Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It had to be known that the question which of the three basic force execution methods was stronger was a hot topic that never died down in the world of Dragon City . It attracted countless keyboard warriors to quote authoritative works in their arguments . Ripple Force, Dragon Snake Force, and Reckless Bull Force each had their loyal followers protecting them .

The reason behind it was very simple . Forget about the normal citizens practicing the ultimate divine arts that could only be practiced by people at the level of Battle God Lei Zongchao, they could not even understand the construction plans of the dense spirit energy magnetic fields, so how could they happily argue with each other if that were the case?

So, they could only talk about the three basic force execution methods in their free time .

When Yan Organization stepped forward to endorse the Ultimate Style, the countless loyal fans and anti-fans began to talk about it, and the Ultimate Style’s exposure reached new heights .

Yan Feirou seized this opportunity and stood forward to speak .

The angle she chose for her topic was very ingenious . She did not say anything about the pros and cons of the Ultimate Style, but placed her attention on being against internet violence and condemning heartless ghostwriters .

Yan Feirou stated that she was the third generation successor of the Yan family’s Ripple Force but also a martial arts course student in Dragon City University . She was a proper Overkill Style martial artist, and she did not have the right to talk much about the Ultimate Style, since it had risen to power alone and was a brand new martial arts concept .

But over this period of time, a large number of ghostwriters and anti-fans had criticized and degraded this young martial arts concept which had just been born . Many of the words they used far surpassed the boundaries of normal martial arts inquiries, and as a proper martial artist, she regarded this sort of action with great disdain .

“I have personally experienced just how terrifying internet violence can be . ” Yan Feirou spoke as if she was blaming herself in front of the camera . “A few months ago, I was deceived by people with ulterior motives, and while I did not understand the truth, I recklessly gave immature opinions toward the powerful Demonically Modified Ripple Force . I misled many netizens, and it nearly led to a bad reaction to the Demonically Modified Ripple Force .

“I blame myself for this, and I have reflected on my comments online in the past to figure out whether I have disrespected and overlooked something else even more .

“Now, I’ve sworn to be cautious and open-minded toward all new ideals, new weapons, and new martial arts . I will not be in a hurry to give my first thoughts, and I will not condemn them immediately . Instead, I will give them the chance to grow slowly and gain their glory so that they can have the chance to prove themselves in real combat .

“This is my personal view, and it will naturally not represent all of Overkill Style, but I believe that all of the Overkill Style practitioners are the same as me . They have generous hearts, wise minds, and calm souls . They will not be provoked and will tolerate everything . They will also be willing to receive the challenges from other martial arts styles in real battle . ”

Yan Feirou then apologized sincerely to the netizens in regards to her comments about the Demonically Modified Ripple Force a few months ago .

After that, she pushed this whole matter to new heights by saying, “Over the past twenty years, Dragon City could be said to have lived in a relatively safe age . Spirit energy martial arts and supernatural powers were acquired by multiple households, and they became commercialized in various ways .

“Commercialization in itself isn’t bad, but we should also be tolerant . If we go overboard and operate just to obtain profit, we’ll sink into destructive competition . We will use every method conceivable to criticize our allied martial art styles and business partners, which will lead to the martial arts world and superhuman circle to turn aggressive, and that’s not good .

“This is especially so right now . Dragon City is shifting from tactical defense to tactical offense; we are moving the war outwards . No one knows exactly what awaits us outside in the depths of the fog and the wild . The martial artists of the various sects, the superhumans taking up the various fighting occupations, and the millions of netizens and citizens must be united to fight against our opponents .

“Regardless of whether it is the Overkill Style or the Ultimate Style, both of their targets are the same . They want to use their fists and weapons to ensure that more of their comrades survive!”

Yan Feirou spoke with a strong sense of righteousness, which earned her a lot of support from the netizens .

Even Meng Chao was lost . He was having a hard time believing that most of the ghostwriters who degraded the Ultimate Style in the beginning were actually from the Yan Organization .

The solo act and the accusation of someone else for a crime they committed themselves was just… awesome .

Because of it, even if someone wanted to criticize the Ultimate Style online after this, they would have to think about whether their actions would have reverse effects .

Many of the main practitioners of the other styles also popped up to speak against internet violence .

The first one to take action was a six-star superhuman at the peak of Heaven Realm—Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu .

He used his official social media account to share Yan Feirou’s article and showed his support by voicing his opinion about the matter .

Usually, since Deity Realm elites were the leaders of their own specializations, they did not readily post their opinions online . They also seldom showed up to do any sort of business promotions .

Heaven Realm elites like Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu were the top-class elites that the normal citizens usually saw, so they had countless fans online, and he became the trending topic on the social media platforms .

Once Luo Wu showed up, he also stirred many other powerful fighters to take action . Even though these people spoke from a strategic standpoint and mostly talked about internet violence and how the various martial art styles could engage in a healthy competition so that they could improve together, as the instigator of the entire matter, the Ultimate Style kept appearing before the netizens every day .

