Chapter 449: 227 Dragon-Elephant Qi-Blood, Vajra Horizontal Training!

"Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!"

Punch after punch, kick after kick, accelerating with massive strength, they struck the pillar. The steel column couldn’t withstand the force, and its surface cracks grew wider and deeper, spreading across it like a spider web. Until a certain moment.

"Clang!"

With a crisp sound, the steel column shattered on the spot, the fragments flying out like a goddess sprinkling flowers from the skies, full of kinetic energy, shooting like bullets.

Beside the martial arts arena, the three observers demonstrated their formidable abilities in silence.

Fang Chao’s hands glowed with a blue light, sweeping through the air, precisely deflecting all the steel ball fragments. Ye Meng’s spear sword unsheathed at some point, thrusting forward a few times, creating a series of sword blooms and cold lights that intercepted the fragments. As for Bai Xiao, he merely leaned slightly to the side, positioning himself perfectly in the gaps between the rain of fragments. Bullets of steel flew past him, not even tearing his clothes.

He even timed it right, slowly reaching out towards the front, and with a ’ding’ of his fingers, he managed to pinch a palm-sized fragment. He examined the cross-section, seemingly trying to deduce some of Mountain King Chen Xiu’s techniques from various small traces. A few seconds later, Bai Xiao lifted his head, his hand slightly squeezing, and the alloy fragment deformed like clay.

Black and white iron sand fell from between his fingers.

"Huh?"

From afar, in the center of the martial arts arena.

Mountain King Chen Xiu’s gaze swept over the three men, eventually resting on Bai Xiao’s hands.

His gaze grew profound.

Chen Xiu was looking at Bai Xiao, and Bai Xiao was also looking back at him.

This was a young man around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, tall and sturdy like a tower, with a back as straight as a vigorous pine. His broad shoulders were powerful, with bulging muscles that compared to car tires. The hair on both sides and his forehead were neatly trimmed, short and standing stiffly up, with a pair of eyes that were both calm and sharp.

He wore a pair of black sports pants and a white, tightly fitting short-sleeved shirt, his muscular arms hanging down like iron bars. Around his palm, white bandages were wrapped tightly, covering most of it.

The young man’s face revealed a composed and self-assured smile.

His robust physique took confident strides, walking directly towards them.

If one word could describe him, it would probably be ’bear’. Mountain King Chen Xiu’s aura, like that of a bear, was thick and substantial. Normally, when encountering prey, he would not attack immediately but would calmly probe, ensuring everything was under control before launching a sudden and violent onslaught!

Beneath the young man’s tranquil exterior, there was a hint of intense murderous intent.

"Fang Chao, Ye Meng, you’ve arrived? I just finished my morning training."

His voice was deep and resonant.

Chen Xiu nodded towards the Jiang Brothers, clearly familiar with the three men for a long time. His eyes moved slightly and then settled back on Bai Xiao.

"Who is this?"

"Oh, this is Bai Xiao, the Chief Disciple of the Fierce Bird Sect. The champion of this year’s Nanjiang Province Dark World martial arts competition, and also a Cross-Training Master..."

Fang Chao coughed once or twice and immediately introduced him.

"Huh? The champion of the Nanjiang Province Dark World martial arts competition? Someone managed to break the dominance of you two in the young generation of Nanjiang Province?" Mountain King Chen Xiu was slightly surprised because he had fought with Fang Chao and Ye Meng before and was aware of their considerable strength. They might not be a threat to the Eastern Seven Stars, but they were just below them.

If ranked in order, they would at the very least be in the top fifteen, aiming for the top ten.

However, these two were not the ones who won the Nanjiang Province Dark World martial arts competition! No matter the combination, even if the Jiang Brothers met before the finals, at least one of them would have to face Bai Xiao in a match. There was basically no chance that Bai Xiao would end up facing another contestant in the final round.

Moreover, Chen Xiu also heard the term ’Cross-Training Master’.

He himself was the strongest cross-training man among the young generation of the Eastern Secret Martial World. Naturally, Chen Xiu’s evaluative gaze shifted back to Bai Xiao.

At a glance, a height of one meter eighty-eight, a strong physique. Perfectly proportioned like an inverted triangle, the arms filled with explosive strength, the barely noticeable surging Qi-Blood. The aura of a powerful being inadvertently radiated from him.

All signs were telling that the person before him was no ordinary man.

"What a fierce man!"

Chen Xiu’s eyes showed a tinge of admiration. He was a tough guy himself and, of course, leaned more towards the robust. Such a fierce man, whether as an enemy in combat or as a friend in sparring, would be thrilling for sure! The clash was bound to be solid!

"Moving Mountain Fist, Chen Xiu!"

With hands clasped together, he gave Bai Xiao a salute.

"Fierce Bird Sect, Bai Xiao."

Bai Xiao returned the salute in the same manner.

Quickly, the four came to a corner of the martial arts arena, where there were seats and tea. While sitting and chatting, they gradually talked about the current Dark World martial arts competition, especially information related to the Eastern Seven Stars.

"Liu Xinzong has been accumulating to the limit, and I fear that once the Dark World martial arts competition concludes, he will break through to the Sect Leader Level. By then, it is likely that others will have revelations and breakthroughs as well. In a few months, the title of Eastern Seven Stars might exist in name only..." Mountain King Chen Xiu said during the conversation.

In fact, one of the reasons the Eastern Seven Stars were heavily involved in this Dark World martial arts competition was to seek a breakthrough opportunity.

Battling fiercely with strong opponents without any reservations is the easiest way to gain enlightenment.

The private sparring within the Eastern Seven Stars had previously been far from full strength, with each holding back something, and some even more than a little. This led to the rumor that the winning rates among the Eastern Seven Stars were relatively even. However, the arena of the Dark World martial arts competition provided them with an opportunity.
