Chapter 87: Intentional Heart Fist Style
Flash! Mo Qingting was only slightly surprised at the beginning, but her reaction speed was so fast that the moment of surprise could be disregarded!
Although the continuous barrage of fireballs was powerful, its attack trajectory was too obvious. Mo Qingting, as a martial artist, naturally had excellent agility. Even if the speed of the fireball barrage increased further, Mo Qingting had confidence in evading it.
However, how could Yuehai let her succeed!
Crystal Shield Spell!
Boom! Almost as Yuehai released the continuous barrage of fireballs, Mo Qingting began to dodge to the right. However, at the same time, Yuehai surprisingly managed to spare some attention and released a Crystal Shield Spell beside Mo Qingting!
Mo Qingting had intended to dodge, but because of this sudden Crystal Shield Spell, her evasion route was blocked!
This was bad!
Victory or defeat hangs by a thread. Although Crystal Shield is one of the weakest basic six techniques, when used properly, it can unleash unimaginable effectiveness in combat!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!
The deafening explosions echoed, smoke filled the air. The audience below the stage had already been captivated by this fast-paced and thrilling duel. Some knowledgeable spectators even exchanged comments with those around them.
However, the judges remained silent. Clearly, while this series of duels was exciting, it wasn’t enough to impress them.
Meanwhile, on the stage, Yuehai’s brow furrowed once again.
Trouble, it seems the familiarity I felt before was for this reason, Yuehai thought to herself.
In front of her, as the smoke cleared, a tall figure gradually emerged.
As everyone saw clearly, they were astonished to find that Mo Qingting, who should have been hit by the continuous barrage of fireballs, was completely unharmed, not even a thread of her clothes damaged. However, at this moment, she stood with clenched fists at her waist, eyes tightly shut, and a faint white light emanating from her surroundings. Though smoke billowed around her, not a wisp could penetrate the range of the white light.
“This is… Fist Art, Heart Armor!” Yuehai murmured to herself. The familiarity she felt from Mo Qingting earlier evidently stemmed from their shared identity as martial artists!
“Hey, Dragon Slayer, where are you now?” Tyr, seeing that his situation as Yuehai wasn’t looking good, immediately contacted Dragon Slayer through the Magic Voice Stone for assistance.
Meanwhile, on the Dragon Slayer’s side, there was a clattering sound.
“I’m helping you buy a katana, boss. How much does he want for this one?”
Immediately, a mature voice from the other side of the magic stone replied, “1200 gold coins.”
“Damn! Dragon Slayer, why are you buying something so expensive! Just buy one that costs a few dozen gold coins!”
“This katana is a gift from me to you! Take it or leave it! By the way, what did you come to me for?”
“Oh! Almost forgot the main business!” Tyr glanced at the stage where he was confronting Mo Qingting, then asked.
“Dragon Slayer, is there any specific martial arts school for your fist technique?”
“……” Dragon Slayer’s voice was noticeably stunned, but he also knew that Tyr might be very anxious at the moment, so he quickly replied,”Yes, I belong to the ‘Intentional Heart Fist Style’.”
“‘Intentional Heart Fist Style’… I’ve encountered a martial artist who currently uses the ‘Heart Armor’ technique in combat, along with a very dangerous body technique!”
“The body technique should be ‘Flowing Heart Water’. Since the opponent has already mastered ‘Heart Armor’, their level in martial arts should be at the grandmaster level or even higher!”
“Grandmaster level…” Tyr knew that in the world, there were four major levels of martial arts skills. The first was the most basic martial arts, which all martial artists must learn. In order to practice more powerful martial arts, basic martial arts were essential! The second level was grandmaster level. Most people would find it difficult to comprehend grandmaster-level martial arts in their entire lives. Basically, anyone with some brains would rather spend money to buy copies of grandmaster-level martial arts and figure out ways to study and emulate them, following the path laid down by their predecessors.
And the school is different.
A martial arts school is a legacy. Although descendants still follow the path laid down by their predecessors, there are no limitations.
For example, if a martial artist learns a grandmaster-level martial arts technique, unless they study more powerful copies of martial arts techniques in the future, that technique will forever be limited to the grandmaster level.
However, for martial arts schools, all techniques start at the most basic level when practiced initially. But as one’s understanding of the school’s techniques deepens, the level of these techniques gradually changes. This difficulty is not much different from comprehending a martial arts technique on one’s own.
According to Dragon Slayer’s subsequent narration, their ‘Intentional Heart Fist Style’ is even more special. Starting from the most basic two martial arts techniques, each moment of enlightenment in martial arts allows them to comprehend a new martial arts technique. This is a kind of intuitive sensing. Techniques like ‘Heart Armor’ and ‘Mind’s Eye’ require one’s own martial arts to reach the grandmaster level before it’s possible to comprehend them! That’s why Dragon Slayer firmly believes that the opponent’s martial arts have already reached the terrifying grandmaster level.
“But I need a method to decipher it.”
“Do you think I would tell you? If magicians revealed the truth behind their magic to everyone, who would come to watch!” Dragon Slayer picked up a sword nearly as tall as herself, chuckling disdainfully.
Tyr was initially taken aback, then he chuckled bitterly. Indeed, if he disclosed all his weaknesses, wouldn’t Dragon Slayer be able to defeat him too? Upon further reflection, if someone asked him for all the weaknesses of the Sky Sword Heart, he might have been tempted to strike with his sword if his temper had been slightly worse.
