"My Mental Power can now be weakly emitted. If attached to my fist - can it be used as a means of assisting perception to enhance my combat ability?"

Once this thought comes together, it becomes difficult to contain it.

Chen Mochuan has always been a person who does whatever comes to his mind. Once he has an idea, he must verify it immediately.

At the moment when Li Cheng was once again close to each other and their fists and feet were intertwined, Chen Mochuan concentrated his mind and tried to carefully release a wisp of invisible and qualityless Mental Power, like the thinnest sensory film, accurately wrapping it around the fist that was about to collide with the opponent.

The moment Mental Power left the body, a subtle feeling of peeling off and a continuous weak feeling of consumption came, making him have to devote more attention to maintaining this state.

In the first attempt, due to distraction, Chen Mochuan had a slight delay in judging Li Cheng's follow-up punch. He was almost hit in the shoulder by the heavy swinging punch, and in a hurry, he could only block with his arms.

Li Cheng Although Chen Mochuan felt that Chen Mochuan's response at that moment was a little slow, but the battle was changing rapidly, so he didn't think too much, and the offensive became more and more fierce.

Chen Mochuan Steady your mind and immediately start the second attempt.

During the fight, his fist wrapped around Mental Power collided with Li Cheng's muscular forearm.

A wonderful feeling came at the moment of contact. Although it was extremely vague, at that electric moment, the Mental Power that was played out seemed to fluctuate slightly, and there was an indescribable feedback.

Chen Mochuan seemed to "see" the flow of Qi and blood in Li Cheng's arms and the movement of Spirit Power, and felt a certain unique rhythm when his muscles tensed and exerted force instantly.

His spirit was refreshed, a sense of enlightenment and excitement surged in his heart, he concentrated all his attention, and continued to conduct verification in the fierce attack and defense.

After several attempts, Chen Mochuan gradually figured out a few tricks.

He controlled the range of the external Mental Power to the extreme distance that was almost close to his own skin, so as to sense the most subtle changes in the opponent's body at the moment of contact with the opponent's body.

This allowed him to have a more accurate grasp of Li Cheng's power explosion point, center of gravity transfer trajectory, and even the transition gap between Spirit Power's energy and blood when his old strength was exhausted and new strength was yet to be generated, rather than relying solely on his eyesight, combat intuition, and physical reactions.

This is not about predicting the enemy's opportunity, but more like mastering a unique "touch" that allows him to judge the opponent's current status faster and more accurately during the confrontation, so as to make better responses.

This discovery makes Chen Mochuan even more powerful.

He began to consciously use this newly understood "Mental Touch". He no longer blindly pursued suppressing the opponent, but continued to test and contact through attacks, carefully sensing and analyzing the rhythm, strength and regularity of the flow of Qi and blood in Li Cheng's body and the operation of Spirit Power.

Finally, in a fierce collision of fists and legs, Li Cheng was unable to attack for a long time and consumed a lot of energy and blood. At the moment when the surging energy and blood in the body retreated and accumulated strength, and the flow of Spirit Power with new strength, there was an extremely short, subtle and almost negligible transition gap and stagnation.

This stagnation was so short that even Li Cheng himself might not be aware of it, but it was keenly captured by Mental Power, which was emitted by Chen Mochuan.

Fighter plane, fleeting!

Chen Mochuan's steps changed, Wind Tiger Movement's "speed" exploded with all its strength, and its body instantly cut into Li Cheng's side like a ghost.

At the same time, his right fist, which he had not fired, was like a spring that had already been filled with power, and suddenly struck out when there was no time to fire.

This punch seemed ordinary and without any amazing momentum, but it was extremely fast and extremely accurate.

This is Chen Mochuan's perfect timing and a straight punch that reduces complexity to simplicity.

The path of the fist refers not to Li Cheng's tightly guarded chest and abdomen, nor to his thick arms, but to the tiny opening at the junction between the side of his neck and his shoulders when his center of gravity is slightly floating due to the force exerted by his whip legs.

