Prak.. prak..
The remnant from the catastrophic impact had left a huge crater in the middle of the enemy ranks, and from the looks of it, any monsters that were caught directly in that blast before, was instantly reduced to ashes!
Even the surrounding monsters that had barely managed to survive the blast were heavily injured, such that they had lost quite a few of their limbs here and there!
All in all, this scene was entirely unexpected to everyone, even in their wildest dream, they dared not imagine such a thing to happen!
"T-This.."
"What an unbelieveable amount of force!"
"That one punch alone has just effectively killed more than half of the monsters!"
Gulp!
"Y-You.. when did you get so strong?" Shen Murong asked Duan Li with his mouth still wide agape in disbelief.
"I.. I did not expect this as well.." Duan Li replied as he scratched the back of his head, feeling a little bit embarrassed.
All along, he imagined that his full-charged attack would be several times more stronger than usual, but he did not expect it to be THAT strong!
"Are.. you able to do that again?" Shen Lu asked with his mouth twitching.
They had planned a lot of stuff just for the sake of this battle, such as how to attack and defend, their position and rally point, backup and alternative plan as well as several contingencies for emergency purposes. He even went as far as going 10 steps beyond personally, by burning the midnight oil to repeatedly go through over their battle plan so many times that he could recall them even in his sleep!
If their Lord happened to be able to do that kind of attack for even at least just twice, then it was certain that their enemies would be obliterated completely, leaving them with nothing to do. It would indeed be the most positive outcome as there will be no casualties on their side, but he was stifled as well if that were to happen.
After all, all their previous meticulous preparations and hard work would be for naught and down the drain!
"Eh? Let me see.." Duan Li pulled back his arm and made the same body gesture to punch yet again with his fist art!
"Ahh? Waitt!!" Shen Lu reached out his hand to stop Duan Li, but it was all too late, as the latter swiftly punched out, akin to the hammer being released from the God of judgement..
Unstoppable and devastating!
Peww~
BOOOMMMMMM!!
Although Duan Li's second punch was nothing earth-shattering like the first one, it still managed to take out another few hundreds of the severely injured monsters around the crater.
"Ahh.. as I thought.. even though theoretically I could do the same thing again, the fist art does not seems to be able to charge up this time.. I guess my meridian channels was not yet strong enough to handle its recoil?" he said and then shook his head in disappointment.
This was also the reason why the second punch was faster than his first one - since it doesn't charge at all, why wait needlessly?
Thus he just punched it out!
Meanwhile, Shen Lu could only cry in indignance silently within his heart.
He had asked the other party the question before not for it to be tested out, but so that the uneasiness in his heart would be smothered!
But who could have thought that the other party would instead deployed yet another fist attack?
It was only fortunate that the second punch was just a miniature version of the first one, or he would really spurt out some old blood and faint!
In addition, what is with that look of disappointment on your face?!
It should be us instead having that look!
Us!!
After all, we haven't even done a single thing at all, and the next thing we knew, close to about 7,000 of the enemy monsters were already being done in by you alone!
Why can't you have the spirit of benevolence and magnanimity in that vast heart of your's?
This isn't fair for us!
The rest of his party was utterly shocked as well, and they couldn't find any sorts of words, much less constructing proper sentences to comment and describe for this kind of outcome.
It was only after a long silence that someone began to speak up.
"Umm.. so.. should we go attack them now? There are still some leftover monsters over there.." a person pointed out to a patch of disabled monsters in the distance, with some crawling on the ground with only one arm left, desperately trying to run away.
It was a pitiful sight and their agonized roars seemed to be crying out full of indignance.
They had come with vigor but before they could even process what was going on, there was a flash ball of fire, and then a loud boom, and suddenly, they were already in such a state!
Oh Heavens! Why did you give us such a fate..
Have you gone blind?
Where was the promised thrills of battle that could send us to valhalla?
Someone then replied, "Uhh yea.. let's check it out.. we should be able to kill at least one or two if we are quick enough, before they die off from their wounds.."
The masses then quickly rushed forward to meet the disorganized monsters, and when they finally arrived, some could not help but to shed a little bit of tears out of pity.
"Look at them.. they don't even have an ounce of battle intent left in their eyes.."
"Yeah.. and over there.. some was disoriented so much that even laying flat on the ground still have them twitching around constantly.."
"Look at this poor soul.. all its limbs were probably disintegrated from the blast.. its trying to crawl out from here using its tongue.."
"Ahh.. I can't watch such pain.. should we try to heal them first before we do our job?"
Hais!
This could only be described as an utter tragedy!
One of the group leaders then awkwardly called out to everyone, "Okay guys.. line up properly.. there won't be enough monsters for each of us to slay at this rate.. how about we do a rock-paper-scissor instead? Those who won could pick any monsters laying down over there, and you could also claim their monster cores!"
