Back then, Han Qinghe had been a peak genius of the Haotian Sect. He was also the grandmaster-level Martial Sage with the highest hope of advancing to the level of the Blue Robed Emperor in the Haotian Sect.
"Xiao Chen, I'll suppress my cultivation to peak Medial Grade Martial Sage and exchange a few moves with you. Let's see if you are as the Sect Master said, reborn."
What? The mysterious black-cloaked person in the air is actually the Qing Emperor's descendant, Xiao Chen, who has been missing for two years and was once the talk of the town.
The moment Han Qinghe said this, a huge commotion broke out in the drill ground. Several of the newly advanced half-Sages looked towards the sky.
Xiao Chen. Two years ago, this name had spread throughout the entire Kunlun Realm, shaking up the entire place. Unfortunately, after that shocking feat at the Sage Mark Monument, Xiao Chen never appeared again. There were rumors that he was trapped in the Sage Mark Monument.
In the past two years, several new talents had risen up, becoming famous. However, in terms of legend, none of them could compare to Xiao Chen.
How strong was Di Wuque? Now, he was shining brightly, completely rising up. Even the older-generation Martial Sages were inferior to him.
Some of the geniuses of the strong races that had existed since the Ancient Era did not dare to underestimate Di Wuque.
Two years ago, Xiao Chen ruthlessly kicked the top genius of the younger generation at the Sage Mark Monument, sending him flying into the air.
Even if people temporarily forgot the name Xiao Chen, they would not be able to erase it from the depths of their memories.
After removing the Heavenly Sea Cloak, Xiao Chen landed firmly on the ground. Then, he performed a cupped-fist salute and said, "First Elder, please give me some pointers."
This was a simple action, but Xiao Chen gave off a certain air. Others might not be able to tell, but Han Qinghe frowned. This was the air of a grandmaster.
At such a young age, Xiao Chen already had the air and demeanor of the older-generation that had lived for hundreds of years. What kind of metamorphosis did this fellow undergo?
Han Qinghe rejoiced in his heart. He felt an itch to test out Xiao Chen's true strength.
If Xiao Chen was just putting on an act, that would be too disappointing.
"Be careful. I'm coming."
Right after Elder Han spoke, he charged at Xiao Chen with a loud 'boom.' A fierce flame blazed on his body. As he moved, he became like a blazing star, dragging a long tail as he flickered through the cosmos.
When he attacked, he used his best Martial Technique, Star Burning Fist.
Once it was spread out, the entire practice ground seemed to have turned into a vast starry sky, giving off a boundless pressure.
This startled the observing disciples and inner sect elders. This Burning Star Fist was a Superior Grade Heaven Ranked Martial Technique. Furthermore, Elder Han had practiced it for many years.
Although Xiao Chen had suppressed his cultivation to peak Medial Grade Martial Sage, he had used this move the moment he started. With his current cultivation, it was too difficult to do so.
Xiao Chen did not dodge. He thought to himself, Good timing. He shifted his feet slightly and assumed a stance. Then, he punched as well. His aura suddenly changed.
Xiao Chen's body was like a saber, his intent was like a saber, and his fist was as sharp as a saber. This punch actually gave people the feeling that it was a treasured sword that had been unsheathed.
A cold light flashed, and its sharpness was unparalleled. It contained the explosive force of the fist light and the cold sharpness of the saber.
"Bang!"
The two fists clashed, and there was a loud explosion. The two each took ten steps back. They were evenly matched. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen clashed head-on with Elder Han's best Martial Technique.
The knife-like electric light in the fist light caused Han Qinghe to feel a piercing pain, greatly startling him.
After refining it a few times, Xiao Chen tried to get rid of the sharp, knife-like electric light. However, he discovered that even with his Medial Grade Martial Sage's Law Energy, he could not do so.
Not wanting to go back on his word, Xiao Chen circulated more energy. However, this knife-like electric light was painful and numb. Although it did not cause any fundamental damage to him, it was unbearably painful.
Unable to resist, Xiao Chen stood still for a moment and used the Law Energy that only Superior Grade Martial Sages possessed. In the end, Xiao Chen discovered that he could not get rid of it instantly. Only when he raised his energy to Superior Grade Martial Sage did he manage to do so.
On the surface, it looked like this exchange was a draw. In reality, Han Qinghe had gone back on his word and used the Law Energy of a peak Superior Grade Martial Sage, so he had already lost.
Of course, others, including Xiao Chen, would not notice this small action.
Han Qinghe could not help but smile bitterly. Against such a junior, he actually lost by half a move. If word of this got out, it would be very embarrassing.
However, the more it was like this, the more it proved Xiao Chen's strength. That aura was not just for show.
Han Qinghe laughed loudly and said, "After not seeing you for two years, you have really given me a pleasant surprise. Again! Receive my Golden Crow Spreading Wings!"
Han Qinghe's body spun around and soared into the air. He spread his arms out like a divine bird spreading its wings. He was incredibly strong, and a strong wind blew, causing space to tremble.
Torrential flames spread out from Han Qinghe's back, and a fiery aura instantly filled the entire training ground.
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes. The instant Elder Han spread his arms and soared into the air, it was like he had turned into a true Golden Crow.
A vast aura locked down on Xiao Chen, and the light in Elder Han's eyes became as sharp as lightning. Elder Han moved very quickly, like a Golden Crow hunting for food. In the next moment, he would tear Xiao Chen, his prey, in half.
