"Lou Cheng!"
"Peng Leyun!"
All of a sudden, the sound waves exploded. Countless spectators raised their arms and shouted the name in their hearts at the top of their lungs. It was as if a forest had suddenly grown around the stadium and a fighter jet had swept past.
Lou Cheng didn't unleash his aura. He walked along the aisle at a moderate pace and slowly climbed the stone steps. He stood on the left side of the referee. At the same time, Peng Leyun also walked into the arena calmly. It was as if he was waiting for the battle to officially start before he unleashed his accumulated strength, imitating the horror of a flood breaking through a dam.
Their eyes met and they smiled. Both of them had grasped the other's thoughts.
The referee with a half-beard looked left and right. When the electronic clock struck the hour, he raised his right hand and announced loudly,
"Talk time begins!"
Peng Leyun lowered his waist and his body seemed to sway with a natural rhythm. As he swayed, Lou Cheng couldn't find any flaws.
He looked over and smiled faintly.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Me too." Lou Cheng smiled casually in response.
For the next two minutes, neither of them spoke again. They were both counting down the time in their hearts, just like a race car.
Two minutes, one minute, thirty seconds … Peng Leyun's body emitted a low turbo pressure sound. It was slow and drawn-out, with pauses and pauses. It made people feel what it meant to be ready to go.
Ten, nine, eight, seven … Lou Cheng's muscles and fascias tightened. The exchange of hot and cold in his body seemed to be brewing into a terrifying eye of a storm.
Three!
Two!
One!
"Begin!"
As the referee swung his right hand down, Peng Leyun's waist sank and reversed in an instant. The sound of "turbine compression" exploded in unison. His entire body pounced out like a bolt of lightning. His steps made the arena shake rapidly, and the muffled sound of his steps rolled in the hearts of everyone, like the first thunderclap of the arrival of spring!
His shadow was still there, and the shaking hadn't stopped. However, he had already crossed more than twenty meters and appeared in front of Lou Cheng in a flash. Lou Cheng's back turned sharply and his muscles swelled. He completed the turn in an instant and circled to the side. He broke through the air barrier, stirring up a strong wind as he smacked his opponent in the face.
Bang!
The "wave" that was strong enough to send a grown man flying came at him. Peng Leyun pulled his left arm and raised his palm to block his face. At the same time, the silver light in his eyes fell, and his muscles flashed. His right shoulder shook violently, and his arm swelled up as he swung it to the side in a condescending manner.
Lou Cheng straightened his back, clenched his right fist, and blocked the attack. Then, he would follow up with a Crushing Punch with his left hand and a low knee kick to gain the upper hand. However, in the reflection of his Ice Mirror, Peng Leyun's muscles and fascia were completely different from when he was exerting force. It was similar to the situation when he was performing the simplified version of the Fighting Formula!
There was a problem!
Lou Cheng's heart skipped a beat. The two large muscles on his back suddenly bulged and pulled his right arm up. He clenched his fist and punched out. It was as if he was blocking, blocking, and guiding.
Bang! As soon as the two of them made contact, Lou Cheng could feel his opponent's extraordinary strength. If he took it head-on, his arm would definitely be knocked away and he would be knocked backwards.
His clenched fist suddenly stretched out, and his palm moved diagonally from the bottom to the top. He skillfully diverted Peng Leyun's attack, and although it seemed as if it was as light as the wind, it was actually a very dangerous parry.
Peng Leyun took advantage of the momentum to turn his body. He raised his left arm again, and in the flash of an electric arc, it swelled and hammered downwards.
The basic martial arts of the Thunder Sect, Lightning and Fire Stance, could stimulate the tailbone and cause an outburst. At the high-ranked Dan stage, there would be a corresponding advanced version of the secret art. After Peng Leyun comprehended Heaven's Golden Flame, he simplified many of the steps and used pure electric shock to injure the body with extremely strong control. He obtained a technique that weakened the effect but allowed him to use it faster.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
He swung his arms, and in the flash of electric arcs, he hammered down ferociously. This caused the surrounding air to condense into layers of dark clouds that weighed down on Lou Cheng's heart, bringing about a terrifying mental deterrence. This also caused the audience to have an inexplicable hallucination. It was as if Peng Leyun had transformed into the God of Thunder with a giant hammer in his hand. His upper body was bare, and his bronze muscles were wrapped in electric arcs. Amidst the sweat dripping down his masculine and powerful aura, he swung and smashed again and again. It was completely different from his usual style, and it was refreshing.