Li Cheng's heart was ringing with alarms and his scalp was numb. He didn't expect that the other party could seize this tiny flaw that was so fleeting that he himself might not even be aware of it.

He wanted to twist his body to block, wanted to muster up his energy and blood to resist, but his body was at an awkward point where the old strength was gone and the new strength was not yet regenerated, so his reaction was a little slow after all.

All he could do was to tighten the muscles in his neck to the limit, preparing to resist the inevitable blow.

However, the expected blow that was enough to injure his neck and even cause him to faint temporarily did not come.

The fist stopped firmly the moment it was about to touch the skin of his neck.

The fierce wind of the fist made the hairs on his neck stand on end, and a needle-like tingling sensation came to his skin, making all his subsequent movements completely frozen and unable to move.

All movements, wind sounds, and collisions suddenly stopped at this moment.

Time seems to have frozen at this moment.

Until the point is reached, the winner is decided.

Cao Chuyue and others, who were watching from a distance, witnessed the final scene where the winner was decided in a flash of lightning. Although they were not clear about the specific details, the situation on the field explained everything.

Everyone has a more intuitive and profound understanding of the strength of this "Chief Northern Academy".

It turns out that the difference can be so clearly reflected in the absolute control of the battle rhythm.

Li Cheng turned his head slightly, looked at the motionless fist that was stopped an inch in front of his neck, and felt the threat that was so close at hand, silent but fierce.

Then he raised his eyes and looked at Chen Mochuan, whose breathing was steady and his eyes were clear and calm.

The bravery and boiling fighting spirit on his face slowly faded away. First there was a look of shock, then it turned into relief, and finally there was a look of unabashed admiration and admiration.

He knew very well that at that moment, if Chen Mochuan had not withdrawn his strength, this seemingly ordinary punch could accurately cut into the weakest point of his defense, causing him to temporarily lose his combat effectiveness and even suffer serious trauma.

Seeing that Chen Mochuan had slowly withdrawn his fist, Li Cheng slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and completely relaxed his tense body. He shook his head with a wry smile, clasped his fists and said, "Good punch! Good control! I lost, and I am convinced! Brother Chen, you, Northern Academy chief, deserve your title!"

Chen Mochuan smiled slightly, clasping his fists in return, and said in a calm and sincere tone, "Brother Li, your Hard-Body Training kung fu is really impressive. Your strong punches are intimidating, and I have benefited a lot."

This is not a courtesy. The battle with Li Cheng, especially the process of trying to use Mental Power's external auxiliary perception, gave him a new understanding of the application of his own power and the grasp of the rhythm of the battle.

Li Cheng touched his neck, which seemed to be tingling a little, and laughed loudly and heartily without any grudges, "Haha, it's agreed that I, Li Cheng, will be your friend! Let's add a friend, and then we can discuss things on Heaven Martial Battle Net when we are free. Don't bother me!"

He knew very well that with the strength Chen Mochuan showed today, even if he went to Heaven Martial Battle Net, who had no restrictions or worries and could use all his killer moves, it would be difficult for him to defeat the opponent.

But no matter what, even if he lost the battle just now, it made him see some of his own shortcomings clearly, and he gained a lot.

We must seize this rare opportunity and compete frequently with such an opponent. This will be of great benefit to both parties in improving their martial arts. It is a win-win situation.

Chen Mochuan readily agreed and added Personal Terminal as a friend to the other party. Remembering that the other party had a good body Hard-Body Training, he suggested. "Brother Li, since you and I both practice Hard-Body Training, we need to do rowing and beating every day to strengthen our muscles and bones. It is always inconvenient to practice alone. It is better to help each other and take turns to row for each other. The efficiency must be higher."

