Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 509 - 299: Nine Consecutive Victories! Number One in the Inner Sect of Heavenly Puppet Sect, Wen Ren Ping
As the palm struck, it howled through the air. Zhong Haifeng was brimming with confidence. Now, as he controlled a Heavenly Rank Puppet, even though he wasn’t quite at the level of a true Nirvana Realm Monarch, he was very close. He wanted to see how Jiang Shu, who was merely at the Primordial Pill Realm, would defend against him.
"This fist of mine is called the Qi Swallowing Vientiane Fist."
Facing the terrifying strike, Jiang Shu stood as firm as an ancient pine, unmoved; he simply threw out a punch. In an instant, the Yuan Qi between heaven and earth swept in, torrential and unending, as if thousands of climates were converging on his fist. A mysterious aura was born over the square. All the Inner Sect Disciples were captivated by Jiang Shu’s punch, which seemed to drift from a distant space. It was as if the punch wasn’t from a cultivator, but from the heavens and the earth.
"BOOM!"
"BOOM!"
"BOOM!"
On the square, Divine Skills burst forth, radiating endless light. Jiang Shu remained still in his original spot. With one punch, he repelled the Heavenly Rank Puppet, and with another, he annihilated an Earth-grade Puppet. Another punch forced Zhong Haifeng to stagger back several steps, his body shaking violently. His entire spiritual power was affected. The Heavenly Rank Puppet, originally poised to attack, paused abruptly in the Void.
He had never imagined that Jiang Shu would be so powerful. Clearly, his Cultivation in Divine Skills wasn’t as advanced as his. But the essence of his Primordial Power and the strength of his spiritual power were almost several times more than his! How... how is this possible! The disciples of the Heavenly Puppet Sect, known among the Eight Great Sects for specializing in spiritual power, how could they be inferior to the disciples of the True Martial Sect now? Zhong Haifeng’s gaze became somewhat vacant. With the help of his Master, he had spent decades Refining Heavenly Rank Puppets, only to have them repelled by Jiang Shu. Such power, could he really match it?
"No matter how powerful a Heavenly Rank Puppet is, in the end, it is controlled by a cultivator," Jiang Shu’s voice thundered. "If you don’t have a deep understanding of power, Divine Skills, and the Tao Embryo, let alone this newly ascended Heavenly Rank Puppet, even a Middle Heaven Rank Puppet wouldn’t be effective! Zhong Junior Brother, if you had fought me directly, you might have lasted a moment longer. Instead, you chose to maneuver with Puppets, attempt to overpower me with Divine Skills, all while keeping your Heavenly Rank Puppet in reserve, waiting for an opportune moment. Unfortunately, you were too greedy!"
He launched punches mercilessly, not holding back in the slightest. Four Earth-grade Puppets were utterly demolished. The chest of the Heavenly Rank Puppet was also deeply indented with a massive Fist Seal. His power was terrifyingly immense; his words were like a wake-up call for Zhong Haifeng, a repayment to Lord Wan Puppet.
"Terrifying... too terrifying..." At the edge of the square, Yun Lan was somewhat distracted as he spoke. He knew full well that his Heavenly Rank Puppet was in no way comparable to Brother Zhong’s. Before coming to the square, he had actually harbored thoughts that maybe Brother Jiang had only used some minor tricks against the Nirvana Wind. His real combat strength might not surpass that of their Heavenly Puppet Sect brothers. Perhaps, he also had a chance to go up against Jiang Shu after the wager fight and receive the appreciation of the elders, even the Peak Master. But now, he completely understood the terror of Jiang Shu. Let alone his current self, even if he cultivated for several more decades, he would still be far inferior to Jiang Shu. This application of Divine Skills surpassed his understanding completely. He could even perceive some Tao Embryo within. No wonder the Inner Sect Disciples of the True Martial Sect could proclaim Jiang Shu as the top Inner Sect Disciple. The merit of this position was incredibly high.
Yun Lan clicked his tongue in amazement, and the surrounding Inner Sect Disciples were even more shocked. They didn’t have Yun Lan’s insight, but they could clearly see the Heavenly Rank Puppet was repulsed by Jiang Shu. Did this not prove that Jiang Shu might have a chance to fight a Nirvana Realm Monarch? Is this really still the Primordial Pill Realm? What Primordial Pill Realm could be this terrifying? Just with his physical body, Primordial Power, Divine Skills, and spiritual power, he could firmly suppress their Inner Sect’s seventh-ranked brother, Zhong, without even using a Treasure. It should be known that they had received news that Jiang Shu possessed a Heavenly Rank Treasure!
