In less than a minute, Li San and Wuxue fought nearly a hundred fierce moves against each other. Both demonstrated immense strength, and all members of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings, including Ye Tianchen, watched intently.

Wuxue was using Xingyi Boxing, which, at the Transformation Realm, allowed each punch to manifest the form of a ferocious beast, not just in shape but also in the beast’s power and might. When Ye Tianchen first battled Wuxue, if he hadn’t broken through to the King-level Superpower Realm, it might not have been so easy to defeat Wuxue. Compared to that time, Wuxue’s Xingyi Boxing had improved considerably.

Li San employed the Monument Pushing Hand, known to Ye Tianchen alone among those present. The technique’s power is immense, traditionally passed from one master to only one disciple. Its strength is so great that it could split mountains and heaven itself—this was no exaggeration.

Xingyi Boxing versus Monument Pushing Hand—who was stronger, Wuxue or Li San? In Ye Tianchen’s eyes, it wasn’t a matter of which technique was stronger. Any martial art that had survived to this day had its unique strengths. It wasn’t about one technique being inferior to another, but rather the practitioner’s talent, determination, and effort. It had nothing to do with the power of the technique itself; it depended on whether the practitioner had such innate talent.

In the first round, Wuxue launched an attack, punching out a fierce tiger that pounced toward Li San. Li San, equally strong, shattered the tiger with one palm, then exchanged a further blow with Wuxue. Both were sent reeling back, now standing five meters apart, staring each other down intensely.

”So, so strong...” Hu Long, the youngest, who was witnessing such a high-level battle for the first time, could not help but exclaim.

”These two guys are too formidable. Wuxue’s Xingyi Boxing has significantly improved, and Li San can actually shatter a Xingyi Boxing tiger with one palm. The power in his hands is no joke, either. It’s just that his Absolute Skill remains a mystery to us,” Wang Jie also commented.

”Big Brother, who do you think will win this fight, Wuxue or Li San?” Bao Tianglong also came over and asked quietly.

Ye Tianchen glanced at Wuxue and Li San on the open ground. He had already extended his Superpower Perception, sensing the immense energy emanating from both. Just now, Wuxue had used Xingyi Boxing, and although he wasn’t at full strength, it was formidable nonetheless. Ordinary people couldn’t possibly withstand it. Likely, only Li San could counter it with the enormous palm force of Monument Pushing Hand, shattering the illusory tiger. Li San might have appeared to not use Monument Pushing Hand, but in fact, he had utilized the technique’s Inner Strength. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to shatter Wuxue’s Xingyi Boxing. Both their strengths were immense and inscrutable. The true combat power of many was only revealed in a frenzied, possession-like battle, a fight to the brink of life and death. Ye Tianchen was such a person.

”In my view, neither of them will win, nor will either lose,” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

”Look, they’re fighting again...” Hu Long couldn’t help but interrupt.

At that moment, Wuxue and Li San launched towards each other again after the first round. Not a word exchanged, one with fists clenched, the other with palms ready; they charged at tremendous speed. The power unleashed in this clash dwarfed that of the beginning, filling the open ground with wild energy that even surprised Ye Tianchen’s Superpower Perception.

Boom!

A loud explosion erupted, and both Wuxue and Li San staggered back more than ten steps. Wuxue’s whole body surged with an extraordinary power as he smiled at Li San, ”Brother Li, if you don’t use your Absolute Skill now, you’re really going to get hurt!”

”You’re very strong, young man. Let’s see if you can handle this...” Li San’s palm gestures changed, indicating he was ready to use Monument Pushing Hand. Wuxue’s power also took Li San by surprise, who realized that not using Monument Pushing Hand would be impossible. Wuxue’s Xingyi Boxing was nearing Great Success.

”Xingyi Dragon Fist!”

Suddenly, with a loud shout from Wuxue, he struck with both fists, and a colossal Cang Long emerged with a thunderous Dragon Roar, striking at Li San like lightning. The spectacle shocked the other watching members of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings.

”Is this... the Peak state of Xingyi Boxing?”

”Wuxue’s Xingyi Boxing has improved a great deal...”

”I wonder if Brother Li San can take this...”

