Chapter 695: A Single Finger Defeats

"Really just one finger?"

Feng Shi, Luo Shi, Hong Shi, and the others were all utterly exasperated.

With the opponent's strength, even they, esteemed early-stage Bridge Heaven realm experts, found it hard to contend. Yet you, who only reached the Turbid Clarity realm a month ago, dare to face him with one finger—are you insane!

Moreover, even if you use one finger, you should at least be quick about it!

Moving so slowly, trembling and tottering like a dying old woman—is this really a fight?

All martial arts in the world, no matter how strong, can be broken; only speed is invincible!

This Senior Brother Feng moves like lightning, his whole person like a cheetah. Even if you've made great progress in a month and can defeat him with one finger, you should still gather momentum in advance and use a faster technique!

Having no martial skill and no order is one thing, but this finger is so slow that even the weakest person could easily dodge it!

Not only were Hong Shi and the others twitching at the corners of their mouths, about to faint, but Ruohuan Gongzi and Luo Xuan also felt their vision darken.

They had heard the bet just now—such a huge wager, and you can't even take it seriously?

At this speed, even killing a fly would be difficult!

"I thought he was strong, but he turns out to be a fool!"

Seeing Zhang Xuan's movements, the young man who had fought with the others earlier snorted coldly.

This guy had been talking glibly, sounding so impressive. I really thought he had the ability to fight Senior Brother Feng. Never in my dreams did I expect him to show his true colors the moment he made a move.

A finger so devoid of power and attack—how could it affect Senior Brother?

I reckon Senior Brother Feng will just slap him to death with one palm...

Just as he was sneering inwardly, he heard an uproar below.

"No, look!"

Hearing everyone's rapid breathing, he frowned and couldn't help but look. As soon as he did, his eyes went wide.

He had thought that with such a slow finger, Senior Brother Feng would directly strike it aside and send him reeling. But unexpectedly, Senior Brother looked as if facing a great enemy, his expression solemn, his forward charge halted, and he swayed to dodge.

However, after dodging half a step, the trembling finger pointed at him again. His brows jumped, and he dodged backward.

Before he could evade, the finger pointed once more.

Seeing the direction of the finger, Senior Brother Feng looked as if he had seen a ghost. Cold sweat poured down his head as he jumped away again.

Every time the opponent's finger swayed, he jumped, as if being remote-controlled—inexplicably eerie.

"This... is Senior Brother Feng having a seizure?"

"It looks like it..."

Ruohuan Gongzi, Luo Zhao, and the others were all baffled.

Teacher Zhang's finger didn't seem to have any attack power, so why did that guy jump around at every point? And why was he scared into a cold sweat?

Had he taken the wrong medicine, or seen a ghost?

Even if you want to cooperate with Teacher Zhang, you don't have to cooperate like this!

"It's not a seizure, but... Teacher Zhang has found the opponent's weakness. Although the finger is slow, it points to the opponent's flaw every time. If the opponent doesn't attack, fine; but if he does, the fingertip's true qi will shoot out, inevitably causing him to lose on the spot, or even... die!"

As if realizing this, Hong Shi suddenly stiffened all over.

"Exactly!"

Feng Shi and Luo Shi also nodded.

They were all five-star master teachers, with sharper eyes than Luo Xuan and the others. While the latter hadn't figured out what was happening, they had already seen it.

Clearly, Teacher Zhang had seen the opponent's weakness and pointed from afar. The opponent, afraid of being hit, had to dodge in advance.

In a high-level fight, especially between evenly matched opponents, once a flaw or vital point is discovered, one's life is in the opponent's hands. No matter how strong Senior Brother Feng was, encountering such a situation suddenly, he dared not engage!

"Senior Brother..."

The young man now sensed something wrong. His fists clenched, full of worry.

He knew Senior Brother Feng's strength well. Even ordinary early-stage Bridge Heaven experts might not be his match. Yet now, under the remote control of the opponent's finger, he kept jumping around—this showed that the opponent's strength was indeed not fake!

With one move, he saw Senior Brother's flaw and forced him to defend—what kind of eyesight was that?

"Damn it!"

While everyone was shocked, Senior Brother Feng ground his teeth, nearly exploding with rage.

As Hong Shi had guessed, although the opponent's finger was slow, it pointed unerringly at his vital point.

If he dared to advance, the opponent's true qi would surge out, and he would surely be struck down!

His foundation was solid; he had already changed five body techniques and eight martial skills, but every time he moved, the opponent accurately pointed out the flaw of those techniques. Such eyesight, so sharp and precise, even his own teacher, a peak five-star master teacher, could not achieve!

When did the Huan Yu Empire produce such a formidable character?

"I'll go all out!"

After jumping several more times, knowing that continuing to jump would lead to defeat sooner or later, Senior Brother Feng gritted his teeth, stretched his body, and lunged forward.

This move was like a tiger pouncing on prey. It was a killing technique derived by a senior from his sect after observing tigers and leopards hunting. Invincible at close range, almost no one of the same level could withstand it.

Spirit-level mid-grade peak martial skill—Bear Tiger Roar to the Sky!

Roar!

His body expanded, carrying the sound of a tiger and bear, his essence, energy, and spirit instantly concentrated to the extreme.

