Open up and break into another world

Just one punch, and I'll recognize reality?

“Ha, haha…” Sun Ji couldn't help but laugh again, “I've seen arrogant people, but I've never seen anyone as arrogant as you!”

The surroundings were filled with mockery.

“He's so shameless!”

“He definitely doesn't know how strong Sun Ji's defense is, that's why he dares to spout such nonsense!”

“That's right… Sun Ji's freakish physique can withstand several attacks from a sixth-stage Body Refinement expert, let alone him?”

“Just wait and see, he'll suffer for provoking Sun Ji!”

…

Xu Ming grinned: “Whether I'm arrogant or not, you'll find out soon enough!”

With that, Xu Ming directly activated the “Perfect Battle” cheat.

Activating “Perfect Battle” once is equivalent to consuming ten days' worth of cheat points from idling. If Xu Ming hadn't just made a small fortune and was feeling flush, he really wouldn't dare to waste cheat points on such a petty squabble.

“Hiya!”

As Xu Ming clenched his fist, he felt all the power in his body converge in his fist.

“This feeling of controlling everything at will is truly wonderful!”

For Xu Ming, the “Microscopic Insight” realm was undoubtedly still too far away. Even though he had the illusion of controlling everything at will in the “Perfect Battle” state, he was actually still one step away from “Microscopic Insight” and hadn't truly reached it.

Despite this, Gu Hanmo, Qin Ran, and Elder Du were all shocked when they saw Xu Ming make his move. This was because even the legendary figure of the Flying Cloud Kingdom, Elder Du, had not yet stepped into the “Microscopic Insight” realm, but was also one step away from it.

In other words, after Xu Ming activated the “Perfect Battle” cheat, his realm was on par with Elder Du!

With such a realm, dealing with the simple-minded Sun Ji was simply bullying! You must know that when the realm is high, one point of strength can exert the effect of ten points of strength!

Moreover…

Five days had passed, and Xu Ming's current cultivation was already—fifth-stage Body Refinement!

Whoosh!

Xu Ming's fist was like a spinning diamond drill. The power of this punch was very internal, but in reality, it had far exceeded the fifth-stage of Body Refinement, and even faintly surpassed the scope of Body Refinement.

“Heh!” The ignorant Sun Ji, seeing Xu Ming's fist coming over “weakly,” chuckled, “Such a weak attack, what can you do even if I stand here and let you hit me? Trash is trash after all!”

However, as soon as Xu Ming's fist reached him, Sun Ji's expression suddenly twisted!

His expression showed uncontrollable pain, but even more so, disbelief in his wide eyes!

Bang!

The power of this punch was extremely restrained, it didn't send Sun Ji flying, but it made him curl up on the ground like a shrimp, wailing in pain, unable to stand up for a long time.

“Ah—woo—”

The surrounding crowd stared blankly at the wailing Sun Ji, and listening to Sun Ji's gasping screams, they looked at each other, not knowing what was going on—because in their opinion, Xu Ming's punch just now wasn't strong!

“Hey, hey, Sun Ji, what's wrong with you? Are you acting?”

Sun Ji was in so much pain that he couldn't speak for a moment: “Act… act your mother!”

“Uh…”

The new disciples looked at each other even more, unable to figure out what was going on for a long time.

After a while, Sun Ji finally stood up again, staring at Xu Ming with burning eyes, his tone barely suppressing his excitement: “You've also advanced to the fifth-stage of Body Refinement these past few days, right?”

Xu Ming nodded slightly.

“Awesome!” Sun Ji said excitedly, “Simply too awesome! I'm also at the fifth-stage of Body Refinement—Xu Ming, you're the most awesome opponent of the same level that I've ever seen! I, Sun Ji, formally challenge you!”

At this time, the surrounding new disciples came back to their senses: “Hey, Sun Ji, are you saying that this person who took forbidden drugs is very powerful?”

“Took forbidden drugs?” Sun Ji said disdainfully, “I'm really an idiot, to actually believe such rumors! With Xu Ming's brother's punch just now, it would be as easy as pie to enter the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion; but Xu Ming's brother failed the new recruit assessment and was branded with the stigma of taking forbidden drugs—needless to say, someone must have deliberately spread rumors to slander my brother Xu Ming!”

Although Sun Ji was a bit slow-witted, once he encountered someone he admired, he would immediately treat them like a brother from the bottom of his heart. See, in the blink of an eye, he was calling him “brother Xu Ming” repeatedly.

“That punch was very powerful?” The surrounding people, including the martial arts instructor, didn't see where the punch was powerful.

“I admit that my punch isn't as powerful as that!” Sun Ji glanced around, “Or, if anyone doesn't believe me, try it?”

More powerful than your punch?

The new disciples immediately shrank their heads—many of them had seen or even tried how powerful Sun Ji's punch was.

“You challenge me?” Since he was already being high-profile, Xu Ming planned to continue being high-profile, “You're not my opponent.”

“Not your opponent?” Sun Ji, upon hearing this, was not annoyed at all, but rather excited, “How would I know if I don't try? Take my punch first!”

