Protagonist:

Chen Jie

"Alright! This is my first time coming to North America to fight!"

Chen Jie smiled and said:

"Being able to come to North America and fight in Las Vegas, the holy land of global gambling boxing, I believe is every boxer's goal!"

"But it seems I still underestimated my influence in the global martial arts world; I didn't expect them to think so highly of me."

"Five hundred million US dollars in stakes, even without peripheral gambling, is enough to be attractive."

"But relatively speaking, the European Gambling Boxing Alliance and several major organizations from Japan have put bounties of over one billion US dollars to have someone snipe me; compared to that, this boxing prize money seems insignificant!"

"Right now it's just the final match of the Global Underground Gambling Boxing Championship. Once I win, the next challenge against the 'King of Gambling Boxing' Kuluze might see the prize money increase by a large margin again."

"Judging by physical condition, this 'Giant Bone Demon' O'Neal Tula looks quite strong."

"But he's met me, and I'll blast him apart!"

"I have experience fighting big guys!"

"The North American Division's final battle—I won't go watch it on-site. Lately my eyelids keep twitching; I'm worried something will go wrong!"

"After all, this is North America. Try to minimize going out to avoid trouble!"

"The world's top assassins are mostly in North America, and the most famous 'Blackwater Group' is also here."

"Our peripheral gambling funds exceed ten billion US dollars. Best to be cautious—you arrange it too, tell the brothers to be careful, watch their state, and don't slack off!"

"After the North American final match introduction, just send me the boxing match videos so I can study them."

"My strength is at the most critical moment. I need to enter closed-door training for a few days to see if I can break through to the next realm and improve my combat power!"

Chen Jie gave a calm instruction.

To others, boxing prize money of over five hundred million US dollars might be quite attractive.

But Chen Jie's current net worth—he didn't put such a small amount of money in his eyes at all.

He simply wasn't short of money now.

From fighting in the Southeast Asian underground gambling boxing scene up to now, his gambling boxing earnings from every match were quite considerable.

Especially after fighting in the Global Underground Gambling Boxing Championship.

Peripheral gambling funds started at one billion US dollars.

So money was just a number to him.

But the peripheral counter-bet funds for this match exceeded ten billion US dollars, so Chen Jie naturally wouldn't give it up.

Of course,

He wouldn't underestimate any opponent in any match.

No matter how low the opponent's fame or how strong their combat power, he wouldn't underestimate the other side.

With his current fame and combat power, if the opponent wasn't strong enough, they absolutely had no qualification to fight him.

So anyone who could fight him couldn't possibly be weak in comprehensive strength.

Although Chen Jie was full of confidence in the final match of the Global Underground Gambling Boxing Championship,

but,

for some reason, he still felt a thread of pressure.

This feeling was hard to describe.

This was his first fierce battle with the 'Invincible King,' the top expert of the North American martial arts world.

This giant weighing 150kg definitely didn't have such simple peak combat power.

This 'Giant Bone Demon' of the North American martial arts world should count as one of the most terrifying strongmen in the global martial arts world.

From another aspect, he should count as a ceiling-level expert of the North American martial arts world.

His peak combat power was stronger than 'Knox-Lucifer,' 'Harry-Panama,' Nosenna, and others whom Chen Jie had slain in the European martial arts world.

Because,

The North American Division's comprehensive strength was originally stronger than the European Division's.

As long as the 'Giant Bone Demon' O'Neal Tula could sweep his opponents and become first in the North American Division,

then,

he would be enough to pose a threat to Chen Jie.

Although O'Neal Tula didn't dare call himself the first expert of the North American martial arts world, he definitely counted as a super expert in the first echelon.

Of course,

If comparing peak combat power, Chen Jie was not weaker than O'Neal Tula.

In terms of fame, Chen Jie was not inferior to the other side either.

He could sweep the European martial arts world ten days in advance, and his combat power would likewise draw any opponent's attention.

Even including the previous session's 'King of Gambling Boxing' Kuluze, who was surely constantly studying Chen Jie's fighting style and offensive-defensive characteristics.

