Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 645 Eternal War
Li Shenkong observes Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng also seemed unable to find a way to restrain Yuan Kuojing, and was still gradually accumulating the power of his fist, which was like a raging fire. However, it seemed to be different from when he fought against the sixteen grandmasters.

Soon, Li Shenkong's gaze changed, and some human grandmasters also noticed, and finally the giants discovered it one after another.

The Great Sun Divine Art and the East Wind Fist are powers that all races in the Ten Realms are researching.

A human grandmaster whispered, "I heard before that he only knew the first eight moves of the East Wind Fist, and it hasn't even been a year. How come his fist technique is starting to advance to the middle eight moves?"

"Some of these moves already carry the force of a fist, and are no worse than those of us veteran masters."

"The strongest of the first eight moves is the Dragon and Tiger Intertwining, but the core of the fist technique is the Wildfire Spreading. The core fist techniques of the middle eight moves are the tenth move 'I am granted the mandate of heaven' plus the twelfth move 'Accumulating from afar and inheriting from the past,' the strongest move is the sixteenth move 'Advancing in the wind and rain,' the fastest move is 'Breaking through ten thousand in an instant,' and the strongest defensive move is the thirteenth move 'Attack and defense as one.' Without comprehending the core fist techniques, the other moves simply cannot unleash their power."

"He seems to have a basic foundation, and now he is slowly transforming the 'Wildfire Spreads' boxing style into 'I am granted the mandate of heaven' plus 'Accumulated over time'."

"His progress is too fast. If he can master these two core boxing techniques during his time as an advanced grandmaster, then mastering the seventeenth move, 'New Heaven Forever,' will be a natural progression when he becomes a grandmaster."

"New Heaven Eternal Stand is the core fist stance of the last eight moves. Even if the other fist techniques of the last eight moves can only be used by a Martial Saint, he can use New Heaven Eternal Stand to strengthen the first sixteen moves and push the first sixteen moves to a level that is infinitely close to the Martial Saint's fist techniques."

"What do you think enabled him to do that? Was it just talent and comprehension?"

Li Shenkong said, "I understand. I have studied his basic swordsmanship videos. His understanding of basic fist techniques far surpasses ours, even that of the Martial Saint."

"impossible."

"That's what my grandfather said." Li Shenkong's words left everyone speechless.

To ease the awkwardness, one person said, "You can't reach this level by just cultivating behind closed doors. If nothing unexpected happens, he must have experienced at least a hundred battles at the high-level Grandmaster level, greatly shortening the cultivation process through actual combat."

"Hundreds of matches?"

As everyone watched Zhou Leng's retreating figure, they recalled how he had slaughtered over a hundred Grandmasters in the Treeman World and then massacred sixteen sect leaders in the Water Continent Demon City. It was entirely possible for such a ferocious guy to fight a hundred battles here.

Li Shenkong stared at Zhou Leng's retreating figure, gripping the hilt of his sword tightly.

He had been taken too good to be by the Li family in the past and had not experienced many life-or-death battles.

However, he has always been the undisputed number one among his peers. Countless geniuses have tried to catch up with him, including Shanheyuan and Zhang Xinglie, but none have been able to catch up with him.

Zhou Leng did it.

Li Shenkong was certain that if he didn't use the Starry Sky Divine Sword and only used the Demigod Sword, he would at best be evenly matched with Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng only took two or three years.

"His strength was forged through intense, life-or-death struggles in real combat. I should learn from him!"

Li Shenkong stood still, pondering how to gain more real combat experience.

The other masters were still discussing it.

"The accumulated power of the fist technique is actually not difficult; even we old guys can do it. But the fist technique I bestowed with the mandate of heaven is too domineering, and even grandmasters rarely comprehend it. Back then, Zhao Sheng was severely suppressed, experiencing ups and downs, and was not considered a core member. It wasn't until he was recognized by the entire Demon City Army and Martial Academy, officially stepped onto the stage, full of vigor, and swept away the old dust, that he comprehended this move."

