The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1024 - Chapter 1024 Chapter 1023 Challenge All Talents

Chapter 1024: Chapter 1023: Challenge All Talents? Chapter 1024: Chapter 1023: Challenge All Talents? The girl’s figure was so fast it defied imagination!

Shen Fan’s movement technique and swordsmanship were already extremely fast, but at this moment, the girl seemed to be playing with Shen Fan, consistently one step faster than him with every move, leading him by a step every time.

Under such circumstances, Shen Fan was completely at a disadvantage, the kind that involved a thorough suppression.

Shen Fan’s heart raced with fear. He prided himself on his high proficiency in speed, and among the young talents of the Nine Countries, there were hardly a few who could compete with him in that aspect.

Yet, the young girl before his eyes, appearing so young, possessed such terrifying speed that it was unimaginable.

Shen Fan knew that if things continued this way, he would be forced into an even more passive situation and must curb the girl’s frightening speed.

Instantly, Shen Fan stood firm, planning to counter all changes by not changing at all, and swung his longsword at the girl.

A suffocatingly bright sword light streaked out at a rapid speed, and although the girl tried to dodge, she couldn’t shake off the pursuit of the sword light.

“Can you catch me?” The girl let out a laugh, her figure flitting about, and even though the sword light was always in close pursuit, it was completely toyed with, never even grazing her.

Shen Fan’s Spirit Eye opened on his forehead as he tried to use the power of his spirit eyes to constrain the girl’s speed, which was indeed the correct approach. Many martial artists would use the power of spirit eyes to suppress the speed of a fast opponent.

But when the Spirit Eye opened, Shen Fan was shocked to find that his power of spirit eyes had no effect on the girl whatsoever.

“No way! Her Spirit Eye seems to be stronger than Shen Fan’s!” someone exclaimed in astonishment, noticing the nuances.

Indeed, some had realized this long before, given that many of those present had extraordinary vision and could not have missed it.

“Is it approaching the level of the Heavenly Eye?” Fang Lin narrowed his eyes slightly as he observed the girl’s wavering and elusive figure.

Eventually, the sword Qi dissipated without catching the girl.

“Sigh, this is boring.” The girl sighed lightly, and with a wave of her hands, pillars of water rose from the sea’s surface.

The water pillars surged skyward, gradually forming into a finger.

A finger entirely condensed from seawater!

It was crystal clear and highly condensed, the size of an ordinary human finger but formed from a massive amount of seawater.

Whoosh!!!

The finger tore through the air, and in an instant, it was upon Shen Fan.

Shen Fan didn’t dodge, for there was simply no way to avoid it, and he had to face it with all his strength.

With a cold shout, he swung his longsword, and the blade shone brightly, as Shen Fan had already activated the power contained within the sword.

The longsword struck the oncoming finger hard, and immediately a loud bang resonated, causing the ears of many lesser-cultivated people in Sea Moon City to buzz.

Water exploded, and Shen Fan staggered backward, his complexion somewhat pale. Although he had blocked the finger, he too had been impacted. Even though the injury wasn’t serious, he was nevertheless hurt.

“Not over yet? Don’t be careless,” the girl’s voice sounded, tinged with a hint of playfulness.

Shen Fan’s expression changed when he saw that the myriad water droplets didn’t fall but instead hung in mid-air.

Countless water pillars, densely packed, formed a continuous array, each droplet suspended, seemingly controlled by some force.

The next moment, droplets came at Shen Fan like raindrops, each one seemingly containing immense power.

Shen Fan slapped his Nine Palace Bag, and a piece of emerald green stone flew out.

As soon as the emerald stone appeared, it seemed to possess an attraction as all the droplets originally heading towards Shen Fan were redirected towards the green stone.

The green stone, too, was quite peculiar. As droplets continued to enter it, there was no change whatsoever, as if the stone itself was made of water.

This scene caused many to be secretly amazed, suggesting that the one-armed man Shen Fan had quite a few impressive treasures on him.

“This stone is interesting, like something from the deep sea.” The girl had appeared behind Shen Fan at some point, craning her neck curiously as she observed the green stone.

Shen Fan turned and struck with his sword, the longsword flying from his hand with a dazzling light, alongside a momentum that seemed to stake victory on this one strike.

But this strike was casually kicked back by the girl with a light foot.

This scene stunned Shen Fan. What was going on? He believed the power of his sword was unbeatable by anyone of the same realm, so how could this young girl, with the mere flick of her leg, kick it back? Could her foot possibly be harder than a divine weapon?

But upon closer inspection, one could see that the girl’s kick was not casual at all. Powerful forces roiled around her right foot, with unique and mysterious symbols from the Confucian school emerging.

Confucian ultimate technique! Heaven Step!

Inside Sea Moon City, only a few people such as the Pingbei King knew that the technique the girl used was the Confucian ultimate technique, the Heaven Step.

The previous stomp that had crossed the seas and threatened to level Sea Moon City was also the Confucian martial arts technique, Heaven Step.

Though the Heaven Step executed by the girl didn’t match the power of the mysterious expert from the Seven Seas, her realm’s application still easily broke through Shen Fan’s decisive sword strike.

This demonstrated the strength and impressiveness of this martial arts technique.

Shen Fan caught the longsword, which had been kicked back to him, with a very unpleasant expression. He now understood that he was no match for the girl–their realms might be similar, but her strength was undeniably on a different level.

“Any more powerful people from the Nine Countries? Why not come at me all at once, save me the trouble of picking you out one by one,” the girl didn’t attack Shen Fan again but instead looked toward Sea Moon City and made her challenge.

As soon as this was said, the people inside Sea Moon City were boiling with rage, even the most temperate among them felt they couldn’t stand it anymore.

What was this? Was she planning to challenge all the prodigies inside Sea Moon City by herself? Even if she was impressive, it wasn’t to such an exaggerated extent–this was nothing short of looking down on them, right?

Even Fang Lin was taken aback by the girl’s bold words. He admitted the girl was very strong, stronger than Shen Fan, but to claim she would challenge all the prodigies of Sea Moon City was a bit too much.

“You’re far too presumptuous,” Shen Fan coldly said, anger in his heart and wanting to compete with the girl once more.

The girl had an innocent look on her face, “I really do want to challenge all of you. If you think you’re capable, then come forward.”

“So arrogant!”

“She infuriates me–”

“Who can punish this insolent girl?”

“It’s infuriating!”

****

The people inside Sea Moon City were furious, speaking out loudly.
