The Seventh Rank Martial King is already considered a strong practitioner in the Mortal Realm. A martial artist can only be considered to have truly mastered their craft and become a strong practitioner when they reach the level of the Seventh Rank Martial King.
In the imperial court, there was an unwritten rule that anyone who wanted to be an official in the imperial court or a general in the army had to become one of the Seven Martial Kings; otherwise, they were not qualified to attend court as an official or lead troops.
Only when they become Qiying Wuwang can they be considered to have entered the eyes of those big shots. The bodyguards responsible for protecting the big shots are all Qiying Wuwang. Some poor scholars, after being promoted to Qiying Wuwang, start to make a living on their own and serve as bodyguards for the nobles.
Su Dao Xing was born into a noble family, and in the eyes of his elders, he was considered capable of shouldering the responsibility of the family and not disgracing the family's reputation. Even if Su Dao Xing returned to the Su family now, he would still have a respectable job and become a member of the Su family. Unfortunately, his ambitions were not limited to this, and the Seventh Grade was just his starting point.
Su Dao Xing became the Seventh Grade Wu Wang, his eyesight, comprehension, endurance, and functions of various organs all improved to a certain extent. It can be said that he is no longer an ordinary Wu Wang, even if surrounded by a group of low-grade Wu Wangs, he can still retreat unharmed.
"In just two short months, I've had consecutive breakthroughs. The speed of the breakthrough is too fast, which is not beneficial for my future cultivation. It seems that I need to slow down the pace of my advancement." Su Dao Xing silently warned himself and when he absorbed the power of the divine statue in the Holy Temple again, he only tempered his physical body without increasing his enlightenment.
Two months later, Su Dao Xing's physical body had been strengthened to the point where even a 9th rank Martial King couldn't easily break through. His comprehension had reached the pinnacle of a 7th rank Martial King. Helpless, he once again broke through another seal on his body.
Su Dao Xing became the Eighth Rank Martial King, with Peng Yun Shang, Luo Song Tao and Wang Chao, these famous students within Hu Qing Fu, having the same level of attainment, qualified to become a sect leader.
Su Dao Xing became the Eighth Rank Martial King, he felt that his previous self was isolated from the vast world, now his self had merged into the vast world, able to better perceive everything in the vast world, with every move and gesture, power radiated outward.
In the history of Huqing Fu, there have been countless genius students like fish crossing the river. However, a genius student who broke through three shackles on his body for more than three months is extremely rare. Su Daoying is one of them, and if this gets out, it will definitely shock the entire Huqing Fu.
Su Dao Xing became the Eighth Rank Martial King and continued to cultivate, until more than a month later, he vaguely felt that he had entered the threshold of the Ninth Rank Martial King, and further progress would allow him to break through the ninth shackle on his body.
"I must defeat Peng Yunxiang within the Eight Desolate Wasteland and return the shame of before, intact." Su Daoxue hoped to have a battle with Peng Yunxiang, to wash away his past humiliation.
Peng City Society is a well-known organization in Huaqing Prefecture. Peng Yunxiang is not only one of the goddesses in the academy, but also one of the many strong ones. Her prestige in the academy is no less than that of Wang Chao and Luo Songtao. Originally, Su Daolin's third challenge was supposed to be her. Later, Kong Feixuan had some things to take care of, so Su Daolin left Huaqing Prefecture with Kong Feixuan, missing his battle with Peng Yunxiang.
Peng Cheng She rented a separate courtyard within the school, inside which there was a martial arts arena. All around, students were practicing Peng family boxing and Peng family knife techniques.
The moment Su Dao Xing stepped into the other courtyard where Peng Cheng's residence was located, the noisy courtyard suddenly fell silent.
He is Su Dao Xing, Su Dao Lin's cousin.
"Rumor has it that Director Peng beat Su Daozu so badly that he broke several bones. Is he coming to our company just to ask the director for an explanation?"
"The arrogant Wu Wang dares to come to Peng City, no need for the city master to take action, just let Peng Jia Yu or Peng Lian Shan make a move, and he will be defeated."
The students of Peng Cheng Society looked down on Su Dao Xing, they absolutely dared not imagine that Su Dao Xing was now a person who could stand shoulder to shoulder with someone like Wang Chao.
Su Dao Xing calmly replied and walked steadily into the Peng Cheng Temple.
"How dare you trespass on Peng City's territory, are you tired of living?" The tall and majestic Peng Jia Yu blocked Su Dao Xing's path, sneering coldly as he stared at him.
Peng Jiayu was only a mediocre martial artist, but he had a genius sister Peng Biyu. In the Peng family, Peng Biyu's status was even higher than that of Peng Yunxiang. She was someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Gong Feixuan and Su Daolin, and even Peng Yunxiang couldn't compare to her.
Su Dao Xing casually pulled out a challenge letter and unfolded it, throwing it straight over.
Peng Jiayu reached out to take the challenge letter, but was knocked back three steps by the enormous power on the paper before he could dissipate it.
A master's skill is evident from the very start.
Even the Seven Martial Marquises, Wu Wang and Peng Jia Yu suffered losses at Su Dao's hands, a testament to his strength.
"How could Su Dao Xing have advanced to the 8th rank of Wu Wang, otherwise how dare he challenge President Peng?" Some students began to doubt Su Dao Xing's cultivation level.
"Jiayu retreat, let me try the depth of this ghostly talent." Peng Lianshan, also a Seven Coffin Martial King, growled and stood three zhang away from Su Dao Xing, casually shooting out a flying knife.
The flying knife transformed into a cold gleam and arrived in an instant.
Su Dao Xing's expression remained unchanged, and with a casual flick of his sleeve, he wrapped the flying knife in it. In an instant, the flying knife shot back out.
