Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword

Zhou Heng paused for a moment, with a smile on his face, looking at that Lei Jingtian.

Lei Jingtian's face turned red and then white. He already sensed that the situation was unfavorable, but he had boasted in front of so many people, how could he take it back?

"Don't be so smug, you haven't surpassed—"

Boom!

A powerful fist suddenly hit the Wall of Power, and in the shimmering light, the number "756" appeared.

Surpassed!

Lei Jingtian's face immediately turned pale, his mouth twitching uncontrollably.

"Junior Brother Lei, a bet is a bet. I just wonder if you can afford to lose!" Zhou Heng smiled.

Being in the same academy, everyone at the same realm, although the Divine Aspects may vary, it doesn't fully determine battle power. And martial artists are always unwilling to concede defeat, so everyone addresses each other as junior brothers.

"Big guy, don't think about cheating, or else Tiantian will tell mommy and grandpa to teach you a lesson!" Jiang Zishuang, the naughty girl, threatened immediately.

Lei Jingtian gritted his teeth, his body shuddered slightly, then suddenly his knees gave way, and he knelt down, thump thump thump, knocking his head on the ground three times.

The onlookers were in an uproar, he really kowtowed!

But everyone knew, if Jiang Zishuang wasn't here, Lei Jingtian would have most likely found an excuse to leave, after all, the academy forbids initiating conflict easily. If he left, would Zhou Heng really attack him?

But with Jiang Zishuang speaking up, the situation was different!

Standing behind her were two people with ties to the academy, and one of them was actually a vice principal. What kind of terrifying power was that?

Lei Jingtian was just a loose cultivator, did he have the qualifications to resist?

Zhou Heng had no sympathy, who let Lei Jingtian insult him first? This was a case of reaping what you sow! If he didn't have Chaos Heavenly Scripture, he would be the one being humiliated now!

"Zhou Heng, let's make another bet, if you can break any record here, I'll kowtow to you three more times!" Lei Jingtian stood up; he ignored the gazes of those around him and just stared at Zhou Heng.

The crowd was in an uproar!

What a joke, breaking the records on the Wall of Power?

One must know these records have been set over millions of years. Those who left their names there are prodigies of their times. Just look at the four lists; there are forty names, but more than thirty are repeated!

In other words, only a dozen or so have names immortalized forever!

On average, it would take hundreds of thousands of years for such a prodigy to appear! And all of them became important figures causing turmoil on Duyang Star!

To break a record, one must have at least ninety Divine Aspects!

Zhou Heng? He hasn't even reached fifty Divine Aspects, even if he possessed some high-tier techniques, surpassing the explosive force of ninety Divine Aspects? Impossible!

Lei Jingtian made this bet to put Zhou Heng in a difficult position, so as long as Zhou Heng admits he can't achieve it, Lei Jingtian can save some face.

For a moment, everyone looked at Lei Jingtian with disdain!

Martial artists aren't afraid to lose—who hasn't lost before—but they're afraid to be sore losers, losing and then using petty tricks!

Such a person does not deserve to be called a martial artist!

"Do you dare?" Lei Jingtian looked at Zhou Heng viciously, "If you can't do it, you'll have to kowtow to me three times!"

Is he being coerced?

Zhou Heng sighed, was he a disaster star? Just coming here to test his strength he encounters such nonsense!

However, he was never one to fear trouble!

If the tiger doesn't show its power, do they take him for a sick cat?

His eyes sharpened; although he didn't want to use the Five Elements Rune publicly, he urgently needed contribution value now, so he would use it one more time!

"Fine, I'll take this bet!" Zhou Heng said.

"This guy is crazy!"

"Although he possesses some special cultivation technique, to break a record is too exaggerated!"

"Yes, we are all Bright Immortals, at most we can cultivate Five-Star techniques, otherwise the powerful force would cause irreversible damage to our bodies! That force is magnified five times, even with fifty Divine Aspects, that's only seven hundred fifty Yuan force!"

"Even considering the difference in the condensation of Divine Aspects, at most it's a thousand Yuan force!"

"But to break the record, at least two thousand four hundred sixty-six Yuan force is required!"

"It's more than double, not possible at all!"

"Heh, this kid with a Five-Star technique must be some young master from a powerful family, lived too smoothly since young!"

"So he doesn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth!"

"Serves him right!"

Upon hearing Zhou Heng agree, the crowd was in another uproar, those who do not find trouble won't die; agreeing to this bet, wasn't he digging his own grave?

Indeed, he comes from a powerful family, self-important!

Bah, having left the family, does he still think the world revolves around him?

Zhou Heng smiled faintly; he was here to break records and earn contribution value, regardless of the bet with Lei Jingtian, he would have done it anyway, he wasn't goaded into it.

Although there's no benefit, it's like watching a monkey performing tricks for some amusement.

Zhou Heng smiled at Lei Jingtian, that smile was strange, making Lei Jingtian puzzled, not knowing he had become an amusing performing monkey in Zhou Heng's mind.

