Eternal Blood Emperor-Chapter 525: Qi Hongcai

The tall and lean young man, though only at the First Layer of the Celestial God Realm cultivation, managed to enter the Divine Martial Saint Institute, indicating that his talent and strength must far surpass that of others in the same realm.

Even against those at the Second Layer or even the Third Layer of the Celestial God Realm, he could likely win easily.

Thus, including himself, everyone thought that dealing with the person before him, who only had a mere cultivation of the Celestial Venerable Realm, would be effortless.

"Boy, with your mere Celestial Venerable Realm cultivation, I’m afraid you can’t withstand even a casual strike from me. To avoid accusations of bullying, I, Qi Hongcai, will lower my cultivation level to match yours."

The tall and lean young man looked arrogantly at Wang Ruoxie and said, "Besides, if you can survive one punch from me, I’ll spare you."

"Qi Hongcai, you’re clearly still bullying him. Even if you lower your cultivation to his level, your Divine Body is incomparably stronger than his. You could probably kill him with just your physical strength."

"Exactly, if it were me, I wouldn’t need any cultivation to easily overpower him."

As Qi Hongcai finished speaking, the other young men laughed loudly.

Of course, they weren’t mocking Qi Hongcai but ridiculing Wang Ruoxie.

"No need, give it your all, or else I fear you won’t withstand my strike."

Wang Ruoxie responded with a faint smile, addressing Qi Hongcai.

"Heh... This guy really doesn’t know his limits, daring to boast like this with just a Celestial Venerable Realm cultivation."

"Such idiots, if not for being at the Saint Institute, would surely have died countless times already."

"Qi Hongcai, what are you waiting for? Quickly teach him a harsh lesson, show him how to conduct himself."

Upon hearing Wang Ruoxie’s words, those young men responded with cold sneers.

"Boy, you’ve angered me, and the consequences are severe."

Qi Hongcai’s expression turned extremely unpleasant as he glared at Wang Ruoxie, coldly uttering his words.

"Is that so, then why aren’t you making a move? Or do you normally use your mouth to fight?"

Wang Ruoxie sneered, mocking him.

"Courting death."

Furious at Wang Ruoxie’s words, Qi Hongcai could no longer restrain himself and charged forward, instantly arriving before Wang Ruoxie. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Without the slightest hesitation, he unleashed a full-force punch at Wang Ruoxie.

Clearly, his anger made him forget to hold back, even disregarding the Saint Institute’s rules against fighting.

His mind now only entertained one thought—to completely kill the person who dared to humiliate him.

"It’s over, this guy is doomed."

"Killing him will definitely bring Qi Hongcai severe punishment from the Saint Institute, but getting a Third Grade Divine Artifact and Saint Child Yanghui’s favor might blur the line between fortune and misfortune."

"This person brought this on himself. Facing Qi Hongcai of the Celestial God Realm, not only did he not plead for mercy, but he even provoked him—he’s truly courting death."

Seeing this, everyone’s eyes narrowed.

To them, against Qi Hongcai’s furious strike, Wang Ruoxie, with only Celestial Venerable Realm cultivation, definitely couldn’t withstand it and was doomed.

Many bystanders watched with anticipatory eyes, curious whether Wang Ruoxie would be instantly killed by Qi Hongcai’s lethal punch or unexpectedly withstand it.

Facing the charging Qi Hongcai, Wang Ruoxie still stood calmly in place.

However, just as the punch was about to land on him, he suddenly moved.

In that instant, he unleashed a punch towards Qi Hongcai’s fist.

"Idiot."

Seeing Wang Ruoxie dare to confront him head-on, a cruel gleam flashed in Qi Hongcai’s eyes, as if he already visualized Wang Ruoxie being pulverized by his punch.

"Such a foolish guy."

The crowd also showed disdain in their eyes, murmuring inwardly.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a loud bang, their fists collided fiercely.

Soon, as a muffled groan dispersed, a figure was blown backwards.

The onlookers focused their gaze to see Wang Ruoxie retreating continuously, stabilizing only after taking dozens of steps.

Qi Hongcai, meanwhile, did not retreat a single step, still standing firm.

"This guy... didn’t die."

Seeing Wang Ruoxie, though knocked back, not being vanquished by Qi Hongcai’s punch and without any visible injuries shocked everyone.

"Unbelievable, he managed to withstand Qi Hongcai’s punch without a scratch."

"No wonder he could enter the Divine Martial Saint Institute with Celestial Venerable Realm cultivation; his strength is truly exceptional, comparable at least to an Initial Tier Celestial God Realm First Layer student."

"With a Celestial Venerable Realm cultivation capable of challenging Celestial God Realm adversaries, imagine his power upon reaching the Divine Human Realm—terrifying."

Everyone’s gaze froze on the scene, faces filled with disbelief.

"Being able to join the Divine Martial Saint Institute indeed distinguishes one from ordinary geniuses."

Wang Ruoxie’s brows furrowed, pondering silently.

Although Qi Hongcai was merely First Layer Celestial God Realm, the punch’s power indicated strength comparable even to a typical Third Layer of the Celestial God Realm.

It’s noteworthy that after comprehending six Laws, his strength increased tenfold. Against a typical Celestial God Realm adversary, even Middle Stage ones, that punch could heavily injure or annihilate them.

Yet Qi Hongcai wielded it effortlessly.

Of course, this was due to the vast cultivation gap between them, preventing his many advantages from fully manifesting.

"Is this the source of your arrogance?"

Qi Hongcai sneered coldly, asking.

"Ridiculous. You’re merely First Layer Celestial God Realm, while I’m just a Celestial Venerable Realm. Besides, you barely have an edge. Where does your pride come from?"

Wang Ruoxie retorted with mocking eyes: "If I were also at the Divine Human Realm, even if just First Layer of the Upper God Realm, I could defeat you with a single flick."

Earlier, hearing such words from Wang Ruoxie would garner ridicule from the crowd, viewing him as arrogant. But now, they couldn’t help feeling agreement.

"My previous punch only used physical strength. Try taking this next punch."

Qi Hongcai snorted coldly, unleashing another punch.

Immediately, terrifying fist radiance bloomed in the space, transforming into a massive Golden Fist Seal targeting Wang Ruoxie.

"Five Elements Divine Fist."

Wang Ruoxie’s eyes glinted as he swiftly responded with a punch.
