Chapter 19 Unprecedented

"You newcomers, with your limited cultivation levels, are somehow each more arrogant than the last," the tall woman emerged from the four examiners, and despite wearing loose martial attire, her curvaceous figure couldn't be hidden.

"If you want to challenge my grandfather, you'll have to get past me first." The tall woman exuded a domineering aura, the strongest among the four, a cultivator at the Perfection Stage of Innate.

She shaped her fingers into claws and lunged forward with a leap, aiming to grab Su Hang's face in a fierce and icy motion while simultaneously lifting her knee straight into his groin.

Su Hang stood still with a slight smile, only moving when the tall woman was less than twenty centimeters away from him, performing three actions in an instant.

"Smack!"

He slapped her thigh, knocking her incoming knee away.

Then, a palm chopped at her wrist, opening up her eagle claw, and lastly, he flicked his finger against her delicate nose.

"Thud, thud, thud..."

The tall woman stumbled back three steps, unable to stabilize herself, and knelt on one knee, covering her nose in pain.

"Violence Value +10, total Violence Value is 104!"

"Still think I'm arrogant?" Su Hang's mouth curled into a faint smile.

From this single exchange, it was clear that Su Hang's attack speed and strength both far surpassed hers.

Rubbing her tingling thigh, the tall woman grunted, "What's so great about that? My grandfather will defeat you within three moves."

"I've been sitting for too long; time to stretch my limbs." Deputy Chief Liu slowly stood up, his body emanating a mountain-like dense aura, pressing directly towards Su Hang.

Su Hang stood with his hands behind his back and smiled faintly, as if the overwhelming presence was merely a gentle breeze brushing against his face.

"Young man, you make the first move," Deputy Chief Liu said upon seeing Su Hang standing like a Heavenly Pillar, seemingly full of openings yet paradoxically without any, realizing that the kid was indeed extraordinary, just as Meng Wudi had described.

With a chuckle, Su Hang replied, "Elder, you are of advanced age, so you should make the first move. I won't take advantage of you."

Hearing this, the tall woman muttered with a huff, "This guy is so irritating, I really want to beat him up."

Deputy Chief Liu couldn't be bothered to waste more words, shaped his hand into a claw, and with a forceful lift, True Qi surged throughout his body, manifesting a gigantic eagle shadow behind him.

"Grandfather, that kid has some weird strength, it could very well be innate divine power," the tall woman warned.

Deputy Chief Liu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he discarded the thought of approaching Su Hang. The True Qi inside him swarmed out, forming a huge energy claw that, with his wave, clawed directly at Su Hang.

"Sky-Splitting Axe!"

Su Hang took a bold step forward, with True Qi surging out from his palm, wrapping around it and forming an axe shape.

This move, surpassing the other seven styles, had entered the Great Achievement Realm and was the most powerful.

With a decisive and fierce chop, the axe blade burst forth with a dazzling light, splitting the energy eagle claw.

"How powerful, he can even tear through an attack from the Early Stage of Grandmaster. Is he really just at the Innate Initial Stage?" Ruan Lingling exclaimed.

In that instant, Deputy Chief Liu launched eighteen consecutive attacks; like a vast net, they enveloped Su Hang from above, bristling with murderous intent.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Su Hang blocked all attacks with more than ten consecutive chops, studying Deputy Chief Liu's Great Eagle Claw Technique closely.

The "Kunpeng Claw" from the "Eight Desolations Scatter Hand" is renowned as the ultimate claw technique, the number one claw of the world. Once mastered, one could discern the mysteries of all claw techniques under heaven.

After exchanging blows, Su Hang had already grasped the essence of the Great Eagle Claw Technique and said to Deputy Chief Liu, "If this is all the strength you've got, you might as well admit defeat now."

"You sly boy, how dare you underestimate me," Deputy Chief Liu's giant eagle shadow materialized its wings, which flickered fiercely.

Deputy Chief Liu charged like lightning, wearing gauntlets with spikes resembling eagle claws on his hands.

This was an Eighth Grade Spiritual Artifact, activated and blossoming with spiritual light and exuding a piercing sharpness as it clawed down towards Su Hang.

