Only seventeen years old, yet with such terrifying strength.

  "He's on the path of gun fu, but I'm skilled in knife techniques! How can I teach him? In terms of gun fu, I'm probably not even as good as he is. Although he's only a latecomer now, purely in terms of atmosphere, he's not much different from me! I fundamentally cannot teach him. Moreover, I already have my treasured disciple! No need to take on another... Kill him? If I kill him now, Zhuge Yuanhong will definitely fly into a rage and even come here himself. If he finds out it was me who killed him, that would be troublesome."

  As for Zhuge Yuanhong, this old man still has a fearful intention.

  "Even if he can't find out, once he comes, the Black Fire Spirit Fruit will be hard to take back! Hmm, big deal, wait until I take the Black Fire Spirit Fruit and then destroy this Teng Qing Mountain! Hmph, and then destroy the evidence, Zhuge Yuanhong will definitely not be able to find out! Zhuge Yuanhong, who let you help Wei Wuyue? This time it's not my fault!"

  The silver-haired old man had a plan in mind and smiled as he watched the battle.

  At this moment, cheers erupted all around!

  Everyone was in awe of Teng Qing Shan, just now Teng Qing Shan's strike was indeed beautiful. With a long spear unfolding, it seemed like an obedient swimming dragon, sometimes mysterious and swift, sometimes fierce and violent. This one move with the dancing long spear actually knocked down the master of the Heavy Sword Sect, 'Simu Feng', who couldn't get up.

  "Wang, you've also been famous for decades, why not go challenge him? If you win, your name will be known throughout the land." A lean man with a sly smile said beside the silver-haired old man in gray robes.

  "Yes, Old Wang, you're also one of the top masters in our Fan Wu City." Someone else chimed in.

  The silver-haired old man shook his head and laughed: "You don't know my strength? Comparing with the top masters of the 'Earth List'? Are you tired of living?" The surrounding warriors also burst out laughing, teasing this "Wang Yun", who was a fairly strong warrior from Xu Yang County's Fan Wu City.

  It can also be said to have reached the pinnacle of acquired mastery.

  The old man with silver hair and gray robes was ridiculed by others, but he still had a smiling face, only a flash of cold light in his eyes revealed the fierce anger in his heart.

  *******

  Thousands of warriors, many of whom were shouting loudly.

  "Teng Qing Shan is indeed formidable! He defeated Sima Feng so easily!"

  "Teng Qing Shan, you're indeed a master of 'The Land of Divine Cultivation'."

  ……

  Many mediocre warriors, who were the most arrogant before, are now desperately praising Teng Qing Shan. In fact, the new issue of "The Earth Ranking" has not been released yet, and it is impossible to determine whether Wanhua Gate will really include Teng Qing Shan in the new issue of "The Earth Ranking".

  Many warriors are like this, they see wind as rain, and are afraid that the world is not in chaos.

  "Master of the Gate!" "Master of the Gate!"

  Many people surrounded Sima Feng, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, controlling his injuries with internal energy. After a while, he opened his eyes again and, with the help of the gatekeeper, stood up with difficulty. He looked at Teng Qing Mountain from afar, although he felt unwilling to admit defeat, but still said loudly: "Teng Dou Tong, you are indeed worthy of being able to defeat Meng Tian's 'Earth List' master! This spear technique has reached the level of transforming energy, I Sima Feng am ashamed to be inferior!"

  Loud speech also caused internal injuries, Sima Feng couldn't help but cough, and coughed up blood.

  This scene shocked many warriors secretly.

  The previous shot by Hong Qing Shan actually injured Sima Feng to this extent.

  "Thank you, General, spare your subordinates." Sima Feng bowed his hand and left with the support of the doorman.

  Spare your subordinate?

  Indeed, Teng Qing Shan showed mercy. Sima Feng's heavy sword was shaken off his hand and in an unstoppable situation, he used the move "adding fuel to the fire" to slam into someone, even with a force of tens of thousands of kilograms, it could have crushed Sima Feng to death. In the end, Teng Qing Shan withdrew his spear style.

  Just fractured one or two of his ribs and injured his internal organs.

  Although it took a year and a half of recuperation, at least his life was saved.

  "Defeat Qing Shan and you might just make it onto the Earth Ranking!"

  "Yan Tie, you can defeat Feng Wu Xue, maybe you can also defeat Tong Qing Shan!" Someone shouted loudly. Yan Tie's eyebrows furrowed as he scanned the crowd with his eyes. But there were too many people around. Especially some tall ones, completely blocking his line of sight. He couldn't find out who was shouting.

  "Hmph." Yan Tie coldly snorted, but didn't go up.

  Yan Tie stared at Teng Qing Shan in the distance: "What a formidable shooting technique. Although these two moves, I can barely block them with all my might. But what Teng Qing Shan said before the fight, it's clear that he was demonstrating his skills for his brother. This guy... could he really be hiding his true strength?" Yan Tie didn't dare to make a move.

  Just seeing the true strength of Shan Qingyuan made Yan Tie feel a headache.

  "It seems I underestimated the masters of the world! Hmm, there are many masters here, and let's wait and see... After settling things on this side, I'll return to Youzhou and find my master! After eight years of roaming, it's time to go back!" Yan Tie thought to himself.

  ……

  Hong Qing Shan stood in the empty arena for a while, seeing no one come to challenge him, before walking back into the crowd.

