Chapter 16

**The Shattered Jade Hand**

Zhang Fenglang stood at the entrance of the classroom, took a deep breath, and firmly held the secret letter given to him by his mother.

A low-grade Yellow Rank mystical technique, in terms of mastery, Zhang Fenglang was absolutely not worried. How could Lin Fei, who was just learning mystical techniques, be his match?

A Yellow Rank mystical technique, in the eyes of outsiders, was a powerful technique far superior to other mystical techniques. Its mastery was not something ordinary mystical techniques could compare to.

When Lin Fei unleashed a Yellow Rank technique, Zhang Fenglang would at most be surprised, but he would never worry about not being able to handle him.

In terms of mastery, Lin Fei was far behind. How could he be a match for him?

This technique, which Zhang Fenglang had learned for over a year, was like showing off one's skills in front of the master. It was purely courting death.

"Shattered Jade Hand, hard yet flexible!"

...

"Junior Brother Lin Fei, when did you learn a Yellow Rank mystical technique? No wonder you have such confidence. It seems the last incident was a great blow to you."

Gao Ren immediately retreated when Lin Fei made his move. Upon seeing the mystical technique, he was even more shocked, never expecting this outcome.

A Yellow Rank technique.

Priced at 20,000, it was unaffordable for poor disciples. Except for family disciples, starting to cultivate a high-grade Yellow Rank mystical technique from the Fourth Level of Martial Dao was like having a solid foundation, making one stronger than others.

Initially, Gao Ren was still worried, but now, with Lin Fei's performance, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Similarly, facing the increasingly strong Lin Fei, the others all showed dissatisfaction.

For example, Zhang Chongshan and Li Xiao, whose faces were dark.

"How could this be? A low-grade Yellow Rank mystical technique, how could that Lin Fei kid possibly learn it? Back then, I had my elder brother guiding me, and it took me great effort to learn it."

Zhang Chongshan was now speechless, his face filled with disbelief.

Anyone would find it hard to believe. Everyone knew that Yellow Rank techniques were divided into upper, middle, and lower grades. The upper grade was the hardest to cultivate, requiring a certain level of insight. Although the lower grade didn't require much insight, it wasn't something just anyone could cultivate, needing guidance from someone experienced.

It was unimaginable how Lin Fei, a family outcast, could learn it in such a short time. It was simply unbelievable.

"Brother Zhang, there's no need to worry. Even if he has learned a Yellow Rank technique, so what? I doubt he has even reached the Lesser Success stage. How can he unleash its full power? Don't forget, a Yellow Rank technique requires mystical energy support. Do you think that Lin Fei kid can cultivate his technique to the Fourth Level of Martial Dao?"

Li Xiao spoke dismissively, but he was very uncomfortable inside.

In their eyes, Lin Fei was a waste. With a family background, he was so miserable in the Divine Martial Gate, it was embarrassing for them.

Hearing this, Zhang Chongshan's pale face recovered somewhat.

...

The Shattered Jade Hand against the Shattered Jade Hand, it was now a good show.

Everyone was shocked. They could see the Yellow Rank mystical technique being unleashed, and it was possible to gain some insights, enhancing their combat power. This had happened before.

"Do you think who will win between the two of them?"

"Isn't it obvious? It must be Senior Brother Zhang Fenglang. His strength has reached the Fifth Level of Martial Dao. How could Lin Fei, who is a latecomer, be his match, even if he has cultivated the Shattered Jade Hand?"

"Senior Brother Zhang Fenglang's Shattered Jade Hand is clearly more powerful. I bet it has reached the Greater Success stage!"

"A Greater Success stage Yellow Rank mystical technique is enough to match a middle-grade Yellow Rank mystical technique. Lin Fei, using this technique, is asking for trouble."

"Showing off in front of the master, he's asking for it. Junior Brother Lin Fei will surely regret it. Why did he have to use the Shattered Jade Hand?"

...

Everyone's eyes were sharp, and they could see the difference in the mystical techniques.

One was a light green, clearly newly cultivated. The other was a deep green, exuding a dangerous aura, showing its power.

Mystical techniques, regardless of who cultivated them, had several minor stages.

First was the initial stage, where one simply grasped the basics, and its power surpassed ordinary mystical techniques.

Next was the Lesser Success stage, where the mystical technique could be used subconsciously, and all its variations could be fully utilized.

Finally, the Greater Success stage, where the mystical technique's power would increase several times, and all its hidden principles could be mastered.

The difference in mystical techniques was reflected in the level of mastery.

The difference between the initial stage and the Lesser Success stage was obvious and didn't require much speculation.

...

"Bang!"

"Bang"

"Bang!"

Zhang Fenglang's Shattered Jade Hand struck like a raging wind, each blow bringing a violent aura. Even a massive boulder would shatter under such an attack.

Under such violent attacks, Lin Fei was in a defensive position but did not show any signs of defeat.

The outer disciples were all shocked. How could this be? Zhang Fenglang, at the Fifth Level of Martial Dao, had unleashed the Shattered Jade Hand multiple times and still hadn't defeated Lin Fei. It was hard to believe.

"Senior Brother's mystical technique is nothing special. It doesn't seem very powerful. Try this!"

Lin Fei laughed loudly, blocking all the violent attacks of the Shattered Jade Hand without showing any signs of injury. The Monkey Spirit Technique moved again, and he dodged left and right, striking down from above. The light green color suddenly changed, and the wind roared.

Zhang Fenglang had used 50% of his power in the previous attacks, which had already consumed a lot of mystical energy. When his palm struck, it felt like hitting the vast ocean, and he was truly shocked.

"You actually cultivated the Shattered Jade Hand to the Lesser Success stage? How did you do it?"

Although Zhang Fenglang was suspicious, he felt that Lin Fei's Shattered Jade Hand was not as powerful as his own. Eventually, Lin Fei would either be severely injured or run out of mystical energy.

When Lin Fei advanced from the initial stage to the Lesser Success stage, Zhang Fenglang was slightly stunned.

"Rubbish, if you can cultivate to the Greater Success stage, why can't I? I will use the Shattered Jade Hand to beat you to the ground and see what Zhang Chongshan and the others have to say."

Lin Fei sneered, pressing his palm down, and a buzzing sound echoed in the air, making people's scalps tingle. It was truly a Lesser Success stage Yellow Rank technique.

His palm technique was powerful.

Zhang Fenglang, enraged, flipped his hand, and the Shattered Jade Hand brought a hint of color. He struck Lin Fei's hand with one palm and punched Lin Fei's lower abdomen with the other, using both palm and fist techniques.

Instantly, Lin Fei was in danger.

"You know fist techniques, I know fist techniques too!"

With a burst of mystical energy, Lin Fei was slightly stunned but immediately pressed his Shattered Jade Hand down, unleashing the mystical technique he had learned.

"Eight Directions Fist!"

As the fist technique was unleashed, Lin Fei's aura suddenly changed. He seemed like a giant from the wilderness, and anyone under this fist would be killed.
