Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1188 - 1186: Collective Outburst

But soon, everyone dismissed the idea, as a twelve-year-old Transcendent Realm Expert had never appeared in the Hidden World before, so Xia Jianping couldn’t possibly be one either. Everyone was once again confused, unable to understand why Xia Jianping would do such a thing.

In an instant, Kong Shen had already closed in on Xia Jianping, hurling his fists, which seemed like massive iron hammers, towards Xia Jianping at an indescribable speed. All that could be seen were two faint shadows, accompanied by a roaring sound, shooting towards Xia Jianping, as if intent on tearing him apart!

Just as the fists were about to strike Xia Jianping, Kong Shen felt a surge of pride. He knew full well the power of his punches; even if Xia Jianping were made of iron, he would still be shattered. If Xia Jianping was seeking death, he couldn’t be blamed! With this thought, a ruthless gleam flashed in his eyes.

What’s wrong with Xia Jianping?

Why isn’t he dodging?

How can this child be so reckless!

...

The Xia family members standing not far away were stunned; none of them had expected Xia Jianping to stand his ground and not dodge in the face of Kong Shen’s attack. Wondering what the child was thinking, they knew this was playing with death. They all began to worry for Xia Jianping.

Meanwhile, the young children of the Xia family were all smiling. Xia Jianping was the most powerful among them, capable of slaying even Transcendent Realm Demon Beasts on his own. They thought there was no way anything could go wrong against Kong Shen, so they were not the least bit concerned for Xia Jianping and were waiting for him to quickly deal with Kong Shen.

Indeed, just as the Xia family children had predicted, the unexpected happened just as Kong Shen’s fist was about to hit Xia Jianping!

When Kong Shen’s fist was less than half a meter away from Xia Jianping, Xia Jianping suddenly made a move. To everyone’s surprise, Xia Jianping managed to dodge Kong Shen’s punch—which seemed certain to hit—in an instant and, even more astonishingly, without anyone knowing how it happened, Xia Jianping had already appeared behind Kong Shen!

"Whoosh..."

Without using any Gang Qi, relying solely on physical strength, Xia Jianping threw a punch accompanied by a howling sound of tearing through the air at Kong Shen’s back. Even without Gang Qi, the force of this punch was considerable. It’s not an exaggeration to say that with Xia Jianping’s current physical strength, even a small tree could be broken, let alone the flesh and bones of a person!

This is bad!

Seeing Xia Jianping disappear in front of him in such a strange manner, Kong Shen was immediately stunned, not expecting Xia Jianping to dodge his punch that way. But right after hearing the whistling sound behind him, he realized Xia Jianping had made his move. In a split second, Kong Shen’s face changed drastically, without time to think, he turned and threw a punch filled with Fist Aura!

"Roar!"

The Fist Aura flew towards his back at an unimaginable speed. Undoubtedly, if it connected, Xia Jianping would be seriously injured, but the outcome once again defied Kong Shen’s expectations! As Kong Shen was preparing to hear the sound of Xia Jianping being blown away, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen as if all his organs were shattered!

"Bang! Ah..."

In an instant, before Kong Shen could react, he, like a kite with its string cut, let out a scream and was sent flying dozens of meters away, crashing heavily below the Martial Arts Ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and then he fainted on the spot.

It could be said that until Kong Shen fainted, he remained clueless on how he was hit by Xia Jianping. In the moment before he passed out, his mind was repeating one thought: Impossible, impossible, he is only a Half-Step Transcendent Realm expert, how could he be defeated just like that...

At that moment, the entire venue fell into complete silence. Even other children on the Martial Arts Ground who were in the midst of their bouts stopped and turned to look towards Xia Jianping, who was still standing indifferently on the stage. Everyone was stunned!

How is this possible!

Is this still a child? His strength is way too unbelievable!

When did Xia Jianping of the Xia family become so powerful? This is absolutely inconceivable!

...

The entire audience watched Xia Jianping, all stunned by the strength he demonstrated. Even Kong Shen, at the Half-Step Transcendent Realm, was beaten half to death without even completing a single round. They wondered how Xia Jianping could be so formidable. It was beyond their imagination that someone like Xia Jianping could exist in the Youth Division!

Kong Shen didn’t see how Xia Jianping made his move, but many people outside the ring clearly saw how Kong Shen was sent flying. The speed and strength that Xia Jianping unleashed in the final moment had completely surpassed the standards of the Mortal Realm. It was no exaggeration to say that even experts in the Transcendent Realm might not possess Xia Jianping’s speed and physical power. It was truly inconceivable. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t fathom how an eleven or twelve-year-old child could possess such earth-shattering strength. It was utterly bewildering!

