Martial Arts Master Chapter 337

Everyone was astonished for a while and then comments were sent on the screen:

"When did Lou Cheng's supernatural ability of fire become so powerful?"

"It seemed that he mastered some Fire Force!"

"That move was supposed to be an alternative version of Ice Burning?"

"As the saying goes, a fighter who has been away for three days must be looked at with new eyes."

"Incredible!"

"I am looking forward to this match."

As the audience posted their comments, the situation on the stage was fraught with new change.

Lou Cheng launched Deadly Fire and leaped forward. But the blaze was redirected by Peng Leyun's Big Dipper Footwork, and missed the target. As the flames lit up both their faces, Lou Cheng visualized an imposing scene of an ice-bound mighty river, a pure spectacular.

As the image flashed across his mind, Lou Cheng's body, his muscles and bones and organs were changing accordingly. A cold current surged within his body, like a raging torrent.

This was not finished. Frozen River Diagram was fading away and the sky was lowering, accompanied with the muffle of thunderclouds.

Lou Cheng conducted his strength from tiptoe to his back, waving and swinging his right arm that hardened like an iron club.

It was called Thunder Roar Zen, Severe Warning!

That move was not an alternative version, but a simplified original physical invulnerability. When entered Dan stage, Lou Cheng's power to control was remarkably enhanced and his Spirit promoted to another level. Plus, with Zhe Formula, he finally accomplished Severe Warning!

His iron arm stroke down with an ear-splitting sound!

As the blaze between them was shaking and dying out, Lou Cheng's clenched fist was reflected in Peng Leyun's eyes.

Peng Leyun smoldered with excitement, visualizing twice in his mind and focusing on a green jade seal hanging in emptiness.

The jade seal was carved with some complex characters, like lightning in a tangle, radiating silver lights with a buzz.

At last, the pattern on the seal was magnified and intensified by Yin and Yang interaction.

This was Peng Leyun's change!

His eyes crystallized into two "lightning balls". He stretched up with muscles showing off as if he was the God of Thunder descended to the world. Peng Leyun hit the ground with his hands, heading directly toward Lou Cheng's iron arm.

The eleventh item of Thunder Sect, a simplified trick of physical invulnerability: Thunder Seal!

Bang!

Their fists were frozen in the midair. As a violent wind suddenly sprang up, Peng Leyun lost his focus as if he was going on a mental journey. Then a deposit of ice crystal formed on his arms, martial arts suit and his hair.

Lou Cheng paralyzed as if he got an electric shock. His ears filled with hiss and his hair stood up. His muscles were out of control, shivering by themselves and his Five Viscera and Six Bowels were also affected and in disorder.

Both of them were struck dumb as if someone pressed the pause button. The audience was also dumbfounded. If it were not for the close shot on the frost covering Peng Leyun or Lou Cheng's rising hair, most of the audience may be skeptical of what they have seen or the live telecast performance.

It was said that both Lou Cheng and Peng Leyun have mastered the simplified trick of physical invulnerability?

And that was the consequence of a powerful clash.

Let wait and see who will come to himself first.

"Incredible! The young man deserves some respect!" Zhang He, the announcer sighed with emotion.

Back then, when I was in his age, I had not mastered any horrifying move at all. Moreover, I had not acquired any simplified tricks of physical invulnerability five or even ten years later.

"I have never seen Lou Cheng's move, not to mention what it was called. I guess it was the combination of Force and Tremor Punch from Ice Sect. Peng Leyun's move was called 'Thunder Seal' which will be poorly performed by the fighter without any thundering supernatural ability. But Peng Leyun, with only a few adjustment, enhanced the effect of Thunder Seal. Although it was less powerful than the original version, he was indeed a genius." Zhang He seized the moment to explain the situation to the audience.

Peng Leyun was a pure fighter, without any supernatural ability!

Peng and Lou, one was almost an Inhuman, with monstrous physique; another was of supernatural ability, carrying out a powerful simplified trick of physical invulnerability. Suddenly they both recovered from the rigid posture. One of them glowed with pride and happiness while another was in full control of his muscles.

