Chapter 855: The Solid Body's Advance and Retreat
The key embedded in the rock was very eye-catching in the winter sunlight, with the Wan Sheng Cai Xing's logo clearly visible.
Chen Chuan withdrew his gaze from the key and looked at Qi Hui Shi, who seemed to be very determined.
Generally, fighters would avoid fighting if they could, unless there were significant interests at stake or compelling reasons to do so.
From this perspective, the hidden items on these two ancient fighters were indeed of considerable value, which justified the other party's investment.
He had no reason to refuse, and he himself was eager to spar with someone of the same caliber. The previous two ancient fighters were too weak, and he hadn't even exerted much strength, not even a warm-up. He hoped this opponent would bring him enough surprises.
"Mr. Qi, I agree," he said.
Qi Hui Shi knew that Chen Chuan would most likely agree, as no fighter could refuse such an offer. Moreover, they were both fighters from Great Shun, and without any prior conflicts, they might have the opportunity to work together in the future. They would try to maintain a good relationship with each other.
In fact, if it weren't for certain special reasons, Chen Chuan wouldn't have said more about taking the person away. It was unnecessary to create such trouble, but he couldn't do that now.
Chen Chuan didn't have much information about the other Chen Chuan, and he didn't know that the other party would appear here. He only learned of the other party's position from Yuan An Corporation's telegraph.
Although he hadn't heard of Chen Chuan before and was certain that the other party wasn't one of those well-known and renowned figures, he wouldn't underestimate any fighter. For Chen Chuan to hold such a position, he must either be highly regarded by those above or have achieved great merits. Therefore, his strength shouldn't be weak.
However, fighters were confident in themselves. Even if he didn't consider himself stronger than the other party, as long as there was a good reason, he would still fight. If he lacked this confidence, he would never have made it this far.
After setting the white-haired woman aside, the two slowly backed away from each other. As their spiritual consciousnesses converged and prepared, the surrounding biomagnetic field began to expand outward, causing the falling leaves and snow dust around them to float in the air.
At this moment, the sound of a clear propeller could be heard from behind, and Yuan An Corporation's airship approached from a distance.
Their lookout had spotted the airship from Western Sea Province and suspected something might be wrong, so they also flew closer. However, upon approaching, they saw the two fighters facing off against each other and the unusual scene around them, causing everyone on the airship to tense up.
Director Bao's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately ordered the airship to stop and not approach any further.
He looked ahead and assessed the situation. There was no doubt that the person standing opposite Chen Chuan was also a fighter, and he seemed to be from Western Sea Province. But why did a fighter from Western Sea Province suddenly appear here? There didn't seem to be any explanation in the reply to the telegraph.
At this moment, a possible scenario flashed through his mind, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.
His assistant also sensed something was wrong and suggested, "Director, should we avoid...?" By avoidance, he meant suggesting that they should flee to escape the impending crisis.
"Avoid what? We can't avoid it! We'll wait here!"
Director Bao clenched his teeth as he spoke. Although he didn't know whether the standoff between the two people in front was a mutual intimidation or the worst-case scenario he imagined, fleeing was the worst choice. If the person in front really intended to target them, could they escape even if Chen Chuan couldn't stop them?
It was better to stay and show firm support for Director Chen.
He instructed his subordinates, "Aim the ship's weapons downward and wait for our orders. Be ready to support Director Chen at any time!"
Whether this would be useful or not, at least they had shown their support.
Below, the two fighters paid no attention to the outside.
Qi Hui Shi stood on one leg, slowly lifting his front foot while opening both hands. One hand was placed forward, and the other was raised, with the lower part slightly covered by the bent knee. A white light flickered around him, giving him a solid yet graceful aura.
Chen Chuan didn't bother to assume a fighting stance but stood calmly in his original position. Both the Great Bright Light Style and the Great Blue Sky Style consumed a lot of energy, so there was no need to use them here.
A platinum light burst from his body, rising like steaming clouds and spreading out above, as if covering the empty space where he stood.
He glanced at his opponent and sensed a very pure aura, without any sense of instability or alienation.
Was this the mainstream human form?
Principal Yao had said that the mainstream human form showed a polarized trend, with most people being mediocre and only a few achieving higher levels.
Which category did this opponent fall into?
Well, let's find out.
He raised his hand, and a spiritual light gathered in his palm before swiftly throwing it towards his opponent.
At the start of the match, Chen Chuan's first move was a powerful one, causing Qi Hui Shi to stiffen. This action demonstrated Chen Chuan's abundant spiritual flame, allowing him to disregard the minor energy loss.