Su Hang struck after but arrived before, slicing towards the attack's weak point. Deputy Director Liu avoided contact and circled around Su Hang at high speed, launching continuous attacks, all of which were intercepted.

Deputy Director Liu attacked with growing frustration; after several exchanges, he unleashed both claws in a fierce burst, his claw shadows nearly shrouding the space.

"Swoosh!"

A faint red glow appeared on Su Hang's hand; a fierce aura spread out, colliding head-on with Deputy Director Liu's assault, and a series of loud booms erupted.

Besides Meng Wudi, the tall woman, and Li Bobo, the other five couldn't withstand the residual force of the collision and retreated to the door of the room.

Suddenly the two parted ways, the tall woman noticed her grandfather's hands trembling slightly, while Su Hang still stood unperturbed at his spot, unscathed, causing her to inwardly gasp in shock.

"If you have any impressive moves left, hurry up and use them. Otherwise, you'll have no chance," Su Hang said, wanting to know the limit of his combat strength.

It had to be said that Deputy Director Liu was indeed strong; since the exchange began, he hadn't gained much of an advantage, and hadn't even earned a single Point of Violence Value.

Deputy Director Liu, gasping slightly, said, "You are indeed strong, but you've forgotten one thing, Grandmasters possess a capability that you lack."

"You mean casting minor spells?" Su Hang smiled slightly, "Go ahead, I'm a bit curious, what spells have you learned."

"You're too arrogant." Deputy Director Liu immediately formed hand seals, recited an incantation, and pointed at Su Hang, "Imprison!"

From beneath the ground, mud surged forth like a fountain, enveloping Su Hang at its center into a spherical cage, imprisoning him within.

"My Earth Prison Spell has created a cage stronger than one of reinforced concrete; it's all over now!" Deputy Director Liu said, breathing heavily, and smiling at Meng Wudi, "This kid is indeed extraordinary."

"Heaven-Piercing Cannon!"

Su Hang threw a punch, concentrating force into a single point, piercing through the earth prison, cracking it like a spider web, leading to the collapse of the entire structure.

"Your Earth Prison Spell barely reaches entry level; it's too fragile. What else have you got? Continue!" Su Hang said with a teasing smile.

Having just cast the Earth Prison Spell, Deputy Director Liu had expended a great deal of True Qi and had no strength left to fight. Upon hearing Su Hang's words, he laughed and said, "New talents replace the old every few hundred years. Good lad, I have never seen a freak like you before. For your entry test, I'll give you an unprecedented 'S' grade rating."

Su Hang knew that if it really came to a life and death struggle, he would probably have to use the Purple Gold Bell to kill Deputy Director Liu.

"Someone of his level can just barely qualify to be my underling," Li Bobo said coolly with a sideways glance, "You can't even beat my underling, so no one in this room is qualified to test me."

"Let me keep you company," Meng Wudi slowly drew the broad blade from his back, and in an instant, his presence transformed into that of a ferocious beast, a violent wind picking up in the room, with the shadow of the blade flickering.

Excluding Su Hang and Deputy Director Liu, all the others fled the Martial Arts Practice Room like startled rabbits, driven by instinct.

Li Bobo ran the fastest.

Meng Wudi sheathed his broad blade and upon seeing Su Hang standing calmly, he couldn't help but offer a slight smile of admiration.

Seeing Li Bobo cowering outside, his face immediately turned sour and he barked, "Get back in here!"

"Arrogance without strength is but the role of a clown," said Deputy Director Liu disdainfully.

Li Bobo retorted stiffly, "I'm no match for Director Meng, but it'll be effortless for me to take you down, as well as that surnamed Su."

Deputy Director Liu was a Grandmaster and an elder who had just been defeated by Su Hang; he was already feeling unpleasant, and seeing this youngster daring to challenge him, he was irate and about to make a move.

"Senior, let me do it," Su Hang said, eyes crinkling in a smile as he raised his right hand, bending his fingers into a claw, as if he was about to use a claw technique.

Deputy Director Liu nodded and replied, "Good!"

Li Bobo drew a soft sword from his waist and poured True Qi into it. The blade immediately emitted a purple light, like a purple dragon in motion, striking like lightning.

In an instant, he penetrated Su Hang, leaving a through and through hole, but everyone immediately realized that it was just an afterimage left by Su Hang.
