Chapter 451: 228 Macho Man

The so-called Dragon Elephant Qi-Blood is actually a state of the physique. To the uninitiated, it may not be conspicuous, but to the privy, it’s glaringly apparent. ’Dragon Elephant Qi-Blood’ refers to the body’s blood resembling lead-mercury; viscous and heavy, generating a rumbling noise within akin to the surging of great rivers when pumped at full force. And when Qi-Blood overflows, it forms a scorching magnetic field around the body, exuding immense deterrence.

The oppressive force is like the roar of a dragon elephant.

Vajra Horizontal Training reflects the hallmark of mastering multiple Hard Skills, layered together. The moment one invokes the Cross Training Method, a faint gold sheen, barely perceptible and resembling amber beeswax, graces the surface of their robust body.

These two aspects are the epitomes of cultivating one’s physique and Hard Skill to profound depths!

And they’re above the Blood Pill level!

Mountain King Chen Xiu had an indescribable look in his eyes—somewhat grave, yet tinged with a hint of surprise. As one of the Eastern Seven Stars and also the only one among them primarily focused on Horizontal Training, he was unparalleled in Horizontal Training expertise among the youth in the Eastern Secret Martial World!

Yet, the arrival of Bai Xiao shattered this phenomenon.

His Hard Skill techniques were probably closing in on Chen Xiu’s own! Although assuredly not his match as Chen Xiu did not sense the aura of the Extreme Realm from Bai Xiao—Chen Xiu knew he could dominate with his Extreme Realm power. However, Bai Xiao’s current state was promising for the future.

Dragon Elephant Qi-Blood and Vajra Horizontal Training were the two signs that a Martial Artist could potentially step into the Extreme Realm. Once any of these appeared, there was a significant chance they could advance to the Extreme Realm upon reaching the Perfect Martial Artist level. And Bai Xiao manifested both...

Mountain King Chen Xiu became silent.

Probably by the time he broke through to the Sect Leader Realm, one more Cross-Training Master by the name of Fierce Fist Bai Xiao would be joining the ranks of the Eastern Seven Stars. Even with a probability of seventy to eighty percent, the Extreme Realm seemed readily within reach to him.

The thought was transient.

In the center of the Martial Arts Arena, Chen Xiu gazed at the sturdy and towering Bai Xiao.

The interest in his heart grew stronger.

"Good!"

He exclaimed in admiration, his arms suddenly expanding as his body-hugging garment shredded inch by inch. Already robust muscles began to swell at an astonishing rate—like a breached dam, overflowing power surged in as if inflating a balloon. Chen Xiu’s upper body muscles bulged, veins popped under the granite-hard grey muscles.

"To encounter such a Cross-Training Master!"

He smiled broadly, his white teeth chilling under the sun. Pulsating forehead and temple veins throbbed with his heart. A surge of scorching body heat radiated outward.

"Then let’s have an exchange or two!"

Mountain King Chen Xiu, standing at two meters three, still had to tilt his head slightly to look at Bai Xiao opposite. He beckoned, and the ground trembled.

"Bang!"

Chen Xiu charged first, shattering the tiles underfoot. His gigantic form compressed the air, upper body leaning back, his arc resembling a full moon.

Five meters away from Bai Xiao, he threw a punch!

"Thunk!!!"

A heavy, massive collision echoed across the Martial Arts Arena.

The two colossal figures violently collided.

They stirred a ferocious tempest, shreds of bricks and dust swirling into the walls with a cacophony of cracking.

"Thunk! Thunk! Thunk!"

In the midst of the mist, Bai Xiao took three steps back, each footprint caused deep fissures around. On the third step, his right foot smashed down like a pile driver, steadying his figure. His arms crossed in front, cast-iron palms gripping a hand blade firmly.

Muscles strained and powerful arms distended fiercely, a continuous creaking struggle between palm and blade, with sparks of gold-red emerging, as if not fleshy palms but two steel plates clashed.

"He only took three steps back!"

"Hahaha, your strength exceeds my expectations!"

"How about from now on, we clash with pure physical power without relying on any techniques or methods?" roared Mountain King Chen Xiu from straight ahead.

"Exactly my thoughts!"

Bai Xiao’s eyes ignited with fervor, a warm rush seemingly swirling at his heart. The surging power within him roared like tides.

"Zzt..."

After a muffled sound, Bai Xiao could no longer suppress the violent Qi-Blood rampaging in his body, a tangible wave carrying white vapor burst forth. Like a roaring gale, it puffed out his clothes, the ensuing wind howling.

"Bang!"

He punched, repelling Mountain King Chen Xiu while shifting his center of gravity down. His legs erupted with muscle power. Like a cannonball, Bai Xiao launched forward, his entire right shoulder drawn back, then lashed out like a ferocious iron whip!

His black-red arm swung, each inch bursting through the air.

"Clang!!!"

Mountain King Chen Xiu’s eyes flashed with precision; he spun a punch, his equally strong arm swinging outward. The two collided midair with a resounding impact.

But as Bai Xiao was charging, his punch carried an additional momentum. Mountain King Chen Xiu’s huge frame was surprisingly pushed back, his feet digging into the ground, tiles flying and shattering, concrete cracking.

"Thunk!"

Chen Xiu’s hefty back smashed against the wall, prompting a shower of plaster. He bellowed low, springing forward, one slam, one elbow. His movement met Bai Xiao’s ensuing punches and kicks, nullifying each other, shaking the ground.
