Hao Tianquan saw Yu Daohen's kick and blocked it with his arm.
Bang!
The kick landed squarely on his arm. Hao Tianquan stumbled back two steps, inwardly surprised.
What a heavy kick, and his arm was still throbbing.
This kid had something tied to his feet too.
Yu Daohen was also a bit surprised.
He hadn't expected his strength to increase so much, and without even removing the iron plates.
Hao Tianquan moved his body, a smile on his face, "I didn't expect Master Yu to have improved so much. I'll have to get serious too."
Hearing Hao Tianquan say this, Yu Daohen also intended to have a good fight.
He had wanted to know the gap between himself and the Black List experts.
Today was the perfect opportunity.
Yu Daohen rolled up his pant legs, revealing the six iron plates, and then slowly unfastened them.
Watching Yu Daohen remove the iron plates, Hao Tianquan frowned.
These iron plates didn't look thick, but they were definitely not as simple as they appeared.
Yu Daohen removed the iron plates from his feet, then from his hands.
A total of ten iron plates were removed.
Hao Tianquan asked curiously, "How much do these iron plates weigh?"
Seeing the sudden question, Yu Daohen's lips curved upwards as he started to be a bit boastful, "Not much, just about two hundred kilograms per plate."
"Two hundred kilograms!?" Hao Tianquan was slightly astonished.
Two hundred kilograms per plate, ten plates combined would be a full two thousand kilograms!
Two thousand kilograms, and Master Yu had been carrying it for half a year!
This kind of overloaded training was not something ordinary people could endure, at least he didn't train that way.
With a weight of two thousand kilograms, how could Master Yu endure it?
This guy was truly a freak!
He also knew about training strength using such methods.
After removing all the iron plates, Yu Daohen stretched his muscles and felt a slight shock.
Was this really his body?
It felt as if he possessed infinite strength.
Looking at Hao Tianquan opposite him, Yu Daohen set the rules, "Let's agree first, we'll only spar with fist and foot techniques, no spells allowed."
Hao Tianquan nodded in agreement, "Alright, we'll spar with fist and foot techniques."
He also wanted to know just how strong Yu Daohen's power was now.
Seeing Hao Tianquan agree, Yu Daohen's lips curved upwards. He stomped on the ground and charged forward, clenching his fist and throwing a punch.
Seeing the incoming punch, Hao Tianquan's lips curved upwards. He raised his fist and met the attack.
He had reached the third position on the Black List with his fists, and seeing someone challenge him to a fistfight, he certainly wouldn't back down.
Bang!
As their fists collided, a burst of energy erupted. Zhou Fu raised his hand to shield his eyes.
Neither of them moved an inch. Yu Daohen, seeing that he was under no pressure, smiled and teased, "Master Hao, don't hold back against a junior."
Hao Tianquan was slightly surprised.
His punch carried considerable force, yet Master Yu had managed to block it and remained unmoved.
However... it was still a little bit short.
"Fine, then I'll get serious." Hao Tianquan smiled excitedly.
He had been staying at the Yan Huo Sect for the past six months and hadn't stretched his muscles in a long time.
Hao Tianquan suddenly exerted force, pushing Yu Daohen away, and instantly kicked out.
Seeing this, Yu Daohen could have retreated to dodge, but instead, he kicked out to meet the attack.
Their legs met. Neither of them moved, but Yu Daohen's expression turned a little grim.
As expected of Hao Tianquan, renowned for his brute strength.
His calf was still aching.
But if it was only to this extent, he could completely match him.
"He actually blocked it!"
Hao Tianquan was slightly surprised, but then he threw another punch.
Yu Daohen was not afraid at all. He met each move, and whenever he had an opening, he would counter-punch.
For a time, the two fought fiercely, neither gaining an advantage.
Zhou Fu, watching from the side, was extremely shocked that his master could fight so evenly with Hao Tianquan.
In half a year, his master had improved so much!
Zhou Fu's admiration for Yu Daohen grew even more.
Master is amazing.
Master is awesome.
Master is 66666.
Just as the two were fully engaged in their fight, three elders also walked over.
Elder Hu Ting, looking at Yu Daohen sparring with Hao Tianquan, frowned, "Why does the Sect Master have ghost energy on him?"
Before he entered, he had already sensed a strong ghost energy.
He had initially thought some ghost or monster had entered the Yan Huo Sect, but it turned out to be emanating from the Sect Master.
The Second Elder, Wu Shanping, also looked puzzled.
Only the Honorary Elder, Xu Gensheng, perhaps knew something, remained silent.
Seeing the three elders approach, Zhou Fu walked over and respectfully greeted them.
Hu Ting nodded and inquired about the ghost energy on the Sect Master.
Zhou Fu recounted everything he had heard.
Upon hearing this, the three exchanged glances.
They had never heard of a ghost immortal condensing into a bead after death.
Meanwhile.
The sparring between the two had reached a stalemate, and Yu Daohen's attack speed began to slow down.
Hao Tianquan seized the opening and struck towards Yu Daohen's throat with a hand knife.
Yu Daohen had no time to react, and the hand knife was already at his throat.
Yu Daohen looked down at Hao Tianquan's attacking hand knife, let out a long sigh, and smiled, "Master Hao has good skills. This junior is truly inferior."
Hao Tianquan withdrew his hand knife and waved his hand, also expressing surprise, "I didn't expect Master Yu to have improved so much in half a year."
He had to admit that it would take some effort to defeat Yu Daohen with just fist and foot techniques alone.
With Yu Daohen's current strength, relying solely on martial arts, perhaps no one except those few on the Black List would be his match.
But if he were to use spells, he was confident he could defeat him within ten rounds.
It was a pity that they had all passed the age of cultivation. Even Ding Han, who had recently joined the Black List, was already forty years old.
Although there was still plenty of room for improvement at this age, it was not as much as for these young people.
And Yu Daohen was still young, with plenty of time ahead of him.
Seeing that the two had finished their spar, the elders walked forward.
The three elders approached the two and respectfully called out.
"Sect Master."
"Master Hao."
Hao Tianquan nodded. Seeing that the three seemed to have something to discuss, he looked at Yu Daohen and said, "Master Yu, you've just returned, and you must have matters to attend to. We'll talk about Xiao Fu's situation tonight."
Yu Daohen nodded, and Hao Tianquan returned to his room.
Zhou Fu also wisely excused himself.
Hu Ting looked at Yu Daohen and said, "Sect Master, let's discuss this in the main hall."
Yu Daohen nodded, and they all went to the main hall.
Hu Ting reported the major and minor events that had occurred in the sect over the past six months and the matters that required the Sect Master's decision.
In reality, there were no major issues. The only significant matter was that the Divine Religion might take action soon, and it was hoped that all sects would increase their vigilance.
By the time Yu Daohen had given all his instructions, it was already six-thirty in the evening.
