Fang Hong's True Strength, Zhao Tianchen's Shock!!

In front of the wooden house.

Fang Hong was bare-chested, with tattered shorts on his lower body.

His body had returned to normal, but all his clothes had been torn to shreds by his full-power burst just now.

He was currently grimacing as he rubbed the bruises on his body.

At this moment, Fang Hong looked rather pathetic.

His left eye socket was completely bruised, and his body was covered in bruises.

As he rubbed, Fang Hong looked at Zhao Tianchen with a wronged expression.

"Master, are you going back on your word?"

"Didn't you promise to let me attack with full power and that you'd control your strength?"

"Why are you retaliating afterward?"

Hearing Fang Hong's words, Zhao Tianchen couldn't help but blush, but he still put up a tough front.

"Retaliation? Am I that kind of person?"

"Besides, who says I didn't control my strength?"

"What? You're allowed to attack with full power, but I'm not allowed to fight back?"

"Do you think your opponents will all be dead when you face them?"

Zhao Tianchen said stubbornly, raising his eyebrows.

In reality, Zhao Tianchen was incredibly shocked at this moment.

Because of Fang Hong's powerful vitality, Zhao Tianchen had already prepared himself mentally.

He knew that Fang Hong's true strength was definitely not just the Outer Organ Perfection he displayed.

But even though he had already mentally raised his expectations of Fang Hong's strength, the result still fell short.

He never imagined that his disciple's true strength would be this terrifying.

Unimaginable!

He was truly a monstrous talent!

Just now, Fang Hong had unleashed his strongest, full-power attack without any reservation.

And Zhao Tianchen, due to his carelessness and underestimating Fang Hong's strength beforehand, had been directly sent flying by Fang Hong's strike.

He wasn't even injured.

But it was still an incredible feat, even shocking Zhao Tianchen to some extent.

However, while he was shocked at the time, he had also lost a lot of face.

He had confidently told Fang Hong to attack with full power, only to be sent flying by him.

This truly made his old face feel a bit unbearable.

So, as soon as he recovered, he immediately proceeded to beat Fang Hong soundly.

Under the guise of helping Fang Hong get used to the upcoming Sect Grand Competition matches.

Although Fang Hong's strength was formidable when he unleashed his full power.

How could he possibly be a match for this old monster who was also disrespectful of his elders and disregarded their prior agreement, increasing his strength?

He could only be pitifully and helplessly beaten by him.

Fang Hong pouted, feeling speechless. "Master, do you take me for a fool?"

"You didn't increase your strength when you beat me later?"

"I saw it with my own eyes, don't lie to me. Was that strength something a normal Earth Realm cultivator could possess?"

"Do you dare say you weren't deliberately retaliating and taking personal revenge?"

Fang Hong complained resentfully.

"You unfilial disciple, you dare to slander your master?"

"It seems my education has been insufficient."

Zhao Tianchen huffed and puffed, his eyes wide.

Hearing this, Fang Hong immediately conceded. "No, that's enough, it's more than enough. I've fully experienced your teachings, Master."

"I think I'll need a considerable amount of time to properly digest your teachings."

Although Fang Hong had only just joined the sect and become Zhao Tianchen's disciple a few days ago.

He was living with Zhao Tianchen and spending time with him day and night.

He had a rough understanding of Zhao Tianchen's personality and temper.

This old man was a thick-skinned and heavy-handed fellow, and he was also very concerned about his reputation.

If he didn't back down, he figured he'd get another beating.

This was Fang Hong's first time having a master.

He didn't know if his master-disciple relationship with Zhao Tianchen was considered normal.

He wondered if other master-disciple pairs in the Star River Sect had the same kind of relationship as he and Zhao Tianchen did.

But he himself felt that his relationship with Zhao Tianchen had progressed very quickly, even rapidly.

In just a few days, he felt a sense of closeness.

He wasn't sure if it was because the "talent" he'd shown was high enough, or because he was the hope for Zhao Tianchen to make up for his regrets.

Fang Hong himself didn't know.

However, regarding this closeness between him and Zhao Tianchen.

He actually felt it was quite good.

In fact, it wasn't just him; Zhao Tianchen actually felt the same way.

His relationship with Fang Hong had become close too quickly.