Chen Jie's 'Super Villain' of the European martial arts world had already begun radiating to North America.

Unknowingly, many strongmen of the North American martial arts world began to regard Chen Jie as the most terrifying opponent.

Because Chen Jie had swept all the way from the European martial arts world, powerfully fighting into North America.

For a time, the North American martial arts world was gripped by rumors of danger, and many top experts felt pressure.

After stepping onto the Octagonal Cage Boxing Ring, anything could happen.

So, although Chen Jie was full of confidence in himself, he dared not guarantee whether an accident would occur.

He wanted to perfectly erupt with the combat power of his seventh Power Surge Period, so he had to break through to the 【Grandmaster Mid-stage】 realm! Fat man Wang Hou had no other thoughts regarding Chen Jie's upcoming arrangements.

He knew very clearly in his heart that after arriving in North America, he had to be careful and cautious.

Additionally,

he could also feel Chen Jie's pressure.

To sweep any opponent, one must possess overwhelming dominance.

For an expert as powerful as O'Neal Tula, anyone wanting to defeat him would not be such an easy matter.

So.

Chen Jie had no intention of going to the scene to watch the match, and Fat Man could understand.

Going to the scene to watch the match at this time would instead easily affect his own judgment and confidence.

According to the arrangements of the Global Underground Boxing Championship, the final grand finals were arranged in the Underground Boxing Hall of Caesars Palace Casino Hotel in Las Vegas.

Of course,

now the time is still early, and there are still twelve days until the time of the final grand finals.

—

At night, Chen Jie entered the Dream Space.

To sweep all opponents, he had to break through to the 【Grandmaster Mid-stage】 realm as soon as possible, and raise his combat power to the peak.

Boom, boom, boom—! After fighting fiercely for three minutes with 'Fourth Uncle Fang Yan', Chen Jie was repelled by the other side with one move.

Fortunately, he had prepared early and was not killed by the other side, but instead pulled away the distance, outside the Alert Zone of 'Fourth Uncle Fang Yan'.

Immediately after,

Chen Jie rested for a moment, then rushed forward again.

Xingyi Twelve Forms, Dragon Form, Tiger Form, Monkey Form, Horse Form—! Combination Killing Move, one move after another, power flowing through, completed in one breath.

During this period, Chen Jie, whenever training was not finished, would enter the Dream Space at night to conduct Practical Combat Training with 'Fourth Uncle Fang Yan'.

That's right,

he now had no intention of killing 'Fourth Uncle Fang Yan', but rather thought of using the other party to temper his martial arts.

After breaking through the Grandmaster Realm, absorbing the other party's memory could only serve as a reference for his own Grandmaster Realm.

Ordinary martial artists, once they break through to the 【Grandmaster】 realm, possess their own martial way.

At this time,

anyone's martial way power could only serve as a reference, and could not be directly absorbed and made one's own.

One needed to simplify the other party's martial way, and perfect one's own Grandmaster Realm.

Of course, the Practical Combat Training in the Dream Space was mainly to temper one's Grandmaster Will and forge one's killing moves.

Besides entering the Dream Space to train bitterly, Chen Jie also sweated profusely training his power exertion in places like the rooftop terrace and training room of the MGM International Hotel.

Continuous closed-door bitter training made Chen Jie's Mindset even more steady.

Finally,

In the Dream Space, it had already become very difficult for 'Fourth Uncle Fang Yan' to kill him.

He seemed to already be able to handle 'Fourth Uncle Fang Yan's' fists with ease.

Chen Jie knew the other party's any killing move like the back of his hand, and could make judgments in time. After fighting 'Fourth Uncle Fang Yan' to a standstill, he soon began training his Tan Leg Secret Transmission, bitterly practicing the elbow strikes, knee legs, and heavy punch killing moves of Xingyi Twelve Forms.

The power of the Combo Finisher was unstoppable!

So, Chen Jie's 【Grandmaster Technique】 emphasized One Hit Kill, whether heavy punch or elbow strike, both could erupt with the most terrifying blow.

