Chapter 419: Chapter 295: Fist Gang Sword Radiance

Every eye was on Li Yi at this moment; they were all eager to find out just what kind of splendor a Martial Artist Evolver could burst forth with, and just how they themselves compared to this man named Li Yi.

Not only were the other Evolver candidates interested, but the three examiners were paying close attention as well.

However, to know the reality of the situation, one would have to see whether Shen Chong could force out all of his opponent’s cards and potential within three strikes.

Soon.

Shen Chong made his move.

He didn’t burst out at maximum speed like before but slowed down and charged directly towards Li Yi, and as he raised his hand, power beyond the physical limits of the Spiritual Realm blasted forth. Even from a distance, the air wailed, a white air wave piercing through, akin to a speeding train, capable of destroying everything in its path.

"This Shen Chong really doesn’t plan to hold back, his power is slightly exceeding the limit..." Yu Hai, standing by, revealed a trace of surprise in his eyes.

This power that surpassed limits wasn’t something a Spiritual Perception Master could use; it was a mark of the Soul Realm powerhouses.

"The speed is slower compared to when he was fighting me, is he intentionally going easy? No, that’s not right, although the speed has decreased, the power has increased. This isn’t holding back; he wants to test the strength of Li Yi," the purple-eyed man mused silently, watching the scene unfold.

At this moment, Li Yi too discerned Shen Chong’s intent.

Wanting to see his power.

Good.

He would let it all burst forth.

Li Yi’s vertical pupils shone bright, his whole body’s aura instantly stimulated, exuding his Martial Artist’s presence, a force that can flip mountains and rivers, wreck havoc across eight provinces, make Emperors bleed, and change the sun and moon. This presence, merged with his punching technique, laid the foundation for his future unique punching intent.

With the momentum swelling, all his muscles and bones resounded in unison, the Qi-Blood within his nine acupoints erupting in an instant.

His fist hadn’t even begun to demonstrate its power when blood radiance condensed, and Fist Gang flickered.

"Kill!"

An astonishing killing intent erupted. As Li Yi threw his punch, the air shattered instantaneously, and a deafening boom burst forth from his fist, like thunder striking close to the ear, startling one’s heart into a violent contraction.

Thunder God’s Hammer!

This was a move belonging to Li Yi, originating from Zhao Ge’s Shaking Mountain Fist, emphasizing the channeling of the entire body’s power into one, relentlessly advancing, overpowering his opponent with sheer force.

"This guy..."

The faces of other examiners swiftly changed upon sensing the power contained within Li Yi’s Fist Gang.

Such a punch didn’t even need physical contact; the very Fist Gang was enough to blast through a person from a distance, and the power it unleashed was beyond what even peak Spiritual Realm Evolvers could achieve, definitely surpassing the limits.

The two now confronted each other with their fists.

A collision of pure strength, without any fanciness.

"Boom!"

Amidst the billowing wave of Qi, fist met fist, both forces discharging and exploding in a split second. Li Yi’s Fist Gang was penetrated first; the diffused Fist Gang scattered, turning into streaks of Gang Qi erratically spreading out in all directions, easily ripping through the ground wherever they touched.

Having broken through the Fist Gang, Shen Chong was completely unharmed; his physical condition was too robust. As a powerhouse of the Soul Realm, even with suppressed power, he was not to be underestimated.

The next moment.

The two fists touched.

Terrifying power burst forth once more, traveling from the arms to the entire body—the contest of strength came to a rapid conclusion.

"Who will give way?" Everyone stared at Shen Chong and Li Yi, anxious to know the outcome.

Soon.

As a wave of Qi spread out, the ground near Li Yi’s feet cracked instantaneously. Soon after, his sturdy body was forcefully pushed back a full three meters by that power before finally coming to a stop nearly ten centimeters deep into the cement ground.

But Shen Chong, the examiner, wasn’t having it easy; under the impact of that force, he too couldn’t help but take a few steps back.

"Good, the might of your explosion of power has exceeded my expectations. If I weren’t in the Soul Realm, I wouldn’t have had much of an advantage with this strike," Shen Chong said excitedly. He thought that Professor Zhang Songlin had asked him to let Li Yi pass by going easy, but Li Yi’s performance was outstanding.

There was no need for him to hold back; with such strength, there was no problem for Li Yi to enter the Golden Academy.

"Come again, the second strike, let’s see if you still have such power." Shen Chong was still unscathed, laughing heartily as he swung his fist again, not giving Li Yi any chance to catch his breath.

This time, he also slowed down, giving Li Yi the opportunity to adjust and counterattack.

Though it was somewhat lenient, no one would complain because the difficulty of the assessment had already increased. Otherwise, considering the force of that one punch, some would have fainted on the spot, and it would have been impossible to pass such an assessment.

"Come."

Li Yi took a deep breath, his spine as tight as a dragon, the Qi-Blood in his nine acupoints surging at this moment. His legs sunk, his body bent, resembling a tightly drawn bow, as the power within his body was once again called upon.

"Is this... a martial technique?" Yu Hai’s eyes twinkled, seeing something intriguing.

At this point, Li Yi could afford no thought of stealing techniques. The killing move he was employing, once used by an old servant by Fan Zhizhou’s side, was called Divine Bow Shooting the Sun.

His body the bow, his fist the arrow, with feet grounded unmoving, and the body’s sinews twisted into a bowstring, a punch shot out was enough to pierce through the sun.

This move is a frontal, life-threatening killing technique. Because this martial arts technique has a flaw—when used, the body can’t move—hence, family disciples usually do not practice it. Instead, it is taught to their bodyguards and servants, for guards and servants cannot retreat when facing danger. They must stay and kill the enemies behind their masters.

