Chen Shi arrived outside the city and found a secluded corner, where he stuck a candied haw stick in the ground. Noticing there was nobody around, he hurriedly relaxed for a brief moment.
"Almost died holding in a piss."
He carried on with his Black Pot and journeyed to Bridge Bay Town, arriving just as the townspeople were returning from burying floating corpses. Fu Leisheng was among them, and Chen Shi greeted him, "Master, I desire to witness the cultivation and strength of the Nascent Soul Realm."
Fu Leisheng gave him a deep look and said, "Follow me."
The two went outside the town, and Fu Leisheng activated his cultivation technique. Behind his head, a Divine Shrine Divine Embryo appeared, within which an immense pressure lurked, causing a slight depression in the ground where he stood.
"My Nascent Soul is hidden inside the Divine Embryo, which nurtures it, allowing the Nascent Soul to grow strong. However, I have not cultivated to the level of Soul Emergence, so I cannot show you the Nascent Soul."
Fu Leisheng gently lifted his hand, and suddenly the ground under Chen Shi’s feet trembled slightly and then cracked open, a giant block of earth two to three zhang in length and eight to nine chi thick erupted from the ground, carrying Chen Shi into the air more than ten zhang above the ground!
"My True Qi is vigorous, far surpassing the ninth transition of Golden Core!"
He focused his spirit, and the giant block of earth, carrying Chen Shi, flew higher and higher, eventually reaching a hundred zhang up, Fu Leisheng’s limit, before it finally stopped. Afterward, it slowly descended and a moment later, returned to its original place.
Fu Leisheng said, "A force field formed by my Nascent Soul surrounds my body, spread by the Divine Embryo. All spells within it will be limited. You may try it if you like."
Chen Shi replied, "Alright!"
Before he finished speaking, a small temple had already appeared behind his head, and a streak of Sword Qi shot out, its speed so swift that even Fu Leisheng was taken aback!
This Sword Qi used the simplest Stabbing Sword Style, piercing into Fu Leisheng’s Nascent Soul Power field. It was as if an invisible swordsmanship master wielded a sword, channeling all his strength into the blade and thrusting it straight at his throat!
As the Sword Qi entered the Nascent Soul Power field, it slowed down as if mired in mud, and soon the friction caused the Sword Qi to heat up and burst into flames, eventually stopping three inches from Fu Leisheng’s throat.
Fu Leisheng looked at the sword that had almost pierced his throat and couldn’t help but break into a perspiration at his temples.
He did not expect Chen Shi to act so quickly, that even as he uttered the word ’good’, the Sword Qi had already arrived, and its might was so ferocious that it almost broke through his Nascent Soul Power field!
"Thank goodness it was blocked, otherwise it would have pierced my throat with one strike..."
He was just about to speak when suddenly, Chen Shi shifted his feet and lunged forward, throwing a punch directly at his face!
The power behind the punch was overwhelmingly dominant, and when it burst forth, it erupted like thunder, as if a thunderclap had been unleashed.
Fu Leisheng’s ears rang from the blast, his mind jarred, even eliciting a trace of fear. The Nascent Soul residing within the Divine Embryo felt somewhat unsettled.
"If his fist was any stronger, capable of producing a real Thunder Sound, it might take only one punch to kill even a being at the Nascent Soul Realm!"
No sooner had he thought this, than Chen Shi’s fist was at his face. The fist was surrounded by flames, his muscles bulged under his skin, his Qi-Blood surged even more ferociously than the Sword Qi, reaching his chin.
But to progress further was difficult, his punch incapable of posing a threat to Fu Leisheng.
Chen Shi bellowed and moved as if stepping on the Big Dipper, using both hands and feet in a storm-like barrage, furiously assailing Fu Leisheng!
Each punch and kick he threw was accompanied by a thunderous roar, constantly shaking. Though none of them actually hit Fu Leisheng, they kept causing tremors in the Nascent Soul Power field, shaking Fu Leisheng’s body uncontrollably, making him float and fall back!
Chen Shi’s frenzied attacks made his Qi-Blood ever more thriving, and under this onslaught, Fu Leisheng kept floating backward, yet Chen Shi’s strikes could never truly hit him.
Fu Leisheng was puzzled and alarmed, sensing that if this continued, his Nascent Soul Power field might be shattered by the relentless attacks!
"He wants to kill me!"
Fu Leisheng, struck by the surge of Qi-Blood, actually had a moment of fear before he snapped back to his senses, thinking, "His fighting spirit is too intense, affecting my judgment! Strange, he’s just a child, why does he have such a terrifying fighting spirit?"
Just then, as the Nascent Soul Power field finally broke under Chen Shi’s savage assault, and his fist was about to reach Fu Leisheng’s face, Fu Leisheng could not help but raise his hand to block the hit.
Both men’s bodies shook greatly, Chen Shi stepping back.
Despite having taken that punch and forcing Chen Shi back, Fu Leisheng felt his Qi-Blood agitated, like a bottle filled with water violently shaken, the water swirling and churning within, making his complexion flush red as he thought, "Such strong Qi-Blood!"
He took a deep breath to steady his Qi-Blood, stepped forward, and said solemnly, "Chen Shi, this is the pressure I create by harnessing Nascent Soul Power!"
As he raised his palm and reversed it, Chen Shi suddenly felt the world spinning, and in the next moment, he was brutally slammed to the ground, completely unable to resist or evade!
Fu Leisheng’s palm pushed downward, the ground thundering, and the earth around Chen Shi abruptly sunk!
A palm imprint about two to three zhang in radius was clearly visible, with Chen Shi right beneath it.
He tried to stand up, propping himself with his hands, but was again pressed down by the Power of the Nascent Soul field!
Fu Leisheng withdrew his Nascent Soul Power, and only then could Chen Shi rise.
"Is the gap really this wide?" Chen Shi frowned and muttered to himself.
Fu Leisheng said, "Each realm is a different heaven. Your Golden Core is actually quite strong, stronger than many at the fourth or fifth transition of Golden Core Mana. But with a gap of one realm, even if you cultivate to the ninth transition of Golden Core, your power is still much inferior to that of the Nascent Soul."
