And at that moment...
After they had put some distance between them...
The elder felt a tingling numbness in the palm of his right hand, and was utterly astonished.
After all, he knew this very well himself.
Although he had already suppressed his Soul Power to Level 30...
His body was still the same body.
The physical strength of a Titled Douluo was no joke.
So he had never dreamed that Ning Feng would knock him back in a head-on clash.
Even less had he expected the power of Ning Feng's last strike to be so formidable.
He carefully sensed it...
It seemed that the explosive force behind Ning Feng's punch had, with the combined effect of those three enhancement Soul Skills, come close to the level of a Level 40 Power Attack System Soul Master.
The elder couldn't help thinking in amazement, This kid... is kind of a monster...
Meanwhile, in a corner of the Main Hall...
Watching this scene, Du Busi's eyes shone with ever-growing excitement.
"Impressive, kid."
Du Busi couldn't help murmuring under his breath, his voice full of approval.
"You actually managed to knock that stubborn old fool back. Let's see what excuse he has left to stop them this time."
Du Busi had been about to wave his hand and call a halt, declare the test over, and send Ning Feng and the other two off on their mission.
However, things in the middle of the Main Hall didn't go as he expected.
After that last strike...
Ning Feng didn't retreat or put away his Martial Soul. He maintained his Three Heads and Six Arms form, eyes closed and breathing incredibly steadily—a sharp contrast to his ferocious attack just moments earlier.
Then Ning Feng raised his arms again and launched several more heavy punches.
The elder furrowed his brows and called out to Ning Feng, "Stop. That last move was powerful enough. You've passed."
He wasn't an unreasonable person. The strike Ning Feng had just landed was already enough to pass his test.
So he saw no need to continue.
But Ning Feng didn't respond at all.
It was as if he hadn't heard the elder. He kept up his high-speed assault, and the trajectory of every punch grew more bizarre.
Vina noticed that something was wrong. Her expression grew tense. "What's wrong with junior brother? In this state... could he have lost control of his cultivation?"
Du Busi frowned as well, his gaze fixed firmly on Ning Feng.
But after watching for a moment, his face suddenly filled with shock, and a look of disbelief flashed through his eyes.
"No, this isn't a loss of control."
Du Busi shouted to the elder.
"Old fool, don't stop! Keep feeding him moves!"
The elder heard Du Busi's order. Though puzzled, he knew Du Busi well.
Seeing how grave Du Busi looked, he immediately realized that Ning Feng's current state was extraordinary.
"This kid... has actually entered Unity of Heaven and Man?" The elder finally understood, and his expression grew solemn.
He knew Ning Feng had entered a special state of perception.
In this state, a Soul Master's control over Soul Power, awareness of their surroundings, and understanding of force and technique could all improve exponentially.
So the elder said no more. He adjusted his rhythm and focused on defending against Ning Feng's attacks and countering them.
He didn't try to overpower Ning Feng. Instead, he acted like a sparring partner, landing each move precisely where Ning Feng was vulnerable and guiding him to correct his movements.
With the elder's cooperation, Ning Feng's fist intent began to rise rapidly.
His punches grew more powerful, and his angles of attack became more and more unpredictable. Through repeated practice and clashes, his initially clumsy moves became smooth and effortless.
Mu Xue and Vina stood to one side, watching in astonishment.
"Junior brother... he's so strong!" Mu Xue murmured.
"This is Unity of Heaven and Man." Du Busi sighed from behind them, his hands clasped behind his back.
"Most people might never enter this special state even once in their lives. I can't believe he's reached it at such a young age."
"This is a tremendous opportunity for him. He has to make the most of it, because he may only get this one chance in his entire life."
At that moment, Ning Feng's condition changed again.
As the fight continued, a dim metallic sheen appeared on the surface of his skin, making his whole body seem much harder.
A look of surprise flashed through the elder's eyes. "Steel Tendons and Iron Bones? When did this kid learn this intermediate combat technique?"
Vina quietly explained, "Junior brother had already learned it half a month ago. He just hadn't had a chance to use it until now."
At her words, Du Busi's furrowed brows relaxed, and his eyes lit up. "This kid's got something!"
Ning Feng had given him far too many surprises.
Before the elder could recover from his astonishment, Ning Feng's attacks changed again.
His six arms, which had been normal in length, suddenly stretched outward as he struck.
The sudden change in their length extended the range of his attacks, leaving the elder nowhere to dodge.
Then the six eyes on Ning Feng's three heads fixed on the elder. The space around them seemed to be compressed by some sort of mental force, visibly warping.
The elder was even more shocked as he recognized the moves. "Telescopic Fist? And Mental Distortion Field? He actually learned these two combat techniques as well?"
Du Busi could no longer stay seated. He abruptly turned to Vina. "When did he learn these two combat techniques?"
Vina looked just as bewildered. She shook her head. "I don't know about those two either."
But Du Busi was overwhelmed with joy.
In just four months, he had learned the Body Sect's secret arts and three combat techniques—and he could even create his own techniques?
The sect had truly struck gold this time!
And judging from Ning Feng's performance, Du Busi realized he wasn't limited to physical combat. He could even follow the mental combat path.
For example, he could use his three heads to exert mental pressure while his six arms delivered physical attacks. That would make him extremely difficult to deal with in battle.
Meanwhile, Ning Feng remained immersed in Unity of Heaven and Man.
He wasn't overwhelmed by the number of moves he knew. Instead, he was gradually integrating each technique he had just used.
His awareness clearly captured every move the elder made, and he reconstructed the logic behind the different combat techniques in his mind.
The next moment, the power Ning Feng had been building up burst forth completely.
"Angry Eyes: Eight Desolations Shattering Force!"
With a low growl, all six eyes on Ning Feng's three heads opened at once and glared at the elder.
A powerful mental wave spread out, warping the space in a small area ahead and making the elder's movements falter for an instant.
Then, without the slightest hesitation, the six arms brimming with terrifying power slammed into the elder's chest all at once.
The elder was sent flying again, his expression completely transformed.
"He's integrated all of those techniques!"
