(The next chapter will be updated at 7 p.m.)
"Swoosh!"
The sound of wind breaking rang out.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Fang Qiu moved like the wind and charged at Elder Zhou.
Fang Qiu knew very well.
It was almost impossible for him to defeat Elder Zhou if he restricted his strength to the peak of martial arts practitioner level. However, he had to do so in order to exert enough pressure to continue his breakthrough.
Under such circumstances.
He could only make the first move and use the battle to fuel the battle.
After all, there was a huge gap between their strengths. If Elder Zhou made the first move, Fang Qiu would definitely be suppressed. He wouldn't even be able to defend himself, let alone break through.
"Humph."
Elder Zhou snorted disdainfully when he saw Fang Qiu make his move. He immediately made his move when Fang Qiu's attack was right in front of him.
He was incredibly fast and powerful.
Without any hesitation, Elder Zhou used his internal Qi as soon as he made his move. He tried to take down the arrogant Fang Qiu in one move with absolute dominance!
His fist was like a rainbow, heading straight for Fang Qiu's face.
Without the support of internal Qi and with his strength suppressed to the peak of the martial arts practitioner level, Fang Qiu could easily see through Elder Zhou's attack, but he was no match for Elder Zhou in terms of speed. Before his attack landed, Elder Zhou's fist was about to land on his face.
"Hmm?"
Elder Zhou was shocked.
Fang Qiu halted his steps and immediately dodged the punch. At the same time, he turned his back to Elder Zhou and pressed his body backward. His whole body suddenly became like a bow, and his hands met Elder Zhou's chest and smashed heavily.
"Hmm?"
Elder Zhou froze.
He didn't expect Fang Qiu to be able to dodge his attack.
Logically speaking.
Their strengths were three levels apart. With such a huge gap, he should have been able to kill Fang Qiu in an instant.
In the end.
Not only did Fang Qiu dodge his attack, but he also found a chance to fight back?
Elder Zhou was furious.
"You're asking for it!"
Elder Zhou roared inwardly. His right hand moved and a powerful burst of internal Qi burst forth to meet Fang Qiu's fists on his chest.
The next moment.
"Bang!"
There was a loud noise.
The two fists collided. A powerful burst of internal Qi burst forth from Elder Zhou's fist and instantly pushed Fang Qiu back.
"Hmm?"
As they pulled away from each other, both of them were stunned at the same time.
Elder Zhou was surprised. His punch didn't send Fang Qiu flying, but only pushed him back a few steps?
Fang Qiu was even more shocked.
When they collided, he felt that he was at a complete disadvantage.
However …
When his fist collided with Elder Zhou's, Elder Zhou's Inner Qi surged out of his body. He actually felt a surge of energy in his body.
It was inner strength.
He was right.
This was inner strength!
This was the internal force that Fang Qiu had never seen before. This power had completely exceeded Fang Qiu's understanding of the internal force.
This was a low-level power that belonged only to martial artists.
Fang Qiu actually withstood Elder Zhou's blow!
This was simply too shocking!
Inner strength could actually compete with inner Qi?
How could this be?
Even though he was incomparably shocked, everything that had happened before his eyes couldn't be the slightest bit false.
At this moment.
Fang Qiu was confused, but he was more surprised.
Because he understood.
This was the true inner strength.
"Not enough. This is still not enough."
Amidst his joy, Fang Qiu murmured to himself, "Although I won't be killed in a second in a confrontation with inner Qi, I'm still at a disadvantage. I still can't compete with inner Qi head-on. This is far from enough."
Fang Qiu could feel it.
His inner strength could become even stronger!
"I can definitely continue to break through. I can definitely break through again."
With this in mind.
Fang Qiu made a move and immediately charged at Elder Zhou.
Inside his body, the internal strength surged. He waved his fists and fiercely smashed them at Elder Zhou.
"I'd like to see how long you can hold out!"
Elder Zhou roared angrily.
Then, he reached out with both hands and madly fought with Fang Qiu.
In an instant.
The battle was extremely intense.
The two people in the arena were extraordinarily fast.
In the frenzied collision, their figures kept flashing.
Below the arena.
Everyone, including Elder Yi, widened their eyes in shock.
Because they realized.
Fang Qiu was actually on par with a grade-three Martial Superior when he was only at the peak of the martial arts practitioner level!
Although Fang Qiu was at a disadvantage in both speed and strength, Elder Zhou, who had the advantage, could not completely suppress Fang Qiu because of his dexterity.
Fang Qiu could not hurt Elder Zhou.
Elder Zhou could not hurt Fang Qiu either!
Everyone was shocked!
"This, this …"
"That's amazing!"
"How is this possible? How can a grade-three Martial Superior be on par with a grade-three Martial Superior? How can internal strength resist powerful internal Qi?"
"It's not just in terms of cultivation level and strength. Even in terms of power, there's a huge gap. How is it possible for them to be evenly matched?"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
How could a tie with a third-class Martial Superior with the strength of a Martial Practitioner exist in this world?
…
In the arena.
"What?"
Elder Zhou was also shocked.
