Chapter 5

  • “What martial skill did David Bishop use just now?”
  • “It doesn’t look like a martial skill. It seems just like any ordinary straight punch, but he smoothly dodged Sam Martin’s Fierce Tiger Fist, moved to Sam Martin’s back, spun his body, and swung out with that punch, all of which happened in just an instant... I wonder how he did it?”
  • “Are you kidding me? How could such a strong move not be a martial skill? David Bishop split open Sam Martin’s shoulder blade with just a single punch!”
  • ......
  • The Martin Family disciples discussed energetically, but they were absolutely unable to see through the Collapsing Fist David Bishop used.
  • That fist move... although seemingly simple, its might was truly shocking.
  • “Sam Martin’s shoulder blade has completely shattered. His right arm is crippled!”
  • Fifth Elder examined Sam Martin’s injuries and drew in a breath of cold air. He displayed a brief startled expression when he glanced at David Bishop.
  • A mere level one of Body Tempering Stage martial artist was actually able to execute such a formidable attack.
  • After assigning some Martin Family disciples to carry Sam Martin away for treatment, Liam Martin walked over to David Bishop, who was calmly standing there.
  • At this very moment, he had the misconception that the person standing in front of him was not a youth but a seasoned expert of the Martial Dao.
  • “That fist technique you executed earlier... what is it called? It lacks the complication of common martial skills and instead exerts force like a landslide. How long have you cultivated it?”
  • Liam Martin glanced at David Bishop with glistening eyes.
  • The Martin Family disciples were unable to see through the profoundness of that move, but he saw it clearly.
  • That move seemed simple, but it actually utilized a formidable method of force exertion.
  • In the instant that David Bishop swung his fist, the strength of his entire body was perfectly concentrated into a single point.
  • It was a feat that was difficult even for a high grade Yellow Rank martial skill to accomplish.
  • No, perhaps even ordinary Profound Rank martial skills were unable to accomplish such a feat!
  • The martial arts of Cloud Continent were divided into four ranks, from high to low: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow.
  • Every rank of martial skill was further divided into three grades: high, middle and low.
  • In the Martin Family, besides the low grade and middle grade Yellow Rank martial skills placed in the Martial Pavilion, there was only one high grade Yellow Rank martial skill, the Wind Chaser Palm.
  • This martial skill was only permitted to be cultivated by Martin Family martial artists that were at the Core Formation Stage or above.
  • But Liam Martin knew that even if Wind Chaser Palm was mastered, the exertion of force would still be inferior to that move from earlier.
  • “It’s called Collapsing Fist!” said David Bishop, but he did not say anything regarding his time spent cultivating it.
  • How could he say that he cultivated it for over 10 years?
  • Collapsing Fist, one of the Five Elemental Fist moves of Form and Will Boxing, was a type of straight punch.
  • When exerting force, it stressed upon concealing the accumulation of strength and performing an unexpected, swift, and intense attack which penetrated the internal organs. It was a type of fist technique with powerful penetrative capabilities!
  • Collapsing Fist seemed simple, but it actually encompassed the exertion of force of the entire body, including the internal organs.
  • In order to reach the same level of cultivation as David Bishop, it would require at least ten years of hard work.
  • “Fifth Elder, I’m going back home. About the incident today, I’m sure you noticed who provoked who first. I hope you can bear witness on my behalf.”
  • David Bishop nodded toward Liam Martin, turned around, and left.
  • “Collapsing Fist? This kid is extraordinary... Zara Martin, all along, even you were deceived by your son... He’s been concealing his abilities and waiting for the right moment!”
  • Liam Martin took a deep breath and tried to stabilize his agitated mood.
  • He noticed that David Bishop’s Collapsing Fist was not a martial skill that could be cultivated quickly or with ease. He naturally believed that David Bishop was patiently holding back, hiding his strengths and weaknesses.
  • The surrounding Martin Family disciples that were spectating the battle dispersed.
  • They all knew that the terrifying punch David Bishop executed was called Collapsing Fist!
  • “Satisfying!”
  • After arriving back home, David Bishop heaved a sigh of relief as a brief smile appeared on his immature face.
  • Since arriving in this world, this was the first time he executed Form and Will Boxing without restraint!