It had only been a few short days, yet it felt like they had been master and disciple for decades.

The reason was not much different from what Fang Hong had guessed.

Because Fang Hong was his hope for making up for past regrets and cultivating the techniques created by his own son, he paid great attention to and cared for Fang Hong.

Secondly, after witnessing Fang Hong's terrifyingly unbelievable "talent."

Zhao Tianchen knew very well that Fang Hong would likely break through to the Heaven Realm before long, becoming an existence on the same level as himself.

Therefore, Zhao Tianchen's attitude towards Fang Hong had never been condescending.

Nor did he intentionally put on airs or adopt a master's posture.

Instead, he treated Fang Hong as an equal.

Coupled with some other factors.

Zhao Tianchen himself hadn't realized it, but he seemed to have unconsciously projected some of his feelings for his deceased son onto Fang Hong.

He was like a teacher and a friend, like a father and a son, like a brother and a sibling.

That's why their relationship had become so close, progressing so rapidly.

"Alright, stop being glib."

Seeing Fang Hong's resentful, dejected expression, Zhao Tianchen happily waved his hand.

"I have a general understanding of your strength."

"Your current strength should have reached the seventh level of the Earth Realm."

"Even if you do nothing now, and even if you don't need my help to arrange opponents for you, your current strength is enough to enter the top ten."

"You know, the fourth True Disciple of Myriad Star Peak is also at the seventh level of the Earth Realm."

"Your current strength is already no weaker than his."

Zhao Tianchen's eyes were full of pleasant surprise as he said this.

Why was it that none of the disciples he had taken in before were as worry-free as this one?

"However, I see that your martial skill level seems to be relatively low, which also limits your strength to a certain extent."

"If I teach you a few martial skills, your strength will definitely be much higher than it is now."

As he spoke, Zhao Tianchen turned and walked back into the wooden house to get the secret manuals.

Fang Hong, meanwhile, secretly sighed. No wonder it's low. My offensive martial skills are still only at the Bone Refinement level.

He had only been here for a short time since joining, and apart from the Southern Dipper Body Shaping Method yesterday, he hadn't practiced any other techniques or martial skills.

But it felt great to be a disciple of a big shot.

If he lacked anything, the big shot would immediately help him fix it.

He'd heard that within the Star River Sect, ordinary disciples had to complete missions and earn merit points to exchange for them at the Scripture Pavilion if they wanted to cultivate other techniques.

And even then, they could only exchange for relatively ordinary martial skills and techniques.

Without significant contributions, they basically couldn't exchange for truly profound techniques.

This was because the merit points required for those techniques were too high.

And now, his martial skill level was just low, and his master had immediately gone to get him some.

The difference was truly worlds apart, making one sigh.

Meanwhile, Zhao Tianchen, who had just walked into the wooden house.

After retrieving an old martial arts manual from his room.

He also pulled open the collar of his shirt, looking at the faint, almost invisible white mark on his chest.

A look of astonishment reappeared in his eyes.

That was the mark left by Fang Hong's attack just now.

Although it hadn't broken through his defenses, and it was also because he had been too careless at the time, underestimating Fang Hong, and had also controlled his own strength.

But this was still very remarkable.

He was in the Earth Realm.

The gap between the Earth Realm and the Heaven Realm was something that people who hadn't broken through to the Heaven Realm could never understand.

It wasn't just a gap in strength, but a gap in life levels.

Just as the words implied.

Breaking through from the Earth Realm to the Heaven Realm was like ascending to heaven in a single step!

And Fang Hong, who was only at the peak of Organ Refinement, had already managed to leave such a small white mark on him.

This was enough to illustrate the terrifying strength of Fang Hong.

Even if he said it out loud, no one would believe him.

Thinking of this, Zhao Tianchen shook his head and smiled again.

His disciple's talent was too monstrous and terrifying, which was also a cause for worry.

More importantly, he had to hurry up and deal with his disciple.

Otherwise, it probably wouldn't take much time.

He might not even be his opponent anymore.

Thinking of this, Zhao Tianchen himself started to laugh.

Shaking his head, Zhao Tianchen walked out of the wooden house, holding the martial arts manual.

Under the sunlight, one could see four ancient characters printed on the cover of the old manual.

"Seven Star Seal Method"!!
