I'm a body cultivator, so it's normal for me to destroy a star with one punch, right?

Chapter 123 Who else? Let the competition begin!
The scene was packed with people, and completely silent!
All eyes turned to Jiang He!

He descended from the sky, his body ablaze with blood flames, and waves of heat emanated from him. Some of the people nearby were even unable to stand up because of the heat wave!
Especially the terrifying aura emanating from Jiang He.

Not to mention ordinary people.

Even some of the closer, weaker martial artists felt like they couldn't breathe!
The young geniuses from the various base cities, who had previously looked relaxed, suddenly narrowed their eyes and became extremely serious!

The heads of various base cities who accompanied them, as well as some martial arts masters and experts, all changed their expressions.

Even Hong Wanli was taken aback.

He is a martial arts master.

Jianghe's strength is evident.

Through Chen Jingzhou and some information he investigated, he learned about Jiang He's "past"... and that Jiang He had used the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique to fight his enemies many times!

"This kid..."

Is it a monster?

Hong Wanli murmured to himself.

Could he... possibly unleash the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique without limit?
wrong!

Wouldn't that be bad news for the contestants from the six major base cities?
Given Jianghe's current state, who can defeat him?

...............

Above the long river.

Shui Qianyun was also taken aback.

"Oops!"

"Yanchen, your little boyfriend has a misunderstanding... I told him to act more imposingly, not to fight desperately. How come he activated the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique as soon as he landed?"

How are others supposed to fight now?
Shui Qianyun was already an A+ level water-type superhuman, and she was only half a step away from breaking through to S level.

This time, she led a team to Chongming Island for trials.

As a result, seeing the magnificent sight of the Yangtze River flowing into the sea, I accidentally broke through the barrier.

Shui Qianyun is now a genuine S-class transcendent awakener, so how could she not see Jiang He's strength?
Yun Yanchen murmured, "Why...why did he use the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique again? Is he crazy to use such an explosive secret technique repeatedly?"

Shui Qianyun said, "Judging from Jiang He's aura, it is strong and solid, and he doesn't seem to be injured. Perhaps using the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique won't harm him... The fight is about to start, quick, you streamer, give Jiang He a close-up!"

The long river has dispersed.

It turned into a mist.

The water mist fell down to about 100 meters above the ground.

…………

"Ok?"

Jiang He, after waiting five seconds and seeing no one step forward to challenge him, raised an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping over the group of geniuses from Beihu Base City, and coldly said, "The geniuses and talents of Beihu Base City..."

"That's it?"

"Are you scared?"

"If you guys don't come... then I'll come!"

He suddenly exerted his strength.

He channeled the hidden power of the Great Sage Fist into his legs, and the ground beneath his feet shattered as he transformed into a blur, hurtling towards the people of Beihu Base City.

A person is in mid-air, right hand clenched into a fist, all their strength explodes, merging into hidden energy...

"and many more!"

A young genius from Beihu Base City shouted at the fastest speed he had ever spoken: "We're just here to watch the show, we have no intention of making a move..."

Jiang He's fist stopped abruptly a foot away from the seven young talents in Beihu Base City.

only……

The fist was pulled back.

But the power of that punch had already been unleashed.

Rumble!
With a physical strength of nearly 9 kilograms, and with the 1.5 times amplitude of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique and the 2 times combat power of the Great Sage Fist, it unleashed a burst of 44 kilograms of explosive force!
The terrifying force of the punches, like a tidal wave, slammed into the seven young talents.

One of the half-step grandmasters was alright; he integrated his martial arts essence into his protective aura and only took a step back... The other six, five of them staggered back eight or nine steps, blood spilling from the corners of their mouths, their protective auras shattered by the force of the punch!
The sixth person was the worst off.

He is an Awakened One.

As for physical constitution...

He was naturally inferior to martial artists of the same level, and was directly hit by the force of the punch. His body flew up like a tattered sack, flying more than fifty meters before landing heavily. He coughed up blood and fainted.

The surrounding audience was stunned!

The geniuses in the other base cities were furious...

Each punch carries such terrifying force!
If that punch had landed squarely on his body...

If you're not a half-step Grandmaster, you'll probably explode!

Jiang He withdrew his fist, glanced at the group from Beihu Base City, and said calmly, "Sorry... you were too slow to back down, and I couldn't control my power for a moment."

"Admit defeat?"

These words were quite jarring to the ears of the young geniuses in Beihu Base City. The half-step Grandmaster stepped forward and said, "Jiang He, we are not admitting defeat... it's just that the Martial Arts Tournament is approaching, and we don't want any unnecessary complications."

"Isn't that just admitting defeat?"

Jiang He glanced at the half-step grandmaster out of the corner of his eye and said, "I, Jiang He, believe in reasoning with people. Since you've admitted defeat, then let bygones be bygones for your insults. Now, leave."