But a flaw does not mean the technique is poor; on the contrary, this martial arts technique is excellent, just a bit extreme.

Shen Chong charged in for the kill, his body’s limit strength once again stimulated. This time, his strength was even greater than before. Those who didn’t know any better might think that Li Yi had offended the assessor, not realizing that the two had exchanged greetings and had a certain relationship.

"Li Yi, don’t blame me for not taking care of you. By forcing out all your potential, I am truly looking out for you. Only by demonstrating tremendous strength will you be noticed once you enter the Golden Academy, and only then will you have the chance to stand out. Don’t end up like me, forced to come out here and assess."

Shen Chong thought this to himself.

With that thought, he threw another punch.

"Divine Bow Shooting the Sun!"

Li Yi let out a long howl, his divine power erupting once more. This moment, Fist Gang shone brilliantly, like an arrow, capable of penetrating and tearing through everything in its path at high speed. That vigorous Qi-Blood surged, tinting everything in its vicinity crimson. Ordinary Evolvers who merely approached would be overwhelmed by this terrifying Qi-Blood, gasping for air.

Boom!

The second strike was another head-on clash, with power dispersing in all directions, instantly shattering the ground around them. The broken stones splattered, raising clouds of dust.

"Damn, Li Yi’s strength can still improve?" Jiang Mingtian swore as he felt that power, now understanding why Li Yi, who practiced both cultivation and martial arts, was so highly valued by the assessor.

Martial Arts combined with physical evolution is simply perfect.

It’s like a chemical reaction, where the potential of the body is stimulated, and at the same realm, the upper limit of evolution is raised.

This caused Li Yi, at the realm of Spiritual Sense, to unleash power far beyond his realm; an average Spiritual Perception Master would not be able to take even one of his punches.

"Is this Li Yi’s true strength? Unbelievably, that rookie who knew nothing at first has grown this much." At that moment, Lin Yue also revealed a shocked expression in her beautiful eyes. She had watched Li Yi grow up every step of the way.

When Li Yi first visited Uncle Biao’s Meditation Room, he was just an ordinary person who hadn’t even touched cultivation.

But now, Li Yi could rival geniuses from all over, even surpassing them.

Thinking of this, Lin Yue felt a mix of emotions ranging from sentimentality to pride, for Li Yi was someone she had personally mentored, a sense of achievement that not just anyone could imagine.

"The seed of Martial Arts is indeed extraordinary," the purple-eyed man said, his expression changing slightly. Such a punch, honestly, he could not block.

It had broken the limits of Spiritual Sense. Only a Soul Realm expert who entered the fray could suppress him; it was nearly impossible for someone of the same realm to spar with such a person, unless the opponent was also a Martial Arts-talented genius.

"This Li Yi is even stronger than me... My Ritual Dance, Solar Totem is intricate, but it’s not as effective in unleashing human potential as Martial Arts." At that moment, Di Zhu’an lowered his gaze slightly, sensing the gap between himself and Li Yi.

If it weren’t for the assessor deliberately raising the difficulty level, forcing the other party’s potential to erupt, he would never have believed such a vast disparity in strength could exist between individuals of the same realm.

"Boom!"

The roaring sound of Fist Power echoed.

At this moment, the one retreating was not Li Yi, but Shen Chong. His body staggered backward, sliding a dozen meters before stopping, and he started to sustain injuries; flesh on his fist split open with blood dripping, but it was just a minor abrasion, nothing serious.

"If it weren’t for the bodily qualities of the Soul Realm, I would really lose face. This Li Yi has given me a surprise," Shen Chong was even more excited now, feeling like he had unearthed a seed of potential for the future.

But Li Yi, who had just released the Divine Bow Shooting the Sun technique, was not feeling well.

His bloodied fist sent pain throughout his body, his bones felt as though they were falling apart, and while he didn’t take a step back, his legs were almost numb.

Soul Realm experts are truly as Professor Zhang said, the soul commands the flesh, the shackles on the body are lifted, and the strength is terrifyingly powerful, almost inhuman.

In that second exchange, Li Yi felt an endless force within Shen Chong, bottomless, and knew he was holding back, else he would have lost miserably.

"This Shen Chong is much more fierce than Zhang Xun who led the cross-boundary mission... Modest as they are at the bottom of Golden Academy, they are still geniuses that have entered the Academy, not comparable to ordinary Soul Realm experts," Li Yi thought coldly, his breathing a bit disorderly.

But he took control of his Qi-Blood again and slowly pulled his legs out from the concrete floor.

One more strike and the assessment would be complete.

But Li Yi did not plan to retreat.

Martial Artists value pressing the opponent with momentum—losing the punch is acceptable, but never lose the spirit.

"Kill!"

Li Yi suddenly roared, reaching out as if he tore the air from mid-air. The concentrated Gang Qi coalesced without dispersing into a sword with flashing aura, then upon summoning the Guiding Skill, cosmic energy converged, forming a resplendent sword in an instant.

This was his Hundred Refinement Gang Qi.

If he couldn’t win with strength, then he would test the edge of Gang Qi.

"Sword aura?" At this moment, Jiang Mingtian was struck dumb.

Nice, you’ve got something up your sleeve.

If such sword aura were combined with my sword, wouldn’t that be a match made in heaven?

Moreover, he didn’t expect Li Yi to know Guiding Skill, though it seemed he wasn’t particularly adept in it.

It’s understandable.

How could someone who practices Martial Arts have the extra effort to master the Guiding Skill? Reaching this level is already quite impressive.