Lou Cheng didn't dare to be careless. He immediately circulated his Qi and blood to stimulate the corresponding parts of his body.
Simplified Fighting Formula!
His muscles bulged, and he pulled back his arm in a fighting posture. His fist shot out like lightning towards his opponent's giant hammer. He was going to meet force with force and meet force with force.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
He exploded three times in a row and bounced back three times, stirring up an invisible airflow that turned into waves. The electric arcs flickered and splashed everywhere.
Boom!
Their arms propped up their sleeves, and their muscles looked like they were about to explode. Peng Leyun's explosion was still slightly inferior to the secret technique. His body shook and he took a step back.
Just as Lou Cheng was about to take the opportunity to stretch his back and launch a series of attacks to bring the rhythm into his control, he suddenly put his palms together. It was as if he was about to unleash the Thunder Blade with a thunderous boom.
Lou Cheng shifted his center of gravity and immediately turned to the right in an attempt to avoid being struck by lightning.
However, Peng Leyun's strike didn't make any sound. Instead, the sound of a vortex spinning madly in his body sounded again. A huge and strange suction force appeared out of thin air, "pulling" Lou Cheng to the front.
In the previous hammer strike, he had secretly left electric arcs, accumulating a layer of single-attribute electric charge on his opponent's body. Now that north and south were attracting each other, it came in handy!
Thunder begets magnetism, and magnetism begets force!
After the suction, Peng Leyun pulled his palms apart, pulling out a silver-white electric snake as thin as a cicada's wing. It was blinding.
Pseudo Cloudless Thunder Blade!
However, Lou Cheng seemed to have been prepared. Just as he was pulled forward, he took advantage of the momentum and squatted down. Not only did he dodge the instantaneous electric light in time, but he also threw a punch at his opponent's waist.
How could he, who had stepped into the realm of Encountering Gods in the Void and Self Reflection, not notice the layer of electric charge on his body? He had been holding back all this time to create an opportunity!
Bam!
The two of them were less than half a step apart. Before the crisp sound faded, the punch was already close. Cold sweat beaded on Peng Leyun's forehead as he reversed the vortex. The humming sound erupted again.
Lou Cheng's punch was getting slower and slower, as though he was caught in a repulsive force field. However, at this moment, he snapped his fingers and opened them, shooting out streaks of crystal clear and cold Ice Soul Brilliance.
Breaking through the surface with a single point, the force field was penetrated. Seeing that the cold streaks were about to reach his body, Peng Leyun, who didn't feel that everything was fine after reversing the vortex, pulled his spine and pulled his body diagonally backward. The streaks of white streaks brushed past him and covered the surface of his clothes with a layer of frost.
Lou Cheng bounced his waist and stood up. Striding forward, he clenched his fist and launched a Forward Charge Attack.
Peng Leyun extended his palms downwards and crossed them into a net, firmly blocking the attack. Lou Cheng didn't manage to land a hit, so he took advantage of the situation and turned around, his back facing his enemy. Then, he swung his elbow backwards and struck fiercely.
With a crisp sound, Peng Leyun's raised arm was swung away helplessly. Once again, he took a step back.
Lou Cheng had already turned around. He retracted his Qi and blood and immediately exploded them. He was about to launch a series of explosive attacks with the precision of a ruler. Left, Ice Soul Technique, right, Emperor Yan Technique. Alternating, Never-Ending Attacks.
However, at this moment, Peng Leyun lowered his waist and swung backwards. Amidst the shaking of the arena, he made a Flash Attack backwards and dodged 30 meters away, close to the edge.
Crack!
Lou Cheng's explosive Dan Force rushed to his feet, causing the surrounding green bricks to soften into powder. Using the terrifying rebounding force, he spread his wings and leaped forward. In the blink of an eye, he had closed in on his opponent.
Rumble, rumble, rumble! Peng Leyun displayed his Body Movements and made a series of turns, stirring up gusts of strong wind, not giving his opponent a chance to gain momentum.
Lou Cheng vaguely understood the key point of their fight. On the surface, it looked like they had the upper hand, but in fact, it was a battle of rhythm. The one who could interrupt and destroy the other's momentum and control the changes of speed would have the upper hand and a chance to accumulate victories.
