“Just get up, everyone. From today onwards, let’s work together and put more effort into cultivating. The glory of Longevity Sect ten thousand years ago will surely be restored in the future!” Ling Xiao smiled. His voice was so confident, it was as if he was merely stating a fact.

Deng Tiande rolled his eyes. He then grinned and said, “Yalin, the Saint has supreme abilities and power that’s unparalleled in this world, so I’m sure he has a good grasp of our Longevity Sect martial arts. Haven’t you had a lot of confusion recently while cultivating Lesser Titanium Punch? You should go ask the Saint for guidance.”

Deng Yalin looked like he had just woken up from a dream. He quickly turned to look at Ling Xiao and forced a smile. “Ling… I mean Saint, I haven’t always been the sharpest tool in the shed. My Lesser Titanium Punch has attained the Intermediate stage. Although I’ve grown more and more proficient in it of late, I still can’t find a way to enter the Advanced stage. Saint, your talent is unparalleled, I reckon you must have a good grasp of the Lesser Titanium Punch?”

A martial art’s cultivation was classified into four stages — Primary, Intermediate, Advanced, and Pinnacle.

Deng Yalin had a smile on his face, but the glee and joy of anticipating Ling Xiao’s failure were completely exposed from the look in his eyes. This grandfather-grandson duo was indeed cunning. Since they could not stop Ling Xiao from becoming a Saint, they had started to plot for his downfall instead.

They assumed that although Ling Xiao was talented, how much knowledge could a lowly disciple like him be exposed to when it comes to martial arts in Longevity Sect? What more, this Lesser Titanium Punch was a high-class martial art that only inner sect disciples could cultivate.

If Ling Xiao could not give them an appropriate answer, he would surely embarrass himself in front of everyone, which they could regard as having exacted their revenge too.

Ling Xiao glanced at Deng Yalin indifferently and instantly saw through his bad intentions.

“Lesser Titanium Punch is only an Onyx class superior martial art. Considering that you have only cultivated it till the Intermediate state, it proves that you truly aren’t a bright talent. I am in a good mood today, so I will give you some guidance. Why don’t you showcase your Lesser Titanium Punch for me once?”

After hearing how airy Ling Xiao said that, a flame of anger was instantly ignited in Deng Yalin’s heart. ‘Just wait till you prove to everyone you can’t answer me later. I’ll laugh at you again,’ Deng Yalin thought.

Deng Yalin contained his anger and did not say a single word. He walked straight to the middle of the square and demonstrated his Lesser Titanium Punch.

Boom!

Deng Yalin ‘s Lesser Titanium Punch was full of vigor and strength. Coupling that with his Spiritualisation Boundary cultivation, the set of punching techniques he cast had an imposing manner. It made him look as if he was a titan who had descended from heaven.

The disciples of Law Enforcement Hall applauded and praised him loudly. Amazed looks were seen on the other disciples’ faces too.

Even Ling Xiao felt that Deng Yalin did not do too badly. After all, he knew very well the origins of Lesser Titanium Punch. It was originally an Earthly level peerless martial art, Titanium Demon-Slaying Punch. Lesser Titanium Punch was just an introductory martial art of Titanium Demon-Slaying Punch, and he feared that the inheritance of Titanium Demon-Slaying Punch had been long lost.

This punching technique was very difficult to practice. So for Deng Yalin to cultivate it to Intermediate at this age, it was indeed not bad.

Yet, it was merely not bad and nothing more. After all, with Ling Xiao’s wisdom, what kind of peerless genius had he not seen?

“Saint, how was my Lesser Titanium Punch?”

Deng Yalin looked at Ling Xiao proudly after he had finished his Lesser Titanium Punch.

“Seems like you really are trash. What in the world was that? This version of yours has greatly disgraced the Lesser Titanium Punch,” Ling Xiao commented without any mercy.

Deng Yalin was furious. “If that’s the case, why don’t you give me some pointers on how the Lesser Titanium should be!” he said coldly.

Deng Yalin was full of anger and had nowhere to vent. He was waiting to see Ling Xiao embarrass himself.

Everyone also revealed looks of disbelief and felt that Ling Xiao was too arrogant. How could he speak so wildly? How was he going to get himself out of this later?

Nangong Xuan remained calm, while Deng Tiande struggled to hold back his grin. Both of them were looking at Ling Xiao.

“Look closely, this is the real Lesser Titanium Punch!”

After Ling Xiao dropped that sentence, he jumped into Longevity Square.