Immediately after, the other group leaders also turned to their members to discuss on how they should delegate the remaining monsters to be taken care off by their members.
And then, a few moments later, numerous types of competition was decided!
There were an arm-wrestling competition, fastest 100 meter sprinter, long jump, blind-folded javelin throw, blind-folded monster smash with a club, long-range archery competition, lottery, and more!
In fact, some groups had even opened up a stall to sell some beverage to others that were not competing and was just there to watch!
Not forgetting the group of volunteers that patched up some terribly injured monsters just so that they could live long enough to be slayed properly.
For the first time ever, some of these monsters seemed to shed tears of gratitude towards the human cultivators. At least, they would be able to die with a more warrior-like dignity this way!
Or so do they thought..
In fact, unbeknownst to them, these monsters were crying because they were aggrieved and were far more willing to die swiftly rather than being treated like this.
Yes, we do eat humans from time to time because you guys were tasty and full of nutrition, but spare us from this madness please!
Yet, their roars of horror was misunderstood as words of gratitude when the human cultivators heard it.
Smiling softly, the human cultivators wiped off the tears from these monsters gently and caress their head like they were some lovely pets of their's.
Hais!
How did we not realize they were actually this cute?
After watching the entire situation unfolding before his very eyes, high up above the sky, the Principal's figure had long turned into a stone with a permanent puffer fish-like expression.
If he were to not present here and was somewhere else, and then heard about this matter from another, even if the entirety of his Ancestor's graveyard was being turned over repeatedly, he would never believe even an ounce of it as the truth!
Just what the hell is going on here?!
How has a holy battle between mankind and monsters that was supposed to happen turned into something as such?
This is more like a twisted sports festival!
Meanwhile, Duan Li's party was grounded by the other students and were asked to stay put. Since their Lord had already claimed a lot from just two punches deployed by that formidable fist of his, the entirety of the party members were forbidden to even take single one more!
Right now, each and every one of Duan Li's followers showed a downcasted and dejected expression.
The one that seemed to take the most mental hit from this situation was Shen Lu, as he could be seen crying while laughing at the same time, as if turned into a deranged person and was no longer sane.
On the other hand, Shen Murong keeps on muttering 'my high quality spirit stones' repeatedly, as if traumatized from his life's fortune being taken away just when he was able to smell it in front of him.
As for the others, they also showed a multitude of expression; Xiahou Yu was seen drawing doodles of a fried chicken on the ground with her finger, as if experiencing from a special type of withdrawal symptom, Wei Shang and Wei Wang sat down while pulling their knees close to their face, as if their little hearts were being broken by a maiden they fell in love with, Guo He was playing with pebbles, Fei Longwei stared straight at the sky with his hands in his pocket, and Xu Rong shaking her head repeatedly as if denying something.
The only one who seemed to be quite indifferent to all these was Wang Xiolun, whom just kept his eyes closed with both arms crossed on his chest.
Only now did Duan Li realized just how he had wronged his followers, and he could only let out a long, deep sigh.
"Alright.. alright.. haa.. I know that it is my fault.. I'm sorry.. and to show that I'm sincere in my apology to you guys, I will give each of you some spirit stones when we get back to the residence court.."
Only when he said these, did their mournful countenances alleviated slightly.
...
Tap! Tap!
The Principal, Zhuge Liang and Duan Li's mother all landed on the ground with a complicated expression on their face.
Meng Yue was the first one to talk, "Young man.. as your mother, I think that you've done really well.. but.." she said as she looked at the rest of his party, ".. next time, try to keep things at the minimum alright?"
Duan Li sighed, and then nodded.
The Principal next spoke out, "You.. that fist art has long turned into something terrifying in your hands.. the name was supposed to be metaphoric, but you really did caused a meteor-like destruction over here.."
"I never thought that Sir Duan Li are both an excellect doctor and such a strong expert as well! If there are plenty of spare time in the future that we could use, I would like esteemed Sir to guide me in the arts of destruction!" Zhuge Liang bowed his head, his eyes showing deep reverence and respect towards Duan Li.
"Uhh.. yea.. sure?" Duan Li replied, feeling a little bit awkward as the other party was a senior, which was supposed to be way above him.
"Since the situation here has been resolved.. albeit in such an.. unconventional way.. we will head out to the other two fronts and aid them in their battles instead.. but, we will leave Zhuge Liang here, if there are any more 3 Star monsters from those packs of umm.. disabled monsters, he should be able to take care of them all with ease.." the Principal said.
After some small talk, the Principal swiftly left with Duan Li's mother to head towards the next two fronts.
...
While they were bolting through the skies together, Meng Yue got quite curious, "Was my son always that strong since the beginning?" she asked.
