One Punch to Finish It

Si Ming was caught off guard. He was still thinking about how to imitate the martial arts in "Water Moon Precious Mirror" to wrestle with his opponent, but he didn't expect that his opponent would actually do this like Si Shuiyun.

However, he was thick-skinned and had the Jade-Clad Dharma Body to rely on. He was surprised but not flustered. He relaxed his right shoulder and sank down hard. His whole arm became soft and weak, as if it had no bones. He shifted his forearm diagonally, just enough to avoid the opponent's strongest drilling force from the front.

Then, his elbow suddenly snapped upwards, like a python striking the ground with its tail and leaping up a tree in a flash. His soft palm touched Guan Chong's wrist, and the palm force of the Ethereal Cloud and Mist Palm was released in the same direction, dissipating most of the force of the "Wind-Chasing Shuttle".

"Impressive skill, but unfortunately, the Internal Cultivation is too weak to neutralize the full force."

Guan Chong was overjoyed. Even though he only had less than 30% of his strength left, the spiral force was the most destructive. Even 30% of his strength was enough to penetrate the steel plate. He mustered all his remaining strength and struck Si Ming's side waist.

The next moment, a force rebounded, making Guan Chong's arm go numb and causing him to stagger backward. He barely managed to steady himself with his internal energy, his expression changing drastically as he blurted out, "Countercurrent Divine Gang!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in uproar once again, especially the women of the Si Clan, who were filled with disbelief. The Countercurrent Divine Gang was the highest level of martial arts recorded in the Water Moon Precious Mirror, which required extremely high innate physical qualities. Those below the Spirit Transformation had to possess both pure Yin and water attributes. After the passing of their ancestor Si Jingxi, only Si Jingyu in the Si Clan had mastered it, and they never expected that her younger brother would also learn it.

It was rather strange for a man to possess a pure Yin constitution, but when people thought that Si Ming was Si Jingyu's younger brother, they felt somewhat relieved. It was normal for siblings to have the same constitution, and people from aristocratic Aristocratic Clan were basically supporters of the theory of bloodline.

Only Si Ming knew that this was not some kind of Countercurrent Divine Gang, but rather the Primordial Chaos Extreme Thunder Movement. The difference was that what he rebounded was not a spiraling force, but a simple shock force. However, judging from Guan Chong's expression, he obviously failed to notice the difference.

This is not surprising. Only Si Jingyu has mastered the Countercurrent Divine Gang; Guan Chong has never even come into contact with it. It's difficult to confirm the truth based solely on hearsay. Theoretically, the Countercurrent Divine Gang reflects the original force, but he can't say for sure how it actually works. Perhaps it's just hearsay? Or maybe the other party hasn't even mastered it yet?

Having already assumed that Si Ming was a member of the Si Clan, Guan Chong didn't consider any other possibilities. He calmed himself and said in a deep voice, "No wonder you shouted out the ten-move limit. So this is where your confidence comes from. It's a pity that I cultivated the 'Innate Twelve Coils' precisely to deal with the 'Countercurrent Divine Gang' of the 'Water Moon Precious Mirror'."

He then stepped forward, no longer thinking of using unconventional methods, and honestly began to use the Innate Twelve Coils.

In fact, the Innate Twelve Coils can deal with the Countercurrent Divine Gang Primordial Chaos Extreme Thunder Movement. This is because the Countercurrent Divine Gang Force returns force, and if the opponent's attack is weak, the returned force will not cause any damage. However, the Primordial Chaos Extreme Thunder Movement is different. It returns a constant force. A punch can break a hand, and a finger can break a hand. The strength of the returned force is determined by the frequency of the vibration, and has nothing to do with how much force the opponent uses.

Unfortunately, in order to impersonate a member of the Si Clan, Si Ming had to suppress the Primordial Chaos Extreme Thunder Movement and use the Ethereal Cloud and Mist Palm in conjunction with the Spirit-Sacrificing Rain-Praying Yi Dance he had just learned from Si Shuiyun to deal with the situation.

The Ethereal Cloud and Mist Palm technique is complex and emphasizes the elusive nature of clouds and the unpredictability of smoke, which is very similar to the Mirror Flower Chapter in "Water Moon Precious Mirror". Therefore, neither Guan Chong nor the martial artists watching realized that Si Ming was using a deceptive tactic.

After all, this is not the era of martial arts world in the past. Back then, there weren't many famous martial arts, only a few dozen or so. The rest were third-rate skills. A determined person could memorize the characteristics of various famous martial arts and thus take on the role of "Wang Yuyan".

However, after the martial arts revolution, martial arts knowledge became open to everyone, resulting in a flourishing scene of diverse styles. Currently, the number of systematic martial arts in the Su State is over 80,000. Many of these movements and postures are common to many martial arts, making them difficult to distinguish even in written tests, let alone in actual combat. It should be noted that even the same set of martial arts will produce different results when practiced by different people, and there will be differences in the practice of the same movement.

