Top-tier Unruly Master

Back at his residence, Ding Fan called Wang Hu into the room.

Ding Fan said to Wang Hu:

"Wang Hu, give me the Red Rock Celestial Stone. Keeping it on you might bring you danger."

Upon hearing Ding Fan, Wang Hu immediately took out the Red Rock Celestial Stone and handed it to him, then asked somewhat puzzled:

"What about these Spirit Stones, Brother Fan?"

Hearing Wang Hu's words, Ding Fan directly said:

"You keep the Spirit Stones. Buy some medicine pills and spiritual materials, preferably something that can improve your physical conditioning."

Ding Fan knew that although Wang Hu appeared quite burly, like most cultivators, his physical conditioning was not yet up to par—in Ding Fan's eyes, at least. For an average cultivator, achieving Wang Hu's physique would already be quite impressive.

At that moment, hearing Ding Fan's words, Wang Hu was taken aback. To think he was giving him all seven or eight thousand Spirit Stones?

Without Brother Fan, Wang Hu wouldn't even have the chance to acquire so many Spirit Stones, let alone make it back alive!

Moreover, he had more Spirit Stones than Brother Fan, by a large margin. How could he take the bigger share? Wang Hu then sincerely said to Ding Fan:

"Brother Fan, how can I take so many Spirit Stones? Please, take some."

Upon hearing this, Ding Fan immediately responded:

"No need to be courteous with me. These Spirit Stones are nothing; there will be even more in the future. Remember what I just said."

Wang Hu, hearing Ding Fan's words, nodded and said:

"Got it, Brother Fan. I'll make sure to train hard in those areas you mentioned."

Hearing Wang Hu's words, Ding Fan nodded but said nothing for a moment. Suddenly, thinking of Meng Zihao and others, he advised:

"Be cautious in the coming days, avoid leaving the sect if possible."

Upon hearing Ding Fan, Wang Hu frowned but nodded thoughtfully, without asking much—he believed Brother Fan had his reasons and resolved to be extra cautious.

After a while of casual conversation, Wang Hu left Ding Fan's room and returned to his own room, sitting cross-legged to cultivate.

Regarding cultivation, Ding Fan had already taught Wang Hu some things. Right now, Wang Hu found himself puzzled, in a phase of personal insight—this stage is crucial for cultivators. Those who achieve advanced cultivation are often individuals with exceptional insight in their training.

Wang Hu understood that while some things can be taught by a mentor, true cultivation must rely on personal effort.

Without hard work, no amount of teaching from Brother Fan would help.

After cultivating cross-legged for a while, Wang Hu went outside to practice his muscles and bones. Originally proud of his physical conditioning, Wang Hu realized during practice with Ding Fan that he couldn't compare with his elder brother.

The gap was too vast, like that between a baby and an adult—not an exaggeration at all.

Wang Hu knew that only those who had sparred with Brother Fan would understand how extraordinary his physical conditioning was!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of thunderous sounds echoed.

At this moment, Wang Hu was punching a towering tree, each punch causing leaves to flutter down.

Meanwhile, Ding Fan was already inside, cultivating cross-legged. Hearing the noise outside, he nodded, realizing Wang Hu's spirit, though not up to par with gifted disciples, was commendable for its diligence.

He believed that if Wang Hu followed his training method, breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage wouldn't take too long.

Soon after, Ding Fan walked out to the open ground where Wang Hu was practicing, observing his continuous punching, and shook his head slightly when he saw Wang Hu's form, then approached him.

"Elder brother, you're here?"

Wang Hu saw Ding Fan and immediately said.

Wang Hu was drenched in sweat; after rigorous practice, he felt his physical condition had significantly improved.

At that moment, Ding Fan looked at Wang Hu and said:

"Your punch exertion isn't right. Training this way, while useful, won't yield significant results."

Wang Hu was taken aback by Ding Fan's words and immediately and respectfully asked:

"Elder brother, how should I do it?"

Then Ding Fan walked to the large tree and said:

"I'll control my cultivation to your level and throw a punch—watch carefully, observe the body form, footwork, and waist movement."

After saying this, Ding Fan directly punched the large tree fiercely.

Boom!

After the punch, the tree trembled violently, and a large number of leaves rustled down.

Compared to Wang Hu's previous attempts, the difference was vast!

Wang Hu was utterly dumbfounded!

The elder brother's punch carried tens of times more power than his own!

Importantly, when Wang Hu looked at Ding Fan, he realized that the True Qi aura emanating from him was the same as his own. Clearly, the elder brother's punch was executed with the same cultivation level!

How could the same cultivation level result in such a significant difference in power?

