Chapter 153 A Grandmaster
Master Wu let out a demonic laugh and the looks on Ma Sanyuan and the rest of the gang leaders changed immediately; they were terrified.
The sight of a person whose body could grow in size after consuming human blood had totally changed their outlook on life.
This person was a monster, an evil demon.
“Quick, shoot! Kill him!” shouted Ma Sanyuan as he ordered his men to start firing at Master Wu.
They had rules to abide by and they would be breaking the rules if they interfered with a battle in the ring abruptly. They would be despised by the entire underworld if they did so.
However, those rules were only applicable to humans and this person in front of them was a monster. If they did not kill him, God knows who the monster would kill at the very next second.
Bang, bang, bang!
Pesky Bear pulled his gun out swiftly and fired seven or eight shots continuously.
This was the era of firearms, even a formidable martial artist would not survive a gunshot wound.
Miraculously, it was as if those bullets had been fired at a steel board. There were just clanking sounds of metal as the bullets made contact with Master Wu’s body and sparks flew in all directions; the bullets had just ricocheted off his body.
Those bullets had only left a shallow scratch on his skin.
“H-He can stop bullets?” Pesky Bear was taken aback and everyone at the scene was astounded as well.
“A group of weaklings like you even dare to challenge my power?” Master Wu burst into laughter. Then, he picked the bullets up from the ground and flicked them away. The next second, there were holes in the foreheads of Ma Sanyan’s men and they died on the spot.
“Hahaha, awesome, Master Wu! Kill them, kill every single one of them!” Zhou Zhenghao had gone completely insane at this moment and was laughing fanatically.
On the other hand, Murong Cang who was standing at the side seemed like he had just seen a ghost and said in a trembling voice, “Grandmaster, h-he is an intermediate grandmaster!”
There were nine classes in the martial arts and every class represented an obstacle to overcome.
Once a martial artist reaches the third class, he would be known as an Observable Energy practitioner. His arms would weigh more than 200 pounds and he would have an immense strength. His power could be seen through his muscular build.
Martial artists in the fourth class to the sixth class were known as the Hidden Energy practitioners. Their body would start to generate Hidden Energy and they could generate great force with little effort, similar to Tai Chi [1]. By just dissipating a small amount of Inner Energy, they could generate a thousand pound force.
Finally, those in the seventh to the ninth class were known as the Neutralizing Energy practitioners, more often known as the grandmasters of the martial arts.
People in this stage were god-like as they had reached the peak of martial arts. Their Inner Energy could propagate miles away and they could use their Inner Energy to kill anyone within a hundred steps from them just by manipulating the flowers and leaves from trees. Thus, even a bullet would not harm a hair on their heads!
Master Wu’s skill was between the peak of the sixth class and the seventh class. He was better known as an intermediate grandmaster.
Although his Inner Energy could not propagate as far as a grandmaster’s and was not as terrifying as a grandmaster’s, which could be used to kill anyone within a hundred steps from him, his Inner Energy could still protect his body; a normal bullet would do him no harm at all.
The look on everyone’s face finally changed after hearing that. Master Wu was actually so terrifying.
“T-Then can Brother Chu beat him?” asked Yun Muyu in a shaky voice as she was starting to get worried.
“I’m afraid things do not bode well for him.” Murong Cang just let out a sigh. Even though Master Wu was only an intermediate grandmaster, he was still considered a grandmaster as well.
Until today, he had never heard of anyone who could beat a grandmaster before.
Ma Sanyuan and the rest of the people’s hearts had plummeted and they were at the edge of despair.
“Not bad, you guys have some knowledge and could recognize that I’m an intermediate grandmaster. It’s a pity that my supernormal power is not something you weaklings can disrupt just like that.” Master Wu cracked a smile that was filled with evil intent.
Just at this moment, Chu Feng’s eyes lit up after staring for a few seconds at Master Wu who was in front of him, then he finally came to his realization and snickered.
So I see! Master Wu was just a refugee who had managed to escape from the Holy Temple by luck.
Three years ago, Chu Feng had single-handedly killed the seven kings of the Holy Temple and had even killed the Demon King, Satan. However, some of the small fry were left behind and they managed to escape by luck. After that, they continued to wreak havoc in the world, just like the one in front of him.
“Not bad, kid. I’m giving you a chance now to join my school of martial arts. Be my disciple and I will forgive you.” Master Wu was smiling and had an arrogant look on his face. “Not only will you be able to keep your life, I will also pass on my super powers to you. You will be able to step into the grandmaster stage one day and you won’t need to worry about reaching a dead end. How does that sound?”
From his point of view, he had just bestowed Chu Feng with a great offer and no martial artist would be able to resist the temptation of being a grandmaster.
Becoming a grandmaster would be god-like and everyone would worship him.
“Be your disciple? You have quite some guts for a weakling.” Unexpectedly, Chu Feng just chuckled and disdainfully said, “You used twisted methods and crooked ways to become a ‘fake grandmaster’. Even if you were really a true grandmaster in the martial arts, I can still kill you with a punch.”
Master Wu became agitated as if his authority had just been challenged. He then shouted out, “Foolish kid, you’re asking for it!”
He swung his fist and it looked like it packed the force of a thunderbolt. The strength of the punch was ten times stronger than the hack from Chen Song’s axe. Nobody even dared to look straight at it.
His punch was packed with Inner Energy and he was confident that he could penetrate a tank with it, not to mention a human body like Chu Feng’s.
“Come!” Chu Feng squinted his eyes as he swung his fist as well.
