The young man in purple was quietly stunned. He had never seen anyone who had such a high level of control of power. It was not something learned through repetitive practice, but a talent.

The palm move seemed to be basic and ordinary. Yet it could summon the forces of nature. The Essence Qi in the area raged with rolling waves. It was a horrifying scene.

The young man’s eyes lit up. This was the battle he had been looking for. He was on fire.

He bent down, his arms dangling listlessly like a bull ready to charge. Energy rose in him. Unlike earlier, he had not changed into an unruly, vicious beast.

As he extended his dangling hands and clapped them together, the power of Metal rushed out of his hands. An intense light burst out instantly. At the same time, the power of Wind formed around his legs, howling loudly, as if blades were flying about. His pants were shredded into pieces.

“Golden Bull Heaven Strike!”

The young man in purple shouted. With the power of Wind still swirling around his legs, he lashed out with the kick of his leg. The body of water below him exploded, sending water splashing a few hundred feet high. He then launched himself out, charging ferociously like a bull towards his enemy.

“He has studied the secret manual. Unbelievable! Not any manual, but the Metal Being’s secret manual,” said a spectator.

“He has not only used the secret manual but also the power of Wind on his legs. The sudden burst of speed makes Golden Bill Heaven Strike a lot more powerful. This man is a double being. He is talented and has infinite potential.”

People were shocked and also a little envious. That young man in purple was only around their ages, and even a few years younger than some of them. Yet his strength was in a different league. There was an uncrossable gap between them.

“It’s coming!”

Boom!

It was as if a comet had collided with a golden sun. The loud sound ripped through heaven and earth, and the ground shook violently. The shock wave pushed the lake water into the air, forming a curtain of water that blocked off the sky.

“Let’s do it together!”

Everyone’s expression changed as they performed their moves, working together to stop the incoming wave.

The wave rose like a tsunami, fast and furious. Even with the aggregated effort of everyone, they nearly could not stop it. They all spat mouthfuls of blood in fear as their vision faded.

“I am impressed with your power.” The young man in purple’s face looked pale. He was forced back by the wave, his hands mutilated and bleeding so badly that bones could be seen underneath.

Wutian’s body was glowing in red. As he stood in midair, the wave surging under his feet, prodding him up like a god. He exuded a fatuous air of finality as he looked down from above.

He did not know why he was like this. He just remembered earlier that there was a mysterious power that suddenly entered his heart, taking control of his body and drove his consciousness out. Since then, he saw his body doing as it pleased from a third-party perspective.

He was shocked by what had happened. This body of his, the moves that seemed ordinary and simple, were unimaginably powerful. Not only that, he also felt the Essence elixir in his Sea of Qi did not decline. That meant he had only used his physical strength all this while.

It was incredible that his physical strength could unleash such a level of power without using the vital energy of the Essence.

“I retract what I said earlier. You are so badass!”

The young man in purple smiled, genuinely happy. He had never met someone of his age having such a level of strength. This was the first time.

He struck down with his hand from the air, and the lake water flooded the area. As he then extended his hands and a greenish glow rushed out of his hands, his wounded hands healed rapidly.

The wave receded as quickly as it came. When the wave finally went away and his body was revealed, his wound had healed, not leaving any signs of injury behind.

Wutian moved again. As he took a step out, the lake water followed him as if it had been summoned. While he stood in the air, the waves billowed beneath him. He looked like a peerless lord overlooking the earth.

“Stop! That’s all for today,” said the young man in purple. He could not keep fighting for some reason. But Wutian ignored him and performed a sidekick. The blast from his leg was tingling to the skin.

“Stop it, mate! Let us square it off somewhere else another day,” said the young man aloud as he barely dodged the kick.

Bang!

But he was getting a reply in the form of a punch. The blow that felt as hard as iron hit him on his chest, forcing him to stumble backward for a thousand feet before he could halt his momentum and steady himself. Blood spurted out of his mouth. His face was as pale as snow.

“Stop—”

As if Wutian was demon-possessed, he lunged forward and struck with his palms. The blast from his palm stirred the lake under him. He followed by pointing his finger forward, which seemed nothing extraordinary with no bells and whistle. But the young man felt as if a thousand-pound rock had hit him. He was forced to retreat with blood spurting out of his mouth again.

“This guy is powerful. That young man in purple has a Gamma-stage cultivation base, yet he was up the wall and couldn’t fight back.”

“The other guy’s cultivation base is only in the Beta state, yet he could punch above his weight. His every punch and kick seem simple yet totally natural. His power is terrific!”