Of course, they woke up one after another. Lou Cheng was one step earlier because his supernatural ability was gained, and he practiced Zhe Formula so his body was fundamentally enhanced. Although his physique was less strong than Peng Leyun, he was pretty close. Lou Cheng advanced forward, trying to press up with his enemy. Lou Cheng raised his hands and shook his wrists. Spiritual attacks were prior to the actual moves and hit on seven spots on Peng's body. Mixing Feints or actual strikes was his tactics.

He hid the strength in his muscles and bones, waiting for the ultimate move.

Meanwhile, a silver light shot from Lou Cheng's hand, filling the air and condensed into crystal frost.

Humming! Every piece of ice crystal was vibrating, disturbing Peng Leyun's sense of hearing. Peng also felt the sting of the sound and his Absolute Reaction was interfered. Before his eyes was a stretch of indistinct white frost.

The thirteenth movement of Ice Sect, Endless Snow!

In contrast to Lou Cheng's miraculous effect, any fighter can only influence the circumstance by strength and make frost to interfere enemy's judgment. They will wait for the final strike, making the best use of the enemy's weakened Absolute Reaction. In other words, although the enemy felt the pain, he could not be well prepared due to the imminent threats.

This was quite a complex skill, and even Lou Cheng spent over three months before he initiated into the rudiments!

In a dense ice fog, Lou Cheng fought continuously, but held the real strength. Suddenly he tauted his hip, kicking with his right foot toward Peng Leyun's ankle without a word.

They were so close and Peng Leyun was in Absolute Reaction. The kicking was almost hit on him!

"In a foggy day, the chill comes from the ground." This was the essence of Snow Cover!

However, a fighter of Ice Sect will not follow a prescribed rule when applys such a move. The kicking would only be a feint, while the fist launched the real attacking. The varied and fast-changing tactics was impossible to defend for the opponent.

Yet, before Lou Cheng's kicking, Peng Leyun straightened his back, conducting the strength to his feet and biding his time.

He seemingly perceived the hostility underfoot.

Pop!

As Lou Cheng kicked, Peng lifted his left foot and his right arm as if he had already practiced for a thousand times, giving a thrust forward.

Bang! Since Lou Cheng was less stronger than Peng, his left foot bounced back by Peng's attack. Bending forward, Lou Cheng almost threw himself on Peng Leyun's right arm.

Since the situation was critical, Lou Cheng took immediate action and adjusted his spine to keep balance and restore Qi and blood. His force concentrated in his underbelly to counter the violent attacks by his enemy.

Peng Leyun's eyes glistened with fighting will and his was quite energized. His Qi and blood, strength and spirit were focus on a spot within his body, drawing his right arm back and waiting for further action.

Boom!

Their Danqi was gushing out. Peng put his right arm up as the thunder god beating the drum with a hammer; Lou tightened his wrist and drew his shoulder back as if he was drawing the bow and shooting out his fist as the arrow.

Bang! The fists were crushing. Both fighters' muscles and bones, tendons and vessels altered slightly. The muffled noise on the stage awoke the audience and made their adrenalin flowing and blood boiling!

Snap! A cobweb seemed to appear underfoot and Lou Cheng had not expected and carried off.

Peng Leyun forged ahead, visualising in an unusual way.

Peng raised his hands, punching continuously like a Machine gun!

That was the Catapulting Movement of modern Xingyi!

Pop! The audience quieted down, hearing Peng's fascia contracting and stretching. His joints crunched noisily as a ceaseless machine.

Pop! The repeated noise made the spectators trembling. They found Lou Cheng defended hastily, warding off the opponent's blows by instinct.

"Wow ..." Li Mao found Peng Leyun's fists like an after-image, reckoning that he could not even stand as a defender up against such an opponent.

Lin Que looked towards the arena with fists clenched. The favored fighter of the age was appealing as if his punch was beating on the bottom of his heart. Yan Zheke held her breath and broke out in a cold sweat, having her heart in her mouth, yet she was not scared as anyone else.

Brahman and Yan Xiaoling held their breath as well, praying silently.

"Machine Fist!" claimed Zhang He, the announcer. That was the name of Peng Leyun's move.

