Seeking Martial Dao in All Reborn Lives
Chapter 173 - 171: 1 Move
"So you’re saying that in this match, this Martial Artist named Zhao Xuanqi is actually the underdog?"
"That’s not good. I’ve heard that the Neon Martial Dao, with its integration of Secret Medicines, already has an advantage against those at the same level. If his level is lower, he’s far more likely to lose than win."
"This is the first match between the Divine Land and Neon in this tournament. Looks like we might not be off to a good start."
"..."
The patrons in the teahouse broke into a flurry of discussion after hearing the shop assistant’s analysis.
Judging from his surface-level record alone, Zhao Xuanqi’s performance wasn’t exactly stellar for a competition of this caliber.
"Everyone, the outcome of a match is hard to predict. We’re just offering a bit of analysis. We won’t know the real result until they’ve fought. Regardless, please support our Divine Land Martial Artist," the shop assistant said.
Meanwhile, it wasn’t just the people of the Divine Land paying attention. Spies from the Great Powers and the Warlords were also watching this fight closely.
The first battle between the Divine Land and Neon.
"Zhao Xuanqi from the Zhen Nan Chamber of Commerce? The Martial Artist who killed Hua Jingcheng?"
The Martial Artists from Neon, however, had heard of Zhao Xuanqi’s name.
Hua Jingcheng, the inheritor of the Feather Thought Style, wasn’t the strongest among the Ten Schools and Nine Paths Inheritors, but he was still quite skilled. Anyone capable of killing him couldn’t be weak.
However, Ooyama Katsuhisa’s strength surpassed Hua Jingcheng’s.
’We’ll just have to see what this man is capable of.’
On the stage, Zhao Xuanqi and his opponent stood facing each other.
Ooyama Katsuhisa stood about 2.2 meters tall. His physique was exceptionally burly, his features coarse, and his bone structure sharp and prominent. He was covered in thick hair, his palms were frighteningly large, and his arms extended past his knees. At a glance, he looked just like a giant gorilla.
"So Hua Jingcheng of the Feather Thought Style died at your hands?" Ooyama Katsuhisa asked, sizing up the man before him.
"That’s right. Are you here for revenge?" Zhao Xuanqi’s expression was calm.
"He may have been a waste of space, but he was still a member of my Neon Profound Ocean Society. If I get the chance, I’ll be sure to beat you to death. It’ll be a good lesson for these sheltered Divine Land folk on the methods of our Neon Martial Dao."
A grin spread across Ooyama Katsuhisa’s lips, his eyes filled with vicious killing intent.
This was the first battle between the Divine Land Martial Dao and the Neon Martial Dao since the tournament began. He didn’t just want to win; he wanted to beat his opponent to death to showcase the might of the Neon Martial Dao.
"Is that so? I’ll be waiting to see it."
Zhao Xuanqi remained impassive, completely unfazed.
DONG!!
Just then, the deafening sound of a bronze gong rang out, signaling the official start of the match. Countless spectators felt their hearts tighten.
The grin on Ooyama Katsuhisa’s face grew more and more savage.
BOOM!!
The Qi and Blood in his body surged, and his form suddenly swelled. Covered by the Qi Surge, his already tall figure became even more imposing.
However, that wasn’t the end of it.
VMM!!
His entire body began to vibrate faintly. His pores tightened, and the hair all over his body stood on end. His body actually expanded once more, and this time, the degree of expansion was even more terrifying than the previous Qi Surge.
His height instantly shot past two and a half meters, perhaps even reaching two-point-six or two-point-seven meters!
Among all the opponents Zhao Xuanqi had ever faced, not a single one could compare to this man in terms of sheer physical size.
HFF!! HFF!!
Each of his breaths formed a pillar of white vapor that struck the stage floor and burst apart.
The air around him also began to distort, as if his body were enveloped in a thin film.
Gang Qi Protection!
The crowd erupted in an uproar!
Not even Zhao Xuanqi had ever seen such a terrifying physical transformation, let alone the countless spectators watching from the surrounding teahouses. Even from a great distance, everyone could feel a scalp-tingling pressure.
"Can a human body even get that big?!"
"How much strength must he have? What terrifying explosive power?!"
"..."
The crowd burst into gasps of astonishment.
But a hint of interest appeared in Zhao Xuanqi’s eyes.
’This physique... it doesn’t look like the effect of surging Qi and Blood or tensed muscles. It’s as if every cell in his body has been completely activated and expanded.’
’The Body of Fluctuation!’
This was the unique method of the Fluctuation Vacuum Dao!
The true Profound Technique of the Fluctuation Vacuum Dao lay in the word "fluctuation."
This Secret Transmission held that the power and explosive force of the human body originated from the fluctuations of life, a deep-seated resonance.
The Profound Technique of a Fist Technique.
The heart unites with Intent, Intent unites with Qi, and Qi unites with Force.
When throwing a punch, the force from the hands, feet, waist, hips, and arms all unite as one.
These were all manifestations of fluctuation and resonance.
If one could grasp the secret of fluctuation, they could bring their body into a state of extreme coordination, unleashing their Physical Ability to its absolute limit through these fluctuations.
After the Neon Martial Dao entered the era of Secret Medicine, the Fluctuation Vacuum Dao found the ability that best suited its School.
The control of bio-electricity.
Through this method, when one’s practice of the Fluctuation Vacuum Dao reached a high level, they could use bio-electricity to stimulate their entire body, even down to the cellular level. This stimulation would fully activate the body, allowing it to unleash unimaginable Physical Ability.
And Ooyama Katsuhisa was an outstanding prodigy of the Fluctuation Vacuum Dao. He was born with a terrifyingly robust constitution, able to lift a two-hundred-jin stone lock with one hand at the age of twelve. With the support of such a strong physical foundation, the potential he could unleash through the Body of Fluctuation was even more frightening.
