Fist Breaks Tekkai!

"Good... very good. Lei Meng has roamed the martial world for many years, and this is the first time I've encountered such a reckless junior. If you want to die, I'll grant it. Are you ready?"

A cold light flashed in Lei Meng's eyes as he spoke in an icy tone.

Lei Meng was furious. In his eyes, Tang Jie was deliberately trying to disrupt the proceedings. Since that was the case, he wouldn't be blamed for showing no mercy!

"Come on, give it your all!"

Tang Jie stood his ground, letting Lei Meng make the first move.

The hundreds of martial artists present watched the scene in the arena with strange expressions. In their opinion, Tang Jie was simply courting death. If he were killed, it would be a meaningless death!

"Then I'll grant your wish!"

A cold light flashed in Lei Meng's eyes. He let out a sudden low roar, and a surge of powerful energy erupted.

"Riiip!"

Lei Meng's upper body clothes were torn apart by the sheer force, revealing a body of muscles. Every muscle on Lei Meng's body was like a rock, faintly gleaming with a metallic luster, giving off an impression of unbreakable hardness!

"Lei Meng's Hard Qi Cultivation is even stronger than ten years ago!"

Seeing this, Bai Yuanhua's expression turned solemn. He had fought Lei Meng ten years ago, and he had won that battle. However, Lei Meng now was far stronger than he was a decade ago.

With Lei Meng's two-meter height and his rock-like muscles, he didn't look human at all, but rather like a Demonic Beast, a powerful Demonic Beast.

"Roar!"

Lei Meng let out a low roar. He stomped his foot, creating a deep, inches-wide footprint in the hard stone ground. He then roared and lunged at Tang Jie, his fist, nearly twice the size of a normal person's, smashing towards Tang Jie's chest!

Lei Meng's entire two-meter-tall body was like a ferocious beast; his mere aura was enough to instill fear and crush any will to resist!

Hiss!

As the punch was thrown, the air itself seemed to crackle. The hard fist rubbed against the air, causing faint wisps of white smoke to rise.

Having cultivated Hard Qi Cultivation, Lei Meng's fists were incomparably hard, unlike those of ordinary people. They were like massive iron blocks. With the same force, a bare fist and an iron block hitting someone would have vastly different lethality.

Provoked by Tang Jie, Lei Meng had unleashed nine-tenths of his strength with this punch, holding nothing back. He wanted everyone to know the consequences of daring to mock him, Lei Meng!

Many people couldn't bear to watch what was about to happen. Taking a punch from Lei Meng head-on, even a martial artist skilled in external conditioning techniques would likely die.

"Bang!"

The punch landed squarely on Tang Jie's chest with a muffled thunderous explosion, as if it were about to shatter Tang Jie's body.

But then, something astonishing happened. Tang Jie didn't fly backward as expected. Instead, he stood rooted to the spot, taking Lei Meng's punch without budging an inch!

If not for the muffled sound of the punch hitting Tang Jie's chest, the many martial artists would have thought Lei Meng had held back his strength!

"H-how is that possible? Even a Demonic Beast as powerful as the Sect Master wouldn't be unharmed after taking a punch like that!"

"M-maybe he's already internally injured and just putting on a brave face!"

The many martial artists of Xuan Shi Gate widened their eyes at this sight, finding it hard to believe that Tang Jie had actually withstood Lei Meng's heavy blow!

"N-impossible! I used nine-tenths of my strength with that punch, yet he took it without even circulating his inner strength, purely using his body to withstand my attack?"

Lei Meng, however, was the most shocked. He was utterly horrified. He had put ninety percent of his strength into that punch. Having cultivated Hard Qi Cultivation to its peak, his punch carried a force of tens of thousands of pounds! Even a Demonic Beast with a strong physique would not be able to emerge unscathed from such a blow!

Yet, Tang Jie had taken his punch purely with his body, without even activating his protective inner strength. It was as if... Tang Jie's body was even tougher than that of a Demonic Beast!

"So-so... it only caused me a slight sting." Tang Jie frowned, unsatisfied with Lei Meng's performance. Lei Meng's punch felt like a child hitting an adult; the force was too small, only causing him minor pain and barely shaking him!

It wasn't that Lei Meng was too weak, but rather that Tang Jie's body had become incredibly formidable. Every inch of his body was filled with Pure Yang Boyhood Qi, enhancing all his physical capabilities. Not to mention that the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art had reached the eleventh level of its ultimate third stage, making Tang Jie's physique several times stronger than a peak first-tier Demonic Beast.

Even ordinary people with knives would find it difficult to cut through Tang Jie's muscles!

"Big Brother Tang... easily took Lei Meng's punch? Even Father couldn't do that!"

This sight astonished Bai Fenghua. Her father, Bai Yuanhua, was one of the top Martial Arts Grandmasters among all the martial artists in Peerless City, yet even he couldn't withstand a punch from the immensely powerful Lei Meng with just his body.

"Good!"

Bai Yuanhua's eyes lit up, and he praised him profusely. He knew from his battle with Lei Meng ten years ago that Lei Meng's strength was not undeserved. But the Tang Jie before him was even more unfathomable. Not only did he possess profound inner strength, but he also seemed to have cultivated some external conditioning technique, allowing him to withstand Lei Meng's heavy punch with his body!

A flicker of disappointment crossed Tang Jie's eyes as he said, "You're done. It's my turn now!"

"Crack, crack!"

As he spoke, Tang Jie clenched his five fingers into a fist. The air seemed to explode between his fingers, emitting a series of cracking sounds. Within Tang Jie's body, it was as if a Dragon Elephant was roaring; the next strike would undoubtedly be earth-shattering!

"What?"

Lei Meng's expression changed drastically. He wanted to dodge, but he remembered the rules he had set. In front of so many disciples, if he dodged, he would utterly lose face and find it impossible to establish himself in Peerless City.

"Boom!"

Tang Jie gathered his strength and suddenly threw a punch. As this punch was unleashed, it was as if a fierce wind had been stirred up. Before the fist even landed, Lei Meng felt a gust of wind hitting his face!

This made Lei Meng secretly regret setting such a rule, but it was too late to say anything now. He could only grit his teeth and brace himself!

"Hard Qi Cultivation!"

Lei Meng roared, pushing his cultivated Hard Qi Cultivation to its absolute limit. The muscles all over his body became even harder, like rock and metal. His arms, as thick as an adult's thigh, were placed in front of his chest, ready to meet Tang Jie's fist head-on!

"Bang!"

Under the gaze of hundreds of martial artists, Tang Jie's fist slammed heavily onto Lei Meng's arms guarding his chest, exploding with a thunderous roar!

In that moment, Lei Meng was utterly stunned. The sensation he felt from Tang Jie's punch instantly brought back memories of his childhood.

When Lei Meng was a child, he was playing in the street when a speeding carriage hit him, sending him flying. Many of his bones were broken. Fortunately, his physique was unusual, which saved his life. Now, being hit by Tang Jie's punch felt exactly the same as being struck by that carriage as a child!

"Crack, crack, crack!"

Lei Meng's arms made popping sounds like popping beans. His burly body was sent flying backward. The overbearing fist energy had broken both his arms and struck his chest, causing him to spew blood from his mouth.

Bang!

Lei Meng's two-meter-tall body was sent soaring, flying backward nearly twenty meters before crashing heavily onto the ground.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Lei Meng's eyes widened. He tried to get up from the ground, but the piercing pain in his arms and chest made him cough repeatedly, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.

"Monster..."

Finally, Lei Meng managed to force out two words with great difficulty. He could no longer hold on. His head lolled to the side, and he completely fainted, losing consciousness!
