Dashing Student-Chapter 1155: Nothing More Than This

All the stones within a kilometer were drawn together, forming a stone giant over three zhang tall. The enormous fist, like a small mountain, was raised and fiercely smashed down towards Chen Nan.

Chen Nan leaped high into the air, showing no fear, and swung his own fist. The difference in size was immense, as the stone giant’s fist was larger than Chen Nan’s entire body.

Seeing that Chen Nan intended to take on his stone giant head-on, Zhu Sheng was immediately amused: "What a fool, trying to compete in strength with a stone giant? Courting death..."

But before he could finish, Chen Nan’s fist collided hard with the stone giant’s rock fist. Countless cracks rapidly spread across it, and with a "bang," it exploded.

Chen Nan soared up once again, landing directly atop the stone giant’s head, then delivered another powerful punch, releasing the power within him like a flood.

Boom!

Cracks extended all over the stone giant’s body, eventually causing it to shatter completely.

Zhu Sheng’s jaw dropped in shock—enough to fit an egg. He had never thought a cultivator’s body could match a stone giant.

Remember, the stone giant was born from the earth and fortified by earth power. Even cultivators of the same realm specializing in body cultivation couldn’t overpower a stone giant in strength.

Yet Chen Nan, two realms lower, actually won against the stone giant with sheer bodily strength?

Two words filled Zhu Sheng’s mind: Monster!

But he quickly regained his composure, vaguely realizing why Tan Zhuo immediately instructed him to return and report. However, it was too late to escape now.

"I don’t believe you are really that strong!"

Zhu Sheng gritted his teeth, unwilling to flee.

Back then, Chen Nan was merely a loose cultivator at the foundation establishment realm who even failed Yuantian Sect’s disciple trials—nothing more than an ant in Zhu Sheng’s eyes.

But now, this ant had grown to a point where Zhu Sheng had to look up to him—an outcome he could not accept!

Zhu Sheng’s hands emitted an earthy glow, which he slammed into the ground. Yellow ripples spread out instantly.

The originally flat ground suddenly rose into three jagged earthen ridges, razor-sharp like blades, carrying dirt and sand as they rushed toward Chen Nan.

Where they passed, three deep furrows were plowed into the ground.

Chen Nan clenched his fists, advancing instead of retreating, and smashed into one of the earthen ridges like a cannonball, causing it to merely wobble.

Earth power was best known for its defense, giving even Chen Nan a headache.

Suddenly, he glanced at Wang Sheng behind him. If he could eliminate Wang Sheng, wouldn’t all the magic simply vanish?

Immediately, lightning appeared behind Chen Nan, forming thunder wings that transformed his body into a bolt of lightning, disappearing from the spot.

"So fast!"

Wang Sheng was startled, unable to keep up with Chen Nan’s speed, only noticing when a tremendous force struck his chest that allowed him to finally see Chen Nan’s face.

With a boom, Wang Sheng was sent flying, crashing through over a dozen large trees before stopping, then quickly scrambling to his feet.

"Chen Nan, you’re merely... wah..."

Before finishing his sentence, he coughed up a large mouthful of blood. Internally, his blood and qi surged, his heart filled with horror. The power of that punch... was immense!

No wonder even the stone giant was shattered by Chen Nan.

However, Chen Nan was dissatisfied that his punch only caused Wang Sheng to bleed without any significant injury.

Upon closer inspection, a faint glow was visible on Wang Sheng’s body, clearly due to the effects of the vestment robe he wore.

It was a vestment robe at least of seventh-grade level.

"I refuse to believe I can’t break through your shell!"

Chen Nan charged again, the silver hammer in his hand rapidly growing until it became a silver giant hammer, which he slammed down towards Wang Sheng.

The swift whistling of the wind intensified, and Wang Sheng couldn’t dodge in time, being once more slammed into the dirt by the giant hammer.

Even the glow emanating from his vestment robe dimmed considerably.

"Is this guy even human?"

Trapped in a deep pit, Wang Sheng couldn’t rise, fear gradually filling his heart with regret. Had he gone to find his master immediately, he’d surely be safe now.

Chen Nan lifted the giant hammer once more, pounding down, the earth beneath shaking violently with each strike.

"Don’t think about it; this vestment is a seventh-grade spiritual artifact. You can’t break it, and once my master arrives, you’ll surely be sliced into a thousand pieces!"

"Just because it can’t be broken now doesn’t mean it never will!"

Chen Nan relentlessly swung the giant hammer. Watching the vestment’s defense continue to hold, he pressed on, unleashing the "Dragon Elephant Form."

His body surged with dragon elephant power, the hammer descending again, finally shattering the mana defense layer.

"How is this possible?" Zhu Sheng screamed, knowing a seventh-grade vestment should withstand even attacks from the golden core peak realm.

With a crashing sound, Zhu Sheng turned pale, retreating quickly while forming complex seal techniques with his hands. The earth in front split open, with countless rocks erupting from the fissures.

In mere moments, a thick earthen wall formed before him, its surface glowing with an earthy yellow—a testament to rock-refined defense.

Seeing this, Chen Nan charged forward once more, seven stars manifesting beneath his feet, boosting his speed to the utmost.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Nan smashed into the earthen wall, shattering it instantly to reveal the hiding Zhu Sheng behind it.

"Die!"

Chen Nan roared, gripping the giant hammer with both hands and raising it high before bringing it down towards Zhu Sheng’s head, the whistling sound of the gale testifying to the immense power.

Without the vestment robe’s defense, Zhu Sheng was panicked, knowing that strike could cost him dearly.

He hastily unleashed earth attribute magic, conjuring several rock-formed giant hands from the ground, attempting to catch the descending hammer.

With a boom, the rock hands shattered, scattering debris, creating a bottomless chasm in the ground!

Before he could catch his breath, Chen Nan’s attack arrived—a lightning-fast dagger flashing coldly, narrowly evaded by Zhu Sheng.

But as he dodged, a black nail struck him hard in the back, the dreaded Soul Destruction Nail!

Instantly, Zhu Sheng clutched his head and fell down, experiencing the soul-wrenching pain that Chen Nan was all too familiar with, understanding its agony.

With his soul damaged, he’s yet to fully refine the Netherworld Karmic Fire, and its aftermath brings bouts of excruciating pain.

Chen Nan stepped forward, stomping down hard on Zhu Sheng’s chest, causing it to cave in.

"Now you can reunite with your fellow disciples!"
