Chapter 96: Just a few words will do, yet you actually thought you were capable

Chen Gong Dong indeed possesses a dual fire-wood spiritual root, and he chiefly cultivates using the fire spiritual root.

Such outstanding talent, even if one looks across the entire cultivation sect,

that is enough to be ranked among the top disciples.

If one were to be placed within a low-rank or even supreme-rank sect,

moreover, one could become a core disciple who attracts much attention.

Immediately, Chen Gong Dong shouted loudly: "Watch my Blazing Fire Fist!"

After saying that, his right arm muscles tensed, veins bulging,

like a fierce leopard, he violently threw a punch.

This punch was wrapped in raging flames, carrying the force of thunder, and he fiercely smashed it toward the hall master.

However, that hall master was certainly no ordinary person.

Seeing Chen Gong Dong's fist coming with a howl, he nimbly moved his footwork,

quickly retreating two steps, then forcefully pushing off the ground with both feet,

His whole body, like an arrow released from a bow, rushed straight toward the raging flames on Chen Gong Dong's fist.

As it turned out, this hall master possessed a triple soil-metal-water spiritual root, but his main cultivation was the water spiritual root.

As everyone knows, the five elements mutually restrain, and water just happens to restrain fire,

thus the hall master, relying on his own advantage,

actually showed not the slightest fear of Chen Gong Dong's astonishingly powerful Blazing Fire Fist.

Only a loud 'bang' was heard,

Chen Gong Dong and that hall master were like two meteors,

violently colliding with each other.

In an instant, the surrounding air seemed to tremble from the shock.

This hall master is certainly no ordinary person,

his strength has already reached the seventh layer of the Qi Refining Stage.

If it were someone else exchanging blows with him head-on, they would likely be blown away like a kite with its string cut by this impact.

However, the person standing before him now is Chen Gong Dong!

Only see Chen Gong Dong's stance as stable as Mount Tai,

his feet firmly rooted to the ground, not moving an inch.

Immediately, he unhesitatingly raised his fist,

executing the first form of the Military Body Fist Qi Refining Stage chapter.

This punch was like the force of thunder,

and fiercely smashed toward the hall master.

Another muffled 'bang' sounded,

that hall master basically had no time to react,

but felt a tremendous force surge upon him like a mountain collapsing and sea overturning.

His body involuntarily staggered backward two steps,

before barely managing to steady his stance.

At this moment, his face was full of disbelief and shock,

his mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg:

"How... how is this possible!"

"Hmph!"

Chen Gong Dong gave a cold snort, a flicker of contempt flashing in his eyes,

"With just this little ability, you still want to fight me?"

"Let me tell you, although I am only at the fifth layer of the Qi Refining Stage, I have diligently practiced according to the cultivation principles transmitted by the President,"

"And you, though you have the cultivation of the seventh layer of the Qi Refining Stage, you have not practiced according to the President's cultivation principles, so naturally you cannot be my opponent!"

Having said this, Chen Gong Dong straightened his chest, lifted his head, and exuded an unparalleled confidence.

He continued: "Now within the Qi Refining Stage, I can already be called invincible! Even if I encounter a Foundation Establishment expert, I might still have a fighting chance!"

Chen Gong Dong's bold words immediately were like dropping a heavy bomb onto a calm lake.

On the surface Chen Gong Dong appeared mighty and awe-inspiring, but in his heart he was quite another picture,

"The cultivation principles I discarded, taught to me by my younger sister Xiuxiu, are this powerful!"

Everyone present was utterly shocked by his words,

each staring agape at him, faces full of astonishment. Afterwards,

they all unconsciously turned their heads to look at Ye Xiuxiu standing aside,

seemingly wanting to get some explanation or confirmation from her.

The power displayed by the correct version of the sage's words,

these hall masters are well aware of.

However, at this moment they only just realized,

the Confucian Sage actually still possesses an even more powerful cultivation principle!

Just then, another person stepped forward from the crowd.

This person, among the many hall members, is the oldest in age,

already approaching nine years of age.

Furthermore, he was the one with the deepest cultivation among everyone.

All that could be seen was him releasing his aura all around without reservation.

His bright and clear early Foundation Establishment cultivation was fully revealed.

Faced with this scene, Chen Gong Dong couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

He then prepared to charge forward again like a fierce tiger descending the mountain.

He also shouted loudly: "I want to see just how formidable this so-called cultivation principle really is!"

Before the words could finish, Ye Xiuxiu at his side was quick-eyed and quick-handed.

She reached out and firmly grabbed Chen Gong Dong, then coquettishly said:

"Left Protector, you've already made your move just now; from now on, it's up to me, the president, to personally step forward."

Upon hearing this, Chen Gong Dong first blinked in surprise, then gradually stepped back, muttering:

"If that's the case, then please have the president personally go and give that guy a good lesson!"

Meanwhile, Ye Xiuxiu's mind kept complaining about Chen Gong Dong:

"My elder brother Chen Dong, you were just able to defeat a Seventh Layer Qi Refining opponent,

Do you really think you have the strength to match a Foundation Establishment expert?"

"If I don't slap you twice until you spin like a top,

I'll take my second sister Ye Ruyan's surname from now on!"

Ye Xiuxiu couldn't help but let out a sigh deep in her heart:

Practicing Military Body Fist certainly can strengthen one's physique,

but it hardly improves one's intellect at all!

However, faced with the current situation,

Ye Xiuxiu unhesitatingly displayed her own cultivation.

To everyone's astonishment,

what she displayed was actually the early Foundation Establishment realm.

Although they are both at the early Foundation Establishment level,

the difference in their strength is still obvious at a glance.

The people on the scene have keen eyes,

they can immediately see that Ye Xiuxiu's cultivation far surpasses others'.

"What... what!" exclamations came from the crowd.

"The president actually has Foundation Establishment cultivation!"

At this moment, everyone was stunned, their faces full of disbelief.

Especially Chen Gong Dong, who originally thought confidently that Ye Xiuxiu was at most slightly better than him,

perhaps only reaching the sixth layer of Qi Refining.

Who would have thought that the opponent would be at the Foundation Establishment realm as soon as they made a move,

such a huge contrast is truly unexpected.

Looking back half a year ago,

Ye Xiuxiu once made bold statements that shocked everyone,

now it seems those words were no empty boast.

A child who started the cultivation path at only six years old,

has already successfully achieved Foundation Establishment in a short time,

such a heaven-defying talent is simply beyond imagination!

If one had to describe it in words,

only the four words "terrifying beyond description" could aptly express its astonishing nature.

Ye Xiuxiu's mouth corner slowly rose,

Fortunately, sixty years ago I had overwhelming power to suppress them,

but if it were sixty years later,

then I would face about seventy-two people stronger than me,

defeating the stronger seventy-two times with weakness,

Do you think I'm Sun Wukong with the seventy-two transformations?
