The Mighty Body of the Act-Tough King?

The middle-aged Confucian heard Xu Que’s description and he was startled for a second; apparently he didn’t understand what it meant.

But then he nodded and replied, “You’re right. I’m afraid you’ve inherited not only the Mighty Body of Hades. It was already an enhanced Mighty Body of Hades, and you’ve added Chaotic Qi into it. This physique is certainly stronger than the Mighty Body of Hades. You’re qualified to rename it!”

Xu Que smiled and he was satisfied with his present body.

He was clearly aware that his current physical body was much stronger than before. Moreover, in the process of the refinement and perfection by the brilliance of the Five Elements, his physical body had acquired a new cultivation stage—a second-rate Mighty Body. If he acquired a first-rate Mighty Body in the future, he would have a physical body at sage level. If he advanced further, he might not be far from being a Deity!

The powerfulness of his Mighty Body was most evident from the disparity between him and the middle-aged Confucian dressed in white.

The middle-aged Confucian had cultivated his Hell King’s Prison Suppression Physique to the first-rate of the cultivation stage. But Xu Que could feel that his second-rate Mighty Body was stronger than his first-rate Hell King’s Prison Suppression Physique.

“Young man, what’s your name? A person like you must be a dazzling presence out in the world, am I right?” The middle-aged Confucian asked with a faint smile.

“I’m Xu Que from the Exploding Heavens Faction, known as the number one most handsome man in history!” Xu Que laughed and continued, “I wonder how I should address a senior like you?”

He felt that it was necessary to make friends with the middle-aged Confucian—his strength shouldn’t be underestimated. That man was in the medium stage of the Golden Celestial Stage, which, together with his first-rate Hell King’s Prison Suppression Physique, compared with others on the Earth Continent, was on par with the ruler of the Six Major Celestial Realms.

“Xu Que from the Exploding Heavens Faction? Number one most handsome man in history? Ha, ha, interesting!”

The middle-aged Confucian in white burst out laughing. Xu Que had won his recognition, and he replied with a smile, “Are you asking for my name so that you can ask me to return a favor?”

“Of course, if it hadn’t been for me, you would have died here!” Xu Que replied as a matter of fact.

“Ha, ha, although I’ve recovered my physical body, I still can’t get out of here. It’s no use asking for my name!” The Confucian in white shook his head.

Xu Que suddenly laughed and said, “This may not be true. To tell you the truth, besides inheriting the Mighty Body, I’ve also received a Magic Art from Hades. In addition, I know how to get out from here.”

“What?” The Confucian in white was surprised, and he asked delightfully, “Is this true? Do you really have a way to get out of here?”

“Why should I deceive you?” Xu Que smiled.

He was speaking the truth, after the inheritance of the Mighty Body, he had also received a Divine Magic Art. It was a Blade Magic Art created by Hades, known as the “Hades Nine Nether Slash”. It was extremely powerful when put to good use together with the Mighty Body.

As for the way to get out of this place, it was even simpler. As long as he smashed the stone road with a single punch from his Mighty Body, he could break all the restrictive spells and regain freedom!

“Ha, ha, that’s very good. It seems that I’m not fated to die. I’m happy to have met such an interesting person as you.Young man, you’ve won my recognition!” The Confucian in white laughed loudly and was very excited.

Being trapped there, he had seen much life and death, and he had completely given up his hope of surviving.

But Xu Que’s appearance had changed his destiny. After the recovery of his physical body, he was surprised to find out that there had been a great leap in the cultivation stage of his physical body.

When he first came in there, his physical body had only reached a second-rate cultivation stage. Unexpectedly, under the reincarnation of the physical body while walking on the stone road, he had unconsciously acquired a first-rate cultivation stage for his physical body. Although he didn’t get the Mighty Body, he was able to get some good out of his misfortune.

Whoosh!

Just then, Xu Que had fallen from the sky and returned to the stone road.

From the moment he inherited the Mighty Body, the stone stairway and the altar had been destroyed. In addition, the stone road had lost its power of reincarnating a physical body; it could no longer cause reincarnation of his body.

