Chapter 71 Unparalleled Beauty
Chapter 71 Unparalleled Beauty
Master Wang exhaled a long breath of turbid air, which shot out three feet like a sharp arrow, creating a visible ripple of air on the white jade steps in front of him.
He slowly stood up, and his bones emitted a series of shocking crackling sounds, like popping beans. Then, a deep and resonant thunderous sound rolled out from the depths of his body, causing the surrounding air to tremble slightly.
"Cool!"
Wang Dao felt the immense power surging within his body like a mighty river, and a wild smile spread across his lips.
These past two weeks have been both a hellish ordeal and a heavenly experience.
To maintain this relentless, high-intensity training, he devoured three bottles of the incredibly precious Purple Gold Eight Treasures Pill as if they were candy.
In addition, he spent forty minor merits to sweep up a batch of top-quality medicines that could nourish the spirit from the exchange list.
If it were an ordinary person, even if their physical body could withstand such exertion, their mental world would have already collapsed due to exhaustion.
But Wang Dao was different. The purple dragon-patterned pendant at his waist constantly emitted a warm purple aura, nourishing his sea of consciousness like a gentle stream. Combined with those priceless treasures, it made him like a tireless perpetual motion machine, running wildly for a full half month.
"No wonder the holy sons and daughters of those aristocratic families are all ridiculously strong. This kind of cultivation speed, which is achieved by throwing money at it, is simply cheating."
Wang Dao thought to himself, "Is this the joy of having money? It's really good."
With a thought, the familiar light blue panel instantly unfolded before his eyes.
[Bestowed Title]: Unparalleled
With the successful mastery of the second transformation of "Nine Transformations of Fish and Dragon," coupled with the accumulation of massive resources, his talent finally crossed the threshold of genius and entered the ranks of the unparalleled.
This feeling of transformation is extremely mysterious. It's as if at this moment, everything in the world becomes clear and transparent in his eyes. The martial arts barriers that were once obscure and difficult to understand now seem as simple as reading lines on the palm of his hand.
With the support of this unparalleled talent, and the tiny bit of help from the Source Point, his martial arts progressed by leaps and bounds.
"The Flowing Light and Illusory Dust Sword" breaks the limits!
Giant Spirit Mountain-Carrying Fist, Breaking Limits!
Even the extremely powerful and yang-oriented "Burning Heaven Crimson Emperor Fist" was mastered by him in one go.
At this moment, he only needed to exert a little force, and crimson light would burst out from every pore of his body. The surrounding air was violently distorted due to the high temperature, and a crimson imperial figure could be faintly seen floating behind him.
"That's what a man with superhuman abilities should be like."
Looking at the impressive data on the panel, Wang Dao muttered to himself with satisfaction.
What surprised him even more was that as his swordsmanship and fist techniques both broke through their limits, his understanding of these two great paths also rose accordingly, directly breaking through the bottleneck and advancing to level 2.
On the panel, two rows of brand-new special effects gleamed.
【Kendo Lv2 Special Effect: Concealed Edge】—The sword energy returns to its sheath, the sharpness is concealed in the heart, one can hear the wind, discern the aura, and perceive the killing intent.
Wang Dao closed his eyes slightly, and in an instant, the previously noisy sound of the wind around him changed.
The suppressed anger of Liu Ruyan below, the veiled spying in the distant void, and even the faint malice lurking in the darkness were all as clear to him as candlelight in the night.
"Concealing one's edge... What a brilliant insight into the killing intent."
A cold smile curled at the corner of Wang Dao's mouth.
"Those rats in the Hall of Rebirth, if they ever think they can hide in the shadows and deliver a fatal blow to me again, they've miscalculated."
His attention then shifted to another special effect.
【Fist of Fury Lv2 Special Effect: Thunder】—Bones and muscles resonate, internal organs boom like war drums, and wherever the fist strikes, thunderous sounds amplify the fist technique.
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
Wang Dao simply clenched his fist, and his heart began to pound violently. The powerful throbbing sound was just like the beating of a war drum, causing his chest to resonate and emit a deep, thunderous sound.
This was not the sound of thunder from the outside world, but a roar originating from the essence of his life, a manifestation of his physical body reaching its ultimate strength.
With the support of this thunderous sound, he felt that even a casual punch he threw could be imbued with the power of heaven and earth, its power increasing by more than one level compared to before.
"Now I should be able to give those so-called peerless geniuses a big surprise, right?"
Wang Dao looked down at the purple figure enveloped in dazzling rosy light, his eyes burning with a fierce fighting spirit.
