"Bang... Boom..." Ren Jie heavily punched the Thousand Layer Tree. Even a full-force punch from someone at the fifth level of the Body Refining Realm could only shatter one layer of the Thousand Layer Tree's outer bark, but Ren Jie's punch directly shattered three layers. These layers were thin but incredibly tough.
Moreover, the inner layers were stronger and more resilient. The innermost layer required a full-force punch from someone at the ninth level of the Body Refining Realm to shatter it.
"Bang... Bang..." In the next moment, Ren Jie's footwork changed, and he mastered the position of each punch with incredible accuracy, as if he had practiced it thousands of times.
Soon, he had passed through the one hundred and eight Thousand Layer Tree stumps. Then, he changed his position and attacked again from other directions.
The Smiling Old Man was already dumbfounded. He hadn't cared when he let this kid in earlier, but now that he had rushed in, he was so excited.
It was as if he had gone red-eyed in the midst of a vast army. Moreover, he had never told anyone about this martial skill. How could he be as if he had been practicing it for a long time? What was going on?
Time passed bit by bit, and Ren Jie finally experienced the exhilarating feeling and power-driving effect that martial skills brought.
Ren Jie didn't know how many times he had struck, but after what felt like two days and one night, the Qi Strength Chains formed by the one hundred and forty-four Qi Strength Rings in his body, which he thought would take at least three to five days to break through, began to loosen. He could now completely resist the gravity and pressure within his body.
"Ah!" Entering a state of complete oblivion, Ren Jie had forgotten how much time had passed outside. When the third layer of the Jade Emperor Art Body Refining chapter finally reached its peak, Ren Jie also brought this set of martial skills to its limit.
With a sudden roar, his power instantly shattered the unique chain formation formed by the Qi Strength Rings in his body, and the gravity and pressure within his body vanished without a trace.
At that moment, Ren Jie felt as if a hundred-meter-high torrent of water had finally broken through the dam's barrier and erupted instantly.
Surging and turbulent, at this moment, the Qi Strength in his body was so smooth and refreshing that he couldn't help but roar.
"Boom... Boom... Boom..." At this moment, Ren Jie once again punched the tree stumps one after another.
Ren Jie didn't notice that it was already dawn. Only a dozen layers remained on those tree stumps; the rest had been shattered by Ren Jie.
At this moment, after Ren Jie's power completely erupted, his martial skills and power reached their peak. Although he had only broken through to the fourth layer of the Jade Emperor Art Body Refining chapter, the abundance of Qi Strength in his body was comparable to that of an ordinary ninth-level Body Refining Realm cultivator. The power of the Jade Emperor Art Body Refining chapter was also demonstrated at this moment. Refining the body with Qi and refining the body internally was far more direct than external pressure. Although Ren Jie had only cultivated for a short time, his physical strength was comparable to that of an ordinary ninth-level Body Refining Realm cultivator.
His physical strength, internal Qi Strength, and the unconscious mastery of this set of martial skills to its peak allowed Ren Jie to unleash the peak state of an ordinary ninth-level Body Refining Realm cultivator with every punch, even far exceeding that peak state.
The remaining dozen layers of bark on the Thousand Layer Trees completely shattered under Ren Jie's final punch.
The Smiling Old Man, who had been standing there watching the one hundred and eight Thousand Layer Trees being completely shattered by Ren Jie overnight, especially when he saw his state when he finally erupted, was already numb.
Because that night, he felt more shocked than seeing a Taiji Realm, or even a legendary Law God Realm cultivator take action.
He had planned to give him a month to cultivate, and considering that this guy used to be a playboy, he thought that he wouldn't work hard honestly. He would be satisfied if he could completely shatter these within three months.
But now... right before his eyes, without him saying anything, this kid was fighting so heartily.
Moreover, seeing Ren Jie's final eruption and the sudden surge of power, the Smiling Old Man immediately understood something.
