"Excellent! Truly excellent!" Mu Gui Wuxin nodded repeatedly, "I heard you were still at the Demon Subduing Nine Battles stage?"

"Your news is outdated." Fabredis clapped Mu Gui Wuxin on the back, "He is already at the Demon Subduing War Battle stage now."

The thick beard on Mu Gui Wuxin’s face twitched violently, and his ox-sized eyes stared blankly at Gan Jin for a long time, unable to speak. Demon Subduing War Battle! This kid is how old? When I was his age, I think I had just become a Demon Subduing Warrior, right?

"Don't believe it? You can try it," Fabredis wore a provocative expression, "Just try it, and you’ll know?"

Mu Gui Wuxin still couldn't fully recover from the shock. To reach the level of a Demon Subduing Warrior at this age was genius; to reach Demon Subduing War Battle? A monster? Or a Bloodline Warrior?

"Try it?" Mu Gui Wuxin's sturdy frame slightly swayed, his fighting aura instantly reaching the level of a Demon Subduing War Battle. His five fingers clenched into a fist the size of a jar, "At the same rank, let me see how strong you are." (Novel Website)

Gan Jin had been fighting demonic beasts in the Endless World these past few days, and it felt too repetitive. The first time offered novelty, the second time was acceptable, but fighting the same type of demonic beast ten or twenty times, having completely figured out their attack patterns and habits, even knowing their weak points when they struck, was utterly boring.

He couldn't defeat stronger demonic beasts, and Gan Jin wanted to clash with different powerful entities. Having Duan Feng and Bu Er gang up on him wasn't interesting either. The only one left to spar with was Fabredis, and now he finally had a chance to test his skills against another strong individual.

"Good!"

Gan Jin agreed readily. The one hundred and eight Dou Qiao within his body instantly reached the Ten Thousand Revolutions realm. His two legs became like elastic steel lances, and the flagstones beneath his feet instantly ceased to be intact. The powerful thrust force shattered the stones, turning the ground beneath him into a small patch of ruins.

Speed! Gan Jin understood its importance very well from his continuous battles in Xishan. The sudden eruption of his Demon Subduing War Battle strength propelled his body forward at high speed. The friction between his clothes and the air whistled, like the low horn blast of a battlefield. Luo Qingqing didn't even see how Gan Jin moved; his body had already appeared in front of Mu Gui Wuxin!

His body lowered as he charged forward, like a grass snake slithering or a night wolf sprinting. His hands, hidden at his waist, suddenly thrust out rapidly, tearing the air with a shrill sound and a streak of extreme black shadow!

So fast! Mu Gui Wuxin’s heart jolted violently. How could a Demon Subduing War Battle fighter be this fast? This was… Split Gold Continuous Slash? Correct! The Bloodline Dou Skill of the Iron Arm Mantis Bloodline, the Split Gold Continuous Slash! Where the arms passed, the air itself could be cut! How was this possible? Not a Bloodline Warrior, yet he could use a Bloodline Dou Skill?

The brilliance in Mu Gui Wuxin’s eyes surged. Split Gold Continuous Slash! The Dou Skill of the Iron Arm Mantis Bloodline, renowned for the swiftness and fierce rigidity of its power upon execution, rumored to be capable of severing metal!

With no room for hesitation, Mu Gui Wuxin didn't have time to overthink or reprimand Gan Jin for fighting without declaration. Fighting aura flooded both arms, causing his already exceptionally thick limbs to swell again. Muscles snapped audibly as they strained against his clothes, momentarily making his arms look like actual steel. He blocked in front of his chest, truly like a massive iron gate sealing off all of Gan Jin's paths. His right elbow rotated in the air, smashing down towards Gan Jin’s head like a colossal sledgehammer dropping down.

Coming from above! The elbow strike covered a shorter distance. It would clearly be faster for his opponent to strike his head than to break through the defense of his arms. As his body absorbed the impact, he subtly straightened and tilted to the side, his right arm transforming into a battle blade, slicing upward diagonally!

Arm met elbow, resulting in a deep, muffled thud. Both their bodies shook simultaneously but did not retreat; they used their physical forms to absorb the counter-force, vying to seize the upper hand in the struggle!

Damn it! How old is he to have mastered the technique of forcibly neutralizing impact force with his body during combat? Mu Gui Wuxin's pupils contracted rapidly in astonishment, and Gan Jin struck again!

No retreat! No retracting the arm! Using the elbow as the central pivot point, he chopped forward with his forearm as the blade! Gan Jin unleashed the unique combat technique of the Fourth Level Split Gold Continuous Slash with both arms at full power! Short distance, continuous slashes!

Chopping typically requires moving the entire arm to achieve maximum destructive power! The continuous slash aspect of Split Gold Continuous Slash centered on the elbow, allowing the forearm to execute maneuvers that normally require moving both arms, thus making the attack several times faster than the enemy's! While the destructive power should decrease, due to the inherent toughness of the Iron Arm Mantis Bloodline providing sturdy arms capable of withstanding intense chopping, the power was not diminished in the slightest!

The muffled sound of air collision had barely ceased before a fierce gale began to whip up between them. In Fen Tu Kuang Ge’s eyes, Gan Jin’s two arms transformed into a dozen or so, making it impossible to distinguish the real from the feint for a moment.

Fifteen slashes per second! Every slash was real! Every slash was fake!

Mu Gui Wuxin was truly stunned. This was an advanced move within the Split Gold Continuous Slash. He had only heard of it before but had never truly witnessed it. Rumor had it that even some Iron Arm Mantis Bloodline Warriors during their first awakening of bloodline power couldn't achieve this level!

