Chapter 90 I First 10 Times, Clothes Stain 18 Falls! (Three More)
Meng Yu's perception was incredibly sharp.
Growing Golden Lotus endowed him with a Divine Sense that far exceeded that of ordinary people, especially when it came to sensing murderous intent aimed at him. This was a key reason he engaged in three-accompany competitions, and why Zhuge Caihua felt moved by the hardships he endured to earn money. In such competitions, accidents that could leave him seriously injured or even dead were all too possible.
For instance, what if his opponent suddenly harbored malice and struck a lethal blow?
You must understand, there are always some people who are not really human at all. On the basketball or soccer field, they might want to cripple you for no apparent reason at all if they take a dislike to you—let alone knowing you're a true genius who's still growing!
He had encountered such people before. Whenever he sensed their ill intentions, he would straightforwardly refuse, citing poor condition, among other reasons, to avoid the match.
But this was different from those two times. Those were issues of personal character; the so-called murderous intent was actually malice. However, this person, although trying hard to pass as an Early Foundation Establishment stage, Meng Yu could sense that his Divine Sense was at least at the High Stage of Foundation Building, and he possessed a formidable Cultivation. Moreover, he harbored a cold killing intent towards Meng Yu!
The Morning Star Minor World was meant to be a peaceful region, so tell me, what kind of person could suppress their own cultivation to go undetected and pass the various inspections of the Immortal Sect?
If such a person were also equipped with a Magic Artifact similar to the Golden Eight-Gate Diagram, wouldn't they be able to kill me?
Perhaps some people just can't help but jump out.
Or maybe Zhao Yuxiang's death has made some people so hate-filled they wish I were dead now!
The General's Token was a token used on ancient opera stages that later became transformed into a bulky and heavy weapon. Over time, some captured the generous spirit of generals and the substantial nature of shields, adding to it the True Qi from battlefield slaughter to improve it generation after generation, eventually forming a complete Cultivation Technique.
This was a Combat Technique that combined both offense and defense, the complete opposite of Meng Yu's high-attack and high-agility style. Of course, as a sparring partner, Meng Yu should favor such an opponent, fully able to defeat him in a kite-flying manner.
But if this person were at the High Stage or even the peak of Foundation Building, then he would be Meng Yu's natural nemesis.
Without taking another look at Mr. Guo, Meng Yu first fought against another Foundation Establishment stage opponent.
This battle was somewhat tough. Although the opponent was in the Early Foundation Establishment stage, he cultivated a Water Element technique, which was flexible and tough. Starting with various defenses, Meng Yu fought until the very end, consuming a considerable amount of True Qi before finally defeating his opponent.
The second match was a bit easier. Also at the Early Foundation Establishment stage, the opponent wielded dual whips with great force and heavy momentum. Several times he stood toe-to-toe with Meng Yu. In the end, it took Meng Yu less than a hundred moves to defeat his opponent, though he even took a hit from a whip.
Next should have been the third match, but right there in the arena, Meng Yu said, "Let's do it tomorrow; if I have a breakthrough, then let's continue the day after tomorrow."
Nothing is more significant than a martial artist's Sudden Enlightenment. Mr. Guo naturally did not press the matter and expressed to the surrounding Foundation Builders his anticipation for tomorrow's fight with Meng Yu.
"No problem, Mr. Guo, see you tomorrow."
Calmly bidding farewell to Mr. Guo as if he had noticed nothing, Meng Yu then returned to his quarters and activated the Protective Formation.
Today, someone had cleverly arranged for him to fight two Foundation Builders, causing him to use up a lot of True Qi. Although he could fully recover with some short-term breathing exercises, it would still be slightly lacking in purity. In a normal battle, this would not be an issue, but in a life-and-death fight, it could make all the difference.
Mr. Guo definitely had a problem.
Well then, I'll take the fight head-on!
Well then, I'll use tenfold effort!
When the Gale is about to arrive!