Flat elbow heavy strike, charging elbow, chopping elbow, diagonal charging upper elbow, knee top collision, Bullfighting Breaking Top, Wild Horse Turning Back—! Xingyi Footwork and Xingyi Twelve Forms merged, the erupted combination elbow strikes and knee leg killing moves became more and more terrifying.

The power of the Grandmaster Technique was also ferocious to the extreme.

Additionally,

After Chen Jie merged the Twelve Roads Tan Leg Secret Killing Move and the killing moves of Xingyi Twelve Forms together,

his Grandmaster Technique became unpredictable, moving like thunder, untraceable.

Once unleashed throughout the whole body, it made people unable to defend! In terms of the limit explosion of power, Leg Technique and Elbow Strike, as well as Knee Leg, were far more domineering than Fist Technique.

This was mainly determined by Muscle Structure.

One elbow equals three punches, one knee equals three elbows!

The explosive power of elbow strikes and knee legs was extremely ferocious, power exertion fast, explosive power fierce.

The only drawback was that the attack intention was obvious, and the opponent could easily judge it.

Of course,

When Chen Jie trained combination killing moves, he did not give up training how to deal with ground Joint Locks.

Actually,

The most efficient way to crack ground Joint Locks was 'Qin Na Art'! With Chen Jie's current Martial Arts Power Realm, practicing Qin Na Art was not difficult.

In Xingyi Fist Method, there were techniques of Qin Na hands; as long as one grasped the essence of power exertion, one could practice it.

Unknowingly, seeing that the Finals of the North American Division had ended.

In another week, it would be the last 'Grand Final Battle' of the Global Underground Boxing Championship! Huff! Chen Jie opened his eyes in the room and exhaled a long breath.

Just now in the Dream Space, he fought fiercely with 'Fourth Uncle Fang Yan' for five minutes, with no winner decided!

He felt that he now had a chance to kill 'Fourth Uncle Fang Yan'.

Just as he was about to stand up,

Hum—! In an instant, his mind hummed loudly.

At this time,

In his mind, images appeared one after another.

He could feel the power circulating through his body, feel his muscles contracting, even 'see' the flow of blood.

The shocking sight left Chen Jie completely stunned! What was going on?

At this moment, Chen Jie was shocked beyond measure, while also finding it unbelievable.

He could 'see' the power circulating within his body?

He could see his heart beating, blood twisting, muscles contracting, bones producing blood—! Hiss! Chen Jie couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He had broken through! Grandmaster Mid-stage Realm!

That's right,

What Chen Jie did not expect was that at this moment he actually suddenly broke through to the 【Grandmaster Mid-Stage】 Realm! This was the manifestation of Grandmaster Willpower, and also the 'Return to One' realm of consciousness! Close your eyes and contemplate in silence, to reach the supreme transcendence, heaven and earth return to one!

It was the state of holding onto the one after the manifestation of divine thought.

When the martial arts realm reached the 'Return to One' state, the whole person could enter 'Internal Vision'! Like suddenly opening the heavenly eye, able to stand from a third party's angle and examine the state within his own body.

Of course,

This was not true 'seeing', but a reflection of the mind!

Daoist Guard One!

"How could this be? After breaking through to the 【Grandmaster Mid-Stage】 Realm, how could such a miraculous scene suddenly appear?"

"Return to One! This is true Internal Vision, I can observe the condition within my body!"

"Hiss! Guoshu Martial Arts, profound and vast, too miraculous!"

"I didn't expect that after breaking through to Grandmaster Mid-stage Realm, I could actually reach such a level."

"Strange, how could I suddenly break through!?"

Chen Jie's heart suddenly jolted.

Originally he had been thinking that he wanted to break through to the 【Grandmaster Mid-Stage】 Realm, perhaps he would need to kill 'Fourth Uncle Fang Yan' in the Dream Space to do it.

But,

Now he had only left the Dream Space, and actually broke through! Without absorbing 'Fourth Uncle Fang Yan's' Memory Inheritance, but relying on his own willpower, he broke through to the 【Grandmaster Mid-Stage】 Realm.

