Chapter 195 The 17-Year-Old Grandmaster of Alchemy
The intimidating aura that had just appeared came and went quickly, flashing only briefly the moment Wang Chao stepped into the hall before silently disappearing.
Before Zhu Hongzhi and the others could recover from the shock, another scene that made the hearts of these Grandmasters of Internal Energy sink even deeper came into view.
Two girls followed behind Wang Chao, one of whom, about seventeen or eighteen years old, was Huo Ling'er, his apprentice and a key figure involved in the competition.
"Huh, what's this?"
Zhu Hongzhi, the great master of the Hongmen boxing, suddenly let out a surprised sound the moment he noticed Huo Ling'er.
A martial artist at the Transformation Realm has six senses as sharp as radar, able to detect even the slightest movement. Yet, at this moment, neither he nor Xue Lianxin could detect the little girl's footsteps, heartbeat, or even the sound of her exhalation.
"Is this the realm of embryonic breathing?"
In martial arts, only those who have reached the level of "Transformation of Strength" and attained a state of divine mastery can achieve this level.
But how is that possible?!
They also knew Huo Ling'er. Although her boxing skills were not weak and she had a strength of 500 jin in her hands, she was just a little girl who hadn't even touched the threshold of Ming Jin. Otherwise, Huo Ling'er's older brother, Huo Qiming, wouldn't have sought out a good teacher for her.
Now, in just two short months, she has directly crossed the Ming Jin realm and stepped into the Hua Jin realm, becoming someone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with them, the grandmasters who have been immersed in martial arts for decades.
Just as the two were experiencing a turmoil of emotions, Huo Ling'er seemed to sense something and happened to look up, her gaze sweeping over them lightly.
In an instant, as if electricity had been generated in the void, the two people felt a sudden pain in their eye sockets, as if they had been pricked by a needle, and subconsciously turned their heads away.
"The skill of 'witnessing'! How does this little girl know how to 'witness'?"
Zhu Hongzhi couldn't believe it.
After mastering martial arts to a divine level, one's thoughts become pure and powerful, and one's fist intent is present in every movement, whether walking, sitting, or lying down. A single glance from one's eyes can make ordinary people tremble with fear.
However, those above the Transformation Realm possess the skill of eyewitnessing, capable of terrifying people to the point of mental breakdown and death simply by looking at them. Even grandmasters cannot withstand this.
An expert with hidden strength is a master, a grandmaster. A master with transformed strength is a grandmaster in a province, capable of commanding an entire region.
As for alchemy masters above the Transformation Realm, they are practically legendary; there might not be many in the entire world.
Huo Ling'er is only a 17-year-old girl, how could she have entered the path of alchemy?
Their gazes returned to Wang Chao. Looking at the mysterious young master before them, their previously barely maintained composure began to flutter, various thoughts arising within them.
"How exactly did they train for this skill?"
Even Zhu Hongzhi, who had seen true geniuses, couldn't help but widen his eyes.
The most talented person he had ever met was Tang Zichen.
At the age of fifteen, he attained supernatural powers; at twenty-five, his marrow was as smooth as frost, his blood as pure as mercury, and he cultivated his inner strength.
In three years, he will unite with the Dao, refine his spirit and return to emptiness, and step into the path of utmost sincerity. He will become a true martial arts legend and one of the top three peerless masters in the world.
Only the God-organized GOD can surpass it.
But at this moment, even Tang Zichen's talent seemed insignificant in front of Wang Chao.
It could even be said that even when Tang Zichen appeared in front of him, he never felt this overwhelming sense of pressure.
Could it be that the other party has reached the same level as GOD from the God Organization?!
However, as a veteran of the Hongmen, Zhu Hongzhi had seen people above the Transformation Realm before.
Even the highest level of Dan Jin requires a hundred days of nurturing to improve physical strength; how can one achieve such a leap in one step?
This is so illogical.
He couldn't help but recall it.
"Three years ago, he was just a genius boxer whose martial arts had just entered the Dark Force realm."
Four months ago, Wang Chao's defeat of Little Martial God Zhou Binglin was merely enough to make Zhu Hongzhi believe that the other party was qualified to be his equal.
After all, even though they defeated the Little Martial God and crippled his arm, Wang Chao himself was also seriously injured and was not much different from the others. But let alone Wang Chao, even Huo Ling'er seemed to be above the two of them at this moment.
Chen Aiyang, who was standing to the side, was also deeply shaken. Compared with Zhu Hongzhi and others who were unaware of Wang Chao's true abilities, he knew even more how exaggerated Wang Chao's progress had become.
You should know that when he met Wang Chao two months ago, the two of them had a footwork contest, and at that time it was clear that Wang Chao's level was no different from his own.
How come in the blink of an eye, even the other party's newly accepted apprentice is now subtly superior to me?
In the blink of an eye, Wang Chao was already in front of the group, greeting them.
The next moment, Zhu Hongzhi and Xue Lianxin, who had already made a name for themselves decades ago, could no longer sit still in the face of the young Wang Chao.
The two of them sat up abruptly, and subconsciously moved aside to reveal the seats behind them, their tone devoid of even a trace of arrogance:
"Master Wang Chao, please have a seat."
The two Grandmasters of Internal Energy were actually placing themselves in the position of juniors at this moment.
Previously, in private, they considered themselves to be on equal footing with Wang Chao, believing that even if Wang Chao could cripple Zhou Binglin, they would still be equals.
As the two seniors stood up, Chen Aiyang, as a junior, also stood up.
Huo Qiyun wasn't a martial arts expert and didn't possess the sensitivity of several grandmasters of internal energy, but he wasn't oblivious to the atmosphere when several great boxers treated Ling'er's master with such respect.
"Could Ling'er's master possibly have some other identity?"
Putting aside everything else, just look at Liao Junhua, who was standing obediently next to Zhu Hongzhi; his status was no lower than Zhu Hongzhi's.
Wang Chao watched as Zhu Hongzhi and Xue Lianxin stood up to offer him their seats, a faint smile flashing in his eyes. He raised his hand in a gesture of support and said calmly, "There's no need for such formalities, seniors. I'll just stand and talk, so as not to spoil the lively atmosphere in the hall."
As soon as he finished speaking, he glanced at everyone in the hall before slowly saying, "I came with Mr. Huo today to inform you of something: I do not intend to participate in the competition with Ruan Hongxiu this time."
These words were like a pebble thrown into calm water; the hall instantly fell silent, so quiet that the gentle swaying of the crystal chandelier could be heard.
Huo Qiyun's brows furrowed immediately: "Master Wang, you promised, how can you go back on your word?"
"My Huo family has invested over a hundred million yuan in this competition, if not exactly acting as a go-between. If you don't participate, not only will our investment be wasted, but we also won't be able to explain this situation to the public!"
Huo Qiyun's words were true.
A few hundred million in capital is no small amount, although he doesn't care too much about that amount of money.
This competition was originally started because Wang Chao took Huo Ling'er and Ruan Hongxiu as revenge for Zhou Binglin's broken arm.
If Wang Chao were to boycott the match, not only would the Huo family's investment be wasted, but it would also be a slap in their own face.
The atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly became tense.
At this moment, Huo Ling'er suddenly spoke up:
"Master isn't competing because I'm the one who wants to compete."
Upon hearing this, Huo Qiyun immediately frowned:
"Little sister, what did you say?!"