As time passed, many people gained the impression that the Ultimate Style was not that weaker than the Overkill Style . It was a martial art style suitable for normal people and low-grade superhumans, which could increase their efficiency in killing normal monsters .

But was the Ultimate Style really only suitable to kill normal monsters?

Late at night in Shattered Starlake, once Meng Chao finished his daily killing of monsters and conducted the academic exchange with students, he stayed in the cultivation room alone and sat in a meditative position . He focused and entered deep meditation .

When the world around him bled away like a fading tide, Kindling would start burning fiercely at the top corner of his field of vision and light up the Black Tortoise Dean Zong Yue left behind in the depths of his mind after the Deity Realm elite branded it on his cerebral cortex .

In an instant, Meng Chao would appear in the world in his mind, and he would enter the battlefield where he fought against the Black Tortoise .

The beast soul was refined and created after Dean Zong Yue killed an Apocalyptic Beast . He extracted its shattered vitality magnetic field and used countless monster souls to refine it, which meant he spent a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to create it .

When Meng Chao faced it, he felt as if he was facing a real Apocalyptic Beast, and the pressure he felt made him feel as if the world had shattered and everything was collapsing around him .

His training encompassed him facing the pressure that came from the feeling of the apocalypse descending on him and using the Ultimate Style to deliver as many slashes as possible before the Black Tortoise killed him with one swipe .

At first, he only managed to deliver nine slashes before he was torn to shreds by the claws of the Black Tortoise .

The mind-numbing pain of it was as great as the torture that came from the mental strength test .

Next time, he delivered twelve slashes before being reduced to mince meat by the Black Tortoise .

On the third day, he lasted twenty-seven seconds and delivered nineteen slashes .

He went through the fourth, the fifth, and the sixth days…

As time passed, gradually, Meng Chao began to be able to fight against the fragmented soul of the Black Tortoise for more than three minutes . While he danced around at high speed, he cut into the Black Tortoise’s shell and the folds where its limbs were connected to its body .

The clash between the brand of the beast soul and memories of his previous life helped Meng Chao increase the Skillfulness of the skills he learned in his previous life .

This unexpected reward was something that even Dean Zong Yue probably did not expect, despite the fact that he was the one who left behind the brand on Meng Chao’s cerebral cortex . Even with the intellect of someone at Deity Realm, he should have estimated that Meng Chao would need at least three years before he could completely break the beast soul brand . Because of that, he would be able to benefit from the Black Tortoise’s fragmented soul throughout his entire university life .

But who would guess that there was a unique fragmented soul residing in the depths of Meng Chao’s mind, and with the strength of two souls, the speed at which he trained his mind would increase to twice that of a normal genius .

Meng Chao knew that the effect which came from the internet fervor created by hiring ghostwriters to direct internet traffic and create discussion was empty, and it came and went very soon .

If the Ultimate Style truly wanted to rise to power, it had to show results before the fervor was gone .

He believed that the day was about to arrive .

At that time, he would not be the only one creating miracles . More Ultimate Style practitioners would create those miracles .

Once the internet fervor reached the east lake base, no matter how fierce the fights were during the day, there were always more than one hundred enthusiasts who came to the cultivation room for the exchange . They sparred there and cultivated .

After the three cultivation cabins customized for the Ultimate Style were shipped to the frontlines on the armored airships, they also became new toys that students lined up to try .

Practically everyone found that after they used gene medicine and bioelectricity to stimulate their 1,024 branch meridians, their senses and fighting endurance increased by a certain degree .

Among them, the ones who improved by ridiculous leaps were Chu Feixiong and Wu Wu .

Ever since he fought against Meng Chao in the cultivation room using Army Fist, Chu Feixiong improved like he was on steroids . He found the correct way to train his heroic spirit, and from then on, he rode on Meng Chao’s coattails every day while causing a ruckus, and he often asked Meng Chao to spar with him .

In the past, Meng Chao quite liked sparring with Chu Feixiong . He could beat up the big white bear until he groaned in pain, and that fair, plump boy weighing more than one hundred kilograms would run all over the place to escape from him .

But after receiving the harsh training from the military school, the big white bear turned into a big black bear, and with the help of a heroic spirit, his fighting spirit and resistance increased . Even if he were beaten up so badly that his parents would not be able to recognize him, he still gritted his teeth and continued . He only stopped once he beat up Meng Chao until he was in the same state as he was .

Meng Chao finally bore witness to how stubborn the legendary Soldier was . He insisted on proving that Meng Chao’s Army Fist was wrong and that being a righteous fist of protection was the true secret behind the Army Fist .

Fortunately, Soldier did not bother Meng Chao for too long .

After just a few days, when they fought using Army Fist at the same speed and strength, Meng Chao could no longer win against Chu Feixiong who was possessed by Soldier .

“Forget about you, even Shao Jianqing is often rendered speechless when she sees my astonishing performance . ”

Chu Feixiong could not help but smile smugly at Meng Chao . “Yesterday, I caught twenty-five Three-eyed Spirit Cats in one go using Army Fist, and you should have seen that woman’s expression . It was really interesting!”
