Chapter 496: Chapter 496: My Master is Someone Skilled at Creating Miracles!

"Under their feet?"

Dragon Maiden followed Long Jingtian’s gaze and looked closely, only then did she notice the giant stone platform under Fang Bai and Xuan Nan’s feet, which was several zhang in circumference and extremely tough, had unexpectedly developed visible cracks.

It turned out that when they issued their True Essence Force during the fist and palm contact, it surged into the stone platform below through their feet, and as a result, the massive stone platform couldn’t withstand the simultaneous impact of the two robust True Essence Forces and began to crack from where both individuals were standing, extending outwards in all directions.

If this continued, the stone platform might very well collapse after a couple more exchanges.

"Both of them have reached a realm where they can summon and control their True Essence at will, with astonishing precision. Incredible! This isn’t something that can be achieved overnight. How did Fang Bai manage to do this?"

Long Jingtian once again felt amazed.

Xuan Nan was a centenarian Shaolin prodigy, so Long Jingtian was not surprised by his strength, taking it as only natural.

But Fang Bai was merely in his twenties and not particularly well-known before, so his performance greatly shocked Long Jingtian.

Based on the speed of Fang Bai’s movement when he left the "Martial Dao Tower" and the power behind the punch he just threw, Long Jingtian felt that if he were to face Fang Bai, the scales of victory would probably tip slightly in Fang Bai’s favor.

Fang Bai was still so young, if after another ten or twenty years, how powerful would his abilities become?

By then, even if Master Xuan Nan was still in good health, he would likely have to admit defeat in Fang Bai’s presence, wouldn’t he?

"Who could the Master who taught Fang Bai his Martial Arts Techniques be? Being able to mold Fang Bai so powerfully, could they be an entity even stronger than a Heaven Level Martial Artist?"

Long Jingtian looked at Fang Bai’s upright figure on the stone platform, his thoughts drifting as he began to take a deep interest in Fang Bai’s "Master."

Unfortunately, Long Jingtian was unaware that the so-called "Master" Fang Bai spoke of didn’t actually exist; he was merely a fictitious character made up by Fang Bai.

Fang Bai’s strength was due to the countless past life Martial Arts Techniques and secret techniques in his mind, and the body he had taken over was the seldom-seen Chaos True Body. The combination of both meant he was destined for greatness.

"Master is formidable!"

"Young Benefactor Fang isn’t bad either!"

"I put all my strength into that punch, but Master, you still held back, didn’t you?"

"Hehe, Young Benefactor Fang is the first to make this old monk use up to eighty percent of his strength."

"Master, let us continue! You have not defeated me yet!"

"Does Young Benefactor Fang still have the confidence to battle? Could it be that you have a winning ace up your sleeve?"

"Haha, you’ll know once you try, Master!"

"Good! If I do not defeat you within three moves, I shall consider myself defeated!"

On the stone platform, Fang Bai and Xuan Nan finished their conversation, and their figures simultaneously retreated, creating a distance of three zhang between them.

The onlookers heard the exchange between the two clearly, and everyone except for Ghost Hand displayed an expression of expectation, thinking that Fang Bai had not lost yet because Xuan Nan had not used his full strength.

Now that Xuan Nan had declared that if he didn’t defeat Fang Bai within three moves, he would lose the duel, it indicated that this Shaolin marvel was prepared to give his all.

Xuan Ku and Jueren were certain of Xuan Nan’s victory, and they looked forward to his upcoming full-power attack with anticipation mixed with excitement.

Long Jingtian and Dragon Maiden, however, were somewhat worried, concerned that Fang Bai wouldn’t be able to withstand Xuan Nan’s full-force attack, and might be injured as a result.

Ghost Hand held an almost fanatical admiration and blind faith in Fang Bai, firmly believing that Fang Bai would not lose.

