As soon as they sensed something was wrong, a coldness suddenly appeared on Robert Carter’s face. He snorted, “Do you think that just because you’ve reached the fifth wheel of the Qi Wheel Realm, you can become first in the clan competition? Look closely—see what level of cultivation I possess!”

Robert Carter suddenly stretched out both arms, and a surge of energy almost knocked the audience off their feet as it burst forth from his body.

“Sixth wheel of the Qi Wheel Realm! Robert Carter has actually reached the sixth wheel of the Qi Wheel Realm!”

The aura released by Robert Carter instantly caused the clan members’ pupils to contract. Several elders in the stands sat up straight, their eyes shining with astonishment!

In the eyes of the clan, Robert Carter had only reached the fifth wheel of the Qi Wheel Realm a year ago. No matter how hard he tried, it should have been impossible for him to reach the sixth wheel.

But to everyone’s surprise, he had actually entered the sixth wheel of the Qi Wheel Realm!

In an instant, the way everyone looked at Robert Carter changed.

If Robert Carter was at the fifth wheel of the Qi Wheel Realm, William Carter might still have a chance to defeat him. But now that Robert Carter had reached the sixth wheel, William Carter’s chances of victory were practically zero.

The gap between the fifth and sixth wheels of the Qi Wheel Realm was not just a little—it was enormous!

Rubbing his fists, Robert Carter mocked, “Didn’t you learn Thunder Strike? I’ll use Thunder Strike against you! I’ll show you just how vast the gap is between a genius and a piece of trash.”

“Thunder Slash!”

His roar was like thunder, his body like a flood dragon!

Four explosive booms sounded from Robert Carter’s arms, the sound of thunder echoing across the entire arena!

A satisfied smile appeared on Thomas Carter’s face. With this strike, William Carter would surely be sent flying!

Under his gaze, his fist, carrying the strength of four oxen, struck William Carter’s fist with perfect accuracy.

At the instant their fists collided, thunder exploded from within William Carter’s arm, and a series of muffled “bang bang bang bang bang” sounds, even more powerful than Robert Carter’s, suddenly erupted from William Carter’s fist.

Thunder’s Five Peals!

A domineering force like a tidal wave crashed into Robert Carter’s arm, instantly forcing him to stagger backward, his entire arm feeling as if stabbed by needles and slashed by knives—an excruciating pain.

Robert Carter retreated ten steps, staring in shock at William Carter, who had bounced him away yet remained completely unmoved. “How is this possible!”

Though it was a cliché exclamation, it truly reflected the feelings of Robert Carter and almost everyone else at that moment.

He was at the sixth wheel of the Qi Wheel Realm, while William Carter, at best, was only at the fifth.

Even if William Carter gave it his all, he shouldn’t have been able to push Robert Carter back even a little!

But to his utter disbelief, William Carter had actually cultivated Thunder Fist to the level of Thunder’s Five Peals!

Thunder’s Nine Strikes! One peal equals a thousand pounds!

“Could it be that the Vein-Burning Pill not only increases one’s cultivation, but also enhances martial skills?”

Robert Carter couldn’t understand it. He had trained desperately in Thunder Fist, but had only managed to reach the level of four peals.

How could William Carter, this so-called waste, have cultivated Thunder Fist to such a degree? It must be the effect of the Vein-Burning Pill!

But even if the Vein-Burning Pill had such an effect, so what? A surge of pride rose in Robert Carter’s chest. On my path of martial arts, you, William Carter, aren’t even worthy of being called a stumbling block! Watch how I trample you!

Robert Carter instantly steadied himself, stomped his foot hard, and a mighty force shook the ground with a loud boom. The phantom of a giant bear suddenly appeared behind him!

“Bear Martial Soul!”

With a furious shout, his foot that landed on the ground actually left a deep depression.

“Martial Soul!”

“Heavens! Robert Carter actually has a Martial Soul too!”

“William Carter is doomed this time…”

The exclamations of the onlooking clan members rose one after another, making the smile on Thomas Carter’s face even broader. Next! The era of the Thomas Carter family’s dominance was about to begin!

The Bear Martial Soul could instantly increase the cultivator’s strength and defense!

If, just now, Robert Carter could only unleash the strength of six oxen with one punch, now he could strike with the power of seven oxen.

Only those at the seventh wheel of the Qi Wheel Realm could wield the strength of seven oxen. Even if William Carter had just managed to strike with the power of six oxen, Robert Carter didn’t believe William Carter could reach seven!

With his strength surging, every step Robert Carter took forward made the ground rumble.

From a distance, his figure looked just like a burly black bear.

A wild goose flying high in the sky, probably disoriented by the thunderous stomping, seemed about to fall from midair.

Staring at the now immensely powerful Robert Carter, the audience was so shocked they couldn’t utter a word.

In his current state, Robert Carter was confident that even if he faced someone at the seventh wheel of the Qi Wheel Realm, he could put up a fight!

Step by step, as he walked toward William Carter, the ground was left in a terrible state.

“Trash, go die!”

With his Bear Martial Soul unleashed, veins bulged on his arms as he threw a punch. The fierce power shook the air, producing a constant wailing sound.

William Carter calmly watched the incoming fist. At that moment, his soul seed thumped like a war drum on the battlefield, sometimes strong, sometimes weak, searching for the true rhythm of Thunder Strike.

The Thunder Fist, unleashed by the Bear Martial Soul, arrived in an instant. The fierce wind from the punch whipped William Carter’s hair into a frenzy. He suddenly stepped forward half a pace, his right arm drawing up from his left rib like an unsheathed battle blade, slashing toward the incoming fist.
