143: Chapter 143 Wang Jinhua: Who Will Fight?

"Let's test my current actual punch force value."

Fang Zhuo only walked on the spot for a moment before he had fully adapted to his surging strength; this was the power of Body Control having entered the Heaven-Reaching level.

For a Transcendent Martial Artist at Life Level 49, the base standard punch force is 730,000 kilograms!

He punched the force meter equipped in the training room with a steady and balanced strike.

"Bang—!"

"Base punch force: 762,008 kg!"

Upon hearing the value announced by the electronic voice, Fang Zhuo smiled: "It's quite a bit higher than the standard punch force. With an explosive output from my Heaven-Reaching level Body Control and a 24-fold increase in punch force, my single punch can now exceed 18 million kilograms. When further amplified by the Thunder Fire Blade, the power of a single strike is already approaching 100 million kilograms!"

"It seems the diluted red jellyfish fluid given by Chairman Xiao is truly effective. But... even then, it used up a full 7 vials!"

"It seems that the further one goes, the harder it is to make one's Life Level leap in a very short time. It's not just about having enough civilization points or sufficient resources to suddenly jump up."

"The accumulation of time, and the tempering of the physical body by absorbing cosmic source energy day and night with the assistance of the Martial Aspect, are also extremely important!"

An epiphany arose in Fang Zhuo's heart.

"But fortunately, this leap to Level 49 was successfully completed, and at least one vial of the diluted red jellyfish fluid remains."

"I'll familiarize myself with the secret killing move 'Thunder Fire Echo' properly today. Tomorrow, it's time to fight for my life against Brother Wang in the Peak Group...!"

Fang Zhuo took the long blade down from the weapon rack.

Of course, saying "fight for my life" was just an exaggeration; Wang Jinhua was a benefactor in his life and the person who guided him into the Starry Sky Group.

I must go all out and defeat Brother Wang!

I will borrow the red jellyfish fluid from Chairman Xiao!

Fang Zhuo took a deep breath, calming his slightly excited mood. He stepped forward, settled into a lunge, and twisted his body to strike with the blade.

The blade tore through the air, and as a fiery red shadow emerged, accompanied by 'crackle' and 'rumble' sounds, an extremely sharp blade aura burst forth from the edge.

The secret killing move 'Thunder Fire Echo'!

Strike after strike.

The training room was instantly filled with fiery red blade shadows; blade auras raged, and the specially made target dummy was covered in shallow scratches.

You must know that the seller claimed these special target dummies in the Transcendent training rooms could withstand any bombardment from Transcendent Martial Artists without leaving a mark.

Time passed quietly.

Fang Zhuo was obsessed, slashing out 'Thunder Fire Echo' strike after strike, as if he possessed endless energy and stamina.

Until evening.

The door to the training room was opened by Bai Shiwei with her fingerprint.

"Hubby, you've been hiding for two nights; there's no need to hide from me during the day too, right? It's time for dinner~!!" Bai Shiwei said, pursing her lips, and couldn't help but freeze.

The sounds of thunder and flame explosions in the training room were echoing incessantly, rushing into her ears.

Bai Shiwei's beautiful eyes moved from Fang Zhuo's well-defined pectoral muscles to the special target dummy in front of him; the blade marks on it were clearly visible!

"This...!"

Her brain turned quickly; what did this mean? The Thunder Fire Blade strike her husband unleashed had an explosive power that already exceeded the Transcendent Martial Artist level!

The strength of an invincible Transcendent!

"Hubby, have you reached Life Level 49?!"

Bai Shiwei lived with Fang Zhuo day and night, and she knew that Fang Zhuo's Body Control had completely entered the Heaven-Reaching level.

She also knew that Fang Zhuo had demonstrated the killing move Thunder Fire Echo from the six layers of the Thunder Fire Blade that very day.

"That's right. Before, when I had you keep absorbing the stone milk crystal for cultivation, along with that diluted red jellyfish fluid, you dissipated quite a bit of source energy."

Fang Zhuo wiped his sweat and said with a chuckle: "I didn't waste it; my Martial Aspect absorbed and accumulated it all. After the Legendary Group Transcendent battle, I've been digesting it to temper my body!"

Bai Shiwei was stunned upon hearing this, still finding it somewhat hard to believe.

Her husband's Martial Aspect was simply too monstrous; the portion of source energy and energy that she dissipated while consuming resources was enough for him to cultivate all the way to Level 49...