Some members couldn’t help but discuss among themselves; in Ye Tianchen’s absence, the Thirteen Heavenly Kings were always run by Wuxue and Wang Jie, with Wang Jie basically staying out of the group’s affairs, preferring to fight and slay instead. All other matters had to be handled by Wuxue, who was not only highly skilled and unfathomably strong but also very intelligent. He managed the affairs of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings exceptionally well and was deeply supported by the brothers. Therefore, when Wuxue executed one of the Absolute Skills of his Xingyi Boxing, ”Xingyi Dragon Fist,” several members couldn’t help but cheer.

”I didn’t expect Wuxue to have mastered another Absolute Skill. Although it’s still somewhat incomplete, its power is already immense.” Ye Tianchen nodded as he spoke.

”This move is something Wuxue has only recently completed. Xingyi Boxing is difficult and complex to practice, and after fighting with a master of the Beichen Saber Style, Wuxue not only supervised the other brothers’ training every day but also took the time to cultivate diligently. He said that if the Thirteen Heavenly Kings cannot grow stronger and if every brother can’t keep enhancing their strength, then the dream of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings making a name for themselves in the world would be impossible to achieve!” Bao Tianglong spoke up.

”Yes, that’s why my requirement for all of you is to never slacken in your cultivation at any time. Remember, there will always be someone stronger out there, someone beyond your reach. Only by maintaining a fearless heart and an indomitable spirit can you go further...”

At this point, Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but think of Emperor Star. If one day he went to Emperor Star, should he take the members of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings with him? Their strength was formidable, and they were certainly not ordinary in mindset, but would they be willing to go to Emperor Star? In any case, he decided he must seek their opinion and see what choice they would make willingly.

”Be careful, Brother Li. If you get surrounded by this Dragon Fist, it will be very dangerous!” Wuxue executed the ”Xingyi Dragon Fist,” yet he didn’t forget to remind his opponent. This was just sparring, after all, and they were all brothers of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings, not locked in a battle to the death.

”Thanks, watch how I break your move!”

After Li San finished speaking, his expression became grave. As a master like him, he couldn’t help but feel the power behind Wuxue’s Absolute Skill of Xingyi Boxing, especially the immense Cang Long bearing down on him. Li San felt that relying on his own Inner Strength of Monument Pushing Hand, he couldn’t shatter it as he had the ferocious tiger, indicating that he had no choice but to use the ultimate technique of Monument Pushing Hand—Sky-shattering!

In the blink of an eye, the ”Xingyi Dragon Fist” thrown by Wuxue brought the enormous Cang Long straight upon Li San, closing to less than a meter away, its vast maw poised to swallow Li San whole. Li San quickly retreated two steps, and a slow accumulation of power on both fists began to sparkle with specks of starlight, astonishing everyone, including Wuxue himself, who seemed to realize something but wasn’t sure.

”This... What Absolute Skill is Brother Li using, and how can such terrifying power erupt from his fists?”

”So, so powerful, I’ve never seen such a technique that concentrates strength to a single point.”

”Could it be... Big brother, could Li San be using Monument Pushing Hand?”

In the end, it was Bao Tianglong—a highly experienced and acclaimed fourth War King—who guessed the ultimate technique that Li San was using. This revelation stunned several nearby members of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings who had heard of the Monument Pushing Hand’s ultimate technique, although they never imagined actually seeing someone proficient in it, particularly Li San, who seemed to have nearly reached Great Success with the style.

”Brother, be careful! Monument Pushing Hand... Sky-shattering!” With a loud yell from Li San, all the specialized power concentrated in his fists exploded outwards, striking the charging Cang Long.

A flash of white light dazzled many, leaving them unable to open their eyes, except for Ye Tianchen, who kept his gaze fixed on the empty space, summarizing the combat experience and understanding the different paths of Martial Arts from various Absolute Skills. This was the reason why Ye Tianchen loved to battle with and watch fights between masters.

When everyone could finally see clearly what was left on the ground, they saw Ye Tianchen already standing between Wuxue and Li San, smiling and saying, ”No need to continue fighting. You both have displayed your signature moves, and even if you did not go all out, it’s close enough. To continue would only lead to mutual injury without deciding a victor.”

The final assessment of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings ended with Li San and Wuxue declared evenly matched. Naturally, they didn’t dwell on the outcome, being forthright men. The sparring between brothers was something to look forward to in the days to come, and the time for eating and drinking together had arrived. With Ye Tianchen present, how could they not indulge in food and drink? As for selecting members to carry out the mission in M country, Ye Tianchen decided to deal with it after everyone had their fill. It had been a long time since he gathered with his brothers, and Ye Tianchen was truly happy. (To be continued.