  • In that moment, he felt like he had gone back to his previous life, one that was full of excitement and bloodshed.
  • David Bishop returned to his room and noticed that the remaining Seven Treasures Body Tempering Liquid was only enough for two more medicinal baths.
  • “Seems like I need to ask mom to buy me more medicinal herbs.”
  • Sitting in the bath barrel, he cultivated Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique while enjoying the medicinal bath. David Bishop cultivated intently, but little did he know that, because of his victory against Sam Martin, there was a great disturbance in the once tranquil Martin Family.
  • “Hey! Have you heard? Ninth Elder’s son David Bishop completed his body tempering and has stepped into level one of Body Tempering Stage!”
  • “Pfftt! I knew that long ago. Do you know that David Bishop not only stepped into level one of Body Tempering Stage, he even severely injured Sam Martin during a public battle that was witnessed by the Fifth Elder; he even crippled one of Sam Martin’s arms!”
  • “Really? Sam Martin is already at level two of Body Tempering Stage, and he even cultivated the low grade Yellow Rank martial skill Fierce Tiger Fist to the Initial Stage. Don’t tell me he couldn’t even beat a mere first level of Body Tempering Stage martial artist like David Bishop?”
  • “Fierce Tiger Fist is useless! David Bishop’s Collapsing Fist is seemingly simple, but it has actually been stripped of all extravagances and returned to simplicity... Now that is formidable! Even Fifth Elder expressed admiration towards it...”
  • ......
  • The effects of David Bishop’s Collapsing Fist became more and more exaggerated as the news spread.
  • Some Martin Family disciples proclaimed it to be a Profound Rank martial skill, some proclaimed it to be an Earth Rank martial skill, and some even proclaimed that David Bishop’s Collapsing Fist was a Heaven Rank martial skill!
  • Within a room in a large courtyard of the Martin Family Estate...
  • Seventh Elder Kun Martin stood beside the bed, looking at the broken shoulder of his son who was so exhausted that he fell asleep.
  • In his ears, the voice of the Grand Elder was still ringing, “Seventh Elder, if it was just an ordinary cracked or broken bone then consuming a Grade Nine Gold Injury Pill and getting some rest would be enough to heal the injury. But your son Sam Martin’s shoulder blade has been totally shattered... Even if you can get a Grade Eight Gold Injury Pill from the Patriarch, it would make no difference... You have my condolences.”
  • “David Bishop, I want you dead... You must die!!”
  • Kun Martin’s eyes opened wide and radiated a light of hatred as he gnashed his teeth and clenched his fists; Origin Energy bursted forth as he growled and roared.
  • “Dad, how is my little brother?”
  • Just at this moment, a hurried voice sounded from outside, as a figure rushed in the room.
  • This person was Leo Martin, the eldest son of Seventh Elder and a famous genius martial artist of the Martin Family.
  • He stepped into the fourth level of Body Tempering Stage at the age of sixteen, and he even mastered the middle grade Yellow Rank martial skill Falling Leaf Palm.
  • Martin Family disciples were considered adults at the age of sixteen.
  • After the coming of age ceremony, they would usually be sent to help at one of the Martin Family businesses in Fresh Breeze Town, and even Leo Martin was not exempted from these duties.
  • He rushed home when he heard that his little brother Sam Martin had been severely injured.
  • Kun Martin took a deep breath, and said in an extremely heavy voice, “Leo, your little brother... his right shoulder is crippled... Even Grand Elder is unable to do anything.”
  • “What?!”
  • Leo Martin’s body trembled, as if struck by lightning.
  • The Grand Elder of the Martin Family was a famous Grade Nine Alchemist in the entire Fresh Breeze Town! Even Grand Elder was unable to treat his little brother’s injuries. He was clear as to what this implied.
  • “Sam Martin...”
  • Standing at the side of the bed and gazing at the soundly asleep Sam Martin, Leo Martin’s eyes opened wide and radiated a light of hatred not one bit less than Kun Martin!
  • His mother died while giving birth to this little brother. He doted dearly upon his little brother all these years... Whether it was food or toys, he would always give priority to his little brother.
  • But now, his little brother’s right shoulder was crippled, and his future ruined. Leo Martin’s heart was filled with rage!