Even the half-step Grandmaster's hands were trembling.

He wanted to speak again.

But Jiang He had already turned around and looked at the geniuses from the other base cities.

only……

Jiang He couldn't recall any other five hotels besides those occupied by athletes from Xixia, Xi'an, and Beihu Base City...

wrong!

Xijiang Base City!
Jiang He recognized the contestant from Xijiang Base City who had called him a "lunatic" last night!

His eyes blazed with fury. The memory of what he had experienced the previous night made him tremble with rage. He pointed a finger at the man in Xijiang Base City and roared, "You...you, stop looking around...get the hell out here!"

This person is one of the contestants from Xijiang Base City, named Kong Ze, and his strength is naturally not weak.

But he hasn't reached the level of a half-step grandmaster yet.

The argument started yesterday when Jianghe happened to overhear Jianghe shouting that he was a "lunatic." It was also his most arrogant moment that provoked Jianghe, who then challenged him to a duel in the woods outside the city.

only……

After witnessing the power of Jiang He's punch, Kong Ze's legs trembled slightly.

If that punch had landed on me, I doubt only a shovel could have cleaned my body up.

He stepped forward, forcing a smile, and said, "Jiang He... to be honest, our Xijiang Base City didn't intend to fight you either. I told you we were just here to watch the show... would you believe me?"

"Believe it or not!"

Jiang He said, "If you step forward and take three punches from me, I'll believe you!"

Kong Ze's face turned pale and then red. He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Everyone, attack together... Jiang He is just a body-refining martial artist. He's only so arrogant because of the unleashing of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique!"

"I refuse to believe that if we all gang up on him, we still can't defeat him!"

The dozen or so geniuses from Xijiang Base City exchanged glances, nodded to each other, and then roared as they charged forward.

Various swords, weapons, and extraordinary abilities rained down on the river like a storm!

Jiang He circulated his qi and blood, and his blood flames surged all over his body. He didn't care about defense; he just kept punching people.

The sound of fists blasting through the air continued.

One after another, more than a dozen geniuses from Xijiang Base City were sent flying backwards. Some flew seventy or eighty meters, and some flew more than a hundred meters away. Jiang He also suffered many blows, with knife wounds and sword marks.

His clothes were torn.

Fresh blood was seeping from his body, making him look extremely disheveled.

But if you look closely, you'll find...

His injuries were all superficial! No, that's not right!

Some injuries aren't even considered superficial wounds; they're just a tiny scratch...

The fight wasn't even over yet, and it's already healed!
The experts in Xijiang Base City twitched at the sight... They ran around frantically, gathering the geniuses who had been sent flying by Jianghe together and feeding them elixirs.

The person in charge of the Xijiang Base City who led the team this time was an A+ level earth-type extraordinary awakener, with a burly physique and a cultivation level equivalent to a ninth-grade grandmaster.

He came out, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Jiang He, and said, "Thank you."

Jiang He returned the greeting with clasped hands and said, "You're too kind."

Among the onlookers, someone was puzzled and whispered, "Is that expert from Xijiang Base City an idiot? Their people from Xijiang have been beaten to a pulp... and he still goes to thank Jiang He?"

A martial artist nearby sneered and cursed, "You know nothing... They're thanking Jiang He for showing mercy. Don't be fooled by these young people's current unconscious state. With their cultivation and strength, plus full treatment and the use of spiritual medicine, they'll recover in ten or twenty days!"

The people from Xijiang Base City quickly evacuated with the wounded.

Jiang He surveyed his surroundings with imposing air and shouted, "Who else?"

Wherever the eyes go.

None of those young geniuses dared to meet his gaze.

"The geniuses and outstanding talents of the major base cities... is this all?"

Jiang He sneered.

Seeing this, Hong Wanli quickly stepped forward and laughed, "Nephew Jianghe is indeed brave. That bastard Chen Jingzhou has really struck gold this time... Ever since Xiahou Wu created the method of condensing qi and blood, the number of martial artists in our Great Xia who follow the path of body refinement has gradually increased."

"Among the younger generation, there are absolutely no other people who can cultivate their physical body to such a level at your age!"

He was afraid that Jianghe would provoke him further with his words.

The young talents on site couldn't take it anymore and wanted to run out to get beaten up again...

If all these young people get injured, who will go on stage to compete? What's the point of holding a martial arts tournament then?

Moreover, Jiang He has been unleashing the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique since the beginning, and it has been more than three minutes now. His aura is already showing signs of decline, and he has become somewhat thinner.

Even though he has a special physique and can unleash the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique without limit, he can always make up for the damage caused by the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique each time.

However, this explosive technique can only be unleashed for three to five minutes at a time.

He can't keep flaring up forever, can he?

