Chapter 1003: Chapter 297: Fist to Fist

Tang Luo sized up Ji Chen from top to bottom, his eyes filled with increasing admiration, “As a Yuan Yang child, you draw on pure Yang energy to stimulate the Yang properties of the Undying Battle Body. If someone else did this, they would be attacked by Yang fire and self-combust, but when you perform it, it is robust and upright, your qi and blood are like a dragon, your divine heart like a pump, truly a marvelous Spirit Art!”

In the form of a giant Blood Dragon, Ji Chen’s eyes also flashed with a hint of surprise. Everyone says Tang Luo’s martial arts mastery is unparalleled, a prodigy that comes once in a millennium, and he had always been skeptical.

Having not a trace of bloodline talent, he had reached his position today solely through his own study and integration of martial arts. Moreover, the Blood Dragon Yang Qi Art was the masterpiece created from fusing the Lingxiao Sect’s Tengang Fighting Qi with several secret techniques into the Undying Battle Body’s spirit array. It was also with this secret technique that he jumped to the position of a Lingxiao Sect Traveler.

But as the saying goes, ‘the taller the tree, the fiercer the wind’, a common person without a bloodline trying to secure the position of a Traveler was far more difficult than it was for those with bloodline.

Because humans are the animals best at making excuses for themselves. If someone with a bloodline became a Lingxiao Sect Traveler, other disciples would attribute this achievement to external factors like bloodline or luck.

Comments like “Well, he is a bloodliner after all!” “He’s the descendant of a grandmaster, with a grandmaster personally guiding him, how could he not be strong?” “Who doesn’t know about their family’s abundance? With so many resources, even a Traveler could be built up.” Such remarks never ceased.

Yet Ji Chen’s rise to power had firmly slapped all Lingxiao Sect disciples in the face, taking away their opportunity to seek external excuses.

In terms of family background, he was merely the son of a Slaughter Immortal Army commander and had been sent to the Lingxiao Sect since he was young, living and training alongside other Ji Clan disciples.

Even the earth-level bloodline he awakened was just ninth-grade, barely better than nothing, but he still managed to suppress the high-grade bloodlined disciples of the sect through his superior understanding of martial arts.

Any Spirit Art performed by him always had a sense of turning decay into magic, and even the Undying Battle Body, a must-learn art of the Han Family, was practiced differently by him.

Though Ji Chen was in the limelight, criticisms never ceased in the shadows. Everyone felt that the Blood Dragon Yang Qi Art was solitary and extreme, deviating from the norm, strong in its own right but losing the inherent magnificence of the Undying Battle Body. While they did not say this to Ji Chen’s face, they would always grumble behind his back about rigidity not lasting, and the regrets of an unbridled dragon.

Many seemed convinced that Ji Chen’s fusion technique would encounter problems. Though he never responded to these voices, it had long troubled him. Yet Ji Chen was too proud, believing the power of facts to be a hundred times stronger than that of words.

The battle with Tang Luo, although suggested by several commanders of the Slaughter Immortal Army, also included his own wish to pit the Blood Dragon Yang Qi Art against Tang Luo to prove the worth of his technique.

He had not expected his opponent to pinpoint the essence of the fusion technique immediately. Such discernment naturally surprised Ji Chen.

With both hands clasped together, Ji Chen, transformed into a crimson giant, stated with a resonant voice, “People say that Tang Tianjiao is a once-in-a-millennium martial prodigy without equal, and today, seeing you in person, I see the reputation is well-deserved. Ji Chen admires you!”

“Being able to recognize isn’t anything remarkable. That you could think of such a method to enhance the Undying Battle Body is truly impressive,” Tang Luo looked Ji Chen up and down, clicking his tongue in wonder, “To develop Heart Fire Divine Storage to this extent is indeed unheard of. Coupled with the Blood Dragon formed from the fusion of Tengang Fighting Qi with essence blood, offensive and defensive as one, the Lingxiao Sect Traveler’s title is richly deserved!”

In matters of martial arts, Tang Luo was always objective and fair, never mixing in personal emotions. Judging only by what Ji Chen had displayed now, his battle prowess would not be inferior to that of Bu Lin, the Dao Child of Qilin Mountain, whom he had once met on Martial Saint Mountain—and that was just his first Divine Storage.

Warriors with such creativity, once they open their second and third Divine Storage, will definitely gain immense strength enhancement. It’s only right for such individuals to be praised.

“Tang Tianjiao is too generous with his praise,” Ji Chen said humbly, but his demeanor had softened considerably from when he first stepped onto the stage to challenge. However, his eyes still burned with an intense fighting spirit.

This put Tang Luo in a difficult position. It wasn’t that he couldn’t defeat Ji Chen, but to determine a winner against such a strong opponent would require a bloody and bruising fight, which would be quite unsightly!

He came to the Lingxiao Sect to seek out the Ji Clan on business, not to throw around his weight. After thinking for a moment, Tang Luo said to Ji Chen, “Ji Chen’s fusion of secret techniques has been an eye-opener for Tang. Coincidentally, Tang has also gained some insight into the method of force recently and created a punch. I’d like to ask for your appraisal.”

As he spoke, Tang Luo raised his fist. Merely the small motion of bending his arm and clenching his fist produced the roar of a dragon and the cry of a tiger, and the moment his fingers closed together, there was a thunderous noise as if shattering the heavens and the earth, even overpowering the Blood Dragon Giant’s drum-like heartbeat.

An expert is recognized as soon as he makes a move. As the youngest physical technique grandmaster in the world, Tang Luo’s fusion of three forces had become famous after the conclusion of the twentieth Longzhou Youth Martial Arts Competition. Everyone knew that Longzhou had produced an exceptionally outstanding physical technique grandmaster who specialized in the fusion of strong forces.

However, the punch Tang Luo was now demonstrating seemed slightly different from what the rumors suggested. Ji Chen could see that within that thick right arm, countless muscles appeared to contract consciously, like the tides, with alternating strength and weakness, an ebb and flow distinctive from the rigid tension that ordinary physical technique masters displayed before exerting their force.

This punch, which transcended common understanding, greatly piqued Ji Chen’s interest, and he couldn’t help but ask, “What is this?”

“This punch is the result of my research after entering Beimang. It’s still in its early stages, so I haven’t named it yet. Ji Chen, you are the first to experience it!”

It had only been a dozen days since he had realized the unity of yin and yang, but it had already overturned the martial arts understanding he had built up over twenty years. Although this punch was still nascent, it helped him understand that he was on the right path.

However, exploration like this ultimately requires a vast amount of time for validation. Therefore, this punch could currently only be applied to himself, and the preparation time was too long. It wasn’t suitable for real combat, but it was perfect for a friendly sparring match!

With countless emotions looking at his own fist, Tang Luo raised his voice to Ji Chen, “Since it’s a friendly exchange, we should naturally stop at the first touch. I’ll match a punch with you, and as long as you can still stand on the stage after taking this punch, you’ll be considered the winner. How about that?”

The disciples of the Lingxiao Sect watching around the Pan Yun Terrace were taken aback after hearing Tang Luo’s words. They could not believe that the First Divine Child of Ten Thousand Clans who had come from afar was so arrogant!

“Brother Ji Chen, accept his challenge. Show this arrogant lad how vast and profound the martial arts world is!”

“Brother, teach him a lesson, let him see the might of our Lingxiao Sect.”

Compared to the excited crowd at the foot of Pan Yun Terrace, Ji Chen’s face remained unchanged as he closely scrutinized Tang Luo.
