Eternal Blood Emperor-Chapter 31: Terrifying Power

Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Terrifying Power
As Zhao Ting’s words fell, everyone fell into silence.
However, the young juniors present all looked displeased, but dared not retort.
Not to mention Zhao Ting being a guest of the Marquis’s Mansion, her own identity alone was enough to make them wary.
The Royal City is the largest and most prosperous city in the East Victory Kingdom, where martial arts thrive the most. Even Southern Prefecture City is far inferior, let alone their Wuyi County City.
Even if Zhao Ting came from an average family in the Royal City, she wasn’t someone they could easily provoke.
"Alright, then let me give it a try too."
Wang Ruolin nodded with a smile and immediately walked up to the Barbarian Bull Drum, raised his fist, and punched out instantly.
"Dong, dong... dong!"
The consecutive thirteen drumbeats left everyone in complete shock.
Generally, each level increase in the Middle Stage of the Energy-Introducing Realm increases by the power of two oxen, and at the Fifth Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm, one can possess the power of nine oxen.
Yet Wang Ruolin possessed the power of thirteen oxen, more than even a typical Sixth Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm, showcasing extraordinary talent.
"Oh my, the power of thirteen oxen, Master Four’s strength is probably not far from the Seventh Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm!"
"The Yellow Level Ninth Grade Bloodline Power is truly extraordinary."
The crowd exclaimed repeatedly, their faces filled with shock.
"Marquis, has the Fourth Young Master joined any sect?"
Gao Hongbo looked at Wang Minghan with an intrigued gaze and asked.
"Elder Gao, Lin’Er said he has already joined the Cloud Heaven Sect."
Upon hearing this, Wang Minghan could not help but show a hint of pride, and spoke.
"What... Cloud Heaven Sect?"
Gao Hongbo’s expression changed slightly, then he shook his head bitterly.
Although Cloud Heaven Sect and Cyan Luo Sect are both among the Nine Great Sects of the East Victory Kingdom, their strength is far beyond what Cyan Luo Sect can compare to.
The Nine Great Sects are divided into the Upper Three Sects, Middle Three Valleys, and Lower Three Sects. His Cyan Luo Sect belongs to one of the Lower Three Sects, while Cloud Heaven Sect is one of the Upper Three Sects, on a completely different level.
If Wang Ruolin had joined the other two sects, he might have had confidence in recruiting, but people from Cloud Heaven Sect, he could never recruit, nor did he dare.
"Brother Lin, you’re amazing."
Zhao Ting smiled sweetly at Wang Ruolin and said.
"This merely tests physical strength. True combat is not just about comparing strength, so it doesn’t have much significance."
Wang Ruolin smiled slightly and replied.
"Indeed, only those who haven’t seen the world would make a fuss about this."
Zhao Ting cast a contemptuous glance at the others and said.
Upon hearing Zhao Ting’s words, the young people all showed expressions of displeasure. Zhao Ting was indeed beautiful and had a noble status, but her words carried a sense of superiority that was very off-putting.
Wang Ruoxie also felt speechless, this woman was just from a family in the Royal City, yet so arrogant; he didn’t know where her sense of superiority came from. Even in his previous life as the Celestial Prince, he had never been like this.
Afterwards, Wang Ruochi, Wang Xiufen, and Luo Yuxiu also went forward to test, and the drum sounds matched their cultivation realms. Although not stunning, it proved their progress.
Next, it was Wang Ruoxie’s turn.
"Seventh Brother, since you’ve broken through to the Third Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm, with your Innate Divine Power, you should possess more than the power of five oxen."
Wang Ruokun sneered and spoke.
"I’ve long heard the Seventh Young Master has Innate Divine Power, able to hunt Tier Two Low Level Demon Beasts at the Eighth Layer of the Body Tempering Realm. If he has truly broken through to the Third Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm, his physical strength would certainly be terrifying."
"It’s just a pity, the Seventh Young Master has not awakened his Bloodline Power. Ordinary Martial Cultivators, no matter how strong, are far inferior to Bloodline Martial Cultivators."
"Regardless, for him to reach the Third Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm shows that his Sea of Qi wasn’t crippled, and that’s already a great fortune for him."
...
The surrounding people whispered, all focusing their eyes on Wang Ruoxie, waiting for his performance.
At this moment, Luo Yuxiu felt the most complex emotions. She never expected that the once weak Wang Ruoxie would not only suddenly become a different person, cold and distant to her, even writing a letter of separation, but also make rapid progress in martial arts.
During the previous hunting tournament, Wang Ruoxie’s performance had already deeply shocked her. Today, it made her heart tremble incessantly. The gap between the Body Tempering Realm and the Energy-Introducing Realm was like that of clouds and mud.
Unable to step into the Energy-Introducing Realm, Wang Ruoxie would always be an ordinary person, a worm in the mud. But if he broke through to the Energy-Introducing Realm, he could touch true martial arts, cultivate cultivation and martial techniques, wield treasures, and could potentially ascend to even higher levels, like a dragon in the clouds.
In that moment, Luo Yuxiu couldn’t help but feel a twinge of regret.
"The Seventh Young Master is truly a dragon among men. If these people knew the Seventh Young Master could concoct Divine Grade elixirs, I wonder what expressions they would have."
Ling Xiang in the crowd looked at Wang Ruoxie with bright eyes, a faint smile on her face, and she too eagerly anticipated Wang Ruoxie’s stellar performance in martial arts.
Wang Ruoxie ignored Wang Ruokun, paid no mind to the whispers around him, and didn’t even glance at Luo Yuxiu.
He stepped forward to the Barbarian Bull Drum, slowly punched out, seemingly just lightly pressing on the drum.
"What’s he doing?"
"Could it be he just has some special treasure allowing him to release Energy-Introducing Realm Third Layer aura without actually breaking through?"
The crowd was filled with perplexed looks.
"I said long ago, he’s just putting on an act."
Wang Ruokun sneered.
But at this moment, a wave suddenly surged from the Barbarian Bull Drum.
"Dong, dong... dong!"
The consecutive fifteen drumbeats rolled out, echoing through the entire area.
"This... how is it possible?"
The smile on Wang Ruokun’s face froze, his eyes filled with disbelief.
How could he accept this result; just moments ago, he was claiming Wang Ruoxie was pretending, yet now the latter displayed strength far surpassing his, as if giving him a slap in the face in front of everyone.
The onlookers’ gazes all froze as well, everyone was dumbfounded, feeling that what was happening before their eyes was somewhat unreal.
Even Wang Minghan, Gao Hongbo, and high-level figures of various major forces were stunned.
The strength Wang Ruoxie displayed was not just that of the Third Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm. The Barbarian Bull Drum’s fifteen beats indicated he had the power of fifteen oxen.
One should know that even at the Late Stage of the Energy-Introducing Realm, each minor realm increase only adds the power of three oxen.
Yet Wang Ruoxie, at the age of sixteen, having broken through to the Third Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm, had already shocked everyone, and possessing physical strength surpassing the Seventh Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm made him a true prodigy.
"How is his strength so terrifying... Is his cultivation really at the Third Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm?"
Luo Yuxiu’s face was extremely pale, her gaze fixed intently on Wang Ruoxie.
It’s fair to say, with that single punch, Wang Ruoxie completely shattered the last sliver of luck in her heart.