Unconsciously, he had a new understanding of the battle of high-ranked Dan Stage fighters.
After several turns, he still couldn't get rid of his opponent. However, Peng Leyun took the opportunity to complete the outline of the Green Jade Talisman Book in his mind. He condensed a Thunder Snake in his palm and released a powerful bolt of lightning that turned from green to purple.
Simplified Physical Invulnerability Move, Thunder Seal, revealed!
With the help of the Ice Mirror, Lou Cheng had already sensed it. He pulled his waist and back, swung his center of gravity, and dodged to the side. The lightning struck the ground of the arena, leaving a long, meandering charred mark like a big tree.
Peng Leyun immediately counterattacked when his opponent's rhythm paused. He lowered his Qi and blood and condensed them into a single point, in exchange for a violent explosion and ferocious rush.
Bam! He took a step forward, his right arm swelled and punched. His fist was covered with a layer of silver-white Thunder Snake, as if he was wearing an exaggerated Thunder Glove. It was heavy, strong, and fierce!
Lou Cheng followed up with Force Concentration. He pushed his feet together and rushed forward with the Heart Drilling Hammer, blocking his opponent's fist.
Boom!
The explosion broke up the electric arc, and the impact caused a shock. The two fighters were evenly matched. One was slightly paralyzed, while the other's Qi and blood were slightly disturbed.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Peng Leyun kept punching with his fists. When they were evenly matched, he suddenly turned his body and pulled back his leg, creating another bolt of lightning.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
His whip leg followed by a knee strike, a knee strike followed by an arm flick, an arm flick followed by a reverse swing, and a reverse swing followed by a hammering with the other hand. The series of attacks flowed smoothly. Every strike burst out with Dan Force, spewing out Thunder Snake, illuminating the arena.
In the eyes of the audience, Peng Leyun was like the Thunder God swinging his hammer in the beginning. Now he had turned into a bolt of lightning, striking again and again, blurring the audience's vision. The Nine Tribulations Chain was shockingly powerful!
Lou Cheng's spirit was shaken and shook. Fortunately, the Ice Mirror had been formed. His consciousness was in midair, so he barely resisted and didn't slow down.
Relying on a clear understanding of his surroundings and his opponent, he kept bursting out Dan Qi, punching and kicking. Sometimes he used Ice Spirit, sometimes he used Emperor Yan, and fought fiercely with Peng Leyun.
Every time they collided, it was like a bomb being detonated, shaking the ground, creating craters, and filling the air with smoke and dust.
The paralysis was accumulating, and the shock was heavy. Although both of them used Force Concentration to dissipate most of the effects, it was inevitable that there would still be problems.
Peng Leyun's Nine Tribulations Chain was based on the Nine Heavens Fusion, a unique Physical Invulnerability skill. The chain was tight and the force was continuous. Even if Lou Cheng used 24 Blizzard Strikes, he was gradually at a disadvantage.
Boom!
Just as they finished another fist collision, Peng Leyun suddenly pulled his fascia, flicked his joints, and made a rapid attack with overlapping afterimages.
"Machine God Fist!"
He took the initiative to change, to control the speed of the change in rhythm!
But just as he made the adjustment, Lou Cheng swayed his center of gravity backward, pulled his waist, and swung away under the pressure of the fist wind. Not too early, not too late, just right!
His punch missed, and his pursuit slowed down. Peng Leyun looked at Lou Cheng, who had steadied himself on the ground, and understood that he knew the importance of rhythm.
Being in his own rhythm would make the enemy passive. Every move would be restrained, and the more he fought, the more difficult it would be!
Up until now, the two of them had been fighting back and forth, and it was a tie again!
At this time, the audience came back to their senses and burst into cheers.
Just now, Lou Cheng and Peng Leyun were attacking and defending each other, and the whole process was so intense that they almost couldn't breathe.
How exciting!
Two murderous weapons in human form!
"Evenly matched … I'm afraid they are close to the level of Professional Fourth Pin?" In the live broadcast room, the host Liu Chang blurted out.
He Xiaowei nodded in a daze. "Yes … but they probably won't participate in the Ranking Event. When they reach Physical Invulnerability, they can directly get Third Pin …"
Peng Leyun rarely participated in the Ranking Event, and Lou Cheng had only been there once. Relying on their own rapid progress, they easily got the certificate based on the hard standard of the state!
