Upon hearing Li Xingkong agree to the duel, Tang Cheng immediately sat down opposite Li Xingkong and began to mobilize his Spiritual Qi.
Li Xingkong sat down cross-legged on the spot. Although he now controlled an countless amount of Spiritual Qi, it would be dishonest to use quantity to bully Tang Cheng.
Since we're going to fight, let's follow the existing rules. Li Xingkong with one hand, and a wisp of Spiritual Qi from his body circled his finger a few times before flying into the space where the two of them were sitting opposite each other.
Compared to Li Xingkong's effortless mastery of mobilizing Spiritual Qi, Tang Cheng was somewhat slow in doing so. After Li Xingkong controlled the Spiritual Qi Spiritual Qi to circulate several times, Tang Cheng's Spiritual Qi finally arrived at the arena at a leisurely pace.
"Ready? If you're ready, let's begin."
While controlling his Spiritual Qi, Li Xingkong still had time to chat, while Tang Cheng had already entered a state of manipulating his Spiritual Qi, his entire mind focused on Spiritual Qi. Faced with Li Xingkong's question, he could only subconsciously nod to indicate that he was ready.
"Alright, let's begin. I'll give you a few moves."
Li Xingkong controlled his Spiritual Qi to float to the opposite side of Tang Cheng, with a fist's distance between the two Spiritual Qi.
Upon hearing Li Xingkong say "start," Tang Cheng's eyes widened even more, and he looked as if he was holding back his strength. The Spiritual Qi he was controlling trembled slightly in place, as if it were gathering power. Then, like a bouncy launcher, the Spiritual Qi crashed into the Spiritual Qi controlled by Li Xingkong at an extremely fast speed.
Although it was a battle of Spiritual Qi, the connection between the Spiritual Qi provided an alternative sensory organ, controlling the charge of the Spiritual Qi. To Tang Cheng, it was as if he himself was charging forward.
This feeling of being personally involved in a battle is something no virtual game can provide.
The speed of the charge was very fast, and in the blink of an eye it was in front of Li Xingkong's Spiritual Qi. Just when they were about to collide, Li Xingkong controlled his Spiritual Qi and slightly flickered it, narrowly avoiding it.
Although the speed of the charge was indeed very fast, in Li Xingkong's eyes, it was nothing special.
Spiritual practice not only improves physical strength, but also affects one's sense of time.
For ordinary people, 1 second feels like it passes in the blink of an eye, but after cultivation, even 1 second can be stretched into a very long state of time in the eyes of a cultivator.
In their eyes, everything seemed to be in slow motion; what appeared fast to ordinary people seemed incredibly slow to them.
So while Tang Cheng's attacks might indeed be extremely fast and powerful to someone of the same level, to Li Xingkong, it was like a kindergarten child swinging his fists and feet at him.
Li Xingkong, and Tang Cheng was momentarily unable to control his strength. His Spiritual Qi, carrying the momentum he had accumulated along the way, rushed several more steps behind Li Xingkong's Spiritual Qi before finally stopping.
If Li Xingkong were to make a move at this moment, he wouldn't even need to exert any force; he would only need to push him in the direction of his charge, and he would be sent flying out of the arena.
Tang Cheng, who had stopped, did not move immediately. Instead, the Spiritual Qi he controlled spun around in place a few times, as if searching for Li Xingkong's location.
Li Xingkong couldn't help but chuckle. Although this guy controlled the movement of Spiritual Qi, he essentially treated Spiritual Qi as if it were a human body.
His field of vision wasn't 360 degrees; he controlled his Spiritual Qi's field of vision to the front, following the natural habits of the human body. No wonder he lost Li Xingkong's sight after attacking.
This makes dealing with Tang Cheng even easier; he can simply use the Shadow Concealment Step.
Under Li Xingkong's control, the speed of the Spiritual Qi he controlled was extremely fast. Even though Tang Cheng was currently observing from the perspective of Spiritual Qi, it was still very easy for Li Xingkong to create several afterimages in front of him purely by speed.
But using that speed to fight Tang Cheng would be pure bullying. Li Xingkong restrained his speed, trying to maintain a level of strength similar to Tang Cheng's.
Even so, after discovering Tang Cheng's weakness in vision, Li Xingkong could still easily use the Shadow Concealment Step technique to kite him.
The so-called "Shadow Concealment Step " is a technique that uses movement skills to keep oneself in the opponent's blind spot, achieving a visual invisibility effect.
Tang Cheng was clearly thrown off balance by Li Xingkong's actions. He used his Spiritual Qi to scan around several times but couldn't find Li Xingkong. He even suspected that Li Xingkong had already withdrawn his Spiritual Qi. However, while searching, he glanced at Li Xingkong and saw him looking at him with a mischievous smile. Tang Cheng then realized that Li Xingkong Li Xingkong definitely still there, but he just couldn't find him.
Understanding this, Tang Cheng quickly devised a plan. He used his Spiritual Qi to search everywhere. If he couldn't find Li Xingkong, he was probably hiding outside his field of vision. To find him, he needed to expand his field of vision.
In fact, Tang Cheng was not unaware that the vision of Spiritual Qi was all-round and without blind spots, but after trying it a few times, he found this all-round perspective quite uncomfortable. Most importantly, his brain struggled to process such images.
The human brain is accustomed to processing only the field of vision in front of it. Suddenly being given a field of vision with no blind spots to process can be quite difficult to accept, and looking at it for too long can cause dizziness.
Just like when I first played CF (Crossfire) as a kid, I was really enjoying it at first, but after a few hours, I would feel dizzy and lightheaded, as if I were sick.
It takes a considerable amount of time to get used to this change.
Seeing that Li Xingkong had found his weakness, Tang Cheng didn't care about anything else. He gritted his teeth and turned on full-view mode.
Once his vision cleared, he discovered that Li Xingkong's Spiritual Qi was not far behind him, only a few steps away.
Having found the source of Li Xingkong's Spiritual Qi, Tang Cheng was no longer flying around like a headless fly. This time, instead of charging straight ahead, he drew an arc in his attack route, trying to conceal his offensive intentions.
Li Xingkong didn't dodge; he simply stood still and waited for Tang Cheng to rush over.
The Spiritual Qi figure controlled by Tang Cheng changed its trajectory several times in the air, and finally crashed into Li Xingkong's location after getting close.
Li Xingkong controlled his Spiritual Qi without dodging, standing straight in place and taking the attack head-on.
Although Tang Cheng's attack had some force, the momentum it carried was dispersed during the process of changing its trajectory due to the multiple changes in its trajectory. Ultimately, this force could not shake the Spiritual Qi controlled by Li Xingkong.
"The idea is good, but the force isn't enough. Look at this."
Li Xingkong was about to make his move. Although he had deliberately kept his control at a level similar to Tang Cheng's, Li Xingkong was still superior in his understanding of Spiritual Qi manipulation.
Without creating distance or using any fancy footwork to deceive the enemy, Li Xingkong's controlled Spiritual Qi merely trembled a few times before crashing directly into the Spiritual Qi clinging to him.
It didn't seem intimidating at all, and the impact looked rather light. Tang Cheng hadn't taken it seriously at first, but it wasn't until he was hit that he realized what it meant to be out of control.
The impact caused Tang Cheng to hallucinate, feeling as if he were walking down the street and being hit and thrown by a Dayun at 120 miles per hour.
Although he was trying his best to control and manipulate his Spiritual Qi, his manipulation seemed to be completely useless.
The Spiritual Qi was sent flying backward at a speed several times faster than his charge, flying out of the arena and crashing directly onto the Moon-Embracing Mountain dozens of meters away.
