Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 1215: Chapter 1214: [Burst of Power, Shocking the Strong]

[Today’s fourth update has been delivered on time again. Xiao Gou has been diligently and desperately writing these days. I really feel a bit tired. I’ll go to sleep first, and when I wake up, I hope to see a lot of rewards and plenty of red notes...]

”I think you should stop praising the Taishi family’s prowess and think about how to defeat these stone men!” the old fellow from the Tripod Sect said through clenched teeth.

”Yes, we don’t know what other restrictions and dangers might still exist here. If we don’t quickly defeat these six stone men, we’ll just waste time and let even greater crises emerge!” the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family said urgently.

Naturally, the most anxious and distressed are these two initially arrogant and domineering individuals. They are both heavily injured now, not only with damaged Divine Thought and depleted Martial Arts True Qi, but their True Qi is also suppressed. With their physical bodies damaged, wanting to use their physical body power to repel the stone men in front of them is very difficult. They can only continue to engage in a prolonged skirmish, barely blocking the attacks of the stone men. If they continue like this, they will eventually be seriously injured or even smashed into minced meat; how could they not be anxious!

”I say, you two, don’t you have Spiritual Grass Divine Medicine on you? Take one out and eat it, you’ll instantly recover!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

”Pah, wastrel! You’re squandering heaven’s treasures recklessly, devouring spiritual grass and divine medicine like this will bring heavenly punishment. I’d rather die than do that,” the old man from the Tripod Sect cursed fiercely.

”Exactly, devouring a whole Spiritual Grass Divine Medicine like this will only allow for half of the Divine Power to be absorbed, causing most of the Divine Power to be lost. It’s simply wastrel behavior; I would never do that.” The middle-aged man from the Xinyang family said loudly.

Ye Tianchen shook his head and smiled. These two arrogant and domineering individuals are truly ignorant of death; Spiritual Grass Divine Medicine, no matter how important, isn’t more important than one’s life. To be so focused on completely refining the Divine Power of these Spiritual Grass Divine Medicines, yet not taking a single one even in such a situation—if it were Ye Tianchen himself, he would have swallowed one in a gulp long ago. Whatever the Spiritual Grass Divine Medicine is, isn’t it just for consumption and cultivation?

Of course, there might be another reason: the Tripod Sect and Xinyang family exerted all efforts to send this old fellow and middle-aged man inside. If they find out these two have obtained Spiritual Grass Divine Medicine and consumed it alone, especially in such a squander manner, it’s feared that the old fellows of these two inheritances would cut open their bellies and excavate the Divine Power within them. Every Spiritual Grass Divine Medicine is crucial to these nearly dead old fellows; it might even let them live several decades or even centuries longer. Although not as miraculous and powerful as Life-extending Immortal Elixir, which allows martial artists to live another life, yet it isn’t simple at all. Even a few more years longer for an old fellow can ensure the lineage doesn’t face oppression or extermination during his living years and allows the younger generation within the lineage to grow, thus extending a powerful legacy. For many old fellows, the only use they have when reaching near their end is this point. Without strong martial artists to anchor the lineage and powerful treasures of the sect to back them, a lineage is vulnerable to extinction and can’t possibly rise; this is the brutal and bloody reality of the Martial Arts World, where anytime and anywhere someone might wipe you out.

Boom!

With a loud noise, the veiled woman stepped back a few paces, standing next to Ye Tianchen. Her physical body power was indeed somewhat weaker, not a match for the stone man in front of her. Managing to last this long was already quite impressive. However, this does not mean the veiled woman is weaker in combat strength compared to Ye Tianchen and others. The veiled woman is also at the Mid-stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm, quite rare among female martial artists. This is not due to gender discrimination, but because martial artists’ cultivation is more difficult and arduous for women—something determined by the Magic Law of this Martial Arts World. The Heavenly Dao is unfair, treating all things as straw dogs!

”We must break through quickly; I have a bad feeling these six stone men are not the most powerful...” The veiled woman transmitted through Divine Thought to Ye Tianchen.

”I have the same feeling, why don’t you step aside a little, and I’ll Shock Kill these two stone men!” Ye Tianchen said seriously.

”Hmm? I didn’t say this because I wanted your help, besides do you really have such formidable physical body power? Able to simultaneously Shock Kill two stone men?” The veiled woman asked, puzzled.

Ye Tianchen smiled slightly without answering. He knew the veiled woman did not believe his physical body was that powerful, because if his physical body was this strong, he would have already repelled the stone men earlier, so why didn’t he use it?

