In a Martial World High, There’s a Mystical Great World – Chapter 108

Chapter 108: What a Terrifying Background

It was no wonder that these Innate Realm experts, who were usually so aloof and arrogant, were all reacting so dramatically.

The Fourth Realm was a true legend in the Wu Region.

The strongest individuals in the entire Wu Region were only at the Third Realm, and they were referred to as “Grandmasters.” Each Grandmaster was a powerful figure who could dominate an entire area. It was said that there were fewer than twenty of them in the entire region!

Even among the six major sects, there were only four Grandmasters in total.

The Emperor Sect had two, which was the main reason they were considered the strongest among the six. It was also the source of their confidence, bordering on arrogance.

As for the Fourth Realm…

The last clearly recorded Fourth Realm expert in the Wu Region dated back 1,500 years, to the founding Ancestor Emperor of the Wu Kingdom!

That realm was regarded as a legend, even a myth, by Innate Realm experts!

But now, the scene before them was almost like a myth come to life!

Not to mention them, even the lofty Grandmasters—how many of them had ever witnessed a Fourth Realm expert in person, let alone felt their aura?

Even if it wasn’t the person themselves, the aura couldn’t be faked! Just feeling this vast and profound aura was enough to send shivers down their spines!

They were both fearful and greedy, even fanatical, to experience this!

And what happened next made everyone’s eyes widen even further.

The figure in the crystal pillar actually emitted a deep, resonant voice.

“Shen Xing, watch carefully! If you haven’t mastered this Thunder Flash within half a year, then you’ve been slacking off!”

That’s right, the act had to be complete. This was the voiceover that Shen Xing had specially added!

Before the crowd could even gasp at such an intimate tone, the scene shifted, the camera zoomed out, and the scene that appeared within the pillar caused another wave of gasps to ripple through the crowd.

Because it was a boundless red wasteland! And a massive sandstorm that blotted out the sky and covered the entire world, rolling towards them!

Just this grand scene alone far exceeded the understanding of these so-called Innate Realm experts.

It was something that wouldn’t even appear in their dreams.

In comparison, even the originally imposing figure of the Fourth Realm expert seemed incredibly small.

“A natural disaster, what a terrifying natural disaster!”

An Innate Realm expert was already clenching his fists tightly, his body trembling.

They could tell that this was a recorded image using some kind of technique. But even so, they had never witnessed such a terrifying scene.

If they were in that situation themselves, they could only wait in despair for the vast natural disaster to descend!

They wouldn’t even have the will to resist!

However, the scene shifted again, returning to the expert. Even though they couldn’t see his face, they could clearly see the movement of his hand gripping the long saber.

The moment his hand touched the hilt, Divine Intent, accompanied by faint traces of lightning, appeared.

Then, it suddenly reached its peak!

Boom—!

Without any build-up, without any prior movements, he simply gripped the hilt. Then, thunder roared and lightning flashed, and the entire world was filled with a blinding flash of saber light. An incredibly powerful Divine Intent surged out!

Now, every observer could feel it. This was indeed a powerful Divine Intent Inheritance, and it was only at the First Realm!

But a First Realm Divine Intent Inheritance, combined with the power of the Fourth Realm, was still terrifying beyond imagination.

Everyone’s eyes were wide open. Some were so excited that they started muttering incoherently. Because this slash seemed to tear the entire world in two, splitting the massive storm in half!

The small figure of a person against the vast natural disaster, against the boundless and terrifying saber light… it was a scene that everyone present would remember for the rest of their lives!

“Uh, uh…”

Elder Du couldn’t even control his trembling anymore. The veins on his neck were bulging.

This was the Fourth Realm?

Could the Fourth Realm do something like this?

Even the legendary Ancestor Emperor of the Wu Kingdom couldn’t have been this powerful!

He couldn’t help but recall his earlier thoughts, and he broke out in a cold sweat!

It was as if that world-destroying saber light could descend at any moment, instantly reducing the entire Emperor Sect to ashes!

Yes, Elder Du’s earlier thought was to secretly take back the items he had offered today, along with the treasures offered by others.

In his opinion, a mere Body Tempering Stage martial artist, even with some tricks up his sleeve, how could he possibly defend against a sneak attack by several Innate Realm experts?

But now, his entire back was drenched in cold sweat!

If they had really done that, if they were exposed even slightly, the entire Emperor Sect would face utter destruction!

The reactions of the other Innate Realm experts were not much better.

The way they looked at Shen Xing had completely changed.

If it were just an inheritance, it wouldn’t necessarily mean anything. It could have been passed down from a powerful ancestor, or even obtained from somewhere else.

But everyone had heard it clearly!

This terrifying expert had called out this Young Master Shen’s name before demonstrating the technique!

It was clearly an inheritance prepared specifically for him!

The identity of a “family elder” was undeniable!

What a terrifying family background this was!

