After uttering those fierce words, Zhou Wu began to hold his breath, concentrating his spiritual energy onto his right fist.
Sensing the aura emanating from him, Wu Tian nodded slightly.
It seemed his guess was correct; this Zhou Wu was indeed a fifth-level spiritual cultivator.
Meanwhile, he wasn't idle either, and soon began to gather his spiritual energy as well.
The two stood seven to eight meters apart, concentrating their energy, neither moving.
The surrounding people watched this scene nervously. Most of them were unaware of the existence of spiritual cultivators, so at this moment, they had no idea what the two were doing.
As Zhou Wu gathered more and more spiritual energy, the aura swirling around him grew increasingly heavy.
Many people, even from a distance, felt a deep pressure.
Suddenly, lightning flashed from Zhou Wu's fist.
He stared at Wu Tian and said, "See this? This isn't the Thunder Fist, but the Lightning Fist from the 'Heavenly Thunder Codex'."
"A spiritual skill like this is already considered a top-tier spiritual skill. You absolutely cannot block it."
Wu Tian remained silent, his eyes flickering with lightning.
His silence led Zhou Wu to believe he was scared, and he couldn't help but feel smug.
After some time, Zhou Wu's Lightning Fist had finished condensing.
He smiled at Wu Tian and said, "My Lightning Fist is ready. How about you? Are you ready to receive the blow?"
Wu Tian could tell that Zhou Wu was holding nothing back, having gathered almost all his spiritual energy.
In response, he couldn't help but think, "What an old scoundrel. If my spiritual energy wasn't as strong as his, I'd be crushed by that move!"
Zhou Wu's ruthless actions made Wu Tian realize the extent to which he needed to go.
He let out a cold laugh and said, "Come on then."
His tone carried three parts calm and seven parts provocation, which instantly enraged Zhou Wu.
He said menacingly, "Even now, you can still laugh? You'll be crying soon!"
After shouting this, Zhou Wu stomped his foot and charged towards Wu Tian, his momentum like swift thunder and fierce wind!
"What a powerful aura!" the disciples exclaimed, deeply shocked by the sight.
In their opinion, if Wu Tian dared to block this attack head-on, he would surely die.
Seeing Zhou Wu's fierce approach, Wu Tian showed no intention of dodging.
Just as Zhou Wu's fist was about to strike him, lightning also burst from his own fist!
The next second, the lightning-wreathed fist collided fiercely with Zhou Wu's fist!
Boom!
With a loud explosion, lightning immediately intertwined between the two.
The lightning soon shot outwards in all directions, scaring the surrounding disciples into scattering and fleeing.
The lightning struck the ground, blasting craters one after another.
Zhou Wu's expression changed drastically at this moment!
"How could this be!" he shouted, his eyes wide.
According to his expectations, Wu Tian should have been finished with this punch!
But how could Wu Tian block it?
And why was Wu Tian's move so strange, almost identical to his Lightning Fist…
As the feeling of disbelief grew stronger, Zhou Wu finally couldn't help but shout, "What is this technique? Why do you also have lightning power?"
Wu Tian said coldly, "Do I need to ask? Because I'm also using the Lightning Fist."
"That's impossible!" Zhou Wu immediately denied upon hearing Wu Tian's words.
He shook his head and said, "How could you know the Lightning Fist? You're lying!"
Wu Tian continued to sneer, "Not only do I know the Lightning Fist, but mine is the most authentic!"
"As for your crippled fighting style, you shouldn't display it to embarrass yourself!"
With that, Wu Tian suddenly increased his spiritual energy.
Instantly, the lightning on his fist became even more intense.
Zhou Wu clearly felt his lightning power being rapidly dismantled!
He was horrified, but at this moment, he could only grit his teeth and endure.
However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not resist the collapse of the situation.
Within seconds, Wu Tian's lightning grew stronger, and his lightning was almost being extinguished by Wu Tian!
At this moment, a roar erupted from Wu Tian's mouth.
He pushed his fist forward, and the terrifying lightning immediately engulfed Zhou Wu.
Zhou Wu let out a piercing scream, was sent flying backward, and then crashed heavily onto the ground.
"Dad!" Zhou Qishi cried out in alarm.
Zhou Wu lay on the ground, unable to get up for a moment.
This was only because Wu Tian had restrained his power at the last moment. Otherwise, given Zhou Wu's age, this move would have been enough to kill him!
Wu Tian walked up to him and said coldly, "You lost."
Zhou Wu looked at Wu Tian in shock, saying in disbelief, "How... how could this be..."
"I... I'm actually not your opponent. How is this possible?"
Wu Tian said coldly, "This is the normal situation, isn't it? If a fifth-level spiritual cultivator could defeat me, a sixth-level spiritual cultivator, wouldn't that be unreasonable?"
"You're a sixth-level spiritual cultivator?!" Zhou Wu was terrified to the point of his liver and gall trembling. "This is impossible! How could you, a junior, have such a high spiritual energy level?"
Wu Tian sneered, "What, you don't believe me? If you don't believe it, then watch carefully."
With that, Wu Tian's expression turned grim, and his immense spiritual energy surged towards Zhou Wu.
At this moment, Zhou Wu felt as if he were being swallowed by a giant wave.
The spiritual energy carried an unstoppable momentum, and he felt almost suffocated.
Wu Tian asked again, "Well, can you tell what my level is now?"
Zhou Wu couldn't discern Wu Tian's level, but that was precisely the most terrifying thing.
If he could discern it, it would mean Wu Tian's spiritual energy was inferior to his.
But if he couldn't, it meant that Wu Tian's spiritual energy level actually surpassed his.
"You... you are truly a sixth-level spiritual cultivator!" Zhou Wu said in shock.
Wu Tian said calmly, "That's right. So, coming to trouble me is probably akin to seeking death."
"Then what about your spiritual skill?" Zhou Wu continued to ask. "You... how do you know the Lightning Fist?"
"Haven't I already answered that question?" Wu Tian said, then suddenly pointed a finger towards the sky!
Instantly, a condensed bolt of lightning shot up from his fingertip and exploded violently in the sky!
Suddenly, the lightning scattered like fireworks!
"My heavens, this, this is... Astonishing Thunder Finger?!" Seeing this, Zhou Wu was completely stunned.