Li Cheng's eyes lit up and he immediately clapped his hands in agreement. "That's great, I've been worried about this! In the past few days, I have been using robots to assist platooning. It's too rigid, and the effect is always a bit disappointing - it's rare to meet someone who is of the same mind, or a master like you, I will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, that's it!"

A sudden but hearty discussion came to an end.

Morning Star No. 1 On the bluestone road in front of the courtyard of the villa, two teenagers who were quite sympathetic to each other looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, several onlookers with different thoughts in the distance dispersed quietly one by one. Among them, Cao Chuyue's footsteps seemed to be a little heavier.

"Brother Li, how about we go inside and sit down, have a drink of water, and then we start playing together?" Chen Mochuan sent the invitation.

Li Cheng touched the back of his head with some embarrassment. "Brother Chen, I was too busy to challenge you before, and I forgot to go to my residence to register and confirm first. I have to go over there to deal with it first. I'll come find you when it's done. Soon!"

Watching the other party quickly walk to the adjacent villa, Chen Mochuan then turned his attention to Golden Light Screen, and the above few lines of new prompts slowly emerged:

[You encountered a well-matched opponent, experienced a high-quality battle and won the battle, and gained a deeper understanding and appreciation of your own martial arts.]

[Hundred Beasts Fist: Proficiency(40%)→Proficiency(41%)]

[Wind Tiger Movement: Mastery(24%)→Mastery(26%)]

"Sure enough, actual combat is the best catalyst."

The battle with Li Cheng, especially the final process of using "Mental Touch" to capture the fighter plane, gave him more experience in the use of "power" and the grasp of "speed".

His current personal situation has made a big leap compared to when he participated in College Entrance Exam. His mind moved slightly, and more detailed data appeared in front of him:

[Spirit Master: Chen Mochuan]

[Status: full of energy and blood, full of spirit and vitality]

[Spirit Talent: Spirit Devourer (can swallow all things Spiritual Essence, gain oneself)]

[Blood-Qi Value:37.03]

[Mental Power:74.82]

[Sun-Forging Heaven-Burning Visualization Method: Initiation(59%)]

[Taiyin Moon-Congealing Visualization Method: Initiation(59%)]

[Spirit Pivot Primordial Stance: Second level (22%)]

After briefly browsing his status, Chen Mochuan turned around and came to the door of Morning Star No. 1.

"Iris verification successful----identity confirmed----"

A soft female voice sounded, "Chen Mochuan, welcome to your new home. I am your smart housekeeper Xiaoyun. I am happy to serve you."

The door of the villa opened silently, and at the same time, strands of light yellow light gathered at the entrance, quickly outlining a virtual projection of a woman wearing Yunhan Martial Arts University standard martial arts uniform, with a friendly face and a smile.

"In the future, during your studies, I will take care of all the daily affairs of the Morning Star No. 1 villa for you. Whether it is cleaning and maintenance, or your dietary arrangements, item organization, and information reminders, I will do my best to provide you with the best service to ensure that you have a comfortable and convenient living and practicing environment----"

After Xiaoyun's concise introduction, Chen Mochuan has a general understanding of the functions of this smart housekeeper and finds it very convenient.

This is obviously arranged by the school so that students like them can be freed from the trivial matters of life to the greatest extent and devote themselves to practice and study. It is very considerate.

It was close to noon at this time, and Li Cheng had another fierce battle just now. Chen Mochuan felt a little hungry, so he looked at the electronic recipe provided by Xiaoyun.

Yunhan Martial Arts University is perfect in terms of life support. As long as it does not involve the limited ration of Ferocious Beast meat or expensive ingredients, the school provides free and open daily basic meals to all students, and the categories are rich and can be freely mixed.

Chen Mochuan directly ordered a sumptuous lunch that suited his taste and was full of portions.

After thinking about it, I ordered another identical dish. Maybe Li Cheng will come over soon and we can have a meal together. Even if the other party has already eaten, the extra can be saved for dinner and it will never be wasted.