Taking a deep breath, Meng Yu gazed intently at the Cross Lotus Seed within his Divine Sense.
It was the Wind-Slicing Strike that had been integrated into the White Crane Swordsmanship, which could no longer be enhanced, but despite the various restrictions imposed by the Immortal Sect, he could choose any type of swordsmanship—be it metal, wood, fire, or earth—provided he was willing to pay a certain price and make promises.
There were many excellent cultivation techniques available, yet... He took another deep breath, thinking of the hardships of the past two-plus years.
Apart from business trips, he was constantly battling others. In many a Minor World, without the conditions of the Virtual Space, he had to face those at the Foundation Building High Stage, clad in various Gold-threaded Soft Armors, Heavenly Silkworm Soft Armors, and the like, fighting against them. In combat, he would be battered and bruised, as vulnerable as a straw in a gale, wounded time and again by his opponents' formidable True Qi.
Everyone thought he was doing it for money, to enhance his combat strength—yes, that too, but there was another reason: he was perfecting another martial skill, the Eighteen Falls of the Drenched Garment!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Often, he could have avoided being hurt, but he would rather take the hits to perfect this technique! Find more to read on empire
There were full-defense body-protection techniques like the Vajra Invulnerability Skill, Golden Bell Shield, and Everlasting Evergreen Body, but those techniques required both internal and external development, and would explode with ten times the strength. Moreover, Meng Yu always felt that relying entirely on one's body to withstand attacks was just too foolish.
Just as one can't compare strength with an excavator, why couldn't the Golden Bell Shield be layered with another layer of armor?
People aren't monkeys; if there's a massive boulder, just avoid it.
Meng Yu preferred techniques akin to the Grand Heaven and Earth Shift, Tai Chi Fist Sword, and the Unencumbered Fist that involve borrowing and deflecting force. Now, he had chosen the Eighteen Falls of the Drenched Garment, a technique that transformed the True Qi throughout his body into something like a spiral spring, capable of deflecting or even rebounding any attack received.
What was the use of this martial skill?
If he had mastered the Five Elements Swordsmanship of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, he could have gained a deeper understanding of the true essence of martial arts, which would have been superior, or he could have even achieved Foundation Establishment by Enlightenment!
However, there was a bold idea now in his heart, and it was this idea that had led him to choose the Eighteen Falls of the Drenched Garment technique over the past two to three years.
One year with the Immortal Sect, two years with Great Wu, battling time and again, he constantly experienced the secrets within, and at present, he had honed this technique to the highest level he could achieve.
"Ten!"
The gray lotus seed landed on the technique of the Eighteen Falls of the Drenched Garment and then confirmed.
The next moment, he felt himself entering a world where he was a Martial Arts Expert, and in that lifetime, the only skill he cultivated was a technique of enduring hits and deflecting force, the Eighteen Falls of the Drenched Garment.
The original Eighteen Falls of the Drenched Garment was a technique that combined fist techniques, movement techniques, wrestling, and more, but the Immortal Sect's version of it merged everything into the art of Borrowing Force to Strike and deflecting force.
"Join as Open," "Stick as Throw," "Top as Lead," "Connect as Dismiss," "Linked Foe Force," "Follow Enemy's Intent," "Stagger without Thought," "Fire Seizing Calamity"!
Meng Yu silently cultivated this mental method, as every muscle, bone, and even his meridians and True Qi, guided by the overarching principle, began the long and tedious practice.
Day by day, year by year, after the flowers bloom, a hundred flowers slay, thirty years passed like a fleeting dream!
In that virtual world, he practiced the Eighteen Falls of the Drenched Garment every day, constantly refining it, becoming physically stronger after each challenge, while all his past battle experiences and beatings became nourishment that bolstered his cultivation.
This was a slow and painstaking skill, a technique based on enduring hits!
It was a technique seldom practiced by anyone, simply because it was too difficult and exhausting!
In that virtual world, he endured beatings for thirty years!
