Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 1025: One Punch

Zhuang Zhi’s words were hardly out when Qi Dongsheng, who had been relaxed, suddenly tensed up, feeling an immense pressure bearing down on him.

"Three moves... just hold out for three moves..."

Qi Dongsheng clenched his fists and silently told himself.

He had been somewhat confident about defeating Fang Bai, thinking that at worst he’d manage a draw, but now, feeling such immense pressure, his only wish was to withstand Fang Bai’s attacks for three moves.

This significant shift in mindset caused Qi Dongsheng to lose his original confidence, making him hesitant and timid.

Such a mentality is never good for a martial artist.

To mask his inner turmoil, Qi Dongsheng frantically circulated his True Yuan, bolstering his fighting spirit. The martial artist’s steely essence morphed into an oppressive force, continuously bearing down on Fang Bai.

Qi Dongsheng had decided to abandon the idea of taking the offensive and instead took up a stance of full defense, thinking that even if Fang Bai was more powerful, it would be impossible for him to defeat him within three moves, as he planned to guard without attacking.

"Junior Brother Qi, take this!"

With a light shout, Fang Bai’s figure turned into a blur, shooting towards Qi Dongsheng like an arrow released from a bow.

Whoosh—

Accompanying Fang Bai’s approach was a scorching hot gust of air.

The heatwave swept over everything, enveloping Qi Dongsheng completely.

Qi Dongsheng felt the temperature around him soar suddenly, his skin tingling with a burning sensation, and the air seemed to have been sucked away, making it difficult to breathe.

In that moment, Qi Dongsheng felt as though he was in the midst of a sea of fire, about to be grilled to a crisp.

"Such dense Fire Primordial Qi! How can he be this strong?"

Qi Dongsheng was taken aback. As he looked at Fang Bai, who had surged to his front, he saw Fang Bai’s right fist hurtling towards his chest, rapidly enlarging in his vision.

A red hue of Essence Energy shrouded Fang Bai’s fist, and at first glance, it seemed as if his fist was wrapped in flames, containing a fearsome power of fire.

It then dawned on Qi Dongsheng that Fang Bai possessed a Dual Attribute Innate Spiritual Root of fire and wood; this fierce and powerful punch was the result of his cultivation of Fire-type Martial Arts.

Ironically, Qi Dongsheng’s body also leaned towards the fire attribute, which is why he cultivated Fire-based Techniques as well.

What baffled Qi Dongsheng was that the Fire-based Technique Fang Bai used was something he had never seen before.

Qi Dongsheng had worked his way up from an Inner Court disciple, and he knew that the Bitao Martial Academy had only a handful of Fire-based Techniques suitable for Inner Court disciples to cultivate—of which he had practiced all.

However, the Fire-based Technique Fang Bai was using was profound and powerful, far beyond his knowledge.

"Could it be that someone high up in the Martial Academy secretly taught Fang Bai a higher-tier Fire-based Technique?"

Qi Dongsheng thought privately but immediately negated his own idea.

Under normal circumstances, the rank of the Martial Arts Techniques a Martial Artist cultivates is closely related to his realm and Cultivation Level.

If the realm and Cultivation Level of a Martial Artist are too low, he can only cultivate lower-rank Martial Arts Techniques that match him. If he rashly cultivates higher-rank Martial Arts Techniques beyond his own realm and Cultivation Level, it could lead to very serious consequences, with minor cases resulting in damaged meridians and severe cases in the body exploding and dying.

It’s like asking a young child to lift a soccer ball, which he might be able to do, but if you ask him to lift an iron ball of the same size, his small body will definitely not be able to bear it and will inevitably be crushed.

In Qi Dongsheng’s eyes, Fang Bai was just an Inner Court disciple with an intermediate Heaven Level Cultivation. Logically, the Martial Arts Techniques he cultivated should be low-rank, and their power certainly shouldn’t surpass what Qi had cultivated.

However, the punch that Fang Bai was now hurling, enveloped in Fire Primordial Qi, was superior in momentum, power, speed, and temperature to any Fire System Martial Arts Qi had ever cultivated.

To Qi Dongsheng, Fang Bai’s punch had already far exceeded the Martial Arts domain that Core disciples could access, not to mention the Personal Transmission Disciples, and it was probably only Martial Artists at the Desolate Level realm who cultivated such techniques.

"The Martial Academy’s higher-ups cultivate Desolate Level Martial Arts Techniques. The style of this punch must have been secretly taught to Fang Bai by a high-level Elder, right?"

Qi Dongsheng’s thoughts raced, considering that among the dozen or so high-level individuals in the Martial Academy, Elder Ge Feng of the Elixir Hall practiced Fire System Martial Arts Techniques and he held Fang Bai in high regard. Consequently, the most likely person to have imparted such high-rank techniques to Fang Bai must be Ge Feng.

Although the Martial Academy’s rules forbid high-level individuals from privately transmitting upper-rank techniques to disciples to avoid forcing their growth, with Ge Feng’s status and position, even if he did impart higher-rank Martial Arts Techniques to Fang Bai, no one would punish him.

This thought merely flickered through Qi Dongsheng’s mind because Fang Bai’s rapidly approaching fist left no room for him to continue thinking further.

"As long as I withstand three moves, I win! I won’t clash with him head-on!"

Qi Dongsheng was originally a combat fanatic, especially excited when facing strong opponents. Even knowing he might be defeated, he would dare to clash directly. But now, the enormous pressure on him not only failed to arouse his competitive spirit and courage, it actually made him lose his nerve.

Faced with Fang Bai’s incoming punch, his first thought was not to meet it in battle but to evade.

Qi Dongsheng’s heels suddenly exerted force, and his figure used the momentum to swiftly retreat, attempting to dodge Fang Bai’s violent and powerful punch, filled with high temperatures.

Qi Dongsheng retreated rapidly, so fast that only a few of the thousands of disciples beneath the Stone Platform could make out his figure.

Seeing the distance between himself and Fang Bai grow quickly, Qi Dongsheng couldn’t help feeling somewhat smug, thinking, So what if your fist is more powerful than mine, Fang Bai? My movement technique is superior to yours, you can’t catch up with me, so what can you do to me?

What Qi Dongsheng never expected was that Fang Bai’s figure, which seemed about to lose momentum, suddenly accelerated with a surge, instantly closing the distance between them to about three feet.

And the end of Fang Bai’s fist had already touched the clothes on Qi Dongsheng’s chest.

The violent and intense Fire Primordial Qi carried a terrifying heat as it burst forth from Fang Bai’s fist, directly tearing through the Essence Energy defensive shield that Qi Dongsheng had formed in front of his chest.

Hiss—

With a light sound, accompanied by a scent of charring, the clothes on Qi Dongsheng’s chest were shattered by the Fire Primordial Qi from Fang Bai’s punch. Immediately after, the skin on his chest sizzled and toasted under the high temperature of the Fire Primordial Qi.

The scent of charring was from Qi Dongsheng’s clothes and skin being burnt by the onslaught of the Fire Primordial Qi.

Horrified, Qi Dongsheng’s soul seemed to leap from his body.

Fang Bai’s punch hadn’t even landed on his body yet, and already he had suffered greatly. If it had hit him solidly on the chest, the consequences could have been more severe than the injury he had just inflicted on Huang Miao. freewёbnoνel-com
