Chapter 137 - 137:102
Ended with a single palm strike?
Is it really that simple?
He would not doubt that his master could suppress others with a higher realm. After all, the master had just revealed the aura of the Innate Realm.
He had thought that his master, going against a higher realm, would at least have exchanged a few blows with the black-robed man before killing him.
But instead, it ended with one strike?
Moreover, the black-robed man turned into ashes with a single palm strike!
“Is my master’s strength at the Innate Realm actually this powerful? I’m far behind.”
Xu Yan was filled with shame.
Meng Chong was so shocked that he touched his head in disbelief. Is this what the master meant by going against a higher realm?
Just one palm strike turned the enemy into ashes.
If he didn’t know better, he’d think it was a mosquito that got swatted.
Su Lingxiu was completely flabbergasted. Is an Innate Realm martial artist so powerful?
This is only the second stage of martial arts, yet a single strike turned the Great Grandmaster into ashes?
How strong is our master really?
Li Xuan was quite satisfied with his disciples’ expressions but remained calm, stating, “When 1 first reached the Innate Realm, my strength was probably at this level.
“My students, I don’t expect you to reach the same level of strength as I did at the same stage, if you can achieve 50 or 60 percent of it, 1 will be content.” Boasting without thinking, just releasing the talk.
Xu Yan was moved: “So, the reason why my master didn’t want to take me as his student is that he thought no matter how hard I practiced, I would never reach his level of strength.
“Master must have felt that if he couldn’t train a student to match or exceed him, it would be better not to have one at all.
“In the end, he accepted me as his student because he was moved by my sincerity and felt it was a predestined relationship between master and student.
“It’s precisely because he took me in that he came out into the world and decided to take on more students to pass on his martial arts.”
The more Xu Yan thought, the more ashamed he felt.
“I am too weak, 1 haven’t even reached 50 or 60 percent of the master’s strength at our stage. 1 must work hard to improve and strive to reach 50 or 60 percent of the master’s strength at the same stage!”
Xu Yan thought firmly.
“Master, 1 will definitely work hard to increase my strength!”
Xu Yan declared firmly.
Li Xuan didn’t know that his disciple had come up with this whole story of his bringing him on as a student. He casually sat down in his chair and said, “Mm, do your best, don’t be blindly persistent.”
His own strength was a hundred times that of his peers, no matter how hard his disciple tried, he would never be able to reach 50 or 60 percent of his strength.
Regardless, as his disciple’s strength increased, his own strength would also improve, always maintaining a strength a hundred times greater than that of his peers!
Xu Yan was stimulated. He also wants to go against a higher realm and beat Great Grandmasters to pulp!
Even if he can’t blow them away with one palm, he would accept being able to do so with a dozen or so strikes.
Meng Chong felt the same way, his blood rushing, he was eager to break through the Qi and Blood Realm and train in the Great Sun Golden Body.
Shocked, Su Lingxiu behaved somewhat coyly as she massaged Li Xuan’s shoulders, saying in an adorable voice, “Master, I’m sorry for putting you through trouble.”
“As long as you practice well, there’s no such thing as trouble for me.”
Li Xuan fiddled with the Jade Ruyi in his hand and said indifferently.
“Master, I want to say…”
“No need for explanations, just focus on your practice.”
Li Xuan interrupted.
He didn’t want to know what kind of trouble Su Lingxiu had gotten herself into.
If she asked him for help, should he go, or should he not?
What if there was a large group of people, dozens of Great Grandmasters ganging up on him, and he couldn’t beat them? Wouldn’t that hurt his reputation as a mysterious expert?
Even if he could, he’d have to put up a fight. Would it ruin his image as a high-ranking person?
So, he decided to play it safe..
