Chapter 505 - 287: Long Wei and Dragon Power, the Origins of Wang Chan!

"Too weak... Or is that White Dragon Power too strong?"

Su Mu couldn’t help but ponder this question.

Earlier, he had closed his eyes to contemplate and infer the opportunity he gained from Bai Jiao Mountain, attempting to fuse that trace of Long Wei and Dragon Power into a single punch.

Judging from everyone’s comments and reactions, Zhou Hai shouldn’t be weak, moreover, he was mentioned in the booklet given to him by Li Linfeng—not a small figure at all.

Su Mu’s reminder for Zhou Hai to exert his full strength was to thoroughly test the Bai Jiao Mountain opportunity, since leveraging one’s aptitude for inference remains theoretical until tested in practice.

"Perhaps this person was indeed too weak..."

Su Mu thought to himself, looking at the unconscious Zhou Hai, feeling disappointed as he had intended to test a few more punches on him.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Hai couldn’t even withstand one punch.

"Nonetheless, the White Dragon Power is indeed mighty!"

That seemingly simple punch without utilizing any fist techniques wasn’t as simple as it appeared. At least, no one present could perceive its intricacies.

The punch was blended with Su Mu’s unique Fist Momentum, which is one of the keys for a martial artist to open the path to the Upper Three Grade Grandmasters, undeniably powerful.

But mere Fist Momentum wasn’t enough to achieve such a devastating impact.

Thus, as he launched the punch, Su Mu also infused it with the Dragon of Spiritual Power from his consciousness sea, the Long Wei of the Flood Dragon that had transcended most of the Tribulation, yet perished under the last bolt, with its might already having transformed into substantial Long Wei.

Long Wei could be said to dominate from the outset; under its suppression, Su Mu could clearly feel the sudden stagnation of Zhou Hai’s Water Spiritual Qi within him, reducing its intensity by at least thirty percent.

Following that was the White Dragon Power integrated into the Dragon Elephant pattern.

Even though Su Mu didn’t employ the Molten Fire Golden Body, Three-Turn Dragon Elephant Skill, or Profound Demon Five Transformations: Limit Break, under the influence of Dragon Power, at that moment, Su Mu felt the punch he launched was genuinely strong.

He felt a continuous and rampant Demon Beast force surging within him, far more frantic than Limit Break, as though he were truly about to transform into a Flood Dragon.

With the combination of Fist Momentum, Long Wei, and Dragon Power, Zhou Hai became the unfortunate victim.

Finally, despite having forewarned to use full strength, Zhou Hai chose to conceal his power, unwilling to utilize his full abilities, and ended up defeated, blaming no one but himself.

However, regardless of whether Zhou Hai used his full strength or not, he couldn’t impede Su Mu’s progress; the outcome was predetermined once the draw was cast.

Returning to reality, Su Mu turned to look at the stunned elder beside him, cupped his hands, and spoke.

"Sir, please announce the result of this battle."

Awoken by Su Mu’s prompt, the elder suddenly snapped out of his daze as if he had been under an illusion just moments before. He was about to speak when someone beat him to it.

"How can this be?!"

Where the Zhou Family members were seated, the person who had been boasting earlier suddenly stood up from the spectator seats, his face full of disbelief.

At this moment, not only him but even within the Zhou Family and throughout the arena, including the Li Family, faces were filled with surprise. Many rubbed their eyes forcefully.

Puzzled gazes kept darting between Su Mu and the unconscious Zhou Hai, many struggling to believe their eyes.

Defeated, the Zhou Family’s contestant, hailed as a seed candidate to contend against Tao Xinglie, Song Jingyuan, and Guo Zhen, Zhou Hai was.

Defeat wasn’t unbearable coming from a ranking match opponent from the Zhou Family, for those who reached this stage, except for Wang Chan, were all outstanding young talents nurtured with great effort by major forces of Donglai County.

What was unacceptable for the Zhou Family was...

The Zhou Family’s seed contestant for this competition, Zhou Hai, couldn’t withstand even one punch from Wang Chan, and what drove the Zhou Family to fury was Wang Chan had actually reminded Zhou Hai prior to the fight to utilize full strength.

"A single punch, Wang Chan faced Zhou Hai with merely one punch?!"

"Where exactly did the Li Family find such a monstrous figure, to defeat Zhou Hai with one punch? Surely even those three couldn’t manage that?"

...

"In this battle, the Li Family’s Wang Chan is victorious!"

The county scholar elder announced with feeling, and upon hearing his statement, many found it hard to accept what had just transpired.

Among them were members of the Li Family.

A moment earlier, even Li Yao and Li Changshan had their fists tightly clenched, palms sweating. Li Changshan knew the power of Zhou Hai.

Now, Li Changshan felt confident in defeating Zhou Hai, but prior in years, they were evenly matched.

If Wang Chan could defeat Zhou Hai with one punch, it meant he could defeat Li Changshan too with one punch?!

"Where exactly did the Patriarch find Wang Chan... Could Wang Chan be from the Ancient County Li Family, merely here with an alias to assist our Donglai Li Family?"

Even Li Changshan, who was leading the Li Family this time, couldn’t help but have the same query as others: where did they find Wang Chan?