Clearly, Elder Han had grasped the essence of this move. The soul, intent, and momentum were all brought to their limits. Even a Superior Grade Martial Sage would not dare to face such a move head-on.
They would either defend with all their might or flee in a sorry state.
The moment an expert made a move, it was clear whether they were skilled or not. When the First Elder Han Qinghe used Golden Crow Spreading Wings, the eyes of all the disciples and Elders present lit up.
The First Elder truly lived up to his name. He brought out a hundred and thirty percent of the Golden Crow Spreading Wings' combat prowess. If an ordinary person could bring out eighty percent of this move's combat prowess, they would be praised for it.
She thought with some anticipation. However, she did not know if Xiao Chen would dare to clash head-on with this move.
"Good move!"
Xiao Chen shouted and executed the Kun Peng Fist. He spread his arms as well, and the Law Energy behind him materialized a Kun Peng.
The Kun Peng and the Golden Crow were Holy Beasts of the Immortal Epoch, Holy Spirits of legends. Xiao Chen's Kun Peng Fist and the First Elder's Golden Crow Spreading Wings were very similar.
On the surface, they looked similar. However, on the inside, they were completely different.
Han Qinghe had thoroughly studied the Golden Crow Spreading Wings. With more than a hundred years of experience and his peak comprehension ability, he could bring out a hundred and thirty percent of this move's might. If he used his full power, he could even bring out a might that was twice as strong.
As for Xiao Chen, he walked an unconventional path, blazing a new path. He used his body as a saber and his intent as a saber. Now, when he executed the Kun Peng Fist, it also contained an unparalleled sharp saber intent.
In the past year or so, Xiao Chen had not only spent his time cultivating these two Magic Skills. He had also not stopped thinking about the Martial Dao.
Without a saber in his hand, he used his body as a saber, his heart as a saber, and his intent as a saber. Every move, every punch, and every kick, was a saber. Xiao Chen's figure flashed, and he drew his saber. His gaze pierced out, and saber intent surged out.
The immortal will of thunder that contained the vague form of a saber soul was compatible with a Rank 3 physical body. Combined with his many years of immersion in the Saber Technique, he walked a path that no one had before or since, creating his own Dao.
When the Kun Peng spread its wings, it hated the sky for being too low. With just one glance, it could cover the sky.
When Xiao Chen spread his arms, a strong wind blew. This wind was even more ferocious than the First Elder's, Han Qinghe. Xiao Chen's punch arrived before Han Qinghe even though he moved later.
The roles of prey and predator changed in an instant. In Han Qinghe's eyes, the approaching Xiao Chen was clearly a Kun Peng. However, the image that appeared in Han Qinghe's mind was that of a powerful treasure saber shining with a sharp light.
Not only did Xiao Chen have a ninety-percent-comprehended saber intent, but it also contained the even more horrifying immortal will of thunder. Xiao Chen had taken a different approach to this Kun Peng Fist. He had already surpassed the limits of what the Heavenly Roc King could do back then, turning it into a completely different move.
Han Qinghe's thoughts changed in an instant. He knew that if he used the combat prowess of a peak Medial Grade Martial Sage to clash with this move, he would lose for sure. "Boom!"
Xiao Chen's aura surged wildly. Before Xiao Chen's fist light approached, his strength soared to that of a Superior Grade Martial Sage. He brought out the might of the Golden Crow Spreading Wings twice as much.
The two fists clashed again. The two in the air each moved back a hundred steps. Xiao Chen's aura surged. The scorching aura of the Solar True Flame penetrated the surface defenses of Xiao Chen's body and penetrated his internal defenses, heading for his internal organs.
The Heavenly Sage Laws in Xiao Chen's body quickly flew out and wrapped around this scorching aura. Then, he used the power of lightning to slowly purify it.
The First Elder, Han Qinghe, waved his hand and smiled helplessly. "Let's not fight anymore. Let's not fight anymore. If we continue, I will have nowhere to hide my old face. I lost in the first move. After not seeing you for two years, Xiao Chen, you have indeed undergone a complete transformation. You have not let down the Sect Master's expectations. "
Xiao Chen performed a cupped-fist salute and said, "First Elder is too humble. If you had used your full power, this little one would not have been able to block even one move."
These words were the truth. Han Qinghe was a grandmaster-level Martial Sage, only one step shy of advancing to the Blue Robed Emperor. If Han Qinghe used his full power, the instant the Burning Star Fist flew over, Xiao Chen would not even be able to see its shadow.
This was the result of the huge difference in cultivation. There was nothing embarrassing about it. When Xiao Chen's cultivation increased, he would naturally have nothing to fear.
Xiao Chen's words were unintentional, but when Han Qinghe heard them, he felt extremely satisfied. Although Han Qinghe admitted defeat, this Xiao Chen was very sensible, immediately giving Han Qinghe a way out of this embarrassing situation.
After all, Han Qinghe had been defeated in two moves before so many inner sect Elders and junior-generation disciples. He still cared about his face.
The Elders and junior-generation disciples all looked at Xiao Chen, not daring to underestimate him. Xiao Chen's cultivation had not improved much in the past two years. However, his combat prowess had increased significantly.
"He defeated the First Elder, who suppressed his cultivation, in two moves. Right now, Senior Brother Xiao Chen is probably no weaker than the peak geniuses of the various races who left their names on the Sage Mark Monument."
"I believe that the geniuses of the strong ancient races that appeared recently would not be much stronger than Senior Brother Xiao Chen."