The Principal shook his head, "Well.. he was indeed strong from the start.. but not like this.. that fist attack he just made.. even if it was a Nascent Soul realm expert like me.. I'm not even sure if I would be able to take that head on.."
Meng Yue nodded, "Yeah.. such an attack was like the casual punch of an Escaping Mortality realm state.." she sub-consciously blurted out as she recalled a certain similar scene back in the past.
Hearing this, the Principal turned his head around in shock, "Y-You.. you knew about the names of the Nine Shackles of Mortality realm state?!"
Meng Yue was shocked as well, "Yeah.. but I only blurted that out unpurposely.. how did you come to know about it as well?"
"Well.. it's like this.." the Principal began to retell her the stories about the future with Duan Li as the main character of it all.
...
"Puuuhhhh!" a certain figure coughed out some sand from his mouth and stood haggardly with his feet on the ground, his entire appearance looking extremely wretched.
This person was with the monster pack before and was riding one of the monsters on its back while being invisible, before a sudden impact from a meteor that literally came out of nowhere came straight at him.
At that time, he was shocked silly and nearly pissed off his pants because the incoming meteor was too sudden and fast that his reaction time was slow by a single breath that he almost died!
Fortunately, in that last moment, he managed to compound the space around him with another barrier that absorbed most of the brunt of the impact!
But he was still blowned off far away into the distance nevertheless, about 5 kilometers away from where he originally were.
The robe that this person wore was supposed to be pitch black with the new moon symbol on it, but now, he looked nothing more than like a homeless beggar in the middle of the desert, as if he had just undergone through some serious robbery by a group of ravaging bandit!
"Curses! What in the name of the holy Demiruke's hell was that?!"
He cussed out in extreme frustrations and anger.
As the most elite and dangerous underground society in the Tian continent, which was the Dark Sect, all their operation was always being updated with the latest information thoroughly, such that even climate change was taken into consideration when they were about to conduct their acitivities.
Just how in the world did such an obvious meteor strike was not inside his briefing files?
The next time I return to the headquarters, I will beat that person whom was in charge of giving out information to us black and blue!
Just you wait!
"Sh*t! Now I'm in no mood to play.. I need to vent this frustration inside me.."
Just as he said this, an idea flashed through his mind as he crept up a sinister smile.
"I just got the perfect sample right over there.. huehuehue.."

I can't watch such pain.. should we try to heal them first before we do our job?" Hais! This could only be described as an utter tragedy! One of the group leaders then awkwardly called out to everyone, "Okay guys.. line up properly.. there won't be enough monsters for each of us to slay at this rate.. how about we do a rock-paper-scissor instead? Those who won could pick any monsters laying down over there, and you could also claim their monster cores!" Immediately after, the other group leaders also turned to their members to discuss on how they should delegate the remaining monsters to be taken care off by their members. And then, a few moments later, numerous types of competition was decided! There were an arm-wrestling competition, fastest 100 meter sprinter, long jump, blind-folded javelin throw, blind-folded monster smash with a club, long-range archery competition, lottery, and more! In fact, some groups had even opened up a stall to sell some beverage to others that were not competing and was just there to watch! Not forgetting the group of volunteers that patched up some terribly injured monsters just so that they could live long enough to be slayed properly. For the first time ever, some of these monsters seemed to shed tears of gratitude towards the human cultivators. At least, they would be able to die with a more warrior-like dignity this way! Or so do they thought.. In fact, unbeknownst to them, these monsters were crying because they were aggrieved and were far more willing to die swiftly rather than being treated like this. Yes, we do eat humans from time to time because you guys were tasty and full of nutrition, but spare us from this madness please! Yet, their roars of horror was misunderstood as words of gratitude when the human cultivators heard it. Smiling softly, the human cultivators wiped off the tears from these monsters gently and caress their head like they were some lovely pets of their's. Hais! How did we not realize they were actually this cute? After watching the entire situation unfolding before his very eyes, high up above the sky, the Principal's figure had long turned into a stone with a permanent puffer fish-like expression. If he were to not present here and was somewhere else, and then heard about this matter from another, even if the entirety of his Ancestor's graveyard was being turned over repeatedly, he would never believe even an ounce of it as the truth! Just what the hell is going on here?! How has a holy battle between mankind and monsters that was supposed to happen turned into something as such? This is more like a twisted sports festival! Meanwhile, Duan Li's party was grounded by the other students and were asked to stay put. Since their Lord had already claimed a lot from just two punches deployed by that formidable fist of his, the entirety of the party members were forbidden to even take single one more! Right now, each and every one of Duan Li's followers showed a downcasted and dejected expression. The one that seemed to take the most mental hit from this situation was Shen Lu, as