Chapter 340: Hall Master’s Assassination

Translator: Mercurial_ Editor: DarkGem

Blue Moon Isle was a relatively lower starting point compared to the entire Origin World, but this sort of low level environment was already causing the descenders to feel pressure.

When the group of other plane descenders saw Pan Tu’s strength not weakening even after facing thirty challengers, a grave expression appeared on their faces.

It seemed that it wasn’t only Li Yunmu’s side which had gravely underestimated the strength of real flux masters. The descenders of other planes had also made this error.

Exposure to real combat informed the descenders that when a native of the Origin World practiced a body refining cultivation method, they would become frightening.

Not only would their physical bodies become even more tyrannical, their endurance would also be increased greatly.

If a body refining technique was given to a fluxer on Li Yunmu’s Earth, then even after cultivating for a few years there might not be any substantial increase in their strength. But what if it was given to a native of the Origin World with their innately formidable body?

After going through his experiences, Li Yunmu discovered that the physical experts who hadn’t cultivated body refining techniques and those who had were on completely different levels.

If a physical flux expert cultivated an offensive technique, he could display their formidable power, while they cultivated a body refining technique, they could thoroughly exploit their formidable body

Explosive power, resistance, nimbleness, endurance, and even regeneration as well as meticulous control over physical strength would get upgraded by a lot.

Pan Tu’s power was only three oxen greater compared to Nine Dragon Cave’s leader, which didn’t seem very large. However, after witnessing everything personally, Li Yunmu felt dread toward the natives.

An ordinary body refining technique could exploit the gene concealed within their bodies, which was something the people of his Earth couldn’t accomplish.

Pan Tu successively faced fifty challengers in front of several thousand people. By then, three people had lasted long enough under his hands. The second one was actually a slave that belonged to the lowest class.

From that moment onward, that lowest class slave would succeeded in changing his destiny.

One of the other was an outsider. He successfully grabbed the opportunity and gained the qualifications to become an external disciple of Blue Moon Island.

"I will take the stage next. Those who can last in front of me for three minutes will not only become the outer disciples of Blue Moon Island, but will also be allowed to choose an offensive physical skill from Island Hall which will give them a chance to struggle against other outer disciples."

After Pan Tu, the next person to come on the stage was the second disciple of hall master and was called Suo Ya.

He also cultivated a body refining technique and possessed the strength of twelve oxen. He cultivated an offensive technique which was called Wind Cleaving Kick.

It could be said that his strength was almost the same as that of Pan Tu, but then why would a person challenging him have the opportunity to obtain a physical offensive skill. That person would then gain a way to step on the road to progress on Blue Moon Island.

The reason for this was because Suo Ya’s offensive skill was a kicking technique.

Just as the name suggested, his kicks were extremely fast and ruthless, to the extent that they could cleave through wind. Although his attack wasn’t as sturdy and strong as that of Pan Tu’s Steel Hands which could resist against metal blades, it shouldn’t be forgotten that the explosive power of thighs surpassed the power of arms by three to five folds. If a kicking technique was cultivated to a high level, then achieving ten times more power with a single kick than a punch wasn’t impossible.

Therefore, although Suo Ya only had the power of twelve oxen, his one kick which reached more than a hundred tons was extremely frightening.

And Wind Cleaving Kick was as fast as its name suggested. When used by a physical flux expert who had a powerful body, this skill’s strength could be displayed to a frightening level.

This offensive kicking skill which was fast and ruthless as well as powerful allowed the user to display power close to that of a homing missile.

When Suo Ya took the stage and began challenging people, the fights became even more intense.

After a day of Suo Ya fighting against several tens of people, only one person was able to last for three minutes under him by relying on his physical strength.

Perhaps if even Li Yunmu had been on stage, he wouldn’t have been able to resist a kick with more than a hundred tons of power without using his terrifying defense.

Often, the reason why Li Yunmu prevailed when many others would have fallen was because of his terrifying defense.

Since the second disciple of hall master was already this formidable, Li Yunmu couldn’t help turning serious.

Soon, the first disciple of hall master appeared.

His name was Suo Lei, and he was an older brother to Suo Ya. He cultivated a body refining technique in addition to Cross Cover Armor and a fist skill called Day Killing Fist. Apart from this, he had also learned an explosive footwork.

Altogether he had cultivated two offensive physical skills, one footwork, a physical cultivation method, and possessed strength of fifteen oxen as well as a body refining technique and a defensive physical skill. In general, he had developed all fields.

Even the three other plane descenders of East Fishermen Village couldn’t help but take in a deep breath.

After witnessing Pan Tu and Suo Ya’s strength, the three other plane descenders didn’t dare to look down on the strength of physical flux experts.

"Those who can last against me for three minutes will be free to enter Island Hall and choose a physical cultivation method, a physical offensive skill, a martial footwork..."

Suo Lei was bald and . meters tall. Although given his body size he didn’t seem very strong, he had clearly cultivated his body to a higher level, thus his body wasn’t as shocking as that of Suo Ya or Pan Tu.

Once he finished his speech, a commotion rose among the spectators below.

"How can the rewards offered by hall master be so generous this year? You know, in past few years, they had only offered an offensive skill and a martial footwork."

"Heavens, this year they are even offering a cultivation method, it is incredible."

However Suo Lei wasn’t finished yet. He spoke up once more in a profound voice which was like heavenly thunder rolling around.

"This year, I will also be representing master. If you want to enter Blue Moon Island’s inner sect, you will have to beat me."

"What? Then what about Lord Bu Jie? Why isn’t he appearing to battle today all of a sudden?"

Suo Lei’s words triggered a great upheaval.

Bu Jie was the hall master of Blue Moon Island who was regarded as the protector of Azure Dragon Town. His sudden disappearance caused many town residents to become anxious.

"One month ago, Master was faced with an assassination attempt by an unknown enemy and passed on."

"How is that possible, Hall Master Lord Bu Jie was so formidable, who could’ve have injured him. Impossible, absolutely impossible"

Subconsciously, Li Yunmu took a glance at the three other plane descenders standing not far from him. At this moment, he realized that his previous conjuncture was probably wrong.

The reason behind why only three out of seven had come wasn’t because they had scattered to nearby islands, but that they had went to assassinate the hall master together, and four of them had gotten killed.

Li Yunmu instinctively felt that this was the truth of the situation.