In modern Xingyi, Shooting Fillip and Catapulting Movement were the rudiments and Blast Punch more advanced, but Machine Fist would not be acquired until the fighter was in full control of his body and equipped with high agility of Six Pin. The fists would be the shooting bullets when Machin Fist was carried out, and the opponent would not keep pace with the punches.

Zhang He reminded the audience: "Stop staring at his fists! Look at Peng Leyun's footwork!"

If Machine Fist always hit on the same position, the defender would deal with it by waving arms without thinking so the defender could easily catch up with the attack. Therefore the essence of Machine Fist was the footwork instead of the fist. By delicate footwork and altering the hitting spot, the opponent will be caught off guard and struck by the fists violently.

When Zhang He hardly finished speaking, he frowned and felt puzzled:

"Why?"

Why Peng Leyun changed the hitting spot three times but Lou Cheng could still catch up with his pace? It seemed they connected at a deep level with each other and practiced for a hundred of times!

"Why?" Unparalleled Dragon King was convinced there's something fishy.

Lou Cheng's mind was like a crystal mirror, reflecting everything within a radius of a meter clearly. Peng Leyun's muscular contraction and preparation of footwork were exposed so Lou Cheng could estimate his next move in advance and deal with it.

This was called Ice Mirror, the most difficult skill in Ice Sect for a fighter with no physical invulnerability.

Since Lou Cheng's Dan was balanced, and his Spirit, Qi and strength were merged as one with some extraordinary power brought by Jindan. After meditation, Lou Cheng acquired the inward vision and he was one step away from mastering Ice Mirror. Therefore Lou Cheng practiced Qian and Zhe Formula for a month to initiate the skill and so far he had achieved the state of Cheng!

As a result, he maintained his position in front of Peng Leyun's Machine Fist with Thunder and lightning.

Pop! Bang! The noise was in continuation but Lou Cheng could always counter the attack promptly by waving arms or swaying wrist or stretching five fingers. His comprehensive reaction made him unassailable. However, his was less stronger than Peng Leyun so Lou Cheng had to pull back and release some stress from time to time. It seemed that Lou was forced to withdraw by Machine Fist.

While they were fighting, Lou Cheng's stepped along a zigzag line instead of a straight one so as not to fall down from the arena.

One of them was a swift and violent attacker, while another a steady and nimble defender. The audience sat upright as if they were about to join the fight and get the excitement off their chest.

"Marvelous!"

"Unbelievable! Peng Leyun was such a superman."

"Even an iron plate will be crushed by such an assault."

"Lou Cheng was tough. I'm dizzy just by watching but he could still stand the attack."

"Indeed. He seemed not to be defeated at all. He deserved such a great reputation."

When Lou Cheng felt that he could not make it through after countless strikes, Peng Leyun finally slowed down. He finished performing Machine Fist, puffing and blowing.

Now or never! Lou Cheng stepped back, letting go of all the pressure. An ancient character was appearing in his mind.

He could not attend to the aching arms and fists but put the palms together and crooning solemnly:

"Bing!"

That was the Bing Formula of secret mind discipline!

The sound was resonating and suddenly the fight got fierce. Peng Leyun was lost among thousands of illusory men and horses, hearing their battle cry. The ground seemed to shake by ten thousand stampeding horses. The murderous mood made Peng Leyun's flesh creep. He sensed that he was besieged by innumerable enemies!

Peng Leyun was nearly delirious, trembling unconsciously. He tried to visualize the thunderbolt caused by Yin and Yang forces.

Bang!

The thunder clapped and turned into a mighty god descending to the world. Yang and strength and integrity filled the arena and dispelled the murderous and illusive army.

That was the secret skill of the Thunder Sect used for resisting the evil assault!

Bang!

Lou Cheng was spiritually countered, with a humming in his head. He turned into a ghost under the thundering and lightning and he was about to vanish like smoke in thin air any minute.

After a flash crossed over his Heart Lake of Ice Mirror, it fractured.

At the moment, he envisioned a huge Chinese character in his mind with one hand gesturing in front of his chest and another pressed on Dantian.

"Qian!"

Lou Cheng was surrounded by the muffled noise as if all his terror and fear had disappeared.

