Under One Person: The Sea Emperor Who Shattered Heaven and Earth

"My name is Zhou Shu, and everyone calls me Zhou Tiedan. Brother Jiang, I thank you on behalf of the brothers at the dock."

Jiang Zhen quickly waved his hand to indicate that it was unnecessary, saying, "We are all on the same side, how can we stand by and watch these petty people bully us?"

“Since everyone agrees, then it’s settled. But the rules can’t be broken. Let Brother Jiang rest for a bit first, and then we’ll see who wants to give it a try.” Master Feng set the tone.

After greeting everyone, Jiang Zhen finally arrived at the canteen he had been longing for. He didn't have much to choose from and just asked the cook to make him a stew, along with the gang's medicinal wine. The gang's doctor was originally going to give him a massage to loosen his bones, but after trying it, Jiang Zhen felt that it was not as effective as using vibration on his own.

After applying the medicinal wine and using the vibration to deeply massage his muscles, Jiang Zhen felt his whole body finally relax. Most importantly, he was full and had eaten a lot of meat. Like a long-awaited rain after a drought, his body was quickly digesting the meat in his stomach, and the nutrients were constantly nourishing his body.

There's a saying that goes something like, "Keeping warm makes you think..." No, it's more like, "After eating, you'll feel sleepy to some extent." Luckily, the room that Master Feng arranged for him was much better than his old shack.

Jiang Zhen slept until the next morning. When he got out of bed, he felt refreshed and stretched, which produced a crackling sound.

"Clear and comfortable."

Then a voice came from outside the door, "Is Master Jiang awake?"

Jiang Zhen was delighted; now he could be called "Grandpa" too.

Upon opening the door, I saw a young member of the gang.

"Master Jiang has prepared breakfast for you. Fifth Master instructed that you should have breakfast as soon as you wake up, and then he will take you to the martial arts hall."

"What's your name?"

"Just call me Xiao Li, Mr. Jiang."

"Okay, Xiao Li, ask where Fifth Master and the others are waiting for me." Jiang Zhen felt that they were being a little too respectful to him, but Xiao Li immediately dismissed his thoughts.

"The men in the gang, unless they have business to attend to, usually hone their skills in the martial arts hall in the morning."

"But today, perhaps to witness Master Jiang's divine skills, there are more people in the martial arts hall than usual."

"I see. Then go ahead and have breakfast later. It's not good to keep them waiting."

Then Xiao Li led Jiang Zhen to the martial arts hall of this sect. Before even entering, Jiang Zhen could already feel the Qi of all sizes surging through the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

One of the wisps of energy was more solid than the others. When Jiang Zhen went inside, he looked over and, sure enough, it was Master Feng.

The people in the martial arts hall also looked at Jiang Zhen, their eyes shining brightly. But Jiang Zhen was, after all, someone who often went to the client's side to give reports when he was in the company in his previous life, so he was not intimidated at all.

"I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting."

"Brother Jiang, everyone's been waiting for you. After all, it's been a long time since any new extraordinary people have joined our dock. Especially after hearing that you killed several Japanese yesterday, everyone wants to see what kind of hero you are," Fifth Master Feng asked first.

How is your recovery going?

Jiang Zhen bowed and said, "Thank you for your concern, Fifth Master. I am fine now."

"Then let's begin." Master Feng waved his hand, and everyone retreated instantly, leaving an open space for Jiang Zhen. But only one person stayed behind, and that was Zhou Tiedan.

“Brother Jiang, let’s not play games anymore. Originally, we were supposed to go through three trials, but given your ability to kill those three Ishikawa-ryu superhumans single-handedly, we can skip the first two trials and go straight to the third.”

Zhou Tiedan slowly stepped forward and said, "The third test is very simple. It's just a matter of practicing with the extraordinary people in our gang and letting everyone see your skills. Let me handle this third test."

"But if I may ask, I have never sensed any Qi practice from you?"

Upon hearing about Zhou Tiedan's question, Jiang Zhen glanced at Master Feng, realizing that he hadn't revealed his information.

So he cupped his hands in greeting to the other people around him and said, "I have indeed never practiced Qi, but this ability is innate, it is a natural ability."

"Strange, even if it's an innate ability, it's still essentially a Qi manipulation skill," a person sitting in the back, waving a paper fan, said in bewilderment.

"Brother Jiang, if you don't mind, how about we bring it out now and show everyone what it's like?"

