Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Mo Luo Dan Admits Defeat_1
Xu Fan took a deep breath and shook the dust off his clothes.
The palm strike from Mo Luo Dan just now had been received by Xu Fan using his own body, and it had hardly caused him any harm.
Mo Luo Dan was at the peak of the Qi Drawing Realm, and the attack he exerted with all his strength was something that even a regular Martial Arts Grandmaster would need to handle with caution. Yet, it couldn’t even break through Xu Fan’s bodily defenses, which showed how much Xu Fan’s physical defense had improved after being modified by the Pei Yuan Pill.
“Has my master’s physical defense reached the extraordinary realm of Unbreakable Golden Body?” Mo Luo Dan stood on the ground, looking up at Xu Fan with a bit of reverence.
“Unbreakable Golden Body? Not quite, but below the level of a Martial Arts Grandmaster, they can’t hurt me anymore,” Xu Fan said indifferently.
Mo Luo Dan gave a respectful bow to Xu Fan. Now, he truly admired Xu Fan. This young man was simply too powerful. Just before, Mo Luo Dan could still inflict not insignificant harm on Xu Fan, but after Xu Fan consumed that purple elixir, his physical strength had greatly increased. What Mo Luo Dan now truly found horrifying about Xu Fan wasn’t his martial prowess, but his elixir-making level.
The elixir Xu Fan had made for him just now took only three hours to heal his injuries. Mo Luo Dan knew well that if it weren’t for Xu Fan’s elixir, even if he scoured the entire Yan Country, he might not have been able to heal his own injuries.
The purple elixir Xu Fan had just refined was even more formidable. After consuming it, Xu Fan’s physical strength rose a notch, making him invincible below the level of a Martial Arts Grandmaster. If Mo Luo Dan had Xu Fan’s Unbreakable Golden Body, he would dare to rush to the Mo Luo Sect right now and take revenge for his master.
His Great Prestige Heavenly Dragon Tattoo could increase his strength by a level, and by then, wouldn’t Martial Arts Grandmasters pose no threat to him at all?
“Master, Mo Luo Dan is willing to follow you for life. I only ask that you help me to achieve my revenge!” Mo Luo Dan kneeled heavily on the ground in front of Xu Fan once again. This time, it was with genuine sincerity as he felt Xu Fan’s strength; it was not out of a sense of coercion.
“Get up. If you follow me from now on, your strength will certainly progress rapidly. Revenge is not something to be rushed. Once you become powerful, all enemies will tremble at your feet,” Xu Fan, with hands clasped behind his back, said lightly.
At that moment, Xu Fan’s silhouette appeared immensely powerful in Mo Luo Dan’s eyes, as if enveloped in a divine aura.
“Now, listen carefully. I’ll teach you a set of cultivation techniques. In our sparring just now, I noticed that your techniques contain elements of the Shi Sect. So, I’ll pass on to you a powerful Buddhist cultivation technique. If you devote yourself to it, I estimate that you would break through to the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm in less than a month,” Xu Fan said slowly to Mo Luo Dan.
“What…” Mo Luo Dan was at a loss for words. His master possessed not only immense elixir-making skills but also controlled even more powerful cultivation techniques. The master was so young yet so strong for a reason.
“Pay close attention now. This technique is called Dragon King Kong Zen, and it possesses a mysterious connection with your Great Prestige Heavenly Dragon Tattoo. When cultivated to an advanced level, the technique can open the eyes of the dragon tattoo on your body. By then, you can unleash your Great Prestige Heavenly Dragon at will.” Xu Fan flashed before Mo Luo Dan and began to impart the Dragon King Kong Zen, an advanced Buddhist cultivation technique he had found in his previous life in the Cultivation World.
Mo Luo Dan concentrated intensely, committing every word from Xu Fan’s mouth to memory with great detail.
Martial Artists have an exceptionally good memory when they concentrate intensely. Xu Fan only needed to speak once, and Mo Luo Dan engraved the teachings of Dragon King Kong Zen deeply into his mind.
“Thank you, master. I will diligently practice and will not let you down,” Mo Luo Dan said gratefully to Xu Fan.
He had kowtowed to Xu Fan numerous times already, but now, besides bowing his head, he could not think of any other way to express his gratitude to Xu Fan.
“From now on, don’t call me master. It doesn’t sound very good. Just call me young master,” Xu Fan said as he stretched out his hand and used the Air Control Technique to lift the kneeling Mo Luo Dan from the ground.
“Yes, young master. Mo Luo Dan will forever be your servant,” Mo Luo Dan bowed deeply, and said respectfully.
“Also, your name isn’t very pleasant to hear. From now on, you’ll take my surname and be named Xu. You’ll be called Xu Dan,” Xu Fan said indifferently.
“Okay, from now on I’ll be Xu Dan,” Mo Luo Dan nodded and replied.
“Seal the well opening with stones again for me,” Xu Fan pointed to the well opening he had uncovered and instructed Mo Luo Dan.
Now that Xu Fan finally had a follower by his side, he no longer needed to do everything himself, especially menial tasks that were beneath his dignity, which he could now delegate to his newly acquired underling.
“Yes, young master,” Mo Luo Dan nodded and began to tidy up the well opening that Xu Fan had damaged. He picked up the broken stones and discarded the debris into the forest.
“Then go to the side and find a large bluestone to cover it with,” Xu Fan instructed Mo Luo Dan.
“Yes!” Mo Luo Dan responded, summoning his strength and heading into the forest, where numerous large rocks lay. He arrived in front of a particularly smooth rock face and exerted his Great Strength Vajra Palm, striking the bluestone wall.
With a “boom,” a millstone-sized piece of bluestone was fiercely knocked loose by Mo Luo Dan’s palm. Mo Luo Dan leaned forward to shoulder the huge stone.
The stone must have weighed a thousand pounds, and although Mo Luo Dan was at the peak of the Qi Drawing Realm, the weight forced him to stoop, his feet leaving deep impressions in the ground.
Carrying the stone on his back, Mo Luo Dan took step by step towards Yulong Temple, his strength still insufficient to enable him to stride forward briskly under the weight of a thousand-pound stone.
Arriving at the entrance of Yulong Temple, Mo Luo Dan encountered a problem.
The temple doors were tightly locked, and with the thousand-pound stone on his back, Mo Luo Dan was already struggling to walk, making the thought of scaling the wall nearly impossible.
Just then, Xu Fan appeared beside Mo Luo Dan with a flicker, and said softly, “Give it to me.”
Xu Fan’s hands instantly supported the thousand-pound boulder; his face did not flush, and he did not pant, handling it as effortlessly as if it were a pebble.
Xu Fan lightly leaped, holding the stone, and flew beside Lock Dragon Well, and gently placed the stone atop the well opening.
Mo Luo Dan followed Xu Fan into Yulong Temple and, seeing Xu Fan handle the weight as if it were nothing, his eyes once again shone with astonishment. This look had appeared no less than three times today; his trust in Xu Fan’s strength was indeed growing stronger.
