Chapter 262: Chapter 0262: Incredulous

In the deepest part of the crowd, Nangong Yunhai’s mouth hung open as he watched the battle in the lake’s center that completely surpassed reality, unable to speak for a long time.

With the fight on the cruise ship as a prelude, Nangong Man Sha was still able to maintain a bit of composure. She glanced at Nangong Yunhai and said softly, "Now you know why I treat him with the utmost respect. To these people, all talk of family power and authority is nothing but a joke!"

Upon saying this, Nangong Man Sha’s eyes suddenly turned cold as she spoke, "After returning to the family this time, go and accept your punishment. If it weren’t for my sake, you would have already died at Huo Tianqian’s villa!"

Hearing this, Nangong Yunhai couldn’t help but shiver.

Indeed, before this, he thought Chu Ge didn’t act against him because he was wary of the Nangong Family’s power. Only at this moment did he realize it was solely because of Nangong Man Sha’s favor!

"Ha ha ha ha, exhilarating!"

After a collision, the fighters separated, and the lake water surged up tens of meters high.

Chu Ge laughed out loud, charging once more towards Shi Wanwang.

Whereas Shi Wanwang’s face was filled with utter shock, fighting with increasing trepidation.

Generally speaking, a martial artist’s Inner Strength always has a limit; as a battle goes on and Inner Strength continues to deplete, it will only get weaker and weaker.

But Chu Ge completely defied this common sense. As the fight dragged on, not only did his aura not weaken, it grew even stronger, each punch mightier than the last!

If he was barely able to exchange blows with him before, now, with each collision of their fists, Shi Wanwang’s hand throbbed with pain, with bright red blood continuously flowing out from between his fingers.

"Boom—"

Finally, with one collision, Shi Wanwang could no longer hold out, a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out, and he retreated hundreds of meters directly backward, finally steadying himself on the lake surface.

"Elder Shi!"

The muscular man watching from the lake’s edge exclaimed in alarm, his face filled with anxiety.

However, he didn’t go over because it would be of no help. Through observing the battle just now, he understood that he probably couldn’t even take one punch from Chu Ge!

The surrounding crowd watching the battle also murmured amongst themselves.

"Alas, truly the waves of the Yangtze River push forward the ones before. The glorious years of Elder Shi have passed and will never return," Elder Yin sighed and shook his head.

"This Mr. Chu, not yet in the Innate Realm, possesses such terrifying combat power. Even an ordinary Innate Grandmaster might not dare claim they could beat him with certainty. Once he advances to the Innate Realm, I can’t imagine how fearsome his strength will be... Invincible in the Innate Realm?"

"Can’t hold out anymore?" Chu Ge looked at the distant Shi Wanwang, whose corner of the mouth still dripped with fresh blood, and shook his head with immense regret.

Just now, he felt the True Qi in his body stir wildly, right in the heat of his excitement, only to find that Shi Wanwang had been directly knocked back by a single punch of his.

"Cough cough cough cough—Incredible."

Shi Wanwang coughed a series of times, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up, and on the water’s surface, he looked at Chu Ge and said, "Mr. Chu’s talent is truly terrifying. Just now, I was confident that even in front of a real Early Innate martial artist, I could achieve victory. Little did I know, in the end, I would still be defeated by Mr. Chu’s hand."

"Elder Shi, have you seen the video that was widely circulated online some time ago?" Chu Ge stood on the boat, hands clasped behind his back, and asked Shi Wanwang in a soft voice.

"Video?"

Shi Wanwang pondered for a while, then suddenly, as if he recalled something, looked at Chu Ge with shock: "Indeed... I was saying that the figure in the video looked very familiar, it seems that it is undoubtedly Mr. Chu!"

The conversation between the two was not concealed, so these words were clearly heard by the people on the nearby shore, instantly causing a stir.

"Who would have thought it was really him! So, this Mr. Chu has not only terrifying strength but also a background that is frighteningly powerful!" The old man who had been preparing to borrow a boat sighed with a complex tone.

Of course, there were also many who hadn’t seen the video and began to ask what exactly had happened.

Soon, someone provided an answer, which spread far and wide, and the news quickly became common knowledge.

"What, are you saying, Mr. Chu defeated an Innate Grandmaster half a month ago?"

"That’s right, even though the fatal blow to that Innate Grandmaster was delivered by someone else, but before that, he was indeed defeated by Mr. Chu!"

At this moment, Elder Yin was also looking at Chu Ge, who stood at the lake’s center, with a complex gaze and he sighed leisurely: "Not yet entered the Innate Realm, yet capable of slaying the Innate, how did such a monstrous talent come to be?"

Meanwhile, at the center of the lake, Shi Wanwang slowly walked back onto the boat, and finally stood firm at the stern.

"Still want to fight?" Chu Ge looked at Shi Wanwang, slightly frowning: "Forgive my bluntness, but based on your performance just now, you’re simply not my match, and continuing will only lead to your death."

To be honest, Chu Ge didn’t want to kill him, after all, there was no serious dispute between them, and the old man’s upright methods had also won Chu Ge’s favor.

"Hehehehe, Mr. Chu, as the saying goes, one cannot judge a book by its cover. Thirty years of silent, dedicated cultivation, Mr. Chu, you’re underestimating me too much."

"Oh?" Chu Ge’s eyes narrowed, staring intently at Shi Wanwang.

Indeed, even though Shi Wanwang can no longer cultivate back to the Innate Realm, thirty years of hard cultivation were no laughing matter, the strength he had shown previously although it could slay those at the Early Innate phase, compared to his experience, was merely mediocre.

Shi Wanwang had a complex look in his eyes as he stared at Chu Ge, seemingly hesitating, but after a long while, he suddenly laughed.

"Hehehe——hahaha, fine, fine, to repay the favor of saving my life, I have lived for thirty years for the Vajra Sect, today, I will completely live for myself!"

At this moment, Shi Wanwang’s face suddenly relaxed, as if he, all of sudden, realized something, letting go of a heavy burden that had been weighing on his back.

In that instant, his somewhat stooped back slowly straightened up, and eventually, he stood at the stern of the boat, straight as a javelin.

And his aura began to climb steadily, with his white hair fluttering without any wind.

"What... what’s going on with Elder Shi?" On the shore, a slightly younger martial artist widened his eyes at Shi Wanwang and asked in a soft voice.

The people around were just as astonished, wondering how the old man, who had been injured and in a losing position just a moment ago, seemed to have gained a burst of vitality like a flickering flame?

Only the dark-skinned Elder Yin, after a moment of frowning in thought, suddenly widened his eyes and muttered softly: "Could it be? Is he attempting... an ultimate sublimation? Is he disregarding his life?"
