The Threat of the Bandits

After leaving the cave, Xia Ping found an empty space nearby.

"Let's see how strong my body is first."

Xia Ping stood on the empty ground and casually clenched his fist. His muscles trembled, and it seemed as if the air was crackling. It was as if even the air was being crushed by his fist.

With a loud bang, he threw a punch into the distance. producing an explosive airflow that sounded like thunder.

"My strength has indeed reached more than 20,000 kilograms." Xia Ping's eyes revealed a glimmer of light. He felt that all his muscles were like steel, every inch was filled with explosive power.

Even if his internal organs were extremely powerful, just a slight breath of air would cause a gale. A light punch would be able to pierce through a wall, and nothing could stop it.

"Try practicing the Five Forms Fist."

Xia Ping's silhouette flickered as he began to move as he pleased. His spiritual energy had greatly increased, and his control over his own strength seemed to have increased as well.

This feeling was as if his spiritual force had permeated every cell, allowing him to control them at will.

Bang bang bang!!!

In the blink of an eye, he began to perform the Five Forms Fist—the Tiger Fist, Leopard Fist, Dragon Fist, Crane Fist, Snake Fist, and so on.He executed marvelous footwork while throwing out countless punches in the air.

Faint images of fierce tigers, cheetahs, dragons, white cranes, vipers, and so on appeared in the air. The void roared, emitting a fierce aura. Explosions sounded in the air.

Any one of his punches was twice as powerful as before.

Even though the Five-Form Fist was only a basic fist technique, it had already reached the apex of perfection. Adding on Xia Pingwu's strength as an eighth-stage Heavenly Layer Martial Apprentice, it was enough to tear apart a monster and shatter the earth.

"Hu!"

By the time Xia Ping finished practicing the Five Forms Fist, the surrounding area was already a mess. There were holes in the ground, and the surrounding rocks were crushed into pieces.

It was as if he had been ravaged by fierce artillery fire, which was extremely terrifying.

"As one would expect, the higher the realm you reach, the stronger you become."And the further one goes, the greater the difference. "It is naturally harder to break through." Xia Ping sighed.

Although there was only a difference of one realm between the Seventh and Eighth stage Heavenly Layer Martial Apprentice, the difference in strength was huge. It was even greater than the gap between the Sixth and Seventh stage Heavenly Layer Martial Apprentice.

In fact, if one reached the Ninth stage Heavenly Layer Martial Apprentice realm, one would be able to connect nine meridians, combine them into one, and merge them into one. One's strength would become even more terrifying, and the number of True Qi would increase exponentially.

However, it was even more difficult to break through. Some people might not be able to advance from the eighth layer to the ninth layer after spending more than ten years.

"However, after consuming three Scarlet Blood Fruits, the energy within my body has been greatly increased, which saves me the effort of accumulating true energy." "I don't need to slowly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth." Xia Ping clenched his fists. "As long as I can completely refine the energy within the Scarlet Blood Fruits, then advancing to the ninth stage Heavenly Layer Martial Apprentice will be a matter of course."

This was the benefit of a heaven-and-earth treasure. Obtaining one was enough to save ordinary martial arts experts more than ten years of effort. This was also why so many martial artists yearned to obtain it.

"Xia Ping, where are you?"

Suddenly, Jiang Yaru's voice came from the cave. She seemed very anxious.

"Hmm?" Xia Ping's figure flashed, and he immediately returned from the flat ground. With a few leaps, he arrived in front of the cave and saw Jiang Yaru and the others appearing in the cave.

"What's wrong? "What's the matter?" Xia Ping looked at Jiang Yaru and the others. They were already fully dressed, but their faces revealed a grave expression, as if something big had happened.

Jiang Yaru said in a low voice, "Just now, Xiaoqin and the others went out to hunt ferocious beasts. They wanted to prepare breakfast for today, but along the way, they found this thing in the forest.

She pulled out a piece of bark that seemed to have words written on it.

Xia Ping took a closer look and read, "Contact us at noon.", come to the central mountain range of Beast Island quickly. Otherwise, your classmates and other students will be slaughtered one by one. "If you are late by one minute, you will be killed."

These words revealed dense killing intent, making one's heart palpitate.

"The bark is everywhere in the forest, almost all around Beast Island," Chu Rong guessed. "Maybe those bandits couldn't find you and used such dirty methods to force you out."

All the girls were furious. These criminals were really despicable. They couldn't find their whereabouts, yet they used such dirty methods. Did they think they would commit crimes just like that?

It was easy to imagine that once they appeared in the central mountain range of Beast Island, they would be surrounded and attacked by the bandits. At that time, they would be hunted down and killed without a burial site.

"Xia Ping, ignore those criminals' requests."

Roland said solemnly, "Anyway, the teachers will be back in their spaceships in two days." "When the martial artists arrive, these bandits will definitely die without a burial place, and none of them will be able to escape."

"Now they're more anxious than we are."

However, there were also some girls who fell silent. If they didn't appear, the other students would be dead for sure. However, they weren't so noble as to throw their lives away for the other students.

Xia Ping, on the other hand, had a strange look on his face. These bandits were really stupid. They thought that they could force him to come up with such a method. If those bandits had caught someone they were familiar with, they might really have been forced to go over.

However, the students hated him to the core. How could he go and save them?! There was no benefit in saving them anyway, so he might as well let them kill the students.

However, his hands were itching now. He wanted to test his skills. Perhaps these criminals were the best targets.

"You guys hide for now. "I'll play with those bandits," Xia Ping said to Jiang Yaru and the others.

Jiang Yaru was shocked. "Do you really want to go alone?" This is a trap. Don't be silly. Once you go there, you will definitely be surrounded by those bandits."

"That's right. We can't go over. "We need to know our limits," Chu Rong said in a low voice. "If we know that we're going to die, we're not heroes. "We're just idiots."

"No, no, no."

Xia Ping waved his hand. "I don't plan to fall into those bandits' trap. I just don't want to wait two days. I want to eliminate those bandits right now.

"Those criminals will be an eyesore if they continue to live."

How annoying!

Jiang Yaru and the others looked at Xia Ping speechlessly.

"What do you want to do?" Chu Rong asked curiously.

Xia Ping smiled mysteriously. "We need to find a communicator to contact those criminals first. Of course, we need to find a good place. I'm going to give them a big gift this time."
