Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups Chapter 1400 - 676_2

Jiang Chen rose to his full height from the ruins.

The bronze armor that accompanied his thousand-year slumber was now damaged in several places, with cracked pieces clanking noisily on his body.

At this moment, the ancient corpse’s body was torn in many places, with the right shoulder showing a terrifying indentation, several sharp white bones breaking through the flesh and directly exposed to the air.

However, before others could feel shocked, a dense sound of bones reconnecting came from within his body.

Countless dark red fleshy buds, like countless thread-like worms, frantically interwove and writhed at the wound.

In just the span of two breaths, the severely collapsed scapula swelled and restored as if inflated.

Xu Hao, hiding in the distance, couldn’t help but gulp as he watched this scene, secretly gritting his teeth:

"This old monster’s recovery power is simply unreasonable; I don’t know if the boss can withstand it..."

"Mere mortals..."

Jiang Chen slowly twisted his neck, his cervical vertebrae making a tooth-grating crackling sound.

The eye sockets, glowing with a ghostly green light, locked firmly onto the young man ahead, his tone cold and condescending:

"I indeed underestimated you just now; being able to train your body to such an extent, you are now qualified to witness the terrifying strength of my true form—"

Before he finished speaking, the air where Jiang Chen stood suddenly rippled like water, his massive body vanishing into thin air.

Fang Cheng did not hesitate, his right foot suddenly gripping the ground, his leg muscles swelling instantly, pushing backward with force.

Just as he left the spot, the stone slabs he was standing on a moment ago let out a thunderous boom.

Four menacing Bone Spurs drove down from the void like heavy pile drivers,

Causing the ground to collapse into a bottomless pit several meters in diameter with spiderweb-like cracks spreading madly in all directions.

Missing the strike, half of Jiang Chen’s body emerged from the air ripples, a trace of ferocity flashing across his rigid face.

Seeing this human react as quickly as a flea, dodging the deadly assault once again.

He let out a cold snort, space around him fluctuating once more, continuing the pursuit with Instant Step.

This time, Fang Cheng did not choose to evade.

His heel crushed the stone slabs suddenly, his hips sinking, and he charged head-on into the black streak coming at him.

Two ferocious forces collided violently in mid-air.

The air was instantly compressed and exploded, bursting into a circle of visible white shockwaves.

The sweeping gales flattened the remaining courtyard walls, sending shards of stone into the sky, which were then ground into dust by the turbulent energy.

At the center of the blast, Fang Cheng’s arm muscles bulged, his hands clamping down onto two incoming Bone Spurs like iron tongs.

Simultaneously, a dazzling golden ring expanded across his body surface, blocking two other Bone Spurs attacking from the side.

The sharp tips of the Bone Spurs violently rubbed against the True Qi Shield, sparking a shower of blinding fireworks.

"How about it? How’s my speed? Not worse than yours, right?"

Jiang Chen pulled a cruel smirk at the corner of his mouth, attempting to increase his strength to crush his opponent.

Fang Cheng had no intention of responding, his gaze icy, using the twisting power of his waist and abdomen for his right leg.

With a "pop," he launched into the air, tearing through the atmosphere, kicking straight towards Jiang Chen’s exposed abdomen.

Scenes of being kicked away and in a miserable state flashed through Jiang Chen’s mind instantly.

He flinched, not daring to take it head-on.

Bone Spurs retracted sharply, using the momentum to sway backward, his form melding into the air ripples again, pulling away as if teleporting.

On the edge of the battlefield, the surviving onlookers felt their scalps tingle, an unspeakable fear filling their hearts.

With their vision, they could no longer capture the direction of the battle.

This fight seemed to have no physical form.

Only a golden streak and a dark cyan mass clashed wildly in the air.

Appearing and disappearing, flying into the air, then crashing to the ground.

Each collision sent Gang Wind slashing like sharp blades across nearby walls, carving crisscrossing fractures.

The continuous booms resembled a full-field bombardment by heavy artillery.

Shaking the remaining roof tiles of the ancestral hall into a continuous fall, the entire building tottering on the verge of collapse.

Xu Hao lay in a corner of the ruins, covering his ears with both hands.

Even so, the high-frequency sonic booms still made his eardrums hurt intensely.

