Holy Fist!

Chapter 463 Dragon God of Ten Thousand Beasts, Who is the True Dragon!
October 9th, around dusk.

A shocking piece of news swept through the entire martial arts world.

The Shangwu Association headquarters issued a statement announcing that Bai Xiao, the master of the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts Academy in the Eastern Secret Martial Arts Realm, finally achieved the title of Grandmaster this morning! His honorific title is Dragon Grandmaster!
In an instant, this news caused a huge uproar, sweeping across the four major martial arts worlds of the Tianxia Federation! First, the well-informed top schools were utterly shocked. Then, countless smaller schools spread the word at breakneck speed to every corner of the martial arts world. After all, this was a Grandmaster, the pinnacle of martial arts expertise!

Before this, there were only seven such figures in the entire Tianxia Federation.

Since the turn of the century, only one person, Crane Master of Crane Immortal Martial Arts School, has achieved the rank of Grandmaster. The other six all reached the Grandmaster realm in the last century. Now, twenty years after Crane Master achieved the rank of Grandmaster, another master of a top-tier martial arts school has finally broken through the shackles, reached the pinnacle of skill, and stepped into the Grandmaster realm!
This is a major event for the entire martial arts world!
The martial arts world is abuzz with discussions across the west, south, and north.

"Bai Xiao, the master of the Dragon Elephant Pavilion, has actually become a Grandmaster!"

someone exclaimed.

"I encountered him before at the Dark World Fighting Tournament. I never imagined that so much time would pass, and he's already made such a meteoric rise, winning both the Dark World Fighting Tournament and the Martial Arts Competition, and now he's even reached the Grandmaster level! It's too fast, almost unreal. Is that legendary Enlightenment Tea Tree at the Martial Arts Association headquarters really that magical? Or is Bai Xiao's talent truly astonishing, allowing him to comprehend something unimaginable..."

A genius who had previously participated in the Dark World Fighting Tournament remarked.

In the blink of an eye, Bai Xiao, who was also a contestant, has now become a grandmaster and can be called the leader of a secret martial arts world.

And they, too, only broke through to the level of sect master one after another.

The gap is widening and widening at an increasingly rapid pace.

Some geniuses even suspect that after winning the Dark World Fighting Tournament, Bai Xiao gained unimaginable insights from the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

That's why we were able to speed ahead, advance triumphantly, and be invincible.

"The Enlightenment Tea Tree is truly a treasure..."

"I wonder if I'll be able to experience this once in my lifetime?"

Some people were extremely envious.

The Northern Secret Martial Arts World: Hundred-Crack Fist.

During the Underworld Fighting Tournament and in the early days of the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts Academy, some members of the Hundred-Crack Fist style targeted Bai Xiao. Now, upon hearing the news, they trembled violently, their eyes filled with utter horror.

Terrified, he immediately went into seclusion and prayed frantically in his heart.

Hopefully, Bai Xiao will never find out about the sabotage they've secretly set up.

Otherwise, not only them, but the entire Hundred Crack Fist would have to pay a huge price.

……

Eastern Secret Martial Realm, Huai River City, Fierce Bird Flow.

The entire Ferocious Bird Clan, from top to bottom, was incredibly excited; all the disciples and elders were practically ecstatic! Especially the disciples, whose eldest disciple had broken through to an unprecedented Grandmaster level. The entire Eastern Martial Arts World, which previously only had one Grandmaster, was now about to have two!

The elders and sect leaders were overjoyed, feeling as if they had witnessed the birth of a prodigy. In a short period of time, he had advanced the Secret Martial Arts to its peak.

Moreover, Bai Xiao wasn't ungrateful. After establishing the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts Academy in the Eastern Martial Arts World, he began to continuously provide feedback to the Ferocious Bird Stream. He shared various secret martial arts techniques, a large amount of cultivation materials, as well as communication channels and connections with the Ferocious Bird Stream. The Ferocious Bird Stream benefited from this, and its foundation and resources gradually became more substantial, although it was too short a time and needed to accumulate further.

Several core disciples were also taken to Donghai City to continue their studies.

However, in the Eastern Martial Arts World, they have a top-tier sect like the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts School as their backer, and their original eldest disciple, Bai Xiao, has broken through to the Grandmaster realm. Who would dare to provoke the Fierce Bird Sect? They'd be too busy currying favor! That's exactly what's happening now. As soon as the news spread, sects from all directions sent their congratulations to the Fierce Bird Sect, including some sects that had never even heard of them before.

They're all just trying to get in on the goodwill.

Among them are top-tier players who were originally out of reach for the Fierce Bird style.

Even the East Ninth Gate has lowered its standards.

"The former glory of the Demon Bird Clan is probably no more than this!"

Yan Qi, the leader of the Fierce Bird Sect, stroked his beard, deeply moved.

"My disciples are revered by the world as the Dragon Sect!? Hahahaha..."

