One punch landed.
Ning Tian checked the mission reward card.
[Mastering the Fist: !]
"Four thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine punches are still needed, but it should be soon."
Ning Tian murmured to himself.
He glanced at the group of disciples in the square, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
Immediately, he looked at the elder lying on the ground not far away, looking like he had died tragically, and couldn't help but glare at him with annoyance.
"Stop pretending to be dead. I used all my strength. I won't die."
He's not dead?
The group of disciples were stunned for a moment.
Sure enough, the elder who had been lying on the ground scratched his head and got up.
"Cough cough."
"Master, I'm just playing along with your act."
The elder coughed lightly, his face stern, and said seriously.
"Forget it, just pretend you don't see it." Ning Tian glanced at him indifferently, then said, "Take a look and see if there are any changes in your understanding of the Dao."
"Comprehension of the Dao?"
Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder was taken aback.
Immediately, he closed his eyes slightly and subtly sensed the surroundings.
On the Heavenly Demon Grand Plaza, Elder Qingye and a group of Heavenly Demon Sect disciples and Yaochi Holy Land disciples all looked at the Grand Elder with some doubt.
The patriarch suddenly punched the Grand Elder, once again showing him his understanding of the Dao.
Could it be that there is some necessary connection between the two?
After a while.
"Holy crap!"
Suddenly, the elder opened his tightly closed eyes, a sharp light flashing in them, clearly very excited!
"My swordsmanship, which I've stagnated for hundreds of years, has actually improved!?"
Um?
How could a skill that hadn't progressed even a fraction in a century suddenly improve at this moment?
The disciples were all stunned for a moment, then reacted, and with smiles on their faces, they all looked at the Grand Elder and congratulated him, saying, "Congratulations, Grand Elder!"
"Congratulations."
Elder Qingye smiled slightly.
The Grand Elder was immersed in this joy when he suddenly realized something and looked at Ning Tian sharply: "Ancestor, after that punch landed on me just now, I sensed a trace of sword intent flowing through me."
"Could it be that it was that punch from the patriarch that elevated my swordsmanship?!"
"Exactly."
Ning Tian nodded with a smile, neither denying it nor offering any explanation.
Then, he glanced calmly at the group of disciples and said, "That punch just now was called the Enlightenment Fist, which I, the founder, created myself. Not only will you not die from that punch, but you will also improve your comprehension."
"There are only 4,999 spots left."
"What!?"
Upon hearing this, Elder Qingye was dumbfounded, as were the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Yaochi Sect behind him.
If I punch you, you'll understand and improve?
this……
It's not just outrageous, it's downright defying the heavens!
"Is this the person chosen by the Holy Lord? He is indeed ridiculously powerful!" Elder Qingye stared intently at Ning Tian.
At that moment, she suddenly understood why the Queen Mother of the West trusted her ancestor so much.
The patriarch was not only a great emperor himself, but he could also inspire others to cultivate!
You've astonished a group of disciples!
[Reward: Spiritual Energy Cultivation +5000!]
As soon as the system finished speaking, Ning Tian's spiritual energy surged slightly.
"Anyone want to give it a try?" Ning Tian looked at the group of disciples, a smile playing on his lips.
"..."
After these words were spoken, a long silence fell over the Heavenly Demon Grand Plaza.
But the peace was soon shattered.
One of the disciples shouted, "Master, I'm itching for a beating!"
Soon, more and more disciples realized what was happening.
"Master, I'm telling you against my conscience, you're really ugly, please, come and hit me!"
"I beg for a hammer!"
"I'm online, begging to be proven wrong!"
"Grandmaster, please, please smash me to death!"
Throughout the entire Heavenly Demon Plaza, many disciples were wailing in pain.
Their eyes gleamed with a sharp light. It was a request that sounded very strange, but now they spoke of it with such frankness.
After all, who wouldn't want to improve their understanding by taking a punch?
It's like, if getting beaten up could make me stronger, then sorry, please just kill me.
"Master, my health is still quite good. If you don't mind, please give me a punch."
Elder Qingye said earnestly from the side.
"Don't worry, take your time, we have plenty of punches to throw."
Ning Tian smiled. At this rate, the five thousand punches would be over soon.
"Come on, line up, one at a time."
Next, the disciples lined up obediently, and then the sounds of fists landing echoed across the Heavenly Demon Plaza.
Many disciples passed by and, seeing these disciples being beaten by their patriarch, assumed they had done something wrong.
But once they understood, they were instantly excited and obediently lined up in a queue.
Soon, sounds of pain and joy rang out across the Heavenly Demon Plaza.
"I've broken through!"
"It hurts a little, but it's worth it!"
"Hahaha!"
"My understanding of the Dao has also broken through! The Ancestral Master's fist is simply awesome!"
Meanwhile, the scores on the mental scoring panel in Ning Tian's mind began to fluctuate.
Four thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight.
Four thousand nine hundred and ninety-five.
four thousand……
The commotion drew the attention of many disciples and elders, who stared wide-eyed at the scene, inwardly exclaiming in disbelief.
The patriarch was simply divine! Truly worthy of being called an eternal god!
Soon, the news spread throughout the entire Heavenly Demon Sect.
"By taking a punch from the patriarch, one's understanding of the Dao can reach a hundred levels!"
In the study of the Heavenly Demon Palace, Luo Wuqing put down what she was doing, revealing a hint of weariness. She stretched, her long dress perfectly outlining her slender curves.
Immediately, she stepped out of the study. When she saw a group of elders and disciples running towards the Heavenly Demon Grand Square, she was puzzled and casually stopped an elder to ask.
"What are you all rushing off to?"
"Your Majesty, we are going to prepare to receive a punch from the Ancestral Master," the elder said respectfully to Luo Wuqing.
"Um?"
"What's the meaning?"
Upon hearing this, a look of astonishment flashed across Luo Wuqing's beautiful eyes.
"It's like this..."
Immediately, the elder slowly recounted the events.
"Oh? Getting punched by him will improve your comprehension?" Luo Wuqing wasn't too surprised to hear this.
After all, while this kind of thing seems outrageous, it's not so hard to accept that it happened to Ning Tian.
You have to understand, that guy can even borrow the power of a Great Emperor.
Compared to that, this is nothing.
"Alright, then you can go ahead."
Luo Wuqing waved her hand casually. Her comprehension had already reached the highest level of the Great Emperor Realm, and even if she took a punch, she could not improve any further.
She decided not to join in the fun.
She still has important things to do; she needs to arrange for people to investigate the matter of the artifacts left behind by that demon god.
