In this chaotic world of martial arts, I'll become a god by adding skill points!

Chapter 112 Slap in the Face

Another month has passed. [Destiny ascends to godhood! One proof, eternal proof]

[Host: Wang Anping]

Age: 18

[Xingyiquan 1893/10000 Embracing the Elixir]

【Five Animal Frolics 4689/5000 Transformation Strength】

[Formless Skill 1320/5000 Transformation Strength]

[Realm: Embracing the Elixir]

Wang Anping practiced diligently every month, and ten days ago, he finally broke through to the Baodan level in Xingyi Quan!

Not only that!

The moment he broke through to the Baodan level, his Xingyi Quan underwent a transformation!

[Xingyi Quan has reached a divine level, through a special effect: Xingyi Five Elements Fist: one can initially control the Five Elements!]

When he saw this, he almost jumped up in excitement.

The Five Elements! The same Five Elements as the Five Animal Frolics!

This means that he has elevated Xingyi Quan, which was originally just a mediocre martial art, to a superior martial art.

He is now looking forward to what it will be like when his Five Animal Frolics or Formless Skill reaches the level of divine mastery.

At dawn, he finished his routine breathing exercises and felt the tangible, slowly rotating dantian within his dantian.

And the new energy flowing through his meridians, subtly carrying the attributes of the five elements, instantly filled him with a sense of pride.

After a quick wash, he went out to the Transmission Hall, as Elder Zhou was giving a sermon today, and he didn't want to miss it.

Just as I reached the bluestone plaza on the mountainside leading to the Chuan Gong Hall, I was stopped at the intersection ahead.

The leader was Li Fei, whose confinement period had ended. He stood with his arms crossed, his face filled with undisguised ferocity and a cold smile.

Beside him, besides a few familiar faces, stood Lin Yunshu.

Lin Yunshu's gaze toward Wang Anping was filled with resentment and an almost twisted sense of pleasure, as if she could already see Wang Anping's miserable end.

"Hey, isn't this our genius junior brother Wang?"

Li Fei spoke in a sarcastic tone, his voice not quiet, which immediately attracted the attention of many disciples passing by in the square: "I heard you've been making quite a splash lately, even Elder Zhou is looking at you differently."

Wow, that's truly remarkable.

Wang Anping stopped and looked at them calmly without saying a word.

Seeing his calm demeanor, Li Fei's anger flared even more, and he pulled out a document bearing the seal of the Hall of Affairs from his robes.

He shook the cloth in front of Wang Anping and said, "Junior Brother Wang, I have been in seclusion for two months and have gained some insights. I would like to find fellow disciples to exchange ideas and verify my understanding."

Just then I thought of you, junior brother, you are exceptionally talented and a worthy opponent.

As such, we have already applied to the Hall of Affairs for a sparring challenge in accordance with the sect rules, and the Hall of Affairs has approved it.

The time is noon today, and the location is the martial arts arena.

Junior brother, you're not afraid to accept it, are you?

According to the rules of Piaomiao Peak, if disciples have irreconcilable conflicts or simply wish to spar, they may apply to the Hall of Affairs for a sparring challenge.

Once approved, both parties will fight at a designated time and place, stopping when the point is reached, and intentional injury or death is strictly prohibited. This is considered a relatively standardized way to resolve disputes.

Lin Yunshu chimed in, her voice laced with sarcasm: "Senior Brother Wang, Senior Brother Li is kindly giving you pointers; it's a rare opportunity. Are you perhaps afraid and trying to avoid it?"

That would truly be a disgrace to Elder Zhou's guidance and would also make everyone look down on the courage of our newly recruited disciples.

A group of disciples gradually gathered around to watch the spectacle, and they began to discuss it amongst themselves.

Many people know about the past conflict between Li Fei and Wang Anping, and have also heard that Elder Zhou values ​​Wang Anping.

Seeing Li Fei blocking the door with a formal challenge letter, it was clear that he had come prepared to avenge the humiliation of that day.

Many people were worried for Wang Anping, as Li Fei was, after all, a veteran of the Core Formation Realm, and his strength should not be underestimated.

Wang Anping's gaze swept over the stamped challenge letter, then he looked at Li Fei and Lin Yunshu's confident faces, and he understood.

It seems that the two months of confinement have not only failed to curb Li Fei's resentment, but have actually deepened it.

