Chapter 165 A duel of potential, a competition of internal strength
What kind of scene will the showdown between the "powers" in the upper three realms look like?
Chu Tang finally saw this scene clearly:
At first, what he saw was two blurry shadows colliding together, all kinds of aura shooting out, causing the dust in the martial arts arena to fly.
Later, Chu Tang retreated an extra ten feet, and the situation between the two people in the field became clearer.
He suddenly had an enlightenment: "It turns out that the influence range of potential has a certain number. The closer it is, the greater the impact; the farther away, the smaller the impact."
What is the range?
Chu Tang measured the distance. He only had a vague sense of the distance of one or two feet, and it was difficult to judge the location of the two people.
Three feet away, the two of them seemed to have double images, but they could see every move clearly.
A little further away, the two of them were just like normal warriors, except that the scene was more dangerous and intense.
"So it seems that Shi is a kind of spiritual force? If you get close and within the scope of Shi, your spirit will be impacted and you will have hallucinations and auditory hallucinations?" Chu Tang felt that his guess was pretty close.
He further speculated: "In this way, the difference between the three upper realms should be based on the size of the influence range."
However, when I think about it carefully, I still find it terrifying!
Tao Ying and Tang Yue are not yet true warriors of the Seventh Realm, and their understanding of potential is only half of the power of the Seventh Realm.
Even if it is like this, it can disturb people's spirit, which is enough to show how terrifying the two people's talents are!
During the actual battle, if warriors who were in the upper three realms or below encountered them, they might not even have the courage to resist, or they would be hit before they had time to react, and they would lose completely!
"The upper three realms, momentum, spirit..." Chu Tang murmured endlessly, feeling that this trip was worthwhile. The biggest gain was that he had a more specific concept of momentum.
Yesterday, I had a fight with Tao Ying. The opponent only had a superficial taste and did not fully exert the power of "Shi". Moreover, he quickly escaped with Qinggong and did not truly understand the mystery of Shi.
Now Tao Ying and Tang Yue are fighting each other, letting go of their hands and feet, showing off their "power" and majesty. Chu Tang sees it in his eyes, compares it in his heart, and understands a lot.
The battle in the upper and lower realms has almost broken away from the scope of the warrior's strength and energy, and has risen to a spiritual realm!
Tao Ying's momentum is based on Qi, Qi and body are combined, body and Qi are transformed, and the atmosphere is myriad. Every move seems calm, but it is integrated with Qi, and there are countless changes in the calmness.
Pointing his sword and making gestures, the air fluctuated like water ripples, and he came to Tang Yue lightly.
The moment he got closer, a shocking wave suddenly arose like the sea, and the entire space exploded, shaking the defenses around Tang Yue inch by inch, causing the surroundings to shake, binding his hands and feet, and confining his space for movement.
If an ordinary person encountered such a powerful force, their bones would be crushed and there would be no hope of survival.
But Tang Yue also has his strengths.
As he said, his sword is his power!
Sometimes his soft sword is like a hard and straight magic weapon in his hand, with a sharp edge and murderous intent; sometimes it is like a whip, waving around the body, beating the air and shaking the space.
"The silent spring rain moistens things, and the willow wind does not blow cold on my face!" Tang Yue's clear voice sounded.
Facing Tao Ying's seemingly coercive offensive from all directions, he was not afraid at all. Instead, he became more confident. He wielded his soft sword with his tall body and defused Tao Ying's killing moves one after another.
"Wind Wind Sword Technique!" Tao Yingying sighed inexplicably, "Tang Yue, after thirty years of study, you have indeed found a way to become powerful in this sword technique. Your obsession over the years has been in vain!"
Tang Yue laughed loudly: "Sincerity in heart leads to sincerity in swordsmanship! Xiaoying, your Haoran Yi Qigong really has the supreme beauty of integrating Qi into yourself to the maximum extent, and then turning yourself into Qi again! You are truly worthy of being a member of Wutong Academy Dean! However, when the air comes, the wind moves, and when the wind moves, the air disperses. My wind can restrain your air just right!"
