Top-tier Unruly Master

Wang Hu looked at Ding Fan with a face full of shock; this punch was truly too astonishing!

After witnessing such an amazing punch, Wang Hu was absolutely convinced that if he could deliver a punch like this with his current cultivation, he could definitely defeat a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator.

Thinking of this, Wang Hu felt it was somewhat unbelievable!

The chance for a Late Embryonic Breath Stage cultivator to defeat a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator is practically an impossible task.

However, that punch from big brother could actually achieve it!

At this moment, looking at Wang Hu, who had yet to recover from his shock, Ding Fan calmly said:

"You just need to practice more; it's not that difficult."

For ordinary cultivators, this training technique would be considered a top-level cultivation technique, and this method of exerting force would indeed yield twice the result with half the effort, regardless of what cultivation technique one practices!

Ding Fan knew that cultivating to his level was still a significant challenge for average cultivators, but he had confidence in Wang Hu, given that he could offer some guidance. Cultivating to his level shouldn't be a problem for Wang Hu.

"Thank you, big brother."

Wang Hu said with genuine sincerity on his face.

Today's gains were significant for Wang Hu; the techniques taught by big brother today were ones capable of defeating Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivators. How precious is that?

In the Cultivation World, it is known that defeating someone of a higher stage is almost an impossible feat.

Wang Hu knew that if the techniques Ding Fan taught him were written down and put up for auction, they would definitely fetch an astronomical price. These insights are the cultivated understanding and experience of every cultivator, experiences that are not commonly gained.

Especially insights from such a highly cultivated senior like big brother; these could deviate one's cultivation path by at least ten years for a cultivator like Wang Hu himself.

Moreover, Wang Hu knew that an existence with cultivation like big brother's would never reveal these things to outsiders unless it was to teach him personally. These are the most valuable aspects of every cultivator, something that no amount of resources can exchange for.

Subsequently, after carefully instructing Wang Hu for a while, Ding Fan directly returned to his room to meditate.

Now being at the Late Nascent Soul Stage, the most important matter facing him next was breaking through the Nascent Soul Stage to reach the Emergence Stage.

Ding Fan understood that this distance wasn't something easily bridged; it required gradual accumulation, a slow and steady build-up.

These past few days, aside from cultivating, Ding Fan had been going to places within the sect where disciples congregate to inquire about the whereabouts of Zhou Ruoran, Gusu Qingwen, and Ye Ningbing.

Unfortunately, ordinary sect disciples knew nothing about the Dayang Sect sea's abduction incident. Later, Ding Fan changed his inquiry method, bypassing the sea incident, and directly asked if anyone had seen three beautiful women in peculiar outfits.

The result, however, remained the same; there was no news about Zhou Ruoran, Gusu Qingwen, and Ye Ningbing. Ding Fan wasn't discouraged either; aside from cultivation time, he inquired whenever he encountered some cultivators.

...

These days, Wang Hu had been immersed in crazy training. After Ding Fan's instruction, Wang Hu trained fanatically, punching every day until most of the sturdy trees in the woods where they lived were almost broken by him.

Additionally, every day Wang Hu worked on his footwork, knowing that the Dayang Sect had an extensive territory, practically encircling the entire Xueling Mountain Range. Every day, Wang Hu would run several laps around the perimeter of the sect.

From what he observed, Ding Fan felt a bit gratified seeing the effort Wang Hu put in, and apart from the time spent guiding Wang Hu, he used the remaining time for his cultivation.

On this day, Wang Hu, as usual, was fast running around the outskirts of the sect. Although his cultivation hadn't improved much after several days of training, his combat strength had significantly increased. Of course, achieving Ding Fan's kind of level-leaping battle was still impossible at this moment, but he believed that given a few months, he would certainly reach it!

Arriving at a forest on the outskirts of the sect, suddenly a group of people sprang out from both sides of the path.

"Halt!"

One of the youths shouted coldly at Wang Hu.

The group blocking Wang Hu consisted of six young cultivators, among whom five had cultivation at the Late Embryonic Breath Stage, and one had reached the Nascent Soul Early Stage.

These six youths, with expressions of vicious mockery on their faces, quickly surrounded Wang Hu entirely. Among them, the Nascent Soul Early Stage youth looked at Wang Hu with a sinister smile.

This teenager was Meng Zihao.

Because of his cousin Meng Haotian, Meng Zihao received a lot of cultivation resources after entering the sect, consuming many medicine pills and Heaven and Earth Treasures, which propelled his cultivation to the Nascent Soul Early Stage.

Earlier, Meng Zihao had secretly seen Ding Fan with Wang Hu at the sect's entrance. At that time, he sensed the aura of a treasure on the person beside Ding Fan. After some investigation with his underlings, his assumptions were confirmed, knowing that Ding Fan and Wang Hu had previously gone to the mine cave. Coupled with the aura emanating from that person, Meng Zihao concluded that the other party must have obtained significant opportunity and treasure!

