Everyone’s expressions suddenly tensed.

When the fists collided, a powerful force swept through the entire hall.

The combat between Body Cultivators was direct and brutal. While it lacked the flashy display of Qi Refiners, it appeared even more perilous.

At this moment, Meng Li’s figure suddenly flew backward.

Su Jingzhen, however, remained unmoved.

With just this probing punch, even though Meng Li’s cultivation was two or three levels higher, his explosive power was still inferior to Su Jingzhen’s.

The difference was clear!

However, the frontal clash wasn’t as easy for Su Jingzhen as it seemed. He also bore a considerable force of recoil. His blood and qi were churning inside, but his face remained calm.

“What? Meng Li couldn’t gain the upper hand!”

“Wow, is this the power of orthodox Body Cultivation? Such incredible explosive force!”

“When he threw that punch, his blood qi surged. I could sense his cultivation; it should only be at the early stage of the Flesh Body Spiritual Embryo, comparable to the Foundation Establishment stage. Does orthodox Body Cultivation really suppress non-orthodox Body Cultivation this much?”

Seeing Meng Li retreat a dozen steps, Feng Mingyan and his group were somewhat shocked.

“Meng Li must have been careless earlier. If he gets serious, he shouldn’t have trouble with someone of a lower level. Don’t lose hope just yet,” a young man beside Feng Mingyan reassured.

Sure enough, in the next moment, Meng Li’s blood qi surged again. His gaze towards Su Jingzhen was now filled with a hint of solemnity.

But before Meng Li could say anything, a smile appeared on Su Jingzhen’s lips.

Since it was a lesson, some commentary was necessary.

“Your blood qi seems impure, and your explosive power is lacking. If you could refine your blood qi to be more pure, your punch’s power might increase significantly.”

What Su Jingzhen said was evident to any knowledgeable observer, but his tone carried more than a hint of mockery.

This exchange, seemingly mundane, held profound implications within the world of Body Cultivation.

Su Jingzhen’s calm exterior, coupled with his precise critique, not only showcased his prowess but also subtly undermined Meng Li’s confidence.

Meng Li’s pride and resolve, now visibly shaken, revealed the psychological warfare at play.

Su Jingzhen’s experience and insight into the nuances of Body Cultivation allowed him to pinpoint weaknesses with surgical precision, turning a physical contest into a mental one.

The surrounding onlookers, from both the Evil Moon Sect and the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, felt the gravity of this confrontation. It was more than just a clash of strength; it was a demonstration of the strategic depth and the unyielding spirit of a true Body Cultivator.

As the tension in the hall grew, all eyes remained fixed on the two combatants.

This battle would set the tone for future interactions between these powerful factions, and every move, every word, carried the weight of potential alliance or enmity.

Su Jingzhen truly embodied the essence of “giving guidance” to the fullest!

As soon as he spoke, even before Meng Li could react, another two points came from Luo Yuebai. She was evidently pleased with his performance.

Meng Li remained silent, but his aura grew increasingly fierce. His face darkened, and his blood qi surged once more as he charged at Su Jingzhen like a human cannonball.

The fist, the size of a sandpot, once again aimed straight for Su Jingzhen.

Still just as direct!

“Rock Solid!”

Meng Li shouted in his heart!

Instantly, his fist turned grayish-white, as if covered in a layer of rock.

The destructive power of this punch was likely more than double that of the previous one.

“Interesting!”

Seeing Meng Li’s rock-solid fist, Su Jingzhen felt a sudden sense of gravity.

Although Meng Li might not be an orthodox Body Cultivator, his combat experience was evidently superior. Moreover, he possessed Body Cultivation combat techniques that Su Jingzhen did not have.

Su Jingzhen knew that if he were to meet this rock-solid punch with his bare fist, his hand would be crippled, regardless of his explosive power.

Without hesitation, he activated his storage bracelet, and a black brick appeared in his hand.

Immediately, a surge of blood qi from his Labor Palace acupoint poured into the black brick.

A slight smile curved Su Jingzhen’s lips.

Almost at the same moment he drew the brick, Meng Li’s punch was already in front of him.

Without any hesitation, Su Jingzhen swung the brick towards Meng Li’s fist.

“Boom!”

The outcome of this attack was even more obvious.

Even though Meng Li’s fist had been reinforced by his rock-solid technique, its hardness had increased significantly from before.

However, it was still no match for Su Jingzhen’s black brick.

Meng Li’s body flew back once more, and during this process, everyone clearly heard the cracking sound of bone breaking.

Meng Li retreated over twenty steps, nearly crashing into the main doors of the hall.

When he finally stabilized himself, his face was pale.

The right hand he had used to strike at Su Jingzhen hung limply at his side, shattered by the brick.

His rock-hard technique had been completely nullified by a single brick, and his right hand was now a bloody mess, the bones within completely crushed. His right hand was effectively crippled.

The shocking scene left both the members of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion and the Evil Moon Sect stunned, momentarily unable to react.

It wasn’t until Meng Li realized his condition and let out a scream of pain that the silence was broken.

“Ah!!”

“Friend Meng, are you alright?”

As the onlookers snapped out of their daze, a few members from the Treasure Gathering Pavilion rushed to support Meng Li.

For those from the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, they had considered the possibility of Meng Li losing, but they also believed that, given his strength, he would at least put up a long fight against Su Jingzhen.

Meng Li, despite his status as a servant, would bring some measure of embarrassment to the Evil Moon Sect if he could hold his own against their Chief Acolyte.

They never anticipated this outcome. In just two exchanges, Meng Li had been utterly defeated and left in a miserable state.

This was hard for the Treasure Gathering Pavilion members to accept.

“Friend Su, in a normal sparring match, you used a weapon and inflicted such severe injury. Is this how the Evil Moon Sect treats its guests?”

Even without inspecting closely, Feng Mingyan knew that Meng Li was almost completely crippled.

Meng Li, a valuable servant, was now ruined at Su Jingzhen’s hands, making Feng Mingyan extremely displeased.

His face was incredibly dark, and his stance suggested he was demanding an explanation from Su Jingzhen or the Evil Moon Sect.

At this moment, Su Jingzhen had already put away the black brick. He still wore a calm smile.

“I was giving some pointers to your servant at your request Daoist Feng. And this round, I intended to teach him one word that is ‘surprise!’”

“A cultivator in battle must consider all aspects. The sudden hardening of his fist did indeed catch me off guard. However, he should have also anticipated that I might have a stronger countermeasure!”

“Clearly, in terms of situational awareness and adaptability, your servant still falls short.”

At this moment, Su Jingzhen returned to his calm and composed demeanor, adopting a teaching manner as if his words were indeed lessons to be taken to heart.

“You!”

Feng Mingyan wanted to find another angle to attack, but found himself at a loss for words.

In the previous exchange, Su Jingzhen had been the one to draw a weapon first, clearly violating some unspoken rules of a fair and peaceful sparring match.

Yet, in Su Jingzhen’s narrative, it became a form of instruction.

This guy truly doesn’t play by the rules!

How shameless!

Compared to the anger of Feng Mingyan and his group, Luo Yuebai, who had been seated at the head of the hall, didn’t say anything.

However, her satisfaction with Su Jingzhen was evident through the accumulating points.
