The Right Path, the Wrong Path
Bai Yushan's mind was completely emptied at this moment, and the previous regret, probing, and calculation of gains and losses were gradually peeled away from his mind.
As distracting thoughts faded and his mind sank to its lowest point, a powerful and unrestrained aura slowly seeped from his very bones, growing stronger and stronger.
He didn't know how much time had passed when he suddenly opened his eyes.
What came into view was no longer the familiar dormitory walls and moonlight, but a boundless expanse of white.
There was no solid ground beneath my feet, no sky above my head, and nothing around me but pure white. It was so quiet that even my heartbeat was exceptionally clear.
"Oh."
A sneer came from ahead.
Bai Yushan looked up and saw a figure exactly like his slowly emerge dozens of meters away.
Same height, same black hair, same facial features, the only difference is that the person was surrounded by pure blue-white electricity, and his eyes were cold and rigid, like a stubborn piece of iron that only believed in the law.
The man stood with his hands behind his back, blue-white arcs of electricity crackling at his fingertips. His tone was full of rebuke and disdain. "I thought you could hold out for long, but you couldn't control yourself so quickly. Instead of using this upright Electric Current Push you, you turned to chasing after some unorthodox, domineering Haki, practicing some fancy martial arts. You've completely missed the point!"
"The path of the Sea Tiger, the path of the Martial God of War, is already etched in your mind. As long as you follow the Electric Current Push upwards, break through to the Magnetic Field Rotation, you will have control over all things in heaven and earth, and no one in the world will be your match. Yet you insist on taking the long way around to pick up those useless things!"
Bai Yushan laughed after hearing this.
He laughed wildly and unrestrainedly, a madness surging in his eyes, and arcs of black and red electricity flickering at his fingertips.
"A shoddy imitation has the right to question my decision?"
He took a step forward, his aura rising steadily. "Whether it's Electric Current Push or Haki, the Five Beast Way, the Thunder Way, or Martial Soul Skill, they are all blades in my hand. Whether a blade is useful or not depends on who wields it and how I want to use it."
"My ascent to the highest place will never be Electric Current Push."
"It is because I am about to ascend to the highest realm that the Electric Current Push is propelling me!"
"Someone who can't even distinguish between primary and secondary tasks is qualified to teach me how to do things?"
Before the words were even finished, the two of them moved simultaneously.
Without any unnecessary probing, the first move was a killing blow.
Blue-white electricity and black-red lightning exploded simultaneously, and the two figures collided abruptly in the pure white space.
Tiger Roar Mountain-Crushing Fist
The man opposite clenched his right fist, a powerful force wrapped in blue-white electricity, and aimed it straight at Bai Yushan's face. The wind from the punch howled, tearing the air apart.
Bai Yushan neither dodged nor evaded, but instead unleashed a punch of his own, black and red lightning coiling around the tiger-shaped force, taking the blow head-on.
Bang--!
The moment their fists collided, a violent current exploded outwards, creating visible ripples in the pure white space.
Both men took a half step back at the same time. The flesh on their fists was instantly scorched black by the electric current, but was repaired in an instant by their cell regeneration abilities, returning them to their original state.
Without stopping, the opponent stepped forward, his fingertips close together like a beak, aiming straight for Bai Yushan's throat.
Crane Beak Void-Breaking Peck.
Bai Yushan flipped his wrist, his ape-like arm stretched out, and precisely grabbed the other's wrist, pulling it to the side.
Ape-Arm Star-Plucking Hand
In the instant of using the opponent's force against them, he raised his knee and thrust it hard into his opponent's waist and abdomen with tremendous force.
Bear Palm Mountain-Shaking Strike
The man reacted extremely quickly, pressing down with his other hand to block the knee strike, while simultaneously striking Bai Yushan's temple with his elbow.
The two figures moved in close succession, each move aimed at the vital points. The five types of energy from the Five Beast Way were switched between in their hands with fluid grace: the tiger's strength, the deer's speed, the bear's heaviness, the ape's skill, and the crane's sharpness. Each move was seamlessly connected without the slightest pause.
Click--
Bai Yushan's left arm was pierced by the opponent's "Deer Antlers Pierce the Sun Thrust, blood splattering everywhere. But he seemed not to feel it, and with a backhand grip, he grabbed the opponent's shoulder, and with force, tore off a piece of flesh.
The next second, both of their wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, their bones, muscles, and skin regenerated rapidly, and they were back to normal in just a few breaths.
"Is that all you've got?" Bai Yushan licked the blood splattered from the corner of his mouth, his laughter growing even more maniacal. "A counterfeit is just a counterfeit; you copied the form, but not the spirit!"
"Stubbornness won't work!" the man sneered, his feet crackling with electricity, instantly increasing his speed. He unleashed a barrage of punches, sending dozens of fist shadows crashing down from the sky.
Lightning Rushing Thunder Fist
The fist shadows were interspersed with blue and white lightning bolts, densely packed, sealing off all angles for dodging.
Bai Yushan remained calm and composed, crossing his palms, and black and red electric arcs intertwined in his palms to form a net.
Purple Lightning Fierce Slash
Two intersecting arcs of electricity slashed out horizontally, tearing a gap in the shadow of the fist. His figure blurred, Thunder Shadow Thousandfold Afterimages simultaneously spread out. Three afterimages pounced out from different directions, while his real body had already circled behind his opponent.
Lightning Flash Step
He formed his five fingers into claws, crackling with intense heat and lightning, and viciously clawed at the other person's back.
Without turning his head, the man struck out with his palm, and the Lightning Ball exploded.
Bang--
The blast wave threw both of them into the air, where they regained their footing and faced each other, several dozen meters apart.
In the pure white space, cracks from electrical currents were slowly healing, and the air was filled with the smell of burning, which quickly dissipated.
"Looks like fists and kicks alone won't wake you up." The man sneered, his hands rapidly gathering in front of him, the blue-white lightning ball growing larger and larger, causing the surrounding space to tremble slightly.
Swift Thunder Strikes
A massive Impact of lightning shot out from his palm, like a rushing river, surging towards Bai Yushan.
Bai Yushan chuckled, neither dodging nor avoiding, and raised his hand as well, black and red lightning spinning wildly in his palm.
The Thunder Dragon's Roar!
His lungs sank, and he opened his mouth to spew out a thick, black-red thunder dragon breath. The giant dragon formed from lightning bared its fangs and claws, crashing into the Impact.
Boom--!!
Two terrifying bolts of lightning collided violently, creating a deafening explosion. The pure white space shook violently, and countless fragments of electricity flew in all directions, like a raging thunderstorm.
At the center of the Impact, the two exerted their power simultaneously, the force of lightning escalating rapidly as neither gave way.
"270,000 volts, you won't last long!" The man's voice was cold and hard, and the blue-white electricity surged another three percent. "Distracted by cultivating your Haki, your foundation for Electric Current Push is already unstable! If this continues, you won't even be able to touch the threshold of Magnetic Field Rotation!"
"Foundation?"
Bai Yushan burst into laughter, and the black and red lightning suddenly surged in size. "My will is the foundation! My choice is the righteous path!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his finger, and a black iron marble appeared out of thin air, instantly accelerated to its maximum speed by electromagnetic force.
Railgun
The crimson bullet, crackling with black and red lightning, moved so fast that it left only a blur, instantly piercing through the lightning Impact and shooting straight towards the opponent's brow.