"BOOM!"
Jiang Shu’s fists slowed down. At this moment, he began to hold back, feeding moves to Zhong Haifeng repeatedly. He had come to the Heavenly Puppet Sect with the silent consent of Peak Master Lord Zi Ji and Lord Wan Puppet to battle the disciples of the Heavenly Puppet Sect, not to make enemies. Once the great battle in the Endless Sea began, even a Nirvana Realm Monarch would not count for much. He needed more friends to help in order to accumulate a great deal of Merit.
"BOOM!"
"BOOM!"
"BOOM!"
Under Jiang Shu’s intentional guidance, Zhong Haifeng gradually got into the groove, enhancing his understanding of Divine Skills and his manipulation of Heavenly Rank Puppets. Previously, although he had refined Puppets, he hadn’t experienced much outside, and there were very few within the Sect who could match him in battle. It was only today that he discovered his various weaknesses.
「After a full half hour」
The square quieted down. Zhong Haifeng’s robe was nearly shattered, his hair disheveled. The Heavenly Rank Puppet was marked with several more Fist Seals, and several of its Array runes were damaged. But his pupils shone brightly, his eyes full of gratitude. He respectfully said to Jiang Shu, "Thank you, Brother Jiang, for your instruction." This address of ’Brother Jiang’ came from the heart.
"Brother Jiang, Disciple Si Hongbin, currently ranked tenth on the True Inheritor Seed List, may I seek your guidance?" As soon as Zhong Haifeng stepped down, a very young-looking man couldn’t help but jump forward. Effortlessly defeating Zhong Haifeng, even the Outer Disciples could see the fearsome strength of the present Jiang Shu. His challenge was undoubtedly doomed to failure.
"Come!" Jiang Shu readily agreed, knowing that Si Hongbin was also there to train himself, and his Divine Skills were unleashed as he wished. Compared to Zhong Haifeng, Si Hongbin indeed fell short; he didn’t even have a Heavenly Rank Puppet. But with the experience from the previous fight, Si Hongbin fought very steadily, constantly attacking Jiang Shu with seven Earth-grade Puppets. Jiang Shu handled it with ease until two quarters of an hour later when he blasted him out of the square.
One genius after another flew onto the square.
The True Inheritor Seed List ninth!
The True Inheritor Seed List sixth!
The True Inheritor Seed List fifth!
As if by tacit agreement, each one took his turn according to the rankings. Each one gained a lot of combat experience from their exchanges with Jiang Shu, leaving with full rewards. One even hurried to go into seclusion, obviously having gained some insights. Lord Wan Puppet in the square smiled subtly, nodding his head. The other Nirvana Realm elders also turned their gazes towards Jiang Shu. As elders, they were concerned about the interests of the Sect. If a few Divine Skills could be exchanged for an improvement in the disciples’ strength, it was undoubtedly very worthwhile.
"What a pity... if I had known this earlier, I would have tried to make it on the True Inheritor Seed List first," Yun Lan murmured to himself beneath the stage. He clearly saw that every senior brother above had greatly benefited from their exchanges. In his heart, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of indescribable regret. Around him, groups of Inner Sect Disciples were intently watching every punch and every move from Jiang Shu, imagining themselves on the platform, battling Brother Jiang. Some of the more intelligent ones also gained a bit of insight. At this moment, their view of Jiang Shu changed completely. No longer did they feel aggrieved that Jiang Shu had come to their Heavenly Puppet Sect to take away the Divine Skills they couldn’t grasp. Instead, various forms of respect welled up inside them. In the Cang Mang Domain, it is ultimately the strong who are revered. Battle after battle, Jiang Shu’s strength undoubtedly proved this point.
The True Inheritor Seed List fourth!
Defeated!
The True Inheritor Seed List third!
Defeated!
The True Inheritor Seed List second...
Defeated!
As the last Heavenly Rank Puppet was pushed back ten meters, nine battles concluded. All eyes were fixed on Jiang Shu. Just when everyone thought the competition had come to a complete end, applause slowly began to resonate. The one who hadn’t spoken from the beginning to the end, who had watched all nine matches, Wenren Ping, the first Inner Sect Senior Brother of the Heavenly Puppet Sect, stepped onto the square and stood before Jiang Shu.
"How about a match?"
