Chapter 78

What? Shen Xiang was about to compete with Fang Liang, who had a great reputation, which surprised many people, including Yao Haisheng and Fang Liang.

Hao Dongqing, who had just helped Shen Xiang, watched the scene with great interest. Zhu Rong, on the other hand, secretly despised Shen Xiang because he had just learned that Shen Xiang was an alchemist, and Shen Xiang had previously acted modestly in front of him.

"Quick, do you want to get hurt? It's hard to control your strength during a fight. If you get seriously injured, your life will be over. You should cultivate for a few more years before coming back," Yao Haisheng said, waving his hand. He was not very clear about the detailed situation of the Yao family's destruction, but he knew that Shen Xiang was the cause of the incident and that Shen Xiang had led people to destroy the Yao family. He guessed that Shen Xiang's strength was equivalent to the Ninth Level of the Mortal Martial Realm, but in his view, the Ninth Level of the Mortal Martial Realm in the secular world was vastly different from that in the Great Martial Sect.

"Since he wants to fight, why don't you let him?" Hao Dongqing said, glancing at Shen Xiang and giving him a slight smile.

"Then let's fight. I can cripple this guy with just one move," Fang Liang said, walking out with an impatient look on his face.

Shen Xiang had not expected that there would be members of the Yao family in the Great Martial Sect, and they were even at the True Martial Realm. Fortunately, there were rules that people from this world could not cause trouble in the secular world.

The people who came for the assessment immediately dispersed. Although this fight delayed their testing, it was a good show, and many people were looking forward to seeing Fang Liang in action. They wanted to see the strength of the thirtieth-ranked disciple of the Great Martial Sect's outer sect.

"Let me make it clear, if you get injured, you can't blame the other party; you can only blame yourself for being too weak," Fang Liang said loudly.

Shen Xiang nodded and said, "If I get seriously injured, it's my own fault, and I can't blame others."

"You're right, stop talking nonsense and start!" Fang Liang said, looking annoyed, and took a step forward. Just as Yao Haisheng shouted, "Start!"

Fang Liang was the first to make a move. As he ran, his steps were heavy, producing a series of thunderclaps, as if he were stepping on lightning. His speed was extremely fast, and his fists were covered with white lightning, which was actually pure lightning true qi.

Shen Xiang was an expert in lightning, and when he started cultivating wood-attribute true qi, he often drew lightning to temper his body. That was the wild and violent lightning formed by nature, but he could withstand it. At this moment, the lightning posed no threat to him, especially given his powerful physical body.

Just as everyone thought that Shen Xiang's chest would be punched into a bloody hole by the "Thunderclap Fist," everyone immediately made a blocking gesture to defend against the explosive lightning true qi. However, to their surprise, what they had expected did not happen.

Fang Liang leaped out, using the explosive force from his feet to create an even stronger momentum. He also unleashed a powerful "Thunderclap Fist," which hit Shen Xiang's chest. However, when his fist heavily struck Shen Xiang's chest, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, with no reaction at all.

At that moment, Shen Xiang had activated the Taiji Divine Skill. His body was like a large vortex, and any force that hit him would be swallowed by the vortex. When he drew lightning to temper his body, he often did this, so his lightning true qi was very well cultivated.

"Great Martial Sect, I'm in!" Shen Xiang laughed and punched Fang Liang, who was still in shock. A large amount of flame erupted from his fist like a volcanic eruption, instantly engulfing Fang Liang. The force also sent Fang Liang flying, and he was burning in the intense flames, rolling and screaming on the ground.

"Fang Liang!" Yao Haisheng shouted in alarm and rushed over. With a wave of his sleeve, the flames immediately dissipated, and Fang Liang was left with severe burns all over his body, like a piece of charcoal. His external injuries were very serious, and his internal meridians were also burned.

The temperature around them was scorching, but everyone was sweating cold sweat! Just one punch had defeated the thirtieth-ranked disciple of the Great Martial Sect's outer sect. Everyone thought about how Fang Liang had looked down on Shen Xiang and couldn't help but laugh.

"I won. Can I enter the Great Martial Sect now? And without paying any crystals!" Shen Xiang grinned.

Yao Haisheng was furious and was about to say something when Hao Dongqing laughed and said, "Yao Haisheng, your precious disciple said that any injuries during the fight were his own responsibility and couldn't be blamed on others! Are you going to break your disciple's promise? Also, you said Shen Xiang could enter the Great Martial Sect without paying any additional fees. The crystals will have to come out of your pocket, as it was your promise."

Shen Xiang laughed and said, "Senior Brother Yao, it turns out you're the one paying the crystals for me. I'm truly grateful."

Yao Haisheng was so angry that his mouth and eyes twitched violently. Shen Xiang was just an ant in his eyes, and he could crush him with one palm, but if he did so, his good days would be over because the rules of the Great Martial Sect were very strict.

"Remember this!" Yao Haisheng picked up the charred Fang Liang and rushed into the Great Martial Sect. At this moment, someone else took over the testing.

"Junior Brother Shen, welcome to the Great Martial Sect. Follow me, I'll take you to complete the procedures," the chubby Zhu Rong shouted from a distance. He looked at Shen Xiang as if he were seeing a pile of crystals.

Shen Xiang walked over with a smile. "Thank you, Senior Brother Hao, or I would have been driven away long ago."

"I just said a few words, I didn't really help. But it was hilarious to see this guy dig his own fire pit and jump into it, and you pushed him in," Hao Dongqing laughed and turned to leave.

"Chubby, who is Senior Brother Hao to you? Your master?" Shen Xiang asked in a low voice as he followed Zhu Rong. Being able to have a True Martial Realm martial artist as a master was quite a good thing.

"He's my uncle! By the way, you know alchemy, and you wasted the Purple Spirit Fruit. You're really a show-offing idiot," Zhu Rong thought of Shen Xiang eating the Purple Spirit Fruit and felt a slight pain in his heart.

Shen Xiang laughed and scolded, "You cunning fatso, you initially planned to buy my Purple Spirit Fruit for ten crystals. I just asked, and people are selling it for three hundred crystals. You only sold it to me for two hundred, you really screwed me over."

Zhu Rong pouted and said, "That was your choice, I didn't force you!"