Jiang Zhen had no objection. He was going to reveal it anyway, and he didn't believe they could see anything. If there was a problem, he would just blame it on his innate ability and pretend he didn't know anything himself.

Jiang Zhen raised his right fist, and a thin, fluorescent white sphere of light covered his fist.

Everyone craned their necks to look, their eyes fixed on Jiang Zhen's fist. "Strange, we really can't sense any Qi, but we can feel that it's very dangerous."

"Alright, since Brother Jiang is also an extraordinary person, I can confidently take action. Please give me your guidance."

Zhou Tiedan, who had been holding the iron ball in his palm, suddenly released it and it flew into the air. "Brother Jiang, what I practice is not from any top-tier school. I learned this pair of iron balls from my master in my early years. They can move as easily as an arm within ten steps and can cut jade and split gold with a single throw. But that's all the skill I have."

Listening to Zhou Tiedan's words, Jiang Zhen sighed inwardly. This guy looked big and burly, but he was not honest. Through the vibration, he could sense that the special frequency of the Iron Gallbladder Qi covered a range of about thirty steps. Moreover, the most important thing was that the frequency of the Qi vibration in his arms was the highest.

If the enemy thinks that throwing out his iron fists makes his main body harmless, and goes straight for hand-to-hand combat, they'll be hammered to the point of questioning their existence in the next second.

"Brother Jiang, be careful!"

Chapter 6 Air Shock

call--"

With a low shout from Zhou Tiedan, the air in the martial arts hall seemed to be instantly drawn tight.

The two iron balls that were originally coiled in his palms suddenly burst with a layer of Qi light, like two cannonballs fired from a gun, heading straight for Jiang Zhen's shoulders and thighs with a sharp whooshing sound.

In an instant, the two iron bullets were already in front of Jiang Zhen. In the narrow training hall, these two iron bullets, imbued with Qi, were no less lethal than two small cannonballs when they hit a person.

However, Jiang Zhen didn't even move a step.

In his "vibration perception," although the two iron balls were moving fast, the frequency they generated as they cut through the air was crystal clear. It was like two stones being thrown into a calm body of water; the direction of the ripples was immediately apparent.

"Good timing!"

Jiang Zhen suddenly raised his left hand, which had been hanging down naturally. Instead of using a fist, he transformed his fist into a palm and, facing the two orbs of Qi light, made an extremely subtle "press" in the void.

Om-!

A layer of white fluorescence, imperceptible to the naked eye of ordinary people but extremely intense to those with supernatural abilities, instantly bloomed in Jiang Zhen's palm.

This wasn't the kind of powerful, space-shattering "air tremor," but rather some small skills that Jiang Zhen had developed after a night's rest—the Resonance Palm.

Click!

The moment the two iron balls collided with the white wave, the Qi light that was originally attached to it was like hitting the glass of a shredder. It lasted for less than half a second before collapsing with a loud bang amidst a screeching sound.

Without the support and kinetic energy of Qi, the two heavy iron balls stopped abruptly and fell straight down at Jiang Zhen's feet with two clangs, shattering two blue bricks.

"Broken? He just took it so easily and even broke the Qi on Old Zhou's Iron Gallbladder?" Whispers came from all around.

Zhou Tiedan's pupils shrank. There weren't many people in this gang who could face him head-on without even breaking a sweat.

Then Zhou Tiedan made his move, like a tiger descending a mountain, and pounced on Jiang Zhen.

"Brother Jiang, well done! But this is my trump card!"

With a roar from Zhou Tiedan, his already thick arms swelled up even more, tearing the sleeves of his short jacket with a "rip". The veins on his forearms bulged, like the gnarled roots of an old tree, and a layer of Qi, even more concentrated and faintly bluish-black than that on Tiedan before, tightly enveloped his arms.

This is Zhou Tiedan's true killing move - Iron Arm Skill!

Countless opponents thought they could get close and kill him after dodging his iron will, only to be smashed into mincemeat by those arms that were harder than pig iron.

He crossed his arms, bringing with him a fierce gust of wind, and aimed straight for Jiang Zhen's temples. If this move landed, it would break even a concrete pillar, let alone a living person.

"Old Zhou's temper is like that; once he starts fighting, he can't stop! Brother Jiang, be careful!" someone on the side couldn't help but warn.

