Subsequently, the two of them seemed to have fallen into a stalemate. What surprised the crowd was that Linlong did not fall into a disadvantageous position throughout the process.
Logically speaking, Linlong was weaker than Zhou Mingzhi and should have quickly fallen into a disadvantageous position in such a stalemate. However, Linlong seemed to be getting more and more powerful as he fought. His Qi was endless, as if it would never be exhausted.
Not only were the people around surprised, but even Zhou Mingzhi, who was in the middle of it, was surprised.
Little did they know that the reason why Linlong's Qi was endless was because he cultivated the Dantian Record. As a peerless technique in the Mutian Continent, the endless Qi was one of its major characteristics.
Apart from that, Linlong's proficiency in using various martial arts techniques also made Zhou Mingzhi sigh with emotion. This was because the power of some seemingly ordinary martial arts techniques multiplied in Linlong's hands.
Moreover, when these martial arts techniques were used in succession, they seemed to be infinitely powerful.
Not to mention Zhou Mingzhi, even Lin Qingshan, who was extremely familiar with the Lin family's martial arts techniques, was dumbfounded. This was because he realized that Linlong's proficiency in these martial arts techniques seemed to be above his. Sometimes, he even realized that martial arts techniques could be used in such a way.
Since when did this little guy become so familiar with the Lin family's martial arts techniques? Lin Qingshan's old face could not help but twitch.
When he thought about how he had never even taught Linlong these martial arts techniques, he had the urge to jump into a river and be done with it.
Zhou Zhiming originally wanted to use his long Qi to exhaust Linlong and eventually exhaust him. However, it seemed that this method would not work at all. If this continued, he would probably be the one to lose.
Therefore, after thinking about it, he decided to give up on this rather gentle method.
It was time to use his ultimate technique. After thinking about this, he immediately retreated from the range of his battle with Linlong and began to mobilize the remaining Celestial Qi in his body.
It seemed that Zhou Zhiming was going to use his ultimate technique! Seeing this scene, how could the surrounding people not understand?
"Before using his ultimate technique, Linlong could only fight to a draw with him. Now that he's using his ultimate technique, how can Linlong be a match for him?"
"Not necessarily. Didn't you see how Linlong looked just now? He was completely at ease."
Immediately, there was a lot of discussion below the stage.
"Heaven Falls and Earth Rends!"
At this moment, Zhou Mingzhi suddenly shouted and charged towards Linlong like a bolt of lightning. During this process, he clenched his fists and punched towards Linlong at an incredible speed. Although it seemed slow, it was actually extremely fast.
Although his movements were incomparably clear, his fist energy was incomparably fierce. It was so fierce that the entire stage actually began to tremble.
At this time, the sharp-eyed people discovered that the originally flat stage had actually started to crack, especially around Zhou Mingzhi.
Sure enough, it was a heaven-shattering and earth-shattering blow! Such a ferocious attack caused the surrounding crowd to exclaim in admiration.
Linlong had to lose this time. That was the only thought they had left.
The stage was made of huge and hard stones. At this moment, many fine stone chips even flew into the air.
However, Linlong did not seem nervous at all. He stood there quietly as if none of this had anything to do with him.
Those who cared about Linlong were naturally very nervous at this time, especially Little Butterfly. She was so nervous that she did not even notice her nails digging into her flesh.
At this critical moment, Linlong moved. Waves of energy suddenly emerged from his body.
"This is a defensive martial skill!" The knowledgeable people immediately exclaimed.
However, it was obvious that the defensive style that Linlong used this time was completely different from the previous ones.
In front of him, the energy seemed to form pieces of armor that protected him. Moreover, the pieces were not connected, but there was a slight gap between them.
What kind of martial skill was this? The surrounding people were stunned. Even the powerful figures from the major clans were at a loss.
Fang Feiyang, Su Tianhua, and the other patriarchs of the major clans had a familiar expression on their faces. Only Lin Qingshan had an unprecedented expression of shock on his face.
This was because he could tell that Linlong's martial skill was clearly the Lin family's long-lost yellow-class defensive martial skill — the Shield Technique!
The Shield Technique was the Lin family's highest yellow-class martial skill because it was completely comparable to those earth-class martial skills. However, when the previous patriarch was still alive, it was somehow lost from the family.
If Lin Qingshan had not seen the Lin family's books that described the Shield Technique, he would not have known that the martial skill that Linlong was using was the Lin family's long-lost Shield Technique.
"Could it be that this was also left behind by his father?" Lin Qingshan's face twitched again.
At this moment, a thought suddenly popped into his mind. It was that Linlong had been lying earlier. All that he had learned was not because his father had left anything for him.
Lin Qingshan believed that he knew his son, Linlong's father, better than Linlong.
As many thoughts flashed through his mind, Zhou Mingzhi's attack on the stage had already reached its conclusion.
After a series of explosions, the seemingly powerful Zhou Mingzhi's attack was actually unable to completely penetrate Linlong's defensive martial skill.
"Linlong really hid his strength well."
"Linlong really has a reason to be so arrogant."
For a moment, the surrounding crowd was in an uproar again.
Zhou Mingzhi looked at Linlong in disbelief. Just as the crowd thought that he was preparing for the next wave of attacks, he suddenly said with a gloomy expression, "I've lost!"
"Young Master Zhou, how could you have lost?"
"That's right. The two of you are only tied now. Moreover, Linlong is completely on the defensive. How could you have lost?"
Seeing that Zhou Mingzhi had actually admitted defeat, many people who felt that it was unfair for him immediately shouted.
From their point of view, Zhou Mingzhi had not lost at all. If Zhou Mingzhi had continued to attack, Linlong would definitely not have been able to fight back.
Naturally, they felt that Zhou Mingzhi's admission of defeat was not worth it.
Once he admitted defeat, not only would he lose Su Ranran, he would also lose face. After all, Zhou Mingzhi was a first-tier Martial Master. Although he had suppressed his strength, he was still much stronger than Linlong.
"I have indeed lost. The energy in my body has been completely exhausted. Even if I had continued to fight, I would not have been able to avoid this outcome," Zhou Mingzhi said calmly.
After pausing for a moment, he appeared extremely calm. He was indeed a person who was able to let go of things.
"Indeed, Young Master Zhou is already an arrow at the end of its flight. Even if he continued to fight, he would still lose. He might as well just admit defeat." At this moment, someone who had figured out the trick also explained.
"That seems to be the case." This explanation enlightened those who had been doubting Zhou Mingzhi previously.
With this explanation, they could also tell that Linlong was still at ease, while Zhou Zhiming was basically an arrow at the end of its flight.