Damn it, this little bastard was pretending. His previous power was due to suppression. He hadn't even noticed it. Could it really be because of that magical cultivation art?
Damn it, he had even tricked him!
But when he saw it later, he found that the punches Ren Jie threw at the end were somewhat different from what he wanted. It had changed. This kid had actually changed his punches.
This guy was too bold. Who did he think he was? Did he think he was his father? But seeing the power after Ren Jie's changes, the Smiling Old Man was completely speechless. It had increased... it had increased...
Although it was only the first part, and the latter part involving the combination with the Divine Power Realm's divine power hadn't been changed, this had already left the Smiling Old Man completely speechless.
"Awesome, what's the name of this martial skill?" After finishing, Ren Jie looked at the one hundred and eight Thousand Layer Trees that he had completely shattered and breathed a long sigh of relief.
He dared to be so casual because this Smiling Old Man was too strong, and he wanted to teach him something in this way. Whether he wanted to say it or not, Ren Jie didn't have to worry about him exposing his strength. Moreover, he just wanted to try it out at first, but then he broke through to the fourth layer of the Jade Emperor Art Body Refining chapter in one go, so he became even more casual.
"Battle Eight Directions Annihilation." Ren Jie suddenly asked, and the Smiling Old Man almost instinctively answered.
"Damn, the martial skill is already very close to a Supreme-Grade Martial Skill, but the name is really bad. Can't you change it to a more imposing name?" Hearing this, Ren Jie immediately said unhappily.
"The name is bad? Battle Eight Directions Annihilation, annihilating powerful enemies in all directions, how awesome is that? It's much better than your Ren Family's crappy martial skill, 'Battle Eight Directions'..." Hearing Ren Jie say that the name of his original martial skill was bad, the Smiling Old Man immediately exploded, but the next moment, he suddenly stopped.
"Wait, what did you say just now, you little bastard? You said that mine is already very close to a Supreme-Grade Martial Skill? Do you even know what a Supreme-Grade Martial Skill is? My Battle Eight Directions Annihilation is already a Supreme-Grade Martial Skill, and it's the best among Supreme-Grade Martial Skills." Compared to Ren Jie saying the name was bad, what made the Smiling Old Man even angrier was that Ren Jie actually said that his original martial skill was only very close to a Supreme-Grade Martial Skill. This was simply insulting him.
"The reason why a Supreme-Grade Martial Skill is called Supreme-Grade is because it's a martial skill that can still be used and exert powerful power even after reaching the Divine Power Realm. To put it bluntly, the peak of a martial skill, before the Divine Power is fully achieved, or even a martial skill used in conjunction with Divine Power, is called Supreme-Grade. Although yours is already very powerful, I think that after reaching the Divine Power Realm and using this, it should be difficult to contend with ordinary Divine Powers, right? It can only withstand and exert a portion of the Divine Power Realm's magic power, so I feel that it can't be called a Supreme-Grade Martial Skill yet. At least there are still many places to be changed." Above the True Qi Realm, involving some things about the Divine Power Realm, Ren Jie's current realm couldn't completely see through, but he already knew that there were some problems with the last parts of this set of martial skills. Although the power was very strong, it was still difficult to call it a Supreme-Grade Martial Skill, at least for now.
"Change your grandfather's ass. You, a little guy in the Body Refining Realm, actually said to change the cultivation art. Even if all the Elders of your family's Divine Power Realm came and saw my set of martial skills, they would have to kneel down. They wouldn't even be qualified to change it, and you dare to say you want to change mine..." The Smiling Old Man was so angry that he roared, really wanting to grab this bastard kid and beat him up, but halfway through his roar, he remembered some of the subtle changes Ren Jie made when he finally used Battle Eight Directions Annihilation.
Those changes made the power that Ren Jie finally unleashed much stronger than the Smiling Old Man had expected, at least 50% stronger.