Peng Lianshan was shocked and quickly dodged the flying knife with his agile movements.
The flying knife was too fast, amazingly fast!
Pfft!
That flying knife directly pierced Peng Lianshan's shoulder, causing him to lose his combat strength.
"Despicable!" Peng Lianshan stopped the bleeding with his hand, his icy eyes staring at Su Dao Xing.
"Su Dao Xing Gongzi." Peng Yun Shang couldn't help but walk out of a room, and slightly bowed to Su Dao Xing, "I heard that Su Dao Lin Gongzi defeated Wang Chao in battle, defeated Song Tao, and gained great fame. In comparison, Dao Xingzi seems somewhat weaker."
"That's enough. I've paid Peng Shouzhang back." Su Daoming gazed at Peng Yunxiang with a playful and meaningful look, without the usual animosity or warmth of meeting someone for the first time. He simply stared at her quietly, trying to read her thoughts.
Peng Yun's finger pointed to a martial arts stage in another courtyard, saying: "Dào Xǐng gōng zǐ must have just wanted to spar with Yún shàng, let's go up on the martial arts stage and have a match."
Su Dao Xing and Peng Yun leaped lightly onto the martial arts stage.
As soon as Wu Wang stepped onto the martial arts stage, it was equivalent to signing a life-and-death contract with each other.
"Please!"
"Please!"
Peng Yunxiang didn't know how deep Su Daoxian's skills were now and didn't dare to be arrogant, so he immediately used his own specialty, the Peng family fist.
Boom!
Su Dao Woke up with a punch, after sending first, it hit Peng Yun Shang's fist, striking her to retreat three steps in a row.
"I was just testing Su Dao Xing's strength, I didn't expect that after a few days he would be able to use his fists to repel me." Peng Yun Shuang's inner shock can be imagined, she gathered her spirit and sent out a punch like the wind.
Su Dao Xing was not afraid of her fists at all, and countered with his own fists, gaining the upper hand.
The Peng family disciples who were watching the battle from all around couldn't help but feel astonished in their hearts, the Peng family boxing that they revered as a god was actually being suppressed everywhere by Su Dao Xing.
"How detestable!" Peng Yun's eyes flashed coldly as she struck out with her Mountain-Cleaving Fist.
She launched a series of powerful punches at Su Dao Xing's abdomen, and such a strong punch would shatter the internal organs of an ordinary warrior king, but when it hit Su Dao Xing's abdomen, it was like hitting a leather surface, and the powerful force was neutralized by Su Dao Xing's body.
"What a strong defense!" Peng Yunxiang was surprised again, she found that her own fist method couldn't break through Su Daowu's defense.
Su Dao Xing's fist struck Peng Yun Shuang's waist with a loud crash, sending her tumbling to one side.
"What a good opportunity!" Su Dao Xing sprang up, his right palm like a knife, cutting towards Peng Yun Shuang's neck.
"You fool, you think I've lost my balance and now's your chance? Don't be ridiculous!" Peng Yunxiang produced two curved knives in her hands, the blades facing opposite directions. As Su Daoming pounced over, she slashed out with one of them.
Rustle!
Su Dao Xing retreated in time, but his chest clothes were still torn open, and a shallow blood mark appeared on his chest.
Peng Yunshang secretly sighed and said it was a pity that this move did not hurt her opponent.
Peng Yun's body method was strange and unpredictable, like a ghost appearing left and right, suddenly materializing in an unexpected position, striking with one swift slash.
Su Dao Xing summoned his utmost spirit, his physical defense was even stronger, but he couldn't defend against the attack of the extraordinary curved knife, so he had to dodge and carefully observe her swordsmanship.
Two curved knives in Peng Yun's hands seemed to come alive, slashing out a series of knife lights, like a deer hanging its horns, leaving no trace.
Su Dao Xing gradually gained the upper hand, his heart hardened as he parried Peng Yun Shuang's knife. A huge gash appeared on his shoulder, with blood and flesh rolling out, revealing the white bone beneath. Ignoring his injury, in that fleeting moment, he struck Peng Yun Shuang's neck with a palm.
Plop!
Peng Yunshang was slapped unconscious by Su Daoxing and fell directly onto the martial arts stage.
"The boss has been knocked unconscious!"
"How is this possible? The president is the Eight-armed Wu Wang, a recognized strongman of the younger generation in the school, and yet he was defeated by the unknown Su Dao Xing in just a few moves."
"Su Daolin is indeed formidable, defeating Wang Chao and losing to Luo Songtao, making the students of Huqing Prefecture's Eight Schools of Martial Arts dare not challenge him."
The students of Pengcheng Society were in an uproar, looking at Su Dao Xing's back with fear.
Wang Xiang and Wang Li were even more shocked, they clearly knew that Su Daoxue was just a five-star martial king three months ago, but unexpectedly, in less than half a year, Su Daoxue had become an eight-star martial king who could defeat Peng Yunxiang.
Su Dao Xing's students at the Peng City Academy bowed in unison, their cold gazes sweeping across Peng Jia Yu, Peng Lian Shan, Wang Li, and Wang Xiang, causing those students' faces to change color, not even daring to breathe.
Until Su Daoyu floated away, the students of Pengcheng Society finally felt relieved.
Peng Jiayu fed Peng Yunshang some water, and only then did Peng Yunshang slowly come to.
The students of Peng City Society did not spread the news that Su Dao Xing had defeated Peng Yun Rong, as they were afraid of losing face. As a result, the students of Hua Qing Fu still didn't know that Su Dao Xing was already an Eight-Sectioned Stronghold expert, and only Peng City Society and some students who got along with them knew about Su Dao Xing's strength.
