An Instant Kill with One Punch! The Young Lady Regretted It!

Xiao Han's fist struck true, landing squarely on a relatively weak point just below the side of the Iron-Armored Savage Bull's neck!

"Bang!"

The dull impact sounded like a heavy hammer striking a muffled drum. A powerful force visibly burst through its tough hide in an instant!

"Moo—argh!"

The Iron-Armored Savage Bull let out a bizarre bellow of pain and shock. Its body, as large as a small truck, jolted violently, and its forward charge came to an abrupt halt. The punch actually sent it staggering and skidding several steps backward!

Its heavy hooves scraped against the alloy floor, producing a piercing screech and a shower of sparks.

Its enormous head swayed uncontrollably, and a distinct look of confusion and dizziness flashed through its scarlet eyes. It was as though an invisible hammer had smashed into its forehead, briefly shutting down its entire nervous system.

Xiao Han gave the Iron-Armored Savage Bull no chance to catch its breath or recover!

The instant the bull staggered, before it could regain its footing, Xiao Han moved!

He tapped the ground with his toes and closed in like a phantom, moving so fast that he left a faint afterimage behind.

The Creation-Heaven-Penetrating Art did more than raise his qi, blood, and cultivation realm. It also gave him a tremendous boost in bodily control and explosive power.

His second punch followed close behind!

This punch seemed less earth-shattering than the first, but it was more concentrated and restrained. An invisible penetrating force seemed to swirl around his fist as it drove toward the area behind the Iron-Armored Savage Bull's left foreleg, close to its heart! The punch contained a special hidden force generated by the Creation-Heaven-Penetrating Art, giving it tremendous penetrating power!

"Pfft!"

This time, the sound was even duller, like a fist sinking into thick leather, or muffled thunder rolling through dark clouds.

The Iron-Armored Savage Bull's massive body went rigid. The violence and ferocity in its eyes vanished in an instant, replaced by utter lifelessness.

It did not even have time to let out a final wail. Its legs gave way, and with a crash, it slammed heavily onto the hard alloy floor, kicking up a cloud of dust.

It twitched twice, then went completely still, all signs of life gone.

From the moment the Iron-Armored Savage Bull charged menacingly through the alloy gates to the moment its massive body crashed to the ground, the entire exchange had been so fast it made one's eyes spin. It had probably taken less than ten seconds!

Even more unbelievably, Xiao Han had not even summoned his Martial Soul the entire time!

Using nothing but his physical strength, he had taken down a Martial Artist Realm First Level exotic beast famed for its defense and charging power in just two punches!

The entire examination grounds fell deathly silent in an instant.

A pin could have been heard dropping.

Whether they were the martial artists who had gathered to watch the spectacle, some even looking down on him, or the young people who had been anxiously waiting for their own examinations, everyone now seemed to have been frozen by a spell. Their eyes were wide, their mouths hung open, and their faces were filled with disbelief and shock!

An instant kill?

A Martial Artist Realm First Level Iron-Armored Savage Bull had actually been killed in under ten seconds, barehanded, by a youth who looked no older than eighteen?!

Was this a fucking movie?! Or were their eyes playing tricks on them?!

Quite a few people instinctively rubbed their eyes, checking again and again to confirm the massive dark figure lying motionless on the ground and the straight-backed, calm-faced youth standing beside it.

The truth was right before their eyes, beyond dispute!

The stern-faced examiner was the first to recover. His eyes also shone with profound shock, but his professionalism brought him quickly back to his senses.

He hurried over and crouched down to carefully examine the fallen Iron-Armored Savage Bull, confirming that it had indeed completely lost its ability to fight. Its vital signs were even extremely weak; it was not far from death.

He looked up sharply at Xiao Han. The scrutiny and faint surprise in his gaze had now been completely replaced by something close to horror!

Is this kid a monster?!

The Fourth Level of the Martial Artist Realm! The qi and blood fluctuations he unleashed just now were definitely at the Fourth Level of the Martial Artist Realm! And his foundation is frighteningly solid! Most importantly, he's only eighteen! He only awakened his Martial Soul yesterday?!

The examiner took a deep breath and tried to calm his roiling emotions. His voice carried a barely perceptible tremor, but his announcement was exceptionally clear. "Examination... passed!"

After a pause, he looked at Xiao Han's almost excessively calm face and added, emphasizing the words, "Rating... perfect!"

A perfect rating! That was extremely rare in the martial artist certification examination!

Usually, only geniuses whose strength far exceeded the examination standard and who completed the task with crushing ease could obtain one!

Meanwhile, in a control room above and to the side of the examination grounds, equipped with comprehensive surveillance equipment.

The young lady who had received Xiao Han earlier, a woman with a rather shapely figure but a professional air of detachment on her face, was staring openmouthed at everything happening on the monitor.

Her little mouth hung open wide enough to fit an egg.

When she saw Xiao Han dodge the first charge as though strolling leisurely through a courtyard, she had only been somewhat surprised.

But when she saw Xiao Han advance instead of retreating and knock the Iron-Armored Savage Bull down in just two punches, she instinctively covered her mouth with her hand. Her beautiful eyes went round, as though she had seen something that overturned her entire worldview.

On the screen, the youth lowered his fist and stood straight, his handsome face calm, in stark contrast to the dumbfounded onlookers around him.

Her little face flushed scarlet in an instant, and her heart began pounding wildly, refusing to behave.

She could not help recalling her earlier attitude, slightly dismissive and perfunctory, and her private judgment that Xiao Han could not possibly pass the examination...

"You only just awakened your Martial Soul, and you're already here for martial artist certification?"

"Take this form and go sit the martial artist certification examination. If you pass, come back and find me..."

"What a shame he's only eighteen. How could he possibly pass martial artist certification..."

The words she had said before now struck her face like a series of stinging slaps.

Heavens! What did I just do?!

I completely misjudged him!

An unparalleled genius, so young and handsome, and with strength monstrous to this extent—and I thought he was just a high schooler who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, trying his luck?!

He wasn't here to try his luck. He was clearly here to deliver a dimensionality-reduction strike!

For a moment, regret, shock, and a trace of inexplicable embarrassment tangled together, turning her cheeks even redder, almost as though blood might drip from them.

She did not even dare imagine what expression she should wear when Xiao Han returned with proof that he had passed and came to her to have his badge processed.

Inside the examination grounds, faced with the examiner's "perfect" rating and the awed, shocked gazes around him that seemed ready to swallow him whole.

Xiao Han merely shook out his hand casually, as though he had just swatted a somewhat stronger fly to death rather than a ferocious Warrior Realm exotic beast.
