Inside the makeshift operating room.

The bearded doctor, along with several other physicians, were simultaneously treating Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen. They were transplanting the Coiled Dragon Spiritual Pivot from Bai Zhenzhen’s body into Zhang Yu, and then restoring Bai Zhenzhen’s original spine.

At this moment, Zhang Yu, despite having ingested a large quantity of painkillers, remained lucid. He was simultaneously feeling the various surgical instruments working on his body and listening to the transmitted instructions from Stellar Spark Zhenren.

According to Stellar Spark Zhenren, time was of the essence. For the next hour and a half, even during the surgery, Zhang Yu had to seize every moment to learn!

Stellar Spark Zhenren’s voice echoed in his mind, “With the Coiled Dragon Spiritual Pivot, your physical strength will increase by 1.0 level. This will help close the gap between you and Wang in terms of raw power!”

Furthermore, the Dragon Might Art within the Spiritual Pivot can suppress his techniques, preventing him from unleashing the most devastating Devouring Sky and Spirit Surge stances of the All-Consuming Fist!

“But with just this, you still cannot defeat him!”

“His skin and Dharmic Skeleton were taken from a cultivator with a Physical Strength of Level 20. It underwent eighty-one painstaking processes to be crafted. Coupled with the Netherblood Shadow Shroud, which contains tens of thousands of living souls, it will be exceedingly difficult for you to even wound him!”

Even if you manage to inflict a minor injury, his Spirit Root will allow him to recover rapidly!

“That Spirit Root is called the Sun-Moon Spirit Root, a Celestial Spirit Root that money cannot buy!”

Although he severed his cultivation and severed the fusion of the spirit root and his physical body, for a wealthy person like him, buying another Celestial Spirit Root would not be difficult!

This Spirit Root can convert Mana into Qi and Blood to heal injuries, and can also convert Qi and Blood into Mana to restore his reserves!

“As long as his Mana is recovering, his injuries will be healed!” Even if you can break through the Netherblood Shadow Shroud and his skin, the resulting injuries will inevitably be minor, and he will recover in an instant!

“Hearing this, Zhang Yu frowned deeply. He had thought that his skin was already a formidable obstacle, but he hadn’t expected the existence of the Sun-Moon Spirit Root!”

Zhang Yu said, “Then does that mean I cannot defeat him?”

Stellar Spark Zhenren smiled slightly and transmitted, “Naturally, there is a way!”

With that, he reached out and tapped Zhang Yu’s forehead. The next moment, Zhang Yu felt like a shooting star had crashed into his consciousness. After a brief spin, it came to a halt!

Zhang Yu looked closely and discovered that it was actually a golden brick!

He asked, puzzled, “What is this?”

Stellar Spark Zhenren said, “This is the magic treasure that Deng Bingding said he would lend you!”

This treasure is called the Soul-Shattering Brick, a magic treasure specifically designed to attack his spirit!

“As long as you can use this treasure to injure Wang, and shatter his spirit, you will immediately win this battle. He will have no choice but to return to the higher realms to heal his spirit!”

But if you use this Soul-Shattering Brick directly, it will inevitably be blocked by his Netherblood Shadow Shroud and that layer of skin. This will put him on guard, making it even more difficult to succeed!

“Therefore, you must first break through the Netherblood Shadow Shroud and his skin, then use the Soul-Shattering Brick unexpectedly, and you will be victorious!”

Listening to Stellar Spark Zhenren’s words, Zhang Yu felt as though he had gone in a circle and ended up back where he started. Didn’t he still have to break through the opponent’s double defenses?

Stellar Spark Zhenren seemed to know what Zhang Yu was thinking and continued to transmit, “Actually, the solution lies in your own hands!”

“The Nine Heavens Cloud Soaring Force you have cultivated is a former military-grade technique. It can accumulate various forces and Mana into the罡 Qi. Any martial art in your hands can have its power amplified many times over!”

