Physical Strength - 369

When Pangu first saw Zhou Fan gesturing for him to come over, he became nervous. It was clear just by looking at his face.

As he flew over, his face slowly changed until it seemed ready. He had not fought in a long time, causing him to get used to peace.

He had needed to close his eyes and remember the past before he returned to his old self.

Soon, he entered the battle area. Without hesitation, his body expanded.

It instantly reached the size of a planet, before expanding even further.

Eventually he reached the size of multiple solar systems put together. Even Zhou Fan was impressed.

The solar systems he was referring to were solar systems that had been expanded due to his mortal dao. Otherwise, his size may reach a hundredth of a normal galaxy.

Pangu grabbed his axe that had grown with him and covered it in sky Qi.

"Skybreaker." He shouted as his axe fell down immediately.

Zhou Fan observed his axe as it fell down. It was an attack much different than before. The last time he had seen it, Pangu had yet to even enter the inner world realm.

Now that he had, Skybreaker seemed much stronger. It even incorporated the power of space as it slashed down.

Zhou Fan could not help but re-evaluate his impression of Pangu.

'He holds a lot more potential than I had believed.' He thought to himself as a sword appeared in his hand.

Sword Qi covered his sword and he slashed it upwards. 

Pangu's axe and the sword met in a cross section, similar to an X. Surprisingly, Pangu's axe easily shattered the sword Qi and continued downward.

When Zhou Fan's slash of sword Qi was slashed through, the fragments of it suddenly pieced back together and continued forward. 

Pangu's axe would hit Zhou Fan first, but Pangu's eyes would suffer damage.

Pangu's mind moved as fast as it could, analyzing the possibilities of the battle. He then suddenly remembered the battle between Zhou Fan, Feng Liu, and Lu Zhong.

At the moment that everything clicked, Zhou Fan appeared in Pangu's hands, and Pangu's axe appeared where Zhou Fan had stood.

"It takes a lot more effort to replace something so big, but it is not too hard for me." He casually said as his sword Qi nearly blinded Pangu.

Pangu fell back while covering his eyes with one hand, and bringing his axe towards him with another.

Unfortunately, Zhou Fan had no plans of going easy on him. He raised his hands in the air and formed a long sword of Day Qi, Night Qi, and Sword Qi.

The sword extended in the air until it was even bigger in size than Pangu, though it was still as thin as a normal sword.

"Daynight Sword slash." Zhou Fan said as the sword fell down onto Pangu. 

The arm covering his eyes was slashed through and his head was nearly cut through, before he instantly appeared away. Zhou Fan had saved his life.

"Finally." Zhou Fan said as he increased his cultivation to match Ying Xiongs and turned towards him. "It's your turn."

Ying Xiong flew over with his hands behind his back. At the moment that he entered the battle area, he instantly activated his divine physique and used all of his stacking powers to produce a cosmic buddha's palm.

Zhou Fan watched it fly towards and applauded.

"You never disappoint. Even now, you've increased in power. In fact, this attack has nearly reached the god realm in terms of power. Unfortunately, the power of the god realm is not so easily achieved." Zhou Fan said.

He then disappeared and reappeared near Ying Xiong. He had not used replacement, but had simply teleported.

He smacked towards Ying Xiong, but Ying Xiong had disappeared, reappearing not too far from Zhou Fan.

"I expected nothing less. Few have the talent to master teleportation." Zhou Fan said.

Although he had mastered teleportation long ago, when he was very weak, it was not a simple thing to do. Teleportation was one of the most complicated techniques in the universe, and very few people could ever learn it.

Usually, even the most simple requirement was a space Qi affinity, which was extremely rare. Ying Xiong did not have such an affinity, but managed to master teleportation regardless.

"Even you can underestimate someone." Ying Xiong said before smashing down with the buddha's palm.

Zhou Fan attempted to teleport away, but it felt as if a pair of hands were holding him down, stopping him.

"Space Lock." Ying Xiong said, arrogance appearing on his face.

Zhou Fan was impressed once again. Not only had he mastered teleportation, but he had also learned a way to prevent teleportation.

Zhou Fan was getting excited. Nobody besides Ying Xiong could possibly give him a good fight.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Fan decided to go all out, excluding the offensive and defensive use of Chaos Qi and his divine physique.

"Don't disappoint me." Zhou Fan said as his hands moved together.

"Chaos Qi Technique: Anti Qi Zone." Zhou Fan said.

Suddenly, all of the Qi within the designated battlefield dispersed, including Ying Xiong's attack. Qi simply stopped being present.

Ying Xiong looked at Zhou Fan with solemnity and surprise.

Cultivators, no matter how strong, would always cover their body with Qi for the purpose of lightening themselves.

Otherwise, their sheer weight would be too much for their surroundings to handle.

Even Zhou Fan had done this long ago, and had rarely removed the Qi since.

For many cultivators, and even Zhou Fan, this became an instinct. Even when using every last drop of Qi, a cultivator would naturally ignore the Qi which was lightening themselves, especially since the amount was so little.

Now, however, both Ying Xiong's and Zhou Fan's Qi were trapped within their bodies, unable to be used in any way, including lightening themselves. Their true physical strengths were revealed. 

How could a cultivator possibly have a weak body? It never stopped getting stronger, but 99% of cultivators completely ignored it.

In an instant, Zhou Fan and Ying Xiong blurred, their fists meeting in between where they had stood.