Thoughts raced.

Suddenly, Li Changshan’s mind lit upon the Ancient County Li Family.

This thought emerged suddenly and grew wildly. Indeed, Su Mu’s punch just now was too overwhelming, too shocking. If such a monster is from Donglai County.

Prior to this, it was impossible for him not to have any news.

"Not long ago, my brother quietly left... Could he be someone from the main family line?!"

Li Yao’s eyes suddenly lit up. She recalled her brother’s abrupt departure earlier and noted that Wang Chan arrived at the Li Family after her brother left.

"Yes, it was father who personally hosted Wang Chan at that time. This person must be from the main line of the Ancient County!"

Li Yao instantly became convinced of her guess. She couldn’t help recalling their first meeting at the Li Family. Although it was a first meeting, Li Yao felt a sense of familiarity, as if it wasn’t their first encounter.

This familiarity and kinship must have stemmed from their bloodline because they are both from the Li Family!

"So that’s it... No wonder father and Third Uncle kept it so secret; they wanted to give everyone a big surprise."

Thinking of this, Li Yao became extremely excited.

"Wang Chan, well done!"

"That Zhou guy needs a beating, should be beaten hard!"

The Li Family members cheered loudly. Li Yao and Li Changshan exchanged a glance, understanding each other’s thoughts, and couldn’t help but look towards the guests’ seating.

...

Meanwhile, on the central arena’s best spectating seat, the guests’ seating.

"Incredible, if this old man isn’t mistaken, Wang Chan’s punch just now contained Fist Momentum. Such proficient use is definitely not from an initial understanding but has been mastered for some time now, not even Zhou Hai could withstand a single punch from him!"

"Bai Jiao Mountain has indeed proven miraculous; this child’s Grandmaster path has already begun, and his future achievements are limitless!"

The Cyan Fish Gang Elder exclaimed in admiration. Most of the Four Great Families of Donglai and County Mansion disciples practice Confucianism and Daoism, with core disciples rarely practicing Martial Dao.

The Cyan Fish Gang and White Whale Gang started from the streets as Cao Bang, initially with mixed members, some practicing the Three Religions’ Teachings, but more practicing Martial Dao.

The Cyan Fish Gang Elder speaking is also a Martial Artist. He immediately saw that Su Mu’s punch contained Martial Momentum.

"Not only that, this person’s Power and Qi Blood are also vigorous; he seems to have practiced some outstanding Horizontal Training Method, with an exceptional physique. I must congratulate Patriarch Li for recruiting such an incredible Tributor."

Soon, a White Whale Gang Elder also spoke, his tone carrying some congratulatory meaning, which was unusual.

Because recently, the White Whale Gang has been close to the Tao, Zhou, and Lin Families, with Guo Zhen participating as the Zhou Family’s Tributor. Now, the White Whale Gang Elder is congratulating the Li Family.

The guests on the seating are all experienced experts, people in high positions within significant forces are no fools.

How could a few conceal the undisguised glances from Li Yao and Li Changshan among the Li Family members?

A brief thought, and they could easily guess the origin of ’Wang Chan’ on the stage.

"This person is likely from the Ancient County... and probably from the Ancient County Li Family."

"Although Wang Chan has thrown only one punch, its murderous aura is remarkable, the Fist Technique has traces of military style, not an ordinary person... The Ancient County Li Family also has members in the Linfeng Iron Cavalry; this person is most likely one from there."

The guests’ thoughts were lively. The White Whale Gang expressed congratulations, while the Tao, Zhou, and Lin Families’ people’s expressions darkened; the Pill Cauldron Pavilion, Cyan Fish Gang, and Prefectural Governor factions appeared indifferent, eager to watch the spectacle.

Soon, Song Yuanshan, the Governor of Donglai County, chuckled lightly.

"Interesting, this tournament seems to be a fierce battle; this child’s strength is not below Jing Yuan, Xing Lie, and Guo Zhen."

"The champion of this tournament will likely be decided among these four."

...

"Fool, that Zhou Hai is also a fool!"

"Why not go all out, why act so arrogantly, truly incredibly stupid!"

Song Jingyuan’s eyes seethed with deeper resentment. Having reached this point, even if Wang Chan suffers a miserable defeat next, his name will be spread in Donglai.

And.

He noticed that after this battle, Baili Hongtang from Cyan Fish Gang looked at Wang Chan with eyes growing even more fervent.

"But this is good too; the stronger he shows himself now, as long as I defeat him... The benefits I will gain will be greater, Hongtang will surely have a new respect for me!"

Song Jingyuan stared directly at Baili Hongtang, his eyes flashing with a mix of agitation and desire.

Tao Xinglie and Guo Zhen also stared directly at Wang Chan, battle intent in their eyes. Until this moment, after Wang Chan defeated Zhou Hai with one punch, he finally entered the two’s eyes and was seen as an opponent.

On the other side.

Baili Hongtang, being watched by Song Jingyuan with agitated eyes, had a gleam of brilliance flashing in her eyes, with a touch of intense puzzlement.

"The shadows around this person are spreading faster; in such a short time... is he getting stronger?!"

"How is he doing it?!"
