C50 Again!
"Come on! One more time!" Wu Hui charged towards Wu Zejun for the third time.
Seeing Wu Hui rushing over and over again, Wu Zejun's face became even gloomier, as a trace of ruthlessness flashed past his eyes. “Wu Hui, do you really think you can compare yourself to me? I will show you my true strength now."
Wu Zejun slowly raised one of his hands and curled his fingers into a fist. He only extended his index finger and a dot of golden light appeared on it. A layer of sweat had already appeared on Wu Zejun's forehead. Without bothering to wipe it off, Wu Zejun gathered all his Martial qi to his finger. As the golden light grew brighter and brighter, Wu Zejun narrowed his eyes and made up his mind. Without hesitating anymore, he pointed out his finger and struck towards Wu Hui's chest.
"Gold Sun Finger! Wu Zejun was using the Gold Sun Finger! He had actually acquired it!" Some of the crowd who recognized this martial skill could not help but get shocked. They looked at the dot of golden light shining upon Wu Zejun’s finger with a face full of astonishment.
Wu Hua's expression changed, revealing a look of shock as well. "Gold Sun Finger, an advanced martial skill of Yellow Grade. It is extremely famous among all the Yellow Grade Martial Skills. By converging the metal Martial qi within one’s body to the very point on the finger, then through the finger gigantic power can be unleashed. I have never thought that Wu Zejun would actually be able to successfully acquire it with his cultivation at Five-star of Profound Grade. Normally, only those who are at Nine-star of Profound Grade or even at Earth Grade will cultivate this super-difficult martial skill, because it requires the cultivator to be extremely adept in his or her ability to control Marital qi. The better you are, the more powerful it will get. Judging from the look of Wu Zejun, he had basically mastered the Level One of the Gold Sun Finger. Though it’s just Level One, it is still more powerful than the Level Two Golden Sword Palm.”
Wu Hui also saw the golden light on Wu Zejun's finger. Although he did not know what martial skill it was, but he could feel that the power was somewhat stronger than the Golden Sword Palm he used earlier. He also knew that Wu Zejun was now playing his trump card and revealing his greatest strength. But there was no fear in Wu Hui's heart, a heroic pride was born instead.
"Alright, let's see how you live up to the name of ‘genius of the clan’." Without any more hesitation, Wu Hui flipped his palm, and a hint of red light appeared.
"Flame Palm!"
With a light shout, the aura on Wu Hui's body suddenly changed. A wave of scorching heat surged out in the surroundings, and in front of the dumbstruck crowd, a palm struck onto Wu Zejun's finger.
"Fire, fire, fire! did you see that? Fire in Wu Hui's palm!"
"What... what's going on? What martial skill is Wu Hui using? Isn't he a wood attribute physique? "
"It's fire! Wu Hui is using the Fire Martial Skill! It is the most powerful of all martial skills!"
...
"Fire Martial Skill? Does it mean that there is Fire Martial Qi in Wu Hui’s body and his physique is of fire attribute?”
...
When the surrounding people saw the trace of red light in Wu Hui's palm, a huge commotion immediately erupted. What it meant to use a Fire Martial Skill, everybody knew.
Fire Martial Skill, Fire Attribute, Pill Master. Things related to fire were very rare. Wu Hui originally had a wood attribute physique, but now he was able to use the Fire Martial Skill. He must be quite lucky to have activated the fire attribute and became a pill master when breaking through the grade.
Thinking of this, the surrounding crowd seemed to come to a sudden realization. No wonder why the clan would suddenly pay so much attention to Wu Hui after he broke through to the Profound Grade. Being able to activate the fire attribute was originally a sign of a lucky genius. And Wu Hui, this lucky genius, had used his own true strength to become a true genius of the Wu Family.
In the crowd, when Wu Kai and Wu Yong saw the red in Wu Hui’s palm, their faces turned pale and bloodless. They also knew what this meant. It’s not just that they were not as the same high level as Wu Hui’s, it’s also that Wu Hui had way surpassed the level of those genius disciples of the clan. A pill master, the most respected occupation on the Martial Qi Continent, had never appeared in the Wu Family for the past hundreds of years. The pill master of a clan was as important as the clan elders. That’s why he had the power to distribute the pills this time.
At this time, Wu Hua's face was similarly pale, and the way he looked at Wu Hui appeared to be extremely envious and jealous. He had thought about many of the reasons why Wu Hui had received so much attention from the clan - it was because he was Wu Haiya’s son, the young Patriarch, or he was the grandson of Wu Qingfeng, the innate expert, or his breaking through to the Profound Grade made the clan believe that he had his talents back after seven years. But he had never thought of the possibility that Wu Hui could activate the fire attribute. The possibility was as small as one out of ten thousand. No, even smaller than that. How could Wu Hui have such a luck, a luck which would even drive others crazy? Now Wu Hua had finally understood why the Third Elder scolded him when he complained about the pills. Not to mention himself, even Wu Zeguo, the true genius of the young generation, who had reached the One-star of Earth Grade at the age of twenty, could not easily offend Wu Hui now.
In the training field, when Wu Zejun saw the red light in Wu Hui's palm, the nearly deranged Wu Zejun was suddenly shocked and regained his sense of reason for a moment. He suddenly remembered Wu Hui's current status. However, there was no time to regret now. Wu Zejun knew clearly in his heart - after knowing that Wu Hui had activated the fire attribute, he did his best not to have a problem with Wu Hui. But if he were to cower back now, he would definitely be ridiculed by the other disciples of the clan. Not only did he have to fight, he had to win. He definitely could not lose to the one who was a piece of trash in his eyes.
