As Hong Jiunan's name was changed to Su Tu.
Su Tu instantly sensed something, as if countless images and voices of sages from the human race appeared in his ears.
They stood on the distant Other Shore watching Su Tu, their gazes filled with relief mixed with appreciation.
It seemed as if a grand vow, a great blessing, was magnified within.
This was an indescribable power that was instilled the moment Su Tu's name emerged.
From the Other Shore, shadowy figures seemed to be speaking to Su Tu.
But Su Tu seemed too far, unable to hear clearly or distinctly.
Yet he could feel a vision stemming from the same lineage, the bond of his own race...
Soon, everything vanished, and the shadowy figures in the depths of the Other Shore disappeared.
Su Tu only felt countless insights rise within him, a feeling beyond words, as if he suddenly comprehended, suddenly opened his acupoints.
Previously blurred aspects of his bone appearance gradually became clear, and his understanding of his fist principles deepened.
Su Tu realized this was the blessing of the Martial Arts Vision.
It felt as if the ancient sages of the human race in the shadows were guiding him, leading him, a truly magical sensation.
Su Tu couldn't help but sigh in awe.
"Exaggerated!! So exaggerated, I thought the wave would first be caused by that kid from the Chen Family, but this one is even more heavyweight!"
"Never heard of any Holy Land Dao Lineage or an unparalleled imperial family producing such a prodigy!"
"A monster, simply a monster, with this kind of strength, a minimum of the top fifty on the Celestial Pride List, no! At least the top thirty!"
The young man who previously explained to Su Tu stared at Su Tu's back, feeling a shock in his heart.
His thoughts scattered like flowing light.
Such a prodigy contending for the Celestial Pride List deserves an audience!!
Su Tu noticed the person leaving, but he didn't mind; he stood slightly, integrating various insights.
He developed new insights into several Techniques he mastered.
Especially the Prajna Seven Kills, the first technique he mastered, the one he was most adept at and used the most in combat.
Now, his understanding of this technique had evolved.
"Prajna Seven Kills emphasizes seven paths to create a shock, but there is always one returning path, sevenfold killing power is the start, but not the end!"
"Seven kills unite into one, one extinguishes many!"
Such thoughts arose in Su Tu's heart.
The opportunity to evolve Prajna Seven Kills to Great Success might lie here!!
The more Su Tu thought about it, the more it seemed possible, and now was an ideal time to verify his ideas.
Continue the challenge!
The moment this thought arose in his heart, the surrounding scene shattered like a mirror, and the forest around him collapsed, replaced by a magnificent palace.
Upon entering, all information about the Celestial Pride List challenge methods imprinted in Su Tu's mind.
The Celestial Pride List was an existence created beyond the Other Shore to allow human prodigies to confront and battle.
Every time someone was challenged, a sense of unease would arise, signaling someone challenging them.
Of course, if the opponent was in combat, closed-door training, realm-breaking, etc., the list wouldn't trigger unease as such moments could lead to a prodigy falling or being seriously injured.
If the opponent couldn't fight, the challenger could wait for two days, after which, if the opponent still couldn't fight, the challenger would bypass the rank holder to challenge a stronger one.
If the challenger defeated the stronger one, the rank of the earlier incapacitated holder would decline accordingly.
Additionally, the same challenger, upon being defeated, must wait seven days before the next challenge, and the challenged one has three chances to refuse; refusing more than three times results in an automatic forfeit, replacing the rank.
With the change in the surroundings.
A figure soon appeared on the scene.
"Oh ho! Did you get that iron turtle Hong Jiunan off?"
"Good good!! Awesome, that fool has no skill, just buff, every time it took me so long to break his protection."
Seeing the newcomer was an unfamiliar face, the person was delighted.
Ranked 99 on the Celestial Pride List, he was challenged by Hong Jiunan nearly every week, though he won each time, Hong Jiunan's Protective Technique was simply too tough, giving him endless headaches.
He had no idea that the so-called fortress-like Hong Jiunan had been obliterated with a single punch by Su Tu, half his body disintegrated instantly.
"Malak!"
He bowed to Su Tu, indicating that the one who could defeat Hong Jiunan had undoubtedly formidable skill, deserving of respect.
Su Tu always reciprocated respect with respect and enmity with vengeance.
Hong Jiunan's rude outburst earlier warranted no words from him, a punch resolved it all.
But since Malak greeted him courteously, Su Tu responded in kind!
Su Tu clasped his hands in return: "Su Tu."
With their words exchanged, they had no further dialogue, seeming to understand each other.
Swish!!!
In an instant, both of them vanished from their spots.
Boom!!
A deep sound echoed in midair as they clashed upon each other in a blink of an eye.
In a flash, they had already exchanged several moves.
"What brilliant Technique!"
Only after a few punches from Su Tu, Malak could sense the incredibly high proficiency of his Techniques, every move exuding indescribable Spirituality.
But one thing puzzled him, and that was Su Tu's lack of strong attack power.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this. Considering Su Tu's current destructive power, no matter how strong or spiritual the technique, it shouldn't break Hong Jiunan's iron body.
