"Crack!"

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

A crisp sound suddenly echoed.

Just as Lin Fan's seemingly effortless fingertip touched the tabletop.

The solid, smooth, five-centimeter-thick mahogany surface instantly emitted a sound of unbearable strain, as if struck by a massive hammer, and cracked the moment the fingertip landed!

The crack spread like a spider web!

The next moment.

Under everyone's astonished gaze.

"Crash!"

"Boom!"

The mahogany desk that had stood there just moments ago collapsed with a thunderous crash, turning into a pile of splintered wood.

At that moment, the room fell silent.

Everyone stood there, dumbfounded, staring at the pile of wood fragments and the young man standing quietly among them.

The black-clad girl, Xingye, who had been yawning and looking listless, suddenly straightened her back, her eyes filled with shock.

Venerable Compassion, who had been calmly chanting with his prayer beads, suddenly opened his eyes, his fingers pausing in their motion!

Everyone present was a martial artist.

They all knew how solid that mahogany table was.

It wasn't like those flimsy boards used for performances that break at a touch; this was a table made of solid mahogany.

Heavy!

Hard!

Its density was astonishingly high; this massive conference table weighed at least a ton!

The tabletop alone was five centimeters thick.

After being processed, if thrown into water, it wouldn't float but would sink instantly.

Moreover, with the wood's unique toughness, even if Venerable Compassion struck it with his Refined Iron Demon-Subduing Staff with all his might, he might create a large dent, but he would never smash it to pieces!

Yet the young man before them...

Without any visible exertion, just a light tap of his finger.

He turned the solid mahogany table into a pile of splintered wood in an instant!

This was even more shocking than piercing through the tabletop.

It's hard to imagine what kind of power that finger held to shatter the entire table instantly!

You have to understand.

Their previous impression of Lin Fan was just a handsome high school boy.

Even if he claimed to have returned from the future, where he was the Guardian God of Great Xia... but now, with no deities having descended, he should just be an ordinary boy!

Yet this handsome young man.

With one finger, shattered the table!

"This..." Wang Hu looked at Lin Fan in disbelief, "This is impossible! You... you must have pre-cut it... yes, it's one of those TV props!"

You can't blame Wang Hu for not believing it.

The scene was too shocking, like something only TV props could achieve!

Lin Fan smiled at Wang Hu without refuting.

"Wang Hu, that's enough," Dao Wanqian slowly stood up, his eyes scanning the pile of wood with a complex expression, "These cuts weren't made by a saw."

"They were shattered by force!"

With these words.

Wang Hu stood there, stunned.

"Young friend," Dao Wanqian's eyes were complex, with a glimmer of anticipation, "Was that martial arts? How many years have you practiced to reach such a level?"

For a moment, everyone present looked at Lin Fan!

They all wanted to know the answer!

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, it would be hard to believe that such a scene could be achieved by human strength!

Could martial arts really reach this level?

However.

"Not long, about... two days and two nights?" Lin Fan smiled.

"What?!"

"Two days and two nights?"

"How is that possible?"

"I've practiced Xingyi Quan for thirty years, mastered the Twelve Forms, but even the Tiger-Crane Double Form can't achieve this! You did it in just two days and two nights?"

"Impossible, impossible... you must have secretly practiced for who knows how long..."

For a moment, everyone was full of disbelief.

What Lin Fan said was simply too incredible.

Even Dao Wanqian, with his excellent composure, shook his head slightly, "Impossible."

To shatter a mahogany table with a finger.

Even if it were possible by human strength, it would require countless years of practice, wouldn't it?

But.

"Everyone," Lin Fan smiled, "I really only practiced for two days and two nights."

Lin Fan wasn't lying.

Even though he had been quietly practicing the Godslaying Demon-Exterminating Art since returning, it had only been two days and two nights at most.

At this moment.

Seeing Lin Fan's clear and sincere eyes, Dao Wanqian felt a chill in his heart.

This young man seemed to be telling the truth!

For a moment, everyone present was inexplicably shocked.

Had this guy really only practiced for two days?

But.

Beyond the shock, everyone's eyes lit up.

After all, in today's world, technology is advanced, and martial arts have declined.

They possessed extraordinary skills, but as Dao Wanqian said, no matter how strong you are, can you withstand a bulldozer?

No matter how much you study, can you compete with Baidu?

You're skilled in assassination, but can you match a sniper rifle?

Although they didn't say it, deep down, they all knew that human strength has limits, and martial arts have lost their ancient glory.

But witnessing Lin Fan shatter the table with a finger.

Everyone felt a glimmer of hope and anticipation... could this be the true limit of human strength?

Could martial arts really achieve this?

But.

Just then, Lin Fan suddenly said, "However."

"What I practiced isn't martial arts."

"It's a path to becoming a demigod."

With these words.

Everyone was taken aback.

"The Path of the Demigod?" Dao Wanqian was slightly stunned, "You mean..."

"The path to becoming a demigod," Lin Fan said calmly, "This is a technique developed by Mr. Chen Yan in the future, in Great Xia, to combat deities."

"It's not martial arts."

"But it can gather the scattered divine power in the air into the body, to be used, unlocking the potential of the human body... even surpassing its limits."

"Ultimately, reaching the level of a demigod!"

"Although without divinity, one cannot become a deity. But a demigod can face deities head-on and even inflict some damage."

For a moment.

Everyone's eyes turned somber again.

It seemed.

It had little to do with martial arts.

But.

Lin Fan continued with a smile, "I can teach you this technique, and you can start practicing immediately."

"Of course, the first time you practice, it won't be as smooth as mine."

"It will take about a week for you to initially grasp the use of divine power."

"To achieve demigod strength... although your meridians are already open, absorbing divine power from the air and learning to master it will take time, about two months."

"Trust me, in the future, you will fully unleash the power of martial arts. The era hasn't abandoned you; it needs you to save it!"

"Martial arts will continue to shine in your hands. Those deities unafraid of guns and cannons will fall to our Eastern Martial Arts! Fall to human martial arts!"

With these words.

Everyone was left in a daze.

Learning... the Godslaying Demon-Exterminating Art?

Mastering the use of divine power?

Even, with a human body, using martial arts to fight deities?

This... was too incredible!

And this was Lin Fan's true purpose, which he had been preparing for so long.

He wanted these people to willingly learn the Godslaying Demon-Exterminating Art, becoming the first batch of the Godslayer Army! To unleash the power of martial arts in the upcoming invasion of the God of the Ocean.

This time.

Let the deities witness the power of human martial arts, witness the strength of this seemingly insignificant species!
