"What did he do?"
Though Fang Mingyu had only retreated half a step, everyone in the Fang family was stunned — Fang Xiaotian most of all.
Who in the entire Fang family didn't know how formidable Fang Mingyu was? Even the old patriarch had once declared him a genius rarely seen in the Fang family in a hundred years, the strongest of their younger generation.
Before he had even achieved perfection in his Vajra Body, he had already been unmatched in all of Fenglin City. Afterward he had gone abroad to train, and now that he had returned with his Vajra Body perfected, his strength was monstrous beyond measure.
Yet now Fang Mingyu had struck and failed to do a thing to Shi Feng — if anything, he had come out worse for the exchange. How could anyone not be shocked?
Meanwhile, Lei Bao was watching with his jaw on the floor.
He knew that Shi Feng had reached the Hua Jin Grandmaster realm, but Shi Feng had only just entered it. The true power of a Hua Jin Grandmaster lay in the activation of the brain, which enhanced all aspects of one's abilities — especially physical attributes. However, this required the various hormones secreted by the brain to undergo prolonged transformation. It was not something that happened overnight.
Fang Mingyu possessed a perfected Vajra Body, his strength monstrous enough to make him a walking humanoid disaster. Most Grandmasters probably couldn't measure up, let alone Shi Feng, who had only just stepped into the realm.
And yet in a head-on clash, Shi Feng had actually won. It was simply unbelievable.
"You really do have some skill, kid — you actually caught the opening the instant I committed my force and used it against me." Fang Mingyu's brow furrowed slightly, and he grasped what had happened right away. "But I won't give you another chance!"
With that, Fang Mingyu threw a punch.
The punch contained no tricks whatsoever — just a plain, straightforward straight right, textbook in its form, even more technically perfect than something out of an instruction manual.
And precisely because it was so simple, even a Hua Jin Grandmaster wouldn't be able to find the slightest opening in it.
The force behind the punch was enough to make even Lei Bao, standing off to the side, react with visible alarm.
Facing this punch, Lei Bao felt as though the very momentum of heaven and earth was bearing down on him — there was nowhere to dodge, no flaw to exploit, nothing to do but meet it head-on.
And when the punch was thrown, he heard no sound at all. That meant it had already exceeded the speed of sound. Combined with that kind of savage, overwhelming force, it could probably kill an elephant on the spot.
The punch was about to blow Shi Feng's head apart, but Shi Feng moved first — despite being the one who reacted later, his body surged forward on its own. His footwork shifted to the side, and like a butterfly, he brushed past Fang Mingyu's fist and appeared at Fang Mingyu's flank, causing the punch to strike nothing but empty air.
As Shi Feng materialized at Fang Mingyu's side, he swung his arm and drove his palm straight into Fang Mingyu's chest, pressing downward without hesitation. Fang Mingyu instantly lost his balance, his entire body tilting toward the ground under the force of Shi Feng's palm.
Boom!
It was as if a brown bear had toppled to the ground — Fang Mingyu lay sprawled across the floor, the marble tiles cracking inch by inch beneath his weight. The entire room shuddered from the impact, and Fang Mingyu's head was spinning, his internal organs churning in turmoil.
From a distance, it looked as though Shi Feng had simply materialized at Fang Mingyu's side, seized the giant, and slammed him straight into the floor.
The entire hall fell deathly silent!
"So this is how powerful a Transforming Force Grandmaster really is?" Lei Bao stared at Fang Mingyu lying on the ground, unable to find the right words.
He had seen every move Shi Feng made, yet such simple actions now carried an almost miraculous quality in Shi Feng's hands — not only had he effortlessly neutralized that terrifying punch, but he had reversed the momentum and pinned Fang Mingyu to the floor with a single palm strike.
A peak expert of the Vajra Indestructible Body, utterly helpless before a Transforming Force Grandmaster — Lei Bao could no longer even imagine just how powerful a Transforming Force Grandmaster truly was.