"Not bad!" Peng Leyun brought down his position and used the Force Concentration to perform Divine Pound, one of twenty-four pounding skills in Thunder Sect. He swang his right arm towards Lou Cheng, leaving him no room for a dodge.

With the Divine Pound there came the repercussion!

Lou Cheng held his Dan, conducting strength into his right arm. Instead of swelling, his arm was strained and tightened. Lou Cheng brandished his fist showing no sign of fear.

There came a Rocket-like Punch!

Boom! There was an explosion on the stage and the blast wave spred in all directions centered on the two fighters in a deadlock.

Lou Cheng's feet almost got bogged down in the ground and his shoes were torn. He staggered around and drew back.

Suddenly, he took a breath, concentrated the running Qi and blood to maintain balance. He drew support from his opponent, and then withdrew his left foot swiftly.

Double bursts! That was Mega Avalanche!

Peng Leyun ignited his Dan, kicking and thrusting like lightning.

Pong! Lou Cheng applied Brutal Blizzard into the successive explosions, giving Peng Leyun tit for tat.

Triple Blows, Quadruple Blows, Penta Blows, and six explosions in a row! Their fight caused a raging storm on the stage, and the explosion sound incessantly lingered on.

Seven, eight, nine and ten explosions in total! Lou Cheng resisted the enemy at every step and based on his 24 Blizzard Strikes, Lou Cheng could earn some advantage; while Peng Leyun fought, he became even stronger and inexhaustible. The fighting stage was tramped into a pit, draping in a veil of flying ash.

Bang! Every hand-to-hand fight was like a bomb dropping, exploding upon the heart of Xu Wannian and others. Fang Zhirong cannot help ripping his white towel wrapped on his head, staring at the arena.

"Brilliant!" The comments alike were posted on the screen.

"How come Lou Cheng deal with the ten explosions?"

"Is this a top-level match between two ordinary fighters?"

"Oh! Now I'd like to pick a quarrel with anyone!"

"Even if a girl!"

Crack! Lou Cheng's martial arts shoes broke into a pair of butterflies, while Peng Leyun's shoes were smashed to pieces. One of them turned his hand over, and another clenched his fist, making the eleventh explosion.

After entering Dan stage, Lou Cheng could finish five explosions in a row without Jindan to replenish. When his supernatural ability awoke twice, and Dan stage skills and Zhe Formula were practiced, Lou Cheng had already made a breakthrough and his body and ability were enhanced significantly. Even without Jindan, he could make twelve explosions, while Peng Leyun made ten explosions when he fought Ren Li this year, and he was almost an Inhuman, even a monster.

Speaking of which, they were far beyond Fang Zhirong and others.

Bang!

A fair-complexioned fist and a sun-burnt fist collided into each other. Lou Cheng felt that Peng Leyun has a stronger physique so he retreated, leaving the ground subsided with his footprints. Peng Leyun faltered and failed to attack timely.

After a while, they came apart, applying the Internal Trainning Methods to alleviate the pressure caused by Tremor Punch. The successive explosions finally went off.

——They just used Force Concentration and got entangled so they were not fully recovered.

During their break off, the audience burst into thunderous applause. Yan Zheke and others could have a breathing spell, and the rest were joyful, relieved, shocked, or astounded.

"Almost a Six Pin fighter ..." Said Ren Li, in front of the TV screen in the office of Martial Arts Club of Capital College.

Almost a Six Pin fighter? Shen You and Jiang Kongchan and others were aware that Sunny Star referred to Lou Cheng so they looked at each other in dismay, recalling the fight they just witnessed.

In mere four months, Lou Cheng almost became a Six Pin fighter?

You've got to be kidding me! This is insane!

What's more, Peng Leyun left no opportunity for Lou Cheng!

What was Lou Cheng's actual strength?

Lou Cheng, standing on the stage, may wonder the same thing. He even felt desperate because he did his utmost, yet Peng Leyun was handling with ease. Peng was such a deep and unmeasurable opponent that no matter how hard Lou Cheng tried, Peng could always find a way to beat back. There was no stratagem that ensured Lou Cheng's success.

Peng Leyun regretted that he should not have met force with force, but he did so when he used Simplified Physical Invulnerable Move. It was different that he fought Ren Li when he dodged and evaded.