"Have you grasped the meaning of 'I have been given the mandate of heaven'?"

Many masters shook their heads.

Li Shenkong also shook his head. He was a master of swordsmanship, but he had also secretly put in a lot of hard work on the East Wind Fist.

He has barely mastered the first eight moves, and is far from mastering the middle eight moves.

"As it stands, Zhou Leng is probably slightly better than his opponent, but if he cannot comprehend my Mandate of Heaven, it is very likely that the match will end in a draw, and he will not be able to seriously injure his opponent."

"This giant should be the strongest high-level grandmaster we've ever seen. With such divine bloodline, he must have a killer move."

Everyone nodded slightly; no one dared to underestimate Yuan Kuojing.

Shanhe Tianyue and Huang Jinli are among the top-tier grandmasters in the world of giants, and they did not refute the human grandmasters.

Yuan Kuojing is indeed stronger than them.

The alien giants have always been more powerful than the giants of the ten realms, not only because of their bloodline, but also because of the inheritance of gods.

and so……

The mountains and rivers surveyed the numerous dark, thin giants, then looked at a less dark alien giant.

The alien giant and the mountains and rivers stared at each other, and the giant tapped his right index finger three times.

Their eyes quickly looked away.

Ahead, Zhou Leng and Yuan Kuojing are still locked in a fierce battle.

The battlefield where the two were located spanned more than ten kilometers in radius, and the area had collapsed by more than ten meters. It was still being impacted by the force of the two men, slowly sinking and being compacted.

The two fought and ran at nearly three times the speed of sound. From a distance, the white shockwaves that filled the sky looked like blooming white flowers.

With such intense fighting and widespread destruction, both Zhou Leng and the alien giant were hit multiple times.

However, Yuan Kuojing, who was wearing semi-divine armor, remains unharmed to this day.

Zhou Leng's skin kept turning slightly red, but it kept recovering.

To this day, there isn't a single scratch on it.

The alien giants' heads were buzzing. Even if Yuan Kuojing were to fight Yuan Kuojing himself and remove the semi-divine artifact, his body would still be injured.

As expected of the Giant Saint!
With such a powerful physique, we must capture Yuan Kuo Xing and enshrine him!
New gods will surely be born among his descendants!

If given the opportunity, one could send their wife there, and their descendants might become deities.

The alien giants grew increasingly excited as they thought about it.

Suddenly, Yuan Kuojing said while fighting, "Stop. I'm not using my full strength right now, and you can't break my semi-divine artifact. If I go all out, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop. You and I are both giants after all, there's no need for us to fight to the death."

"You've changed your mind?"

“Your strength has strengthened my resolve to bring you back to Faraway Star. I can guarantee that once you arrive on Faraway Star, you will immediately become the First King of Giants, and whatever you desire, we will grant it to you!”

"What I want, you can't give me."

"Since you are so determined, then I have no choice but to use my full strength." From behind, Shanhe Tianyue shouted, "Be careful of their divine power! Only the descendants of gods can use it. Apart from a few lords' descendants, no one in the Ten Realms can use it!"

boom!
Yuan Kuojing erupted with intense crimson flames, and a powerful shockwave swept in all directions. Zhou Leng crossed his arms in front of him to block, but was forced back by the impact.

Yuan Kuojing's body shrank from over ten meters tall to just two meters.

His skin color changed from slightly dark to reddish-black, and his muscles were arranged in perfect proportions, resembling pieces of dark divine armor.

Because the flesh and blood were so solidified, they even shimmered.

"Your Majesty, I have offended you."

boom!
The ground beneath their feet had been compacted to its limit by the two men, but now it sank several meters further.

A massive white shockwave spread laterally, but the speed of the shockwave in the far-wide well exceeded that of a supersonic lateral shockwave.