"Are you really going to challenge Brother Wang tomorrow?"

Thinking of Fang Zhuo's excuse for skipping "class" at night earlier, Bai Shiwei couldn't help but ask.

Wang Jinhua was not only the number one Transcendent Martial Artist on the Starry Sky Group's Transcendent ranking, but also the well-deserved number one Transcendent Martial Artist of the Blue Moon Federation!

Among Transcendent Martial Artists, he was synonymous with invincibility.

He had achieved a glorious one-hundred-win streak in the Civilization Arena, making many martial artists from outside the territory who wanted to pick a soft persimmon howl in misery!

"Naturally... Let's go, let's eat first."

Fang Zhuo nodded and walked towards Bai Shiwei with a smile.

...

The next day.

March 29th, 569 of the New Era, 2583 of the Old Federation Calendar.

The day the Peak Group Transcendent battle of the 9th Ocean Gathering began.

This had always been the segment most watched by the audience and martial artists of Blue Star, and even throughout the Blue Moon Federation, but today, although the stands were still packed, everyone was not very interested.

There was no other reason; in this Peak Group, the gap in strength between the Transcendent Martial Artists was too large. There was a monster leading by a huge margin, so the result had lost its suspense.

"This Ocean Gathering lacks a bit of confrontation."

"A Fang Zhuo from the Xia Kingdom emerged in the Legendary Group, sweeping the Transcendent Martial Artists of other countries single-handedly. And for this Peak Group, they even use a ring match format; once Wang Jinhua steps onto the ring, who would dare to go up and challenge him?"

Martial artists from various countries were somewhat helpless.

"He has the strength; if you aren't convinced, just keep it to yourself. I see you're very anxious, aren't you?"

The audience from the Xia Kingdom was an exception; everyone's faces were beaming with smiles. As a Transcendent from the Xia Kingdom, Wang Jinhua was able to suppress martial artists from other countries in the Peak Group of the Ocean Gathering, and they shared in the honor.

"Hmph, am I wrong? Under this ring match format, the battles in the Peak Group will be very unsightly. Do you deny it?"

"If you ask me, just let the host, Archie, award the prize to Wang Jinhua directly."

There was a burst of complaints in the general audience area of the stands.

As the start time approached, the Flying Martial Artists leading the teams from various countries and the Flying Martial Artists from major groups all flew in one by one and landed in their respective seats.

Most of these Flying Martial Artists were also listless, looking as if they were just going through the motions.

On the contrary, among the group from the New Moon Group, Chairwoman Zhao Nianzhen sat up straight, her eyes slightly lifted, looking at the ring below. Her gaze shifted among the crowd of Peak Transcendents and then locked onto Wang Jinhua.

"Everyone, silence!"

At this moment, Archie flew to the center of the venue with his blade on his back.

"The Peak Group of the Ocean Gathering officially begins today!"

"The format is a ring match. Whoever stands on the ring is the ring master. The one who fights until the last person remains is the strongest Transcendent. During this period, if anyone wins five consecutive matches, they can lock in first place early and reach the summit of the Peak Group!"

"Now, who is willing to be the first ring master?"

Archie's powerful voice immediately spread across most of West Sea Island.

Below the battle ring made of special alloy, the Transcendent representatives from over a hundred martial arts nations scanned each other, all looking eager to move.

If you want to go up, you have to do it early; before Wang Jinhua makes a move, getting one or two wins might result in a surprise in the final ranking!

"I'll do it."

But at this moment, Wang Jinhua leaped up with large strides and stepped directly onto the ring.

Carrying his blade on his shoulder, he looked down at the arena with a smile on his lips: "Who dares to fight?"

Damn!

That bastard Wang Jinhua!

The Transcendent Martial Artists from these hundred-plus martial arts nations were cursing in their hearts. This was too bullying! Was he not going to give anyone else a chance to perform?

They were furious, but no one dared to go up.

Are you kidding? Wang Jinhua's Body Control had already reached the level of a Flying Martial Artist, with a combat power increase of up to 120 times!

Fight, my ass!

Not to mention that among these Transcendent Martial Artists from over a hundred martial arts nations, there were many who hadn't even reached Life Level 49.

There was no helping it; not all martial arts nations could be called powerful nations. Their team leaders didn't even have the Flying Sky level, and they couldn't find any Peak Transcendents in their countries.

They dared to cross the ocean only because they set off together with neighboring major powers.
