Chapter 262 Part 2: Superb Internal Strength (2)

Who is Wu Qiankun?

At the top of the Spiritual Refining List is Wu Qiankun, the current leader of the Wuji Association, hailed as one of the martial artists closest to being a Martial Saint and the strongest among the three thousand disciples under Martial Saint.

Formerly, Wu Qizheng from Nan Province disguised as a Martial Saint, was born with extraordinary qualities. He was able to kill Taoist Qingyang, a foundation building cultivator from Xuantian Sect, despite being besieged by many cultivators.

Therefore, as the strongest disciple under Martial Saint, Wu Qiankun naturally had to become even stronger.

After acquiring the Taotie Swallowing Heaven Skill and devouring several inhumans, he had already surpassed his previous self. He believed that in the current martial arts world, there were very few who could stand against him.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Wu Qiankun is one of the top martial artists at the forefront of martial arts today.

Of course, excluding Martial Saint.

Regardless of whether Martial Saint is alive or dead, he would always be excluded from the Tide Listening Building’s Martial Arts Ranking List and any other rankings.

"I have long heard that members of the Qiao family are fearless and brave, and it’s true."

Wu Qiankun said faintly,

"I heard that once in Nan Province, a Qiao family member boldly challenged a Martial Saint, asking if they could defeat our Qiao family members. "

"So now…"

"It is time for your Qiao family members to sacrifice for the greater good!"

Just as he finished speaking.

Air gushed out from the densely packed circular holes on Wu Qiankun’s back again, and his figure instantly streaked across the sky like a shooting star, leaving a fleeting trail of black and red energy in the air.

"Flesh Changing Skill·Ex-human Transformation, Star Strike Fist!"

His fist rapidly expanded and turned red, swelling to nearly half the size of a person in an instant, almost filling Qiao Mu’s field of vision.

Amid the flashing lights, Qiao Mu also made a move.

"Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method, Fourfold Wave."

Qiao Mu, as usual, started using the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method, with his whole body covered in a blood-red aura, forming crimson ripples like ocean waves gathering between his fists.

With a loud bang, the two exchanged punches, releasing a powerful air flow that swept in all directions.

Wei En, standing beside Qiao Mu, immediately turned pale. He swiftly flung his cloak behind him, flew backwards for several meters, and barely managed to land steadily on his feet.

Although he was known for his exceptional agility, Wei En, only at the first level of Spiritual Refining Period in martial arts cultivation, was easily knocked over by the aftermath of their clash.

After he landed, Wei En looked up to see Qiao Mu and Wu Qiankun standing about three to four meters apart, with the ground beneath them cracking like a spider web, dirt and rocks flying, and waves of air swirling around them.

Both of their faces and expressions showed no signs of victory or defeat, leaving Wei En unable to determine the outcome of their exchange.

"A member of the Qiao family… I see now. I understand," Wu Qiankun suddenly muttered softly.

He suddenly leaped up, a jet of air bursting from his back, and within a few breaths, he had flown far away.

It’s uncertain if Wu Qiankun’s Ex-human Transformation can allow him to fly for a long time.

His mid-air explosion over a short distance was even more powerful than a cultivator’s fleeing light technique, surpassing the concept of lightness skill.

"Is this the Wuji Association’s development direction for the Flesh Changing Skill?" Qiao Mu pondered, clenching his fists as his skin cracked, and blood seeped from his pores.

"Brother Qiao?" Wei En was startled by Qiao Mu’s bloody appearance.

He was a bit annoyed at first, but watching the two suddenly fight, he almost got injured by the aftermath.

"It’s nothing, just a flesh wound," Qiao Mu said calmly.

As he spoke, his flesh began to wriggle, pores shrinking, and the cracked skin visibly started to heal at a speedy rate.

Wei En’ eyes widened at the sight.

"Are you top martial artists playing with expensive things like this?"

……………..

Wu Qiankun flew through the sky, feeling a bit out of breath and looking pale, feeling upset without knowing why.

"I can’t defeat him in a short time. If I want to win against him, it will take a while, and it will be troublesome if he gets the upper hand in the end."

He just exchanged a punch with Qiao Mu and roughly figured out some of Qiao Mu’s strengths.

"No need to rush." Wu Qiankun glanced back and calmed down. He muttered quietly to himself.

The Martial Saint of today is not as prominent as the top martial artists from forty years ago.

When Earth Sword Immortal became the best in the world, the Martial Saint was only ranked eleventh in the world, not yet reaching a superb level.

And now? Earth Sword Immortal is gone, while the Martial Saint has risen to become the unrivaled leader in the martial arts world.

So, the outcome for now doesn’t matter.

As long as one’s mindset remains steady, the martial arts spirit remains unaffected. With the highest level of spiritual refining in the Wu Qiankun Spiritual Refining List, a bright future is naturally within reach.

"Our opponents are inhuman. While Qiao family members are still struggling in their training, I just need to defeat a few inhumans to advance in martial arts."

"The next time I meet Qiao Shuanggui, he may not be worthy of being my enemy anymore."

As long as his mental strength holds up, he can continuously progress rapidly through the Taotie Swallowing Heaven Skill.

Being the top-ranked on the Spiritual Refining List, his expertise in the Spiritual Refining Method far surpasses other martial artists, thus giving him the greatest potential in the Taotie Swallowing Heaven Skill.

Despite this, a big question lingers in his mind.

In the brief encounter with Qiao Mu just now, he figured out something.

"Why hasn’t the superb martial artist Qiao Shuanggui achieved a superb transformation in his internal strength yet?" Wu Qiankun furrowed his brow, puzzled.

"The transformation of internal strength is considered one of the top Superb Martial Arts. Why hasn’t he reached this level with his incredible strength?"

"Being a member of the Qiao family, he didn’t take the unconventional path to superb rank by himself… Coming from a martial arts family with more than one superb rank members, didn’t their ancestors inform them about this?"

Wu Qiankun couldn’t understand it for a moment.

"Surely they wouldn’t intentionally save up their internal strength without breaking through, waiting for the right time to unleash it all? What’s the reasoning behind this?"

"Is this a characteristic of the Qiao family’s martial arts, or is it some kind of flaw?"

He could only continue to keep this question in his mind.

Could it be that the Qiao family has been residing on the overseas Hero Island for generations, causing some differences in their martial arts compared to those from Jiu Province?