With that, Sun Ji's huge body pounced towards Xu Ming like Mount Tai pressing down.

Boom!

Sun Ji's iron fist was incomparably fierce, and with one punch, the surrounding people could feel the power of this punch from afar!

“What powerful natural strength!”

Xu Ming, who had activated “Perfect Battle” at this time, had an incomparably sharp vision, and he was the target of Sun Ji's punch; naturally, he could more deeply experience the power of this punch than anyone else.

“I can't clash head-on!”

Even though Xu Ming's strength was stronger than that of an ordinary fifth-stage Body Refinement expert, he had to back down at this time. The reason why Xu Ming's punch was strong was because his attack contained the mysteries of the realm; if he clashed head-on, even with Perfect Battle activated, he would not be Sun Ji's opponent.

In an instant, Xu Ming's hands formed palms, drawing a Tai Chi circle, and easily unloaded Sun Ji's power.

Xu Ming naturally didn't know palm techniques; but Xu Ming was fine, with “Perfect Battle” activated, there was nothing he didn't know among the eighteen martial arts!

“Interesting!” Sun Ji became even more excited when he saw that his punch had missed.

It was the first time he had encountered a martial artist of the same level who could steadily catch his punch. You must know that even when he fought against martial artists of the sixth-stage of Body Refinement, he would crush them.

In a state of excitement, Sun Ji's iron fist was smashing down punch after punch.

And Xu Ming was methodical, dissolving each punch with one palm after another. Of course, when receiving the moves, Xu Ming's feet also had to retreat step by step.

“This… this…” The instructors of the Wild Martial Manor, as well as this batch of new disciples, although their eyesight was not very good, were not blind. They all saw that Sun Ji was already fighting with all his strength, but Xu Ming didn't dodge, and steadily received every punch.

Just as they were shocked, suddenly, they didn't see what Xu Ming did, they only felt Xu Ming's figure flash, and then, Sun Ji flew!

Bang!

Hundreds of eyes stared at Sun Ji who fell to the ground, they all felt like they were dreaming.

“Sun Ji? Lost?”

The martial arts instructor secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead: “Is the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion stupid? Such an awesome young man, they actually expelled and smeared him… It's still the Manor Lord who has discerning eyes, I don't know when he brought back such a promising person!”

“Are you convinced?” Xu Ming stood proudly.

“Convinced! Convinced!” Sun Ji nodded like he was mashing garlic, he was really convinced.

“But…” Sun Ji said a little embarrassedly, “Can I use weapons and try fighting you for a while?”

Sun Ji had heard that Xu Ming's best skill was spearmanship, and he wanted to see it.

“Bring out your weapons! I also want to see your two big hammers!” Xu Ming gestured with his hand.

“Your weapon?”

“Me? I don't need a weapon!”

Too arrogant!

These four words flashed through everyone's minds.

But this time, no one dared to speak out to mock him; because they saw that Xu Ming was indeed stronger than Sun Ji. However, Xu Ming was going to deal with Sun Ji, who had weapons, with his bare hands, and everyone felt that he was too arrogant.

But who told him to have the capital to be arrogant?

“Okay, then be careful!”

Sun Ji swung a big iron hammer in each hand, as if he was wielding two walls.

However, immediately afterwards, everyone felt a blur before their eyes—Xu Ming actually passed through the middle of the two waving walls like a bolt of lightning.

With another blur before their eyes, Xu Ming's claws had already grabbed Sun Ji's throat.

“What!?”

Although everyone had thought that Xu Ming might win; but no one had thought that the victory would be so simple.

“Too slow!” Xu Ming commented with a bit of swagger, “No matter how great the power, it's useless if you can't touch people.”

Sun Ji was stunned for a while, then suddenly—

Thump!

He actually knelt down directly: “Big brother, please accept me as your disciple!”

“You?” Xu Ming shook his head, “I don't need such a stupid disciple.”

Stupid?

Hearing Xu Ming say Sun Ji was “stupid” again, but this time, no one spoke out.

Isn't that right, in front of Xu Ming, Sun Ji was completely a stupid cow with brute force.

“Big brother, big brother, don't abandon me!” Sun Ji's personality was stupid and cute; seeing that Xu Ming refused to accept him as a disciple, he panicked and grabbed Xu Ming's leg, almost crying—I must worship such an awesome big brother as my teacher! When I learn a bit of his fur, plus my brute force, I'll definitely be incredibly awesome!

“But I'm just a new disciple in the Martial Manor, not a teacher, how can I accept you as a disciple?” Xu Ming pulled his leg out of Sun Ji's embrace, “How about this, someone like me, a man of the hour, is destined to be bothered by a lot of nobodies in the future, you can be my little brother and help me deal with some trivial matters!”

“Little brother?” Sun Ji thought for a while, although it wasn't a master-disciple relationship, it wasn't bad either, “Little brother is good, little brother is good, then I'll be your little brother!”

“Since you're my little brother, then you must have work to do! Listen carefully, your task is that whoever wants to bother me in the future must first pass your test!”

“Yes, yes!” Sun Ji was like an obedient big baby.

“Oh, right—except for beauties, just bring them to see me directly.”