Jiang Zhen looked at the two arms that were like iron pillars coming at him, and his eyes showed seriousness. Although the Tremor-Tremor Fruit was unparalleled in its destructive power, his own skills and combat experience were no match for these veterans.

Seeing Zhou Tiedan coming at him, Jiang Zhen took a deep breath, clenched his right fist, and delivered a straight punch straight to Zhou Tiedan's arms without any fancy moves.

"shock."

There are no moves with names, and no fancy moves.

When Jiang Zhen's fist collided with Zhou Tiedan's arms, which were covered with dense Qi light, no earth-shattering noise was heard in the martial arts hall.

Instead, all sounds seemed to be swallowed up at that moment.

Immediately afterwards, a dull, heart-pounding "thud" reverberated from the center of their collision.

Zhou Tiedan felt a violent shock force that he could not comprehend at all, which directly penetrated his proud protective Qi, ignored his skin and flesh defenses, and forcefully drilled into the depths of his bone marrow.

As soon as Pu made contact with Zhou Tiedan, he knew he couldn't fight him head-on. At the same time, Jiang Zhen took a step back first, because he sensed two lumps of something suddenly rushing upwards from the ground through the vibration.

The two iron galls that he had just knocked off had been re-infused with energy by Zhou Tiedan, and when the two collided, they rushed upwards, preparing to strike Jiang Zhen's palate directly.

Then look again, the two iron balls are still surrounding Zhou Tiedan's body.

Zhou Tiedan shook his arm and sighed inwardly, "Strange, luckily I was careful, otherwise I would have really been in trouble." The ability to break Qi forced him to reveal his Iron Arm Skill in advance in order to retrieve the two iron galls. Although he had spare ordinary iron galls, these two iron galls were nurtured by him with Qi over the years.

But I never expected that power would be so domineering.

His inexplicable perception also made Zhou Tiedan feel troubled, but fortunately it was only a simple contact. Zhou Tiedan found that Jiang Zhen really didn't have any hand skills and relied purely on his innate ability to throw bricks.

"That makes things easier."

Zhou Tiedan changed his form. Throwing Tiedan from a distance would break his Qi, but if he got close, he couldn't withstand the shockwave head-on.

"Old Zhou is getting serious, Master Bai, you'd better keep an eye on him," one of the men said to the man who was waving a white paper fan.

"Don't worry, Old Zhou is very perceptive. He also saw that although Brother Jiang's innate ability is domineering, his movement technique and life cultivation are almost non-existent. He can control him."

Looking at the scene again, Zhou Tiedan exploded once more, his body surrounded by iron balls. Jiang Zhen lowered his guard, thinking, "I really need to put in some effort."

A steel ball flew directly to Jiang Zhen's left side.

"Is it because you saw me constantly swinging my right fist and were trying to break through from the left?" Jiang Zhen's left fist was also covered in fluorescent light.

Zhou Tiedan narrowed his eyes and slammed his long arm directly at Jiang Zhen. Jiang Zhen used one fist to release a shockwave to neutralize Tiedan's incoming kinetic energy and the Qi above it, and then swung his other fist at Zhou Tiedan's long arm.

Suddenly, another iron gallstone flew up.

"We were prepared for this a long time ago."

But to Jiang Zhen's surprise, the iron gall did not go toward him, but flew from the right side toward the empty left side between the two.

Then Jiang Zhen sensed a vibration of Qi around his waist. "Another iron-willed beast, the real move is here!"

Just as Zhou Tiedan's right arm was about to make contact with Jiang Zhen's fist, the Iron Gallbladder Qi at his waist began to solidify, ready to be unleashed at any moment.

"Indeed, Brother Jiang's perception of Qi is extraordinary." Zhou Tiedan said, as if confirming something, noticing Jiang Zhen's eyes glancing at his waist from time to time.

"Ok?"

Jiang Zhen anticipated that Zhou Tiedan's iron arm would strike and knock him back, but Tiedan suddenly attacked from the shadows, and the scene of him calmly holding his arm did not occur.

Instead, after Zhou Tiedan spread his arms, his left hand did not attack him, but instead grabbed the iron ball that Jiang Zhen found inexplicably flying from right to left, and used it as the center to make a horizontal circle.

Jiang Zhen turned his head and saw that a size 46 shoe was getting bigger and bigger.

"Holy crap, that's some movement technique!"

While Jiang Zhen was still in a daze, Zhou Tiedan landed, his foot merely passing over Jiang Zhen's head without directly lifting it towards his head.