  The thousands of martial artists who had been watching from the sidelines, seeing that no one else was going to challenge him, dispersed one by one. 'Lei Shen Dao' Wu Yue watched as Teng Qing Shan walked away, a glint of cold light flashing in his eyes: "What an incredibly powerful gun technique! Judging from this small sample, I can tell that Teng Qing Shan hasn't even used his strongest technique yet... He really does have the ability to kill Meng Tian! This time, in the battle for the 'Hei Huo Ling Guo', he's a formidable opponent. However... my knife techniques, honed over so many years, I don't believe that a seventeen-year-old kid like him can withstand it!" Wu Yue was very confident.

  The crowd dispersed, each returning to their own place.

  But everyone was still discussing the previous two matches in twos and threes, marveling at them one by one.

  ******

  The place where the Yuanguan Sect is stationed.

  "Brother Qinghu, the two moves that Teng Youting just used are the same ones you used in the Hundred Men's Long Challenge!" Some of the Black Armor Army soldiers gathered around.

  "Hmm." Teng Qinghu's eyes lit up, "These two moves, 'Plucking Chestnuts from the Fire' and 'Pouring Oil on the Fire', are two relatively simple techniques that Qing Shan taught me. I didn't expect... these two moves to be so powerful in Qing Shan's hands. If I can master even half of what Qing Shan has achieved with these two moves, I'll be able to take first place in the Hundred Warriors Competition!"

  "Go ahead and brag."

  The people around burst into laughter.

  "But with the same move, why is my power so much weaker?" Teng Qinghu muttered to himself. This night, Teng Qinghu practiced his spear technique for half the night. Teng Qingshan's previous demonstration of his spear technique had a great impact on him.

  ……

  Night, a piece of silence.

  Hong Qingshan sat on the weeds, leaning against a big tree behind him. This was at the edge of Dayan Mountain, and looking down, you could see the camp of the Guiyuan Sect.

  "Adding fuel to the fire, and taking chestnuts from the flames... these two moves are completely opposite in meaning, yet can be combined. This 'Five Styles of Fierce Fire'..." Teng Qing Shan closed his eyes, trying to simulate the combination in his mind. As he thought about it, Teng Qing Shan stood up and began to practice, constantly changing.

  Teng Qing Shan wants to combine "Lihuo Wushi" with the essence of Cannon Fist, merging them into one move.

  This move will also be the fourth move of the Five Elements Gun Method.

  Cannon Fist, transformed into Gun Technique, Teng Qing Shan had been pondering for several years, but still couldn't succeed.

  "Raging Fire Five Styles" is an opportunity.

  In "Liu Huo Wu Shi", the most difficult to merge are the two moves with completely opposite intentions, "Fire on Oil" and "Fire in the Chestnut". These two moves can be merged, and Teng Qing Shan's progress suddenly accelerated. On this night, Teng Qing Shan was fully immersed in his gun techniques, not feeling the passage of time at all.

  Until the next morning.

  Teng Qing Shan didn't feel any fatigue, but he had some doubts in his mind: "For the fourth move of my Five Elements Gun Technique, which direction should I choose?" In the process of merging gun techniques, he would definitely have to abandon some useless parts, merge the essence, and fully express the spirit of the Fire Element Gun Technique.

  But ——

  What are the highlights?

  "If we combine the main body of 'Fenghuo Liuyuan, Huoshu Yinhua' with cannon fist, it should be a group attack move. But if we take 'Huojin Xintian' as the main body, then we can combine it with the idea of 'Tiger Cannon Fist', and create a single strongest gun technique!" Teng Qing Shan was very clear.

  There are two roads, one is group attack and the other is single target attack.

  Hu Pao Quan is the strongest fist technique of his past life, and it has the possibility of merging with the realm of 'Fire Transmission'.

  Teng Qing Shan had a premonition ——

  Once the single-unit attack is chosen, creating this move will be ten or a hundred times more difficult than creating a group attack. However... This move, in conception, will surpass 'Poison Dragon Drill' and become the most powerful of the four gun techniques!

  "Mass attack? My 'Shadow Follows Shape' move can be both a single target and mass attack, the power of Poisonous Dragon Drill is enough! Now there's no need for some powerful mass attack move, forget it, just be patient, waste more mental energy, anyway I've been thinking about this for so many years, no rush to wait a few more years!"

  Hong Qingshan decided, with all his heart and soul, to meticulously research and create the fourth move of the Five Elements Gun Technique, which belongs to the Fire Attribute!

  This will be the most frightening move among the four moves and also the one that takes up the most time.

  Teng Qing descended from the mountain and returned to the campsite.

  "Qingshan, you're going into the mountains for morning exercise so early?" Ji Hong had just come out of his tent.

  Hong Qingshan smiled and nodded.

  At this time, the leader of 'Guan Lu' also walked out of the big account, took a look at Teng Qing Shan, and his eyes changed slightly, but quickly recovered coldly. He walked past Teng Qing Shan's side, and a voice rang out: "Teng Du Tong, don't forget our agreement. Once things are settled here, you won't be afraid of getting hurt, and we'll have a good match."

  After finishing speaking, Guan Lu walked away.

  Teng Qing Shan was taken aback.

  ……

  Later on, the day of the gathering arrived, and Yuan Zong's group split into three teams again. They searched all over Huoyan Mountain, but the mountain range was too vast. Even as more warriors arrived with the passage of time, they were like a drop in the ocean.

  Soon, people from Yangzhou's first faction 'Qinghu Island' arrived.

  Qingzhou's first sect, 'Xiaoyao Palace', also had a team of over 100 people rushing to the scene. A large number of famous and unknown warriors arrived one after another. Within a month, the number of warriors gathered around Huoyan Mountain exceeded 10,000. Every night, the warriors returned to the foot of the mountain.

  Tens of thousands of warriors, with so many people there are naturally many contradictions.

  Duels and vendettas are a common occurrence.