The shockwave spread behind him.

Three times the speed of sound!
Both sides watching the battle widened their eyes in surprise.

One of them was a genius human from an early stage of civilization.

One, a descendant of the gods of a declining, middle-class civilization.

A moment later, the winner was decided.

Yuan Kuojing unleashed a punch, which Zhou Leng met head-on with Qiu Tao Shan He.

With a loud bang, Zhou Leng was sent flying backward, crashing into the edge of the large crater formed by the two people's trampling. He disappeared into the ground more than ten meters away, his figure no longer visible.

Yuan Kuojing leaped high out of the pit, swung his fist, and smashed it into the ground directly above Zhou Leng.

boom!
The earth cracked open for hundreds of meters, and shattered pieces of earth shot into the sky, spreading out in white dust rings.

No one could see what was happening, but based on the sound, they could vaguely sense that Zhou Leng had been slammed deep into the ground.

Yuan Kuojing aimed his fists at the ground below and pounded them wildly, creating afterimages.

He continued to collapse along with the earth.

The Ten Realms team was both worried and saddened.

The divine bloodline is indeed too strong. The high-level grandmaster can easily break three times the speed of sound, which is enough to defeat most of the grandmasters in the ten realms and is enough to be ranked among the peak grandmasters.

Under such bombardment, Zhou Leng would have little chance of retaliating and would be sealed alive within the earth.

Huang Jinli took a step forward, but Shanhe Tianyue grabbed her arm tightly.

"let me go."

"He's fine."

"Ok?"

"Zhou Leng is very strong."

“That’s true…” Huang Jinli looked at the front quietly with her big, watery eyes, which were even bigger than longan fruits.

Li Shenkong took the sword box off his back, and pressed the top of the sword box with his left hand as if he were using a cane.

A fighting spirit surged in his eyes.

Yuan Kuojing had unleashed over a thousand punches, and the crater had sunk a hundred meters deep before he finally stood up, leaped back, crossed his arms, and stood at the edge of the crater, gazing at the bottom.

His chest heaved violently, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his body, evaporating in an instant.

"Come out, I know you're not dead."

The earth shook violently, the bottom of the pit exploded open, and a human in tattered clothes leaped dozens of meters and stood on the edge of the pit.

"Ok?"

The alien giants and the people of the Ten Realms were all puzzled.

It's understandable that Zhou Leng didn't die.

How come there isn't a single scratch on my body?

Not only that, where did the fiery fist technique that spread like wildfire go?

A subtle fire burned within Zhou Leng's cold eyes.

“Over time, the fist technique has been perfected…” Li Shenkong said softly.

The human masters nodded in agreement. Zhou Leng finally took another step forward, transforming the Wildfire Fist into an even stronger, enduring power.

It's not like a wildfire spreading across the plains.

Each time the fire spreads, it requires rebuilding from scratch. Although the stronger the fist technique, the faster the accumulation, everything resets to zero after the battle ends.

Accumulated over time makes a difference.

As the core stance of the eight moves, it follows "Wildfire Spreads" and "I am granted the mandate of heaven" and is followed by "A new heaven stands forever". It is a long and arduous journey, an endless battle.

Zhao Sheng once said that what is accumulated over time is not accumulated by one person, not carried by decades, and not extended by several generations.

It is not that everyone is fighting, but that everyone is constantly fighting against all enemies, both internal and external. As long as civilization exists, there will be a protracted war.

The accumulation lasts for a long time, and civilizations have the same longevity.

Only when the will of martial arts is integrated into civilization can the ultimate punch of this move be unleashed.

Zhou Leng's lifelong battles never ceased, like kindling ignited by a wildfire, burning eternally and enduring through the ages.

"Is that all?" Zhou Leng asked.

"Of course not! As expected of the future Yuan Kuo Zhou Leng!" Yuan Kuo Jing grinned, leaned forward, stomped his foot, and ran.
