Too many people are dying in this chaotic world? Then I'll activate the control panel!

On the bluestone-paved ground, Wang Sheng and Meng Xu stood facing each other.

The surrounding disciples also stepped back and made way, giving the two space to fight.

"Since we're going to have a friendly spar, let's stop when we've reached a point of no return. I'll be the referee. Do you have any objections?"

Li Hu glanced at Wei Yu, and seeing that she had no intention of stepping forward, he stepped forward and spoke.

"Of course I'll listen to my senior brother!"

Meng Xu smiled at Li Hu, with a hint of ingratiation.

"Thank you for your help, senior brother!"

Wang Sheng bowed to Meng Xu with clasped hands.

"Um!"

"I said, I'll stop here."

"Junior Brother Meng, Junior Brother Wang has only recently joined the sect. He should know when to stop and not make Master angry."

Li Hu said in a deep voice, emphasizing Meng Xu.

Zhao Jie has always disliked infighting among his disciples. Therefore, Lin Shu, as Zhao Jie's beloved disciple, would not take matters into his own hands to deal with Wang Sheng in order to please his master.

Upon hearing this, a hint of fear flashed in Meng Xu's eyes. If Zhao Jie discovered that he had used lethal force, he would inevitably be severely punished or even expelled from the house.

But Lin Shu made him a huge promise, and with the note on his person, Meng Xu was determined to take the plunge.

"Alright, let's begin."

"If anyone can't hold on, they can just admit defeat."

Li Hu said.

Meng Xu's smile faded, his expression turned serious, his shoulders relaxed and his elbows dropped. As he opened his fist stance, he naturally exuded an aura of power capable of splitting rocks and shattering monuments.

"With Meng Xu's above-average physical constitution, he had already mastered the Great Stele-Smashing Hand technique, but unfortunately he was unable to comprehend it to the point of minor success, generate internal strength, and achieve Ming Jin (manifested strength)."

A young man dressed in a white outfit and with long hair shook his head and said with some emotion.

"Hey, even if he hasn't reached the level of Ming Jin, with his boxing stance, dealing with a beginner would be a piece of cake."

A woman with a high nose bridge and a slightly sharp and mean appearance gave a faint smile.

"Hey, maybe it's a little different. Look!"

A man dressed in a brightly colored robe said with a hint of amusement.

I see,

Wang Sheng sat astride his horse with his back bent and his legs taut and powerful, as if firmly rooted to the ground. A standard stone pillar appeared before everyone's eyes.

Wang Sheng's stance training was extremely precise. Once he stood up, it gave people the feeling that he was a huge rock standing there, seemingly possessing an unshakeable aura.

"So, he's even entered the beginner level of the Stone Stake Technique?"

The three people who spoke just now were all martial artists with many years of experience in the Ming Jin realm, and they could see through Wang Sheng's true strength at a glance.

The three of them looked surprised.

It's important to understand that before the development of Ming Jin (manifested strength), everyone primarily aimed for the "Great Monument-Smashing Hand" technique, pursuing Ming Jin. As for stance training, it was only practiced occasionally during rest periods.

But no one expected that Wang Sheng would also be able to master stance training.

Although the Sinking Stone Stance is a basic martial art, learning another martial art is always beneficial for beginners.

In particular, the stance training makes the lower body stable, which is even more suitable when combined with the special upper body training of the Great Pillar-Smashing Hand technique.

Li Hu, Wei Yu, and the others also noticed this and their hearts stirred, but none of them said anything.

Lin Shu sensed something was wrong, but he was so focused on practicing the Great Stele-Smashing Hand that he hadn't even mastered the basic stance training.

"Junior Brother Wang, do you really think you're practicing martial arts with me? You've even started practicing stances!"

"You started learning martial arts later than me, your skill level is not as high as mine, and your strength is not as great. What makes you think you can fight me!"

Meng Xu had never paid attention to stance training, but when he saw Wang Sheng take out the sinking stone stance training, he sneered.

next moment,

Meng Xu took a half step forward, and his right fist slammed out like a heavy hammer. The wind from the fist, along with the sound of breaking through the air, went straight for Wang Sheng's chest. It was the signature move of the Great Stele-Smashing Hand, splitting the green mountain with force.

"Then do you know what it means for one plus one to be greater than two?"

Wang Sheng said indifferently, his eyes as calm as a lake. He neither dodged nor avoided the attack. He blocked the attack with his left arm and at the same time, he sank his left fist down, smashing it into the opponent's waist and ribs with a variation of the "breaking a monument into three pieces" technique.