Tao Ying snorted coldly: "There are two qi in the sky and the earth, yin and yang are divided into life and death. Qi is the root of all things. Without Qi, where would the wind come from? The cathode is yang, the anode is yin, yin and yang complement each other and restrain each other. What does wind control qi? That’s nonsense. The difference between you and me depends on who is more capable!"
Tang Yue laughed. The soft sword in his hand sometimes felt like a gentle breeze blowing on his face. It quietly and softly sneaked into Tao Ying's mighty offensive, melting away the sharp energy and letting the wind take away the fierce breath.
Sometimes it was like a gust of wind, blowing with great violence, blowing away the buzzing atmosphere around him and scattering Tao Ying's killing move.
This is his power. The wind can blow the face without chilling, and can uproot trees and tiles. Whether it is gentle or violent, it all depends on one heart.
Tao Ying used his momentum in a mysterious way, and his style was no less impressive!
Moreover, his skills were deeper than Tao Ying's, and he was one step closer to understanding the situation. As he said, the wind controlled the Qi. No matter how fierce Tao Ying's attack was, he remained unmoved and resolved them one by one with ease.
The two are strong and weak, and they decide whether they are superior or inferior.
After maintaining a sufficient distance and not feeling dizzy, Chu Tang watched intently and analyzed the moves of the two men during the fight.
"Tao Ying attacked very fiercely, but Tang Yue dealt with it easily. So, it seems that Tao Ying is still a little behind?" Chu Tang couldn't help but feel sorry for Tao Ying again, "I just understood the situation and was in high spirits. Come up. Even if a bag of cold water is poured down on her head, she will feel uncomfortable..."
Of course Tao Ying felt uncomfortable.
She is not stupid, and after competing for a while with all the power of "shi", she found that Tang Yue was superior to her in terms of realm. No matter how she turned into thousands of auras, the opponent's winds could be resolved one by one, and even So, it was difficult for her to get even closer.
She had already reached the extreme level of catching wind and shadow. With the help of her invisible energy, she pulled out afterimages around Tang Yue. Her pointing sword made the energy vibrate, but she could not defeat Tang Yue.
With only a soft sword, Tang Yue wielded the Wind Wind Sword Technique so that water could not penetrate. The so-called Qi was torn and melted by him, and was dissolved a foot or two in front of him.
Tao Ying knew that over time, she would inevitably fail because her level was inferior.
"We can't be entangled any longer, we must..." Tao Ying gritted her teeth. Suddenly, she used her whole body's skills, and her whole body was filled with strong energy. , causing dust and fallen leaves to fly around.
"Tao Ying, what are you going to do?!" Tang Yue saw this and realized something was wrong.
Tao Ying's posture didn't look like she was about to give up, but rather she was preparing to give it a try with all her strength.
His scalp was numb, so naturally he didn't want to fight.
"Retreat!" Thinking of this, Tang Yue immediately sheathed his sword, connected his feet, and flew back.
However, it's too late!
With just a whoosh, Tao Ying's whole body flew out like a cannonball, and in an instant, she rushed in front of Tang Yue.
Two feet, one foot, five feet, three feet...
Tao Ying's ancestral Qing Gong was better than Tang Yue's. He used force to control Qi, and his Qi moved quietly with the wind. In the blink of an eye, he was three feet away from Tang Yue.
"Tang Yue, take the move!" Tao Ying snorted coldly, put the index and middle fingers of her right hand together, and thrust forward with a swish, and the sword pointed aura from the fingertips, shooting hard at Tang Yue's face.
Tang Yue did not dare to be negligent, nor did he show any weakness. He spread out the Ling Feng finger of his left hand, and the same solid Gang Qi shot out towards Tao Ying's sword finger.
Point to point!
laugh!
The two people were entangled with each other, tearing each other apart, melting into each other, making the air hiss.
After Tang Yue pointed his finger, he wanted to continue flying back, and then suddenly found that the Gang Qi could not be withdrawn. He was still entangled with Tao Ying's Gang Qi, and a fierce pulling force was pulling him forward.