With Hong Wanli's intervention, the matter was naturally resolved.

The geniuses from the other base cities secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quietly slipped out of the crowd...

The people gradually dispersed.

Many people said they weren't satisfied with what they were watching.

The news media swarmed around, wanting to interview Jiang He again. Jiang He's face darkened, and he angrily retorted, "Get lost! I'm in a bad mood and don't want to be interviewed!"

Many of these media outlets were broadcasting live.

This scene was naturally broadcast live.

If other celebrities or public figures said this in front of the media, they would inevitably be criticized and attacked by trolls.

But Jiang He's words made the viewers of the live stream laugh.

no way!
People have already formed preconceived notions.

Is it normal for someone to be a little different because they have a medical condition?
Wow!

Another long river hangs down from the sky.

Shui Qianyun said, "Jiang He, come on up."

Jiang He withdrew the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique, his aura rapidly declined, his face turned pale, and he appeared extremely weak... He originally wanted to grab a handful of "Qi and Blood Pills" to eat and restore his Qi and blood, but considering that there were many people around, he gave up the idea.

Hong Wanli grabbed the river and jumped into the long river.

The long river surged backward, soaring into the sky and heading towards the base city.

On the long river, Shui Qianyun scolded, "Hong Wanli, what are you doing up here?"

Hong Wanli laughed heartily and said, "Congratulations to Sister Shui for breaking through the shackles and stepping into the S-level... From now on, our Great Xia will have another Water God."

"Stop flattering me. With my limited cultivation, I dare not call myself the Water God."

Shui Qianyun didn't give Hong Wanli a friendly look and scolded, "And... how did you become the head of Jiangnan Base City? You let my brother be bullied and ridiculed by so many people for no reason..."

Hong Wanli: "..."

Your brother?
He glanced at Jiang He, realized what was going on, and said with a wry smile, "Jiang He is fine, isn't he? Instead, those who mocked him for being beaten and injured are the ones who are laughing at him."

"Who said I'm fine?"

Jiang He said weakly, "They called me mentally ill for no reason... I suffered severe psychological trauma, which blinded my young mind with unbearable harm..."

Shui Qianyun: "That's right, they have to apologize and compensate my brother for emotional distress!"

Hong Wanli was dumbfounded!
But he knew Shui Qianyun.

If this woman got angry, she was capable of anything. He could only grit his teeth and say, "Young people often speak without thinking, which is understandable. Ultimately, it's my fault, Hong Wanli, that I didn't handle this matter well..."

"Don't rivers need earth dragon blood?"

“We still have a drop of the Earth Dragon King’s essence blood in our Jiangnan base city’s warehouse, which I can offer as an apology.”

Jiang He was overjoyed.

Shui Qianyun glanced at it and sneered.

A single drop of the original Earth Dragon King's essence blood, though not as valuable as the finished "Earth Dragon Blood," is still worth 3-4 million.

Hong Wanli's use of the "Earth Dragon King's Essence Blood" was not merely an "apology"... Clearly, he wanted to befriend Jiang He!

"You, a dignified martial arts master, are willing to spend such a huge sum of money for a junior?"

"I have high hopes for this kid... Perhaps in the future, he will be the second Xiahou Wu. What does a drop of Earth Dragon King's essence blood matter... Anyway, it's something from the bureau!"

of course.

The following conversation was a secret telepathic exchange between the two.

Back to the hotel.

Jiang He used the excuse of needing to "recover from his injuries" to secretly take "Qi and Blood Pills".

but……

He still pretended to be weak and announced that because the "Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique" had been used too frequently, it had damaged his foundation, and he was temporarily unable to use any of his power, and even getting out of bed was difficult.

This statement.

Naturally, no one doubted it.

after all……

Such are the characteristics of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique!
It would be strange if Jiang He were completely unharmed!

Many people even came to visit Jiang He, but he refused them all with the excuse that he was "too weak to see people."

Even Tian Jie was kicked out of the room by Jiang He, who told him to find another place to live.

With the conclusion of today's battle, Jiang He's fame has grown even more. For a time, various media outlets and news outlets were filled with reports about this battle, which also became a hot topic of conversation before the start of the National Youth Martial Arts Competition.

soon.

A day has passed.

October 1, 2024!
The 5th National Youth Martial Arts Competition has officially begun.

hotel room.

Jiang He watched the live broadcast of the competition's opening ceremony on television, but on his mobile phone... was a list of participants.

"Depend on!"

"What are the organizers up to... Didn't they say that the first round of the competition would be decided by drawing lots? Why haven't they started drawing lots yet?"

Jiang He cursed and swore.

He popped a grape into his mouth, crossed his legs, and sat on the sofa, sighing, "Sigh... I wonder which lucky person Yun Yanchen will be the opponent in the first match."

PS: Thank you fusinong for the 100-point reward!
