Chapter 856: Continuous Force through Air
Chapter 856: Continuous Force through Air
Qi Hui Shi watched as Chen Chuan's fist came at him. At this moment, as the initiator of the attack, he was confident that he could strike Chen Chuan first. If he could invest enough Spiritual Flame in this strike and deliver a significant blow to Chen Chuan, then even if Chen Chuan's fist hit him, it might not cause much damage.
Without hesitation, he prepared to do just that. But just as he was about to summon the Spiritual Flame within him, he saw the Spiritual Flame on Chen Chuan's fist flicker, as if about to burst forth. His heart skipped a beat.
It was clear that a Spiritual Shock was about to be unleashed. His thoughts raced, and he realized that if this was the case, Chen Chuan's attack would be incredibly powerful. Continuing to fight against him might not be advantageous, and the most likely outcome would be mutual injury. If his foundation was not as strong as Chen Chuan's, he would be at a disadvantage.
This realization immediately changed his approach. He took a step back, and his body lightly floated to the side. At the same time, he retracted the Spiritual Flame he had intended to unleash, disrupting his continuous offensive rhythm, which would usually give his opponent an opportunity.
However, it didn't matter. Chen Chuan's strike, once unleashed, would also be difficult to retract. He still had a chance to continue his previous offensive. As long as he could suppress Chen Chuan, he would find an opening.
But the situation that unfolded was not what he had expected. The light on Chen Chuan's fist suddenly dimmed, and his eyes narrowed. It seemed that the previous move was just a feint!
It wasn't entirely a feint, though. The effects of Chen Chuan's cultivation in the Great Bright Light Style and the Great Blue Sky Style were evident here. His keen spirit not only allowed him to accurately grasp his opponent's attack direction but also enhanced his ability to manipulate and control the Spiritual Flame. This enabled him to make more variations in his attacks.
If Qi Hui Shi hadn't given up just now, this move could have been transformed into a true Spiritual Shock. If he had retreated at that moment, he would have immediately restrained the power he was about to unleash, opting for a more reasonable attack instead. His moves would have been entirely adaptive to his opponent's actions.
At this moment, he stepped forward and threw another punch towards Qi Hui Shi. The situation reversed instantly, with Chen Chuan maintaining his aggressive offense while Qi Hui Shi became the defender due to the disrupted rhythm.
Qi Hui Shi inwardly cursed his misfortune. If he chose to dodge at this point, he would become increasingly passive. Therefore, he had to avoid falling into such a disadvantageous situation at all costs.
Instead of retreating, he used a secret technique, instantly condensing most of his spiritual power on his body. With one hand, he pushed outward, engaging in a direct clash with Chen Chuan to suppress his opponent's offense.
A loud boom echoed as their fists collided, and the Spiritual Flame between them scattered in all directions upon impact. The ground where the flame landed quickly melted, reducing the glowing light. However, before this clash ended, Chen Chuan threw his second punch.
Qi Hui Shi did not back down. He continued to manipulate the Spiritual Flame from his other hand to meet Chen Chuan's attack, even though he knew this approach was disadvantageous and would consume a lot of his spiritual power. But tactically, it was the right choice.
As the two clashed for the second time, the overflowing light distorted the air around them. The ground beneath their feet began to sink, and cracks radiated outwards at a rapid pace, with flickering light seeping into the cracks, forcing out large amounts of melting snow and dirt.
But it wasn't over yet. Chen Chuan threw his third punch, and Qi Hui Shi had no choice but to continue the fight. After two punches, he didn't fall into a disadvantageous position. Instead, as the distance between them gradually increased, he gained the opportunity to adjust.
Qi Hui Shi predicted that Chen Chuan's attacks would not cease, and after the third punch, they would be even further apart. At that point, he would have the chance to dodge and reorganize his offense.
However, at that moment, a flash of light appeared on Chen Chuan's fist, and a Spiritual Shock was unleashed!
Qi Hui Shi's eyes widened in shock. Spiritual Shocks usually required prior preparation, and it was rare to unleash them at such close range. He never expected that after the previous clash, Chen Chuan could still launch such a rapid and powerful attack.
The Spiritual Shock was fast and fierce, and at such a close distance, it was impossible to dodge. Qi Hui Shi was forced to gather the remaining Spiritual Flame in one place, pushing both hands outward to block the incoming light.
The force of the light pushed him back over a hundred meters, creating a deep chasm between them. Finally, with a loud explosion, the light burst forth.
Qi Hui Shi's body visibly dimmed, and he was slightly out of breath. At this moment, twelve Flight Orbs of various sizes floated around him, each glowing with Spiritual Light.
These were the Flight Orbs, unique to fighters. They could fly back and forth in the air, synchronizing with the fighter's spirit and field domain. Qi Hui Shi had released these Orbs earlier to prevent Chen Chuan from taking advantage of the situation.