During the battle, he realized that Fang Qiu did not use any internal Qi at all. Moreover, without using internal Qi, Fang Qiu completely resisted his attack.
What shocked him the most was.
When the first fist collided, Fang Qiu was instantly pushed back. When the second fist collided, Fang Qiu was also pushed back. The third and fourth fist were the same.
But when it came to the fifth fist …
Fang Qiu no longer retreated, but his body swayed.
When it came to the tenth fist, his body did not even sway.
Although he was not on par with him, he was not far behind. He could fight without any burden!
"How is this possible?"
"How can internal force be so strong?"
"I'm using the internal Qi of a grade-three Martial Superior. How can internal force compare to mine?"
He was full of shock.
Elder Zhou no longer held back. As his internal Qi surged, he directly exploded with all his strength. He waved his hand and attacked Fang Qiu ferociously, trying to completely suppress Fang Qiu.
"Good timing."
Fang Qiu felt great pressure from Elder Zhou, but not only was he not worried, he was even more excited.
What he needed now was pressure.
The greater the pressure, the greater the chance of a breakthrough!
As expected.
Under Elder Zhou's crazy suppression, Fang Qiu's attack was immediately interrupted.
What replaced it was endless defense.
In front of so many people.
Elder Zhou could not lose!
Moreover, he was not from Jiangjing. If he lost to Fang Qiu in this arena, this battle would be the greatest shame of his life.
Wouldn't it be the biggest joke in the world if a grade-three Martial Superior couldn't even defeat a martial arts practitioner?
Therefore.
Elder Zhou did not dare to hold back at all.
He attacked wildly, trying to trample on Fang Qiu.
On the other side.
Under Elder Zhou's crazy attack.
Fang Qiu felt the pressure increasing. He even felt that his range of movement was constantly being squeezed.
But under these circumstances.
Fang Qiu could feel that every cell in his body was restless.
His body was like a sponge that was full of water.
Water was the internal force.
As the pressure increased, the internal force in his body also surged out bit by bit.
"Internal force, internal force!
"I need to get stronger. I need to get stronger."
Fang Qiu kept shouting to himself as he resisted Elder Zhou's attacks.
In the end.
When it reached a certain level, the internal force that had been growing under Old Man Zhou's pressure suddenly stopped growing.
"What's going on?"
Fang Qiu was stunned.
"Could it be that this is the limit?"
Although his Inner Force had become much stronger due to Elder Zhou's pressure, it was still at a disadvantage against Inner Qi.
"No, that's not right.
"Something's missing. Something must be missing."
Fang Qiu felt empty.
No matter how much strength he exerted, no matter how much force he exerted, no matter how much he forced himself, his inner strength did not increase in the slightest.
"What's missing?
"What's missing?"
Fang Qiu pondered as he fended off Elder Zhou's crazy attacks.
Thinking.
He seemed to have forgotten the situation he was in.
He even forgot that he was fighting Elder Zhou.
His entire mind quieted down. He carefully sensed every inch of his body, every muscle, every bone, every cell.
In the arena.
Fang Qiu was deep in thought. His body was still flashing rapidly, defending, not showing any openings.
It was like a reflex reaction.
"Hmm?"
Elder Zhou seemed to have sensed it too. He immediately stepped back and stopped.
In the end.
A miraculous scene unfolded.
He saw that Elder Zhou had already retreated three meters away, but Fang Qiu was still dodging and moving quickly in the same place. He looked like a psychopath hitting the air.
The audience was dumbfounded.
However.
This situation did not last long.
Ten seconds later, Fang Qiu's movements suddenly stopped. He stood straight, motionless.
They looked carefully.
It could be clearly seen that his eyes were tightly shut.
"You!"
Elder Zhou was furious.
Fang Qiu had fought him with martial arts practitioner strength and asked him to use all his strength. But now, he had closed his eyes?
What the hell.
"Looking down on others." These four words were displayed to a height that had never appeared before by Fang Qiu!
This made Elder Zhou extremely angry.
It was as if Fang Qiu was saying, "I'll fight you with only my eyes and only with the strength of a child."
"Ah!!!"
In a rage.
Elder Zhou roared. His figure flashed, and with an incomparably powerful internal Qi, he punched at Fang Qiu.
In the end.
Just as Elder Zhou's fist was about to hit Fang Qiu, Fang Qiu, who had his eyes closed, suddenly turned around and evaded Elder Zhou's attack mysteriously. Even Elder Zhou was stunned.
Everyone outside the arena was so shocked that they could not close their mouths.
At this moment.
"It's the heart!"
"Yes, it's the heart!"
Fang Qiu, who had his eyes closed, finally found the answer.
"Internal force is the seamless cooperation of muscles, joints, ligaments, and every part of the human body to form a force that can be big or small."
Apart from these, Fang Qiu found that there was also the heart!
Where was the internal force when he needed to fight?
In the muscles, joints, and ligaments!
Where was it when he did not need it?
In the heart!
When the heart moved, it was there. When the heart moved, it was gone.
Internal force was like a person, controlled by the heart.