Thus, after observing Wang Hu for a while in secret, he had basically grasped some information and daily habits of Wang Hu.

Today, he set an ambush here early, confident that Wang Hu would certainly come this way again.

As expected, he finally caught him.

Meng Zihao looked at Wang Hu with a sinister smile and said:

"Kid, what treasure did you get from the mine cave?"

Watching the people in front of him and hearing those words instantly made Wang Hu have a bad premonition. Listening to what they said, it was evident they were after the Red Rock Celestial Stone. However, judging from their words, it seemed they were uncertain of what it actually was.

At this moment, Wang Hu couldn't help but recall Ding Fan advising him to be more careful before. It turned out big brother had already detected that someone was coveting their treasure.

Thankfully, big brother had put away the Red Rock Celestial Stone; otherwise, an encounter like this today would be unavoidable.

"I didn't get anything; you must be mistaken."

Wang Hu said to Meng Zihao with a determined and sincere expression.

Upon hearing Wang Hu's words, Meng Zihao couldn't help but burst into laughter, the mocking smile on his face aimed at Wang Hu as he continued:

"Wang Hu, don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. I'll give you one last chance, hand over the treasure!"

"No."

Wang Hu resolutely replied.

Seeing Wang Hu's demeanor, Meng Zihao's face immediately darkened. He retreated a few steps back, exiting the circle surrounding the opponent, and then viciously said to everyone:

"Beat him until he talks!"

The other five cultivators, upon hearing Meng Zihao's words, immediately let out a shout and rushed towards Wang Hu with their fists.

"Go die!"

Instantly, five young cultivators lunged together towards Wang Hu, fists swinging.

At this moment, Wang Hu's expression turned grave. The other side consisted of five cultivators at the same late fetal breathing stage as him. For a moment, Wang Hu swung his fists, occasionally defending against the group's attacks.

Boom boom boom!

In no time, Wang Hu and the five late fetal breathing stage cultivators were entangled in combat.

Five cultivators against one; what was supposed to be a quick fight dragged on for half a minute, yet the opponent remained unscathed!

The five cultivators were shocked. How could this be possible?

The opponent was merely at the late fetal breathing stage, and they were five strong. Even a battle of attrition should have worn him down.

Yet, as time passed, the opponent was still standing!

The five fetal breathing stage cultivators clearly felt the unusual toughness of the opponent's body; each clash left them with minor injuries.

During the fight, Wang Hu finally understood the benefits of the cultivation method his brother taught him. If it were before, facing so many opponents, he might not have been able to hold out.

But now, Wang Hu felt that the group's attacks were not particularly threatening; their hits were like a mild itch. On the contrary, his punches left them howling in pain.

Satisfying!

Wang Hu felt an immense satisfaction in his heart!

He never expected that a few days of training could improve his strength so much.

At this moment, Wang Hu spotted an opening and fiercely punched towards the tall man's chest.

Boom!

Poof!

The tall man immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.

Everyone present was dumbfounded seeing this scene!

Five against one, and they couldn't defeat him?

Keep in mind, they were all at the same cultivation level!

Off to the side, Meng Zihao was equally shocked. He clearly saw that powerful punch. The strength was almost comparable to his own, and he was at the early nascent soul stage!

But what shocked Meng Zihao more was not just that punch. He had investigated Wang Hu before; he knew this was the same guy who had offended his cousin Meng Haotian. Back then, his cousin's men were sent to teach him a lesson. At that time, he was no better than a rookie, easily defeated by any late fetal breathing stage cultivator!

If it weren't for that damn Ding Fan saving him, he would probably already be a cripple with ruined cultivation!

And yet, in just a few days, the opponent had become so formidable!

Meng Zihao speculated that this drastic change must have something to do with the treasure.

Boom!

Another dull thud sounded as yet another young man fell to the ground.

What?

He knocked out another one!

At this moment, Wang Hu was getting more courageous with each fight. In no time, he had already taken down two of them.

Seeing this scene, the remaining group's astonishment turned into a complete loss of fighting spirit. It seemed the battle had already ended in defeat, even before it was truly over.

Meng Zihao's face was extremely grim. He then shouted fiercely to everyone:

"Fall back, I want to see how capable this guy really is!"

As soon as Meng Zihao spoke, everyone immediately stopped fighting and retreated. With a sinister look on his face, Meng Zihao approached Wang Hu.

He then punched towards Wang Hu's face!

Boom!

Seeing this, Wang Hu was a bit surprised. The opponent's fist was incredibly fast, leaving no time to dodge. In response, he launched a punch towards the opponent's fist.

With this punch, Wang Hu remembered his brother's advice: attack using the power of every cell and joint in the body!
