My Martial Arts Level Never Drops

Chapter 332: Chapter 166: Fault

”Yes, it must be the Secret Medicine!”

They buzzed with hushed discussion.

”True Essence from the Secret Medicine can’t get him to two hundred meters!”

”He’ll never make it!”

They trembled all over, their eyes glued to him.

True Essence induced by the Secret Medicine had limited potential. Though it was considered a breakthrough past the limits of the Mortal Realm, it was generally impossible to cover a distance of two hundred meters.

Their eyes were fixed on Qin Fang’s every step, hoping he would stop around the two hundred-meter mark. If he did, they could be almost certain he had used a Secret Medicine!

One hundred eighty, one hundred ninety...

Two hundred!

He reached two hundred meters.

But Qin Fang was still walking.

His unhurried pace hadn’t even changed!

A clamor of buzzing discussion rose up.

”Who—who is this guy? So strong! I-I’ve watched several rounds of the Martial Arts Examination, and this is the first time I’ve ever seen someone go this far!”

”I’ve taken the Martial Arts Examination before. At two hundred meters... the great stone on his shoulders already weighs over eleven tons!”

”O-Over eleven tons?”

The crowd of onlookers buzzed with discussion. When someone revealed the weight of the great stone on Qin Fang’s shoulders, they were all dumbfounded...

...Eleven tons? They could hardly even imagine such a weight!

It was completely surreal!

”My—my family’s grinding stone is only about two hundred and twenty pounds, and my brother and I can barely lift it together... Eleven tons?”

’What kind of monster is this?’

Qin Fang could clearly feel the gazes of shock and awe upon him.

A glint flashed in his eyes.

’As long as my Master or any of the others are here, they... should be able to see me now,’ he thought.

Without the slightest pause, he continued forward.

Two hundred ten, two hundred twenty, two hundred thirty...

He was already more than a hundred meters ahead of Duan Ling, who was in second place.

The people on this side were all completely stunned.

”He passed two hundred meters... I-It’s not the Secret Medicine...”

”He... he has genuine True Essence...”

They stared blankly.

”He’s only twenty! H-How did he train to get like this?”

They found it utterly incomprehensible, their eyes filled with bewilderment.

”Even Wu Xueci back in the day... wasn’t this strong...”

Fu Chen said blankly.

He had participated in the examination four years ago.

That year, he had ultimately ranked thirteenth. It was Wu Xueci’s appearance that had shattered his hopes of placing in the top twelve.

And now, another one had appeared... a monster even more terrifying than Wu Xueci!

At twenty, he broke through the Divine Gate and achieved True Essence!

...For a moment, he was at a complete loss.

He himself had reached the Huajin stage at twenty-five, already considered the best of the younger generation in his family—a genius.

But compared to the Qin Fang before him... Him? A genius?

He was utterly lost.

And he wasn’t the only one. The few heirs of the Divine Families nearby who had clashed with Qin Fang were also completely bewildered.

Duan Ling stared intently at Qin Fang, his eyes burning, his entire body trembling.

Meanwhile, Qin Fang was already well on his way to three hundred meters!

Two hundred eighty, two hundred ninety, three hundred...

”He’s at three hundred meters. Can he break Junior Brother Li’s record?”

The great personages on the Haiman cast their gazes down, intrigued.

They could naturally tell that Qin Fang wasn’t using any Secret Medicine.

Now, they were very curious to see if Qin Fang could break Junior Brother Li’s record.

When Qin Fang walked calmly to a distance of three hundred and twenty meters without showing the slightest sign of fatigue,

the expressions of the people on the Haiman began to change, their eyes starting to brighten with surprise...

”He shows no sign of exhaustion at all...”

”This... is he still nowhere near his limit?”

In the blink of an eye, Qin Fang had reached three hundred and thirty meters... breaking Junior Brother Li’s record.

But he was still advancing!

On the Haiman, everyone sucked in a sharp breath.

”What—what kind of foundation is this? So deep? A single breakthrough, and his strength already exceeds sixteen and a half tons?”

”This...”

They all looked at each other in dismay.

...The more profound the foundation, the more terrifying this boy’s Talent!

”Where is his limit?”

someone murmured.

Everyone was staring intently, their curiosity piqued.

Three hundred sixty, three hundred seventy, three hundred eighty...

Four hundred!

Four thirty... four fifty... four eighty...

Five hundred!

”Twenty-seven and a half tons!”

The people on the Haiman were stupefied. This limit had already surpassed that of every first-place winner in the history of the Martial Arts Examination!

Qin Fang alone had walked to the very center of the square... Compared to him, the other participants looked as if they were still standing at the edge, not having moved at all!

Everyone was dumbstruck. They had even forgotten to gasp.

All they could do was gaze at Qin Fang’s distant back.

Five hundred ten, five hundred twenty, five hundred thirty...

Finally, at five hundred and forty meters, the weight reached over thirty tons, and Qin Fang felt his limit approaching.

His muscles began to groan. At this point, the air before him felt as solid as a wall. Every step was incredibly difficult!

A terrifying pressure descended, causing the skin and muscles all over his body to tremble.

His gaze focused. His movements finally began to change. His steps grew heavy...

But over thirty tons was not yet his limit!

Five hundred fifty... five hundred sixty...

Five hundred seventy!

As he stepped onto the five hundred and seventy-meter mark, True Essence began to surge wildly through Qin Fang’s body, creating a gale that blew his hair straight up.

A milky white light enveloped his entire body. His muscles bulged, and veins popped on his forehead and limbs!

He felt that he had finally reached his limit!

After a moment’s thought, he finally tossed the great stone aside. It crashed to the ground with a BOOM.

Qin Fang took a deep breath, and the turbulent True Essence immediately returned obediently to his body.

He closed his eyes and regulated his breathing for a moment. Under the calming influence of his True Essence, the fatigue and trembling in his body vanished.

Then, Qin Fang raised his head and looked up at the Haiman.

His Eye Power was astonishing, and he could see the countless gazes of shock and amazement.

He gave a slight bow, then turned his head back, his gaze calmly falling upon the other participants behind him...

They were hundreds of meters away, staring at him dumbly.

From Qin Fang’s position, they...

looked as if they hadn’t moved at all!

A chasm...

First place!

ROAR!!!

Finally, the entire square descended into a thunderous uproar!
