The Spirit Rhinoceros Body Refining Technique was an ultimate art for cultivating Defense. While Nie Yun’s practice of it had greatly increased his muscle strength, that strength was rely a byproduct of his muscle growth. ’If I could awaken a Great Strength Dantian and combine it with my Montum of the Earth...’
’My power would increase tenfold!’
How could Nie Yun not be thrilled at the thought?
"A war hamr that weighs over thirty-seven hundred pounds? My heavens, is he even human?"
"How can anyone fight with a hamr that heavy?"
"Just how strong is he? He’s not a Demon Beast in disguise, is he?"
Hearing Venerable Tuxin’s words, the jaws of the crowd below the stage dropped, shock written all over their faces.
In their eyes, weapons were supposed to be agile. A weapon of a few dozen pounds was already considered heavy. Thirty-seven hundred pounds... they couldn’t even lift it, let alone fight with it.
"You dare to act so presumptuously before with a re thirty-seven hundred pounds? How laughable. That’s far too light!" Nie Yun said with a faint smile.
"Over thirty-seven hundred pounds, and he calls that *light*? What kind of monsters are these two?"
Hearing Nie Yun’s words, the faces of the crowd twitched. Even the Baihua Sect Master was giving him a strange look.
’To speak like that, he’s either bluffing or truly powerful. Wielding a thirty-seven hundred pound weapon in combat is certainly intense.’
"This sword of mine was forged entirely from Profound Jade!" Ignoring the crowd’s reactions, Nie Yun flicked his Longsword. A SWOOSH of Sword Qi seed to pierce the very air itself, letting out a series of sharp whistles.
"Profound Jade? The heaviest and hardest tal in the world? How could you have so much of it? Then... how much does your sword weigh?"
Venerable Tuxin was startled to hear the young man reveal the material of his Longsword.
Others might not know of Profound Jade, but he certainly did. ’It’s the heaviest and hardest tal in the world. Adding just a single gram to a weapon could greatly enhance its power and allow it to evolve into a Treasure Sword. A blade forged entirely from Profound Jade... just how heavy would that be?’
’It must be even heavier than my own war hamr!’
"This sword weighs thirteen thousand, four hundred and twenty-four pounds," Nie Yun stated calmly.
"Thirteen thousand, four hundred and twenty-four pounds?" Tuxin’s eyes bulged.
’That’s more than triple the weight of my war hamr...’
’I can wield a three-thousand-plus-pound weapon without feeling its weight because I have a Great Strength Dantian. But this kid doesn’t have the faintest trace of Powerful Qi about him. How could he possibly possess such strength!’
"I don’t believe you! Stop putting on an act. If that sword of yours really weighs over ten thousand pounds, I’ll kill myself on the spot!"
Venerable Tuxin assud Nie Yun was just trying to undermine his confidence. With a cold sneer, he raised his great hamr and brought it smashing down.
"Hmph! Montum of Mountains and Rivers!"
Knowing his opponent was a Strongman wielding his signature weapon, Nie Yun didn’t dare to be careless. He unleashed his Montum of Mountains and Rivers and moved to intercept the blow.
BOOM!
As the two masters’ weapons clashed, a thunderous sound echoed through the air. Venerable Tuxin felt as if an entire mountain was crashing down on him. His palm went numb, and he nearly dropped his war hamr.
Even though he was a Strongman, Nie Yun’s Montum of Mountains and Rivers carried the weight of its nasake. Combined with Nie Yun’s own strength—which exceeded the might of a hundred elephants—it was far too much for Tuxin to withstand.
"Huh? My war hamr..."
Forcing himself to endure the painful vibrations in his hand, Tuxin glanced down at his war hamr. The sight almost made him cough up a mouthful of blood.
His supposedly indestructible war hamr now had a notch hacked into it by the opponent’s black sword. The gleaming new gash reflected the sunlight, making his head spin.
He quickly looked over at his opponent’s Longsword, only to find it completely unscathed—not a single mark on it!
’My war hamr was forged from the finest ore; even a Royal Family’s Top-Grade Weapon shouldn’t have been able to leave a scratch. But now, a single sword strike has gashed it. That just goes to show how hard his black sword is!’
’With such hardness, could it really be Profound Jade?’
A sudden sense of unease crept into Tuxin’s heart, a premonition that he was going to lose.
"Get down! Montum of the Earth!"
Seeing the shock on his opponent’s face, Nie Yun showed no rcy. His Profound Jade Sword quivered as he brought it down in another vicious slash.
This ti, Nie Yun held nothing back. He unleashed the Montum of the Earth, and the Longsword descended with the overwhelming majesty and power of the earth itself.
"Unleash my Powerful Qi! Infinite Strength!"
Tuxin grew fearful at the sight of the incomparably mighty Montum of the Earth. He forcefully activated his Powerful Qi, and his strength underwent another earth-shattering transformation.
Strongn, like those with other special talents, could only display their greatest power by activating their Dantian. It was just like Nie Yun’s talents as a Tracking Master and Beast Tar; without activating his Dantian to produce Tracking Qi or Beast Taming Qi, the talents themselves wouldn’t be very powerful.
A Strongman’s Powerful Qi would ordinarily temper their muscles, granting them a great increase in strength. However, this passive growth was a far cry from the power they could unleash by actively circulating their Powerful Qi!
With the situation so critical, Tuxin held nothing back. His Powerful Qi erupted frantically, and in an instant, he transford into a man of seemingly infinite strength. His muscles bulged grotesquely as his war hamr shot forward like a streak of light to et the incoming blow.
BOOM!
The hamr and sword clashed, and both n were thrown backward, once again evenly matched!
Though they appeared evenly matched, Nie Yun had actually lost the exchange. His opponent hadn’t even used an ultimate technique, yet he had shattered the Montum of the Earth with brute strength alone. It was proof that his power was beyond imagination.
However, despite Venerable Tuxin’s imnse strength, his weapon was simply too inferior. Another gash appeared on his war hamr, far larger than the last. It looked as though a little more force would be enough to cleave the hamr in two!
"HUFF... HUFF! I never expected you to have mastered such a powerful attack technique. It’s on par with my Powerful Qi. Excellent!"
Panting heavily, Venerable Tuxin stared at Nie Yun, his eyes filled with shock.
"I’ll admit, it’s beyond my expectations that your Powerful Qi can increase your strength so dramatically. However, let’s just see how many more tis you can use it!"
With a faint smile, Nie Yun shot forward and unleashed his Montum of the Earth once more!
’My Qi Sea has expanded, and my True Qi reserves are more than ten tis greater than before. Previously, a single strike using Montum of the Earth would have exhausted my power, but now, I can unleash at least ten such strikes!’
Nie Yun refused to believe his opponent’s Qi Sea could have expanded as well. ’It’s impressive enough that he could manage one of those sudden bursts of power. Let’s see how he handles a second!’
BOOM!
The sword and hamr clashed again, and both n were sent reeling backward. This ti, however, Tuxin’s face was pale and he was trembling uncontrollably, looking as if he might plumt from the sky at any mont.
Although Powerful Qi was converted from ordinary True Qi by the Great Strength Dantian, Tuxin’s Qi Sea had limited reserves. How could he possibly compare to a monster like Nie Yun?
"Heh, let’s go again!"
Giving his opponent no chance to breathe, Nie Yun surged forward and unleashed another Montum of the Earth!
CRACK!
This ti, Tuxin had no strength left to resist. With a loud SNAP, his war hamr was cleaved in two. Just like Zhao Xun, he was sent hurtling into the ground like a cannonball. It was impossible to know how many of his bones shattered from the impact.