Chen Liao laughed heartily, his face ruddy and his aura powerful. His old injuries had long been healed by Bai Xiao, and he also had a large amount of precious resources and medicines to nourish his body. In a while, Chen Liao might even be able to try to break through to the sect master level.

At the same time, other schools of martial arts in the Eastern Secret Martial World...

"The first person to step into the Grandmaster realm is not the Blade Demon, but Bai Xiao, the master of the Dragon Elephant Pavilion? No, he should now be respectfully called the Dragon Sect Master!" someone muttered to himself, feeling that this Dragon Sect Master's rise was too fast.

"Entering the East Ninth Gate isn't the end of the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts School. With Grandmaster Bai Xiao at the helm, the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts School will eventually develop into a top-tier martial arts school..."

Someone spoke up as a prophecy.

"In the Eastern Martial Arts Realm, two sects stand side by side: the Crane Sect and the Dragon Sect!"

"Moreover, I heard that the Blade Demon has gone into seclusion. If nothing unexpected happens, he will become a Grandmaster when he breaks through his seclusion... He will be the third Blade Grandmaster!"

"The East is now home to three major sects, an unprecedented golden age of martial arts."

Some people only think that martial arts are flourishing.

"The Dragon Elephant Martial Arts Academy has grandmasters presiding over it, and it's very open-minded, displaying a spirit of inclusive education, not caring about the previous master or school of martial arts applicants. I have decent talent, but unfortunately, I lack sufficient secret techniques and resources, preventing me from fully utilizing it. I've heard that once you join the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts Academy and your talent meets the standards, you can receive a complete, lineage-based martial arts inheritance that allows you to progress step by step from third-rate to first-rate! It's too tempting..."

"or……"

Some people were even more eager to try, feeling an itch to do so.

……

At the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts Academy, the news naturally caused a great stir.

The fact that the master of the martial arts school had broken through to the Grandmaster level meant that the upper limit of the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts School had been raised again, and it was expected to become the second extraordinary existence in the Eastern Secret Martial Arts World, similar to the Crane Immortal Martial Arts School. Everyone was naturally excited and thrilled.

Elephant Mountain, waterfalls and pools, a tranquil courtyard.

White Owl slowly stood in the pavilion.

With a wave of his hand, a small island the size of a courtyard appeared in the center of the pool. With another wave of his hand, a circular silver pool appeared in the center of the island, filled with viscous void essence.

The crystal lotus platform for enlightenment floated in mid-air before gently descending.

Then it rotates clockwise back and forth in the silver pool.

Finally, Bai Xiao flicked his finger, and a green seed, resembling a Bodhi fruit, flew out and landed right next to the silver pool.

A thought arises, and courage surges forth.

The Enlightenment Tea Tree Seed was instantly activated, its terrifying life force blazing forth, transforming into a towering green flame. The massive amount of void energy Bai Xiao had absorbed when he broke through to the Grandmaster level was now being released, causing reality and the deeper world to overlap.

The entire Qunxiang Mountain was instantly enveloped by an unknown and mysterious aura.

"Buzz!" The seed of the Enlightenment Tea Tree took root and sprouted at an unimaginable speed. It grew in the wind, its branches and leaves stretching out, and a rustling sound came from its surface. After a series of cracking sounds, the trunk began to swell, noticeably thickening in concentric rings. A unique rhythm gradually became richer and more intense.

In the blink of an eye, the Enlightenment Tea Tree seed had already passed the seedling stage and rushed directly into its growth period! Although it wasn't fully mature and couldn't compare to the one at the Martial Arts Association headquarters, it was still about half the size of that one, with tender green leaves and slightly yellowed edges. The leaves rustled as they rubbed together, exuding a natural and harmonious aura, as if coexisting with heaven and earth.

Originally, it might have taken thousands of years for the Enlightenment Tea Tree seed to grow to this stage on its own. However, the void energy that Bai Xiao infused into it greatly shortened the entire process, saving an unimaginable amount of time.

His gaze was fixed quietly ahead, fixed on the new Enlightenment Tea Tree.

Its enlightenment effect subtly enveloped the surroundings, encompassing the ancient courtyard not far away and the entire waterfall pool.

The closer you are to it, the better the enlightenment effect will naturally emerge.

"This new Enlightenment Tea Tree has about 40% of the effects of that old tea tree. That's already pretty good, considering it's a treasure that belongs entirely to me..."

Bai Xiao murmured to himself.

"With this Enlightenment Tea Tree, people from all the secret martial arts worlds will probably go crazy and want to join the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts Academy to help me achieve a top-tier style."

His eyes flickered slightly.

"From now on, Mount Qunxiang can also be called Mount Wudao, the ancient-style courtyard will be called Wudao Courtyard, the waterfall pool will be called Wudao Pool, and then there will be Wudao Island and Wudao Pond. Starting with Wudao Courtyard, there are four stages; with each stage advancement, the enlightenment effect will be better. To enjoy the dual enlightenment effects of the Wudao Lotus Platform and Wudao Tea Tree in Wudao Pond, one needs to make significant contributions to the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts Academy. This will serve as the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts Academy's future reward system, and it will definitely be one of the core attractions for those in the secret martial arts world..."