This is indeed the case—Ye Tianchen’s physical body power is incredibly strong; he just hasn’t fully displayed it, holding back somewhat because he wants to see how powerful the combat strength of the others truly is. He knows their cultivation realms are similar, which is a great opportunity to understand how strong the physical body power of others is. Plus Ye Tianchen is no pushover; he’s not very familiar with these people, and anytime there’s a chance of internal strife or even a life-and-death battle upon witnessing the Taishi family’s inheritance. At this time, having these six stone men weaken their combat strength is all the better!

What Ye Tianchen did not expect was that aside from the slight weakness in the physical strength of the veiled woman, the physical strengths of the others were all formidable, especially the Wudao Saint Child, whose physical strength almost equaled his. This revelation startled Ye Tianchen, as the Wudao Saint Child appeared to be a natural prodigy destined to become a formidable force in the Martial Arts World, possibly leading to a fierce battle between them for the throne of the Martial Arts Peak. Just the thought of it was both exciting and alarming.

”Everyone, let’s use our full strength to strike down these six Stone Men together. It seems something even more powerful is approaching!” Ye Tianchen shouted loudly.

At this moment, everyone nodded. They all possessed the Mid-stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm’s strength. Although True Qi and Divine Thought were suppressed here, it didn’t mean they couldn’t use these powers; it’s just that they were relatively weaker. Now, they all sensed danger, as if a creature stronger than these six Stone Men was approaching, making them all incredibly uneasy. It appeared that getting close to that enormous Stele was not easy, and it’s uncertain whether someone might perish here.

After Ye Tianchen finished speaking, he tightly clenched his right fist, which emitted a powerful radiance, surrounded by the Power of thunder and lightning. This shocked everyone present, leaving them in disbelief, especially the Wudao Saint Child, whose eyes flashed with a peculiar light, revealing a desire to obtain such power.

”Why can this boy still use Martial Arts True Power?” the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family asked, amazed, looking at Ye Tianchen.

”No, it’s not Martial Arts True Power, it’s purely physical strength!” commented the old fellow from the Tripod Sect, equally astonished.

”Such powerful physical strength is almost comparable to the offspring of the Ancient Alien Race’s supreme beings. It’s rumored that the offspring of supreme beings from ancient times had extraordinary talents, able to destroy a Star with just their physical strength. Has this boy cultivated to such a degree?” remarked the old man with the pipe, looking at Ye Tianchen with new respect.

”So, you have always hidden your Cultivation Realm and have never displayed such powerful physical strength,” the veiled woman said, looking at Ye Tianchen.

”It’s the same for all of you; weren’t you also conserving your strength along the way? It’s an unspoken understanding among us. However, now we have to join forces. I will shock kill these six Stone Men, and you all charge forward, clearing a path. We must reach the enormous Stele soon, or else, when that terrifying thing in the distance appears, we might all perish here!” Ye Tianchen spoke with a serious tone.

Bang!

At the same time, the Stone Man directly opposite Ye Tianchen already punched towards him at great speed, with inconceivable destructive power that shattered the air, giving a suffocating feeling. There seemed to be a power of Rune circulating, unique to the Stone Man tribe, extremely terrifying, leaving everyone in awe. However, Ye Tianchen neither evaded nor dodged, choosing to meet the attack with his right fist enveloped in the Power of thunder and lightning, aiming to compete physically with the Stone Man.

”This boy...is he crazy? No matter how strong his physical strength is, it’s impossible to compete directly with this Stone Man. Moreover, the Stone Man’s punch contains concealed Runes, truly terrifying!” exclaimed the old fellow from the Tripod Sect, incredulously.

”It’s impossible for him to win...” asserted the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family. He naturally hoped Ye Tianchen would lose his life because Ye Tianchen had once claimed he would fight Young Master Xinyang to humble him. The stronger Ye Tianchen appeared, the more uneasy the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family felt, disliking Ye Tianchen’s formidable prowess.

”The power in his punch is purely physical, not the power of thunder and lightning. It’s just that his physical strength is so immense that it manifests in the form of thunder and lightning. It’s inconceivable! Has he really cultivated his physical strength to rival that of an Ancient Alien Race’s supreme offspring?” wondered the old man with the pipe in amazement.

”Through the ages, Martial Artists who focus on physical cultivation are not unheard of, but those who reach his level are truly rare. Except for a few with innate overbearing bloodlines that naturally enhance physical strength, someone like him, without any overpowering bloodline, achieving such a degree of physical strength is possibly the first in history...” the Wudao Saint Child said intently, focused on Ye Tianchen.
