Is he so confident, that he's certain he won't encounter any bottlenecks in the future?

"What do you want to exchange for this Breakthrough Pill?" Guan Hongluan immediately spoke up, eager to buy it.

The Breakthrough Pill, which can only be obtained by breaking a record, is far more valuable than her Nine Yang True Pill, especially for someone like her who struggles with cultivating a powerful, vigorous technique. It's almost certain that after the Five Realms, every step will be a hurdle...

If she could have a Breakthrough Pill at her disposal, then breaking through to the Sixth Realm would be much easier.

Upon seeing the Commandery Princess speak, although no one dared to interrupt, they all silently watched Chen Ku, hoping that what he wanted might be something they could provide.

"To be honest, I've taken a liking to something in Martial Arts Heaven and Earth, but unfortunately, I don't have enough Martial Destiny, so I'm specifically taking out this Breakthrough Pill."

Chen Ku didn't say much else, he just stated:

"Therefore, this Breakthrough Pill is for exchange for Martial Destiny. If any of you present is willing to buy it at the imperial price of at least thirty thousand Martial Destiny, then this Breakthrough Pill will belong to you."

"Thirty thousand Martial Destiny." For a moment, many people around were slightly stunned.

Especially those like Di Jianqing, Fu Huangfei. They had gone to Martial Arts Heaven and Earth and, although they had passed the arena, at most they only managed to accumulate around seven or eight thousand Martial Destiny in three days.

Thirty thousand...

They simply couldn't afford it.

Guan Hongluan hadn't stayed long in the Martial Temple, nor had she slain many demons, which is why she only had about ten thousand Martial Destiny. But even if she didn't have it, the Marquis Mansion could get the Martial Destiny through its influence, so she immediately said:

"I want this pill, but I need a little time to gather the Martial Destiny."

If Chen Ku wanted money, she could produce any amount on the spot, but Martial Destiny is a bit tricky.

"As long as the Commandery Princess has said the word, I'll keep this Breakthrough Pill, but..."

Chen Ku smiled and looked at the others, saying:

"I can't guarantee it will be reserved for the Commandery Princess. If anyone can first gather thirty thousand Martial Destiny, I must sell it to them."

Guan Hongluan didn't speak, planning to have someone gather some Martial Destiny as soon as the banquet was over.

Just then.

A loud laugh was heard.

"Chen Ku, I'm late!"

A booming voice, like thunder, came from the lower floor of Fragrance Pavilion:

"Come down, young master wants to have a three-hundred-round fight with you."

Everyone at the banquet frowned immediately.

But several people recognized the voice of the newcomer as Pei Qingzhi.

Chen Ku rose upon hearing and walked to the window.

There, on the bluestone street below, stood a lanky youth with broad shoulders, sunken cheeks, and yellow hair. He was carrying two large hammers on his shoulder, looking up at the second-floor window of the Fragrance Pavilion.

It was indeed Pei Qingzhi.

Upon seeing Chen Ku appear at the window, he bared his teeth in a grin, pointing the hammer at Chen Ku on the second floor, and said:

"Chen Ku, aren't you coming down to spar with me?"

"Pei Qingzhi."

Chen Ku looked at the foremost young powerhouse of Qiu Dragon Mansion, and softly said:

"Did you misunderstand something? I invited you here just to attend the banquet, not intending to spar with you."

The others present, upon hearing this, also went to the window.

After seeing Pei Qingzhi's stance, they all glanced back at Chen Ku and thought to themselves:

"This Pei Qingzhi, along with that Dugu Wuer, are both martial arts madmen. Chen Ku's performance in the martial test has been witnessed by all, clearly outshining everyone. These two just can't wait to face him..."

"Still, one does wonder, is there a chance for Chen Ku and Pei Qingzhi to determine who's superior?"

"If they really fight, who will win?"

"Hard to say. After all, Chen Ku has only shown the skill of engraving words with his fingers. No one has seen his performance in Martial Arts Heaven and Earth, so it's difficult to evaluate."

"But Pei Qingzhi's ferocity is well recognized."

......

Pei Qingzhi stood on the street, watching Chen Ku respond with an expressionless face from the second floor, spat on the ground, and shouted:

"Damn it, are you a man or not? There's no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Although there wasn't a ranking in this test, everyone knows your performance was the best. I've never been overshadowed by anyone, and are you not coming down?!"

By the end of his words, he was slightly crazed, a hint of ferocity in his eyes.

Chen Ku softly said, "What if I say I don't want to fight you?"

"Hey!"

Pei Qingzhi's eyes gleamed with a beastly light, lifting his two hammers, he said:

"Then I'll smash this building and force you down!"

"Pei Qingzhi!"

At this moment, Guan Hongluan also walked to the door, frowning, and said:

"Don't be so rude, the Commandery Princess is here!"

Unexpectedly, when Pei Qingzhi saw her, his joy increased further, laughing heartily, "You're here? Even better, once I hammer down Chen Ku, I'll try your Guan Family's Dragon Subduing Refining God Sword!"