Xu Que returned from danger, safe and sound. He looked around and landed on the clouds.

“What do you want to do, Buddy Xu?” The Confucian in white asked Xu Que when he saw the sparkle in Xu Que’s eyes.

“Senior, what do you think I’m going to do?” Xu Que smiled.

The Confucian in white immediately twitched his lips and he asked, “Don’t tell me you’re trying out the power of the Mighty Body on the white fog?”

“Heh, heh, you’re right!” Xu Que smiled. He stepped on lightning, and his figure suddenly turned into a ray of light as he bolted away directly.

Bang!

The next moment, accompanied by a loud thud, Xu Que suddenly stopped in front of the clouds and fog and the ground was cracked instantly.

What a powerful Mighty Body! Xu Que immediately marveled at its power. He had only used 10 percent of the Three Thousand Volts Lightning’s force, but his speed had already surpassed its previous limit. It was obviously a magical effect brought about by his physical body.

Not only had his speed increased, but his strength was greatly enhanced. A moment ago, he didn’t pay attention to controlling his strength and landed as he pleased. As a result, he broke into the ground.

In that case, the power of my punch will be comparable to the force of the King of Tough-Acting Fist, which was worth more than 50,000 Acting Tough Points! Xu Que squinted as he calculated his new strength.

Then he stretched out his hand and reached out to the cloud and fog.

He really wanted to see if the cloud and fog, an armor which could instantly destroy an Inferior Celestial Artifact, could hurt him.

That was equivalent to making a comparison between his Mighty Body and an Inferior Celestial Artifact’s armor!

Psssh!

The moment when his finger touched the cloud and fog, there was a light buzz, and then a rising plume of white smoke could be seen everywhere.

Uh? This isn’t right!

Xu Que was startled, and shock was written all over his face.

When his fingers penetrated the cloud and fog, it not only didn’t hurt him, but the cloud and fog penetrated the surface of his skin and flowed into his pores.

Bam!

Almost at the same time, the majestic clouds and mist were violently swirling. It was akin to different layers of clouds or the stormy seas; it quickly swept over Xu Que.

D*mn it!

Xu Que wanted to withdraw his hand out of reflex, but, in a blink of an eye, the cloud and fog that enveloped the entire area had suddenly disappeared; it had surged into his right hand. His right arm was covered with white frost, continuously exuding cold air, but it was unusually tough and durable.

This…what’s going on?

Xu Que was a little confused and he couldn’t figure out what was going on with his arm at all.

“Buddy Xu, take out a Celestial Artifact with defense ability and touch it with your right hand!” Just then, the Confucian in white rushed over and said with a solemn expression.

Xu Que didn’t inquire further. He immediately took out a palm-sized small helmet from the deposit storage of the System and handed it to the Confucian in white.

The Confucian in white was startled, and he smiled bitterly. He took the small helmet, produced a wisp of Celestial Core Power, and activated the helmet.

The next moment, a brilliant glow surged out from the palm-sized helmet. It formed a well-fitted helmet directly above the head of the Confucian. It was apparently an Inferior Celestial Artifact with defense ability.

“Buddy Xu, take it easy! I’ve just come back to life. Don’t kill me again!” The Confucian grinned bitterly. After all, the Inferior Celestial Artifact had to be activated before they could see the effect.

“Not to worry, senior. In fact, I have some troublesome enemies outside. You have to be alive to help me deal with them!” Xu Que laughed.

Then he raised his frosty arm, stretched out a finger, and slowly approached the head of the Confucian in white.

Crack!

With a single touch of his finger, the helmet on the head of the Confucian, which was condensed by brilliant rays, cracked in an instant.

Xu Que’s eyes sparkled and he added a little more strength.

Bam!

In an instant, the whole helmet burst apart.

“Indeed, it is rumored that when the Mighty Body is newly formed, it has a chance to merge with anything in the world. I didn’t expect that you had merged with the Occult and Ghostly Ice Fog and achieved a Divine Magic Art of the Occult and Ghostly Ice Fog Hand!” The Confucian in white laughed.