“It’s just that you have always been using brute force, failing to truly unleash the wonders of this technique!”

“Since you can stack multiple layers of force in a single move, why limit yourself to just one type of force?”

“Know that the superposition of different forces, interacting with each other, can be far more powerful and wonderful than simply using one type of force!”

It’s like asking whether the same person is more skilled using just straight punches or using a combination of punches, palm strikes, and grappling techniques!

Zhang Yu heard this, and it was as if a thunderclap resounded in his mind. Immediately, all sorts of fantastical ideas flooded his consciousness!

Seeing the change in his expression, Stellar Spark Zhenren smiled slightly and said, “I have already discerned the weaknesses of the Netherblood Shadow Shroud and the Dharmic Skeleton. Next, I will teach you…”

By the time the surgery was completed, Zhang Yu also knew how to fight Wang!

Stellar Spark Zhenren transmitted from the side, “I have already told you the method of attack. In the time that remains, you must seize every moment to cultivate the Nine Heavens Cloud Soaring Force. Increase it as much as possible. Every little bit of improvement will increase your chances of winning!”

At the same time, take this opportunity to adapt to the Coiled Dragon Spiritual Pivot!

Zhang Yu glanced at Bai Zhenzhen, who was still unconscious, took a deep breath, and prepared to begin cultivating the Nine Heavens Cloud Soaring Force!

However, before starting, he thought of something!

Zhang Yu looked at the doctor and said, “Give me medicine!”

The doctor asked, puzzled, “What medicine?”

Zhang Yu said, “Any kind of medicine, the more toxic the better!”

After consuming a pile of medicines brought by the doctors, Zhang Yu felt the surging Mana and Qi and Blood throughout his body. Only then did he begin to cultivate the Nine Heavens Cloud Soaring Force!

This technique only has three moves, and Zhang Yu can practice it about once every ten seconds!

Especially knowing that he had to seize every moment, he did not pay attention to the proper flow of power or the standard of the posture. He only sought speed, striving to practice as many times as possible before the battle began!

During this practice, Zhang Yu felt the Coiled Dragon Spiritual Pivot mobilizing the large tendons throughout his body, bolstering his strength, and forcefully raising his physical strength by one level!

At this moment, every punch and kick unleashed power far exceeding what it was in the past, and he gradually became accustomed to this Dharmic Skeleton!

At the same time, this Dharmic Skeleton was constantly drawing Mana from Zhang Yu’s body. If it were not for the support of the Qi Sea Spirit Root, he would probably be drained of Mana in just over ten minutes!

As this frantic practice continued, the level of the Nine Heavens Cloud Soaring Force continued to increase!

From Level 5, it reached Level 6, then Level 7… Level 8…

With each increase, a vast amount of cultivation memories flooded his mind. Zhang Yu simply digested them silently and continued to practice as quickly, as effortlessly, and as perfunctorily as possible, not caring about the quality of each practice session!

“Time’s up!”

As Wang sent someone to remind him, Zhang Yu stopped his movements and asked, “Is there any more medicine?”

Several staff members quickly walked over and said, “Mr. Zhang, let us help you equip your protective gear!”
Zhang Yu’s heart stirred upon hearing this, wondering if Deng Bingding had allocated funds to purchase this protective gear? Was it to increase his chances of victory?

He watched as the few people before him plastered small posters all over his body, layer upon layer!

Zhang Yu tugged at a corner, questioning, “This is the protective gear?”

The staff member applying the posters explained, “These are specially made combat posters used in battles between powerful individuals. To prevent them from being damaged or destroyed in combat, the company has specifically manufactured them to be fireproof, frost-resistant, acid-resistant, and puncture-resistant. Wearing them is even more effective than a battle suit!”

“The heck! Are you saying these posters have better defense than a battle suit?!”

Zhang Yu rolled his eyes inwardly, reminding them, “Put a few more layers on my chest!”

