the allocation of cultivation resources among the four great sects for the next three years.

The weight of responsibility settled heavily upon their shoulders.

“Alright, I won't dwell on other matters for fear of adding undue pressure. Inside the Dragon Mountain Blessed Land, you must try your best and stand united to compete for our Spring Autumn Sect.”

Zhuo Bufan’s gaze suddenly turned serious as he fixed his gaze upon the ten disciples. “Once inside, you are prohibited from harming your fellow disciples and refusing cooperation with one another. If I discover any transgressions, do not expect leniency. Do you understand?”

“Understood!” Chen Fan and the others responded.

“Very good.”

Zhuo Bufan nodded and said, “Alright, the battle of Dragon Mountain Blessed Land will begin in a month. Return and cultivate diligently. Do not disappoint the sect's hopes and expectations for you.”

......

Chen Fan went to the Resources Hall to claim his rewards from the Outer Sect Grand Competition, which were quite substantial.

Looks like the sect is really investing a lot into this battle at the Dragon Mountain Blessed Land. Chen Fan thought as he surveyed the generous rewards.

The battle’s outcome would impact the cultivation resource distribution for the four great sects for the next three years. Naturally, the sect would spare no effort in helping the disciples about to enter the blessed land.

Only with higher cultivation and strength could they fight for a better result for the sect in the Dragon Mountain Blessed Land.

This meager amount of cultivation resources he received paled in comparison to the amount of cultivation resources the sect could obtain in the next three years. It wasn’t even worth mentioning.

“Although Zhuo Bufan said it is forbidden for fellow disciples to harm one another in the Dragon Mountain Blessed Land, I doubt influential disciples like Zhong Li would take this rule to heart. Moreover, the sect wouldn't risk offending Duan Jingtian over a dead man.

“So, I must reach the eighth level within the next month. It would be ideal if I could advance to the ninth level and become a Qi Grandmaster.

“After I reach the Qi Grandmaster realm, the Heaven Seizing Furnace's embryo will take shape inside me, significantly enhancing my refining abilities. I might be able to defeat even Yuanfu realm martial artists then.”

Chen Fan felt a very strong sense of urgency.

Zhong Li was already a Qi Grandmaster and would only grow stronger after acquiring substantial cultivation resources. He might even break through to the Yuanfu realm.

“Strength... Ah, strength...”

Chen Fan shook his head and returned to his residence.

He spent three days stabilizing his seventh-level cultivation before delving into the practice of a quasi-profound tier martial skill, the Undefeated King's Fist.

One of the rewards for being a top 10 disciple was a martial skill; he had chosen this one.

“According to rumors, the Undefeated King’s Fist was a profound tier martial art before three of its nine moves were lost. The last three moves are nowhere to be found. I wonder if the inner sect’s Martial Art Pavilion will have the complete version of the Undefeated King’s Fist?”

Chen Fan pondered aloud as he perused the martial arts manual.

The Undefeated King’s Fist was extremely powerful, its defining feature being unstoppable momentum. Its techniques were fierce and domineering. At major mastery, three heads and six arms would materialize behind the practitioner, making them look like a deity.

Chen Fan memorized the six moves of the Undefeated King’s Fist in two hours, along with its primeval qi circulation pathway and activation method.

The six moves were All Winning, All Conquering, All Destroying, All Defiant, Eternal Victory, and Return as One.

Chen Fan moved fluidly across the floor, practicing each move with precision.

The wind whistled and roared, sometimes even exploding with a bang.

Ten days passed just like this.

Within an uninhabited valley:

“Undefeated King’s Fist!”

Chen Fan bellowed, the air swirling around him as the shadows of his fists piled up like a mountain.

Each of his strikes tore through the air, leaving the ground beneath him rent as if cleaved by a great axe.

The quasi-profound tier martial art was incredible.

After spending ten days practicing it, Chen Fan had become exceedingly familiar with the six moves of the Undefeated King's Fist, honing them to near perfection. While he couldn’t conjure three heads and six arms yet, he could already manifest one head and two arms.

Bang bang bang!

His punch produced another explosion in the air.

Chen Fan currently seemed like a monstrous figure with two heads and four arms.

His four arms struck out continuously, each blow as fierce as the last, crashing into the surface of the expansive lake ahead like meteors, causing an explosion.

The lake's calm surface juddered, sending tons of water into the air and causing a downpour in the area.

While Chen Fan's execution of the Undefeated King's Fist couldn't overturn the seas and rivers, it was certainly potent enough to demolish a small hill.

As he kept practicing, Chen Fan found himself drenched in sweat.

The Undefeated King’s Fist had immense power but consumed a terrifying amount of primeval qi.

Fortunately, Chen Fan had a large dantian, and his reserve of primeval qi was thick and deep enough to support his practice. Another martial artist in his place would have been completely drained of primeval qi by now.

This was also why the sect had only rewarded them with quasi-profound tier martial arts instead of profound tier ones.

Even Qi Grandmasters would have difficulty executing profound tier martial arts.

If one’s reserve of primeval qi weren’t rich enough, they would be completely drained after executing just one move. They would be dead if their opponents survived that attack.

Although quasi-profound tier martial arts also consumed a large amount of primeval qi, it was insignificant compared to genuine profound tier martial arts. Quasi-profound tier martial arts allowed martial artists below the Yuanfu realm to display the highest combat powers.
