Volume 2: Barbaric Wilderness Chapter 75: Unmatched in a Single Palm

  From the moment Nie Mengshan entered the trial grounds, the eyes of nearly a thousand inner sect elite disciples gathered outside were drawn to him.

  One is the Three Fists that defeated Bai Qianyu, the Twelve Consecutive Strikes of the Black Horse that shook the world. The other is a renowned figure from ten years ago, known as the 'King of Strength', a peak expert in his prime.

  This battle will surely be wonderful, and this conclusion has almost been confirmed in the hearts of all onlookers.

  Chuyi and Niemanshan indeed satisfied the expectations of many spectators.

  After a sentence "beat to satisfaction", the two of them collided fiercely in mid-air like two meteors, one with fists casting a shadow over the sky and the other with palm winds like blades.

  Sheer and terrifying power surged forth, with the kind of massive air explosions that made one's eardrums ache frequently ringing out, demonstrating the unmatched strength of two physically overpowered freaks.

  Close-quarters combat, a fighting style that many monks consider to be mediocre, has now been elevated by Chu Yu and Nie Mengshan's performance into an unparalleled display of power, pushing the brilliance of this fight to its limits.

  Many of the onlookers who were inner disciples couldn't help but secretly sigh in their hearts, wondering if they too should start cultivating their physical bodies and take the path of close combat.

  In the trial arena, Chu Yi didn't know how many punches he had exchanged with Nie Mengshan, or how many palms they had clashed. At this moment, the unruly and arrogant intention in his bones was thoroughly stirred up, what a wonderful feeling it was.

  "Nie brother, try out this little brother's dominating strike."

  A huge golden fist print suddenly appeared, and in the face of this fierce power that could threaten his own life, Nie Mengshan was not surprised but burst out laughing, laughing very loudly and wildly. It was a joyful laughter of meeting an opponent on equal footing.

  "Welcome, Chu Shidi! Let's see my 'Unparalleled Palm'..."

  Nie Mengshan had already cultivated the ninth realm of spiritual power ten years ago, and in these ten years, he not only tempered his body but also spent a lot of energy studying a divine technique, which was the 'Unlimited Palm' that he was now displaying.

  This formula was not easily obtained, it was obtained by Nie Mengshan from a strange and ancient tomb after nine deaths and one life, until later when Nuyangzi enlightened him, only then did he know that this "Bu Zhou Yi Zhang" was actually an ancient immortal divine technique.

  Although the Eight Trigrams Divine Transmission only obtained this one move, even if it was just this one move, after cultivating it to completion, it would still greatly increase Nian Mengshan's strength.

  Nie Mengshan has been on an unconventional path since he started practicing the art of refining his body, unlike other cultivators who cultivate flying sword techniques and treasures, or practice thunderous aura. He only focuses on tempering his physical body, toughening his muscles and bones.

  Nie Mengshan participated in the Inner Gate Competition for the first time with his Open Enlightenment Realm cultivation, and he was at the bottom of his group. The second time he participated, he had already reached the Fusion Realm cultivation, but still ranked last, and even a fellow disciple who had reached the 9th level of Open Enlightenment challenged him and ultimately won.

  The third time the inner gate was compared, when everyone thought that Nie Mengshan was still that incompetent cultivator who only knew how to fight brutally and physically close-range, he erupted.

  In the Lingdong period, Nie Mengshan won eight consecutive games, and his strong physique, which was obtained through countless hardships and efforts, gave him a defensive power that ordinary cultivators could not match. Many magical powers were cultivated, making his close-range melee attack style varied by hundreds of changes, and his strength surged to an astonishing realm.

  By then, he had established his reputation as the "Power King". This time, Nie Mengshan came for the quota of personally taught disciples. With only ten people left who had not been eliminated, Nie Mengshan no longer needed to worry about anything. Whether he won or lost, he already had the qualification to compete for a personally taught disciple.

  Because when the big comparison is left with only ten people, the final decision on who can be among the top five is not determined by winning or losing, but by a group of inner door elders through comprehensive judgment of their actual strength, future development potential and other factors.

