Seeing Du Peng's hesitant, half-spoken expression.

Lu Yun did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"What Instructor Du said just now made a lot of sense. After observing the complete set of punches, I truly sensed many exquisite subtleties."

Du Peng nodded understandingly.

"At your current level, the Primordial Unity Fist is indeed far too difficult."

"But there is no need to belittle yourself."

"As long as you firmly remember those movements from earlier and ponder them often in your spare time, you will gain something in five or six years at the least, seven or eight years at the most."

"If you encounter anything difficult to understand, feel free to come ask me."

"How about this..."

"Tell me first which parts you completely failed to understand just now."

"I'll give you some pointers!"

Lu Yun was covered in black lines.

Parts he did not understand?

This set of punches was obviously very simple!

Before Du Peng could finish speaking, he hurriedly cut in.

"Instructor Du truly deserves to be an Innate Realm martial artist. That demonstration just now was simply breathtaking."

"How about this."

"Though I would not dare compare myself to Instructor Du, after observing just now, I have gained a small amount of insight into this set of punches."

"I would like to make a fool of myself by demonstrating it."

"If there is anything wrong, I will have to trouble Instructor Du to offer your guidance without reservation."

At this moment.

Lu Yun already had the profound essence of the Primordial Unity Fist firmly grasped in his heart.

As long as he spent a little more time practicing.

Then...

He would surely reach a higher realm very quickly.

Rather than listen to Du Peng chatter endlessly at the side, he might as well demonstrate it himself.

"What?"

"You just said... you want to demonstrate the fist technique yourself?"

Du Peng was clearly startled by Lu Yun's answer.

This was simply too absurd.

Could it be...

That Lu Yun's injuries some time ago had been so severe that his mind was no longer clear?

He actually dared to say something like that!

What kind of joke was this?

He could demonstrate it himself after only a few minutes?

This was utter nonsense!

Du Peng was certain that he had never displayed this set of punches before Lu Yun in the past.

Then...

Where had the other party gotten such confidence?

To think that after watching it just once, he had the ability to perform it on his own.

One had to know.

The Primordial Unity Fist was profound and extensive.

When Du Peng had first cultivated it, he had spent quite some time before he could barely remember all the moves.

However...

Actually performing it himself had only come much later.

As the saying went...

Knowing was easy; doing was hard!

Knowing was one thing, but knowing and being able to do it were entirely different matters.

For that very reason.

When he heard Lu Yun's answer.

Du Peng's reaction was absolute disbelief.

No one knew better than him just how difficult the Primordial Unity Fist was.

And based on what he knew of Lu Yun.

He was even more certain that Lu Yun could not possibly possess such heaven-defying talent.

If he could perform it after seeing it once, what use would there be for fist masters like them?

The only thing Du Peng found utterly baffling was why Lu Yun would make such a boast.

It was obviously so easy to expose.

However.

No matter how much Du Peng grumbled inwardly, he still slowly nodded, signaling that Lu Yun could begin now.

"Alright!"

Lu Yun replied respectfully with cupped fists, then.

Walked to the center of the open ground.

His eyelids lowered slightly as he quietly transferred the surging spiritual power within him into his qi sea dantian.

There was no helping it.

In just this short while.

He had already become an Innate Realm Mid-Stage expert, his strength evenly matched with Du Peng before him.

When he performed the fist technique later, if he allowed his spiritual power to burst forth, he feared he would overturn this entire clearing in an instant.

Moreover.

There was no need for him to reveal his true strength at this moment.

He only needed to follow his memories from earlier and demonstrate the Primordial Unity Fist in its entirety.

At that thought.

A sharp gleam flashed in Lu Yun's eyes.

Within his mind.

The scenes he had just watched continuously surfaced.

Every move and stance of the Primordial Unity Fist linked together in sequence like slow-motion footage.

The next second.

The five fingers of his right hand drew together, and his fist suddenly blasted out.

His figure flickered, tearing through the air.

His speed was so fast...

It was as though he had directly pierced through the emptiness ahead, instantly sending rings of ripples spreading through the air.

In the blink of an eye.

His afterimages filled all directions.

This was the first move of the Primordial Unity Fist.

Phantom-Eye Cloud Annihilation.

Although the movements of this move looked simple, it placed particular emphasis on three words: fast, precise, and ruthless.

Under normal circumstances.

A beginner could not possibly unleash this move's true might.

Yet.

Lu Yun not only brought the mysteries of this move into full play, but his speed had even surpassed its limits.

Du Peng, who witnessed it with his own eyes, nearly had his eyeballs fall out.

Immediately afterward.

He was completely dumbfounded!!!

He stared in terror at the youth before him, clenching his fists tightly as sweat soaked his back.

"No... impossible!"

"Could I have just had a hallucination?!"

"How could he be so fast?"

The sight before him made Du Peng's pupils contract sharply, his face filled with incredulous shock.

As an Innate Realm expert, how could he fail to see the mysteries within it?

But precisely because of that.

His scalp went numb.

"This..."

"Both the speed and strength have already reached flawless perfection."

"Even I simply cannot attain such a level!"

Although...

The Phantom-Eye Cloud Annihilation Lu Yun had just executed was almost no different from Du Peng's earlier movements.

Du Peng knew very clearly in his heart.

If all the tiny details were magnified for comparison, the two were as far apart as clouds and mud.

"How on earth..."

"Did he do it?"

Du Peng's face burned hot as he could not help muttering to himself.