Before Ding Fan punched, Wang Hu listened very carefully. At the moment Ding Fan punched, Wang Hu stared at his opponent's body posture and footwork.

Wang Hu became lost in thought for a brief moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up as if he'd discovered a treasure, and he said to Ding Fan:

"Brother, I understand! When you punch, you use your whole body's power, whereas I only use the power of my arm. Am I right, Brother?"

Ding Fan nodded; his opponent's comprehension was acceptable, but not thorough enough.

Then Ding Fan explained:

"You're correct, but it's somewhat generalized and not detailed. If you observe more carefully, you'll notice that the punch I just threw, although compared to you I used my whole body's power, this whole body's power is also layered: first using the feet, then the waist, followed by the shoulders, and lastly the arm for the punch."

Upon hearing Ding Fan's words, Wang Hu suddenly felt enlightened, as if everything suddenly became clear.

So that's it!

No wonder my power is so much weaker compared to Brother's. It's not a matter of cultivation level, but a difference in the way of exerting force; simply put, I've been practicing incorrectly.

Having heard Ding Fan's words, Wang Hu felt somehow that his entire body was filled with power, knowing that if he followed Brother's way of punching, his strength would definitely rise to a much higher level.

It's important to realize that cultivation is crucial for a cultivator, but fundamentally the most important is still actual strength.

No matter what your cultivation is, being able to defeat your opponent is the true path!

At this moment, Wang Hu felt immensely grateful towards Ding Fan; Brother shared things that if it weren't for him, even if he'd practiced for another ten years, he might not have realized. This is the difference between having a teacher and not having a teacher.

With his own talent, how could he possibly have a teacher as meticulous as Brother? Moreover, the most important thing is Brother's cultivation and strength are unfathomably deep; he is definitely no ordinary person.

This is truly his great luck!

"Can I try punching, Brother?"

At this moment, Wang Hu internalized Ding Fan's words as if a sluice gate opened in his heart, releasing an energy that surged forth. He really couldn't feel satisfied without trying!

Ding Fan nodded as he watched Wang Hu walk to the side of a giant tree.

Wang Hu gathered all his True Qi and punched fiercely at the giant tree.

Boom!

A loud noise rang out, the giant tree swayed greatly a few times, and a large number of leaves fell.

Upon seeing this scene, Wang Hu couldn't help but feel elated, the force exerted now was much stronger than before.

Wang Hu felt extremely delighted in his heart; he had already grasped some of this punching technique. He knew it wasn't just about punching style; the fundamentals remained unchanged, and he recognized that this technique could be applied to all moves. Once he diligently practiced and became familiar with this exertion method,

he firmly believed he might already be unmatched among those in the Late Fetal Breathing Stage.

This is definitely an ultimate move!

Ding Fan looked at Wang Hu's recent punch, nodded faintly, then said to Wang Hu:

"Barely adequate. Practice more in the future. Although this method of exerting force can significantly enhance your strength, it doesn't have many extraordinary qualities. If you refine this exertion method to the extreme, then with your current cultivation level, defeating a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Initial Stage is not out of the question."

Upon hearing Ding Fan's words, Wang Hu showed an expression of utter shock!

Refine to the extreme, defeat Early Nascent Soul!

How is this possible?

In his eyes, it was already an ultimate move, but in Brother's eyes, it seemed to be nothing special!

And what does it mean to refine it to the extreme?

Wang Hu looked at Ding Fan in shock, unable to imagine defeating a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Initial Stage, knowing that it was an entire level of difference!

Just for this level, this gap, he basically needed to practice for several more years to break through successfully.

How can such a gap be easily overcome?

Ding Fan watched Wang Hu's incredulous expression, then directly walked to the side of the giant tree, calmly saying:

"When cultivated to the extreme, it doesn't just use several key points of the body's strength, but strength from every joint, every cell, every meridian in the body. That's it, watch carefully!"

Ding Fan spoke the last word heavily, while his hand fiercely smashed towards the giant tree.

Boom!

Crack!

With a loud explosion, the giant tree instantly shattered into pieces, tree debris flying, leaves dancing chaotically!

At this moment, seeing this scene, Wang Hu was once again dumbfounded, his eyes wide as if they were about to fall out.

The giant tree, which would require several people to wrap their arms around, was exploded by Brother's punch!

This is incredible!

Not to mention he couldn't do it, even a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Initial Stage could hardly accomplish such a feat!

And Brother just did it truly and honestly!

Wang Hu looked at Ding Fan's cultivation in utter shock, and his mind was completely stunned!

Still in the Late Fetal Breathing Stage!