With a stagger in his steps, Tang Yue was pulled half a step forward!
"Tao Ying, you..." Tang Yue's face changed drastically and became extremely ugly. He pulled hard but still couldn't take his hand back.
Looking at Tao Ying again, there was a look of determination on her face, as if she was risking everything.
A master of the six realms can not only draw in the Gang Qi, but also imprison the inner force. Tao Ying is using this trick!
"Tao Ying, you are crazy! You are crazy!" Tang Yue was so angry that his whole body trembled, and he no longer had the calm, elegant posture before.
He sensed Tao Ying's intention - to compete with him for internal strength!
This is a direct and naked competition of internal strength that abandons all moves and even the power of momentum!
People in the martial arts world, especially two people who are equally matched, once they start competing with each other in terms of internal strength, it is difficult to stop. The winner has to be determined by points.
Either someone loses directly, or both sides exhaust their internal strength and both sides suffer losses!
Without outside intervention, it would basically be a lose-lose outcome.
The injuries caused by the internal strength competition are more serious than those suffered by being hit. Because the internal strength of the limbs and bones has been drained, the human body is equivalent to an empty shell. By the end of the competition, the meridians throughout the body will be damaged, some of which are irreversible and difficult to recover. get well.
They are not mortal enemies. It is rare for someone to compete in a martial arts competition and compete in internal strength.
And today Tao Ying really did this!
Tang Yue was so angry that he couldn't take his hand back after pulling it several times.
This shows how firm Tao Ying’s determination is1
"Ah!" Tang Yue yelled, being forced to panic. He felt Tao Ying's increasingly solid internal energy constantly consuming his internal energy. He didn't dare to be too strong, so he quickly adjusted his breath and used his internal energy to Carry.
He couldn't give in, otherwise Tao Ying's ferocious and surging internal force would penetrate into his body and beat his internal organs to pieces.
"Tao Ying, why?" Tang Yue was furious and couldn't figure out why a simple cut and poke would lead to this situation.
Tao Ying looked determined and said: "Tang Yue, I took the wrong path before. I always wanted to suppress you in terms of realm, or defeat your tricks in terms of skills. But none of them succeeded. Do you know why?"
Tang Yue glared at her and remained silent.
Tao Ying added: "That's because I use short strikes to reach long range, so that I get twice the result with half the effort! You practiced martial arts earlier than me, your level is higher than mine, and your moves are as good as mine, but I want to defeat you in these two aspects. This is not just a dream." ?
"But a while ago, I realized the potential, and I have a higher level of knowledge and understanding of qi! Qi, my Haoran Yi Qigong is exactly the method of using qi. Haoran Yi Qi, vast and mighty, fills the world, don't Can resist!
"Now that I understand clearly, I should compete with you in terms of internal strength, and use the energy of heaven and earth to suppress you and make you admit defeat!"
"You're crazy, you must be crazy!" A trace of panic arose in Tang Yue's heart.
Tao Ying smiled, and exerted more force in his hands. The inner energy flowed out of his body continuously, entangled with Tang Yue's inner energy, and consumed each other.
"Tang Yue, are you starting to get scared? Because you also realize that I have found a way to defeat you?" A trace of satisfaction flashed across Tao Ying's face, "I have gone astray in the past ten years, and You must have known it well, but you just didn't say it. You must have been very proud of yourself these past few years, right?"
"Xiaoying, what are you talking about? Am I, Tang Yue, that kind of person?"
"That's the kind of person you are!" Tao Ying said bitterly, "You are afraid that losing to me will harm your face, so you have been treating me like a monkey for more than ten years! Today I will let you see our Haoran Yiqigong. It’s extremely powerful!”
Tang Yue smiled bitterly: "Can I admit defeat now?"
"You are really dissatisfied!" Tao Ying snorted coldly, and the inner strength in his hand increased by one point.
Tang Yue blushed and growled: "Then what do you want?"
"Don't call me Xiaoying when you see me from now on. Just salute and call me the dean." Tao Ying immediately made the condition, which shows that this idea has been brewing in his heart for an unknown period of time.
