Your Master Will Always Be Your Master!
Is this... the end?
The explorers were stunned as they stared at the empty arena and Rolf, who had returned to the opposite side with a blank look in his eyes.
Old Yuan has Crisscross the cultivation world for decades. Although he has rarely made a move in recent years, his legend continues to circulate in the martial arts world.
However, legends are just legends, and there's a difference between seeing something with your own eyes. Everyone knows that Old Yuan is very strong, but no one in the new generation has witnessed just how strong he really is.
This time, the Mediterranean old man truly brought a small shock to these young people regarding the Foundation Establishment Realm.
With just one punch, he shattered Rolf to pieces!
Moreover, according to their perception, this punch did not have any additional power; it was purely a physical attack relying on the hardness provided by the brass knuckles!
A single physical attack turned a top-tier Martial Combat Faction into mincemeat?
If Foundation Establishment Realm possesses such terrifying power, one can only imagine how terrifying Old Yuan must have been at his Peak!
After witnessing this move, even Zhuge Chi, who was at the Peak Realm, felt a chill run down his spine.
Is this Master's strength? Luo Jun looked at the expressionless Old Yuan opposite him and began to calculate in his mind.
Cultivating the Body Tempering Art will increase one's Root Bone by up to 100% with each level. My Master said that he also has a 100% increase, and with seven levels maxed out, it should be 128 times...
After cultivating to the Qi Foundation Establishment Realm, one will enter a state of releasing Qi outwards. The Qi that could originally only circulate within the body will form Inner and Outer Great Circulation after leaving the body, providing protection while greatly increasing the amplification of power.
Normally, the circulation of the inner Qi will amplify physical strength to two to three times its original level. After reaching the first level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, the formation of the Inner and Outer Great Circulation will increase this by 50%. After that, the focus of cultivation will shift from tempering the body to increasing the Protective Qi Strength, with each level increasing it by another 50%. Therefore, for someone in the Foundation Establishment Realm, the difference in strength displayed whether or not they have activated their Qi can be more than tenfold!
According to Old Yuan, the Body Tempering Art also amplifies one's Qi by 100%.
In other words, at the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, he experienced a 128-fold increase!
Assuming that Old Yuan's Innate Potential was ordinary, then after reaching the seventh level of the Qi Cultivation Realm, his acquired talent would be 128 times greater. After the Acquired Potential through the Inner Heaven Circulation, conservatively estimated to increase by only one time, that would be 256 times his strength. On this basis, multiply by the 128 times amplification of the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment Realm!
Thirty-two thousand seven hundred and sixty-eight times!
The power that Master can unleash when he fully activates his inner energy!
The Ruyi Jingu Bang) weighs only a little over 10,000 jin (approximately 5,000 kg), but in his hands, it's lighter than a bamboo pole for an ordinary person to wield...
And this is just the most conservative estimate... If his Innate Potential is two or three times that of an ordinary person... If the increase in his inner energy reaches 2.5 or even 3 times, this number will rise even higher, possibly exceeding 100,000!
A force equivalent to tens of thousands of tons!
In Luo Jun's eyes, his Master had always been a somewhat strict but also kind and gentle elder, giving him a long-lost feeling of facing his grandfather.
Even in his fantasies, Luo Jun had never considered his Master as a potential enemy, and therefore had never seriously calculated his master's possible strength! Now, finally on opposing sides, after doing the calculations, Luo Jun was completely dumbfounded...
Even at full power, he only has a force in the thousand-ton range, still a whole order of magnitude less than his Master!
Rolf's strength should be no less than Tie Jingang's, and even stronger than Hank Holy Knight Hank of the Holy See he had fought before... Luo Jun asked himself, if the Holy Knight didn't rely on equipment, he could easily win, but to achieve this effect with a single punch was absolutely impossible!
Even with the same strength, the presence or absence of internal energy makes a world of difference, not to mention the gap in equipment and experience...
If he were to face his Master, he would have absolutely no chance of winning!
He looked at Zhuge Chi and found that the other was also looking at him. Both of them could see the unease in each other's eyes.
This guy wasn't sure either.
"Well... at least it won't be Old Yuan in the next match..." Jin Fei chuckled awkwardly, trying to smooth things over... "So, who will we send in the next match?"
"Zhuge Chi has already played before." Mu Ning looked at Luo Jun: "Can Ye guarantee a win against anyone other than Old Yuan?"
Luo Jun waved his hand. "I need to make some preparations, let Zhuge Chi go instead."
Zhuge Chi frowned, then nodded. "You have a way to deal with him?"
The person being referred to was, of course, the powerful Old Yuan.
"Not sure, but we can give it a try..."
Zhuge Chi nodded. "Alright, how long do you need?"
Luo Jun assessed his internal condition. "I don't know, but it will take at least several hours..."
"A few hours..." Zhuge Chi frowned. "According to the rules, theoretically it can be delayed. But..."
After a battle, Zhuge Chi also discovered that after leaving the arena, the damage to his body and the loss of his vital energy would recover, but only to the level before the battle. He still needed to eat and drink normally, and he could not recover from mental fatigue.
Zhuge Chi hesitated for a moment, then finally shook his head. "Don't worry, I'll stay until you finish."
"Thank you." Luo Jun nodded, walked to the side, sat cross-legged with his Five Hearts Facing Heaven, and began to organize his last bit of vital energy.
In the next match, Zhuge Chi entered the game, facing off against Holy Knight Jason. This time, Zhuge Chi changed his tactics, focusing on roaming and stalling until the time limit was approaching before finally taking action to finish off his opponent.
Meanwhile, Luo Jun was trying his best to channel the remaining power within his body.
After a day or two, the vital energy in his body had been almost completely restored. His original plan was that after rescuing his Master, the old man would guide him to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm... but he didn't expect to encounter this situation. There was no other way but to try to break through on his own.
Although he didn't have his Master's guidance, the basic cultivation methods for the Foundation Establishment Realm were commonplace, and he had already seen them. Although his Master had said that with the foundation of the Body Tempering Art, he could no longer cultivate conventional Cultivation Method, Luo Jun held the Dice of Heavenly Secrets in his hand and decided to gamble on that slim probability.
With Double Insurance, Intermediate Point Correction, and two Regret to undo the roll after the refresh, Luo Jun was confident he could roll successfully unless it was Mandatory Event!
Upon reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, not only will my output increase significantly, but with the protection of my inner energy, my strength will also grow substantially. If I were to add the aid of the dice, perhaps I could even fight my Master...
This is the only way...
As the battles on the field went by, Old Yuan and Zhuge Chi from both sides basically took turns playing every other match, so in the end, it was always the same few people switching back and forth between the two sides.
Luo Jun, offstage, was working hard to overcome one obstacle after another. Finally, he managed to sort out the last chaotic energy. His meridians were now filled with unprecedented energy, and he had reached the final bottleneck.
Get ready to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm... wait?
A familiar feeling welled up within him, and Luo Jun opened his eyes wide in disbelief. He carefully examined himself several times to confirm it was true, before hesitantly summoning the dice and selecting the event...
"Breakthrough to Body Refinement Realm Eighth Layer!"