Meng Xu never expected that after more than a year of arduous training, his full-force punch would fail to achieve any effect, not even managing to make Wang Sheng retreat half a step. Instead, he could only hurriedly deal with Wang Sheng's moves.

Peng!

Meng Xu was knocked back two steps by Wang Sheng's sneak attack on his ribs.

"You're asking for it!"

Meng's face immediately turned red.

His senior disciple was actually forced to retreat right at the start by this newcomer!

Bang bang bang!

Meng Xu charged straight at Wang Sheng like a tiger descending a mountain.

Broken stele style,

Earth-splitting type,

All sorts of moves, including the "Pushing Mountain" style, were launched at Wang Sheng in a swarm.

Wang Sheng responded calmly.

Although Meng Xu was stronger than him, his lower body was unstable, and he could only exert 60 or 70% of his strength at most.

In contrast, Wang Sheng, with his mind focused and unified, dealt with Meng Xu's attack with ease.

In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged dozens of blows, each punch delivered with fierce force, without a trace of embellishment.

They were all taught by the same teacher and practiced the same martial arts.

If both sides are evenly matched, it will be difficult to break through their moves. The only option will be a war of attrition.

"That Meng Xu is cunning enough; every move he makes is aimed at vital points!"

The man in the brightly colored robe laughed.

"He's incredibly stupid! No wonder he hasn't been able to generate any strength for so long."

The woman with a sharp, sarcastic look gave a cold laugh.

"Indeed. Junior Brother Wang hadn't even provoked him much before he went berserk, unleashing all his strength. He's probably running out of energy now!"

The man in the bright green robe said with a smile.

It was at this time that

Wang Sheng noticed that Meng Xu's attack frequency and strength were decreasing, so he immediately launched a counterattack.

"Senior Brother Meng. This is the 'Shattering the Stele' style; you didn't use enough strength just now!"

Wang Sheng lowered his waist and sat on his horse, focusing his strength and energy into a single punch.

"You're talking nonsense!"

Meng Xu roared and unleashed the same "Stone-Shattering Strike" attack.

boom!

In the collision of these punches

Meng Xu cried out in pain as his hand was instantly shattered and rendered powerless, turning into a chicken claw.

Although Wang Sheng was also in pain, he had preserved most of his strength and felt even more determined to fight.

"Senior Brother Meng, your Earth-Splitting Stance is even more inadequate; your lower body is too weak."

Wang Sheng said, kicking Meng Xu wide open in the middle.

"You lowly soul, what right do you have to lecture me!"

Meng Xu roared in anger.

He was the senior apprentice, yet this newcomer treated him like a disciple, lecturing him.

This is practically a slap in the face to him in front of everyone, a slap in the face for his lack of skill and his incompetence.

"This is the true 'mountain-pushing' style!"

Wang Sheng had already seized the opportunity when his opponent's center was wide open, closing in and striking his ribs with a powerful elbow.

Click!

Meng Xu's face contorted in pain, and he let out a miserable scream.

Then Wang Shenglian threw him hard from behind, and he fell straight down.

"Junior Brother Wang, you!"

Li Hu wasn't worried about Meng Xu getting hurt, but he really didn't expect that Meng Xu, a senior disciple, would be so easily defeated and taught a lesson by his new junior brother!

The other formal disciples, including Wei Yu, all looked at Wang Sheng with newfound seriousness.

Originally, most of them didn't take this junior brother, who had barely entered the sect, seriously, and even disapproved of him, thinking that Wang Sheng was just there to make up the numbers.

But now, Wang Sheng's ruthlessness compels them to show him a degree of respect.

Lin Shu's gaze was cold and his face was ugly as he turned and walked into the inner courtyard.

call!

Wang Sheng exhaled, looked at Meng Xu curled up like a shrimp, and his gaze was somewhat regretful.

That's the worst that can happen.

There's no chance to make a move now.

However, this actual combat not only demonstrated respect, but also gave Wang Sheng a deeper understanding of the Great Monument Smashing Hand technique, and his progress value immediately exceeded 100, reaching the entry level (118/300).

It seems that, in addition to taking medicine, actual combat can also accelerate the progress of martial arts.

However, there are risks involved in actual combat.

If Wang Sheng loses this time, Meng Xu will either cripple his manhood or cripple one of his arms or legs.

If Meng Xu's treatment is inadequate, he may become paralyzed.
