The training hall fell deathly silent as Matt knelt on the ground. It was as if time had frozen. The short-haired, long-legged woman's mocking expression froze as she stared at Matt, who was speechless for a long time.
"This is impossible!"
"What happened to Matt?"
Mythology's members were stupefied by the sudden turn of events.
They knew Matt's strength and defense better than anyone else. As for Matt's personality, it was needless to say. However, the scene before them felt like it was all an act.
Shifeng's palm strike had been soft and gentle, as if he had pushed it forward. Even an ordinary person wouldn't have been injured, let alone a Henglian expert like Matt, yet Matt had fallen to the ground, his face pale and his expression distorted. It was obvious that he had suffered a heavy blow.
At this moment, let alone Fang Shihan and the others, even Lei Bao and the others in the hall were dumbfounded by this scene.
"What did Hall Master Shi do? Why couldn't Matt block that attack? "
The Heaven's Rumble Training Center's members were confused as they watched this scene.
They had witnessed Matt's strength with their own eyes. He had defeated Lei Bao with just three punches, and his defense was so strong that even Lei Bao's full-powered attack hadn't hurt him, yet Matt had failed to block Shifeng's soft palm strike.
It was as if a truck hadn't hit a cow, but had instead been heavily injured by a falling leaf. It was unbelievable.
"Vice Guild Leader, did Shifeng use a hidden weapon? Otherwise, with Matt's physique, how could he have gotten injured?" A robust youth standing behind Fang Shihan, who was just as strong as Fang Mingyu, asked softly.
Aside from the old instructor, Fang Shihan and Matt were the strongest members of their team. Now that Matt had been unable to speak for so long, Fang Shihan was the only one who could tell what Shifeng had done.
The others nodded in agreement. They all believed that Shifeng had used a trick. Otherwise, Matt wouldn't have gotten injured.
"No, he didn't just use one palm strike, but three," Fang Shihan said as she stared at Shi Feng. Fang Shihan's expression turned indescribably grim as she looked at Shi Feng, who stood a short distance away from her. "Moreover, all three of his palms landed on the same spot. By the looks of it, it looks as if he had only sent out one attack. His control over his body has already reached perfection.
"Three palms as one? How is that possible?!" Everyone was stunned.
Setting aside the fact that three palms had struck the same spot, just executing three palms in the same instant was incredible. They couldn't even begin to fathom how frightening one's reflexes and reaction speed had to be to accomplish such a feat.
"That's right. I did use three palms." Shifeng didn't deny Fang Shihan's claim. Instead, he was a little surprised as he looked at the kneeling Matt, who wore an ugly expression. "Not only did the power of my three palms increase significantly, but my penetrative power has also nearly doubled. Yet, I only managed to injure you slightly. Your body's strength is truly unbelievable. If this had happened a few days ago, I wouldn't have been able to do anything to you."
During his time in the Howling Wind Canyon, he had gained a lot of insight into how to control his Epic Mana Body. His control over his Epic Mana Body was completely different from the Bronze Mana Body he had previously controlled, especially when it came to controlling the flow of Mana in his Mana Body.
Although he possessed an Epic Mana Body's powerful Mana, his control over his Mana Body was still at a very basic level. This aspect was very similar to his body in the real world.
After becoming a neutralizing grandmaster, his brain's secretion of hormones had continuously improved his physique. His reaction speed and reaction speed, in particular, had improved significantly. However, despite his reaction speed, he only knew how to use it at a very basic level. He couldn't exert his full strength like he could with Skills and Spells.
However, through his Epic Mana Body's Mana, he had discovered some techniques that could improve his reaction speed. Combined with his control over his body, although he still couldn't achieve the same level of power as in God's Domain, he could still exert a portion of his strength.
Moreover, even if he only learned a portion of his Mana Body's Mana Body, he could still increase his Strength and penetrative power significantly.
Even a truly sturdy, three-meter-tall grizzly bear wouldn't be able to withstand his attack. Although Matt's muscles were unbelievably powerful, he was still only human.
After recovering from his injuries, Matt stood up and glared at Shifeng, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes. He no longer had any intention of continuing the fight.
"You … Very good! It's my loss this time!"
Henglian experts like Matt were famed for their Strength and Defense. Even if one of his punches landed, he'd be dead for sure. Hence, he dared to challenge neutralizing grandmasters with fast reaction speeds. However, if he ran into a neutralizing grandmaster like Shifeng, who could break through his Defense, he'd have no choice but to flee. Otherwise, only death would await him.
As for Shi Feng's strength, he had only ever felt it from his old instructor.
His old instructor was a frightening existence who had reached the neutralizing stage several decades ago. In addition, his body had been strengthened by various technologies and potions. He was no longer human.
Matt couldn't understand how Shifeng had achieved such a feat at such a young age.
"In that case, Miss Fang, can you honor your promise now?" Shi Feng asked as he turned to Fang Shihan after seeing Matt admit defeat.
His fight with Matt had given him a lot of insight, not only because of his control over his body's reaction speed, but also because of Mythology's standards for nurturing experts. He had never thought that Mythology could reach such a frightening level.
If even Mythology had reached such a level, the other superpowers would most likely have similar standards.
Right now, he needed a large number of Life Potions. Not only did he need to improve his physical fitness, but he also needed to help Lei Bao, Fire Dance, and the others break through to neutralizing grandmasters as soon as possible. Otherwise, he'd be in too much danger by himself.
While the Three Palms One technique might seem simple, it was incredibly difficult to execute. If Shi Feng hadn't calmed himself and allowed Matt to hit him as he pleased, he wouldn't have been able to execute the technique.
"I don't have 20 Life Potions on me right now, but I'll have someone deliver them to you within a day," Fang Shihan said, frowning. Fang Shihan frowned as she looked at Shi Feng. She had never thought that Shi Feng's strength would exceed her expectations. He was no longer an ordinary neutralizing grandmaster. "We still have other matters to attend to, so we won't keep you company," Shi Feng said, frowning.
After saying so, Fang Shihan turned and left with her subordinates. Shifeng didn't stop her. Fang Shihan was the Qilin Corporation's heiress. She wouldn't go back on her word in public.
After Fang Shihan and her subordinates left, the training hall erupted with cheers. Everyone revered the Shifeng as if they were gods, and their confidence in the Heaven's Rumble Training Center's training and development grew. For a time, many of the training center's members wanted to join the Heaven's Rumble Training Center.
However, inside an advanced maglev car parked outside the Heaven's Rumble Training Center's entrance, Matt was confused as he watched Fang Shihan leave in a hurry.
"Vice Guild Leader, are we leaving just like that? Although one of our goals is to test the Heaven's Rumble Training Center's standards, our main goal is to participate in a virtual combat competition and seize the Heaven's Rumble Training Center's dominance over Fenglin City's virtual combat platform. That Shifeng might be physically strong, but he's a different story in a virtual combat platform. Now that you've reached Tier 3, not even Ling Yi's Hei Yan is a match for you, let alone a Shifeng, "Matt asked curiously.
"No. Our priority right now is to report this matter to the old instructor," Fang Shihan said, shaking her head. Fang Shihan shook her head, a bright glint flashing in her eyes as she said, "The fact that Shi Feng has grasped such power at such a young age means that he must be hiding a huge secret. If we can get our hands on this secret, our status in Mythology will definitely improve significantly. We might even get promoted to one of the three Vice Guild Leaders in the main headquarters!
