The weakest martial artist? One punch and he's leveled up a whole realm!

The old man smiled.

It wasn't a loud laugh, but a soft laugh, like the wind blowing through the leaves.

"There is no stronger punch, only a more suitable punch."

He stood up and turned to face Ye Xiao.

The old man's right arm was still dripping blood, but his body stood straight, like a sword stuck in a cliff.

"The trial is over, and you have passed."

Ye Xiao also stood up.

His arm was still sore, but he stood up straight.

"But I haven't yet grasped the essence of boxing," Ye Xiao said.

"You do," the old man said, "but you haven't woken up yet."

He raised his left hand and touched Ye Xiao's forehead.

"From this day forward, your fists have a soul!"

Golden light flowed from the old man's fingertips into Ye Xiao's forehead.

Like a river, like a beam of light, like a seed falling into the soil.

Ye Xiao closed his eyes.

He felt something awakening within him—not strength, not speed, not anything he was familiar with.

It's a new feeling!

It's like having an extra heart next to a heart, or an extra fist inside a fist.

A fist intent that he had never understood or felt before.

It was flowing freely through his body!

The nameless legacy from 100,000 years ago has finally found an heir at this moment!

He opened his eyes.

The old man is gone.

The solitary peak has vanished, the sea of ​​clouds has disappeared.

He stood on the stone bridge, facing the scorched earth on the opposite bank of the lava river.

In the distance, a volcano was erupting, and a dark red light shone on his face.

He looked down at his fist.

The gold on his knuckles was brighter than before; it wasn't a faint glow, but a real, flame-like golden light!

He clenched his fist, and his bones made a dull thud, like metal clashing.

Something inside my body has changed.

It's not that the power has increased, it's something deeper!

Like a seed sprouting in the soil, like a door being pushed open.

He could feel that new power flowing through his body, from his heart to his fist, and from his fist to his whole body.

At that moment, the system's voice rang in his mind.

[Ye Zhenghe's Fist Intent Resonance: Unlocks the special passive skill [Zhenghe's Ambition], increasing defense by 50% in the Crimson Abyss.]

Ye Xiao looked on in surprise and delight after passing the Martial God Trial.

The final settlement screen.

The contents of the settlement amazed him.

"The key to this reward is that I've mastered a new fist technique—the Fist of Protection!"

"Furthermore, the Fist of Guardian grants me a special passive ability: Fist Intent Protects My Body!"

"Using the power of my fists as a shield, I can withstand a fatal attack every two hours!"

After Ye Xiao finished reciting this line of information.

A smile appeared on his lips.

"In other words, even if I encounter a superhuman, I'm guaranteed to withstand one of their attacks!"

Besides.

Ye Xiao also noticed that he received a 30% increase in punching power.

This will definitely boost his combat power!

It also provides a 20% damage bonus against monsters.

This means that Ye Xiao will be able to deal even more damage when fighting monsters in the future.

This can be considered a disguised enhancement of Ye Xiao's combat power against demons.

and.

The rewards for completing the Martial God Trial are very generous.

There's also a reward of 10000 martial arts points!

When Ye Xiao saw this reward.

To be honest, he was really startled!

To know.

He started practicing boxing and worked hard until he reached the 10000th level, which only earned him 10000 martial arts points as a reward.

Now that you've completed the Martial God Trial, you'll be rewarded with 10000 Martial Arts Points.

Ye Xiao immediately wished for more Martial God Trials to challenge him.

However, this is just a thought.

Ye Xiao knew that the Martial God Trial was definitely not all that simple.

Perhaps it was because the first Martial God Trial he encountered happened to be related to the Nameless Ancestor.

Or perhaps it was because he was protected by his father that the difficulty level was not too high.

But whatever the reason, Ye Xiao's success in passing the Martial God Trial on the stone bridge was mostly due to luck.

However, Ye Xiao had already felt the intensity of the Martial God Trial.

When we encounter the Trial of the Martial God again in the future.

He will choose to rely on his own strength to complete the trial honorably.

At last.

Ye Xiao looked at the two [hidden rewards] he had received.

One was the [Approval of the Nameless Ancestor], which earned him the [Extreme Martial Mark].

This is a great reward for Ye Xiao.

Because it can help him gain +100% effect when comprehending the essence of the nameless patriarch's fist.

This means that he will have the opportunity to access more of the martial arts essence of the nameless master in the future.

He can achieve faster and better cultivation.

The other one is [Ye Zhenghe's Boxing Intent Resonance].

When Ye Xiao saw this.

He fell silent, his heart filled with emotion and gratitude.

Its effect is to unlock the special passive skill [Zhenghe's Ambition], which increases Ye Xiao's defense by 50% in the Crimson Abyss.

He didn't know what his father had done.

But it's clear that everything his father did was ultimately for him.

Ye Xiao spent ten minutes reminiscing and reflecting.

It takes one minute to walk from the stone bridge to the other side.

And at this time.

Ye Xiao stopped at the shore, feeling the changes in his body.

The essence of boxing is no longer something ethereal; it is real.

Like a warm current, it flows from the heart to every part of the body, flows under the skin, and gathers in the fist.

He raised his fist, and the intent of his fist surged from the tip, forming a layer of pale golden light that enveloped his fist.

next moment

Ye Xiao punched the lava river.

"boom--!"

As the fist passed, a chasm was blasted open on the surface of the lava river, and the river water parted to both sides, revealing the rocks at the bottom of the river.

Three seconds later, the lava recoiled again.

This punch was powerful.

Deeper, wider, and longer than before.

He withdrew his fist and looked at the pale golden membrane on his knuckles.

"Is this the true essence of boxing?" he whispered. "Father, I have."

The wind blew in from the direction of the crack, carrying the smell of sulfur.

He looked up at the distant volcano.

"Father, I hope I won't let you down, and I hope your spirit can rest in peace."

Ye Xiao knelt on the ground.

He solemnly kowtowed three times towards the empty space in front of him.

These three bows were not only for his deceased father.

It is also to express gratitude for the legacy passed down by the nameless patriarch.