Bai Xiao thought to himself.

Then, he slowly turned around, looked at the group of high-ranking members of the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts School he had brought, and explained his idea. Immediately, the high-ranking members became excited; they too now had the opportunity to experience the effects of the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

"Tomorrow, you will take a group of elites and come with me to Tiannan City in the southern part of the Tianxia Federation. I have already contacted President Ouyang of the Martial Arts Association, and the local Martial Arts Association will support and assist our operation."

"Everything should be rewarded based on merit."

Bai Xiao's gaze swept over the crowd before him, his expression calm.

"Yes!!!"

The leaders of the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts School roared excitedly in unison.

……

The next day, October 10th.

Elephant Mountain, Enlightenment Pool.

Bai Xiao slowly opened his eyes, shook off the dew, and lightly touched the ground with his toes. He floated away from the Enlightenment Pool and appeared on the summit of Elephant Mountain.

His gaze swept down over the distant horizon.

The road in front of the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts Academy was bustling with traffic, all coming from various schools of martial arts from the eastern region to offer their congratulations. Even the leaders of the major first-rate schools had come to celebrate with their grandmaster!
However, Bai Xiao felt neither joy nor sorrow as he watched this scene.

A strange calm.

His mind was still preoccupied with the Myriad Qi Evaporation Assassination Fist he had comprehended the previous night. After the Eighth Revolution Tyrant Bird Devouring Star, his techniques gradually became more refined, his Dao-cultivating abilities subtly improved, and he even showed signs of slowly approaching the Ninth Revolution.

Bai Xiao had a premonition that this move would be very powerful!

Even at the Grandmaster level, it can be considered a trump card.

However, to his surprise, he discovered that the enhancement of his Master's Heart, which was linked to his attainment of Buddhahood and ancestorhood, was now showing some reaction. Bai Xiao could feel that the spiritual light and enlightenment surging in from all directions seemed to be able to be incorporated into his Myriad Qi Evaporation Assassination Fist.

This allows the still-developing Ninth Incarnation to continue to increase its power!

Heading in a mysterious and indescribable direction!

This feeling is something that the other six forbidden martial arts do not possess.

"It seems that enlightenment aura may not be effective against forbidden secret weapons. Or perhaps, I don't have enough enlightenment aura. But the Myriad Qi Evaporation Assassination Fist is not forbidden, it's just that its power is incredibly terrifying. Just by its pure numerical value, it can rival the forbidden level. If I invest a massive amount of enlightenment aura, I might be able to gain an unprecedented divine ability!"

"All energies evaporate, the ninth cycle..."

after an hour.

At the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts Academy, some of the higher-ups and elites had disappeared, leaving only Ghost Face to entertain guests. Bai Xiao of the Dragon Clan, who had previously shown up, was also nowhere to be found.

……

Tianxia Federation, five southern provinces, Tiannan City.

Tiannan, a world-renowned port city, boasts several excellent harbors, an incredibly prosperous economy, and towering skyscrapers. Its economic development is second only to Donghai City and the Imperial Capital in the entire Tianxia Federation.

Changsheng Pharmaceutical Industrial Park, on the outskirts of Tiannan City.

The industrial park covers a vast area, with numerous factories, spanning over a thousand acres.

The park is laid out in an orderly fashion, with each different area representing a research department. However, from an aerial view, the park reveals a circular layout, with one ring containing another. The core area is a square building with black walls. There appears to be an underground area where people are constantly moving in and out.

This is the headquarters of Rahu Company, the most powerful of the six!
A few days ago, they swept through and defeated the Burning Light Group, finally unifying the armor world! A massive amount of armor resources, personnel, and equipment are being absorbed by the Rahu camp, and its power has recently begun to expand wildly.

It was a scene brimming with life, where everything was thriving.

In the center of the park, at the underground base.

Deepest part, the quarantine zone.

A bald PhD student in a white lab coat pressed his hands against thick special glass, staring intently at the suit of armor inside.

"It's so beautiful, so beautiful! It's practically the ultimate form of life!"

"It can transform into the characteristics of all ferocious beasts, even monsters from the ancient primordial era, and even mythological figures! It is the ultimate weapon..."

"All beasts... Dragon God!"

At almost the same time, outside the Changsheng Pharmaceutical Industrial Park.

In the sky, two white-painted helicopters were flying at high speed along the road, their wings spinning rapidly and their frames reflecting a metallic sheen.

Below, a line of black cars stretched along the highway, like a giant python winding its way through the landscape.

One in the air, one on the ground, both advancing towards Rahu's headquarters.

Inside the helicopter, the left-side door opened, revealing a tall figure dressed in a black and gold dragon and elephant combat uniform, standing quietly and calmly looking down.

"Dragon Sect, Dragon God of Ten Thousand Beasts".

"Then let's see who the real dragon is..."