At this moment, everyone participating in the grand competition had the same thought: How did the Xia Family train such monstrous beings? Are these even children anymore? It was absolutely incredible!

"Kong Shen..."

Kong Xiong, the teacher of the Kong Family’s Youth Division, cried out in shock, before he flashed and appeared beside Kong Shen. After checking Kong Shen’s injuries, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He was seething with the urge to rush up and kill Xia Jianping! Kong Shen was his most proud disciple, yet now he had failed like this, suffering serious injuries. He found the outcome unbearable.

But even with the rage in his heart, he did nothing irrational. This was the site of the grand competition, with people from the four Prominent Families and other forces present. If he were to strike at the younger generation, his own life would be over, so he could only give Xia Jianping a cold look, then carried Kong Shen back to the Kong Family’s crowd for treatment, vowing to himself that after the competition, he would definitely deal with Xia Jianping – to dare to beat his disciple to this state was unforgivable!

Xia Jianping on the stage also saw Kong Xiong’s glare but paid it no mind. He waved his hand and walked back to the Xia Family’s crowd, immediately receiving ecstatic praises from the Xia Family.

"Good job, Jianping!"

"I didn’t expect you to be so powerful now!"

"Fantastic, you taught him a good lesson!"

...

The people of the Xia Family were now overjoyed. They couldn’t have imagined that a child from the Youth Division could grow to such an extent. They thought that Lin Feng, that unreliable Mortal, really had a knack for training children. In such a short time, he had already brought Xia Jianping to such a level. To defeat an opponent from the Half-Step Transcendent Realm with such ease showed a truly heaven-defying ability. They couldn’t understand how a Mortal from the Secular World could teach such an incredible disciple!

Xia Jianping only smiled faintly in response to the crowd’s praises and then made his way back to the Youth Division children, walking to Lin Feng’s side and saying indifferently, "Teacher Lin, it’s really quite boring. They are too weak."

Xia Jianping truly found such battles uninteresting, with no challenge at all. Hunting Demon Beasts in the forest was much more exciting; the children from other Prominent Families no longer seemed capable of posing a threat, which was really dull.

Hearing Xia Jianping say this, Lin Feng smiled faintly, patted Xia Jianping on the head, and told him, "It’s natural to feel bored. You are no longer on the same level as the children from other Prominent Families. With an advantage in all aspects, victory is inevitable. But as a member of the Youth Division, you must participate in the grand competition, even if it seems pointless."

"I understand." After hearing Lin Feng’s words, Xia Jianping nodded, briefly replied, and then went off to chat with the other children. He understood Lin Feng’s point. Their strength was indeed far above the others, and victory was normal. There was nothing to boast about. Now, he was just hoping the grand competition would end quickly, so he didn’t have to waste time here.

Then, the competition resumed fervently. The subsequent matches were even easier. When Xia Jianwu took the stage, he met a genius from the Gu Family in the Youth Division and easily defeated him. The other children of the Xia Family also won against their opponents with great ease.

Time flew by swiftly, and before long, the elimination rounds ended, moving into the top thirty-two rankings matches. Considering the list of names for the top thirty-two rankings, everyone besides the Xia Family was left speechless. Within the top thirty-two, apart from the children of the Xia Family, there were two from the Song Family, one from the Gu Family, and only one from the Kong Family.

Soon, the ranking matches began, and just as everyone expected, all were dominated by the children of the Xia Family, leaving their opponents no chance to fight back. The final results left everyone speechless: A child from the Song Family managed to secure tenth, a child from the Gu Family and the Kong Family each got the eighteenth and nineteenth places respectively, and the Song Family claimed the twenty-fifth place in the top thirty.

Seeing such a turn of events, those from the Gu and Kong Families had extremely unpleasant expressions. Nobody anticipated such an outcome in the grand competition, and they were at a loss for words. They were all shocked by the strength exhibited by the children of the Xia Family. No one understood how the Xia Family’s children had become so powerful, winning the matches so easily and effortlessly that their level and depth were unassessable. It was truly astonishing!

Nevertheless, the results stood. No matter what they thought, it would change nothing. The thought made everyone from the other three Prominent Families even more frustrated. They had never encountered such a situation before and were baffled as to why the children of the Xia Family had suddenly burst into such prowess...

On the other hand, the situation for the Song Family was different. Facing the complete outburst of the Xia Family’s children, they still managed to achieve a tenth and a twenty-fifth place. The faces of the Song Family’s members were not as grim because, considering the strength of the Xia Family’s children, attaining such rankings was quite good. At least it was much better than the Gu and Kong Families, and they were content with that.