In other words, he was fully convinced that he could deal with all the possibilities this time confronting Lou Cheng.

This was not Peng Leyun underestimating his enemy, but as a keen fan of martial arts, he was waiting for the perfect timing to experience the secret skills personally.

Of course, it showed Peng Leyun's calm and confidence.

Maybe Peng Leyun's arrogance and negligence can be exploited ... Lou Cheng reckoned and leapt forward. He prepared to use the double-edged sword.

Then he visualized an ice-bound river, frozen waves and a bright sun in the air.

Great Sun fell from the sky, caused the change in Lou Cheng's body, and then hit on the ice ruthlessly.

This was Lou Cheng's Severe Warning, and this time the supernatural ability of ice and flame reached the balance and carried out a destructive power that would hurt both sides.

Pop! Lou Cheng's back trembled, and then he raised his right arm, putting his fist forward.

While Peng Leyun was excited, visualizing a thundering in his mind and then he made it hit on the ground bursting golden blaze and sparks.

The fifteenth item of Thunder Sect, a simplified trick of physical invulnerability: Thunder Seal!

This was a simplified version of Golden Blaze of physical invulnerability. And Lightning and Fire Stance, a even simplier version of it that can produce a temporary blast.

Peng Leyun started to tighten his muscles. As he clenched his fist confidently, he used the trick of Raise the Fire, Burn the Sky!

Bang!

Ice and blaze bumped into each other and then concentrated into a tiny whirl at Lou Cheng's fist, sucking all the strength of numbness and scorching by Peng Leyun.

Peng Leyun's fist tangled with Lou Cheng's so he could not get away.

Bang!

The tiny whirl lost its balance due to the external force and it blew up, spurting shocking waves.

Bang!

This was the first time Peng Leyun was stroken down by Lou Cheng. Peng hobbled back and seemed a little crestfallen and heavy-minded.

Under the backfire of explosion, Lou Cheng was in hot pursuit of his enemy. Lou Cheng's Spirit preceded him and he tried to use his left and right hook to attack.

Under such circumstance, he could not use Force Concentration.

With his Absolute Reaction, Peng Leyun resumed his focus and got back to Dan realm immediately. His lifted his arms on his chest.

At this point, Lou Cheng's fascia was bouncing. He made a detour to Peng Leyun's back.

A snowy gleam and a bloody blaze rushed toward Peng Leyun.

The attack of ice and fire!

Meanwhile, Lou Cheng's hands held together and tightened. He pounded from right to left as a giant cracked a mountain, cutting off Peng Leyun's retreat.

This was Cold Swallow, the nineteenth skill of Ice Sect! A chill came in all directions.

Until now, Lou Cheng realized that Peng Leyun reached his limit, and he stood a good chance to defeat him.

Suddenly, it seemed that one worm wheel after another turned on inside Peng Leyun's body, kindled Yin and Yang and Thunder and lightning, erupting formidable repulsion. Ice and blaze from Lou Cheng's Mountain Blast Punch was slowed down.

Pop!

Before Mountain Blast Punch landed on him, Peng Leyun tripped off and avoided ice and blaze burning. Not far away there was an outburst with boundless and white smoke.

The spirit in his eyes reappeared, turning into flashing lightning ball. His bent his arm, using elbows to counter Lou Cheng's fists. Meanwhile, Thunder Seal was visualized in his mind, floating in emptiness and flying off sparks.

Bang! Since Lou Chen held his double-edged sword, he could not evade in time and got a thump on the fists. A strong numbness infected in his body.

His hair turned up, and his heart almost paused. The Five Viscera and Six Bowels suffered pain and apparently, he was injured internally.

When Lou Cheng recovered, Peng Leyun turned around, hanging his fist between Lou Cheng's eyebrows.

Peng Leyun, the God's favored fighter, puffed and blowed, and his forehead poured with sweat. He was less determined and confident.

The referee also raised his right hand to announce the result:

"The third round, Peng Leyun wins!"

Lou Cheng was quite dizzy as if he was still stupefied by Lightning Force.

Peng Leyun, a worthy opponent ... Lou Cheng closed his eyes painfully.