…
Good! Peng Leyun thought to himself, and the fighting spirit in his eyes grew stronger. With a Flash Attack, he closed in on his opponent and made another strong attack.
Good move! Lou Cheng was in high spirits, and he didn't dodge. Instead, he returned his qi and blood, balanced into a Dan, and spurted out his force. Then he pushed his feet inward, shook his right arm, and turned it into a steel whip, and swung it down diagonally!
Bam!
There was a loud explosion, and the ground was in a mess. The two of them swayed and then closed in again, either bombarding each other with Blast Punches or Vibrating Zen Hammers.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two of them fought until sand and pebbles flew everywhere. The deafening sound was completely displayed. They had learned their lesson from before and didn't reveal any flaws. They were evenly matched. At most, one of them would occasionally gain the upper hand, but it would be gone in the blink of an eye.
The intense battle made the audience exclaim in satisfaction, and their blood couldn't help but boil. They raised their hands and shouted loudly, both to cheer and to vent.
Seven or eight minutes passed. Even though Lou Cheng and Peng Leyun were at the Inhuman Level, they couldn't help but show signs of declining in various aspects, especially Peng Leyun, who was both mentally and physically affected. He was already showing signs of fatigue.
Lou Cheng was replenished by the Jindan, so his physical condition was pretty good, except for his mental state.
It's time!
With a thought, he controlled his qi and blood, stimulated his body, and used the simplified Wholeness Formula in exchange for a clear mind.
Bam!
He stretched his back, stepped forward, and attacked. His right fist was surrounded by red and white flames, and he punched straight ahead. His momentum was so strong that it overpowered his opponent in an instant!
Peng Leyun's mind was slightly shaken. He lowered his arm and punched downwards, hitting the surface of Lou Cheng's fist.
Bam!
Amidst the loud noise, Peng Leyun's eyes flashed with surprise. His forearm bounced back involuntarily, almost hitting his chest. His body couldn't help but sway.
Bam! Bam! Bam! There was no joy in Lou Cheng's eyes. He spread out his arms with indifference, and combined with the explosion of the Dan stage, he attacked with precision. One punch was crystal cold, and the other was heavy and scorching hot. He forced Peng Leyun into a defensive position, struggling to hold on.
With the rhythm under his control, Lou Cheng suddenly paused in the midst of his consecutive attacks, allowing the flames, force, and mental state of the Dan Balance to compress inwards, away from the cold and away from the darkness.
His eyes turned dark in an instant, deep and indescribable, like a night without stars or moon.
Bam!
Lou Cheng's blood returned to him, and he came back to life. He stepped forward with his left foot, swung his right arm, and punched Peng Leyun like a violent snowstorm.
Self-created unique skill, Lament of the Ice Queen!
Instead of being surprised, Peng Leyun was overjoyed. At the moment his opponent changed his rhythm, he reversed the Yin and Yang in his body, creating a vortex that devoured each other.
According to reliable information, Mouko Yamashita had mastered the Swordsman Formula and had used it on his companions a few times. Therefore, there was enough reason to suspect that Lou Cheng, who had close ties with the military, had obtained the Wholeness Formula!
I've been waiting for a long time, just for this moment!
Although he wasn't sure what had happened to allow him to use the Nine Words Formula so quickly without the need for hand seals or secret sounds, it was a once in a lifetime opportunity!
With a bam, Peng Leyun crossed his palms and pushed them out, facing Lou Cheng's hammer attack. The surrounding light dimmed in a frightening manner.
Poof!
A muffled sound like a dud was heard. Peng Leyun's palm that was holding Lou Cheng's fist glowed with a layer of ice.
The freezing spread rapidly, sealing him in ice in an instant, as though he had been placed in a transparent coffin.
Lou Cheng felt his mental and physical strength leaking out rapidly into the depths of Peng Leyun's palm, as though he had encountered the Star Sucking Great Skill.
It was the same unique skill that he had created himself, Reverse Vortex!
Thump, thump, thump. Lou Cheng withdrew his hand abruptly and took three steps back. His legs were weak and he looked exhausted.
"A lose-lose situation …" said the guest commentator, He Xiaowei, in amusement.
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Lou Cheng energize and regain his vigor. Then, with a sliding step, he closed in on his opponent who had yet to break free from the ice seal!
The second strike of the simplified Wholeness Formula!
"Did he take his medicine?" He Xiaowei was shocked.
How many lives does this guy have?