  • “Dad, are you sure it was David Bishop?” Leo Martin asked while looking at Kun Martin.
  • When he initially heard about this incident, besides being worried for his little brother Sam Martin, he felt a sense of disbelief... How could a piece of trash that couldn’t even complete body tempering be capable of severely injuring his little brother?
  • “Yes, I talked with Fifth Elder. It was David Bishop! Three days ago, that piece of trash hadn’t even completed body tempering, but who could have known that today he had not only stepped into the first level of Body Tempering Stage, but also defeated your little brother. He even allegedly used a high ranked Martial Skill called Collapsing Fist!” Kun Martin gnashed his teeth while saying.
  • “Level one of Body Tempering Stage; Collapsing Fist, huh?”
  • Leo Martin laughed coldly, his gaze like that of a poisonous snake, “Father, follow me!”
  • In a quiet courtyard.
  • “Mom, you sent for me. Did something happen?” David Bishop, who just walked out of his room after he finished absorbing the Seven Treasures Body Tempering Liquid, looked at his mother Zara Martin with a slightly embarrassed expression.
  • Zara Martin gazed at her son in a slightly absentminded manner.
  • She still could not believe what she had heard earlier.
  • As far as she was concerned, her son being able to complete his body tempering and step into the first level of the Body Tempering Stage was a difficult feat. But this kid... With just one trip to the Martial Pavilion, he crippled the arm of Seventh Elder’s youngest son and even handed him an untreatable injury!
  • “Collapsing Fist... David, shouldn’t you explain to Mom when you learned a martial skill that even Fifth Elder would exclaim in admiration at?
  • Zara Martin looked at David Bishop with a faint smile.
  • “Mom, if I told you that when the old man taught me the medicinal formula he taught me this fist technique as well, would you believe me?”
  • David Bishop had an embarrassed smile.
  • “David, you’re all grown up... Since you have secrets that you’re unable to disclose, Mom won’t force you. But you have to remember, no matter when and no matter what happens, Mom will always be there for you!”
  • Zara Martin glanced deeply at David Bishop, sighing faintly.
  • “Mom.”
  • David Bishop’s heart trembled, his eyes slightly red.
  • Just at this moment, a voice that was disgusting as a fly, broke the warm atmosphere between mother and son. “Ninth Elder, Kun Martin requests for an audience!”
  • “He still dares to come here?”
  • Zara Martin’s eyes flashed with a cold light.
  • In the next moment, Seventh Elder Kun Martin and his eldest son, Leo Martin, walked into the courtyard, while glaring hatefully at David Bishop.
  • “Seventh Elder, you didn’t come here on purpose just to make trouble for my son right?” Zara Martin took a step forward, shielding David Bishop behind her, and lightly smiled.
  • “Ninth Elder be at ease... The battle between your son, David Bishop, and my son, Sam Martin, was witnessed by Fifth Elder. His arm being crippled is a consequence of his inferior skill; he can’t resent anyone but himself.”
  • Kun Martin took a deep breath as he repressed the rage in his heart.
  • “Then, Seventh Elder came here for...?”
  • Zara Martin became curious after hearing what Kun Martin said.
  • “Greetings Ninth Elder,” Leo Martin, who was beside Kun Martin, stood out and said.
  • After greeting Zara Martin, Leo Martin’s eyes sparkled as he glanced at David Bishop.
  • “Ninth Elder, my father followed me here... The reason I came here is to challenge David Bishop. I heard his Collapsing Fist is extremely formidable.”
  • Hearing what he had to say, Zara Martin’s expression turned icy cold.
  • “Leo Martin, if memory serves me right, you’re one year older than my son and have already stepped into the fourth level of Body Tempering Stage, while my son is only at the first level of Body Tempering Stage... Aren’t you ashamed of yourself for challenging him?” Zara Martin glanced at Leo Martin and said indifferently.
  • “Ninth Elder, David Bishop is no ordinary first level of Body Tempering Stage martial artist. He easily defeated my little brother, and his strength is formidable!”
  • Leo Martin smiled, as if he didn’t notice Zara Martin’s face turning cold.
  • Just when Zara Martin was about to harshly see her visitors out, David Bishop walked out from behind her.
  • “I can accept your challenge, but I have one condition!”
