The Prince Can Do Divination-Chapter 104 - 99: Burying the Hatchet, Marquis Wu’s Daughter Sees Saber Qi Like a Dragon

Chapter 104: Chapter 99: Burying the Hatchet, Marquis Wu’s Daughter Sees Saber Qi Like a Dragon

Within the bamboo forest, the damp scent of soil and grass tickled the nose as a gentle summer breeze stirred.

Two figures stood facing each other.

Huo Hongling’s beautiful eyes shone with intensity. She clenched one fist before her and pressed her other palm to her side. As she took an agile step forward, the aura of a Martial Arts Grandmaster instantly materialized around her.

Lu Mingyuan watched this and nodded slightly.

’She truly is the leading figure of the Imperial Capital’s younger generation of Military Generals,’ he thought. The daughter of the Champion Marquis had reached the Seventh Realm of a Grandmaster at just eighteen; her future was truly boundless.

She was certain to become a Middle Fifth-Grade Martial Artist in the future.

He could tell with a single glance that she had opened far more than the standard 365 Acupoints. She was no ordinary Grandmaster, but one who had been deeply consolidating her power in this realm for a long time.

"As is tradition, I will suppress my realm to the Fourth Realm to fight you, Your Highness."

Huo Hongling said, her crimson lips parting.

"Alright. In that case, you’ll have to forgive my clumsy display."

Lu Mingyuan smiled faintly and also stepped forward. However, his steps were like a meandering stream, flowing slowly but with an innate sense of the Transformation Realm.

Huo Hongling’s talent in Martial Arts was not to be underestimated. With just one look, she identified which Martial Arts technique Lu Mingyuan’s simple step came from.

"That’s... the army’s Mountain Shaking Fist."

’Why would the Prince use such a basic Martial Art?’

Although Huo Hongling was puzzled, she didn’t underestimate him.

The Mountain Shaking Fist might be basic, but it was far from ordinary. A Body Refining Fist Technique taught widely throughout the Great Yan Army could hardly be some weak, third-rate method.

Lu Mingyuan’s hands moved around his body, settling into the stance of the Mountain Shaking Fist. He hadn’t yet thrown a punch, merely releasing its Fist Intent.

This Fist Intent, which could only be condensed upon reaching the Perfection Realm, was like the great morning sun breaking through the ocean’s surface, rising swiftly to illuminate all life.

’It’s actually a Martial Dao Phenomenon.’

Huo Hongling was taken aback. She hadn’t expected the Sixth Prince to possess a Martial Dao Phenomenon. ’No wonder he’s using this technique,’ she thought. ’In his hands, it has already reached Perfection, even the Ultimate Transformation Realm. Fighting someone in a higher realm wouldn’t be a problem for him.’

This kind of phenomenon could only be condensed in the Fourth Realm by someone of extraordinary potential, and it symbolized their future in the Martial Dao.

With this, her theory that Lu Mingyuan had used a Qi Blood Elixir to force a breakthrough, leaving him with an unstable foundation, crumbled on its own.

This phenomenon would manifest the moment he attacked. It couldn’t be faked, nor could it be easily hidden.

"Your Highness, make your move!"

Huo Hongling struck first with a sharp cry. Not to be outdone in momentum, Lu Mingyuan silently met her attack.

Both of them threw a punch.

THUD!

A massive sound echoed as their fists froze in mid-air. Two completely different, powerful shockwaves erupted outward, causing the surrounding bamboo to RUSTLE violently.

The exchange ended, and the two quickly separated.

They stood their ground, neither having retreated a single step.

"I knew it."

Huo Hongling’s eyes sparkled. During their last duel, she had realized from the start that Lu Mingyuan’s strength was immense; he had almost knocked the sword from her hand with his saber. At first, she thought she had simply not used enough force, but after thinking it over, she realized that wasn’t the case.

Even an ordinary Fourth Realm Martial Artist would have trouble taking one of her punches, even if she was holding back.

At the very least, she shouldn’t have been staggered by the force of his saber.

Therefore, she concluded that this Sixth Prince was not as weak as he seemed and was likely hiding his true strength.

Today, she wanted to test Lu Mingyuan’s real power.

The thought vanished as quickly as it came.

Huo Hongling stomped her foot and vanished in an instant.

But Lu Mingyuan, with his Primordial Qi Perception, could sense the slightest disturbance in the air.

A wisp of energy descended from above.

Huo Hongling’s punch came crashing down with the overwhelming force of a flood, like Mount Tai itself was falling upon him.

Lu Mingyuan raised his arm, blocking the blow that could have shattered boulders.

BANG! BANG! The sounds echoed out.

Lu Mingyuan’s Flesh Body was indestructible. Barring a Middle Fifth-Grade Martial Artist, no one in the Lower Seven Realms could break through his physical defenses.

Huo Hongling, still in mid-air, lashed out with a side kick as fast as a thunderbolt.

Then she followed with a two-fisted strike, holding nothing back.

Lu Mingyuan hadn’t expected her to be so ferocious; this didn’t feel like a spar at all. ’She’s trying to force out every last secret I have,’ he thought, a flicker of regret passing through him for accepting this duel.

However, her flurry of attacks failed to make a single ripple.

He blocked them all, one by one.

After finishing her assault, Huo Hongling felt her qi and blood churn. The Primordial Qi in her Acupoints surged like a flood straining against a dam; she could barely keep her cultivation suppressed at the Fourth Realm.

That exchange had been exhilarating. Back in the army camps, any other disciple from the Marquis Mansions would have long been defeated by her overwhelming power. None of them could have lasted this long.

A competitive fire lit up in her eyes. She smiled and said:

"Your Highness, the warm-up is over. Let’s start using Primordial Qi."

’The fist-and-foot work was just the beginning. As Martial Artists, how can we not use Gang Qi and Primordial Qi?’

"How about we call it a day?"

Lu Mingyuan really didn’t want to continue. If this went on, he’d truly expose himself.

"No! In a Martial Dao spar, not using your full strength is the ultimate disrespect to your opponent."

Huo Hongling’s Dantian flared open. She sank into her stance, and in an instant, Fist Gang enveloped her. Her fists began to glow with a vibrant Crimson Primordial Qi, and her momentum became as powerful as an ox.

She revealed the peak stance of a top-tier Grandmaster. This was the White Crane Fist Intent her father had taught her; it straightened her entire spine, making her resemble an Immortal Crane poised for flight.

Without another word, she shot forward like a sharp sword.

Lu Mingyuan sighed. He had no choice but to get serious.

The technique he used was still the Mountain Shaking Fist.

As the saying goes, it is not the Martial Art that matters, but the Martial Artist who wields it.

In the hands of the right person, even the most basic Mountain-Shaking Fist Technique could unleash terrifying power.

Conversely, without sufficient strength, even a trump card like the Celestial Spirit Hidden Dragon would be powerless.

Lu Mingyuan also began to channel his Martial Dao Primordial Qi.