Supervisor Wu supported Qian Dongming, the two of them scrambling and crawling to the shelter of a broken wall, their bodies tightly curled into a ball.

A piece of rubble, launched by the shockwave, brushed past Qian Dongming’s ear with a whistle and directly blew half the head off the stone lion behind him.

Covered with shards of rubble, Qian Dongming let out a shrill scream.

Not only them, but the surviving villagers also frantically searched for cover like headless flies, hoping to survive the disaster-like battle.

In midair, Jiang Chen once again vanished using space ripples.

In the next moment, a sense of mortal danger exploded behind Fang Cheng.

Four sharp Bone Spurs tore through the air, carrying an ear-piercing screech, targeted at his unguarded rear head.

This strike was completely hidden in the visual blind spot, its timing was extremely cunning and vicious.

Even if the nerves of many top experts could react, their body’s inertia would never allow them to complete evasive actions in midair.

However, Fang Cheng’s body, suspended in air, defied physical laws and forcibly twisted at an incredible angle.

He did not choose to evade but instead sunk his shoulder and withdrew his elbow, the muscles of his entire right arm suddenly tightened like steel cables, rapidly swelling.

A strength of eighty points was transmitted from the waist, through each vertebra, erupting backwards like a volcano via a punch.

Boom!

A powerful spinning cannon fist struck directly at the intersection of Jiang Chen’s thrusting Bone Spurs.

The ferocious impact penetrated the bones straight into the organs, and Jiang Chen’s massive body immediately flew backward like a cut kite.

Fang Cheng executed a Kestrel Flip, similarly being knocked backward by the immense counterforce.

But as soon as his feet touched the ground, he exerted force to crush the blue bricks underfoot, and his entire body shot into the sky like a cannonball, rushing straight towards the retreating Jiang Chen.

He seemingly required no buffer or adjustment time whatsoever.

Still flying in midair, Jiang Chen noticed the situation, his eyes revealing slight astonishment before a hint of ridicule flashed through them.

Still competing for speed?

His mind shifted, and he instantly activated Instant Step, disappearing in an instant.

Watching the target vanish, Fang Cheng did not pounce into the empty space.

In his sonic speed state, he abruptly thrust his foot against a broken supporting pillar, twisting his ankle fiercely to forcibly change his sprint trajectory.

Instead of pursuing where Jiang Chen disappeared, he directly swung his fist at an empty space over ten meters to the right, delivering a full-powered punch.

As the fist tore through the air, a subtle ripple appeared in that void.

Just finishing the Instant Step, Jiang Chen’s half-revealed figure faced the terrifying kinetic energy of the Iron Fist, even without seeing the surrounding scenery.

Dong—

The fist collided fiercely with Jiang Chen’s hurriedly crossed Bone Spurs, erupting with a sound like morning bells and evening drums.

This time, Jiang Chen was beaten out of the void.

His body shook violently, his feet carving deep furrows into the ground, before barely halting by crushing seven or eight blue bricks.

For the first time, the stiff face that had been lifeless for two thousand years showed unmistakable horror:

"You understand Space Technique? You actually predicted this king’s Instant Step landing point?!"

Fang Cheng landed steadily, lightly flicking his wrist, golden flames ascended and burnt away a trace of Corpse Qi clinging to his knuckles.

"Predicting your landing point, is it that hard?"

Jiang Chen stared intently at him, attempting to find traces of space fluctuations on his body.

Fang Cheng grinned:

"I owe it to Cheng Jiashu for truthfully telling me all about the principles and flaws in your Cheng Family’s bloodline abilities."

Upon hearing this, the green flames in Jiang Chen’s eye sockets flared sharply, and his withered face twisted violently with rage.

"That unfilial descendant betraying his own family, if this king catches him, I’ll surely wrench his soul and refine his spirit!"

Jiang Chen roared skyward, the air around vibrating humming from the sound waves.

Fang Cheng stood fearless, his arm muscles bulging, assuming a tightly guarded combat posture.

Ready to face a new round of fierce clashes at any moment.

Meanwhile, outside the Inner World, in Ancient Locust Village.

A tall figure in a black suit slowly approached, appearing at the village entrance.