The snowstorm had intensified quite a bit from before, with the strong north wind whipping up the heavy snowfall from the sky and pouring into the valley. If one didn’t focus carefully now, they could hardly make out the figures of the two on the stone platform.

Long Jingtian and Xuan Ku took big steps forward, moving closer to the direction of the stone platform, hoping to gain a clearer understanding and perhaps derive some insight from the fight between Fang Bai and Xuan Nan.

Old monks like Jueren and Jueyi also didn’t want to miss the rare battle between strong fighters, so they moved a few meters closer.

Knowing their limits and aware that they couldn’t withstand the oppressive force and True Essence shockwaves produced by Fang Bai and Xuan Nan’s exchange, Ghost Hand and Dragon Maiden remained where they were without moving.

"Hey, aren’t you worried about your master?"

Dragon Maiden shot a glance at Ghost Hand, noticing not a single shade of anxiety on his face, she couldn’t help but ask.

"Why should I be worried?"

Ghost Hand countered.

"That last strike, your master put all his effort into it, but Master Xuan Nan still held back some strength! From this, we can infer that your master is no match for Master Xuan Nan!"

"Who wins and who loses is only known after the battle! Let me tell you, my master is good at creating miracles!"

Ghost Hand said with pride on his face.

When Ghost Hand first became Fang Bai’s disciple, he was merely a Yellow Level Martial Artist. In just over half a year, he became unbeatable at the Profound Level.

And Fang Bai himself, being merely at the middle stage of the Earth Level, was able to hold his ground against a Heaven Level Martial Artist.

These were the miracles created by Fang Bai.

Aside from him, who else in this world could achieve such feats?

"Master is overly confident, challenging a Heaven Level Martial Artist; the disciple blindly worships, lavishing empty flattery! This master and disciple pair truly is... is truly exceptional!"

Dragon Maiden muttered under her breath.

Ghost Hand chuckled, "heh heh", without paying her any more attention, his gaze sharp as lightning, piercing through the heavy curtains of snow toward the two increasingly blurred figures on the stone platform.

"Amitabha! Young Benefactor Fang, be careful!"

The aged and resounding voice of Master Xuan Nan rose amidst the wind and snow, signaling the start of another assault.

He swept his broad sleeves against the wind, rolling dozens of snowflakes into his sleeve, then with the warmth of the True Essence Force, he compacted them into an ice leaf and flicked it forward with his finger.

Whoosh—

The ice leaf shot out from beneath Master Xuan Nan’s sleeve, carrying the powerful True Essence Force, breaking through the air and shooting straight toward Fang Bai.

Whoosh—

Whoosh—

Whoosh—

Before the first ice leaf reached Fang Bai, a second, third, and fourth were successively flicked from Master Xuan Nan’s fingertips, all aiming directly at Fang Bai.

These small ice leaves, imbued with the True Essence Force of a Heaven Level expert, were extremely sturdy. Even if they struck an iron plate, they would leave deep marks.

"To think Shaolin’s Thousand Leaf Finger, when used by Master Xuan Nan, could be so formidable!"

Within Shaolin’s secret techniques, the Thousand Leaf Finger wasn’t particularly outstanding. Yet, in the hands of Xuan Nan, it turned decay into magic, eliciting great admiration from Long Jingtian.

The four ice leaves, carrying the supreme True Essence Force and moving at great speed, arrived in front of Fang Bai in a flash—one targeting his chest while the other three blocked Fang Bai’s left, right, and upward escape routes, cutting off his chance to dodge.

In other words, Fang Bai had no other option but to hard block the ice leaf aimed straight at his chest.

The problem was, that tiny ice leaf was not only exceptionally strong but also sharper than a blade’s edge. How could Fang Bai defend against it with just his bare hands?

Even if he could barely block it, getting injured was inevitable.

In the eyes of Long Jingtian and the others, Fang Bai’s strength was already inferior to Xuan Nan’s. Once injured, his combat power would definitely be compromised, which was almost tantamount to defeat.
