Lufan has never been a reckless person, although many of his recent actions may seem impulsive to others.
However, the truth reveals that many times, what Lufan does may appear rash, but in reality, he has his own deep intentions. Often, by the time he reveals his cards, people realize that he has already calculated everything.
This challenge against Prince Yu is no different.
Originally, his plan was to consume the Transcendence Pill and break through to Fourth Rank before facing Prince Yu.
But a few days ago, the fluctuations caused by Uncle Fu's encounter with Prince Yu made him realize that it was not enough!
The strength of a Martial Arts Master, or rather Prince Yu, far exceeded his expectations. With just Fourth Rank strength, he might not even be able to withstand a single blow and could be killed outright.
He must find a way to weaken Prince Yu's power!
There are not many ways to weaken a Martial Arts Master. The most effective method is to use poison to damage their physical body.
However, the rare poisons capable of breaking through a Seventh-Rank Physical Body are beyond what Lufan can obtain.
Another way is to damage their mind.
The foundation of a Martial Arts Master's strength lies in their powerful physique and mastery over Subtle Power. Mastery over Subtle Power requires strong mental fortitude; once the mind is damaged, it inevitably reduces control over the body.
Yet, this is also the most difficult method. No matter which Martial Arts Master, their martial heart has been forged through countless trials and tribulations. It is resilient and unyielding. To break their spirit is incredibly challenging—almost impossible—even for a Grandmaster.
But strangely enough, Lufan knows that there is a kind of power that might be able to achieve this.
That is the Heavenly Tribulation Power!
Lufan has experienced several Heavenly Tribulations, and he is well aware of the overwhelming aura that descends during such events. No matter who it is, encountering that without mental preparation will lead to a significant impact; at best, their mind will be damaged, and at worst, their soul will be shattered.
Only someone like him, a freak who has long endured the rejection of heaven and earth, can treat that aura as nothing special.
Moreover, he has a premonition that this time, the Heavenly Tribulation he faces at Fourth Rank will be far more powerful than before. After all, even he feels a kind of deadly threat.
With such a powerful weapon at his disposal, it would be unreasonable not to make good use of it.
Anyone who has read a few fantasy novels knows that having a tribulation without dragging enemies along is an enormous waste!
At that moment, Lufan planned to give Prince Yu a big surprise right at the start of the battle, allowing him to fully experience the enthusiasm of a transmigrator.
Once he had a plan, everything else naturally fell into place.
However perfect the plan may be, Lufan still felt uncertain. After all, plans are dead while people are alive; who can guarantee that he would successfully trick Prince Yu? The Heavenly Tribulation has its limitations in range.
So he taunted, drank, and unleashed his power—not only to ignite his fighting spirit but also to confuse Prince Yu and close the distance between them. He was betting that his opponent wouldn’t go all out from the very first move.
Fortunately, he won that bet.
He successfully weakened Prince Yu, causing significant damage to his mind and strength while simultaneously advancing to Fourth Rank. The gap in their strengths narrowed considerably; the overwhelming advantage was no longer present.
Poor Prince Yu, who would have thought that Lufan's schemes were so deep? The fact that something like Calamity could be triggered by a Third-Rank Martial Practitioner was hard for him to believe, leading him to suffer a great loss.
Take advantage of his illness and take his life!
After finally getting a hold of Lufan, he naturally wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by. He channeled all his strength to the limit, his bones cracking loudly as he lifted the hammer and rushed forward, smashing wildly!
Banlan Hammer, crotch hammer, elbow hammer, sideways hammer, advancing hammer, Fengyun Hammer...
He moved around Prince Yu, executing various hammer techniques with ease. The hammer techniques were already known for their ferocity, and with his reckless and unorthodox approach—smashing wherever it felt right—the air was filled with Explosive Energy, creating a mist of water as if the very space was about to be shattered!
After advancing to Fourth Rank, things were indeed different. Not only had his physical strength increased several times over, but his control over that strength had also improved significantly.
Unfortunately, he still couldn't break through the constraints of his power, which left Lufan feeling somewhat regretful.
Prince Yu was impressive as well. Faced with Lufan's storm of wild hammer strikes, he relied solely on his bare hands to deftly deflect every attack, preventing the hammers from even coming close to him.
People found this scene incredibly familiar; it was just like the battle between Lufan and Li Zheng. Back then, it was a bare-handed fight against a heavy hammer that changed the skies and shocked countless spectators.
Unexpectedly, not long after, they were witnessing such a battle again, but this time it was Lufan wielding the hammer.
However, this time no one was surprised by the unarmed fighter; instead, they were still in disbelief at Lufan's performance.
Because if they weren't hallucinating, it seemed that Lufan was actually overpowering Prince Yu?
Oh my goodness, that’s Prince Yu! A Martial Arts Master! A legend of the empire! Just moments ago he had been incredibly strong; how could he suddenly be suppressed? For a moment, everyone felt as if they were in a dream.
At this point, no one remembered the so-called agreement of three moves. It was a joke; thirty moves had long since passed!
They are now concerned about whether Lufan can win!
Everyone in Qingyang City is looking forward to it, as if there is a fire burning in their chests!
Prince Yu also feels a bit stifled; the terrifying aura from earlier has harmed him more than he imagined. Not only did it reduce his strength by eighty to ninety percent in an instant, but his mental state was also damaged, leaving him with only a little over ten percent of the Subtle Power he could control.
It is even continuing to decline, forcing him to divert most of his energy to suppress his mind, lest he regress in his realm, which would truly be a cause for tears.
Because of this, for the time being, facing Lufan's offensive, he can only adopt a defensive stance. For him, a dignified Master, being suppressed to this extent is an immense humiliation. With this thought, his killing intent surges!
He has never felt such a strong desire to kill someone!
As his killing intent rises, Lufan immediately senses it and quickly becomes vigilant. He does not believe that he is truly at an advantage; it is merely because the opponent has yet to unleash their full power.
Finally, Prince Yu stabilizes his mental injuries.
"Are you done yet?"
A calm voice rings out, followed closely by a pair of jade-like hands!
Prince Yu finally stops being defensive and takes the initiative for the first time.
With this movement, it is like mountains collapsing!
Prince Yu raises both hands, one above and one below, one palm facing up and the other down, like two slowly moving giant stone millstones, rushing towards Lufan's hammers that cannot be retracted in time!
Screech!!!
A piercing sound erupted as Prince Yu's hands, fueled by the surge of his vital energy, unleashed an immense force. It was as if he were kneading dough; with each grind and rub, the Octagonal Heavy Hammer, crafted at great expense and through countless refinements by Li Zheng, was transformed before everyone's eyes into a pile of scrap metal!
The physical strength of someone at the Seventh Rank Bone Refinement Realm was truly terrifying!
Lufan felt a chill in his heart. He quickly retreated, trying to distance himself from the impending danger.
However, before he could escape far enough, he suddenly saw a blur; Prince Yu was already less than three feet away from him, throwing a punch!
The fist was smooth and glossy like jade, shimmering with a faint white light, as if it were truly forged from precious stone, devoid of any earthly presence or sound.
The speed of that fist had compressed all the air around it, making it impossible for anything to escape; it was faster than sound itself!
Fist Technique: Shattering Void and Breaking Jade Fist!
This punch could pierce gold and shatter stone!
This punch could break jade and rend the void!
This punch was unavoidable!
Danger!
