Chapter 156: A Change In The Title
Limit Breaking Realm meant breaking the innate shackles within the body. Each stage broken resulted in a significant increase in strength. It also allowed the development of the mysterious power of the human body.
Wang Siyu's dominance in palm techniques was greatly related to breaking the shackles on his hands. Now that he had broken the shackle on his left ankle, his entire left leg gained immense strength. He stomped his left foot, rotating at high speed on the spot.
Li Xiaofei's palm strike missed. The golden dragon palm force hit the walls of the colosseum, creating a two-meter-wide crater with a thunderous roar.
Wang Siyu paused, then spun in the opposite direction, instantly returning to Li Xiaofei's side. His left palm stuck below, and his right palm above. He alternated with both hands, and delivered fifteen palm strikes in an instant. Each palm contained destructive power, and were not mere illusions. He was using the fourth move of the Seven Mysteries Palm, Seven Up, Eight Down.
But Li Xiaofei was undeterred as he also struck back with both palms. His left palm brimmed with circular force, while his right used direct force. Golden dragons roared around him as he used Dragon-Subduing Eighteen Palms, Dragon in the Field.
Boom, boom, boom.
The two furiously exchanged palm strikes. Orange-red and pale golden starforce qi constantly clashed, shattered and scatted in every direction. The deafening explosions, accompanied by their exchanges, echoed continuously.
The more Wang Siyu fought, the more astonished he became. He was using the energy from breaking the shackles on both hands to power his Seven Mysteries Palm; yet, he couldn't break through Li Xiaofei's golden dragon palm force.
Now, despite breaking through the left ankle shackle and using a leg technique to shift positions like a phantom, he couldn't find a weakness in Li Xiaofei's palm technique.
The dark horse from Red Flag High School, with his continuous and powerful palm strikes, demonstrated a mastery of palm techniques that was hard to imagine. Even after probing him three or four times, Wang Siyu couldn't find any flaws.
Gradually, Wang Siyu felt Li Xiaofei's palm force growing even stronger. Each strike, accompanied by the roaring golden dragon shadow, seemed to carry overwhelming strength, making Wang Siyu's Seven Mysteries Palm feel increasingly inadequate.
If this continues, I will surely lose.
Wang Siyu was shocked; he thought he had already overestimated Li Xiaofei. He never expected the young man's strength to be beyond his imagination.
I need to change tacks!
A thought flashed in Wang Siyu's mind, and his palm technique instantly transformed into a martial fist technique.
The air suddenly seemed to ring with the sound of Buddhist chants as Wang Siyu struck out with a punch. The orange-red starforce qi turned into a '卐'-shaped fist imprint as it blasted forward.
It was the Thousand Buddha Fist! This was another of Wang Siyu's ultimate techniques. His punches thundered forward as the faint shadow of a Buddha flickered in and out of view behind him.
Li Xiaofei laughed heartily. He kept using the Dragon-Subduing Eighteen Palms to counter. After exchanging a few blows, Wang Siyu felt that even the Thousand Buddha Fist couldn't suppress his opponent's palm technique.
He changed moves again. Leaning back, he suddenly kicked out. His foot moved like an ax, striking down on Li Xiaofei. It was one of his three ultimate techniques, Springing Leg. Wang Siyu's leg technique had been cultivated to the pinnacle of mastery. Many martial arts experts had praised his leg technique. They believed his legs were like two giant axes that wielded immense destructive power.
Between his palm, fist, and leg techniques, Springing Leg was the most sharp, lethal, and powerful in its offensive capability. In past battles, whenever Wang Siyu used Springing Leg, it signaled that his attack had been blocked and he was in trouble. But once he deployed his leg technique, the situation would instantly change.
Wang Siyu was upright and honest, and his personality was gentle, which was reflected in his fist and palm techniques. However, his leg technique followed a path of mutual destruction, which stood in stark contrast to his personality. It was ruthless and deadly, with every move aimed to kill.
Opponents who didn't wish to perish together could only defend and counterattack. But once they thought of defense, they would find Wang Siyu's leg attacks become relentless. Like a river's mighty waves, it would only grow faster and stronger until they were ultimately overwhelmed.
There was only one superstar in the entire league who had faced Wang Siyu's Springing Leg head-on, withstood it until Wang Siyu’s starforce qi was exhausted, and then turned the tables to win. His name was Ye Keren from the Ye family. Even last season's Killer King Xiong Zhigang didn't dare to directly defend against Wang Siyu's Springing Leg.
But today, everything changed. Li Xiaofei used his Dragon-Subduing Eighteen Palms to meet Wang Siyu’s Springing Leg kicks with his palms. The Dragon-Subduing Eighteen Palms was particularly effective against all flashy martial arts under the heavens.
After exchanging twenty moves, Wang Siyu had not yet exhausted his starforce qi, but the situation was turning against him.
"What? The Soul of Hongye's Springing Leg can't suppress Li Xiaofei?"
"It's not just that it can't suppress; it's being suppressed."
"Li Xiaofei's palm technique is too terrifying."
"What kind of palm technique is this? Has anyone seen it before?"
"Never seen or heard of it."
"Have you noticed that Li Xiaofei's martial techniques and palm techniques have never been seen in the league?"
"Also, his starforce qi seems different. It looks like he hasn't broken through his shackles, yet he can compete with Wang Siyu of the Limit Breaking Realm. You can't judge him by the usual Qi Refining Realm indicators."
"That's right, because he hasn't released any qi vortices."
"What is that golden dragon shadow? It looks so cool and impressive."
Commentators and streamers from all sides were utterly shocked.
Meanwhile, the viewers in the livestream rooms were filled with envy and jealousy over Li Xiaofei's starforce qi golden dragon effect. Some speculated whether Li Xiaofei had purchased a VIP service from the light core.
In the preparation area. Xiao Hongye appeared calm on the surface. But inside, she was utterly astonished. She had considered the possibility that Li Xiaofei might once again perform a miracle before the match. However, she hadn't expected the miracle to be of this nature. Wang Siyu's defeat was now certain.
Xiao Hongye watched the half-naked Li Xiaofei as she felt increasingly covetous.
Such a genius, yet he’s not under my command. Staying at Red Flag High School is truly a waste. If I can recruit Li Xiaofei to Hongye High School, overthrowing the dominance of the five prestigious schools will become a reality.
At that moment, a final explosion shook the battlefield.
Boom!
Wang Siyu's body was flung thirty meters away, crashing heavily to the ground.
"I lost." He spoke calmly, "I never expected my first defeat in this league to be at the hands of a newcomer... I'm quite happy."
He was happy because another traditional martial arts talent had risen in Liuhe Base City. The Great Xia martial lineage had been gradually declining since many of the new rising talents were following the path of modern martial arts.
They damaged their bodies by relying on the power of star beasts. The most glorious national essence of the Great Xia people was growing increasingly neglected.
As a staunch supporter of traditional martial arts, Wang Siyu was deeply pained by this turn of events. The rise of Li Xiaofei, a steadfast traditional martial artist, was undoubtedly a strong boost. This young man was handsome, masculine, arrogant, strong, and had a natural charisma that could continuously create buzz.
The emergence of this genius would undoubtedly have an immeasurable positive impact on promoting the Great Xia martial lineage. Since this was the case, why not help him build his reputation?
"From today onwards, the one with an invincible palm technique in Liuhe Base City’s high school league is you." Wang Siyu said with a smile.
With that, he sent his concession to the light core system.