Up, down, left, right, back, and back? And he's still a hero?
It was just a simplified version, so the effect wasn't as good. Lou Cheng wasn't at his peak, but his punches and kicks weren't slow at all. He swung his left arm, straightened it into a spear, and aimed it at Peng Leyun's throat.
Peng Leyun was frozen, so his body's reaction was slow. He shouldn't be able to parry in time!
At that moment, an electric light flashed and landed on Peng Leyun's elbow. The shock caused his forearm to swing out violently, blocking Lou Cheng's fist with a bang.
Following that, Peng Leyun kept shooting out silvery white electric current to stimulate the corresponding parts of his body. This allowed his sluggish and stiffened muscles to move correctly, blocking Lou Cheng's attacks one after another.
How can this work? Lou Cheng was stunned. He was almost counterattacked by his opponent.
"How can this work?" He Xiaowei blurted out, dumbfounded.
Is this the Knee Jerk Reaction? Or is he using electric current to simulate neuron signals to forcibly move his frozen body?
Is he still f * cking human?
Uh, he's already an Inhuman!
No! I can't let Peng Leyun break free from his stiffness. I have to end this quickly! Lou Cheng couldn't be bothered to be stingy with his mental strength. He kept drawing back his Qi and blood and blasting out his Dan Force. One punch was covered in frost to replenish the effects of the cold, while the other was surrounded by red, detonating externally to create vibrations.
Peng Leyun forced himself to perform Force Concentration. The feeling of being frozen and stiffened lessened each time. Although his internal injuries were worsening, he didn't show any signs of losing.
Lou Cheng stepped forward, stirring up strong winds. Seizing the opportunity when his opponent's movements were affected, he switched to eight different positions and struck eight Ice Spirit Force. Peng Leyun was on the verge of collapsing.
At that moment, Lou Cheng used Snow Cover followed by Cold Devour. Nimble as a fox, he flashed behind Peng Leyun. Taking advantage of Peng Leyun's missed attack, he was going to win.
At the critical moment, the turbine in Peng Leyun's body spun again, releasing a strong repulsive force.
Lou Cheng's heart was as cold as ice. Unmoved, he channeled his Qi and blood to stimulate his body and used the simplified Fighting Formula again.
Bam!
He retracted his arm and swung it out with his bulging muscles, breaking through the air barrier and breaking through the force field.
Then, he swung his arms and struck continuously with Zen, not giving his opponent a chance to catch his breath.
Bam, bam, bam! Peng Leyun's Qi and blood churned and his muscles twitched. Affected by the electric current, his limbs became sluggish.
Exhausted, Lou Cheng paused for a moment and used the simplified Wholeness Formula one last time.
Invigorated, he took a step forward and struck with a Zen Punch with his left fist. Peng Leyun was wobbling, his internal organs on the verge of rupturing.
Bam!
Lou Cheng didn't hold back. He continued visualizing and raised his right arm. Severe Warning!
Peng Leyun's body was so sluggish that it was difficult for him to dodge. He could only use the electric current to stimulate him and raise his arm to receive the blow.
Bam! Peng Leyun's body trembled and he stood rooted to the spot. Although his mind was under the Thunder God's suppression and his thoughts weren't completely frozen, he couldn't send out signals in time to control his body.
Lou Cheng swung his left arm and opened his palm, pressing it against his opponent's head.
The referee raised his right hand and ended the long and arduous battle.
"First round, Lou Cheng wins!"
Lou Cheng heaved a sigh of relief. Until the very end, he felt that Priest would be able to turn the tables.
Once his momentum dropped, his spirit withered. In terms of other aspects, he was still slightly inferior to Peng Leyun. Moreover, the simplified Wholeness Formula's effect was getting worse with each strike. If his opponent could withstand three more strikes, he would probably be the one to lose. Of course, Priest's energy consumption wouldn't be much lower than his. Even if he could break free from the effects of paralysis, he might not be able to seize the opportunity to win.
Victory was only a hair's breadth away!
Peng Leyun recovered, stared at Lou Cheng, and blurted out,
"Encountering Gods in the Void?"
"Yeah." Lou Cheng nodded calmly.
"Impressive!" Peng Leyun praised. With great difficulty, he turned and left.
He shook his head and smiled as he walked. He didn't feel dejected, only the urge to try again.
The surrounding audience came to their senses and applauded enthusiastically.