  Similarly, since winning or losing is no longer important, the most important thing is to show one's strength to the fullest in front of many elders.

  Nie Mengshan and Chu Yiru had a thrilling battle today.

  "As soon as the 'Unrestrained Palm' was unleashed, a mighty and boundless energy burst forth, with wave after wave of gale-force winds rising to follow the movement of his palm. Nie Mengshan simply raised his hand and slapped it down from afar, yet he could still produce such an astonishing display of power; the profundity of this ancient immortal's magical abilities was truly breathtaking."

  "Welcome!" Chu Yi's eyes lit up with fierce enthusiasm as he exclaimed loudly.

  A golden fist print came crashing down, a heart-stirring, utterly unadorned and forceful collision.

  The two forces burst out with a terrifying destructive power, causing many onlookers among the inner sect disciples to involuntarily wonder if this was still a battle between cultivators in the Lingdong period.

  "Is it so outrageous? Even a true Golden Elixir immortal would rarely have such abilities!"

  "One punch, one palm, such a simple move can burst out with such power, it turns out that diligently cultivating the physical body also has its day of triumph!"

  "Nie Mengshan's strength is something everyone knows about. His reputation as unbeatable in close combat at the same level isn't just an empty title, let alone within our sect. Even among the top nine sects, it would be hard to find a second Spirit Movement stage cultivator who could surpass him in pure power. That Chu Yi is strong, but this is abnormal - he can actually exchange blows with 'Power King' head-on! Today I've gained some new insight!"

  "The Tyrant's Strike" and "Unmatched Palm" spawned a frenzied impact wave that shattered the entire hundred-meter radius of the trial grounds, causing the ground to collapse by several meters.

  "This is indeed a solid layer of cyan stone, and it has been blessed with magic. What kind of destructive power would be needed to achieve this? Indeed, even among Golden Elixir True Men, there are only a few who can cause such astonishing destruction in one strike."

  Such momentum also made the Four Great Divine Emperors change their expressions in an instant.

  "This Nie Mengshan indeed has the great potential to surpass his master, given time, he will surely make a name for himself." Tian Gangzi nodded slightly in appreciation.

  "Nie Man Shan is indeed good, but being able to fight under the ancient immortal's divine power without falling behind in the slightest, I think Chu Yi has won this battle by a narrow margin. This child is truly extraordinary."

  Tian Xuanzi's words shocked everyone, but the other three were slightly surprised. After all, they knew Tian Xuanzi's style well, and he rarely praised people. Even with Wan Qiushui, the number one inner disciple, Tian Xuanzi's evaluation was only two words: "just passable".

  The battle in the arena escalated again, and after "Unparalleled Palm" was activated, Nie Mengshan entered a state of extreme frenzy, with every palm strike unleashing a torrent of power.

  Looking at Chu Yi, his eyes were a deep red, and between breaths, true flames could be seen spraying out. His body was rapidly expanding at an astonishing speed, which clearly indicated that he was about to use some kind of divine ability again.

  "Undestroyed in nine cycles - Vajra indestructibility - "

  Boom

  Once again, Chu Yi's fist and palm clashed, with an overwhelming force that sent Nie Mengshan's palm power rolling back, the terrifying force shook the defensive shield outside the trial field.

  "Unexpectedly, he even managed to repair the Nine Revolutions of the Void, this kid is a genius, no, being a genius is not enough, it should be called a freak. In just two years, I really don't know how he did it."

  Tian Qingzi was shocked and sighed on the side, and then heard Tian Fangzi say: "Jingang is not destroyed as soon as it comes out, Nie Man Mountain is afraid of defeat..."

  The Divine Emperor's vision is unparalleled. As for the fighting methods of these Spirit Stage cultivators, their judgment is absolutely flawless.

  After Chu Yi burst out with the powerful technique "Indestructible Vajra", his power was several times stronger than before. Nie Mengshan could only use the "Unlimited One Palm" to barely hold on for a moment, but ultimately couldn't withstand the attack and was forced to retreat from the trial grounds with one blow.

  "Chu Shidi, although I lost this battle, it was extremely satisfying."
