In the Zongwu World, there are very few renowned Grandmasters of Martial Arts, most of whom come from Prestigious Sects and are figures of significant heritage. As for Loose Cultivators? Aside from a few giants who have inherited ancient legacies, it is rare for anyone to reach the Fusion Realm through their own exploration. More often, it is those who follow a lineage of master and disciple that can go further on the path of martial arts.
However, whether they are Loose Cultivators or foundational figures from Prestigious Sects, once they reach this Realm, they generally seldom appear in the martial world. Instead, they focus on rigorous training and exploring the Youngshen Realm above the Fusion Realm.
Now, seeing a background-less Loose Cultivator at the Fusion Realm step forward, Jiang Han felt a sense of joy. In his view, the path of martial arts does not lie solely in hard training; more importantly, it involves sparring and communication to enhance experience in real combat, refine martial skills, and comprehend the true essence of martial arts.
Without further ado, Jiang Han soared into the air, forming hand seals as if he were a great mountain crashing down. As his fist imprint descended, the void shattered instantly, and violent Qi erupted, extending for miles, startling other martial artists.
Those below the Innate Realm quickly retreated to give themselves enough space to maneuver, fearing that they would be caught in the True Qi fluctuations from such a powerful battle.
Master Qian's eyes twitched sharply. He realized that this person before him was indeed a battle maniac! Yet unfortunately, his own path in martial arts was not one that excelled in combat. With a slight sigh, Master Qian's expression turned serious.
At this point, he could only brace himself. If he couldn't satisfy that warrior today, he feared he might not be able to extricate himself at all. "I just hope that guy will leave me some face," he thought.
With gritted teeth, Master Qian produced four copper coins with square holes from his hand, placing them in the four cardinal directions: east, south, west, and north.
Before long, the four copper coins tore through the void, transforming into the forces of earth, wind, water, and fire, reshaping the power of the world. Within this transformation, there were faint connections to scenes of creation and destruction, as if the universe was in a constant cycle of evolution and annihilation.
"Haha, not bad! Not bad! Truly worthy of being Master Qian; you’ve managed to devise such a combat technique!" Jiang Han exclaimed with delight.
Just this move alone placed Master Qian among the upper ranks in the Fusion Realm.
In truth, Jiang Han was unaware that Master Qian hailed from a family of tea merchants, whose entire household had been slaughtered by pirates at sea. After years of wandering, he had fortuitously acquired a low-level mysterious cultivation method and embarked on the path of martial arts.
Since then, he had been cautious and prudent, avoiding conflicts driven by emotions. Through steady practice and his own intelligence, he gradually perfected his cultivation method to a level beyond that of an intermediate earth-tier cultivation method.
For Loose Cultivators, inheritance was what they lacked the most.
Aside from a few exceptionally lucky individuals with extraordinary fortune, Loose Cultivators often had to toil for generations just to obtain a decent martial art! Those like Master Qian could be considered somewhat fortunate.
After all, in some second or third-rate sects, mysterious-level martial arts were already regarded as core inheritances; who wouldn’t hold their own lineage tightly?
Even if a Loose Cultivator worked hard and gained the opportunity to join a major sect, they would not receive much attention because disciples of major sects were usually nurtured from a young age. Their loyalty and reliability were far superior to those who joined halfway through like Loose Cultivators.
"Take this move!"
Jiang Han's figure resembled that of a demon god as he unleashed a punch that shook the void. With a kick that struck down, the ground cracked open!
The area where the two fought had become devoid of any martial artists within a ten-mile radius. Even Martial Arts Grandmasters could only become spectators amidst the aftermath of such high-level combat; Innate experts could barely protect themselves.
The beautiful scenery in front of Azure Peak Sect's gate had been shattered by their clash.
In contrast to Jiang Han's exhilaration, Master Qian felt an overwhelming urgency in his heart, beads of sweat pouring down his forehead.
He was very clear that he had exhausted all his options and could not hold on much longer; defeat was just a moment away. As he looked around, it seemed he could still muster some encouragement, but that was only because the opponent wanted to play a little longer!
"Bang!"
Master Qian's four copper coins shattered, one of them exploding into pieces. However, he couldn't afford to feel heartbroken at the moment; instead, he fell into despair, feeling angry with himself for getting involved in this turmoil. Wasn't it better to enjoy good food and drink in the marketplace? Was the wine not fragrant enough, or were the beauties not charming enough?
"Bang! Bang!"
His copper coins were smashed again by Jiang Han's fists, two more destroyed, leaving only one that transformed into a large seal to block in front of him.
"Damn it!"
Blood trickled from the corner of Master Qian's mouth as he secretly cursed Elder Mo from Azure Peak and Mall Lord Shang Wanli for playing him! Wasn't it said that the people from Cangjian Mountain Villa would intervene?
Naturally, he didn't dare to hold a grudge against Cangjian Mountain Villa; instead, he buried that hatred deep within and shifted it towards Azure Peak Sect.
Now Master Qian felt immense regret; he never expected that merely coveting a small reward from Azure Peak Sect would lead him into such perilous circumstances.
Jiang Han radiated golden light all around him and struck out again with a punch, shattering Master Qian's last copper coin before slowly retracting his hand and standing with his hands clasped behind his back.