he could be seen crying while laughing at the same time, as if turned into a deranged person and was no longer sane. On the other hand, Shen Murong keeps on muttering 'my high quality spirit stones' repeatedly, as if traumatized from his life's fortune being taken away just when he was able to smell it in front of him. As for the others, they also showed a multitude of expression; Xiahou Yu was seen drawing doodles of a fried chicken on the ground with her finger, as if experiencing from a special type of withdrawal symptom, Wei Shang and Wei Wang sat down while pulling their knees close to their face, as if their little hearts were being broken by a maiden they fell in love with, Guo He was playing with pebbles, Fei Longwei stared straight at the sky with his hands in his pocket, and Xu Rong shaking her head repeatedly as if denying something. The only one who seemed to be quite indifferent to all these was Wang Xiolun, whom just kept his eyes closed with both arms crossed on his chest. Only now did Duan Li realized just how he had wronged his followers, and he could only let out a long, deep sigh. "Alright.. alright.. haa.. I know that it is my fault.. I'm sorry.. and to show that I'm sincere in my apology to you guys, I will give each of you some spirit stones when we get back to the residence court.." Only when he said these, did their mournful countenances alleviated slightly. ... Tap! Tap! The Principal, Zhuge Liang and Duan Li's mother all landed on the ground with a complicated expression on their face. Meng Yue was the first one to talk, "Young man.. as your mother, I think that you've done really well.. but.." she said as she looked at the rest of his party, ".. next time, try to keep things at the minimum alright?" Duan Li sighed, and then nodded. The Principal next spoke out, "You.. that fist art has long turned into something terrifying in your hands.. the name was supposed to be metaphoric, but you really did caused a meteor-like destruction over here.." "I never thought that Sir Duan Li are both an excellect doctor and such a strong expert as well! If there are plenty of spare time in the future that we could use, I would like esteemed Sir to guide me in the arts of destruction!" Zhuge Liang bowed his head, his eyes showing deep reverence and respect towards Duan Li. "Uhh.. yea.. sure?" Duan Li replied, feeling a little bit awkward as the other party was a senior, which was supposed to be way above him. "Since the situation here has been resolved.. albeit in such an.. unconventional way.. we will head out to the other two fronts and aid them in their battles instead.. but, we will leave Zhuge Liang here, if there are any more 3 Star monsters from those packs of umm.. disabled monsters, he should be able to take care of them all with ease.." the Principal said. After some small talk, the Principal swiftly left with Duan Li's mother to head towards the next two fronts. ... While they were bolting through the skies together, Meng Yue got quite curious, "Was my son always that strong since the beginning?" she asked. The Principal shook his head, "Well.. he was indeed strong from the start.. but not like this.. that fist attack he just made.. even if it was a Nascent Soul realm expert like me.. I'm not even sure if I would be able to take that head on.." Meng Yue nodded, "Yeah.. such an attack was like the casual punch of an Escaping Mortality realm state.." she sub-consciously blurted out as she recalled a certain similar scene back in the past. Hearing this, the Principal turned his head around in shock, "Y-You.. you knew about the names of the Nine Shackles of Mortality realm state?!" Meng Yue was shocked as well, "Yeah.. but I only blurted that out unpurposely.. how did you come to know about it as well?" "Well.. it's like this.." the Principal began to retell her the stories about the future with Duan Li as the main character of it all. ... "Puuuhhhh!" a certain figure coughed out some sand from his mouth and stood haggardly with his feet on the ground, his entire appearance looking extremely wretched. This person was with the monster pack before and was riding one of the monsters on its back while being invisible, before a sudden impact from a meteor that literally came out of nowhere came straight at him. At that time, he was shocked silly and nearly pissed off his pants because the incoming meteor was too sudden and fast that his reaction time was slow by a single breath that he almost died! Fortunately, in that last moment, he managed to compound the space around him with another barrier that absorbed most of the brunt of the impact! But he was still blowned off far away into the distance nevertheless, about 5 kilometers away from where he originally were. The robe that this person wore was supposed to be pitch black with the new moon symbol on it, but now, he looked nothing more than like a homeless beggar in the middle of the desert, as if he had just undergone through some serious robbery by a group of ravaging bandit! "Curses! What in the name of the holy Demiruke's hell was that?!" He cussed out in extreme frustrations and anger. As the most elite and dangerous underground society in the Tian continent, which was the Dark Sect, all their operation was always being updated with the latest information thoroughly, such that even climate change was taken into consideration when they were about to conduct their acitivities. Just how in the world did such an obvious meteor strike was not inside his briefing files? The next time I return to the headquarters, I will beat that person whom was in charge of giving out information to us black and blue! Just you wait! "Sh*t! Now I'm in no mood to play.. I need to vent this frustration inside me.." Just as he said this, an idea flashed through his mind as he crept up a sinister smile. "I just got the perfect sample right over there.. huehuehue.." ...
