Chapter 601: Finals (Part 2)

The Supreme Mad Fist was a secret technique of the Wangjiang Sect, never passed on to outsiders. Once executed, within a short time, one's strength would instantly surge by a small level. However, after execution, one's original cultivation would also plummet.

Bi Jianghai had barely managed to break through to the Harmony Realm. If he were to lose it because of this, it would be a huge loss not only for himself but for the entire Wangjiang Sect.

After all, within the 28 territories, Harmony Realm experts were few and far between, numbering no more than a hundred.

The Wangjiang Sect had fewer than five. One more would bring immense deterrence and greatly elevate the sect's status.

Moreover, his opponent was the super genius Teacher Zhang, a renowned teacher who repeatedly broke records. If anything went wrong, how could the Wangjiang Sect face the Teacher Hall?

"Crazy, crazy, this guy is absolutely crazy!"

An elder's face turned pale, his voice dry, unable to speak.

"Can we still stop him?"

Another elder asked hopefully, but the answer he got was a shake of the head.

Once the Teacher Competition began, it could not be interrupted; otherwise, where would fairness be?

"We can only rely on Teacher Zhang himself. Hopefully, he can work another miracle!"

"Indeed, but at the early Turbid Clarity Realm, it's probably impossible to defeat a mid Harmony Realm opponent. They're not even on the same level, unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless... Teacher Zhang uses his beast pet, that Demon Dawn Beast!"

"Demon Dawn Beast? Right, why didn't I think of that? Teacher Zhang is a beast tamer, qualified to fight with a beast pet. The Demon Dawn Beast, at the Harmony Realm, could easily defeat Teacher Bi!"

"That would be simple, but would Teacher Zhang do it?"

"This..."

The one who made the suggestion fell silent.

Although this Teacher Zhang seemed carefree, when it came to this aspect, he probably wouldn't yield an inch.

Since he had agreed to the duel, he would definitely defeat his opponent with his own strength, not relying on his beast pet's power!

"Let's keep watching. Maybe a miracle will happen..."

Everyone continued watching anxiously.

The Teacher Competition emphasized fairness. Bi Jianghai challenging a lower level was already disgraceful, and now using a technique that greatly harmed himself was even more distasteful.

On the other hand, Teacher Zhang, despite being in such danger, still persisted, earning everyone's admiration.

While those on and off the stage worried, the match on the platform had reached a fever pitch.

Bi Jianghai executed the Supreme Mad Fist, his cultivation surging, his strength reaching 2.4 million ding. Every move carried immense power. His palm swept through the air, exuding an overwhelming deterrence even before it arrived.

"Well done!" Zhang Xuan showed no fear. Instead, he let out a long cry, his eyes shining with excitement, and charged forward.

Bang bang bang bang!

Qi surged, true energy roared, and the two fought fiercely, evenly matched.

"This..."

"Teacher Zhang's cultivation is increasing!"

"Early Turbid Clarity, mid, late... how long has it been?"

"Peak, he's already reached the peak of Turbid Clarity! Ten breaths? Twenty breaths? From early to peak? How is that possible?"

...

They had thought that with Bi Jianghai executing the Supreme Mad Fist, Teacher Zhang would have a hard time. They never dreamed that not only would he not be defeated immediately, but he would grow stronger, reaching from early to peak Turbid Clarity in just twenty or thirty breaths, more than doubling his cultivation!

Even seeing it with their own eyes felt like a dream.

Too terrifying!

For others, going from early to peak Turbid Clarity would take decades or even longer, but this Teacher Zhang did it in less than a minute and even consolidated his cultivation!

His speed of advancement could make countless self-proclaimed geniuses die of shame.

"Using the soul pressure of the Harmony Realm to temper himself, rapidly separating the turbid and clear, greatly advancing his cultivation—such courage and confidence, even I can't match!"

Teacher Hong also turned pale, muttering involuntarily.

With his insight, he could naturally see what had happened.

Facing a super strong Harmony Realm expert without fear, even using the opponent's power to break through his own limits—not even he, nor even Hall Master Mo Gaoyuan, could say for sure if they could do it.

He had thought that this Teacher Zhang was only outstanding in teaching, after all, with a suspected eight-star teacher guiding him day and night, it would be hard not to be impressive... Now he realized that not only was he strong in other aspects, but even in cultivation, which seemed his weakest point, he far surpassed everyone else.

There was simply no comparison.

"It seems the championship of this competition is his for the taking."

Only then did his anxious heart finally settle.

Hall Master Mo Gaoyuan had taken out a high-grade spirit stone from his own pocket to better befriend Teacher Zhang and lay the groundwork for getting to know Teacher Yang. Now it seemed he had not been disappointed.

Truly worthy of being a student of an eight-star teacher, with exceptional strength and intelligence.

Boom!

Below, some were tense, others anxious. On the stage, Zhang Xuan had entered a mysterious state.