The two locked hands, grappling and striking, each using every trick in the book to overpower the other.

In the first three moves, Si Ming was at a disadvantage. He was not very familiar with the Spirit-Sacrificing Rain-Praying Yi Dance he had just learned, and he lost his balance several times. Guan Chong grabbed his joints. If it were anyone else, they would probably have broken their hands and feet. But he withstood it with his strong body, which surprised Guan Chong thought it was the effect of the Countercurrent Divine Gang that had neutralized his Entangling Silk Dismantling Force.

After three moves, Si Ming became familiar with the moves and fought Guan Chong to a draw, creating a stalemate, just like the entanglement Guan Chong and Si Shuiyun.

In the last two moves, Si Ming finally gained the upper hand, but he was not happy at all.

Oh no, I underestimated this guy. We agreed on a ten-move limit. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I couldn't take him down?

Director, this script is wrong!

You're distracted!

Guan Chong roared and used the same trick again, borrowing Si Ming's strength and releasing it, sending the man flying.

However, Si Ming was not Si Shuiyun. He let out a low shout in mid-air, his arms shook, and the muscles on his back bulged as if a pair of wings were flapping. He suddenly made a ninety-degree turn and plummeted from the sky, crashing back to the center of the arena.

"Oh, that was close! You almost threw me off the court." Si Ming rubbed his shoulder.

Guan Chong's face stiffened for a moment, then relaxed, and he said, "Your martial arts talent is truly terrifying; you actually broke through in the heat of battle! Unfortunately, my Innate Twelve Coils have also been perfected; you can't possibly defeat me within ten moves."

Si Ming nodded in agreement, "Yes, in terms of skill, I might be slightly better than you. It's definitely impossible for me to defeat you in one move."

So, are you going to admit defeat? Or are you going to renege on your promise?

Guan Chong up, because if his opponent didn't accept the ten-move limit and continued fighting, he worried that he wouldn't have a chance of winning.

"No, I'm going to cheat."

Si Ming swung his left arm, then did some stretching exercises, and said, "I really don't like this fighting style. By the way, have you heard of the 'Divine Sight Illusory Observation Art'?"

"The secret breathing method of the Daoist School Embryonic Breathing Sect breathing school? The martial art that's known as the number one breathing method in the world?" Guan Chong didn't understand why the other party would suddenly bring this up.

"That's right. Someone told me that as long as you master the Divine Sight Illusory Observation Art, you can unleash ten times the power by using a special method of circulating Qi and Blood. But after trying it, I found that those quacks were just bragging. This breathing technique at most triples my power."

"So?"

"So you'd better hurry up and prepare your last words, so you can make a more stylish exit."

Si Ming took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, circulated his Qi and Blood, accelerated his metabolism, and activated the Divine Sight Illusory Observation Art.

Chapter 277 One Punch to the End

How powerful is Si Ming now?

Although he hasn't specifically trained his body in the past six months, don't forget that he's not even eighteen yet and is in the most vigorous stage of physical development. Even without targeted training, his strength has increased by 30% compared to six months ago.

The fully mastered Divine Sight Illusory Observation Art can triple his power, which means that when he unleashes his power, he is four times stronger than when he fought Lin Qingtong!

What kind of concept is this?

With her single arm now metallic, Lin Qingtong was able to suppress Zhu Hao, a veteran Nascent Spirit Transformation, in terms of strength. Four times the strength would make even those Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators who specialized in body refinement pale in comparison.

However, this is not Si Ming's strongest state. Don't forget that he also has a move called "Solar Prominence Eruption".

If the Divine Sight Illusory Observation Art enhances physical constitution by consuming Jing Essence, then the Solar Prominence Eruption Burst enhances physical constitution by consuming Qi Essence. The two do not conflict, and their effects can be stacked.

However, limited by his own Internal Cultivation, the increase brought to Si Ming by the Solar Prominence Eruption was not much, at most 1.5 times. With the Divine Sight Illusory Observation Art, he could instantly unleash his power to 4.5 times.

Of course, Si Ming couldn't use the Solar Prominence Eruption right now, since the effect of that move was too obvious. Even a fool could see that it was definitely not a martial art from the Water Moon Precious Mirror, and the entire Si Clan didn't even have a similar martial art. In comparison, the Divine Sight Illusory Observation Art was just a breathing method, at most causing muscles to bulge and Qi and Blood to flow faster, without any particularly noticeable signs on the outside.

Most importantly, the Divine Sight Illusory Observation Art is more than enough to deal with Guan Chong.

Guan Chong was somewhat aware of this as well. Even without any data for his reference, he could feel the aura emanating from Si Ming, which was like that of a prehistoric beast. His hair stood on end, and goosebumps rose on his skin. The sense of crisis, as if he were encountering a natural enemy, stimulated his biological instincts.
