195: Chapter 195 Three-Foot Fist Power!

January 21st, early morning.

The rare, bright winter sunlight bathed the campus of Modu University of Martial Arts, draping the magnificent buildings in a veil of pale gold.

The Secret Realm Tower stood tall and ancient, its imposing form exuding an aura of mystery and the vicissitudes of time.

Qin Yan walked alone, his steps steady, arriving before the entrance of the Secret Realm Tower.

Hmm—

A gentle wave of energy instantly swept over his body.

In the next moment, the light and shadows before Qin Yan's eyes shifted.

Space twisted slightly, and his figure vanished from the spot.

Inside the Secret Realm Tower, the 11th floor.

A familiar space, a familiar layout, and the same expressionless white energy puppet standing silently opposite him.

It was completely different from the solemn caution and probing of his last visit here.

At this moment, Qin Yan's gaze was as calm as still water, the aura within him settled and solid as a mountain.

An aura of flawless Perfection faintly emanated from his entire being.

Sensing the challenger's presence, the white puppet's empty eye sockets 'looked' toward Qin Yan.

Immediately, its figure blurred, launching a punch with the standard power and speed of the early Second Rank!

The fist wind was sharp and biting.

Qin Yan didn't even move his feet. With a flick of his wrist, the Ink-Marked Spear in his hand shot out straight!

Pale golden light flowed along the spear shaft, a point of cold radiance gathering at its tip.

There was no fancy technique, only pure speed and power!

'Break!'

With a low shout, the spear tip struck the very center of the puppet's fist with impeccable precision.

'Boom!'

After a single explosive sound!

The white puppet's entire arm, and even most of its torso, instantly became covered in cracks.

Then it exploded with a roar, scattering into countless points of light!

Instant kill!

Before the absolute power of the Second Rank limit 'jade bone' realm, the Secret Realm Tower puppet of merely early Second Rank was as fragile as a twig.

In a flash of light, Qin Yan's figure was already teleported to the 12th floor.

It was still a white puppet, its strength slightly improved, reaching the level of a top contender among early Second Rank practitioners.

But in Qin Yan's eyes, there was no fundamental difference.

The spear shot forth like a dragon, a flash of golden light coming and going.

The puppet shattered, level cleared.

The 13th floor, the 14th floor, the 15th floor...

Qin Yan advanced with unstoppable force, his steps not pausing for even a moment.

The white puppets on each floor, whether in terms of strength, speed, or combat skill,

seemed utterly powerless in the face of the absolute disparity in power.

The long spear in his hand transformed into a spear of judgment.

Each thrust, sweep, or upward flick,

was concise, efficient, striking at the core, instantly obliterating the opponent with unrivaled force.

There was no protracted struggle, no probing, only the most direct, most violent crushing!

Golden light flashed, the spear shot out, the enemy perished.

It wasn't until the 19th floor that this rhythm of 'one-hit kills' was finally broken.

The white puppet on the 19th floor had an aura significantly stronger by several levels!

It stood there quietly, emanating the solid, perfected feeling unique to the Second Rank limit 'jade bone' realm.

Its blood and qi fluctuations were vigorous and stable.

Even more eye-catching were the white fist radiances, condensed to a full foot in length and as solid as substance, gathered on its fists!

The sharp radiance flickered, cutting the surrounding air and causing faint, sharp hisses.

Four-stage, initial-tier Martial Arts Skill! Fist Radiance enhancement!

This was a true opponent worthy of Qin Yan's current realm.

The higher-floor puppets of the Secret Realm Tower might lack the explosive killing moves brought by high-grade Body Tempering Martial Arts.

But in the honing of their foundational realm and Martial Arts Skill, they were near-perfect templates.

Moreover, they feared no death and possessed powerful combat instincts.

The white puppet moved!

Its speed was a huge leap beyond all the puppets from the previous floors, crossing over a dozen meters in an instant.

Its right fist, wrapped in a foot of fist radiance, shot out like a cannonball, howling as it tore through the air, aiming straight for Qin Yan's face!

Before the fist arrived, the fierce and forceful pressure from the punch was already pressing against him, making breathing slightly difficult.

Facing this strike powerful enough to threaten an ordinary Second Rank limit martial artist, Qin Yan's eyes showed not a trace of fear, but instead ignited with a flicker of burning battle intent.

'Well met!'

With a low shout, he didn't retreat, but instead stepped forward half a pace.

Power generated from his waist and hips, his torso twisted as he thrust his arm forward, the long spear in his hand suddenly stabbing out!

At the spear tip, a foot of golden Spear Light was similarly condensed!

However, at the very moment the Spear Light and fist radiance were about to collide...

'Layered Aura, first layer, expand!'

Hmm!

Twelve condensed, pale golden Spear Auras instantly materialized around him, swirling and encircling his body.

Then, layer upon layer, they attached themselves to that foot-long golden Spear Light!

The power of the Spear Light instantly surged, its sharpness multiplying!

Facing the White Figure's heavy, powerful punch, Qin Yan responded with a straightforward spear thrust!

Attack against attack! Strength against strength!

'Boom—!'

Golden light and white light violently collided and annihilated each other, erupting in a deafening roar!

A violent shockwave of air swept outwards from the point of impact!

The white puppet's powerful one-foot fist radiance, upon contacting the Layered Aura-enhanced Spear Light, dimmed and shattered rapidly as if meeting its nemesis.

Immediately after, the long spear drove forward irresistibly!

'Thud!'

The Spear Light pierced through the chest core of the white puppet without any hindrance.

The puppet's movements froze abruptly, the white light in its eyes quickly extinguishing.

The energy constituting its body fluctuated violently, then exploded with a 'bang'.

Transforming into pure points of light, it dissipated into the air.

The instant explosive force of the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear, with one layer of Layered Aura activated, had already far surpassed that of the White Figure.

The Secret Realm Tower puppets possessed only the realm and skill, lacking the corresponding level of explosive techniques.

Before Qin Yan, their fate was only to be instantly killed.

Light flashed once more.

Qin Yan had already stepped into the 20th floor of the Secret Realm Tower!

This was his ultimate goal for today's challenge.

It was also the crucial floor for obtaining the 'five elements imprint' and, in the future, the qualification to choose a Five Elements Sect cultivation method!

The space of the 20th floor seemed more solid and vast than those below.

The white puppet opposite him had an aura that was terrifyingly serene.

It appeared identical to the puppet on the 19th floor, but Qin Yan keenly sensed it was more restrained and more dangerous.

The white puppet 'looked' at Qin Yan, not attacking immediately.

It slowly raised its arms, its fists held loosely.

In the next moment, a heart-palpitating wave of aura erupted from its fists!

Hiss, hiss, hiss—

White fist radiance surged forth as if solid substance, not stopping at the previous one foot, but slowly and steadily extending, growing!

One foot, two feet... finally, it astonishingly settled at a length of three feet!

Three-foot fist radiance!

Condensed like a white jade pillar, the air was cut, emitting sharp, piercing hisses.

Just by existing, it radiated a sharpness and oppressive force that made one's scalp tingle!

Each additional foot of fist radiance represented a leap in the enhancement effect on blood and qi.

Three-foot fist radiance meant it granted the puppet a terrifying additional boost of 30 Ka of blood and qi!

This was already a sign of a Four-stage Martial Arts Skill approaching the mid-tier!

However, when Qin Yan saw that finally settled three-foot fist radiance, his tense mind suddenly relaxed.

Even the corner of his mouth lifted into a subtle, supremely confident curve.

The advantage was his!