With that,

He pointed a hammer towards Chen Ku:

"I'll count three, two, one!"

"Wait, this is my friend's place. If you damage it, it'll be my fault."

Chen Ku calmly said:

"I'll come down."

As his words fell, he flipped over like a bird and landed steadily on the long street.

At this moment.

Everyone from the surrounding shops of Fragrance Pavilion noticed the two people in the center of the street. For many in Baojiao County, Chen Ku was already well known.

Especially since Chen Ku had previously brought honor to Baojiao County, thoroughly humbling the arrogance of the outsider.

Now, seeing someone clearly provoking Chen Ku, who was in front of the Martial Temple that day.

Some locals of the county called out from a distance:

"Mr. Chen, give that outsider brat a good beating and make Baojiao County proud!"

"Young Shopkeeper Chen, hit him!"

Chen Ku listened to these words and couldn't help but look over.

Mr. Chen?

When did he become a 'Mister'?

Wasn't this title reserved for his master, Yang Luochen?

Upon hearing this, a fierce light flashed in Pei Qingzhi's eyes. He turned to look, immediately frightening those shouting locals back into the corners.

And then.

"Chen Ku."

He turned back to Chen Ku, baring his teeth in a grin:

"Don't let your people down."

As soon as he finished speaking, he fiercely swung over a hundred hammers towards Chen Ku's position.

He didn't mind that Chen Ku was unarmed, knowing that Chen Ku had a storage bag.

Bang!

As Pei Qingzhi made his move, a domineering aura rippled out from beneath him like waves, instantly causing the banners on both sides of the street to flutter!

The terrifying inner qi shook the second floor, causing the windows to rattle loudly.

"This Pei Qingzhi, going all out from the start!"

Guan Hongluan, who had just broken through the Five Realms, was the highest in cultivation among those present. She immediately saw that Pei Qingzhi's attack was wielding at least the Power of Three Dragons, fitting his bold yet meticulous nature and not underestimating Chen Ku.

Immediately, on the street.

Rumble!

The sky was filled with hammer shadows, crashing through the air currents, with a thunderous sound echoing for miles, waking many people on this street from their sleep!

Fragrance Pavilion was near the City God Temple.

At this moment, even the City God Lord Duan Mingbi in the City God Temple suddenly looked up towards Fragrance Pavilion:

"Such intense momentum? Was it Yang Luochen, or someone else?"

He could sense with his Divine Soul that the person behind such a powerful aura was at least as strong as the Fifth Realm.

And Baojiao County had only two martial practitioners at the Fifth Realm level, Shangguan Yun and Yang Luochen.

"This Pei Qingzhi, I've heard that even at a young age he could defeat many senior figures from the Qiu Dragon Mansion, just with this one hammer..." Di Jianqing saw Pei Qingzhi's hammer shadows and the violent wind pulling out hurricanes, sweeping the bluestone slabs from half of the street where Chen Ku stood, with bricks and wooden boards whistling.

Such terror, such cruelty!

If a master uses a weapon, its might is more than ten times greater!

Even if he possessed Divine Power and wielded dual hammers, he felt like a mere junior in front of Pei Qingzhi's dual hammers.

Witnessing this scene, Di Jianqing's heart raced.

"I have no doubt now that Pei Qingzhi could kill someone in the Fifth Realm as easily as swatting a fly with his Fourth Realm strength."

Facing Pei Qingzhi's full force hammer, even Guan Hongluan, who had broken through to the Fifth Realm, felt she had to avoid its edge.

"Seeking a fight."

Facing the sky-covering hammer shadows, Chen Ku did not dodge or defend, merely turned his right hand which hung at his side, a faint golden light shimmering over his entire body, and clenched his five fingers into a fist.

A punch was thrown!

Instantly, under the changed expressions of Guan Hongluan and all the young masters on the second floor, Chen Ku's punch met the giant hammer of Pei Qingzhi.

Bare-handed, meeting the Famous Weapon Level White Tiger Bright Silver Hammer.

The result was...

Fist and hammer collided mid-air with a bang.

Chen Ku's fist remained unharmed, glowing with golden light, backed by a powerful Fifth Realm aura and the internal Power of Four Dragons, causing the entire sky to ripple like water, spreading waves in all directions.

Clang!

Pei Qingzhi suddenly changed color, feeling as if his big hammer had hit a diamond, and the back of his dual hammers was struck by a force strong enough to overturn everything.

Even his Power of Three Dragons couldn't suppress it.

"What?"

In another instant, as Pei Qingzhi's face changed drastically, Chen Ku's punch sent his dual hammers flying high up, and he himself was sent sailing through the air like a ragdoll, soaring three to four meters high...

And then, he crashed heavily to the ground.

In an instant, all the young talents from Qiu Dragon Mansion on the second floor held their breath.

Guan Hongluan's eyes were filled with uncontainable shock:

"This Chen Ku, is he even human?"

Punch press famous weapon?

What kind of physique does he have?
