Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 1853 - 1835: Elder Zhou’s Shock

This scene once again left everyone dumbfounded. Through the previous battle, they had already predicted that Wu Shan’s strength was absolutely extraordinary, but they still underestimated Wu Shan. Just based on the martial power Wu Shan erupted with now, he could absolutely contend with any of them in a fight. This kind of strength was definitely much stronger than Qin Kun, and such a result left them truly surprised. They really did not expect Wu Shan to possess such strength!

While everyone was thoroughly enjoying the brilliant clash, Feng Qi, who was fighting Wu Shan in the arena, was incredibly frustrated. He also did not expect Wu Shan’s strength to be this high. Although he was also at the Middle Stage of the Heaven Flipping Realm, Wu Shan’s actual combat strength far exceeded that level, already fighting him, a Half-Step Human Immortal Realm cultivator, to a standstill. How could such a monstrous guy appear!

What made him even more frustrated was that, for some unknown reason, his azure Gang Qi was suppressed upon encountering Wu Shan. It felt as if there were clearly ten parts of strength, but he could only use eight. This strange feeling left Feng Qi truly puzzled!

However, being Feng Qi, who was after all a master at the Half-Step Human Immortal Realm with exceedingly rich combat experience, he managed to cope after a moment of initial panic. He knew this battle with Wu Shan would definitely not be short, so he aimed to control the rhythm, planning to deplete Wu Shan’s Gang Qi first. By then, dealing with Wu Shan would be extremely easy, given that he was at the Half-Step Human Immortal Realm while Wu Shan was only at the Middle Stage of the Heaven Flipping Realm. This fundamental difference in realms resulted in a significant Gang Qi disparity.

But as the fight went on, he realized something was amiss. He discovered Wu Shan was a cultivator who focused on body cultivation, using Gang Qi primarily to enhance his physique, thus consuming very little of it. If he fought Wu Shan with that previous assumption, he would probably be the one to get exhausted first!

Once he figured it out, their battle became even more spectacular. Both wished to fiercely defeat each other, but neither could. If viewed superficially, it seemed Wu Shan had a slight advantage since his weapon was larger and he was faster, something Feng Qi couldn’t quite match...

Time flew by quickly, and this battle had already lasted for more than an hour. By this point, both Feng Qi and Wu Shan were in a sorry state, with their clothes long gone and their bodies covered in numerous wounds, blood flowing out. There was even a blood groove over a foot long and two fingers wide on Wu Shan’s back, and similarly, a groove appeared on Feng Qi’s shoulder. If not for Feng Qi’s quick reaction, that side of his shoulder might have been hacked off by Wu Shan.

After their all-out struggle, both of their Gang Qi had been nearly depleted, so they turned to close combat. In close combat, Wu Shan’s speed and strength dominated, while Feng Qi, relying on a mysterious footwork technique, tangled with Wu Shan, keeping things at a stalemate for the moment.

Before long, another hour had passed, and by this time, both were about to reach their limits. Wu Shan’s hand, gripping the Profound Thunder Axe, began to tremble, while Feng Qi’s sword shook similarly. Yet, even so, they continued to charge at each other...

Wu Shan was filled with fighting spirit, eager to defeat Feng Qi. Meanwhile, Feng Qi was filled with frustration, wishing desperately to kill Wu Shan, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t defeat Wu Shan, filling him with the urge to cough up blood from frustration.

Ultimately, both exhausted their strength, with Wu Shan trembling all over, the Profound Thunder Axe long since put away, and Feng Qi almost depleted of the Spiritual Energy needed even to walk. It was the first time he encountered such a situation, his heart filled with fury at running into such a freak as Wu Shan. Had it been someone like Qin Kun, the fight would’ve been over long ago.

"This round, it’s a draw."

Watching the two who could no longer engage onstage, Elder Zhou smiled and announced loudly. It was his first time seeing a battle end this way, but it showed that Wu Shan was quite excellent, even stronger than Qin Kun. This left Elder Zhou with newfound respect for Wu Shan.

Upon hearing Elder Zhou’s words, Song He and the others rushed onto the Martial Platform, carrying away the immobile Wu Shan, while another group lifted Feng Qi, and everyone quickly vacated the Martial Arena.

With care from Song He and the others, Qin Kun and Wu Shan were transported to their respective abodes, given some healing elixirs to assist in their recovery. Wu Shan’s situation was slightly better, while Qin Kun’s injuries were much more severe. After all, Qin Kun, unlike Wu Shan, was a normal cultivator.

Following such events, Song He naturally wanted to find Fang Yan but was stopped by Qin Kun...

No one expected that at this moment, Elder Zhou appeared in Shi Kuohai’s room.

"Old Shi, your two disciples are not bad, really not bad," Elder Zhou said with a smile, recalling Qin Kun and Wu Shan’s performance, feeling genuinely satisfied and praising them sincerely.

"Who?" Shi Kuohai paused at Elder Zhou’s words, not understanding who Elder Zhou was referring to. Two disciples? Could it be the newcomers, Qin Kun and Wu Shan?

