The Protagonists' Chat Group: Beyond the Boundaries

"Martial King is an old expert in the Formation Arrangement Realm, and he even contended with Stone Emperor back then!"

"You want to challenge him?" The Dean of Zhulu Academy frowned, asking Shi Jian in disbelief.

"Isn't Wu Wang's Mansion going to hold Zhulu Academy accountable? Do they want Zhulu Academy to give them an explanation? This is the explanation I'm giving…" Shi Jian replied calmly.

"I know you have unparalleled Battle Intent and can fight against higher Realms, but that Martial King is an old expert of the Formation Arrangement Realm after all. If you were in the Virtual God Realm, I'd believe you could slay him…"

"But in reality… is it a bit inconsiderate?" The Dean of Zhulu Academy earnestly advised him. He felt Shi Jian was somewhat arrogant. To dare challenge a Formation Arrangement Realm expert while only in the Spiritual Realm. If it were an ordinary Formation Arrangement Realm expert, then it would be fine. But who is Martial King? He is an expert among Formation Arrangement Realm cultivators. The Formation Arrangement Realm also has its distinctions. One can be crowned King in the Formation Arrangement Realm, and Martial King was crowned with "Martial." His strength can be seen from his title. Martial King's power is known throughout the Stone Country; he is unstoppable and stirred up immense storms in his youth. He is even inferior to Martial King.

"I know what I'm doing…" Shi Jian replied calmly. His strength had already reached an extremely terrifying level. With this level of strength, he was already unrivaled among the younger generation. Only experts of the King Realm, or even Venerables, could pique his interest. Having cheated to this extent, Shi Jian not only wanted to suppress his peers but also all enemies!

After his strength improved, Shi Jian's mindset also underwent some changes. Before, he only thought about letting Huang Tian Di grow up quickly and then relying on Huang Tian Di. Just lying flat. But now… Shi Jian wanted to try suppressing all ages himself. No need to awaken the High Ancestor, he would surpass the High Ancestor.

Looking at the calm Shi Jian, the Dean of Zhulu Academy couldn't help but feel a slight tremor. He inexplicably felt that Shi Jian's Aura had become much sharper.

"If you have confidence, then I will naturally support you, but I want to see what level your strength has reached first!" The Dean of Zhulu Academy no longer obstructed him but looked at Shi Jian with burning eyes. A hint of Battle Intent flashed in his eyes. Clearly, he wanted to personally test Shi Jian's true capabilities.

"Then, shall we spar?" Shi Jian looked at the Dean of Zhulu Academy and revealed a harmless smile.

In the next instant, both figures shifted, appearing simultaneously in the Zhulu Academy's training ground! Both stood in the Void Realm, and a sharp Aura spread around them.

"What's going on? Why are the Dean and Ba Ba confronting each other?"

"Could it be that Ba Ba is challenging the Dean?"

"Such terrifying Aura…"

"Has Ba Ba's strength grown to the point where he can contend with a Formation Arrangement Realm expert?"

Countless people from Zhulu Academy were astonished upon witnessing this scene. Numerous teachers and Disciples flocked to watch the battle. The news of Shi Jian challenging the Formation Arrangement Realm Dean instantly spread throughout Zhulu Academy.

The two stood in the Void Realm, completely unconcerned about the onlookers around them.

"Today, I'll teach you how to use this lightning rune…" The Dean of Zhulu Academy made the first move. He activated the runes within his Physical Body, and these runes instantly transformed into lightning, tearing through the Void Realm and striking directly at Shi Jian. At the same time, dark clouds rolled across the entire Void Realm, and heavy rain poured down, manifesting a heaven and earth phenomenon. The lightning formed from runes mixed with the heavy rain, ferociously pouring down on Shi Jian. The lightning contained terrifying power. Even a single drop of this heavy rain seemed to weigh a thousand jun. Anyone with slightly weaker Cultivation would be crushed to death if even a drop of rain touched them. Rain and lightning raged; such power would require even a Formation Arrangement Realm King to be on high alert. No wonder the Dean said he had earned the title "Lightning Dao King."

If Shi Jian from a few months ago had encountered such a lineup, he would have found it somewhat troublesome. But now, such methods were not even an appetizer for Shi Jian. He slightly extended his palm, and terrifying Divine Light was brewing within it.

"To test my strength, Dean, you'll have to bring out some real stuff!" Shi Jian's voice was remarkably clear amidst the thunder and rain.

In the next instant, Shi Jian's large hand tore and annihilated all those rune Divine Abilities! Shi Jian forcibly broke the Dean of Zhulu Academy's runes. The gloomy rain disappeared, and the world returned to normal.

The Dean of Zhulu Academy was startled by this scene. Although he only used ordinary runes, they were driven by his Cultivation in the Formation Arrangement Realm! Shi Jian broke through so easily, which he hadn't expected. He originally thought Shi Jian would at least have to use some Precious Techniques. But Shi Jian only used ordinary runes as well.

"Hahaha, good!" The Dean of Zhulu Academy let out a loud laugh, then his entire Physical Body was enveloped by a Divine Ring, dazzling and emanating a terrifying Aura. Confirming that Shi Jian possessed Formation Arrangement Realm strength, he no longer had any reservations. He would go all out!

"I never thought I'd live to see the Dean make a move!" The teachers and scholars of Zhulu Academy shouted excitedly. The Dean of Zhulu Academy is also one of the few top experts in this world. His strength is profound and terrifying. Countless Divine Radiance shone, as if a great sun had descended, thunder rumbled in the sky, and the entire Academy trembled. The fully unleashed Dean of Zhulu Academy was like a god, captivating and suffocating those present.