It was only because of Lin Yunshu's instigation that this whole thing happened.

Is he trying to use the guise of a friendly competition to publicly humiliate me and regain my dignity?

He originally didn't want to pay attention to these clowns, but since they had come to his door with official documents, he could no longer avoid them.

Avoiding the issue altogether will only make you appear cowardly and will also cause some fellow disciples who are unaware of the truth to look down on you.

Moreover, he had just broken through to the Core Formation stage and was looking for someone to test the power of his Xingyi Quan, which had just begun to control the Five Elements.

"Since Senior Brother Li is so hospitable, and the Hall of Affairs has approved it, I, your junior brother, will certainly accompany you."

Wang Anping spoke calmly, his voice not loud, but clearly carrying throughout the square: "The martial arts arena at noon, see you there."

Seeing how readily he agreed, Li Fei was taken aback for a moment, then grinned maliciously: "Good! You've got guts!"

"Then let's meet at noon. I hope Junior Brother Wang will still be this calm then!"

Having said that, he arrogantly turned and left with Lin Yunshu and the others.

The disciples watching immediately began to murmur even louder.

"Junior Brother Wang actually accepted? Li Fei is at the peak of the early stage of the Core Formation realm, and it's said he's not far from the middle stage!"

"Junior Brother Wang, how long have you been a disciple? Even with exceptional talent, I'm afraid you're already—"

"I heard Elder Zhou values ​​him highly; perhaps he has some hidden trump card?"

"It's hard to say. Li Fei has a wealth of practical experience, while Junior Brother Wang is still young."

Wang Anping ignored the surrounding discussions and continued walking towards the Chuan Gong Hall, his heart at peace.

Noon? Perfect, let's use them to test our skills and settle this trouble once and for all.

As noon approached, many disciples who had heard the news had already gathered around the martial arts arena.

It's not unusual for inner disciples to spar, but the fact that it involves the rising star Wang Anping and the veteran Dan-level cultivator Li Fei, along with their past grudges, naturally attracts attention.

Han Li and Shen Qingshu also arrived, standing on the other side with solemn expressions.

Li Fei was already waiting on the stage, arms crossed and head held high, exuding an imposing aura, making no attempt to conceal the pressure of the early stage of the Core Formation Realm.

Lin Yunshu stood in the front row below the stage, her face filled with barely suppressed excitement and malice.

Wang Anping arrived on time, dressed in a blue robe, walking with a composed demeanor.

As if he were just taking a stroll, he lightly leaped onto the ring.

After confirming the identities of both parties, the supervising disciple reiterated the rules of the sparring match and announced its commencement.

"Junior Brother Wang, please! Let your senior brother see just how capable you really are, this genius that Elder Zhou values ​​so highly!"

Li Fei roared and took the initiative, pouncing out like a tiger! He practiced a powerful fist technique called the Mountain-Splitting Fist, and now he was using it with all his might, the wind from his fist whistling and his energy surging.

It seemed to be able to split rocks and open mountains, its momentum was astonishing!

With a single punch aimed straight at Wang Anping's face, he clearly intended to finish the fight quickly and crush him with overwhelming power.

Faced with this fierce attack, Wang Anping did not retreat but advanced.

With a subtle shift in footwork, his movements appeared slow but were actually swift, allowing him to sidestep the punch in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, he made a fist with his right hand and simply used Xingyi Bengquan to meet the attack!

This punch, seemingly simple and unadorned.

But at the moment he threw the punch, Wang Anping's mind stirred slightly.

He subtly integrated the power of the Five Elements into his strength, having initially grasped their essence. He chose the sharp, penetrating power of the Metal element!

"clang!"

The two fists collided, producing a crisp sound like metal striking metal!

Li Fei felt an incomparably sharp force, with a metallic edge, easily tear through his protective aura.

It pierced into his fist with unstoppable force, rushing straight up along the meridians of his arm!

His entire right arm instantly felt numb and painful, and the powerful punch he had gathered was completely dissipated in one blow!

"What?!" Li Fei was horrified and staggered backward, staring incredulously at his slightly trembling right fist.

The opponent's strength didn't seem particularly overwhelming, but the nature of that force was extremely strange and domineering!

A gasp rippled through the audience. No one had expected that in their first direct confrontation, Li Fei would be the one to suffer a loss!
