Invincibility Begins with Mastery of Fist Techniques-Chapter 204 - 197: 7 Treasure Wheels

The voice was like a loudspeaker had been installed high above the plaza, booming from all directions and making it impossible to tell where it came from.

When the voice sounded, a brief silence fell over the scene, followed by a sudden uproar.

His voice rang out, but he remained unseen!

The voice echoed from above. With so many powerful Martial Artists present, there was absolutely no possibility of trickery, yet not a single one of them could comprehend how the sound was produced, or where the speaker was.

Projecting one's voice across a distance.

It seemed like something only a peerless master with so-called "Inner Strength" from a martial arts novel could accomplish.

But this was the real world, and everyone knew "Inner Strength" didn't actually exist. That made this ability all the more awe-inspiring.

It was as if someone had brought an illusion into reality, turning the false into Truth. In a superstitious age, this would have been called a "miracle."

This one simple display was enough for the experts of the Martial Arts Realm to understand. A Saint Awakening truly deserved the title of Martial Arts Myth, for they broke through limits and made the impossible possible!

Amidst the commotion, everyone present began to search the entire plaza for any trace of this Martial Arts Myth.

"This is just ridiculous! I can understand taming a fierce tiger, because that's a physical feat. If you're fast enough and strong enough, you can do it. But what is this? Projecting your voice across a distance? Vibrations from Inner Strength? How can someone make a sound like that without anyone being able to pinpoint the location? Is it a magic trick?"

Weng Long whispered to his classmates, a look of disbelief on his face.

"Maybe it is some kind of magic trick? A remote-controlled fly-bot with a speaker?"

Wang Ziru, her expression calm, whispered her guess, drawing the attention of everyone at the table. She still believed that behind this kind of mystical spectacle, there had to be some sort of technology at play that they simply couldn't perceive. It was just like a magician's trick—it seems divine, but once you expose the method, it's worthless.

In other words, it was just smoke and mirrors.

"Young ones, it's fine to be ignorant, but you can't just say whatever you want. The Saint Awakening Realm is the pinnacle of human physical potential, a state of transcendence beyond the mundane. Some things have always existed, you just aren't aware of them. Don't let your preconceived notions limit your imagination."

Sun Ming, who was at the same table, frowned upon hearing their conversation and spoke up.

For a Martial Artist, the Saint Awakening Realm was a lifetime pursuit. He didn't want his life's goal to be dismissed as a mere "magic trick" meant to deceive the eyes.

"If they couldn't do what others can't, how could they be called a myth?"

Zhong Ming said in a low voice, his eyes shining brightly.

Ever since he met the head of the Zhong Family, he knew with absolute certainty that some people in this world were just that far beyond imagination.

"To think that this person only just reached Saint Awakening two months ago, and they've already grasped the secret of 'Qi Manipulation'."

Ordinary Martial Artists might not understand the principle behind it, but the families of Zhong Wu Heng and the others had produced Saint Awakenings before and left behind many related records. They naturally understood the mystery.

It involved controlling one's own Life Magnetic Field and extending it into the air. Then, one would use that Life Magnetic Field to vibrate the air and produce sound. Without the ability to control magnetic fields, it would be impossible to perceive the changes in the surrounding Life Magnetic Field, and thus impossible to pinpoint the person's true location.

To think, the assembly hadn't even officially begun, and their guest had already presented them with a challenge.

If the person was here, yet the Northern Martial Alliance couldn't even confirm who they were or where they were, it would be a huge loss of face. If word got out, they would be mocked for being blind to the master in their midst. How could they even speak of the sparring to come?

A Saint Awakening was truly not someone to be trifled with. The Hero Assembly had set a trap for them, but it was clear they wouldn't just play along to their rhythm.

At a time like this, only strength could do the talking.

Unable to find the source of the voice, everyone's gaze converged on Zhong Wu Heng and the other hosts of the assembly.

"Everyone, let's begin the formation. Though he is newly ascended, a Saint Awakening is still a Saint Awakening. We cannot afford to hold back."

Zhong Wu Heng took a deep breath and spoke to Han Rong and Kong Lingming behind him. He then looked at Wang Lin, Feng Tianshu, and two other top-tier Martial Artists, only slightly less skilled, who had been chosen from the two families and one sect. "Everyone," he said, "merge your Heart's Desire Bursting Out with the Seven Profound Spirit Jade! Connect our Qi channels and help me temporarily break through the final stage of the Seven Profound Void Palm!"

The people behind him nodded. This was their last resort for confronting a Saint Awakening, and one of the Songyang Sect's greatest trump cards.

The Seven Profound Spirit Jade was one jade divided into seven pieces, which fit together in the shape of a Jade Lock.

This was an item left behind by the Zhong Family's previous Saint Awakening. He had carried it with him day and night for decades, nourishing it with his Life Magnetic Field. The jade's quality had long since undergone a subtle transformation, turning it into an exceptionally rare "Dharma Artifact."

Its seven parts could be held by seven master Martial Artists. If they poured the Life Magnetic Field from their Heart's Desire Bursting Out into their respective pieces, the Spirit Communication Jade would connect these fields within a certain range. This combined field would then be channeled into the person holding the Main Jade, instantly amplifying their power and, at a certain cost, allowing them to temporarily surpass their limits.

How could these Martial Arts Families, which had been passed down for so many years without fail, not have a trump card up their sleeves?

Those without such measures had likely long since turned to dust in the annals of history.

"Hah!"

The seven people holding the Spirit Communication Jade had solemn expressions. With a low shout, they entered the explosive state of Free Will. Their bodies changed drastically, as if they had suddenly transformed from humans into giant beasts, their physical strength and the Power of Heart and Will erupting completely.

"This..."

Seeing the massive change in the bodies of the people on the platform, everyone except Zhong Ming—Jiang Yun and Weng Long included—was stunned.

'Is that form... really human?!'

Shock on his face, Jiang Yun shifted his body slightly, angling his collar toward the platform.

Hidden in his collar was a pinhole camera. In college, Jiang Yun had majored in communications and had become quite accomplished in the field. He did this partly out of curiosity, and partly out of professional habit.

"Since this is a test from a Martial Arts Myth, how could we dare to be disrespectful?"

Zhong Wu Heng's voice boomed. The seven men simultaneously erupted with the Power of Heart and Will, pouring it into the Seven Profound Jade. Under the jade's influence, their Life Magnetic Fields gradually linked together.

Then, the immense power of their combined magnetic field poured into Zhong Wu Heng, the holder of the Main Jade.

THUMP-THUMP-THUMP!! 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

His heart began to beat rapidly as his bodily functions were intensely enhanced. At the same time, his Life Magnetic Field expanded violently.

But this was not a power he was meant to wield. He could clearly feel his body groaning under immense pressure. His heart hammered beyond its normal limit, numerous capillaries ruptured causing internal bleeding, and his organs malfunctioned from the energy Overload.

He couldn't maintain this state for long. However, in this moment, he could clearly feel his own power. His Spirit expanded rapidly, as if he had entered a new realm.

Although he wasn't a true Saint Awakening, at this moment, Zhong Wu Heng had used this clever shortcut to temporarily obtain Saint Awakening Level power.

HUMMM!

His will spread out unconsciously, causing a strange phenomenon to appear around him.

A seven-colored light suffused the air. The light began to circle his body, starting from his thighs, forming ring after ring.

One.

Two.

Three.

...

Finally, the ring at the point between his eyebrows lit up. An immense aura spread out, and every spiritually-sensitive Martial Artist present felt a terrifying sense of dread.

The highest realm of the Seven Profound Void Palm: the Seven Treasures Wheel!