Although he was very conceited, the Smiling Old Man also had one thing: wrong was wrong, and losing was losing.
Thinking of the places Ren Jie had changed, he suddenly wilted. The more he thought about it now, the more incredible he felt. Could it be that he suddenly had a feeling in his heart? Otherwise, how could he have changed it, and in such a short time? Moreover, changing a cultivation art involved too many things. How could he change it after just one night of fighting?
This guy was hiding some strength, but after all, he was still a little guy in the Body Refining Realm. How could he do such a monstrous thing? This was too monstrous.
"Who asked you to teach me?" Although it was only one night, Ren Jie had already somewhat grasped the Smiling Old Man's temperament. When a few words shocked and stunned him, Ren Jie suddenly asked a very casual and ordinary question, as if he was just chatting.
"If this king wasn't... uh..." The Smiling Old Man was tangled and angry when he suddenly heard Ren Jie's words and almost blurted out an answer, but fortunately, he reacted quickly enough.
"You little bastard, you dare to trick this king into talking?"
Ren Jie smiled and spread his hands, saying, "No, I was just asking a normal question."
The Smiling Old Man felt like he would be angered to death if he continued talking to this kid. Moreover, it was already gradually getting light, so without another word, he picked up Ren Jie and instantly shot into the sky.
Whether it was because the speed was too fast or the Smiling Old Man did it intentionally, Ren Jie felt a daze. In his confusion, it was like he was going to sleep as he had when he came. Half-asleep and half-awake, it was as if he had taken a nap.
"Bang..." When he opened his eyes again, he was flying towards his bed. The speed wasn't fast, and the gravity and pressure on Ren Jie's body had completely disappeared. He had just broken through to the fourth layer of the Body Refining chapter of the Jade Emperor Art, and his Qi Strength and physical strength were comparable to an ordinary Body Refining Realm ninth layer cultivator. He had also learned the Battle Eight Directions Annihilation. Although it was just a martial skill, it contained a great deal of information. Therefore, Ren Jie's body twisted violently in the air, avoiding the tragic fate of his face crashing into the wall.
Damn, this old man must be retaliating for me saying his name was terrible and that the Battle Eight Directions Annihilation he created wasn't a Supreme-Grade Martial Skill.
"I'll come find you next time, and I'll see how I deal with you..." The Smiling Old Man said at the door, one foot stepping out to leave, when he suddenly thought of something and hesitated.
"You said Battle Eight Directions Annihilation doesn't sound good. What good name do you have? If you can't come up with a good one, next time this king will strip you naked and throw you a hundred thousand miles away, and you can run back yourself."
I guessed right. Ren Jie sat up from the bed and looked at the Smiling Old Man, who had his back to him. "It contains the Ren Family's high-grade martial skill, Battle Eight Directions. The Ren Family's high-grade martial skill, Battle Eight Directions, also includes two sets of low-grade and middle-grade martial skills, suitable for all Ren Family disciples to learn. This martial skill is mainly used on the battlefield, so it's named Battle Eight Directions, simple, grand, and direct. But Battle Eight Directions Annihilation can be said to hide infinite killing intent under a broad and open routine, making it feel more like a technique specifically for killing people. If you want it to sound more murderous, you can call it Blood Annihilation, or you can name it according to your name or some meaning or implication of this technique. Even calling it Annihilation is much better than Battle Eight Directions Annihilation. Although the name is just a code and doesn't matter, this technique is quite good. If it's passed down, when people say, 'I'm learning such-and-such technique,' it would be bad if the name doesn't match the reality or is too unpleasant, right?"
"Not bad... not bad..." Upon hearing these three words, the Smiling Old Man's hand almost rose. He actually said that the technique I created was not bad, the detestable brat.
"Then it's called Annihilation. Such a broken martial skill isn't worthy of being named after this king's name and the things around me." After the Smiling Old Man finished speaking, he took a step, and in the next moment, he had disappeared without a trace.
