Chapter 57: Beyond the Sky Lies Another Sky

  Shen Xiang walked up to the old man who was presiding over the martial competition and said, "I have obtained the final victory. Can I receive my reward now?"

  The old man's face showed some impatience, and he said: "I'm just presiding over the certification, the reward isn't mine to give. The True Yuan Dan is from that sect, if you want it, you'll have to go through their assessment."

  Shen Xiang's face flashed a smile, although it was very charming, but the old man didn't know why he felt extremely terrified, and couldn't help but shiver. Just now, he seemed to have been pierced by a chilling aura that went through his bones, making him feel like death was right in front of him.

  Shen Xiang was just furious, so he inadvertently released that terrifying killing aura. He knew that this martial path would be manipulated by others from start to finish, and even the ultimate winner would find it difficult to obtain that True Yuan Dan.

  Shen Furen has arrived. This is a member of the older generation of the Shen family, but he has hindered his own family's development by fawning on the Medicine King in the Wudang Sect and even attacked the head of his own clan.

  From the moment Shen Tianhu was injured by him, the Shens no longer recognized Shen Furong as a member of the Shen family.

  Shen Furong followed a man with clear eyebrows and white skin, who was extremely beautiful and emitted a very pure aura, it was obvious that he was a martial artist with thick and pure aura.

  "Shen Xiang, I didn't expect you would actually let Dan Wang Ge open for business again and even injured my newly recruited disciple..."

  Yao Cong's master was actually Shen Fuhong!

  "Shut up, you family traitor! The Shen family doesn't have people like you. What I want to do is my business, what does it have to do with you? Why should I get your approval for doing the Dan medicine business? Who do you think you are? You're just a dog who only knows how to lick other people's **." Shen Xiang shouted loudly, his voice echoing throughout the entire square. The Shen family members hiding in the crowd felt relieved upon hearing this.

  "You... you little brat, are you looking for death?" Shen Furong's face turned red with rage, and he was about to strike, but was blocked by the man in front of him.

  "Let me cross swords with the strongest young man in Nanwu Country, I'd like to see what skills he has to win that True Yuan Dan." The man said coldly, with an expression of looking down on others, as if he thought he was the strongest in the world.

  Shen Xiang also replied coldly: "You people from the various sects, participating in worldly affairs, this is a violation of the rules, especially that old dog."

  "You..." Shen Fu Rong glared at Shen Xiang with both eyes, he knew these rules, but he didn't care about that much, he thought no one would pursue the matter here, nor would anyone report him.

  "If you win me, the Zhenyuan Dan is yours, but if you lose, you will die." The man said coldly.

  "Why should I die just because I lost?" Shen Xiang said coldly.

  "Because no one who has ever fought me in a duel has lived to tell the tale." Zhang Long said with an arrogant expression.

  Shen Xiang suddenly burst out laughing, as if he had heard the most hilarious joke: "Aren't you just a mere 8th level of the Mortal Martial Realm? You're nothing but dogshit in the eyes of those inner sect disciples. Don't think that just because you've come to the secular world, you can act like some kind of supreme ruler. Your abilities are still not even worth looking at."

  Zhang Long's anger erupted, his entire body emitting a chilling aura, his eyes filled with murderous intent: "You will undoubtedly die today."

  Shen Xiang didn't know how Shen Fu Rong had managed to attract such a self-righteous person, who seemed to view everyone in the secular world as nothing more than ants.

  Everyone retreated at this time, and the power of the eighth-order martial arts was extremely great. However, they were excited because the rumor was true. In the end, they still had to defeat a disciple of the Wudao Gate to get the reward. That was a disciple of the Wudao Gate, and it was also good to see their battle, which could bring benefits to many warriors.

  The ground was littered with shattered wooden blocks, the result of Shen Xiang's earlier kick that destroyed the martial arts platform. Shen Fu Rong retreated from the center, he had great confidence in Zhang Long, he knew Shen Xiang was doomed, and when the time came, the Shen family would definitely be annexed by the Yao family, his relationship with those Yao family members within the Wudang Sect would become even better.

  "You look older than me, you think winning like this is glorious? I'm only 16 years old!" Shen Xiang said with a fake smile.

  If he didn't mention it, everyone would have really overlooked his age. Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but sigh inwardly - at just sixteen years old, he's already so accomplished, a renowned young strongman.

  "Then I'll let you have one move, I'll stand here without moving, and after that one move, I'll strike back."

  Zhang Long had just arrived, and Shen Furong told him that Shen Xiang's strength was probably around the 7th level of Mortal Martial Realm, while Zhang Long was at the 8th level of Mortal Martial Realm. He looked down on this even more, let alone the fact that his opponent was a Dan cultivator, who would certainly not focus on martial arts and therefore must be very weak.

  Anyone who has reached the 8th level of martial arts in the secular world is already a top-notch martial artist, let alone those disciples from the martial arts sects. Inside, they absorb dense spiritual energy, eat spiritual grain and elixir, practice superior true energy techniques, and their martial skills are beyond comparison to those in the secular world.

  "Want me to take a move?" Shen Xiang's tone and expression remained unchanged, but his heart was secretly delighted. Let alone being hit by an ordinary martial artist of the 8th level, even if he were to be hit by one of the 9th level, it wouldn't feel good.

  "Zhang Long sneered: 'You'd better use all your strength, because that's the last attack of your life. Once you're done, it's your time to die.'"

  "I'm going to attack!" Shen Xiang retreated a few steps, secretly rejoicing in his heart. He didn't think there would be such an arrogant fool.

  Zhang Long sneered, his body shook, and a pure white mist emanated from him, transforming into a strong aura that formed an aura shield, enveloping his body. People in the square could feel the solidity of the aura shield from afar, as the moment it was formed, the wooden debris on the ground instantly turned to dust.

  "Good guy, indeed a bit of skill, but this level still disappoints me!" Shen Xiang thought to himself as he circulated the Taiji Divine Technique, mobilizing the Five Elements True Energy within his body.

  Last time he defeated Shen Yihans with the strength of Fang Wu Jing's fifth heavy, using the five elements of true energy, after the five elements merged, transformed into the power of Qian Kun, this is the ancient power of the beginning of chaos, it is the power to open up the entire sky and earth, its power can be imagined, while Shen Xiang's Qian Kun power is only in an embryonic state.

  But it was already quite terrifying, last time he exerted himself and his body could hardly bear it, but now it's different, he is a mortal warrior of the eighth level, and his body has undergone the tempering of the Xianmo Tan, slowly transforming into a Xianmo body, now his body can already withstand this power of the universe.

  This was his strongest power, which he rarely used. Seeing that the white idiot in front of him wanted to die so much, he decided to send him on his way and let him know what it means to have a higher power before he died.

  The five elements of true energy were quickly merged together by Shen Xiang, transformed into the power of Qiankun, surging into his arm, but without emitting any aura. At this moment, Shen Xiang had already flown over!
