Chapter 152: Invincible

"Heh, is that so? Watch my changing move!" The black iron sword in Shen An's hand shifted abruptly, unleashing an offensive of extreme ferocity, accompanied by a violent, vibrating momentum.

It was an utterly matchless presence.

This terrifying sword thrust struck Huang Changqing's arm, even slicing a tear into Huang Changqing's cyan martial arts robe, though the strike failed to actually injure him.

Yet, even this alone was enough to provoke widespread shock.

"Did you all see that? This is his true strength! It's simply terrifying. Even Director Huang Changqing couldn't fend off such a terrifying power."

"An offensive that even Director Huang Changqing couldn't block—just how did he manage to pull that off?"

"Is that the Earl with a hundred-thousand-point talent rating? Isn't this just a bit too strong? An existence like this might actually be able to push back Director Huang Changqing."

"If Director Huang Changqing really loses, we're going to have a great show to watch. He represents the entire Raging Battle Martial Arts Association! If he loses, wouldn't that mean the entire Raging Battle Martial Arts Association is inferior to this young Earl?"

Huang Changqing spoke in a low voice, a gleaming light flashing in his eyes: "I never would have expected this. I truly never expected a young Earl to possess such terrifying power. It really makes one look at him in a new light."

"You're only looking at me in a new light now? What a pity that this is still merely scratching the surface," Shen An chuckled.

"What? This is still just scratching the surface? What a bold Earl, and what an arrogant tone! Today, I'd like to see how you crack my profound Tai Chi mysteries!" Huang Changqing declared.

Huang Changqing had spent a full ten years cultivating the profound mysteries of Tai Chi, and now he felt it was at least presentable. Wielding these Tai Chi mysteries, he could even rival some late-stage Tier 3 masters.

Since Shen An was only at the mid-stage of Tier 3, Huang Changqing did not believe Shen An could pose any real threat to him.

"What? It's actually the profound mysteries of Tai Chi! Could Director Huang Changqing be planning to use that ultimate technique he has always been reluctant to display? It's simply unimaginable."

"If Director Huang Changqing unleashes the profound mysteries of Tai Chi, his victory is assured. As far as I know, when Director Huang Changqing employs his Tai Chi mysteries, he can even rival late-stage Tier 3 powerhouses."

"Rival a late-stage Tier 3? Are you exaggerating? Just how powerful are late-stage Tier 3 Awakened ones? There isn't even a single one within the entire Raging Battle Martial Arts Association."

Back then, Director Huang Changqing had used his Tai Chi mysteries to exchange ten blows with a late-stage Tier 3 expert. Although Director Huang Changqing ultimately lost, that battle record was more than enough to prove his capability.

Shen An smiled. "It seems your Tai Chi mysteries are indeed formidable. Let me show you the might of my own technique! This move of mine is called the Vibrating Fist!"

Shen An had once used this very fist to shatter a tank, and he figured it should come in handy now.

Putting away the black iron sword, Shen An began to mobilize the primordial energy surging through his entire body. In an instant, his aura multiplied manifold in intensity.

Observing the aura erupting from Shen An, Huang Changqing felt a slight surge of surprise; he had not expected Shen An to be this powerful.

"I never imagined your strength had reached such a degree. It seems the gap between you and me isn't all that vast, but now that I am unleashing the profound mysteries of Tai Chi, it is practically impossible for you to block it," Huang Changqing said.

"Then let us put it to the test," Shen An replied.

"Could the technique the young Earl from the Grandmasters Council is currently displaying be the legendary Vibrating Fist? It is said that when practiced to the extreme, the Vibrating Fist can even shatter a giant boulder from a distance. I wonder if that rumor is true or false," an Awakened one remarked in astonishment.

"Shatter a giant boulder from a distance? You aren't joking, are you? How could anyone shatter a giant boulder from a distance? No matter how powerful the Vibrating Fist is, it couldn't possibly reach that level."

"That just shows your ignorance. While the Vibrating Fist is undoubtedly powerful, those who can truly comprehend its essence are exceedingly rare. In the entire Silver City, the number of people who have grasped the essence of the Vibrating Fist does not exceed ten."

"Fewer than ten? Is the Vibrating Fist really that terrifying?"

"Since that young Earl can actually use the Vibrating Fist, does that mean his execution of it will allow him to stand toe-to-toe with Director Huang Changqing?"

Amidst the discussions of the crowd, Shen An remained entirely unfazed. He focused single-mindedly on gathering his primordial energy, channeling all of it into his fist to unleash a blow of astonishing power.

"It seems you have truly grasped the essence of the Vibrating Fist. I never expected that not only has your strength reached the mid-stage of Tier 3, but you have also practiced the Vibrating Fist to the realm of great accomplishment. You truly live up to your reputation as a young Earl recognized by the Grandmasters Council," Huang Changqing said.

"Director, if you are ready, prepare to take my punch!" Shen An said calmly.

"Hmph, please go ahead, Lord Earl. My Tai Chi mysteries excel at borrowing strength to counter strength. Your incoming attack might not necessarily be able to injure me." Director Huang Changqing was filled with absolute confidence in himself. He believed he could thoroughly defeat Shen An; even if Shen An used the Vibrating Fist, victory would still elude him.

"A clash between the Vibrating Fist and the profound mysteries of Tai Chi, a battle between a young Earl and the Director of the Raging Battle Martial Arts Association—this is truly something to look forward to."

"Heh, magnificent! Absolutely magnificent!"

"I still prefer that hot-blooded and immensely powerful young Earl. I'm rooting for him to defeat Director Huang Changqing. Although it's just a duel, it's truly... so blood-pumping."

The terrifying primordial energy gathered on Shen An's fist was unleashed; his punch power was enough to pierce straight through a tank, an absolute force that ordinary people could never hope to endure.

With a blindingly fast punch, swift as a lightning bolt tearing through the darkness, he struck Huang Changqing right in the chest. Huang Changqing mobilized his primordial energy to parry, yet it seemed completely unable to withstand the impact.

He frantically revolved his Tai Chi mysteries, attempting to dissolve Shen An's formidable offensive, but he quickly realized that all his efforts were in vain.

Shen An's Vibrating Fist was simply too powerful—unimaginably and terrifyingly powerful.

This was the embodiment of absolute strength breaking all techniques.

At that exact moment, an even greater force erupted from the fist in Shen An's hand, as if the man before him had completely transformed into the armored tank he had once encountered.

A sudden, violent explosion of primordial energy burst forth, terrifying in its devastating might.

With a heavy thud, Director Huang Changqing was driven back a full dozen steps, barely managing to steady his footing. The blood and qi churned wildly within his body, defying all his attempts to control them.

"Why? Why is his Vibrating Fist able to unleash such astonishing power? A level of strength like this is something I have never seen nor heard of before," Huang Changqing thought inwardly, shaken to his core.

The power currently being unleashed by Shen An could only be described as terrifying to the extreme.
