Zhou Kan's heart was filled with immense fear; that strike just now nearly shattered his head.

But after the terror, his heart was more filled with anger, how could he be seriously injured by that mere Chu Nan? If this news got out, how could he survive?

"High-grade Yellow Rank Martial Skill, Meteor Halberd!" Zhou Kan lashed out in fury, eyes wild, using his strongest strike.

Zhou Kan swung his arm, the halberd shot out towards Chu Nan like a meteor; this strike carried earth-shattering power, splitting the ground wherever it passed, shattering countless puppets.

The terrifying aura left all who witnessed it pale with fear.

"Heaven-Shocking Thunder Spear!"

Chu Nan let out a thunderous shout, and casually plunged the Red Peak Sword into the ground, gathering thunderbolt power in his hand.

At the moment the halberd was about to strike, the thunderbolt transformed into a long spear, slicing through as if it were a divine punishment.

Under the influence of the Thunder Spear, numerous puppets exploded.

The Heaven-Shocking Thunder Spear, a gifted Martial Skill obtained by Chu Nan through the Ancestral Bloodline, cannot be classified in grade, and can only be performed during the Desolate Profound Transformation.

In a flash, the Thunder Spear and the Halberd collided.

Roars and explosions echoed continuously, violent spiritual power erupted in magnificent rippling waves, directly overturning Wan Qiang and a group of True Disciples engaged in a distant battle.

Thick smoke and thunder enveloped Chu Nan and Zhou Kan, while Wan Qiang frowned deeply, completely unaware of what had happened.

"What's going on, has Chu Nan died inside?"

Everyone stopped fighting, turning their gaze toward the direction of the battle between Chu Nan and Zhou Kan, while Wan Qiang's face showed a worried expression.

Although they hadn't known each other long, he sincerely didn't wish for anything to happen to Chu Nan.

"Look closely, someone is coming out!"

As the thunder and smoke gradually dispersed, a tall, blurry figure slowly became clear, though its specific appearance was still indistinct.

Wan Qiang's heart leaped into his throat; the figure seemed to be carrying a Great Halberd, and it was obvious who held the Spiritual Martial Halberd, causing him regret.

"Chu Nan, with the aid of the Thousand-Year Blood Ginseng, at most can improve to Spirit Pill Realm Eight Stages; while Zhou Kan has already reached the peak of Spirit Pill Realm Nine Stages. How could I let him face Zhou Kan alone!" Wan Qiang's heart was filled with remorse; he wished he had escaped with Chu Nan!

After all, Chu Nan possessed the most accurate Haotian Tower map, evading these people would only be a matter of time.

"Chu Nan, I shouldn't have let you face Zhou Kan alone, I was truly foolish!" Wan Qiang knelt, beating his chest in frustration, shouting continuously.

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly spoke: "Wan Qiang, why are you kneeling?"

"Huh?" Wan Qiang raised his head in surprise, his eyes immediately filled with joy.

There stood Chu Nan, holding a sword in one hand and a halberd in the other, with Zhou Kan's head impaled upon the halberd; though he appeared somewhat disheveled, his condition was excellent, without any obvious injuries!

"Chu Nan, I saw someone with the halberd, I thought you were dead!" Wan Qiang promptly stood, exclaiming in delight.

Chu Nan calmly replied, "Zhou Kan's cultivation can't kill me."

The Heaven-Shocking Thunder Spear's grade cannot be defined, but it absolutely surpasses high-grade Yellow Rank Martial Skills!

Enhanced by the Desolate Profound Transformation, the Thunder Spear's power was overwhelming; Zhou Kan's Meteor Halberd, despite being a high-grade Yellow Rank Skill, was only cultivated to Minor Achievement—how could it block the Thunder Spear?

In just one face-off, the halberd was blown away, Zhou Kan pierced through by the Thunder Spear, chilled to the core.

Then Chu Nan casually swung the halberd, Zhou Kan's head was sent flying, he declared, "Zhou Kan is dead. If anyone still wants to seize the Martial Skills, I, Chu Nan, welcome it!"

With a thud, the head fell to the ground, rolling to the feet of the True Disciples, Zhou Kan's eyes staring into death, terrifying all who saw it.

They almost simultaneously stepped back, gazing at Chu Nan with trepidation.