Any martial artist as long as they can make their martial arts realm break through to the Internal Vision state of 'Return to One'.

Then,

His peak combat power would all reach an unfathomable level.

Return to One!

This was originally a type of consciousness in Daoist methods, an external manifestation of a martial artist's spiritual willpower.

Once breaking through to 'Return to One', one could use their spiritual power to constantly internally observe, observing the state within their body.

Under this situation, it was even more monstrous than Potential Activation.

Because under the state of Internal Vision, one could adjust their power output, making their 【Grandmaster Technique】 Killing Move more perfect, with greater power.

One could even say this, any martial artist as long as they can make their Grandmaster Will break through to the Internal Vision Realm of 'Return to One'! Then,

He would already count as a true 'First Generation Grandmaster'! That's right, this was the martial arts inheritance threshold of 'First Generation Grandmaster', the sublimation of martial arts! In other words,

After Chen Jie broke through to the 【Grandmaster Mid-Stage】 Realm, although his combat power had not yet reached the current limit.

But,

His Grandmaster Willpower could already be called a 'First Generation Guoshu Grandmaster'! In the glorious era of Guoshu, any person practicing martial arts, wanting to take this step, truly making their Grandmaster Will break through to the 'Return to One' realm, would take at least over thirty years!

Chen Jie's true time cultivating Guoshu was less than two years.

He had already broken through the martial arts shackles, stepping into the realm of 'Return to One'.

If according to the Buddhist school's saying.

The realm of 'Return to One' was equivalent to the Buddhist Esoteric School's Heavenly Eye Divine Ability! That's right, martial arts' 'Return to One' was not a power output realm, but the manifestation of Grandmaster Will, the tempering of spiritual power! To the Buddhist school, this was not martial arts, but divine ability! Of course,

Saying 'divine ability' seemed very mysterious, leaving people in a fog, not knowing what was going on.

But the Buddhist school's profound truth was indeed explained this way.

Once the martial arts realm stepped into 'Return to One', it was equivalent to possessing the Buddhist divine ability realm!

From the perspective of mental consciousness state, 'Return to One' was the Daoist school's saying.

Specifically, it was possessing Internal Vision, producing Sixth Sense Manifestation! Chen Jie's original Sixth Sense was already very sensitive, not only able to sense crisis, but even able to precisely predict the opponent's attack intent.

And now, he could produce Internal Vision, his Martial Will could be said to have completely stepped into a new realm.

After condensing power throughout his body,

He could in the state of 'Return to One', constantly adjust his power output.

Most importantly, wanting to reach the 'Return to One' state, the primary prerequisite was that the mindset must be perfect.

Not subject to any external interference.

Mindset firm as a rock, indestructible! Any negative emotion could not shake his mind and spirit.

His internal consciousness form and body would achieve a kind of balance.

Fist Without Fist, Intent Without Intent, No Fist No Mind is True Intent! This was the essence of Xingyi Quan power output under the 'Return to One' state! Essence, Qi, Spirit perfectly fused with the body, reaching the step of divine thought returning to one.

Actually,

Many people regarding the power of spiritual power, always thought it very mysterious, very hard to explain with science.

Give an example, actually very easy to understand, like the world's strongest strongman, after lifting a barbell of over five hundred kilograms with both arms, would get a nosebleed, the endurance of muscles and bones would reach the limit.

But,

When a slender woman saw her child being pressed by a car, under the enhancement of spiritual power, one hand could overturn a two-ton car.

This was the power of spiritual power! Once a martial artist could apply spiritual power to martial arts power output, Limit Explosive Power and speed would both completely break through the human biological strength limit.

This was also why those world's top martial artists all paid great attention to spiritual power training.

Even including many injected potions, not only to increase muscle strength.

More is to stimulate Spiritual Power, making the Boxer become excited; Spiritual Power is the Core of erupting Combat Power that Transcends the limit.

And now, Chen Jie's Grandmaster Willpower has Broken Through To the 'Guarding One' state! His Peak Combat Power, At this time, surges violently once again! (Chapter End)
