As Prince Yu was about to destroy most of Qingyang Academy with a single punch, an Azure Mountain Peak suddenly flew out from within Qingyang Academy. After enlarging, it directly shattered the powerful air cannonball, and then with a violent tremor, it surged forward with immense force to suppress Prince Yu!
Prince Yu's eyes narrowed sharply. Others may not have realized it, but he could see that this Azure Mountain Peak, which contained suppressive power, was clearly the manifestation of a Martial Arts Master's martial momentum. There was actually a hidden Martial Arts Master in Qingyang Academy, at least at the second level of Master, the Reality stage!
No, it was more than just Reality. To condense one's martial momentum into a tangible form and be able to project it outward to harm others with such power could only be achieved by someone who had reached the third level of martial arts, the Harmony Realm!
In an instant, Prince Yu's mind raced as he made his judgment: the one attacking him was a Martial Arts Master at the Harmony Realm!
However, this guess did not instill fear in him; instead, it ignited a strong fighting spirit within him.
Even if you are a third-level Martial Arts Master, relying solely on your martial momentum to make me retreat is far from enough!
The word "retreat" from Uncle Fu also angered Prince Yu. As the illustrious Prince Yu, a legendary figure of the empire, how could he allow himself to be sent flying by mere martial momentum? Wouldn’t that bring shame upon him in front of the world? What face would he have left?
At that moment, he stomped his foot and twisted his body. With a powerful burst of energy, the ground paved with Azure Brick instantly twisted and tore apart like a lump of dough under immense force, creating a massive crack over a foot wide and more than five zhang long!
The strong reaction force transmitted through his body to his hands, causing Prince Yu's fist to accelerate to its peak instantly. A white mist appeared on his fist, indicating that it had broken the sound barrier!
Under the astonished gazes of everyone present, this punch, which gathered all of Prince Yu's strength and carried the momentum to obliterate everything, directly struck towards the Azure Mountain Peak!
Fist Technique, Shattered Jade Breaking Void Fist!
Though it sounds complicated, everything from the emergence of the Azure Mountain Peak to Prince Yu unleashing his full power happened in an instant. The nearby Martial Cultivators, who had just been overwhelmed by Prince Yu's aura and knocked to the ground, could only display expressions of shock as they witnessed the clash between a fist and a mountain, each carrying unimaginable power.
Boom!!!
A tremendous collision echoed as if a giant hammer struck the earth. The violent force transmitted underground caused the entire ground to shake violently, sending those fallen Martial Cultivators soaring three feet into the air uncontrollably!
This was not all; when a fist collided with a mountain, it was like a comet striking the moon. The immense force created a wildly violent shockwave that rapidly spread outward, lifting everything in its path and causing destruction!
Those Martial Cultivators who had been standing nearby were in serious trouble. First, they were overwhelmed by Prince Yu's imposing presence, leaving them paralyzed on the ground. Then, the tremors from the earth sent them flying three feet into the air, and finally, they were struck directly by the ferocious shockwave, causing them to spit blood and collapse the houses behind them!
Even those Martial Cultivators who stood at a distance could not completely avoid this unforeseen disaster. Amidst the flying debris of bricks and stones, many were caught off guard and suffered severe injuries, their heads bloodied and cries echoing.
At this moment, everyone cursed the Loose Cultivator who had suggested coming to watch the battle. What was supposed to be a chance to witness the prowess of a Martial Arts Master turned out to be a life-threatening situation!
The poor Loose Cultivators of Qingyang City were merely a group of people living at the bottom of the martial arts world. They had never witnessed battles between Martial Cultivators of such high levels as Martial Arts Masters and had no idea that such fights were not meant for them to observe up close. Otherwise, being caught in the crossfire could be fatal.
Now they were paying a heavy price for their ignorance; those who had gotten too close were all severely injured, and if they survived, it was already considered fortunate.
The violent winds stirred up by the shockwave continued to rage for quite some time until dozens of breaths later, everything finally calmed down. As the dust settled, those who had taken shelter behind buildings cautiously peeked out to see what had happened at the center of the collision.
What they saw nearly made their eyes pop out!
Where Prince Yu had stood before, the once wide street had vanished completely, leaving behind only a massive shallow pit that was half a yard deep and ten yards wide!
Inside the pit lay exposed broken Azure Bricks and spiderweb-like cracks. At its center stood Prince Yu proudly; aside from some torn clothing, he was completely unharmed, while the Azure Mountain Peak had disappeared without a trace.
What kind of power was needed to destroy the ground like this? More importantly, how could such a violent collision leave Prince Yu unscathed? Just how strong was his body?
And what about that Azure Mountain Peak? Was it possible to cultivate something so extraordinary in martial arts? Countless thoughts and questions swirled in the minds of many Martial Cultivators.
"Ah? Not bad! In the first realm of Mastery, being able to withstand my Mountain-Settling Momentum, First Move, Mountain Shaking without injury—you're the first among the younger generation I've encountered!" Uncle Fu's voice came from within Qingyang Academy, seemingly surprised by Prince Yu's strength.
"I apologize for my rudeness; I didn't expect such an esteemed senior to be hidden away in little Qingyang City. I truly offended you earlier; may I ask your name?" Prince Yu said with a wry smile. Surprisingly, after blocking Uncle Fu's strike, he became more modest.
Prince Yu had no choice but to keep a low profile. He initially thought that Qingyang Academy was just a small institution and underestimated it, wanting to teach them a lesson. To his surprise, there was a Martial Arts Master within, one who was even two realms above him in the Harmony Realm.
Although he managed to take the opponent's strike, he knew in his heart that it was merely a casual move from the other side, likely not even using one-tenth of their strength. He had exerted all his effort, feeling numb in his hands just to barely withstand it.
Given such a disparity in strength, even with Prince Yu's personality, he had to set aside his pride and remain humble.
"You're quite polite. I'm here for seclusion and only happened to be here. As for my name, it's better left unsaid. I know you came here for that kid Lufan, right?"
"That's right. May I ask if you could hand over that young man?" When Prince Yu asked this question, he felt a sense of determination. If this mysterious Martial Arts Master insisted on protecting Lufan, he would turn around and leave immediately.
There was no other option; the gap in strength was too great. Prince Yu understood this very well.
Since it was impossible to force the issue, he decided to withdraw decisively without wasting any more time. As for how much impact this would have on the Silver Moon Kingdom, that was beyond his concern. After all, the worst outcome would be that his elder brother lost the throne, which wasn't a big deal in his eyes.
This was how Prince Yu thought, but what he didn't expect was the unexpected response from the other party: "Sure, but you'll have to wait a moment. Lufan is currently in closed-door training. Once he finishes, he will fight you."
Prince Yu could hardly believe his ears: "You mean he wants to fight me?"
"That's right. Once he emerges from his training, he will face you as a Fourth Rank Martial Arts Master!"
One word stirred up countless waves! (To be continued.)