Tang Yue felt insulted.
He is a dignified deputy commander of the Liangzhou Yiyi Guards. He is a master of the six realms and quickly breaks through to the upper three realms. Every time he meets a woman whose realm is not as good as his own, he calls a woman who is not as good as himself as the dean. How is that? It has disgraced both the man and the court!
It is tolerable, but what is unbearable!
"You... don't even think about it!" Tang Yue gritted his teeth and flatly refused.
Anger flashed across Tao Ying's face and he shouted angrily: "Then let's see the real chapter under our hands! Look at my great righteousness!"
Buzz!
Tao Ying's internal strength increased, and there was a sudden sound where the two people's gang energy was entangled.
The inner energy will be consumed more quickly!
Just as they were talking, their foreheads began to sweat, and their faces turned red and white.
The situation looks extremely dangerous no matter how you look at it, but no one admits defeat first.
Chu Tang, who was watching the battle, was stunned.
Because they abandoned the use of momentum, the two people on the field competed with each other like simple warriors in terms of internal strength. Without the influence of their spirits, Chu Tang naturally took everything in their sights.
After listening to their dialogue, which was like an angry child grabbing a toy, he felt even more ridiculous in his heart.
"The promised martial arts cut and thrust turned into a life and death contest?" Chu Tang's waist was almost broken, and he was unable to accept it for a moment.
Without anyone else reminding him, he could tell that the situation between the two of them was extremely dangerous. If they were not careful, it would lead to a loss of both sides.
These two people were still useful to him, so Chu Tang naturally didn't want anything to happen to them, so he ran over and tried to persuade them: "Dean Tao, Mr. Tang, it's not that big of a deal, it's not that big of a deal, stop it now! How about you guys stop it together?" "
Tao Ying stared at Tang Yue and said, "As long as Tang Yue is willing to admit defeat, I don't care."
"Why didn't you admit defeat?" Tang Yue said coldly.
Tao Ying sneered: "My head is in the sky and my feet are on the ground. Under the operation of Haoran's qigong, the righteous energy of heaven and earth pours into my body, continuously replenishing my internal energy. It consumes very slowly and will consume you to death!"
Tang Yue sneered and said: "My six realms are perfect, half of my feet have stepped into the upper three realms, my skills are running on their own, mobilizing the energy of heaven and earth, my internal energy is condensed but not released, and it consumes very little. I'm afraid you can't consume me!"
"Then give it a try!" Tao Ying sneered, her internal energy running faster and faster.
Buzzing, buzzing, the Gang Qi melts and pulls.
Beads of sweat fell from their foreheads to the ground, and their lips turned a little white. It looked like they had exhausted nearly half of their internal energy, and it was definitely not as easy as they said.
Chu Tang was going crazy and wished he could say "try it or die".
Are you children? A three-year-old kid can't grab a toy like you.
He could see that within a few moments, the two of them would have to use up all their energy. If they couldn't hold back, they would be seriously injured and would not be able to recover for a few years; in more severe cases, they might be killed on the spot.
"You have to separate them!" Chu Tang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Two people who want to separate to compete in internal strength can do it. As long as their internal strength is much stronger than theirs, they can indeed separate each other easily.
The problem is that the other party is equivalent to the combined strength of two people, and they are of the Sixth Realm. Even if half of their skills are used up, even if the Sixth Realm strongman comes, they will not dare to easily try to separate them by force.
Maybe a strong person from the Seventh Realm is coming, so you have to be very careful when doing this, for fear of getting hurt.
The one with the highest skill here is Tang Yue. Where can a strong person from the Seventh Realm come to help? !
If force doesn't work, then you have to use tricks.
"I...the world has shifted greatly?!" Chu Tang's eyes lit up and he thought he could give it a try.
He has the mysterious magical skill of the Great Shift of the Universe and the method of force-removing movement, so he should be able to separate them, right?
Seeing that the two people's faces were getting paler and paler, Chu Tang didn't dare to neglect, his body flashed, and he came between the two of them.
"Chu Tang, what are you going to do?"
