This Was Too Easy

Chapter 7: This Was Too Easy. In an instant.

Du Peng suddenly shouted. His clothes billowed, and even the air buzzed and trembled.

The spiritual energy within his qi sea and dantian abruptly began climbing higher and higher at an almost frenzied pace!

Right after that.

The Primordial Fist unfolded...

Fist shadows filled the sky like a furious wind and torrential rain, incomparably fierce.

Lu Yun stood quietly to one side, his eyes unblinking as he caught every subtle movement of the figure in the arena.

Just then.

Without any warning.

A crisp system notification quietly rang beside his ear.

[ Ding! Detected that the host is observing the Primordial Fist... ]

[ Fist technique experience +1 ]

[ Congratulations, host! 100x critical strike triggered, fist technique experience +100 ]

"Hiss..."

"No way?"

"Just watching someone else demonstrate a martial skill can trigger a hundredfold critical strike?!"

In an instant.

Lu Yun could hardly believe his own ears.

After a brief moment of distraction.

A trace of wild joy appeared in his eyes.

"Haha!"

"I was originally planning to practice after going back, but I didn't expect this would work too!"

"If this pace continues, I might only need to watch it once to completely comprehend all the fist intent."

"Little Lu, what's wrong? Was I too fast when performing the fist technique, so you didn't have time to see it clearly?"

While demonstrating, Du Peng happened to catch Lu Yun's expression from the corner of his eye and assumed Lu Yun had failed to keep up with the rhythm of the fist technique.

"Mm... It's nothing... Master Du, don't mind me. Just continue demonstrating the moves that follow."

Lu Yun immediately came back to his senses, though his expression still looked somewhat strange.

Du Peng found it hard to say anything more.

He merely sighed inwardly:

"Young people these days really would rather die than lose face. Look at Little Lu's bewildered expression—he clearly didn't understand a thing!"

However.

Since he had promised Lu Yun that he would demonstrate the Primordial Fist in its entirety, he did not dwell on it too much.

Very soon...

He refocused his attention on demonstrating the moves ahead.

Astonishing fist winds erupted once more.

This time...

Du Peng deliberately wanted Lu Yun to witness the true might of the Primordial Fist.

And he also harbored a slight intention of making him retreat in the face of difficulty.

Therefore...

As he performed the fist technique, not only did he not slow down in the slightest, he even used a triple amplification.

The pressure in the surroundings instantly grew stronger, and even the void trembled faintly.

It was like the surface of a lake that had originally been calm as a mirror, where rings of ripples began to spread almost imperceptibly.

Almost at the same time.

As Du Peng resumed performing the fist technique, the system notifications rose and fell once again.

[ Ding! Detected that the host is observing the Primordial Fist... ]

[ Fist technique experience +1 ]

[ Congratulations, host! 100x critical strike triggered, fist technique experience +100 ]

[ Ding! Detected that the host is observing the Primordial Fist... ]

[ Fist technique experience +1 ]

[ Congratulations, host! 100x critical strike triggered, fist technique experience +100 ]

About seven or eight minutes later.

Du Peng finally finished demonstrating the final move, Heavenly Body Hanging Upside Down, and slowly came to a stop.

At this point.

He had demonstrated every move of the Primordial Fist from beginning to end.

He raised a hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, then looked toward Lu Yun in the distance, who seemed somewhat absent-minded.

"How was it, Little Lu? How much of this fist technique do you think you understood?"

"I know you must have plenty of questions in your heart, but there's no need to feel discouraged or disappointed."

"With your current martial attainments, even catching a glimpse of this fist technique's surface is indeed a little too early."

Du Peng spoke for quite a while, but seeing Lu Yun still looking utterly lost, he could not help shaking his head inwardly.

I should have slowed down my moves a little.

Or perhaps.

I did not need to demonstrate the entire set at all.

Back then.

When he cultivated this fist technique, he had suffered no small amount himself.

Lu Yun was merely at the Body Tempering Realm, and his injuries had yet to fully heal.

In such a short time.

Let alone comprehending a high-grade Yellow-rank martial skill, even forcefully memorizing every move would be asking too much.

Besides.

Looking across all human bases on Sky Net Star, based on Du Peng's past interactions with him, a genius of Lu Yun's caliber could at most be considered C-rank.

One had to know.

Since the era of spiritual energy resurgence, geniuses born on this planet had been as numerous as the sands of the Ganges.

A mere C-rank genius was nothing at all.

When Du Peng was young, he had been rated B-rank in the martial artist assessment.

But.

What use had that been?

He had still spent several years, and even now had only reached the third level.

Unless you were an A-rank... or even an S-rank genius.

Otherwise.

In such a short span of time.

It was simply impossible to grasp the essence of a high-grade Yellow-rank cultivation technique.

"Whew~"

"Is it over?"

While Du Peng's thoughts were running wild.

Lu Yun, who stood to one side, let out a long breath.

Before he knew it.

The system notifications that had been ringing one after another in his mind finally came to a stop.

A nearly transparent attribute panel also popped up on its own at that moment.

Host: Lu Yun

System Activation, First Stage: 100x Critical Strike Amplification

Martial Skills: Thousand Mountains Saber Technique (lv7 100%), Primordial Fist (lv4 39%)

Strength Level: Mid-Innate Realm

"Holy shit!"

"This is way too easy!"

"In just a few minutes, I... actually advanced again!"
