I Can Strengthen Everything

After staying at the Observatory for a day, Fang Xing bid farewell the next morning and left.

Stepping out of the Jiang Province Observatory, Fang Xing glanced back.

From this moment on, he had truly said goodbye to the Jiang Province Observatory.

After calming his emotions, Fang Xing strode away.

After selling his things and receiving over a hundred thousand gold, Fang Xing went to the Post Station. Mounting a Spiritual Steed, he headed out of the city.

Outside Jiang Province City.

After traveling for more than ten li, Fang Xing’s brow furrowed slightly. He mulled it over for a moment, then pulled on the reins, leaving the main road for a smaller path beside it.

He passed through a stretch of forest and arrived at a clearing by the roadside. Fang Xing stopped. The Spiritual Steed beneath him stood perfectly still, and even the surrounding air seemed to fall silent.

"You’ve followed me for quite a long way. You must be tired."

Fang Xing’s voice rang out, but the air remained deathly still, with no response.

Fang Xing’s expression was indifferent, his face as calm as still water. "It seems you want me to personally invite you out."

"SWOOSH—!"

The moment he finished speaking, a bolt of True Qi shot out, tearing through the air and vanishing into the woods.

"Heh heh, it seems you do have some skill. No wonder you made it onto the Hidden Dragon List." A sinister laugh echoed from the forest as a figure in white appeared like a phantom, ten zhang away.

Fang Xing’s gaze fell upon the white-robed young man, and his eyes narrowed.

’True Gang Realm!’

Feeling the aura emanating from the white-robed young man, Fang Xing’s heart sank.

’From True Qi to True Gang, this is a leap in the very level of one’s existence.’

’True Qi sublimes, transforming into Innate Celestial Gang Qi.’

’Pseudo-Immortal Cultivation, Refining Qi into Gang!’

’These are two different stages, a transformation in the Martial Dao!’

’Even someone at True Qi Perfection wouldn’t last a single move against a True Gang expert.’

’Innate Celestial Gang Qi can completely crush True Qi.’

’The two aren’t even in the same league.’

An invisible pressure descended, forcefully suppressing the surrounding air.

It felt as if ten thousand catties were pressing down on his shoulders.

Their eyes met, and time seemed to freeze in that instant.

Fang Xing suppressed the turmoil within him, his gaze calm. "And who might you be?"

"Supreme Profound Upper Sect, Xu Ye!"

The white-robed young man made no attempt to hide his identity, stating it outright.

"The Supreme Profound... someone from a Martial Dao Upper Sect."

"I’ve finally run into them."

Fang Xing looked at this Xu Ye. He wasn’t surprised that someone from a Martial Dao Upper Sect had come for him; in fact, he had long anticipated it.

"May I ask why you were following me?" Fang Xing asked, feigning ignorance as the True Qi within him stirred restlessly.

Xu Ye looked at him and grinned. "I came here for one reason: to ask for a lesson or two."

"Using your True Gang Cultivation against me? Are all of you from the Martial Dao Upper Sects this shameless?" Fang Xing’s gaze was level as he looked at Xu Ye.

Hearing this, Xu Ye looked completely unconcerned. "Since you’re on the Hidden Dragon List, you’re surely no pushover. Don’t worry, it’s just a friendly Martial Arts exchange."

The moment his voice fell, an extremely cold aura erupted.

The air itself seemed about to freeze solid!

A Cold Ice Palm Seal condensed in the Void, carrying a chill that could freeze everything. The palm had not yet arrived, but the frigid air preceded it.

’Fucking hell, you really are all shameless bastards...’ Fang Xing’s face darkened, and his figure suddenly vanished.

"WHOOSH—!!!"

The instant he disappeared, the Spiritual Steed beneath him was frozen in a flash, turning into an ice sculpture.

"BOOM—!!!"

The Cold Force struck, Gang Qi overflowing. The superior-grade Spiritual Steed instantly exploded, its frozen flesh and blood scattering in chunks. Even its blood was frozen solid.

"Hm?"

A flicker of surprise showed on Xu Ye’s face when his strike missed.

"VMMMM!!!"

In that same instant, a red Flame Fist Seal swept toward him.

Its scorching heat instantly melted the biting chill.

It was incredibly fast!

A glint flashed in Xu Ye’s eyes. Blue light gathered in his palm, and with an explosion of extreme cold, he raised his hand to meet the attack.

"BOOM—!"

The searing Flame Fist Seal collided with the Cold Ice Power, and a massive explosion swept through the area.

Half the area was filled with high temperatures, scorched by raging flames.

The other half, however, was frozen over by the cold, two completely different phenomena appearing in the same place.

Fang Xing’s figure was thrown back.

He stared at Xu Ye with a grim expression. Even after unleashing all his bodily strength and the Extreme Red Flame Power, he could feel an immense pressure from that single exchange.

The power of Innate Celestial Gang Qi was completely overwhelming. If not for his abundant True Qi and sufficiently tough Flesh Body, that one clash would have been enough to severely injure him.

’Such powerful strength!’

Xu Ye’s face also turned grim.

In that brief exchange just now, he’d even felt as if his Protective Gang Qi was about to be pierced through.

And those bizarre True Qi Flames seemed to completely surpass ordinary Fire Attribute Martial Arts.

He felt as if even his Innate Celestial Gang Qi was being melted.

Just coming into contact with a little of it, that strange Flame True Qi made him feel a sense of danger.

A mere True Qi Realm cultivator had actually pushed him this far!

It was simply unheard of!

"You truly live up to your reputation. In that case, please test my Cold Ice Force again."

Xu Ye’s figure moved. The Innate Celestial Gang Qi around his body erupted, and in an instant, the entire area was enveloped by it.

The Void turned to ice!

An even more terrifying Cold Ice Palm Seal struck!

Before, it was just a probe. This time, Xu Ye was getting serious!

His Cold Ice Divine Palm, powered by his Innate Celestial Gang Qi, was pushed to its absolute limit.

Freezing heaven and earth!

A bone-chilling cold swept out, and everything in the path of the Palm Seal was frozen solid.

An area of one li in radius was completely covered by the frigid air.

"VMMMM!!!"

In that instant, Fang Xing suddenly erupted with the Red Flame True Qi in his body.

The Extreme Red Flame swept over his entire body, forming a massive Flame Divine Palm that rose to meet the attack.