"Excellent!"

Seeing his senior brother unleash his ultimate move, the young man breathed a sigh of relief, thinking they would surely win this time, when he heard the opponent across from him sigh and speak in a helpless tone.

"What are you yelling about? You scared me..."

Thump!

A muffled grunt, and then he saw Senior Brother Feng struck at his vital point, falling stiffly to the ground, pale-faced and foaming at the mouth.

"Senior Brother..."

His pupils contracted, and the young man rushed over to help Senior Brother Feng up.

Bear-Tiger Roar to Heaven was one of the strongest martial techniques in the sect, and only someone with Senior Brother Feng's talent could execute it. When unleashed, the true qi inside the body formed a spiraling force, making the person seem like a bear or tiger. A single roar could shatter the spirit and courage of even an early Bridge Heaven realm cultivator, leaving them unable to resist.

He had thought that with this move, the opponent would surely be defeated in one blow. Unexpectedly, someone was defeated—but not the opponent; it was his senior brother!

The opponent lightly tapped with a single finger, piercing through his senior brother's defense and striking the point where true qi converged.

How did he do it?

The move looked simple, but he knew how terrifying it was.

Not to mention finding the flaw in such a fast attack, the most important thing was that Senior Brother Feng had specifically trained that flaw. Even ordinary swords and blades could hardly break through the defense, yet a trembling finger not only easily pierced it but also left him in this state...

How powerful must his attack be?

"If he really wanted to kill, even without finding the flaw, he could have flicked his finger and sent Senior Brother flying! His strength probably exceeds five million ding..."

Calculating in his mind, the young man's face turned pale, his body stiffened, and he was filled with disbelief.

Senior Brother Feng had great confidence in this move and had once calculated that even a mid-stage Bridge Heaven realm expert, attacking head-on and hitting the vital point by chance, could withstand it for a while without losing. But the opponent's finger not only easily broke through but also made him foam at the mouth, nearly killing him. His strength had already surpassed the mid-stage Bridge Heaven realm!

The mid-stage Bridge Heaven realm had a tremendous force of 4.8 million ding.

Surpassing that meant he had at least 5 million ding of strength.

With such absolute power, why bother finding flaws? A single slap would be unstoppable!

It seemed that when the opponent said he would use only one finger, he was actually showing mercy on purpose!

Otherwise, a iron fist smashing down, relying on pure force to overcome skill, would have surely killed Senior Brother Feng on the spot, leaving him no chance to resist.

"Thank you for going easy..."

Just as he was in shock, he heard a voice and looked down to see Senior Brother Feng, enduring the pain, open his eyes.

Although the opponent had struck his flaw with a finger, he had clearly shown mercy, and the injury was not severe.

"Just a spar!" Zhang Xuan said with a faint smile.

Both were master teachers; there was no need to kill. Defeating was enough, so he didn't deliver a fatal blow.

In fact, the young man's guess was correct. If he had really wanted to fight, with his strength exceeding ten million ding, a flick of his finger would have killed him. Why bother with all this effort?

"I am inferior in skill. The matter of the alliance ends here!"

Struggling to stand up, Senior Brother Feng gritted his teeth and turned to walk out.

As the number one genius of the Golden Sea Empire, he couldn't even block a single finger from the opponent. Staying here would only bring shame; it was better to leave immediately.

"He won?"

"That arrogant Senior Brother Feng couldn't even block a single finger from Teacher Zhang?"

Seeing the opponent leave, the crowd below erupted in uproar.

Luo Xuan and Bi Jianghai exchanged glances, both smiling bitterly.

It seemed... the gap between them and him had grown even larger!

Back in the Ten Thousand Kingdoms City, they could at least fight him, and even if they couldn't win, they could withstand a few moves. But now, if they rushed at him, they would surely end up like Senior Brother Feng, unable to block even a single finger.

"Peak Harmony Realm? Teacher Zhang... have you broken through to the peak of the Harmony Realm?"

Teacher Hong's eyes lit up as he approached.

Although Zhang Xuan's attack was only a moment ago, he had still caught the opponent's strength—it had already reached the peak of the Harmony Realm!

Teacher Zhang had broken through to the Clarity Realm in the Ten Thousand Kingdoms City, and now, only two or three months later, he had not only reached the Harmony Realm but also its peak...

Wasn't this progress too fast!

The Clarity Realm trapped countless people, yet he not only broke through but also jumped an entire major realm... How did he cultivate?

"Peak Harmony Realm?"

Han Ling and the others, whom Zhang Xuan had taught a lesson earlier, had been thinking of fighting him again when he returned. Hearing this, they were all filled with helplessness.

How could they still fight? Even taking drugs, they couldn't catch up!

With such progress, the gap would only widen, and they would never catch up.

"I just broke through by luck!"

Zhang Xuan smiled and didn't dwell on the issue: "Teacher Hong, did my students come with you? Where are they now?"

Zheng Yang, Wang Ying, and the others had come here ahead of them. Since this group had arrived, they should be here too.

"They..."

Hearing the question, Teacher Hong looked at Teacher Feng and the others, and his speech became hesitant.

"What happened to them?"

Seeing his expression, Zhang Xuan frowned, and his face darkened.
