The intricate and delicate ridians throughout his body were weak, perfectly suited for the nurturing power of the gentle snow mushroom to unblock. Moreover, their frailty ant that unblocking the ridians wouldn’t be too difficult, as long as they didn’t rupture.
Soon, with the help of this favorable condition, Qing Yu had unblocked all the ridians in his body.
Swinging his arms, "I feel... the control over my body has greatly improved, as has the reflex speed of my nerves..."
The benefits of unblocking the ridians were sowhat beyond imagination. Qing Yu’s arms suddenly bent backward like a bow, then shot out like a snake, his fingers together punching a small hole in the headboard.
"Spirit Snake Fist"
With improved control over his body, Qing Yu could better synchronize his body with his consciousness.
"Not only that, the circulation of my Inner Strength is also much smoother now. Now, I truly believe I have the confidence to fight Dongfang Bubai..."
"System, I want to challenge Dongfang Bubai."
"Character Card of the guarding boss now opening..." announced the system in a chanical voice.
Before him, everything blurred, and Qing Yu found himself for the third ti in the small garden where Dongfang Bubai lived.
"It’s you again." A red shadow flashed, and the elegant figure of Dongfang Bubai appeared in front of Qing Yu.
"So, you think you can defeat now?" Dongfang Bubai said with a light chuckle.
"Of course." Qing Yu stared intently at this figure, bright red like the blazing sun, "This ti, I will kill you!"
His words were filled with a chilling intent to kill.
Despite being stunningly beautiful, Qing Yu’s desire to kill could not be swayed. Why, you ask? Perhaps the fact that Dongfang Bubai, before becoming a eunuch, could surpass him in size was a good enough reason? Keep in mind, Dongfang Bubai had seven concubines before practicing the Sunflower Manual. Without adequate capability, controlling such a situation would be impossible. Dongfang Bubai was not Wei Xiaobao; he likely would not bolster his courage with drugs.
"Exactly as I wish. Let’s see how much progress you’ve made in such a short ti. If you disappoint , don’t think of having an easy death this ti," said Dongfang Bubai.
"You won’t be disappointed, as long as I can keep up with the speed, we are at the sa starting point, everything else..."
Raising his sword, Qing Yu burst forth towards Dongfang Bubai, thrusting straightforwardly and furiously, "Doesn’t matter!"
Before his words finished, the sword edge had almost reached that pristine snowy white neck, as if Qing Yu’s sword was faster than his voice.
"Quite impressive..." Dongfang Bubai’s figure suddenly vanished.
Qing Yu shifted to the side, the Mystic Iron dagger in his left hand stabbed backward, "I’ve said, as long as the speed is fast enough."
Behind him, a red shadow flashed by, Dongfang Bubai’s figure reappeared not far atop an artificial hill.
Turning around, left hand holding the Mystic Iron dagger, right hand holding the longsword, Qing Yu said, "Your embroidery needle is indeed dangerous, but its lethality concentrates at a single point. If I avoid the critical spot, even with the exchange of damage, I still co out ahead."
In terms of power, Qing Yu had reached the Postnatal Peak, with no further room for progression, and his speed had improved to match that of Dongfang Bubai. Coupled with the enhanced neural response speed, controlling his suddenly accelerated movent technique had beco effortless.
"Let our true battle begin," Qing Yu declared, his longsword pointing at Dongfang Bubai.
Previously, it had been a one-sided slaughter. Now, it was a genuine fight between equally matched foes.
"Good," Dongfang Bubai’s eyes ignited with a fierce will to battle.
As soon as these words fell, the two transford into a black and a red blur, clashing throughout the garden.
The colorful rose garden was whipped into a storm by the sweeping lights of the swords.
The rugged artificial hill was perforated by the embroidery needles, riddled with holes.
Wherever the black and red shadows dueled, the area was left in complete disarray. Both utilizing the refined Inner Strength from the Sunflower Manual 2.0, although unable to rge with the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, and thus unable to project their Inner Strength outward for quick recovery, their sheer power matched that of common Innate Experts.
Ultimately, even a beautifully crafted cottage suffered under their ruthless hands. The structure was pierced like a honeycomb, and after several supporting pillars were slashed by the swords, it swayed precariously, about to collapse.
"Boom"
Inside, the two struck palms against each other, each knocking back walls in retreat, and the finely made cottage finally could no longer withstand and collapsed like a stack of blocks.
"As expected..." Qing Yu stared at Dongfang Bubai standing amidst the ruins, "Your Inner Strength has completely converted from Yang to Yin, turning into Yin Inner Strength."
"And your Inner Strength is still nine Yang and one Yin. Unlike mine, as a eunuch lacking power, your prospects are far broader," Dongfang Bubai’s expression darkened slightly.
"Prospects are just prospects and do not impact the current battle. Just like your realm surpasses mine, ’Heavenly Person Transformation, All Things Flourish,’ I haven’t even touched the fringe. Unfortunately, your postnatal limits on Inner Strength and body prevent you from utilizing your full realm."
"Heavenly Person Transformation, All Things Flourish" — this state transcends the Postnatal Realm, even the Innate Realm, reaching what is only possible in the Divine Origin Realm.
Unfortunately for Dongfang Bubai, environntal limitations ant no substantial support for his potential to manifest fully. It was similar to Zhang Sanfeng before Dongfang Bubai’s ti, whose realm in both fiction and reality had reached an exceptional level seldom seen historically. Unfortunately, Qing Yu’s previous life and the world of Xiao Aoshi were not part of this world, or else Zhang Sanfeng could have lived until the Qing Dynasty.
"Let’s continue fighting." Qing Yu clenched his left hand holding the Mystic Iron dagger; his right hand, just pierced by Dongfang Bubai’s embroidery needle, bore four small yet clear blood holes through the ridians, rendering it nearly powerless.
Of course, he was not at a loss, for Dongfang Bubai had taken a hit in the abdon and was still bleeding.
"Your right hand is injured. Can your left hand be faster or stronger?" Dongfang Bubai hid his regret and smiled lightly, showing no sign of injury on his face.
"Sorry, I’ve trained specifically for this. In dramas, those who can use both hands equally well always survive until the end..." Qing Yu casually ntioned.
Fighting with both hands wasn’t that difficult; there was no simplistic naive restriction like a blank sheet of paper. Many scholars, through practice, could write with both hands simultaneously, and it’s not like their hearts were simply naive.
Even in Divine Eagle, Gongsun Valley Master, who was captivated by beautiful won and found it hard to move, held both a Saw-toothed Gold Saber and Black Sword at once, alternating and mixing attacks, creating an unpredictable fantasy.
As long as one focuses on training, practice makes perfect. Multitasking, despite its difficulty, wasn’t exactly a rare feat in the world.
"How about we decide the outco with one move, just like last ti, to see who truly possesses the power of the Sunflower Manual?" Qing Yu smiled and asked.
Hearing this, Dongfang Bubai revealed a contemptuous smile, "The sun rises in the east, only I am unbeatable."
"Then today, that statent should change."
"We shall see."
The two stared intently at each other, silently accumulating their forces for the next attack.
