A Martial Saint in Chaotic Times: Starting with Grinding Proficiency

Chapter 100 is not a secret technique

When Duan Fei pushed the Ape Demon Transformation to its limit, his body swelled up, veins bulged, and he exuded a ferocious aura like that of an ancient beast.

The raindrops hit his bronze skin, instantly creating a white mist.

At this moment, Duan Fei was nearly two meters tall, and the invisible pressure he exuded made everyone around him feel palpitations.

Not far away, Xue Min led the patrol battalion soldiers to repel another wave of bandits' attacks. "Is this Duan Fei's true strength?"

Xue Min wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, looked at Duan Fei, and a look of shock flashed in her eyes.

She considered herself a prodigy, capable of challenging the Marrow Cleansing Realm with her Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Changing Technique), but now it seems she was nothing more than a frog in a well.

Let alone challenge him, she probably wouldn't even be able to withstand a single move from Duan Fei at this moment.

"Zhou Yuan, are you satisfied with my secret technique?"

Duan Fei's voice became rough and hoarse, each word sounding as if squeezed out from the depths of his throat, with a metallic, abrasive quality.

He is very confident.

Zhou Yuan has a secret technique, and so does he.

Zhou Yuan gazed at Duan Fei's mountain-like figure, his eyes remaining calm.

He looked up at the sky; the dark clouds were growing thicker and thicker, and muffled thunder rumbled through the clouds, brewing an even bigger downpour.

Can't delay any longer.

He murmured to himself, his nonchalant attitude suggesting that Duan Fei's transformation was nothing more than an insignificant circus act.

This calm completely enraged Duan Fei.

"You're asking for death!" Duan Fei roared, and the bluestone slab beneath his feet shattered.

His massive body rose from the ground, blocking out the dim light and casting a huge shadow, giving people an overwhelming sense of oppression.

"Kid, you're too arrogant! Do you really think no one can handle you?!"

Duan Fei was in mid-air when his fist, as big as an iron bowl, came crashing down with a fierce wind that tore through the air.

Compared to him, Zhou Yuan's thin figure seemed so insignificant.

"Noisy."

Zhou Yuan remained unhurried, simply replying with two words.

Madness!

Upon hearing this, Duan Fei felt a surge of anger rising in his chest. He had anticipated Zhou Yuan's panicked reaction, but he never expected such a nonchalant response.

This feeling of being completely ignored amplified his already violent aura even further.

"I want you dead!"

Duan Fei roared, and his falling speed increased by another three points.

Zhou Yuan's expression hardened slightly.

This technique is indeed quite effective; its power and speed are significantly greater than before.

But that's it.

In terms of pure strength, he fears no one.

Zhou Yuan pushed the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill to its limit, advancing instead of retreating, and met the attack head-on with the Mountain Shaking Fist.

Bang bang bang!

A series of muffled sonic booms echoed through the rain.

In just a few breaths, the two had already collided more than ten times.

Each collision generated a visible shockwave, scattering the mixture of water and blood on the ground.

Having activated his Ape Demon Transformation, Duan Fei indeed possessed the qualifications to confront Zhou Yuan head-on.

Bang!

It was another earth-shattering exchange of punches.

The two figures appeared briefly and then separated.

Duan Fei's mountain-like body staggered backward more than a dozen steps, each step leaving a deep pit in the hard bluestone ground.

In contrast, Zhou Yuan only swayed slightly.

How is that possible!

Even after activating the Ape Demon Transformation, it was still suppressed!

A storm raged within Duan Fei, and his previously unwavering confidence began to crack.

"If this is all the strength you have, then you might as well die."

Zhou Yuan's cold voice rang out, and his figure suddenly accelerated, rushing towards Duan Fei once again.

Duan Fei's expression turned solemn, no longer showing the slightest contempt.

I refuse to believe that your secret skill will last forever!

He steeled his resolve and roared as he charged forward.

For a moment, the dull thuds of fists hitting flesh echoed throughout the square.

There are no fancy martial arts techniques here, only the most primitive and savage clash of forces.

In the shadows, the five members of the Dark Abyss watched the battle unfold, their faces ashen.

Fortunately.

Only those two words remained in their minds. Fortunately, they didn't act rashly.

"This Zhou Yuan—he's a monster." A shorter man's voice trembled. "Rumor had it his strength was only two or three thousand jin, but now it seems it's more than doubled!"

"With Zhou Yuan's current combat strength, we are no match for him," a soft female voice rang out. "However, returning empty-handed would likely delay Mr. Yi's important business."

Upon hearing this, the group remained silent, clearly acknowledging the woman's words. They then looked at the elderly man at the head of the group. Mr. Yi was unpredictable; if they returned like this, who knew what awaited them?

The old man didn't speak, but instead shifted his gaze from Zhou Yuan to the distant, barely breathing, semi-conscious patrol inspector Lü Chong.

"That man's name is Lü Chong, right?"

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Yuan and Duan Fei had exchanged dozens of blows.

The confidence on Duan Fei's face had vanished, replaced by horror and fear.

He discovered that even after using the Ape Demon Transformation to increase his strength and defense several times over in a short period of time, he could only barely hold his own against Zhou Yuan.

As time went by, he could clearly feel that the power brought by the secret technique was receding like a tide.

On the other hand, Zhou Yuan's terrifying strength seemed inexhaustible, showing no signs of diminishing.

Those furious punches gave him no chance to breathe.

Bang!

Zhou Yuan seized an opening and delivered a powerful elbow strike to Duan Fei's chin.

Click!

With a cracking sound, Duan Fei's teeth sprayed out mixed with blood, and his massive body staggered.

It's now!

A murderous glint flashed in Zhou Yuan's eyes, and his Mountain-Shaking Fist aimed straight for Duan Fei's vital waist.

"not good!"

Zhao Qingfeng, who had been watching the battle from the sidelines, had a drastic change in expression. He had expected Duan Fei to lose, but he hadn't anticipated it would be so swift!

Without further hesitation, he flashed and appeared in front of Duan Fei, grabbing his arm and narrowly avoiding Zhou Yuan's powerful and deadly attack.

At that moment, Duan Fei's Ape Demon Transformation expired, and his swollen body shrank rapidly like a deflated balloon, returning to its original state.

"Boss—" Duan Fei had barely opened his mouth when he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his aura extremely weak. "This kid is strange—he's using—not a secret technique!"

After saying this, he felt a tightness in his chest, and blood spurted onto the ground.

It's not a secret technique!

These four words struck Zhao Qingfeng's heart like a heavy hammer.

He could tell without Duan Fei's prompting. Zhou Yuan's vital energy remained steady and abundant, showing no signs of decline.

There is absolutely no secret technique in this world that can last for so long!

Zhao Qingfeng's heart sank to the bottom.

He finally realized that Zhou Yuan's inexhaustible power was not some kind of secret technique at all!

This realization shattered all his confidence and fighting spirit.

At this moment, he was no longer thinking about how to win, but how to lead the brothers of Qinglong Village to survive!

Thinking of this, he roared towards the exit, "Master Du, how long are you going to keep watching!"