“And don’t forget the inner thighs!”

At the same time, several more staff members approached, saying, “Mr. Zhang, these are the lines you need to recite when you enter the arena!”

Zhang Yu’s gaze flickered as he looked at the medicine and script they were holding. “Is the live broadcast of this battle popular?”

The person nodded repeatedly, saying, “Oasis Group is actively promoting it, and the number of viewers on the live broadcast channel is already number one.”

“Here’s the contract. Please take a look and sign if everything is in order!”

Zhang Yu signed quickly, watching as a stream of money flashed before his eyes. In the blink of an eye, he had nearly ten million more, inwardly marveling at how quickly this money was earned!

After completing all the preparations for battle, Zhang Yu slowly walked towards the arena.

Behind Zhang Yu, Real Person Xinghuo’s eyes flashed with a hint of “worry!”

This kid’s movements were full of errors when he first started cultivating. After more than an hour, there was still no noticeable progress.

“Could it be that he’s too nervous, or that he hasn’t adapted to the Flood Dragon Spiritual Pivot?”

Zhang Yu looked at the level 11 Nine Firmament Cloud Piercing Force on Yu Shu, and a surge of confidence welled up within him!

Level 11 Nine Firmament Cloud Piercing Force not only allowed him to open up 11 empty apertures in the Gang Qi, storing 11 strikes worth of power, but also granted him the effects of level 10!

After Nine Firmament Cloud Piercing Force reached level 10, it could not only accumulate his own power, but each empty aperture could also accumulate a portion of the power directed at him!

‘And now, after seizing the time to raise Nine Firmament Cloud Piercing Force to level 11, Zhang Yu finally remembered the changes to the Remaining Ox Sacrifice Heart Sutra in his mind!

As he walked towards the agreed-upon battlefield, he looked at the Remaining Ox in his mind’s eye, noticing spots of blood on the white ox’s back, forming lines of words, seemingly a few incantations!

“What does this mean?”

Just as Zhang Yu repeatedly pondered but couldn’t understand the meaning of the incantations, waves of wailing and screams came from ahead!

He saw that Wang Zhou was surrounded by thousands of bloody shadows, and he said calmly, “With the money I earned in the past hour and a half, I bought tens of thousands of mortal souls!”

“These mortals have no cultivation, are foolish and ignorant. Their souls are the most valuable thing about them!”

“Instead of rotting on the First Layer, they might as well shine brightly in my hands…”

Zhang Yu was slightly stunned upon hearing this. He looked around and indeed saw countless cameras, all aimed at the battlefield, broadcasting to countless places at this moment!

Zhang Yu thought to himself, “Broadcasting to the First Layer can increase his power and promote the acquisition and sale of fast-moving products like living souls, facilitating the advancement of the next plan!”

“And broadcasting to the Second Layer and above is still to promote the purchasing power and cost-effectiveness of the lower levels, wanting more people above to be in favor of the First Layer’s transformation, right?”

“Or… is there also a promotion for the effectiveness of this product, me?”

At the same time, Zhang Yu also noticed that whenever a camera swept across them, the expressions of the Oasis Group’s staff members would change!

Some people dodged to the side repeatedly, thinking, “Damn it, don’t film me! What if I’m noticed by some big shot from above?”

Others approached the camera, anticipating, “Isn’t it just selling flesh?”

The rewards from above are Spiritual Coins. As long as the price is fair, there’s definitely profit to be made.

On the other side, Wang continued to say, “Mortals are incredibly easy to raise, requiring almost no Immortal Dao resources!”

“Our group has decided to promote Immortal Dao breeding technology on the First Layer, such as building human farms for mass, scaled breeding!”

“We want to completely drive down the price of mortals.”

Listening to the endless promotion from the other party, Zhang Yu snorted coldly, took out a bottle of potion, drank it, and then also spoke, “Bailing Pharmaceuticals, everything you need and what’s best for you, your exclusive pharmaceutical steward!”