"Don't delay, come on!" Lei Jingtian felt uncomfortable being stared at by Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng shook his head and said, "People who don't find trouble won't embarrass themselves, why do you insist on embarrassing yourself, and so eagerly at that? I've seen donkeys with all sorts of issues, but someone as cheap as you? It's my first time!"

"Stop playing with words, go ahead, try it, try it!" Hanging onto the bet was the only thing Lei Jingtian could hold onto now!

Two thousand four hundred sixty-six Yuan Force!

This is a power fundamentally impossible to surpass!

"Since you're so eager to kowtow to me, how could I not grant your wish?" Zhou Heng chuckled heartily, and swung his right fist, a faint golden light flickering.

Bam!

Nine hundred forty-three!

"Hahaha, you're far from it! So far!" Lei Jingtian laughed wildly, "Kid, hurry and kowtow to me! Kowtow!"

"What's the rush!" Zhou Heng said with ease, continuously adjusting the power of the Five Elements Rune, lest he suddenly unleash a force over five thousand Yuan, which would be too exaggerated!

Since Zhou Heng had broken through with punches one after another before, the crowd wasn't too surprised; besides Lei Jingtian, no one urged him, all waiting for Zhou Heng to continue his punches.

Bam!

One thousand fifty-eight!

Bam!

One thousand one hundred sixty-three!

With each punch thrown, the numbers increased considerably, even though it was by hundreds, reaching beyond a thousand merely needed ten punches.

When the numbers exceeded fifteen hundred, everyone could no longer remain calm!

No way, someone with less than fifty Divine Aspects could unleash over fifteen hundred Yuan Force?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Someone had already calculated the extreme limits before, estimating Zhou Heng could unleash at most a thousand Yuan Force; fifteen hundred... how is that possible!

"Unless... he has mastered a technique surpassing Five Stars!"

"Impossible!"

"Yes, impossible! A Bright Immortal can withstand the backlash of a Five-Star Technique at most, otherwise, it's courting death!"

"Unless... this guy's physique is different from typical Bright Immortals?"

"Right, haven't you noticed, this guy's power increases steadily, doesn't it suggest he can't unleash such a powerful force all at once, and must do it gradually?"

"Indeed, indeed, now that you mention it, I also think so!"

"So, this cultivation technique has significant limitations, as long as you engage in a quick battle, not letting him accumulate power, it'll be fine!"

Zhou Heng listened to their discussions, smiling slightly inside; this misunderstanding was exactly what he wanted.

He deliberately created the "flaw" that the power of the Five Elements Rune needed to accumulate gradually to reach its limit, thus naturally reducing the number of people keeping an eye on him! However, once he breaks the record, many would surely fix their sights on him, an inevitable situation.

As long as he advances to the Stellar Realm!

He thought to himself, as long as he advances to the Stellar Realm, he would essentially be a ninety-nine Star King, possibly stepping directly into Star Sovereign, then even facing a Star Emperor, he would have enough self-preservation ability!

The Contribution Value, he must acquire it!

Bam!

One thousand six hundred forty-four!

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

When the numbers on the Wall of Power broke through two thousand, the surrounding crowd fell completely silent, every eye wide open, and the more exaggerated expressions had mouths agape, some even with tongues lolling like a baying dog.

This commotion also attracted peripheral attention because the Wall of Power was both high and large enough, and the numbers displayed would not be obscured by the crowd, visible even from afar.

"He broke two thousand Yuan Force?"

"Is a Star King testing their strength?"

"Idiot, how could a Star King only have two thousand Yuan Force!"

"Then who is it, a Bright Immortal breaking two thousand Yuan Force is rare; to my knowledge, there are no more than ten individuals in the Bright Immortal Courtyard!"

"Damn, it's over two thousand one hundred Yuan Force now!"

"No more than seven individuals!"

"Two thousand two hundred!"

"No more than three individuals!"

"Two thousand three!"

"That leaves only one person, the freak Ximen Dong! That guy possesses not only ninety-one Divine Aspects but also a trace of Ancient Giant Ape bloodline, with terrifying Brutal Strength, only he could possibly reach two thousand three hundred Yuan Force!"

"You're wrong... look, two thousand four hundred!"

"Damn!"

Regardless of distance, when the numbers on the Wall of Power surpassed the threshold of two thousand four hundred, people poured in from every direction.

Although it hadn't yet exceeded the minimum "on the wall" requirement, it was truly not far from the number of two thousand four hundred sixty-six Yuan.

The previously disdainful gazes toward Zhou Heng around him were now filled with frenzy!

They had initially thought Zhou Heng was an oblivious rich kid, but reality proved this guy possessed supreme power!

Martial Artists revere the powerful; once Zhou Heng displayed strength worthy of second place in the freshmen assessment, everyone's perception shifted from disdain to awe, even fanaticism!

Moreover, if the second place is so formidable, how powerful must the first place be?

"Ahchoo!" In some corner of the academy, Qi Yuan sneezed, rubbing his nose, "Who's talking about me?" He looked bewildered, unaware that his image was momentarily elevated to infinite heights!

Hopefully, he won't fall from such a height... otherwise, from this height... (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets at Qidian.com. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