After a long while, purple energy emanated from Liu Ruyan's body, indicating that she had clearly adjusted herself to her peak condition.
She looked up at the lazy figure, a hint of coldness flashing in her beautiful eyes. Then, she moved, transforming into a purple rainbow and rushing upwards.
Once she reaches the 259th floor, she will show this little thief from the Unborn Heaven what the wrath of a lady from a noble family is like!
However, the moment she stepped onto the stairs, before even the Heavenly Pride Mark that should have manifested had fully formed, the void above her head suddenly went dark.
There was no prelude whatsoever, nor any trace of expert demeanor.
A massive iron fist, as large as a sandbag, accompanied by a deep, thunderous roar, crashed down.
That punch was too fast, too fierce, and too insidious!
"You little thief! You have no sportsmanship!"
Liu Ruyan paled, completely unprepared for this bastard's sneak attack before the Heavenly Pride Mark even appeared; he was utterly shameless.
In the nick of time, she didn't have time to draw her sword and could only instinctively summon a protective treasure.
"Buzz!"
A small jade shield, shimmering with seven-colored divine light, appeared out of thin air, instantly expanding to become an indestructible light barrier in front of him.
"clang--!"
The fist slammed into the jade shield, producing a deafening roar.
The terrifying recoil surged like a tidal wave, and Liu Ruyan felt her blood and qi churning. She was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, and was blasted back to the 258th floor from the edge of the threshold by this punch.
Wang Dao stood on high ground, shaking his slightly numb wrist, his gaze fixed on the jade shield in Liu Ruyan's hand, his eyes gleaming:
"Tsk tsk tsk, Fairy Liu is indeed a rich woman. This tortoise shell is quite hard. She even has such a defensive treasure."
Seeing Wang Dao's shameless, self-satisfied expression, Liu Ruyan's chest heaved with anger, and she gritted her teeth, saying:
"You little thief from Wushengtian! You owe me a debt of gratitude for being allowed into this precious place, and not only are you ungrateful, you shamelessly attack your benefactor! Have you lost your conscience?!"
Don't give me that!
Wang Dao picked at his ear, looking disdainful: "Back in the Ten Thousand Mountains, who tricked me first? This is called reciprocity. I'm being generous by not charging you interest."
Liu Ruyan took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart.
She knew that this bastard had a thick skin, and trying to reason with him was a waste of breath.
Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and a wisp of spiritual energy quietly probed into the white jade steps beneath her feet, secretly communicating with the spirit of this supreme treasure.
"I want to challenge this opponent to a duel! I'll suppress this arrogant bastard first, then continue my ascent!"
The white jade staircase seemed to tremble slightly, and a grand yet indifferent thought echoed in her mind, vaguely carrying a strange meaning:
"Challenger Liu Ruyan, are you sure you want to forgo the regular trials and start a same-level arena battle?"
Blinded by rage, Liu Ruyan couldn't hear the subtle admonition behind the voice and coldly replied, "Absolutely! Absolutely certain!"
"As you wish."
The next moment, a grand and boundless voice resounded throughout the entire white jade celestial staircase space.
"Challenger Liu Ruyan requests to start the arena battle, target: Silver Masked Thief."
Coordinates: Floor 259.
"Silver-masked thief, do you accept?"
This sudden change startled Wang Dao. He stared wide-eyed at the changing steps beneath his feet, feeling no fear whatsoever, but rather a surge of ecstatic joy.
"Holy crap, you can do that? This white jade staircase is pretty user-friendly!"
"But who is this silver-masked thief?" Wang Dao thought to himself with a dark face, thinking to himself, "Does this guy from the White Jade Heavenly Rank really curse people like this?"
"Accept! We must accept! Anyone who doesn't accept is a coward!" Wang Dao roared impatiently.
As soon as they finished speaking, the space beneath their feet instantly stretched and reorganized, transforming the narrow staircase into a vast white jade arena in the blink of an eye. Transparent barriers rose around the arena, completely isolating them from external interference.
Holding a gleaming, cold spirit sword, Liu Ruyan stood gracefully on the other side of the arena, a cold smile playing on her lips.
"You little thief from Wusheng Heaven, let's see where you run now!"
"Die, you little brat!"
Before she finished speaking, she flicked her spirit sword, and purple energy filled the sky, transforming into countless sword shadows that swept towards Wang Dao like a storm.
Wang Dao stood still, facing this overwhelming offensive, and instead of retreating, he advanced.
"Well done!"