Mists shrouded the entire summit of Mount Longevity as strong winds blew. Ling Xiao stood on the square, his face like a crown jade and his black hair flying. His gaze was as bright as stars, and he emanated a magnificent aura.

After a short while, he moved.

Ling Xiao was seen throwing out a punch. It might have looked casual and gentle, but the clouds gathered and gushed towards him within an instant. As his fist light glittered brightly, the sounds of thunder were heard.

Rumble!

Punch after punch, Ling Xiao’s punching speed became increasingly faster. Towards the end, the whole sky was full of fist shadows that looked like lightning. The punch strength was majestic too, just like a titan. It held some elements of invincibility and a spectacular force that was capable of slaying demons.

When the wind and clouds began to change, the sun and the moon became shrouded. Ling Xiao kept punching at thin air, like a magic hammer hitting on a tank drum. The magnificence made everyone’s blood surge with vital energy, and they all revealed shocked expressions.

“There was no True Qi, yet the punches were able to convey heaven and earth. This is… This is a Pinnacle Stage Lesser Titanium Punch. How is it possible?”

Deng Yalin was utterly shocked, and his face was full of horror.

“This… kid… he really knows Lesser Titanium Punch?” Deng Tiande too wore a bitter expression on his face.

“This is not just a Pinnacle stage Lesser Titanium Punch. This is the purposeful conception of a punch technique. Hahahaha… God bless our Longevity Sect!” Nangong Xuan suddenly burst into a loud laugh with his face gleaming with excitement.

“Yes, this is not an odd phenomenon of heaven and earth. This is the power of heaven and earth. There are limits to a man’s power, but the power of heaven and earth is endless. To be able to drive the power of heaven and earth using the power of man alone means it is purposeful conception. We’ve never had someone of Pulse Unsealing Boundary gain apperception of a punch’s purposeful conception. Congratulations Sect Leader, this is a sign of great prosperity for Longevity Sect!”

Elder Wu was similarly very excited, that even his white beard was trembling.

“Purposeful… conception… Even if I have never had an apperception of purposeful conception. Even Nangong Qing, the so-called number one genius of Longevity Sect’s younger generation was just on the verge of realizing a sword’s purposeful conception. How could this kid have done it?!”

Deng Tiande had a fully perplexed expression on his face, and his eyes were full of jealousy.

Boom!

When Ling Xiao landed his final punch, that sky full of clouds gathered neatly and surged skyward before it formed a giant fist in the air. Under the rays of sunlight, it was as brilliant as gold and suddenly, it exploded and shook the horizon.

“This is the real Lesser Titanium Punch. Did you observe closely? Lesser Titanium Punch is not just about toughness. It should have elegance as its vessel, force as its soul, and toughness as its essence — the essence lies within the fist. Only by combining toughness with elegance can you transcend into the form of a ferocious titan, and gain the capability of slaying demons!” Ling Xiao said meaningfully as he walked towards Deng Yalin, whose soul had already left his vessel out of fear.

“Elegance as its vessel, force as its soul, and toughness as its essence; essence within the fist, combine toughness with elegance…” Deng Yalin’s face turned pale as he repeated what Ling Xiao said in a mumble. He looked like he had fallen into a manic state, yet his gaze glowed increasingly brighter.

“I get it now… I finally get it now!” Deng Yalin laughed loudly. He immediately stood up and started to cast the Lesser Titanium Punch. His punch strength became much more elegant, but the flow of his punches now became endless, just like the river. It seemed that his power had risen and it was not just by one level.

His Lesser Titanium Punch had reached the stage of Advanced!

Following that, Deng Yalin made a decision that surprised many people.

He took brisk steps towards Ling Xiao and threw himself on his knees.

“Saint, forgive me for being arrogant and only looking at things superficially. I have always failed to understand that no matter who think we are, there will always be people stronger than us. I admit that I should have never bullied my fellow junior disciples. Saint, you have forgone my previous ill-doings towards you and in return, you taught me the Lesser Titanium Punch instead. It made me feel nothing but extreme remorse. Saint, I promise that in the future, I will put more effort into my cultivation and aid you in bringing our Longevity Sect back to glory! ”

There was a renewed look of admiration and worship in Deng Yalin’s eyes when he looked at Ling Xiao. He sounded extremely sincere as well.

“Yalin, you… you idiot!” Deng Tiande was also dumbfounded as he pointed at Deng Yalin’s flushed face.

“Junior Brother Deng, it is invaluable for Yalin to acknowledge his wrongdoings. You should be happy for him!” Nangong Xuan smiled slightly as he said.

Deng Tiande opened his mouth but no words came out. Instead, bitterness was written all over his face.