Using the opponent's power to boost his cultivation was a spur-of-the-moment idea. He had thought it would be hard to accomplish, but not only did he succeed, the effect was perfect.

At this moment, his thick true energy surged through his meridians like thunder, and his entire aura and strength had undergone a qualitative leap.

Normally, cultivating with a medium-grade spirit stone would take about an hour to succeed. Now, in just a short time, not only had his strength reached the peak of Turbid Clarity, but more importantly, his true energy reserves were thicker, his control smoother, as if he had been immersed for months, greatly saving cultivation time.

Previously, at the peak of Yin-Yang Realm, he had 1 million ding of strength. Now it had doubled to 2 million ding!

With 2 million ding from physical true energy and 1.6 million from soul power, totaling 3.6 million, he could probably kill even a peak Harmony Realm expert with one punch.

A normal Harmony Realm expert: early stage 2 million, mid 2.4 million, late 2.8 million, peak only 3.2 million ding!

Powerful!

While he was sensing the changes in his body and enjoying the thrill of increased strength, Bi Jianghai on the opposite side was going crazy.

Under normal circumstances, using his ultimate technique to greatly boost his cultivation, crushing his opponent should have been easy.

But the more he fought, the more his heart chilled. He used all his strength, even his milk power, but his opponent seemed to be asleep, casually responding, making him miserable and unable to bear it.

"Lie down!"

With a roar, he unleashed all his remaining power.

Violent true energy surged like rivers covering all directions, instantly engulfing Zhang Xuan.

"Oh no!"

Teacher Hong and Hall Master Kang's pupils contracted.

This was no longer a simple spar; such a crazy move was a life-or-death struggle. A slight misstep could lead to one party's death and eternal damnation.

"Crazy, he's really crazy!"

The elders of the Wangjiang Sect all turned pale.

Although they hadn't personally experienced Teacher Yang's matters, they had heard some secrets and knew that this Teacher Zhang's background was not simple.

Otherwise, after destroying so many treasures and driving everyone to mental collapse, he would have been disqualified long ago. How could he still be here, continuing the competition, even making Teacher Hong frustrated and helpless?

Such a figure, and you use all your strength to try to kill him—if that's not crazy, what is?

Just as everyone was anxious and at a loss, Zhang Xuan, having finished sensing his internal changes, finally recovered. Seeing the violent power before him, he gently patted forward with his palm!

Boom!

The smoke and dust cleared. Bi Jianghai, who had used all his strength, was like a mosquito swatted by a flyswatter, flying out with a "swoosh," becoming an airborne man just like Wu Tianhao before!

"Ah?"

"What happened?"

"I don't know either. It seems Teacher Zhang just patted casually, and Teacher Bi flew away..."

Everyone was stunned.

They had seen Teacher Zhang's strength. Under normal circumstances, he should have been beaten to a pulp. But instead, he was fine, and Bi Jianghai, a Harmony Realm expert, was swatted away like a ball... What happened?

When did Teacher Zhang become so fierce?

"This..."

Seeing Teacher Bi swatted away, Zhang Xuan finally fully woke from his cultivation state. His eyes went wide, and he scratched his head, feeling like crying. He quickly explained, "I really didn't mean it..."

He had just been distracted, finishing his cultivation and then striking out. He hadn't expected that this guy, who had been so formidable before, would become so fragile in the next moment...

What was this? The previous ones were injured or knocked out, and now in the finals, the second-place contestant was swatted into the air, becoming a black dot... Would anyone believe him if he said he didn't mean it?

"Teacher Bi..."

Seeing their sect's genius flying away like a kite, the elders who had been worried earlier now breathed a sigh of relief instead of being anxious.

"Teacher Hong, everyone, it was our Wangjiang Sect's lack of discipline that nearly caused a disaster. We will take Bi Jianghai back and educate him properly. He is unworthy of second place..."

A presiding elder of the Wangjiang Sect stood up, looking ashamed.

In the Teacher Competition, everyone stopped at the point of contact. But this genius of their sect had gone straight for the kill. If Teacher Zhang hadn't broken through on the spot, he would surely have died.

Such madness had violated the competition's rules. Even if they continued, they would have no face left.

"This..."

Zhang Xuan was taken aback. What was this? If they were going to be so strict, wouldn't he have been disqualified many times already?

"Esteemed elder, you exaggerate. Teacher Bi was just provoked by me and struck a bit too hard. He didn't actually harm me. Why not let this matter drop..."

"Let it drop? Thank you, Teacher Zhang!"

Hearing him plead on their behalf, the elders of the Wangjiang Sect were so moved their faces flushed, and they bowed down together.

See that?

This is the breadth of mind of a teacher!

Bi Jianghai, in the air, wept: "Breadth of mind, I'd like that too, but the prerequisite is... being able to beat this freak..."
