Chapter 670 - 443: Celestial Ruins Realm! (Double-Length - )
"You really did it, Changming! You truly never disappoint me!" Prince Cui felt extremely satisfied.
Especially the last two kicks from Song Changming, which seemed specially aimed to vent his frustration.
"It’s nothing," Song Changming replied, as he indeed felt it was nothing significant.
Initially, he thought it would be a fierce battle and did not rule out the possibility of his own defeat.
But as the fight went on, he felt that Gao Qiu’s Ruler’s strength was somewhat overestimated by him.
Though both were Martial Arts Grandmasters, in some aspects, he might not even match Zhao Family Ancestor Zhao Wen Ruo, who was severely injured when Song killed him.
However, as time passed, he couldn’t quite recall where exactly Gao Qiu’s Ruler fell short in comparison.
And in this regard, he wasn’t mistaken.
Even with talent, Gao Qiu’s Ruler had only been in the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm for a few years, no match for the lifetime cultivation achievements of the Zhao Family Ancestor.
It should be known that the Zhao Family Ancestor’s final Purple Mansion Essence Blood yielded seven full drops for Song Changming.
Whereas Gao Qiu’s Ruler’s Purple Mansion had only three drops of Essence Blood, a stark difference in Grandmaster Cultivation!
"Thank you for letting me win." Song Changming sheathed his sword and cupped his hands toward the direction where Gao Qiu’s Ruler had vanished beneath the clouds.
"You!" After a moment, Gao Qiu’s Ruler returned outside the hall, clutching his waist, which was almost broken by Song Changming’s kick, his face pale, glaring with both anger and resentment.
Despite his desire to continue, he truly had no strength left to fight.
At this moment, Song’s humble words felt even more like humiliation, harsh to the ears.
No matter how thick his skin was, being stared at with mocking eyes from the surrounding crowd left him mentally devastated.
Before the fight, he never imagined he would lose.
Not only had he not expected it, but neither had the Prince Rui behind him, thinking that this move would become the biggest stepping stone for Song Changming and Prince Cui’s rise.
Thus, after twelve consecutive victories, Song Changming defeated a Martial Arts Grandmaster as an Innate Martial Artist, in the Cloud Fighting in front of the Emperor’s Hall.
Such an achievement, for a hundred years past and a hundred years to come, is hard to find a second instance!
Seeing Prince Cui looking at him with smug satisfaction, Prince Rui’s face looked as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a lump.
"Come back, Changming." Prince Cui this time did not use spiritual communication but directly called out.
Indicating that they had won enough matches and would let others have a turn on the stage.
Song Changming moved gracefully back to Prince Cui’s side, his immense Qi Blood and Gang Qi retracting with him.
His aura became restrained, just as low-profile as before, but now, no one dared to ignore Song Changming like before.
"This one has the power to shatter the sky and possesses a Demon God Body, not to be measured by ordinary martial artists!"
Whether among the accompanying martial artists or the courtier Kings, everyone reached a final judgment about Song Changming.
He couldn’t be measured by ordinary standards, a powerhouse of body refining!
He appeared as an innate martial artist, yet already possessed the combat strength of a grandmaster powerhouse!
"Truly strong..."
Among the company, those innate realm martial artists had completely given up on comparing themselves to Song Changming.
However, quite a few grandmaster powerhouses among the company grew even more interested in Song Changming.
If not for Prince Cui calling Song Changming back in time, perhaps some martial arts grandmasters might have been willing to lower themselves to gauge Song Changming’s depth.
One should know, just now Song Changming defeated Gao Qiu’s Ruler without any injuries, and fully suppressed the Martial Arts Grandmaster with ease.
This made it clear that Song Changming still had unused strength!
Just how strong Song Changming could be at full strength, and what level his combat power was among Martial Arts Grandmasters, is truly unknown.
Even Song Changming himself is not too certain.
The strongest opponent he previously killed was Master Baitian.
But Master Baitian was a Great Demon, not a Human Race Martial Arts Grandmaster, thus hard to measure.
And among Martial Arts Grandmasters, the strength gap can be worlds apart.
Martial Arts Grandmaster is just a generalized term.
As long as one opens a Purple Mansion, they can call themselves a grandmaster of the era.
But the true differentiation of cultivation strength among Martial Arts Grandmasters doesn’t lie in the Purple Mansion, but in the Purple Mansion Essence Blood refined over a lifetime of cultivation.
No matter what, Gao Qiu’s Ruler, who only refined three drops of Purple Mansion Essence Blood, could not compare to Zhao Family Ancestor, who possessed seven drops of Essence Blood.
When Zhao Family Ancestor lost to Song Changming, it was merely due to his grievously injured state.
Moreover, the level of Martial Arts Mastery also constitutes an important part of combat strength.
Song Changming’s Martial Arts Mastery, after mastering numerous Martial Technique Realms, integrating this vast Martial Arts Experience, even at less than a hundred years old, has already earned the title of grandmaster!
If he were to establish a school, he possesses that qualification and ability!
However, he simply doesn’t have such an intention at the moment.
As Song Changming voluntarily stepped back, those remaining innate realm companions secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
They did not want to become the backdrop for Song Changming’s continued victories, and now they finally got the chance to show themselves, one by one stepping onto the stage.
Among them, some had already participated in Cloud Fighting, while others, like Song Changming, were there for the first time.
Without Song Changming’s overwhelming strength, their contests indeed became more engaging to watch.
After all, a one-sided battle can never be as exciting as a closely matched showdown.
Every martial technique and style displayed was like a hundred flowers blooming in competition.