After ordering the meal, Chen Mochuan had time to carefully look at the "new home" where he would live in the next few years.

The villa has three floors. The two floors above ground are the main living spaces. The decoration style is simple. Although it is not as luxurious and exquisite as the villa Li Xingke gave him in Antu, it is still very practical.

He does not have high requirements for material life, so these conditions have far exceeded expectations and he is very satisfied. After all, his primary goal in coming to Yunhan Martial Arts University is to practice and become stronger, not to enjoy.

On the underground floor is the multifunctional Martial Arts Room specially built for spiritual practice. The facilities here are more professional and advanced than the Martial Arts Room at Songcheng's home, and there are many devices specially provided by Yunhan Martial Arts University.

In particular, there was a large light well that opened into the ground, allowing the light of the sun and moon to shine in, assisting Chen Mochuan's practice, and he was very satisfied with it.

After carefully looking around the villa up and down, Chen Mochuan was preparing to practice in Martial Arts Room. Light and shadow gathered in front of his eyes, and the shadow of Xiaoyun appeared again. "Your classmate Li Cheng is visiting and is waiting outside the courtyard. He has applied to enter the villa. Are you allowed to enter?"

"Bring him directly to my place." Chen Mochuan ordered.

"Okay." Xiaoyun's shadow bowed slightly, then disappeared, and at the same time, the sound of opening the door sounded from upstairs.

Soon, the tall figure of Li Cheng appeared at the door of Martial Arts Room and said with a smile, "Brother Chen, don't tell me that this smart butler is really convenient."

"Indeed." Chen Mochuan nodded, "Without further ado, let's start the fight now."

Li Cheng naturally wanted it, so he immediately geared up and nodded repeatedly. "Okay! I can't wait for a long time! Brother Chen, don't be soft, my body can be beaten!"

Although the two of them practice different Hard-Body Training exercises, the most basic method of strengthening muscles and bones by rowing and beating has the same principles and no essential difference.

At that moment, the two of them took off their shirts, revealing their muscular bodies.

Li Cheng's muscle lines are as carved as a chisel, especially the back muscles are extremely developed; Chen Mochuan's body shape is more well-proportioned and slender, and the muscles are smooth and not stretched.

They alternately beat each other, Chen Mochuan moves Neutralizing Force, and the palms and fingers are patted, hit, kneaded, or shaken, and the force penetrates evenly, which can effectively stimulate Li Cheng's skin and muscles without causing hidden injuries. At the same time, they carefully feel the strength of the opponent's muscles and bones and the characteristics of the blood circulation, and have a more intuitive understanding of <Iron Spine Hard-Body Formula> in their hearts.

This Hard-Body Training, which is equally excellent, pays more attention to the tempering of muscles, bones, skin and flesh, and is even stronger than <Tiger Roar Body-Forging Technique> in this regard. This was evident from the defensive power of Li Cheng in the previous battle.

But the more comprehensive <Tiger Roar Body-Forging Technique>, through Sonic Internal Vibration Method's training of the internal organs, is better than <Iron Spine Hard-Body Formula>.

Generally speaking, these two Hard-Body Trainings can be said to be good at each, and there is no obvious difference between them.

Different from Chen Mochuan's volleyball, Li Cheng's volleyball was more vigorous. The fist fell with a banging sound and the force was solid. Chen Mochuan also felt soreness, numbness, swelling and pain, but the blood flow was more active.

Both of them are martial arts geniuses, and they understand each other by analogy. During the fight with each other, they also exchanged a few key points and experiences of Hard-Body Training practice from time to time, and both felt that they had gained a lot.

After more than an hour, they felt that today's fighting intensity was enough, so the two stopped one after another.

After breaking away from the focused practice state and relaxing, the two people's stomachs immediately began to "gurgling" in unison, and the sound was particularly clear in the quiet Martial Arts Room.

The two looked at each other for a moment, then laughed at the same time.
