Chapter 271: Chapter 271

Baru never expected that Zhao Letian, merely a man of the True Martial Seventh Realm, would dare to talk back to him. It was simply a matter of life and death, such an ant he could squash with just a slap.

"What I said, you heard very clearly."

Zhao Letian's body surged with True Yuan power, and his brown beast-skin robe rustled loudly, fearlessly withstanding the oppressive aura from Baru as he coldly spoke.

Baru coldly shouted, taking a step forward, his speed astonishingly fast, instantly arriving in front of Zhao Letian, and smashed down his fist covered with golden Scale Armor without any Primordial Energy fluctuations, intending to kill Zhao Letian directly with just his physical strength.

Zhao Letian snorted coldly, his palm instantly manifesting metallically hard Black Scale Armor without any fear, and he threw a punch upwards.

He also did not utilize his True Yuan power because just with his Physical Strength, his current punch's power was almost comparable to an attacker from the True Martial Ninth Realm.

"Boom!" Chаptеr sоurсе: Мy Virtuаl Librаry Еmpirе (М|V|L4ЕМРYR).

A large gold and a small black, two completely disproportionate fists fiercely collided, causing a terrifying force impact that stirred up a visible sonic boom wave.

The next moment, both were shaken back by the terrifying force transmitted from each other's arms.

However, Baru only took three steps back, while Zhao Letian took five steps back, almost falling off the city wall.

"This is impossible, no one in the True Martial Realm has ever been able to withstand my punch with just their physical power, how did you do it?"

Baru stared fixedly at Zhao Letian, utterly shocked, and asked in disbelief.

Meanwhile, Wanyan Zheng and others were also filled with shock.

They all knew that Baru was naturally divine in strength. Furthermore, he practiced a powerful Body Refining Method; not to mention someone from the True Martial Realm, even people from the Initial Stage of Sect Martial Realm wouldn't stand a chance in a physical strength contest against him.

Yet Zhao Letian, an ant who should have just advanced to the True Martial Seventh Realm, was able to compare physical strength with Baru, and he did not suffer much, which was utterly unbelievable.

"Did Baru not use his full strength? Was that just a casual punch?"

Wanyan Zheng and others wondered in their hearts.

Perhaps, Baru underestimated Zhao Letian too much, using only a small amount of strength, which was why he couldn't kill Zhao Letian with one punch.

However, what they did not know was that Baru indeed underestimated Zhao Letian and indeed did not use full strength, but he had used at least over seventy percent of his power.

In Baru's view, absolutely no one in the True Martial Realm could withstand more than seventy percent of his physical strength, yet unexpectedly, Zhao Letian withstood it.

"There was none before, but now there is, the so-called number one person of the True Martial Realm, is merely this."

Zhao Letian proudly said.

This punch, although he was at a disadvantage and suffered a bit, it would not discourage him.

Because one must know, he was just an underage boy of not even seventeen years old, while that Baru, was at least around thirty years old, nearly twice his age, and had practiced for many more years, but even so, his physical strength was not much less than Baru's.

Even more so, if given another year and a half, surpassing Baru was not impossible.

"Such arrogance, young man, today I shall show you the power of the number one person in the True Martial Realm."

Baru's face turned grim, and a fearsome force of True Yuan suddenly surged out from him. Its intensity far surpassed that of other people at the peak of the True Martial Ninth Realm, sweeping over like a storm in an instant, making it difficult for those around him to breathe as they hurriedly backed away.

Zhao Letian grimaced inwardly, his eyes revealing a solemn look as he too felt his breathing somewhat hindered.

Baru's True Yuan Power was even more terrifying than his Physical Strength.

If True Yuan Power were to be used, Zhao Letian held no advantage, forcing him to focus carefully.

"Baru, stop, today is the Father Monarch's birthday, nobody is allowed to cause trouble."

Just as tensions reached a breaking point between the two, the Princess, wearing a white silk scarf, suddenly frowned slightly and sternly shouted.

However, relying on his overwhelming talent and strength, Baru, habitually arrogant and domineering, did not restrain his True Yuan Power even after hearing the Princess's words, his eyes fixated on Zhao Letian with a cold murderous intent.

Zhao Letian not only dared to talk back to him but also dared to question his status as the top figure in the True Martial Realm. This was an unforgivable offense deserving of death; he was determined to kill Zhao Letian to settle this.

Witnessing this scene, the elderly granny following behind the Princess quietly flashed a cold murderous look in her eyes. She didn't care about someone being the top figure of the True Martial Realm; showing disrespect to the Princess only meant one path — death.

"How audacious! You scoundrel, did you not hear the Princess's words? Stand down now."

At that moment, the Vice Dean of Holy Spirit Academy, dressed in animal skins and with a wild appearance, suddenly frowned and coldly rebuked, his voice booming like thunder, carrying a rhythmic cadence. It not only forcefully dispersed the terrifying True Yuan Power gathered around Baru but also made him pale and retreat repeatedly.

The crowd present was visibly shocked at this scene.

This was indeed the method of a King-level Expert, utterly terrifying. Compared to the people of the True Martial Realm, they were simply not on the same level. Even Baru, touted as the top figure of the True Martial Realm, couldn't withstand a simple remark from a King-level Expert.

In fact, no one doubted that if the Vice Dean of Holy Spirit Academy so wished, he could directly kill Baru with just one sentence.

Zhao Letian was also extremely shocked, unable to help but recall the time in the desert when he encountered those two King-level beasts. Thinking back, his survival from that encounter was purely fortunate. If those two beasts hadn't been locked in a tough fight, with no one free to pursue him, even his blood escape technique might not have saved him.

"This old one has failed to teach properly, I hope the Princess will forgive me."

After repelling Baru, the Vice Dean of Holy Spirit Academy immediately stood up to apologize to the Princess.

Baru was from the Holy Spirit Academy, and being the Vice Dean, it was naturally his responsibility to discipline.

"It's alright, elder, please sit. Wan'er simply did not wish to see anyone ruin Father Monarch's birthday celebration."

The Princess spoke nonchalantly.

"The Princess indeed possesses great forbearance. You scoundrel, come and apologize to the Princess quickly."

The Vice Dean of Holy Spirit Academy smiled slightly before glancing at Baru and coldly rebuked.

"Baru admits his mistake, and begs for the Princess's forgiveness."

Baru bowed deeply as he spoke.

"In the Grey Wolf lands, we naturally value martial prowess, it was merely a sparring among the younger generation. Let's not make a big fuss over it; continue, is there anyone else who wishes to give their blessings to this old man for his birthday?"

Monarch Murong Shengxiong spoke nonchalantly.
