895 Astonishing Fire Phoenix (1/2)

The mysterious man could sense that this woman was peculiar. Despite his ability, he was unable to tell just how strong she was. Who exactly was she?

”Which martial arts realm are you at?” The mysterious man could not help but be curious as he communicated with her through sound transmission. Even if this woman practiced a profound path and even if she was at the embryonic stages of a profound realm, he did not feel that it was strange at all. He felt that this woman was a threat to him. Such a heaven-defying genius had actually appeared in the Heaven List Tournament.

”Martial arts realm?”

Gu Jingman smiled but said nothing. She didn't answer because the path that she was on was not the ordinary Way of Martial Arts at all. Hence, the martial arts realm was not important for her. With the Blood God's heritage, she was on the Way of Gods and Demons.

Through her understanding of the Blood God's heritage, she also had a clearer vision of her future path. Not only did the Blood God's heritage improve her power directly, but it was also slowly guiding her to the path that she needed to take. Acquiring the Blood God's heritage did not mean that one would automatically reach the height of power of the Blood God. The successor's achievements depended on their own effort.

However, it was obvious that with the guidance of the Blood God's heritage, the path that Gu Jingman was on was out of the ordinary. The ordinary martial arts realm could not measure her achievements.

Gu Jingman was slightly curious about the mysterious man who had popped up out of nowhere and was unnoticed by others. So, she took a glance at him. Then, she quickly shifted her attention back to challenge ring 49, ignoring him.

A glint of cold light flickered in the mysterious man's eyes when he saw that the woman had no intention of answering his question. However, he said nothing more and turned his gaze to challenge ring 49 as well. He was curious to find out exactly how powerful the youth, who had inherited the inheritance of the immortalized martial art practitioner, would be.

The battle was still going on. From the very beginning, when Mo Wen was at a disadvantage and was being suppressed, up until he gradually began to match his opponent and evened the odds, only fifteen minutes had passed. He had improved so much. Digesting the inheritance of an ancient martial art practitioner who had become immortal had truly allowed him to develop very quickly.

”How is it possible?”

The more Heng Xiangguang battled, the more panicked he felt. He felt that he was now being suppressed by Mo Wen instead of it being the other way round. He knew that he could not drag this on any longer. Otherwise, he would certainly lose in this challenge ring.

Roar!

Heng Xiangguang let out an astonishing roar. After unleashing the Decaying Technique's corpse manipulation technique, his three-meter tall figure grew once again, becoming more than five meters in an instant. He was not concerned about harming himself as he unleashed his secret technique. He forcefully activated the Decaying Technique to its utmost limit. An astonishing power exploded from his body.

”So powerful!”

Sword Addict White Dust's expression changed slightly. Heng Xiangguang was a very old third realm Martial Arts Grandmaster strong practitioner who had also practiced the Rot Valley's Decaying Technique. Even though there was still a rather large difference when compared to the ultimate warriors, Heng Xiangguang was a very frightening opponent. If Sword Addict White Dust was in the challenge ring now, even he would most likely find it very difficult to win this battle.

Could Mo Wen win?

This youth had been very high profile ever since he appeared. Originally, Sword Addict White Dust did not look kindly on him, but right now, he did not dare to speculate about his abilities without any evidence. Mo Wen's potential far surpassed his what he had imagined.

”I hope you can win. That way, I will have one more interesting opponent.” In the shadows, a sharp look flashed in the eyes of Dark Hand. The battles in the death corner fighting rings would only determine who ranked in the top ten. After that, there would be ranking battles. They would consist of battles between those ranked in the top ten.

”This Heaven List Tournament is truly getting more and more difficult.” Wine and Meat Monk shook his head and sighed. Mo Wen had such ability. Even if he lost this battle, he would most likely still rise rapidly over the next two days. It should not be hard for him to rank among the top ten. Even Wine and Meat Monk was not confident that he would definitely defeat such an opponent.

…

”Suffering Ending Fist!”

Heng Xiangguang's expression was chilly. At five meters tall, his aura was unprecedentedly powerful. He took a step forward and sent a punch crashing forwards. A frightening power surged out.

In an instant, the entire challenge ring was enveloped in a ring of green light.

Beams of destructive and withering power locked onto Mo Wen. They seemed to be able to instantly suck his life force dry.

”Rite of passage martial arts!”

Mo Wen was shocked. This Suffering Ending Fist was actually a rite of passage martial arts! The criminals in the Red Stone Forest had actually mastered rite of passage martial arts. As expected, they could not be underestimated.

However, Heng Xiangguang's rite of passage martial arts clearly had not been practiced to the level of profound aura. Without the power of profundity, the might of the rite of passage martial arts was largely weakened. After all, rite of passage martial arts depended mostly on their profundity. The power of profundity was the root of rite of passage martial arts. If the power of profundity was not merged into it, the rite of passage martial arts were actually no different from ordinary martial arts teachings. At most, they would only be more powerful than Absolute Rank martial arts teachings.

Mist began to form on Mo Wen's body, and his silhouette instantly became elusive. He unleashed the Glory of Wind and the Glory of Cloud to their utmost limit. Although he had not comprehended the profound aura for the Glory of Wind and the Glory of Cloud, after his epiphany just now, the two rite of passage martial art secret techniques had also seen some substantial improvements. As skill-based magnum opuses, the difficulty in practicing them was far greater than that of ordinary rite of passage martial arts.

In an instant, the entire challenge ring was covered with Mo Wen's silhouette. A nebula flickered. Once the frantic power of the Suffering Ending Fist encountered the nebula, they were like punches that landed on cotton. A large portion of their power was canceled out.

The power of the Suffering Ending Fist was rather frightening. Waves of destructive and withering power swept out in all directions. If an ordinary third realm Martial Arts Grandmaster was in such an environment, they would most likely be wiped out instantly.

”Such power Little brother...”

Gu Jingman had been calm up until now, but her expression now became serious. Mo Wen seemed to be unable to withstand the destructive and withering power. Otherwise, he would not have gone all out in defending himself and unleashing two rite of passage secret techniques to try his best to reduce the threat against him.

”That damned old thing. If you dare harm Mo Wen, I will make sure that you die in this fighting ring.” A look of killing intent flashed past Gu Jingman's eyes. Although she had arrived at the Mechanized Maze City on the first day, she had yet to make a move. It was because her current points were more than sufficient for her to claim the top spot even if she did not do anything anymore.
