161 Battle against Nascent Soul Genius
Brian stood in the middle of the ring and looked around.
"I know many of you are still dissatisfied. If you want to challenge me, please, go ahead!"
Hearing his words, those cheers slowly died down. Those people who were cheering for him didn't look hesitated. But, those who didn't consider whether to challenge him or not. After all, he had mastered Void Steps.
The strongest movement art that allowed him to shuttle through space. It was the pinnacle of movement art for any Mortal Grade as it was a Saint Grade Movement Art.
As for Immortal Grade, only the cultivation technique 'Immemorial Dragon Elephant Body Technique' can be considered Immortal Grade.
Whoosh! Thud!
Suddenly, a figure flew out of the crowd and landed in the middle of the stage. He wore purple-golden armor and held a gold spear in his hand. He had a pale complexion and seems to have a muscular body.
His black hair was short and his pupils were staring at Brian.
"You said you would accept any challenges, right?"
Hearing his words, Brian was about to reply just when the elder interrupted.
"No! Long Tian, you are already at Nascent Soul Cultivation Realm. Even if Brian had superior strength in the same realm, there is too much difference. Besides, you aren't that much different from him in strength in a similar realm."
Hearing his words, Long Tian ignored him and looked at Brian. Seeing his eyes, Brian thought for a moment and said.
"I have created three moves in these two weeks from the martial arts that I learned. I wanted to test them out. So, how about we battle for three moves instead of a regular battle?"
Hearing his words, Long Tian slowly smiled.
"Alright, I accept."
The elder immediately turned around and asked "Brian, are you sure? Long Tian is already at the top hundred on Martial Youth List. His talent isn't less than most people. And, he had only joined the Martial Youth List two years ago."
"You can reject this challenge if you want. After all, there is too much difference in the realm."
Brian was surprised by the elder's persuasion. But, he shook his head and said.
"I understand your worries, elder. But, if I back down now, how can I support my words? Won't I be similar to those scums who only dominate the weak and fear the strong?"
Hearing his words, Elder suddenly realized something. Brian was never fighting out of anger or battle intent. He was just fighting to prove his point. And, he had to admit.
If Brian truly wanted to prove his point, he must stick with it. That means he must face Long Tian in the battle.
"Alright! You two can start the battle." The elder sighed and disappeared. He didn't move far away. He stuck closer to the ring and used his true essence to condense a barrier around him.
He was standing there so that he could interfere at any moment.
"Aren't you foolish to fight someone stronger than you despite knowing it?" Long Tian couldn't help but taunt him. He didn't care about Brian's philosophy but what he said made Long Tian feel embarrassed.
Because he never had the courage to do so.
"You are the foolish one. I never said I would I stronger than me. I only said I won't reject your challenge. If elder t challenge me, I would've rejected the challenge."
"As for accepting your challenge, despite knowing that you are strong. It isn't foolishness but bravery. The people surrounding me are cowards. They think that talent is everything and only it can help them achieve."
"But, there have been more than hundreds of Divine Rank Martial Souls but only six saints in our region. Why? Because the god's grace is just false hope, a drop in the ocean that will always keep you blinded from seeing the horizon."
Brian slowly raised his hand and touched his chest.
"Only your true Will is the true hope."
Boom!
Suddenly, the red flames burst out of his arms. Slowly, the flames spread around his body. The powerful flames rose behind him and slowly formed the shape of the dragon above his head.
Brian took a deep breath and released it.

At this moment, his body turned into spiral flames as he vanished in front of Long Tian. In less than a second, Long Tian covered his body with his true essence and released it to his spear.
He swung his body and pierced toward the sky. Suddenly, the flames burst out of the sky. It was a gigantic fist, covering the entire stage. The bright red light released out of the flames was overshadowing the spear.
But, the true essence around the spear changed into a blue dragon as it rushed toward the gigantic fist.

Boom!
The blue dragon soared and collided against the fist and the massive explosion swept Brian and Long Tian. Brian flew up toward the sky but not a single part of his body was damaged.
Long Tian didn't get burned. His armor was strong enough to deal with the explosion but the impact was truly strong. It almost sent him out of the ring.
He managed to fly at the right moment and skip that dangerous situation.
The entire stage was covered with flames.
Seeing that, the elders were shocked.
'What kind of power was that? Even if his Divine Sun was strong, it shouldn't be able to produce such heat with his cultivation. Is this the power of the martial art he created?'
'Even if he could create a martial art with the help of other martial arts, it shouldn't be this powerful, right? Wait.... Why does that fist look similar?'
The elder stared at the flames for a moment and his eyes widened the next moment.
'That's Fire Dragon Destruction Fist. It had a similar impact but the power had been amplified by his Martial Soul. No… not only that, he also changed the way the Fire Dragon Destruction Fist is used.'
'Normally, a person would need to make a fist contact for that attack but for this, I only saw a gigantic flame fist. I thought it was normal at first but seems like he took the essence of Fire Dragon Destruction Fist, combined it with Fire Dragon Breath and his martial soul.'
'This boy... His understanding is truly astounding. Sure enough, those weren't just rumors. He did manage to get that armor for himself like the Vice-Sect Master, or rather it seemed even more willing to serve him.'
'I can't believe such a person can exist.'
The elder felt ridiculous when he compared others to Brian. Up until now, he believed that even if Brian was talented, there was some kind of limits but now, he was sure that Brian was already at the top in terms of sheer talent.
In the sky, Brian used Void Steps to keep himself up. After the flames disappeared, he teleported him to the ground. As soon as he reached the ground, his flames once again flared out.freewebn ovel.com
Suddenly, a fast and sharp spear came from behind. It was too fast, even fast for the elder to react properly. But, at this moment, the flames around his body simply burst out like waves in the oceans, consuming Long Tian in the sea of flames.

Boom!
The explosion swept away Long Tian, and this time, it even melted his armor. The power of the explosion knocked him out off the stage but he didn't fall down. Even when he was almost pushed into the crowd, he managed to keep himself in the air.
He clenched his teeth with the rage flashing in his eyes. He never expected to get injured by someone in the True Essence Realm and more importantly, he wasn't an ordinary person.
He was a genius, ranked 85th on Martial Youth List. He had only participated in this list for two years and he was already at that ranking. This was unprecedented in the world and he was considered to be some of the top talents in the world.
His killing intent soared. At this moment, a powerful red light shone from his spear. In an instant, everyone's eyes tightened especially the elders and Cao Ping.
But then he noticed Brian standing there with his eyes closed. He seemed to be pouring his flames into his right fist. It felt like he was aware of the upcoming attack.
Now, the question was. Can he block it?
They didn't know but from his preparation, he seemed to have some confidence in it. Long Tian instantly dashed toward Brian with an extreme. He poured an enormous killing intent and true essence into his spear as he thrust it forward.

When he reached closer, Brian's eyes suddenly opened. The enormous flames condensed a red magma around his fist. The next moment, he pushed his fist forward.
