Chapter 28

Piers cursed inwardly, but his hands did not stop, firing off two more Qi Bullets in quick succession.

Even if this bumpkin’s combat skills and explosive power are strong, he is only at the First Level of Qi, while I am at the Fourth Level. I can wear him down until he dies!

With this thought, Piers’ palms flew, continuously launching Qi Bullets. They quickly clashed for ten more rounds, but Luo Feng’s combat aura did not show any significant signs of weakening.

A human martial artist at the First Level of Qi can usually release about ten Qi Bullets. Now, Luo Feng had fired over twenty, a combat aura volume that was terrifying among peers!

More critically, Piers noticed that his own combat aura was starting to waver, a sign of excessive consumption and impending decline.

This bumpkin is like a cockroach, impossible to kill. I don’t know how long he can resist, but this can’t go on. I’ll finish him with that move!

With this in mind, Piers first fired two Qi Bullets with both palms, then charged toward Luo Feng.

“Bang!” “Bang!”

The two Qi Bullets were still broken by Luo Feng’s continuous fire. Neither side gained any advantage, but in this moment, Piers had already closed to within five meters of Luo Feng.

At the Qi stage, one can attack from a distance, but Piers deliberately approached his opponent. This was intentional, as he wanted to ensure that his next move would definitely hit.

His palms came together, and a large amount of Qi condensed, emitting a strong light. This opening move indicated that Piers’ attack was no ordinary one.

“Bumpkin, to lose to this move, you should be content!” Piers’ joined palms suddenly thrust forward, and a large Qi Sphere, about a meter in diameter, appeared. Compared to the bullet-sized Qi Bullets, this was clearly much more powerful. It also required a bit more preparation time, which is why Piers approached Luo Feng to ensure he wouldn’t run away while he was gathering Qi.

Lower Blue Rank combat skill — Qi Shockwave!

A powerful surge of Qi rushed toward Luo Feng, who fired off two more Qi Bullets. However, these two Qi Bullets failed to break the large Qi Sphere and were instantly swallowed. After all, this was a combat skill of a different rank.

Although it was slightly smaller, the Qi Sphere still posed a significant threat, and with the close distance, it arrived in an instant.

Luo Feng raised his hand again. Seeing this, Piers sneered inwardly. It’s no use, bumpkin. The power of the Qi Shockwave is equivalent to four Qi Bullets, and you don’t have enough time to fire two more.

However, unexpectedly, Luo Feng did not fire another Qi Bullet.

Combat aura rapidly condensed, expanding in the shape of Luo Feng’s palm, suddenly growing nearly ten times in size, forming a large palm print.

Large Palm Print!

Piers was greatly shaken. He recognized this move. The Large Palm Print is the lowest-level Blue Rank combat skill, on par with the Qi Bullet. It does not release a shockwave, so its range is much shorter than the Qi Bullet. However, its power is significantly stronger. This skill is very difficult to master and requires strong control. Many martial artists at the Qi stage might spend half a year practicing it without success, and the time and effort required are too much. Although it is very useful, it is generally abandoned. Piers had also tried to learn the Large Palm Print but found it too difficult to control and did not continue. In the entire training camp, there were probably very few who had mastered it.

Now, this skill, which many low-level Qi martial artists coveted but dared not practice, appeared in Luo Feng. How could Piers not find it hard to believe?

Just over a month to break through to the Qi stage, and he has mastered both the Qi Bullet and the Large Palm Print. Is this bumpkin a monster?

Of course, Piers could not understand that after Luo Feng practiced the Ancient Heaven-Defying Technique, he found it easy to learn most conventional combat skills. He did not need to focus on a single skill to better unleash its power. Learning two to three skills at the same time had the same effect as learning one, so Luo Feng had “casually” learned the Large Palm Print.

“Boom!”

The large Qi Sphere, hit by the large palm, finally broke, but some of the scattered fragments hit Luo Feng like bullets.

Even though the Large Palm Print was stronger than the Qi Bullet, it still could not match the Qi Shockwave.

However, the areas hit by the fragments immediately glowed, as the Super Dominant Body activated. Luo Feng felt a bit of pain from the fragments but was not injured.

This explosive clash left the spectators in awe, but their attention was focused on Luo Feng, whose performance was truly outstanding.

“Large Palm Print, did I see that right? He used the Large Palm Print just now!”

“Definitely, there’s no other Blue Rank skill like the Large Palm Print!”

“Wow, even high-level Qi martial artists find it hard to practice the Large Palm Print, and he not only dared to practice it but also mastered it!”

“Don’t forget, before he used the Large Palm Print, he fired two Qi Bullets. That explosive power is terrifying. I can’t believe he’s only at the First Level of Qi!”

“Who is this guy? His combat aura level is so low, but his skills are amazing!”

“...”

Not just the spectators, even Aaron was deeply shocked.

According to his knowledge, Luo Feng had broken through to the Qi stage about twenty days ago. Only at this stage could he learn Blue Rank combat skills, meaning he had learned the Qi Bullet and the Large Palm Print in a very short time. Yet, he had not only mastered them but also deeply grasped their essence, unleashing strong power. However, the Large Palm Print was not particularly rare, as Aaron also knew it. What he was more concerned about was something else.

When the fragments from the broken Qi Shockwave hit Luo Feng, several parts of his body glowed, but it was fleeting. The intense clash between the Large Palm Print and the Qi Shockwave made it difficult for others to notice, but Aaron did not miss it.

He indeed has instant defense, and it’s multi-point instant defense!

Instant defense is also divided into multiple levels. Single-point instant defense is undoubtedly easier and does not require as precise judgment as multi-point instant defense.

Five fragments of Qi hit Luo Feng, but each of the five areas on his body activated instant defense without exception.

I can also activate five-point instant defense under similar conditions, but the condensed Qi defense area would have to be larger to precisely defend against the fragments. However, Luo Feng’s condensed Qi area was exactly the same size as the fragments, neither too large nor too small, not wasting a single bit of combat aura. This judgment is terrifying.

How did this kid do it? He’s really a freak!

Piers’ eyes widened. He could not believe that his surefire attack had been completely nullified by Luo Feng.

However, the consecutive two Qi Bullets and one Large Palm Print had also consumed a lot of Luo Feng’s strength. In the previous ten rounds, he had already used up most of his combat aura. However, the Ancient Heaven-Defying Technique allowed him to maintain peak or near-peak condition even with reduced combat aura, unlike ordinary martial artists whose state would decline as their combat aura was consumed.

“Sss!”

Like a deflated ball, the aura shield shrank back, and the combat aura on Luo Feng’s body retreated to the Essence Qi stage.

At this time, Piers, having used the Qi Shockwave, had also retreated to the First Level of Qi, but he was still one level higher than Luo Feng. Seeing his opponent retreat, he was overjoyed and fired a Qi Bullet.

At the Essence Qi stage, one cannot use Qi Bullets, so Luo Feng had to raise his right arm and use the old move, Arc Light Slash, to shatter it.

Just as he was about to fire another Qi Bullet to knock Luo Feng down, Piers’ aura shield also shrank like a deflated ball.

Seeing this, Luo Feng’s lips curled into a smile. Hehe, this guy has also retreated to the Essence Qi stage. At the same level, he definitely can’t match me!

In a battle against a peer, Luo Feng was full of confidence, as his combat aura’s power, explosive force, and endurance were all at an absolute advantage.