At the same time, Yu Xinghan, who was watching the live broadcast, cursed, “Are you kidding me? He’s been reciting for five minutes and hasn’t stopped! How much money did this kid make?”

Just then, the scene changed. Yu Xinghan’s gaze sharpened. “It’s finally starting!”

He saw Zhang Yu step out, walking faster and faster, gradually turning from a brisk walk into a sprint, rapidly approaching Wang, who was still speaking.

“It’s none of my business if you haven’t finished speaking!”

“I don’t have time to wait for you.”

The Flood Dragon Spiritual Pivot on Zhang Yu’s back twisted, like a great dragon stretching its body, causing his physical body to erupt with surging power, making his sprinting speed even faster!

Surging Gang Qi poured out of his body, leaving a long trail on the battlefield as he sprinted, making Zhang Yu look like a white dragon opening its jaws and biting ferociously towards Wang!

At the same time, Zhang Yu let out a wild roar, and the Dragon’s Might Technique in the Flood Dragon Spiritual Pivot suddenly activated, sweeping across a hundred meters!

Faced with the oncoming Dragon’s Might Technique, Wang was prepared and didn’t circulate his cultivation technique at all. Although his spirit suffered a shock and was momentarily stiff, he didn’t experience the dizziness that came with his cultivation technique being forcibly stopped!

It wasn’t that Wang didn’t have a Dharma Body that could resist the Dragon’s Might Technique, but he had now abandoned his cultivation and burdening the skin Dharma Body he had was already his limit, he couldn’t afford to burden a second Dharma Body!

So he would rather choose not to circulate his cultivation technique!

“Although I can’t use the Devouring Heaven Stance and Spiritual Insight Stance that require a cultivation technique, I can’t monopolize the Spiritual Energy anymore!”

But the World-Shattering Heroic Fist doesn’t necessarily have to be paired with a cultivation technique!

He saw Wang’s right arm bend slightly, his hand forming a fist seal, and surging Dharma power gathered towards his right fist!

World-Shattering Heroic Fist – Collapsing Earth Stance.

With a loud bang, accompanied by the release of Dharma power, Wang’s punch caused a Spiritual Energy explosion!

Then, like a chain reaction, the surrounding Spiritual Energy exploded in a chain, all blasting towards Zhang Yu!

Zhang Yu roared and directly activated the Martial Dao Saint Embryo’s Overload, and the Spring and Autumn Endless Chan’s “Chan” character erupted!
Coupled with the raging medicinal potency coursing through his meridians, and the Draconic Spiritual Pivot within his spine orchestrating the flow of power throughout his body!

In that instant, Zhang Yu reached an unprecedented pinnacle of strength!

He unleashed both palms simultaneously, alternating between fists, palms, blocks, and weaves… countless martial techniques accompanied by the Formless Cloud罡, all deployed with effortless ease,deflecting Wang’s surging fist techniques one by one!

*Boom, boom, boom, boom!*

With each strike, the tumultuous spiritual energy was blasted outwards, kept at bay!

Zhang Yu’s heart steadied, “With the King’s Heart Mantra suppressed, the power of his fist arts has indeed diminished significantly!”

Zhang Yu tore through his opponent’s offensive, his entire being surging forward like a rampaging dragon, directly confronting his adversary!

Their gazes met through the veil of the Underworld Bloodshadow Cover. The intense fighting intent seemed to collide in the air, erupting in a silent roar!

Nine Heavens Cloud Void Strength, Eleven Consecutive Strikes!

On the other side, Wang coldly snorted, “Without the Heart Mantra, the long-range attacks of the Peerless Heroic Fist are far too weakened. As expected, only close combat can unleash its true power!”

He formed fist seals with both hands, his entire being radiating with surging arcane power!

Peerless Heroic Fist – Overturning Heavens Stance!
