Holy Fist!-Chapter 1114 - 473: Super First-class Sect, Double Amplification Effect!
Ten minutes later, at the He Xian Martial Arts Hall.
Numerous martial artists from the Eastern Secret Martial World were anxiously waiting. They discussed among themselves, speculating who would win and who would lose.
Inside the martial arts hall.
The elders and disciples of the He Xian Martial Arts Hall were also whispering, their voices rising and falling. However, most of them were biased towards the Crane Master, believing that Liu Heming would win. After all, this was their own Pavilion Master, so the disciples naturally leaned towards him. What’s more, Bai Xiao had just become a grandmaster, and the stereotype was that newcomers would struggle against those immersed in this path for many years. Most people thought this way. However, among the leaders of the East Nine Gates watching, some had a different opinion. Some believed Dragon Sect Bai Xiao could hold his own against the Crane Master.
In any case, it was all just speculation.
The only way to know the truth was to wait patiently.
In the Martial Arts Arena, Liu Xinzong wore a white robe, his fists slightly clenched, his breath rapid, sweat breaking out in his palms, utterly unlike his usual calm and leisurely demeanor. Since Liu Xinzong stepped into the Secret Martial Martial Path, Pavilion Master Liu Heming had been his role model and goal. Liu Xinzong unconsciously imitated Liu Heming, such as wearing all white.
In the Eastern Dark World Fighting Competition, his defeat to Bai Xiao had dealt him a significant blow, but it wasn’t enough to shatter his dao heart. However, if his role model, Crane Master Liu Heming, was defeated by Bai Xiao, he would really begin to doubt his own martial path. Once such emotions arose, they would become an obsession.
He might need a long time to get past this hurdle.
"Hopefully, the Pavilion Master will win!"
Liu Xinzong silently prayed; in his heart, Crane Master Liu Heming was invincible.
Just as everyone anticipated.
In the sky, a white figure suddenly sped through the clouds, streaking across the sky. Then, like a shooting star, it plummeted into the martial arts hall.
"The one returning is... Crane Master!"
"It’s the Pavilion Master!"
"Hahaha, wonderful, the Pavilion Master won!"
Suddenly, the courtyard erupted with murmurs, and the entire scene became lively. The elders and disciples of the He Xian Martial Arts Hall were beaming with joy. Only a few remained calm and looked at Liu Heming.
They saw an old man, dressed in white with white hair, slowly land.
It was visible that his combat clothes were severely damaged, faint bloodstains seeping through. Liu Heming’s mouth held traces of blood that hadn’t been wiped clean.
"Could it be..."
Those few who maintained their doubts thought to themselves.
"I lost."
In the central courtyard, surrounded by cheering voices, Liu Heming spoke slowly. His voice was calm, as he had long accepted this reality.
He lost, lost to Bai Xiao, lost to the Dragon Sect!
"What!?"
Suddenly, the surroundings fell into silence.
The people who had opened champagne froze in their tracks, the smiles on their faces stiffened, and a wave of bittersweet emotion spread rapidly.
"How could it be?"
"How could the invincible Pavilion Master lose!?"
"Could it really be Dragon Sect Bai Xiao who won?"
Many elders and disciples murmured in disbelief.
In the center of the crowd, only one figure in white remained motionless, rigid like a puppet. Liu Xinzong’s mouth hung slightly open, his breath halted.
He seemed to hear a movement from deep within his heart.
Crack.
It was the sound of something breaking.
Soon, the news of Dragon Sect Bai Xiao’s victory over Crane Master Liu Heming spread inside and outside, and many martial artists outside the He Xian Martial Arts Hall also heard the news.
Instantly, a deafening discussion arose like a tidal wave.
It was as if a boiling teapot, buzzing and bustling to an incredible degree. Even when the Dark World Fighting Competition and Martial Arts Competition had started, they hadn’t reached this level of intensity. Furthermore, this situation rapidly spread from East Sea City, instantly sweeping across the entire Eastern Secret Martial World.
East Ten Gates, Heavenly Gang Association, Eastern Alliance.
From first-class sects to unranked sects, almost all secret martial cultivators received news today, a shocking message.
The newly promoted grandmaster, Dragon Sect Bai Xiao, had challenged Crane Master Liu Heming at ten o’clock this morning. In the end, Dragon Sect defeated Crane Master, becoming the strongest in the east!
Eastern number one, Dragon Sect Bai Xiao!
As a result, the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts Hall, which had recently been promoted to a first-class sect, soared and was immediately listed among the super first-class sects.
It would stand alongside the He Xian Martial Arts Hall.
Becoming the two most transcendent peak sects among the East Ten Gates.
...
At 10:30.
East Sea City, Qunxiang Mountain, Dragon Elephant Martial Arts Hall.
The mountain had green pools, and on the island stood the Enlightenment Tree.
Bai Xiao sat cross-legged, eyelids drooping, like a silent statue.
Suddenly, a stream of white and golden qi streaked across the sky, swiftly flying toward him. Shoo, shoo, shoo, the light all merged into Bai Xiao’s body, turning his entire being into the color of glazed golden light, resembling a Buddha.
"Swoosh!"
Bai Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, his expression calm.
The Dragon Elephant avatar, overpowering the Crane Immortal Pavilion Master, was within his expectations. The Dragon Elephant Scripture was his strongest forbidden secret martial, possessing unimaginable power, especially as it continuously devoured other Dragon Elephant Secret Martial arts, becoming ever stronger. The Dragon Elephant avatar was naturally not comparable to ordinary avatars.
"Chairman Ouyang once discussed the strength and weakness among grandmasters with me."
In the grandmaster realm, there are no levels, only differences in combat strength. The only way to identify perhaps lies in whether the grandmaster has cultivated their forbidden secret martial art to completion. Based on combat strength, grandmasters can be roughly divided into three stages. The first stage is when the forbidden secret martial is in its growth stage, and the application of grandmaster power is not yet skilled. The second stage is when the forbidden secret martial reaches completion, with every move carrying its formidable power. The third stage is when the grandmaster’s power becomes even stronger, perhaps even refining the essence of their martial path.
