"It was a fragmentary manual called the Black Fiend Skill." Lu Sheng did not hide this. After all, it was a secret manual one could buy at an auction. Though mysterious to ordinary people, it should not have been much to those within the circle.
Sure enough, upon hearing the name of the technique, Li Shunxi frowned slightly.
"Isn't the Black Fiend Skill a body-tempering inner technique? I have indeed heard it has a fire toxin effect. But that little fire toxin can only raise a few blisters on the skin. With power like yours, Brother Lu, it can kill a Corpse Spirit? How much inner force would that consume?"
At his words, Lu Sheng immediately recalled how he differed from other inner-force experts.
After hesitating, he asked softly.
"I wonder, brother Li, if you strike with all your strength, how many moves can you unleash?"
"With all my strength, naturally one move?" Li Shunxi gave him a strange look. "The inner force of the entire body surges out and is released in one blow. Naturally, that consumes all one's inner force. If one wishes to strike again afterward, one must wait to recover one's breath. Isn't that basic common sense?"
Lu Sheng was stunned to hear it.
"Then how long does brother Li need to recover his breath?"
"Half an hour of meditation, I suppose. What is it? Isn't everyone like that?" Li Shunxi answered casually.
Lu Sheng immediately understood the difference between himself and others.
Ever since he had cultivated several inner techniques to great mastery at once, his inner breath had flowed endlessly whenever he attacked. Even striking at full strength, he could continue for more than a dozen moves before needing to recover his breath. And when recovering, he also had Yin-Yang Guiding to replenish him.