If Chu Nan could kill a Spirit Pill Realm Nine Stages, then he could kill them too, moreover, Wan Qiang was at the late stage of Spirit Pill Realm Nine, without Zhou Kan, there's no hope of seizing anything.

Having no great enmity with Chu Nan, they wisely said, "It was just a misunderstanding, we bid farewell."

"Farewell, Chu Nan junior brother, we'll see each other outside the Haotian Tower."

With that, the group of True Disciples rushed to leave, leaving the giant pit with only Chu Nan and Wan Qiang remaining.

Plus, after the recent battle and prior hunt, only dozens of scattered puppets remained of the thousands initially there.

Chu Nan then said, "Everything here now belongs to us!"

Wan Qiang's eyes sparkled with excitement as he joined Chu Nan to collect items in the pit.

Half an hour later, they found dozens of Martial Skills and Cultivation Techniques on the bodies of these puppets, although most didn't reach the Yellow Rank, together they could be exchanged for considerable contribution points at the Sect.

Wan Qiang even found a mid-grade Yellow Rank Martial Skill, significantly boosting his strength.

Chu Nan was somewhat surprised when, upon gaining the mid-grade Yellow Rank Martial Skill, Wan Qiang decided not to continue exploring.

"I forcefully broke through using Blood Ginseng, my control over cultivation is too poor; even if I ascend higher, I'll likely encounter life-threatening danger."

"This mid-grade Yellow Rank Martial Skill's power is sufficient; I plan to remain on this level to cultivate, leave the Haotian Tower when time's up."

Wan Qiang isn't one to rashly take risks, having gained a suitable Martial Skill and improved his cultivation, he's satisfied and lost the desire to explore further, choosing now to part ways with Chu Nan.

"In that case, you might as well return to the lower level, it's relatively safer."

Chu Nan didn't insist, instead admiring Wan Qiang's contented spirit greatly.

After finishing the battlefield cleanup, having divided the acquired Martial Skills and Cultivation Techniques evenly, they opted to separate.

"Roaming Dragon Shocking Wind Step, a Body Technique that simulates wind momentum using the physical body to harness Wind Attribute Spiritual Power to increase speed. Within the Spirit Pill Realm, this Body Technique is rare indeed."Chu Nan concealed his inner joy, and planned to first enter seclusion to cultivate the Martial Skill just as Wan Qiang did.

Chu Nan's defense was bolstered by his robust physique; his offense included Sword Technique and Fist Technique, but the only Body Technique—the Soaring Wind Sky-Stepping Technique—became rather impractical post-Spirit Pill Realm breakthrough, offering limited speed increase.

But with the Roaming Dragon Shocking Wind Step, it's different; this method can harness Wind Attribute Spiritual Power, blending oneself with the wind.

By achieving perfection in this technique, utilizing the wind momentum allows short-time flight, lasting as long as one incense stick burning session!

If one attains Unity of Heaven and Man, comprehending Martial Intent related to wind, this duration extends, along with various miraculous changes.

Even after entering the Yang Wheel Realm, Roaming Dragon Shocking Wind Step remains a formidable Body Technique.

"Even if only cultivating it to Minor Achievement, I could use the Body Technique to exhaust Lu Chi!"

Chu Nan used the map to locate a secluded spot, beginning to grasp the Roaming Dragon Shocking Wind Step.

Inside the dim cavern, gusts of wind occasionally flickered, and Chu Nan simulated wind momentum according to the cultivation method, merging with the wind.

Although the process was exceedingly challenging, with Kui Guang offering guidance, every incense burning session brought significant progress to Chu Nan.

Typically, a True Disciple only cultivates one high-grade Yellow Rank Martial Skill—not for lack of desire to cultivate more, but because they simply can't.

The comprehension of a high-grade Yellow Rank Martial Skill is exceptionally difficult; entering within a month is considered quick, achieving Minor Achievement in half a year is deemed talented.

Without sufficient aptitude, too many high-grade Yellow Rank Martial Skills could wear a Martial Artist thin, leading to weakness through quantity without quality.

Unless the talent is truly remarkable, most Spirit Pill Realm only specialize in one powerful Martial Skill, unable to achieve holistic development.

Chu Nan's existence is an anomaly difficult for ordinary people to comprehend!