Instead of directly blocking the attack, Chen Chuan sidestepped, causing the biomagnetic field around his body to disperse as the light grazed past him.
At that moment, a gust of wind blew from the front, and Chen Chuan had already advanced. He dodged, but it seemed inevitable. Just then, he naturally sidestepped, his shoulder brushing against the light. The spiritual flame on his body instantly surged forward, and with a loud boom, his shoulder collided perfectly with Chen Chuan's fist, which was glowing with light.
The spiritual flames of both fighters clashed and dissipated outward, but Qi Hui Shi was clearly well-prepared. His power was mobilized reasonably and timely, unlike some of Chen Chuan's previous opponents who scattered with a single rush.
After blocking this strike, Qi Hui Shi sidestepped to avoid Chen Chuan's kick from below. Then, he ducked, and a powerful gust of wind swept over his head. He took a step back, and with a knee lift, the spiritual flame at his knee exploded, blocking the sweeping kick. Using this force, he retreated a short distance, shaking and extending his hands. A strong gust of wind swirled around him, and he resumed his stance.
Chen Chuan slowly retracted his leg and glanced at Qi Hui Shi's rhythmic spiritual flame. He silently acknowledged Qi Hui Shi's solid foundation.
Qi Hui Shi seemed to anticipate Chen Chuan's every move, compensating for his lack of strength and speed by maximizing his technique.
Qi Hui Shi was also startled. Although he had predicted Chen Chuan's moves, each avoidance was dangerously close. There was no opportunity to counterattack, and his last retreat was a deliberate opening, with a killing move waiting behind it. If Chen Chuan had pressed on, Qi Hui Shi could have executed it, but Chen Chuan, despite his offensive advantage, did not advance.
For a moment, Qi Hui Shi couldn't understand if Chen Chuan had paused due to a momentary lapse in strength or if he had noticed something.
Chen Chuan didn't rush to attack, sensing that Qi Hui Shi still had strength in reserve. His intuition in this regard was always accurate.
Of course, if Chen Chuan relied purely on strength, there would still be a chance. There were various ways to attack and defend, but this time, he didn't want to waste too much energy, so he held back.
Qi Hui Shi, sensing Chen Chuan's fierce offense, knew he'd be passive if he let Chen Chuan continue attacking. So, he decided to take the initiative.
Qi Hui Shi sidestepped, and with a slight shift of his hands, he adjusted his upper and lower body positions. Lowering his center of gravity, he took a step forward, his figure darting forward. Like a low-flying swallow, he seemed ready to take flight at any moment.
Chen Chuan waited until Qi Hui Shi's punch aimed at his abdomen before reaching down to block it. His palm landed precisely on Qi Hui Shi's fist.
Qi Hui Shi's attack carried the incoming force, and most of his spiritual flame gathered at the front, but before the force could fully dissipate, his body lightly tilted, and like a soaring crane, he swiftly turned to Chen Chuan's other side. With one foot on the ground, he struck again.
Chen Chuan blocked this palm strike, and the point of contact glowed with spiritual light. Qi Hui Shi's other foot stepped forward, and with a swift turn, he executed a graceful backflip, striking towards Chen Chuan's back of the neck. Just as the attack was about to land, Chen Chuan parried it with a cross-block, firmly deflecting it.
Qi Hui Shi's body continued to turn, and incredibly, he ended up on Chen Chuan's other side. With a pinch of his fingers and a swing of his arm, he pecked like a crane towards Chen Chuan's waist, but Chen Chuan deflected it with his elbow.
Qi Hui Shi's consecutive moves were graceful and fluid. Each attack was executed with a single foot on the ground, while the other foot adjusted balance and moved his body around, maximizing speed and spatial manipulation to compensate for his insufficient spiritual flame.
As the initiator of the offense, Qi Hui Shi's moves should have been faster than his opponent's. During rapid attacks, if he noticed his opponent lagging or a defensive gap, he could quickly intensify his spiritual flame's concentration, finding a breakthrough instantly.
Chen Chuan, however, stood his ground without much movement, accurately blocking each of Qi Hui Shi's attacks. He neither displayed superhuman speed nor overwhelming strength, relying solely on his combat judgment.
After connecting over a dozen moves, Chen Chuan understood Qi Hui Shi's attack rhythm and force application. After blocking another strike from Qi Hui Shi, Chen Chuan switched from defense to offense. Ignoring Qi Hui Shi's finger aimed at his eyebrow, Chen Chuan punched towards Qi Hui Shi's face!