"It’s Qin Kun and Wu Shan," Elder Zhou replied with a smile. Upon seeing Shi Kuohai’s puzzled expression, he asked with curiosity, "You don’t know yet?"

"Know what? I haven’t left this room for the past two days," Shi Kuohai was genuinely baffled at this point, clueless about what had happened with Qin Kun and Wu Shan.

"Oh, so that’s how it is. Let me explain it to you this way..." Upon hearing Shi Kuohai say this, Elder Zhou suddenly understood. It turned out Shi Kuohai really didn’t know what had happened with Qin Ke and Wu Shan, so he patiently explained the events of the past two days at the Martial Arena to Shi Kuohai in detail.

After learning about the events of the past two days, Shi Kuohai was astounded. He hadn’t expected Qin Kun and Wu Shan’s performance to be so remarkable, but since this information came from Elder Zhou, it was undoubtedly true. Thinking about how Fang Yan’s two subordinates had reached this level, Shi Kuohai’s expression was indescribable. He finally understood why Fang Yan wanted these two to join the Heavenly Court; it wasn’t for any other reason than because these two indeed had the capability!

However, what made him curious was that Fang Yan’s prowess was ridiculously impressive, but how did Qin Kun and Wu Shan reach this point? Was it due to Fang Yan’s influence, or were these two solely nurtured by Fang Yan? If Fang Yan truly cultivated them by himself, then how was he, the former number one genius of the Sect, to react...

"Old Stone, what are you zoning out for!" Seeing Shi Kuohai in a daze, Elder Zhou immediately asked, unclear about Shi Kuohai’s situation.

"Ah..." Upon hearing Elder Zhou’s words, Shi Kuohai snapped back to reality, but he had already made up his mind to ask Fang Yan when he had the chance. Until he figured this out, he wouldn’t be at ease.

"Old Stone, let’s make a deal. How about I take in that pair, Qin Kun and Wu Shan, as my direct disciples?" Elder Zhou asked excitedly at this moment. He had already decided that encountering disciples like these was not an opportunity to miss. If he could take them as direct disciples, it would be a great benefit.

"Well..." Upon hearing Elder Zhou’s proposal, Shi Kuohai hesitated for a moment but still said, "I think you shouldn’t be thinking about them. It’s not that you don’t have the qualifications; even I, even Elder Wang don’t have the qualifications. Perhaps you won’t believe it, but they’ve advanced from the Middle Stage of the Divine Firmament Realm to the Middle Stage of the Heaven Flipping Realm in less than two years since joining the sect. Have you ever seen such talents?"

"Wh...What!"

Upon hearing Shi Kuohai’s words, Elder Zhou was stunned. He really didn’t know about Qin Kun and Wu Shan’s backgrounds, and he could not have imagined that in less than two years since joining, they had crossed two Great Realms. Such rapid advancement was frighteningly unprecedented. Such talents had never been heard of before. How could this be possible? In the Holy Soul Sect, such talents probably had never appeared...

However, while Elder Zhou was marveling at the speed of Qin Kun and Wu Shan’s advancement, Shi Kuohai’s voice came once more.

"There’s one more thing you don’t know, and that is I have a disciple named Fang Yan who entered the Divine Sword Sect the same year as Qin Kun and Wu Shan. You might not know, but Fang Yan now has the cultivation of a Half-Step Human Immortal Realm, and Qin Kun and Wu Shan are just his followers. What do you think about that?" Watching Elder Zhou, Shi Kuohai spoke once more. Since he had gone this far, he decided to say it all at once to save Elder Zhou from still harboring thoughts about Qin Kun and Wu Shan.

Sure enough, as those words fell, Elder Zhou was utterly shocked, his eyes almost popping out, sitting there like a stone statue, unable to move.

How...how is this possible!

Those two brilliant youngsters are merely Fang Yan’s followers!

Fang Yan... Fang Yan has already reached a Half-Step Human Immortal Realm, how is that possible!

What...what kind of monsters are these, such exceptionals talents are beyond imagination, simply...simply...

...

Countless shocked thoughts swirled around Elder Zhou’s mind, and the instantaneous impact almost overwhelmed his brain. It wasn’t that he didn’t believe Shi Kuohai’s words. With Qin Kun and Wu Shan being so fierce, they could undoubtedly be described as once-in-a-century talents. With proper nurturing, if nothing went wrong, they could surely become the youngest Earth Immortal Ancestors.

But these two extraordinary people are merely Fang Yan’s subordinates, and Fang Yan is even more astonishing, having already reached the Half-Step Human Immortal Realm. In less than two years, from the Divine Firmament Realm to Half-Step Human Immortal Realm—who would believe such words? It’s not just unimaginable to him; anyone would find it hard to believe. This is beyond genius; it’s monstrosity. Such talents haven’t appeared in the Divine Sword Sect for centuries!

In the end, Shi Kuohai wasn’t wrong in saying he wasn’t qualified to be their mentor...