Thinking of this, Wu Zejun's eyes flashed with a faint yellow light. He converged all of the Metal Martial qi onto his finger. All of a sudden, the yellow light burst out with all its might.
Facing Wu Zejun's attack in full strength, Wu Hui showed no fear in his expression. On the contrary, a sense of heroic pride arose in his heart. His originally delicate and handsome face turned slightly red, and traces of excitement could be seen in his eyes. A loud and clear roar could be heard across the training field. Under everyone's shocked gaze, the palm struck out, brazenly striking towards Wu Zejun's Gold Sun Finger.
Boom!
A loud sound echoed out, and dust flew into the air. Two figures shot out from the dust cloud.
Swish, swish…
The two of them retreated more than ten steps before they could stop.
They once again fought to a tie. But all of sudden, Wu Zejun's chest was heaving violently, his face ashen, a trace of blood flowing out of his mouth. He couldn't hide the shock in his eyes.
"How could this be possible? Wu Hui, how could you be so... strong!" Wu Zejun screamed out hysterically. A trace of fear finally crawled onto his face as he looked at the youth opposite him.
A trace of pleasure appeared on Wu Hui’s face. As expected, the Flame Fire Palm did not disappoint him. At the instant when their attacks collided, Wu Hui no longer felt the same kind of suppression as before.
He looked at the red imprint on his palm that was gradually disappearing. The Five Elements Arts in Wu Hui's body circulated freely by itself, recovering the Martial qi that had been used up.
Suddenly raising his head, Wu Hui curved the corners of his mouth slightly. He looked at Wu Zejun who was deranged at the moment and said indifferently: "Wu Zejun, do you still dare to boast shamelessly, and call yourself the strongest among the peers?"
"Hmph, Wu Hui, what are you boasting of? At most, you are just on par with me. Within no time I will break through to the Six-star of Profound Grade. At that time, you are still below me!" Wu Zejun's face carried a trace of malevolence, and his voice hoarsely roared.
"Is that so?" Wu Hui declined to comment, but the smile on his face became wider and wider. The Five Elements Arts in his body circulated rapidly. The Wood Martial Qi and the Fire Martial Qi were interacting with one another. "Even if you were able to break through to Six-star, you are not my match. Even right now, you are no longer on par with me anymore." A faint voice could be heard from him. Wu Hui's body once again released a strong burst of aura, it was even stronger than before. At that moment, Wu Hui broke through to Three-star.
The moment Wu Hui made the breakthrough, Wu Zejun’s pupils contracted rapidly. The original trace of fear in his eyes unceasingly grew as he looked with disbelief at Wu Hui whose aura was rising nonstop. A trace of horror crawled onto his face as even his tall body was slightly trembling.
"You broke through once again, how is that possible?" Wu Zejun's voice had already become abnormally sharp, as it echoed within the entire training field.
Other than Wu Zejun's sharp voice, the surroundings were completely silent. Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them.
The fiery head-on clash between Wu Hui and Wu Zejun just now had already made everyone to gain a new understanding of Wu Hui's strength - his cultivation at Two-star of Profound Grade was not weaker than Wu Zejun's Five-star of Profound Grade, and his ability to challenge opponents beyond his cultivation level had already shocked everyone. But now, Wu Hui had actually managed to breakthrough to the Three-star of Profound Grade again in the midst of a battle. How ridiculously fast this speed was!
In the crowd, Wu Yong and Wu Kai were looking at the fight in shock, both of them were trembling, and their faces were distorted with fear. Wu Hui's abnormal speed of cultivation enhancement had already exceeded their imagination. From being an object of ridicule in the past, to an existence that they had to look up to, it had only been one month. To them, a month's time was just like training a primary martial skill of Yellow Grade or training their Martial qi to make it more intense. If they were lucky, they would be able to break through a bottleneck. But now within just a month, Wu Hui had broken through from Nine-star of Yellow Grade to Three-star of Profound Grade, and he could even clash head-on with the “genius disciple of the clan” Wu Zejun, not losing out at all. This kind of change in strength had caused them to be unable to adapt. Therefore, they could no longer bring up the thought of going against Wu Hui anymore.
Wu Hua, who was standing by the side with a gloomy expression, now turned pale on his face when he sensed that Wu Hui had actually broken through. Although he was at the level of Seven-star of Profound Grade, he could tell that, currently, Wu Hui was much stronger than before. The reason why Wu Hua really started to fear was not only because of Wu Hui’s status as a Pill Master, but also because of his cultivation - Wu Hua was no longer confident that he could win against Wu Hui. Wu Hua thought back to the day when Wu Hui had already dared to go against him when he had just broken through to One-star of Profound Grade. Now he had broken through in his cultivation again, he would definitely no longer fear him anymore. Wu Hua had already faintly regretted his behaviors back then in his heart. Why did he pick on Wu Hui just for a pill from Wu Kai? Now not only did he have his pill qualification revoked, he had even offended a pill master.
Three-star of Profound Grade! Wu Hui broke through to Three-star of Profound Grade! A strong sense of confidence emitted from Wu Hui's body.
"One more time!" With a loud roar, Wu Hui took the initiative to charge toward Wu Zejun. A dazzling red light shone on his palm, which was even brighter than before.
