As his words resounded in the battle arena, a massive amount of Spiritual Qi burst out of him. Yes, this time, it didn’t go inside him but rather burst out of him.

Because he wasn’t absorbing the Spiritual Qi from the surroundings but rather using the Spiritual Qi that he just acquired inside his dantian to clear the second meridian.

“Ahhhhh!”

But, he underestimated the amount of Spiritual Qi he had absorbed, or rather he could say that he underestimated the thirty percent of Spiritual Qi that he absorbed from Zhu Tan.

Although it was only thirty percent for Zhu Tan, it was almost three hundred percent for Fu Chen. Inside his body, the Spiritual Qi was flooding like a massive tsunami.

“Hahaha! Hahaha! Do you think your body can handle that much Qi? You must be an idiot to absorb my Spiritual Qi? Although I don’t know how you managed to transform my Spiritual Qi into pure Spiritual Qi, it doesn’t matter now.”

“Because now, you DIE.”

Zhu Tan’s words resounded around the arena like a thunderstorm. Everyone was shocked by this turn of events. For a moment, it felt like Fu Chen was going to win but now, it felt like he is going to die.

They couldn’t understand why did he do something so foolish?

At this moment, Xue Le clenched her fist as she stared at the man middle of the hurricane of Spiritual Qi. He was floating with the help of Spiritual Qi.

‘Tell me this is not the end, right? Tell me, you are not going to die here. Don’t you dare die here?’

Although she wanted to help him, if she does anything, it could be even more dangerous for Fu Chen. After all, she doesn’t know how to suck the Spiritual Qi out of him.

For that, she needs at least Top or Peak Rank Martial Art which she doesn’t have. She couldn’t help but look at the building where all the masters were gathered.

She didn’t understand why none of them were trying to help him.

Inside the building,

“Elder Zhu, why are you stopping us? Do you want a talented disciple like him to die?”

“Yeah! Even though he is a little foolish, we can still manage him. We can’t let him die here.”

“Elder Zhu, if you are not thinking for the sect, then you don’t deserve to be the elder.”

At this moment, the elders were shouting at Elder Zhu who was still in the middle of his cultivation but using his Spiritual Qi, he had blocked the entire building.

The elders couldn’t go out and save Fu Chen.

“Everyone stop!” Suddenly, Elder Wei roared and made everyone surprised. It was quite a surprise for them to see Elder Wei shout like this.

“Don’t fight, just look at him.”

At this moment, Elder Zhu opened his mouth and said “Fu Chen is right. Between the battle of ideology, Fu Chen has won against my grandson.”

At this moment, a miracle was happening in the middle of the arena. Fu Chen’s meridian was not just clear once, but the amount of Spiritual Qi was continuously clearing his meridian.

Even though the amount of pain that he is going through was immense, it didn’t even flinch him.

Boom!

A powerful burst of Spiritual Qi swept the surrounding.

Foundation Establishment Realm- Second Stage

Boom!

Another powerful burst of Spiritual Qi swept the surroundings again.

Second Stage- Middle Tier

Boom!

Another powerful burst of Spiritual Qi swept the surroundings again.

Second Stage-High Tier

Thud!

Slowly, Fu Chen landed on the ground as the dust of the Spiritual Qi swept away from him. He had no trace of injuries, no trace of laziness. Instead, he had a blazing fire of determination in his eyes.

He stared at the disbelief of Zhu Tan and opened his eyes.

“I told you before, more than a hundred times. Hard work always pays off!”

Suddenly, he took a step forward as Zhu Tan trembled and step back. But, the next moment, he stopped his foot and roared at Fu Chen.

“So what if you are right? So what if you had a breakthrough? In the age of cultivation, all those who rush forward without any ambition or plan are just foolish people.”

“They can only go as far as their destiny allows them. Restricted by talent! Restrict by hard work! I am not going to choose such a life. Even if I slack, even if I play, even if I disobey the rules, I will become the strongest without talent, without background, without hard work.”

Roar!

At this moment, his Rank First Martial Spirit came out of him and roared. The red tiger covered his body and roared at Fu Chen. At this moment, the half cloak of Spiritual Qi slowly followed into the Martial Spirit.

Shine!

Suddenly, a rune shone upon the eyes of the heart of the martial spirit. This rune was a strange symbol carrying an amazing power to him.

“You are right. Those who walk forward without any ambition or planning are foolish people. Those who think that hard work is also foolish people. So what if I am a foolish man? So what if I work hard? None of these would’ve mattered if I hadn’t awakened the Martial Spirit.”

“But, never in my life, did I doubt my hard work. Never in life, have I given up. Even though I was lucky to get an opportunity, I will always believe that hard work matters. Because as you said, I am a foolish man but I am a foolish man with AMBITION.”

Screech!

The roar came out of his Martial Spirit as it covered his body. The glistening blue scales were shining on his figure. But, it wasn’t the end. A red spiritual armor covered his body.

“It is my ultimate move. It transforms my blue qi into red qi. And, it is the beast among the monsters. Then, I shall call it.”

“Roaring Tiger Fourth Stance”

“Ultimate Red Beast!”

Bang!

The next moment, both of them rushed toward each other. Two tigers, one was big while another was smile, one had the overwhelming qi while another had overwhelming defense and offense.

Creech! Creech! Crack! Crack!

“Ahhhhhhh!”

At this moment, the crazy wave of Spiritual Qi burst out of their collision and spread out. Even the referee elder couldn’t block and it ended up affecting the audience.

“WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?”

“How is this a fight between two Second Stage cultivators?”

“This is absurd. This is totally absurd. How can they be so strong?”

At this moment, not just those outer disciples but even inner disciples were getting goosebumps.

Far away from the arena, there was a man floating in the sky. He had a grim smirk on his face. He was none other than the Sect Master.

“Two geniuses on each other’s throat. Even if one of them dies, it wouldn’t hamper the sect. Hmmm, but how should I do it? I can’t just kill him in front of every elder. I need to find a way.”

“Oh yeah! That would work. Even though that girl could warn him, it wouldn’t matter since his only goal is to get stronger.”

Slowly, his body drifted into the sky.

On the ground though, the battle between Zhu Tan and Fu Chen was reaching its pinnacle. The second collision of their fists broke the stage and Zhu Tan’s armor got cracked.

At this moment, he realized that not only Fu Chen’s armor was good at defense but it could also melt his armor on touch. It’s like having a defense that could do some offense.

The ultimate form of Roaring Tiger Stance. Here, he can shoot energy beams from every part of his body to move around. He not only made his armor with the first stance but also with the second, helping it reach the pinnacle in terms of attacks and defense.

It was certainly strong enough. But, he didn’t have a lot of Qi to continue this forever. During the third strike, he bent down and caught Zhu Tan’s arm. Although Zhu Tan wasn’t careless, he couldn’t see that coming since Fu Chen had been doing this for a while now.

Bang!

Holding his hand, he slammed Zhu Tan to the ground. Then, he jumped up in the sky and smacked Zhu Tan’s armor with his elbow.

“Gah!”

Inside the armor, Zhu Tan felt incredible pain and coughed out blood. Just when Fu Chen tried to attack with his fist, Zhu Tan caught his fist and suddenly his armor hand transformed into a sharp spear tip as he pushed it up.

Crack! Splash!