Although Qi Hui Shi had not suffered any harm due to his appropriate response, it had cost him a significant amount of Spiritual Flame. Tactically, he had not lost, but if the fight dragged on, Chen Chuan could wear him down by sheer endurance. So, Qi Hui Shi had no choice but to use his weapon, despite feeling embarrassed.
He looked up at the calmly standing Chen Chuan and explained, "Director Chen, I'm sorry, but I have to use my weapon."
Chen Chuan glanced at him and replied, "Mr. Qi, we didn't say we couldn't use weapons before our sparring match. There's no need to apologize."
On the Yuan An Corporation's airship, although the crowd couldn't see the specifics of the battle between the two sides, the current scene was understandable.
The assistant said, "Director Bao, it seems like... Director Chen is a bit stronger?"
Director Bao nodded, "It looks like it for now."
In fact, he was still very nervous inside. He had witnessed many fights between fighters and knew that no one could come to a conclusion before the outcome was decided. Someone had told him that the winner couldn't be determined until the final moment of the battle, and even though there might be differences among fighters, this concept likely applied to them as well.
Qi Hui Shi made a slight adjustment, spreading his hands open. The flight orbs instantly dispersed outward, moving to a position about seven or eight meters away.
With twelve flight orbs, he now had twelve attack points. When combined with his own techniques, they could create numerous combination variations and execute more powerful attacks.
At this moment, he mentally pulled six small orbs that glowed faintly. They instantly rushed towards Chen Chuan. These weapons contained his transformed tissue, and even outside the field domain, they could still sense his consciousness and move according to his will.
Chen Chuan's eyes flashed, and he took a step back. A few hissing sounds later, several deep pits appeared on the ground. He then retreated again, and the small orbs emerged from the tree trunk where he had been standing.
Before these small orbs could continue their assault, Chen Chuan's figure suddenly disappeared from his original position. When he reappeared, he was already beside a large tree. He kicked off the tree, and the thick upper half of the trunk flew towards Qi Hui Shi's location. Without stopping, he continued to kick, sending broken tree trunks one after another towards Qi Hui Shi.
Qi Hui Shi spread his hands to bat away the tree trunks. Although his vision was blocked by the trees, fighters didn't rely solely on sight. Their spirits keenly sensed each other's auras and field domains. But in that moment, Qi Hui Shi suddenly realized that Chen Chuan had disappeared from his perception, seemingly hiding behind the tree trunk and using it as cover to advance towards him.
Indeed, Chen Chuan had used the tree as a stepping stone to approach. He had anticipated that Qi Hui Shi wouldn't dare to unleash all the flight orbs at once until he was certain of his position. This gave Chen Chuan the opportunity to defeat them one by one.
Facing the two incoming orbs, Chen Chuan punched one of them, hitting it directly, then raised his elbow to deflect the other. Simultaneously, he spun, and as he turned, a spiritual light gathered in his hand. When he faced Qi Hui Shi, he swung his hand, unleashing a spiritual shockwave.
Qi Hui Shi had intended to charge forward, using the flight orbs to attack Chen Chuan. However, faced with the incoming spiritual shockwave, he had no choice but to stop and block it again. He forcefully guided his spirit, and the two orbs that had circled to his sides attacked Chen Chuan from behind.
Chen Chuan's eyes flashed, and in an instant, he sidestepped. Using his movement, he disrupted the timing of the orbs, which were supposed to attack him simultaneously. In quick succession, he unleashed four punches, each landing precisely on the orbs, extinguishing the spiritual fire on their surfaces and rendering them harmless for a short time.
Then, with a powerful stomp, he charged towards Qi Hui Shi. Qi Hui Shi had just managed to disperse the spiritual shockwave. His eyes flickered as he faced the rapidly approaching fist. He raised his arms, summoning spiritual light to block the attack and halt Chen Chuan's momentum.
However, when Chen Chuan's fist reached his face, it suddenly transformed from a punch to a grab, seizing Qi Hui Shi's arm. The wrestling force instantly changed into a grappling force, and the spiritual light also adapted accordingly.
This sudden change in technique caught Qi Hui Shi off guard. The spiritual light on his body didn't have time to adjust, and the light on his arm was instantly extinguished. Simultaneously, a force seeped into his body.
At the same time, the small orbs that had been in the rear flew back and struck Chen Chuan. This was Qi Hui Shi's intended killing move—to block Chen Chuan's attack and then, at that precise moment, assault him with the orbs. Even if he couldn't defeat Chen Chuan in one blow, it would force him into a passive position.
However, as Chen Chuan was seized, the light on the orbs quickly faded, leaving only a fraction of their power, which was insufficient to break through Chen Chuan's spiritual light. The orbs dropped to the ground one by one.
At this moment, Chen Chuan raised his hand, lifted the paralyzed Qi Hui Shi, and slammed him onto the ground. A loud rumble reverberated from the spot where the two of them stood, and a massive dust column rose, rolling upwards.
