Beauty and the Bodyguard

It was Lin Yi's style to get stronger when he met someone stronger-it was only natural for him to break through when he was faced with someone stronger than him in every aspect.

The only regret was that Cheng haonan didn't choose to continue the challenge, which took away all the pressure on Lin Yi and also the feeling of breaking through. It was a pity-if Cheng haonan had continued the challenge, Lin Yi might've broken through during the fight, even if he still wasn't a match for him.

Of course, it was a pity that he couldn't break through in one go, but it wasn't something he couldn't make up for. Since he'd just brushed past the breakthrough during the day, it was simple for Lin Yi-he just had to find a way to get it back. After all, it might seem mysterious, but there were still traces to follow.

Lin Yi clearly remembered that when this feeling first appeared, it was the first time he was knocked off the stage by Wu baoliang. He was simulating the wild flame thousand explosion fist in his mind, and he was only thinking about how to defeat Wu baoliang at that time. He didn't pay much attention to it, but now that he thought about it, the feeling was still very real.

In other words, as long as he re-derived that powerful and oppressive ultimate move, he would be able to stimulate the battle intent in his body, and he would not be far from an official breakthrough.

Lin Yi was at least 60% confident in this and started trying it out without hesitation. However, there was no point in trying it out now. After all, he had completely mastered this move, and there was no pressure on him at all. Naturally, he wouldn't feel the pressure when he tried to use it.

His mind kept going back to the fight he had during the day, and this time, Lin Yi's target wasn't Wu Bao Liang's violent sand thousand explosive fist, but Cheng haonan's entire body that had turned black.

Cheng haonan's strength was in his normal attacks, and he didn't have a killer move like the violent sand thousand explosion fist, but the sight of his strength skyrocketing after his entire body went dark left a deep impression in Lin Yi's mind.

Strictly speaking, the entire body turning dark could not be considered a technique, but a state. It was an extremely powerful state that was even more unsolvable than the violent sand thousand explosive fist.

Because he didn't have the chance to experience it personally like the violent sand thousand explosive fist, nor did he fight with Wu Bao Liang so many times, Lin Yi didn't have a deep understanding of Cheng haonan's entire body darkening state. It was much more difficult to deduce it, not to mention that this state itself was much more complicated than a simple ultimate move like the violent sand thousand explosive fist.

In order to successfully derive a move, one had to at least master its essence, just like the violent sand thousand explosive fist's thousand explosion. If Lin Yi didn't know the principle of the sand explosion, he wouldn't have thought of using fire crystals instead, and naturally, he wouldn't have the violent flame thousand explosive fist.

However, Cheng haonan's entire body had only turned black for a short moment, so it was not easy to grasp the essence of it.

He thought back over and over again, and the fight with Cheng haonan played like a movie in his mind, repeating it over and over again, including Cheng haonan's movements, reactions, and the aura he gave off. He didn't let go of any details on the stage-only then could he find some clues.

He'd used less than an incense's time to reconstruct Wu Bao Liang's violent sand thousand explosive fist, but this time, he spent half a night trying to figure out Cheng haonan's entire body darkening, and he still couldn't get the point.

Could it be that that move was really so impeccable? Lin Yi couldn't help but frown-it was strange that he couldn't even figure it out with his super-strong comprehension.

All of a sudden, a light bulb went off in Lin Yi's head-no, no, the key wasn't after Cheng haonan's entire body turned black, but before!

Although there was a huge difference in strength, Cheng haonan's combat essence had not changed, whether it was before or after his entire body had turned dark. He was still using his normal fists and kicks. The only difference was that his power and speed had increased by a large margin.

In other words, as long as one could understand Cheng haonan's ordinary punches and kicks, one would be able to go with the flow and understand his entire body's darkening. These two were actually related.

After coming to this realization, the difficulty of the deduction dropped by quite a bit. Although Cheng haonan's entire body was blackened for only a split second, Lin Yi had a deep understanding of normal punches and kicks. After all, he was in a deadlock with Cheng haonan for a long time, and he had suffered quite a bit.

Every punch and kick of Cheng haonan's kept going through Lin Yi's mind, and the Qi in his body started to stir. This wasn't just pure comprehension-it was a part of his own comprehension. To a certain extent, comprehension was more reliable than comprehension, and it felt more real, so the effect was better.

He didn't know how Cheng haonan did it, but he felt like he'd entered a whole new realm-a whole new physical skill realm.

It was different from martial arts. The foundation of martial arts was true Qi, while the foundation of physical arts was the physical body. In fact, it was somewhat similar to those physical Masters in the secular world!

In today's world of cultivation, including the five big islands, martial arts dominated the world. No matter what level the battle was, it would often end with a few strong moves of martial arts. There were very few people who insisted on using physical skills, but of course, most of these people were former external cultivators.

After all, apart from freaks like Cheng haonan, most people would not specifically practice physical skills, because it required years of hard work. The key was the results of the practice, which were far less impressive than the speed of martial arts.

Spending the same amount of time to master a martial art technique was enough to increase one's combat power by 10 points. However, if it was used on physical techniques, one's combat power might only increase by one point, or even less. The difference was so great that it was obvious which one would be chosen by an ordinary person.

Slow improvement was the greatest disadvantage of body techniques, but at the same time, it had an absolute advantage that no other martial arts technique could compare to. As long as one persisted in cultivating, the power of body techniques could be improved infinitely!

Any martial technique, no matter how powerful and awesome it seemed, was limited by one's strength and realm. After reaching a certain level, it could no longer be improved. Even if one could continue to practice the subsequent moves, the improvement was minimal and could not keep up with the new realm. Therefore, one could only practice a more powerful martial technique and start from scratch.

However, physical skills were different. Up until now, no one had ever heard of anyone being able to reach the upper limit of physical skills! If he continued to cultivate, he would explode and die. This kind of thing basically didn't exist. (To be continued.) "If you like this work, you're welcome to come to Qidian.com to give your recommendation and monthly vote.