"Today, I will show you what true Formation Arrangement Realm is…" The Dean of Zhulu Academy spoke calmly, his flat tone conveying an immense majesty. In an instant, he struck out with a palm, and a sea-like torrent of runes submerged the area in front of him. The entire world rioted, and lightning raged across the entire space.

"Thump, thump!" Countless people, feeling this terrifying pressure, collapsed to the ground, their Physical Bodies trembling!

Shi Jian swept his arm forward, similarly manifesting endless runes. In the Void Realm, dense runes collided with brilliant light, exploding on the spot! The scorching runes annihilated each other after colliding in the Void Realm. They did not spread far to harm others.

"Good kid…" The Dean of Zhulu Academy's eyes lit up after seeing this. Clearly, both of them had reached a masterful level in their control over runes. Otherwise, if that wave of energy had exploded just now, even a mountain peak would have been destroyed. How old is Shi Jian? His understanding of runes actually caught up to his own.

The Dean of Zhulu Academy flicked his robe, and the lightning in the sky intertwined to form a purple lightning Dragon. This Dragon Qi was majestic, vast as a mountain, and terrifying! Clearly, this was a manifestation of a lightning Precious Technique. The lightning Dragon formed by runes was lifelike, filling the sky. Its eyes, when opening and closing, seemed to possess life.

Shi Jian faced this lightning Dragon without fear, taking a step forward, forming his fingers into a claw, and within his palm, a sea of runes existed. He went straight for the lightning Dragon.

"Overconfident…" The Dean of Zhulu Academy uttered softly upon seeing this. How powerful was his lightning Dragon Precious Technique? Not only did Shi Jian not counter with a Precious Technique, but he actually wanted to capture the Dragon with his bare hands? What kind of Physical Body do you think you have? The Dean of Zhulu Academy decided to teach Shi Jian a lesson, to let him know the terror of a Formation Arrangement Realm expert. The lightning Dragon roared, and streaks of lightning flashed in its eyes, illuminating the sky!

"Crack…" With a crisp sound, Shi Jian's claw struck directly onto the lightning Dragon's Physical Body. The rampant lightning on the lightning Dragon's Physical Body struck Shi Jian but failed to cause him any harm. Shi Jian exerted force with his fingers, and the lightning Dragon was forcibly crushed by him! His slender Physical Body floated in the Void Realm, yet his Aura was strong and violent.

"How is this possible…" The Dean of Zhulu Academy was filled with disbelief. Shi Jian shattered his lightning Dragon with a single grab. What kind of joke was this? What kind of terrifying Physical Body was this?

The Dean of Zhulu Academy looked at Shi Jian, and what answered him was Shi Jian's palm. Shi Jian struck out with a palm, and runes bloomed, like surging waves crashing against the shore, vast and mighty, enveloping the entire world!

"Good!" The Dean of Zhulu Academy roared, his voice like Nine Heavens thunder. Countless electric lights flickered around him, and these lightning bolts gathered into a fist, striking towards Shi Jian. Within that single punch, it seemed as if the sun, moon, and stars revolved, lightning rumbled, and heaven and earth raged!

"World in the Palm" This is a great Divine Ability, which only top experts can cast. Although the Dean of Zhulu Academy used a fist, the principle was the same.

"In the Formation Arrangement Realm, runes can form arrays; this is the true profoundness of the Formation Arrangement Realm!" The Dean of Zhulu Academy spoke, his punch enveloping the entire world, his Aura grand and boundless.

Shi Jian soared into the sky, striking at a shadow above. With a hum, the world trembled, and Shi Jian directly shattered all the fist wind. The two confronted each other again.

The Dean of Zhulu Academy's shock at this moment could no longer be sustained. Shi Jian's strength was too terrifying. Just by using some basic runes and Physical Body strength, he could pierce through his Precious Technique. Every casual strike was incredibly fierce, like the creation of Heaven and Earth.

"I am not as good as you…" The Dean of Zhulu Academy spoke wistfully. Shi Jian's strength was too terrifying; to have such strength at this age… Perhaps even the Upper Realm doesn't have such a Prodigy. The emergence of such a Genius, it's hard to say whether it's good or bad! He still had some techniques he hadn't used; he hadn't even taken out his weapons. However, Shi Jian had pierced through his Precious Technique without using a Precious Technique, so it was clear who was stronger. The Dean of Zhulu Academy didn't believe that a Genius like Shi Jian hadn't mastered Precious Techniques. Although Shi Jian was now a Disciple of Zhulu Academy, his true origin was unknown to anyone! For such a Genius, even if he possessed a Ten Fiends Precious Technique, the Dean of Zhulu Academy would consider it normal. With such terrifying strength, if he were to use that Ten Fiends Precious Technique… He himself would be instantly killed.

"Venerable-level Battle Intent…" The Dean of Zhulu Academy took several deep breaths before suppressing this thought. Spiritual Realm Cultivation, Venerable-level Battle Intent… Terrifying to this extent!!!

He only sparred with Shi Jian to gauge his true capabilities. Now that he had probed some of Shi Jian's abilities, there was naturally no need to continue fighting. Getting into a real fight would not be good… Being defeated by Shi Jian would be even worse…

"The Dean actually said he's not as good as Ba Ba!" The people of Zhulu Academy were completely stunned after hearing the Dean's words. The Dean, he's an old Formation Arrangement Realm expert!!!
