"What should I do? Could it be that I chose the wrong 'Vast Sea Tidal Force Technique' and was deceived by that old man?" Shen Chen thought to himself, feeling very anxious.

He had originally believed that by mastering the 'Vast Sea Tidal Force Technique' and reaching the realm of the white-robed youth in his memory, he would be able to defeat Liu Yong. However, he never expected that after truly mastering the 'Vast Sea Tidal Force Technique,' he would find that he could not unleash the power of the white-robed youth in his memory.

"What's wrong? Why is the 'Vast Sea Tidal Force Technique' I use different from the one the white-robed youth used in my memory!" Shen Chen was anxious, but he had no clue.

Liu Yong, using the Mystic Eagle Sky-Cleaving Claw, repeatedly attacked Shen Chen. Although Shen Chen could temporarily hold his ground, as Liu Yong had said, Shen Chen was only at the First Level of the Blood Fusion Realm, and his spiritual energy was much weaker than Liu Yong's at the Third Level of the Blood Fusion Realm. The time he could sustain his blood qi to perform martial techniques was also much shorter.

In other words, the longer the fight dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for Shen Chen. When Shen Chen's spiritual energy was exhausted, it would be the time for him to be at Liu Yong's mercy.

"Ha ha ha! Brother Liu is sure to win!"

"Teach this reckless fool a good lesson!"

"Disable him! Disable him! I want to torture him until he can neither live nor die!"

Wu Gang and the others shouted loudly.

Standing on the side, Wang Yue's face showed a tense and worried expression, as if he felt the sorrow of a fox at the death of a rabbit.

"Shen Chen is going to lose! Sigh, Liu Yong will definitely take revenge on Shen Chen and me after this..." Wang Yue frowned, thinking to himself.

Everyone present was certain that Shen Chen would lose; it was just a matter of time.

"Ha ha! Shen Chen, if you kneel down and beg for mercy now, you might suffer less. Otherwise, I'll make you wish you were dead! Hmph!" Liu Yong said arrogantly.

"Daydreaming!" Shen Chen remained unmoved, snorting coldly.

"Since you're asking for death, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Liu Yong's face changed, and the speed of his hands suddenly doubled.

One after another, the Mystic Eagle Sky-Cleaving Claws, with their afterimages, attacked Shen Chen fiercely. The claw shadows rained down like a storm, leaving Shen Chen with only the strength to defend, without even the chance to speak.

"Bang!" Despite his best efforts, Shen Chen was still hit by the residual force of a Mystic Eagle Sky-Cleaving Claw, causing him to retreat several steps, with a trickle of blood appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Good!"

Wu Gang and the others cheered loudly.

Wang Yue's frown deepened, and his face became even more grim.

On the contrary, after being hit by the Mystic Eagle Sky-Cleaving Claw, Shen Chen's restless heart slowly calmed down.

Shen Chen knew that he was only at the First Level of the Blood Fusion Realm. Although he had fortuitously opened the nine acupoints in his head and connected them into a blood light, his true attack power and strength were only slightly stronger than an ordinary First Level of the Blood Fusion Realm.

It was impossible to defeat Liu Yong, who was at the Third Level of the Blood Fusion Realm, with his true strength!

Since it was a losing situation, why should Shen Chen continue to defend himself with the Surging Waves Fist? Why not let go and try to reach the realm of the 'Vast Sea Tidal Force Technique' as the white-robed youth in his memory did in this critical situation?

Once he understood this, Shen Chen's face became unusually calm. He slowly performed the Surging Waves Fist, immersing himself in the technique, completely ignoring Liu Yong, who was watching him like a tiger ready to pounce.

"Is this kid crazy? He's actually practicing his fist technique at a time like this!"

"Has Brother Liu beaten his brain to mush! Ha ha ha..."

Wu Gang and the others laughed and mocked him.

Liu Yong, standing on the side, was initially puzzled, not knowing what Shen Chen was up to. But when he saw Shen Chen practicing the fist technique move by move, he became furious.

"Putting on a show! Lie down!" Liu Yong roared, swinging the Mystic Eagle Sky-Cleaving Claw and charging at Shen Chen.

Although Shen Chen was focused on practicing the Surging Waves Fist, he was also observing Liu Yong's movements. Seeing Liu Yong charge at him, Shen Chen quickly retreated, not immediately using the Surging Waves Fist but choosing to circle around Liu Yong.

Liu Yong, missing his attack, was not about to give up. He immediately pursued Shen Chen, continuing to use the Mystic Eagle Sky-Cleaving Claw.

Shen Chen dodged and weaved, continuously performing the Surging Waves Fist, as if he were entertaining himself, which looked particularly ridiculous.

One chased, the other dodged, and soon the two had circled the top of Luoyan Peak several times.

"Hmph!" Liu Yong seized an opportunity and suddenly lunged at Shen Chen with a claw.

At the same time, Shen Chen stopped dodging and began to confront Liu Yong head-on with the Surging Waves Fist!

This time, although Shen Chen was still using the Surging Waves Fist, the speed and rhythm were completely different from before!

If before, Shen Chen's Surging Waves Fist was just mechanically blocking one punch after another, now it had completely changed!

Shen Chen's Surging Waves Fist, after delivering a powerful punch, would pause for a moment to gather strength before delivering another punch!

One punch, a pause, gather strength, then another punch!

Wave after wave of attacks, although slower than before, each wave of the Surging Waves Fist became more and more powerful, like real surging waves, building up in intensity!

"So this is it! This is the true 'Vast Sea Surging Waves Technique'!" Shen Chen's eyes lit up, and he became excited.

"What? How is this possible?" In contrast to Shen Chen's excitement, Liu Yong became increasingly alarmed.

Before, when Shen Chen used the Surging Waves Fist at the Great Perfection level, each punch had a force of about two thousand pounds, barely enough to withstand Liu Yong's Mystic Eagle Sky-Cleaving Claw, and he was always at a disadvantage.

However, as the rhythm of Shen Chen's Surging Waves Fist suddenly changed, Liu Yong noticed that the force of each of Shen Chen's punches was continuously increasing.

Two thousand pounds, two thousand one hundred pounds, two thousand two hundred pounds...

When the force of Shen Chen's Surging Waves Fist reached three thousand pounds, it was on par with Liu Yong's Mystic Eagle Sky-Cleaving Claw!

Moreover, each time Shen Chen used the Surging Waves Fist, he would pause and gather strength, significantly reducing the consumption of his blood qi.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Each punch of the Surging Waves Fist, like a storm or a surging sea, rained down on Liu Yong.

"Step, step, step..." Under the dense and powerful Surging Waves Fist, Liu Yong was forced to retreat step by step. The situation had suddenly changed from him chasing Shen Chen to being chased by Shen Chen.

"No! How can this be? I can't lose! How can I lose! No!" Liu Yong became more and more anxious, and the more anxious he became, the more agitated his blood qi became.

"Ah! Die!" Liu Yong roared, completely abandoning his defense and lunging at Shen Chen with a claw.

"Boom!" Shen Chen gathered strength again and punched Liu Yong's claw.

"Spit..." A figure flew backward like a broken kite.

The one who flew backward was Liu Yong, who was at the Third Level of the Blood Fusion Realm and was about to join the Inner Gate elders next month. Shen Chen, on the other hand, stood there proudly, looking calm and composed, as if it had been easy.

Silence!

Complete silence!