In that moment of surprise, the fifteen slashes instantly merged into one! Gan Jin’s right arm drew back and retracted, his palm swirling in a circle before his chest, seemingly pulling all fifteen slashes towards his chest, his momentum accumulating to its absolute peak in an instant! His body rose and fell slightly, his two arms uniting as one, stabbing toward Mu Gui Wuxin’s heart like a fierce dragon emerging from the water!

In that instant, the killing intent between the two fighters intensified to the extreme. Gan Jin, after days of continuous fighting in Xishan, had barely managed to grope out a pathway to fuse Split Gold Continuous Slash with Earth Splitting Slash. The realization was that if they couldn't truly fuse, he needed to find a way to link them, to keep them flowing together!

This strike was a variation of a Dou Skill, the [Fifteen-in-One Earth Splitting Slash], which Gan Jin had forged through constant battle, using his characteristic unorthodox methods to mutate and blend the two techniques.

The hand is the blade! The arm is the long handle of the battle blade! In the Human-Demon Battlefield, a five-foot-long edge shattered enemies and broke fortresses; wherever the blade flashed, only corpses remained! How domineering and magnificent!

This fusion by Gan Jin had also absorbed the dominating essence of the Zhanmadao (horse-slashing saber), managing to harmonize two potent forces.

Between the two of them, the space suddenly seemed to transform into the Human-Demon Battlefield, as the formidable power of Gan Jin's domineering strike fully erupted!

"So aggressive?" Mu Gui Wuxin was shocked again and again, finally understanding why Hong Liu Shizhan and Zeng Chuandong praised Gan Jin so highly. Those fellows hadn't told the full truth about this kid’s actual strength! He is far stronger than you described!

In a flash of lightning and flint, Mu Gui Wuxin ignored the thought of chastising Hong Liu Shizhan and the others for providing inaccurate information. His fighting aura directly increased to four thousand five hundred revolutions. The muscles in his arms twisted and snapped under the surge of fighting aura, acting as a colossal shield blocking Gan Jin's assault.

No hesitation, no yielding! The Earth Splitting Slash slammed heavily onto Mu Gui Wuxin’s arm! The fighting aura of one hundred thousand revolutions erupted fully, creating a clash of fighting auras followed by a massive sound of colliding muscle and bone! The two savage forces crashed together, like two heavy cavalrymen colliding at high speed. The onlookers felt the ground beneath their feet vibrate slightly; the flagstones beneath their feet were already pulverized beyond recognition.

Shock erupted across Mu Gui Wuxin's face once more, and a searing pain shot up his arm. The fighting aura of the Demon Subduing War Battle stage was instantly shattered. Gan Jin’s Earth Splitting Slash surged forward like a breaking dam!

Not good! Mu Gui Wuxin couldn't afford to maintain the Demon Subduing War Battle stage any longer. The fighting aura within him surged rapidly! Demon Subduing War Battle Two… Demon Subduing War Battle Three… Four Battles… Five Battles! Six Battles!

Bang! The point of contact between their bodies shook again. The fighting aura surrounding Mu Gui Wuxin’s arms was finally violently repelled. He was forced back two steps, and Gan Jin took eight quick steps back before planting his feet firmly!

"Fabredis, you bastard, you lied to me!" Mu Gui Wuxin shook his arms, which were still throbbing from the pain inflicted by the Earth Splitting Slash, and jumped up, roaring loudly, "How is this kid just a One Battle stage? The impact force and the quality of fighting aura he unleashed just now were at least Five Battles! His revolution rate must be around ten thousand!"

"I didn't lie to you, the hell I did," Fabredis clutched his stomach, bent over with laughter, and repeatedly slapped his thigh while stubbornly retorting, "Dare you say his strength isn't the Demon Subduing War Battle stage? Dare you say it isn't?"

Mu Gui Wuxin was struck dumb. The amount of fighting aura was indeed that of a Demon Subduing War Battle stage, but the problem was! This kid’s fighting aura revolution rate was wildly problematic, and the quality of his fighting aura was also deeply flawed! These two problematic abilities mixed together, and the resulting impact force and destructive power were absolutely equal to a Demon Subduing War Five Battles!

Most importantly! The most important thing wasn't the revolution rate or the fighting aura quality! Mu Gui Wuxin stared blankly at Gan Jin, who remained calm, his eyes even alight with excitement from the battle, feeling utterly speechless. This kid's truly terrifying aspect was his combat efficiency!

Efficiency! The timing and positioning of every strike were direct and swift, with not a single wasted movement, precise as a combat machine, maximizing the destructive power that his current strength level could exert to its absolute peak!

Having fighting aura strength isn't frightening; what's frightening is the ability to extract the maximum destructive power from an equal amount of fighting aura strength! Mu Gui Wuxin calculated secretly. If he, at the time he reached Demon Subduing War Five Battles, had faced Gan Jin, he would probably have been defeated more than once already.

Fighting aura is easy to train, but true combat prowess is much harder to master! Mu Gui Wuxin genuinely couldn't fathom it. Gan Jin’s combat efficiency was like a skill honed by years of fighting in the Human-Demon Battlefield, yet he couldn't possibly have fought there.

And that presence! Mu Gui Wuxin recalled Gan Jin's posture during the fight. Except for the final moment when he forcibly surpassed levels to boost his fighting aura and shake Gan Jin back, the young warrior hadn't taken a single step backward during the entire engagement. The whole fight, he was doing one thing: Advancing! Advancing!