Those who could think this far were considered to have some insight. Most of the Body Tempering Stage martial artists were still in a daze, almost screaming.

◈◈◈

The scene was simply too shocking!

A single person directly overcoming a natural disaster beyond imagination. This stark contrast fully demonstrated the terrifying power of this expert!

With their strength and status, how could they have the honor of witnessing such a scene?

And Shen Xing was naturally very satisfied with this effect.

That’s right, this was what he wanted.

It was worth it that he had carefully selected a projection of a Fourth Realm peak expert demonstrating a martial arts intent on Mars.

You know, the gravity on Mars is lower. Although Martian sandstorms look scary, their power is actually far less than that of sandstorms on the home planet with the same visual scale. Even this crystal was different—this special material could display the martial arts intent of a strong person more clearly.

In addition, the martial artists of the Human Federation were inherently much stronger than those here.

A Fourth Realm expert here would appear to be almost at the Fifth Realm!

All in all, the shock value was practically maxed out!

Even he, when he first saw this projection, was somewhat amazed by the power of a Fourth Realm expert, let alone these people?

Just looking at their reactions, it was clear that the effect was excellent.

Seeing that the demonstration in the image had ended and returned to the beginning, Shen Xing paused it. He glanced at everyone who was still immersed in the shock, and said, “This Divine Intent Inheritance was given to me by an elder in my family before I left. I have now spent several months mastering it.”

As he spoke, he raised the long saber in his hand and slashed it through the air!

Thunder roared and lightning flashed.

Although he hadn’t actually mastered it yet, combined with his Space power, he could already unleash a power that even exceeded the level of complete mastery. Many of the Innate Realm experts present couldn’t help but shrink their pupils and gape, their gazes towards Shen Xing undergoing a drastic change.

They could naturally tell how powerful this slash was.

No one below the Innate Realm could block it!

And the Divine Intent was indeed the one demonstrated by the Fourth Realm expert earlier!

“Several months, several months…” An Innate Realm expert muttered these words repeatedly, his expression seemingly frozen in shock, completely numb.

If it were their prodigies, it would be considered good if they could even grasp the basics of this level of Divine Intent Inheritance. To achieve minor completion within a few years would already be considered monstrous.

But this, mastery in half a year?

Even with such a powerful method of transmitting the Divine Intent Inheritance, it was still far beyond imagination.

If it wasn’t happening right before their eyes, everyone would have dismissed it as a ridiculous joke.

This, this was a true prodigy from the Outer Region!

Some of the young people who had come along had even come to terms with it. They looked at Shen Xing with nothing but awe, because the gap between him and them was so large that they couldn’t even muster any envy.

“How is it?” Shen Xing spoke again, his tone indifferent. “Anyone interested?”

This question finally brought some people back to their senses.

“Young Master Shen,” an Innate Realm expert spoke first, his tone filled with obvious respect. “Are you really going to auction this off? This is your family’s inheritance…”

“It’s just a Body Tempering Stage inheritance,” Shen Xing said nonchalantly. He seemed to think of something and chuckled softly. “If someone can achieve minor completion within half a year, they might be qualified to follow me as an attendant. I might even consider nurturing them a little.”

These words instantly made the eyes of many young Body Tempering Stage martial artists light up with desire.

Now, no one could doubt his astonishing background!

Didn’t you see that even such a terrifying Fourth Realm expert had specially demonstrated a Divine Intent Inheritance for him, creating such a powerful inheritance artifact!

Even just being a retainer, being able to receive a little bit of nurturing, would be an unimaginable opportunity!

Perhaps, in the future, they could even follow the young master back. That would be like ascending to heaven in a single step, with a limitless future!

At least, Jiang Mei, who was also watching from below, was clenching her fists tightly, staring at the crystal pillar, her breathing heavy!

Achieving minor completion in half a year was undoubtedly extremely difficult. But if there was a chance, she would give it her all!

And Manager Yi also noticed his grand-disciple’s emotional state.

Unlike other sects and forces who might be worried about their disciples’ attitudes, he supported it, even strongly supported it.

If he could really get his grand-disciple, or someone else, to serve this Young Master Shen… just that favor alone would be incredible!

He suddenly had an idea.

He glanced at the others and stepped forward.

“Young Master Shen,” Manager Yi said, his tone also filled with obvious respect. “If Young Master Shen wants to use this to select talents, why not operate it on a rental basis?”

“Hmm?” Shen Xing raised an eyebrow. “How would that work?”

“It’s very simple,” Manager Yi said with a warm smile. “Our Spring Rain Trading Company can set up a special area and invite talented individuals from all over to pay to learn. Firstly, it would allow everyone to witness the vast power of your family’s elder. Secondly, it would allow you to collect some trivial resources. Thirdly, it would allow you to select your attendants. I believe the people of our Wu Region will not disappoint you.”
