Global Martial Arts: Slaughter to Become Emperor

Chapter 528 The Battle of Double Eight Forging

January 10th, Magic Martial Arts South District!

Two beams of golden light illuminated the heavens and earth, piercing the sky above the Magic Martial Arts Academy. "Eighth-stage Golden Body Forging! Fang Ping! Li Changsheng!"

Fang Ping and Li Changsheng simultaneously reached the eighth level of the Golden Body Forging, breaking the legend that martial artists could not forge their Golden Body to the eighth level.

It's important to understand that even back then, Zhang Tao and Li Zhen didn't reach the eighth level of the Golden Body Forging Realm. Instead, they entered the ninth rank at the peak of the seventh level. Even so, both of them achieved unparalleled peaks, earning the titles of Martial King and Underworld King within those peaks. And today, Magic Martial Arts University has produced two powerful individuals at the eighth level of the Golden Body Forging Realm in a single day. In terms of potential, they are already stronger than Zhang Tao and Li Zhen. It's true that new talents emerge in every generation, and new talents replace the old. Everyone who knows the specifics of this situation holds hope for them. Even if they don't surpass the Martial King and Underworld King, as long as they can grow to be on par with them, they will greatly reduce the pressure on humanity.

Fang Ping, however, was in no hurry to emerge from seclusion. Having just broken through, he wanted to test his combat strength in a major battle. Fang Ping looked at Li Changsheng with burning enthusiasm. After all, Old Li was also at the eighth level of the Golden Body Forging stage and was following the path of the Unity of Myriad Paths. Now that he had his cultivation technique, no one knew what his combat strength would be like, but Fang Ping still had some confidence in himself. "Dean Li, do you dare to fight!"

Fang Ping shouted at Li Changsheng, and everyone outside the Magic Martial Arts Academy heard his voice. The two had just broken through to the eighth level of the Golden Body, and now they were going to have a big battle. Everyone was looking forward to seeing who would win. Fang Ping looked at Li Changsheng with a fighting spirit. His original goals had been surpassed one by one, but now only Old Man Li was still holding on, persisting until now, and still holding the number one spot in the eighth rank. If he defeated Old Man Li, he would become the number one in the eighth rank.

Moreover, he also wanted to test his current combat strength, since the improvement brought by the Eighth Forging of the Golden Body was too great, and Fang Ping was now a little arrogant.

"Kid, getting cocky? If you want to fight, then fight. I'll show you just how powerful the Perfect Unity of All Paths really is."

Li Changsheng said with a smile. After all, he also wanted to fight Fang Ping. He had personally watched Fang Ping rise step by step from the first rank to where he was now. A few years ago, Fang Ping was just a small martial artist who liked to take advantage of others and even resold pills. But now Fang Ping had reached the eighth level of the Golden Body, just like him. He was very confident in his strength. After all, the Myriad Paths Alliance emphasized fighting beyond one's level and becoming stronger with each battle. So he was not afraid of Fang Ping's challenge at all. On the contrary, he hoped to take this opportunity to teach Fang Ping a lesson. After all, he had wanted to beat this guy up for more than a day or two.

Now that Lu Hao is in seclusion and Wu Kuishan has left, the two strongest experts in the Magic Martial Arts Academy are about to clash to determine the first and second place in the eighth rank. This has drawn everyone's attention to this great battle. Which of these two is truly invincible among their peers?

The instructors who remained at Magic Martial Arts University, including Tang Feng, Liu Polu, and the remaining students, all came except those who were in seclusion at a critical moment. After all, this battle was unprecedented, with both sides possessing the eighth level of Golden Body Forging, a first for the time being. Even the grandmasters from across Magic Martial Arts University who received the news rushed over, many with anticipation on their faces, hoping that Fang Ping would defeat Li Changsheng.

After all, it's a disgrace when one person is surpassed by a junior. It feels much better when two people are surpassed. But when everyone is surpassed at the same level, it's not their problem; it's that the junior is too monstrous. And now they're hoping for this result. Now only Li Changsheng hasn't been surpassed, which is not good; he's too out of place.

Once Li Changsheng is surpassed, they will all be surpassed, which means they are all the same, no different from before. Li Changsheng is now considered a late bloomer. Everyone saw Fang Ping's rapid advancement, but few were surprised by Li Changsheng. They all seemed to think it was only natural, that it was normal for Li Changsheng to reach this level at such an old age. But they all forgot that a year ago in the Tiannan Cave, Li Changsheng was only a sixth-rank cultivator, creating the miracle of slaying an eighth-rank cultivator with a single sword strike. Now he has reached the eighth level of Golden Body Forging, killing a ninth-rank cultivator is like slaughtering a dog, without any effort.

Looking back now, Li Changsheng was the real prodigy. After more than ten years of silence, at the age of 60, he lived a second life, leaving all his peers behind.

How could anyone not be excited about this battle between two true prodigies?

When everyone arrived at the scene, they saw that Fang Ping and Li Changsheng had not yet started fighting, but were just facing each other.

Qin Fengqing shouted from a distance, "What are you two dawdling about? So many people have come, why aren't you fighting yet? I'm waiting to go back to my seclusion—"

Before Qin Fengqing could finish speaking, he was sent flying by Fang Ping and Li Changsheng's combined attack, his eyes instantly turning into panda eyes. This damn bastard, their epic duel, was reduced to a street brawl in his mouth, pure folly.

Fang Ping smiled and said, "Seniors who have come to watch the battle, please don't be in a hurry."

My sparring session with Teacher Li was a battle among the most elite beings below the ninth rank of human martial arts. As an unprecedented battle between a Golden Body Eighth Forging expert and a warrior who had achieved the Unity of All Paths against a normal martial artist, it was necessary for everyone to witness it. As the principal of Magic Martial Arts School, this was my duty.

The onlookers were speechless. Fang Ping was really arrogant, but what he said wasn't wrong. After all, they were the only two people who knew that they had reached the eighth level of the Golden Body, so they certainly had something to brag about.

Soon, more and more people arrived.

Old Man Li, with his flowing white hair, held the Longevity Sword in his hand, looking quite dashing.

Fang Ping held his sword with both hands, his blood surging to the sky, and his eyes flashed with a sharp light. Before the two even made a move, the mere clash of their auras caused the sea to surge and waves to surge one after another.

Some of the mid-level martial artists who had just arrived all had solemn expressions. They were so overwhelmed by the aura of the two that they could hardly breathe. Both of them were incredibly strong!

Black cracks were breaking apart around Fang Ping and Old Man Li.

This is the void on Earth. Although it is not as stable as the underground cave, it still requires 100,000 units of blood energy to shatter. And now, the aura of these two alone has the power of 100,000 units of blood energy. It is unimaginable what their true strength is.

At this moment, Qin Fengqing returned, his vision blurred and panting heavily. Not only did he return, but he also wielded a powerful weapon, standing there with a dark expression, as if he wanted to devour someone. No one dared to provoke him. Qin Fengqing was aware of his own limitations, so he planned to beat the loser from behind. The grandmasters who had come to watch the battle all kept their distance from Qin Fengqing upon seeing this. After all, this guy was courting death. If Fang Ping and the others were free to intervene, he would definitely get a beating. Many grandmasters who had brought their juniors were even warning their juniors not to learn from Qin Fengqing, lest they ruin themselves.