Unexpectedly, Su Tu was actively suppressing his power at this moment, releasing his strength to the extreme, even only displaying the power he had before entering the Martial Arts Dao.
The Malak in front of him was also a martial artist who had refined techniques. Such a martial artist was perfect for honing the Prajna Seven Kills and integrating his recent insights!
But for Su Tu, the opponent's physique was too frail; if he didn't suppress his power to the lowest, he might inadvertently crush him directly.
Both were currently engaging in technique-based combat, with the offensive speed growing faster and faster.
As the battle continued, Malak felt increasingly alarmed, for no other reason than that Su Tu's progress was simply too fast in front of him!
Initially, he was barely able to exchange attacks with Su Tu, but now all his offensive moves were seen through and intercepted before he even made them.
Only able to defend, without the ability to strike back!
At this moment, figures around the palace were watching the on-going duel.
"Is this the prodigy you mentioned to us?"
"Are you kidding? Didn't you say he defeated Hong Jiunan in one punch? Then why is he fighting so intensely with Malak?"
"Yeah?? Niu Ben, are you joking with us for fun?"
"Yeah! Even Yang is here for the excitement, and you called us to see this?"
They were all companions called by the young man earlier.
"Why would I fool you? It's true! I just saw him shatter half of Hong Jiunan's body with a single punch!"
Niu Ben was the young man who previously explained to Su Tu that the Celestial Pride List allows spectators; he was somewhat anxious at this moment.
"Niu Ben wasn't lying; that person is using Malak to confirm his insights."
Suddenly, a tall young man spoke up, looking at Su Tu in the arena, his eyes burning bright like sunshine. He stood there as the absolute center, with other prodigies seemingly only as his backdrop.
"Right!! I told you, this guy definitely has skills!"
"Yang sees things clearly!" Niu Ben quickly chimed in.
There remains a gap even among prodigies, and this person referred to as Yang held an extremely high status, leading other prodigy martial artists to cease speaking and earnestly observe the duel on the field.
But unfortunately, the enormous difference prevented them from seeing how Su Tu was holding back.
Only the person referred to as Yang looked at Su Tu in the field with admiration on his face.
"He's not even using extraordinary power, fighting against a prodigy; this technique is miraculous!"
At this time, Su Tu's heart affirmed his earlier thoughts almost entirely.
The Prajna Seven Kills he enacted now was completely different from before.
Previously, Prajna Seven Kills piled sevenfold killing power in one place, erupting simultaneously.
Now, the Prajna Seven Kills in Su Tu's hand integrated the sevenfold killing power into one; with one strike, sevenfold killing tribulations were within.
"Prajna Seven Kills - Celestial Defect!!"
Su Tu merged all his insights comprehensively into them.
Instantly, terrifying fist light surged forth from his hand, one killing power, sevenfold killing tribulations!!
Suddenly, Malak felt incredibly frightened.
He wanted to deploy techniques to defend, but.....
Bang!!!!
That punch had unknowingly landed on his heart, and in the next instant, killing tribulations unfolded.
Malak stood stunned, his organs shattered in an instant by the illuminating fist, annihilated!
He forced a smile at Su Tu, his face full of disbelief.
"Great Success Technique!!!"
"Awesome..."
Achieving great mastery in technique is immensely difficult; countless martial artists spend their lives just advancing their techniques to Observing the Micro, unable to progress further.
The ability to advance any technique to great success qualifies a martial artist to become a Grandmaster.
Currently, the youngest Grandmaster documented in the entire Federation is 36 years old, dubbed a millennium genius in techniques.
And now, a under-twenty-year-old Grandmaster appears right in front of his eyes.
Being defeated by a Grandmaster is not shameful at all!!
After saying this, Malak's form instantly shattered, disappearing as flowing light.
The crowd, hearing Malak's words, were all shocked one by one.
"Grandmaster!! Is it true?"
"Is the prodigy list's Grandmaster under twenty-years-old?"
"My goodness!! How many monsters are going to emerge from this generation of the Federation!! Is this truly an era of great competition!!"
"Thinking about soon experiencing the Great Mastery of Technique, I'm a bit excited!" said one from the Celestial Pride List ranked 98, who was next in line if Su Tu continued fighting.
Great Mastery of Technique is not something everyone has the chance to see or experience; those who master Great Success Techniques are undoubtedly titans or rulers of domains.
Though prodigies, without demonstrating innate talent, they are not qualified to glimpse the Great Success Techniques held by such great figures.
Now, being able to personally battle against a Grandmaster and even learn from Great Success Techniques, how could this group of prodigies not be thrilled?
The chance to experience such level techniques personally means tremendous gains even in defeat!
If they manage to win, it would be a lifelong boast-worthy event!
However, the martial artist referred to as Yang, upon speaking, instantly caused the previously excited warriors to deflate like withered eggplants.
"Don't think about it; the reason Malak held on so long was entirely because Su Tu was verifying his thoughts, and now he has advanced the technique to great success."
"After that, it will be full-force fighting, ordinary prodigies may struggle to survive a single punch..."
Yang concluded decisively.
