Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 484: "Arhat" vs. "Mad Dog"

On the stage, the fierce battle has begun.

But Sha Hulun took the lead in attacking. With just a small step of his left foot, he rushed forward several feet and approached his opponent in the blink of an eye.

Fu Yan was not flustered when facing the figure that was charging at him in an instant. He just raised his right leg, took a step forward, spread his arms, and prepared to fight back.

Seeing this, Sha Hulun secretly cheered for his opponent in his heart, and his emotions became more and more excited.

At this moment, Sha Hulun had already condensed his energy in his palm, and his powerful internal force gave off a faint glow. Just the wind from his palm could have the power to split mountains and crack rocks.

Fu Yan's temperament was completely opposite. He was demonstrating very basic boxing and kicking stances, coordinating his hands, pushing his elbow with his palm, and sending his fist with his elbow. He let the palm of his right fist burst out upward, and used a simple "head-on punch" to resist the edge of his opponent's palm.

bang——

The next second, the fists and palms collided, the internal energy burst out, and a muffled sound was heard.

When the sound fell, the powerful Sha Hulun was shaken back two steps, while Fu Yan stood firmly in place without moving.

"This Sha Hulun's palm power is indeed amazing. This is the first time today that someone has produced such a movement with just one palm strike."

"But after this first test, it turned out that Fu Yan had the upper hand!"

The double-harmony commentary follows the actions of the two men.

But what they said...is not actually true.

Only a very small number of people at the scene, as well as the two parties involved, Fu Yan and Sha Hulun, understood that in the previous attack, the two were evenly matched.

Sha Hulun took those two steps back only because he was charging forward, and during the high-speed movement his feet were slightly off the ground, so he lost the advantage of leverage.

Fu Yan relied on the "Dead Tree with Twisted Roots" of the Arhat Fist and took a deep horse stance, waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out. Therefore, when he was guarding against the palm strike, he took advantage of the force coming from the ground.

If we were to say that in the fight between the two men just now, it is unclear who had a clear advantage in terms of strength or internal energy over the other.

Of course, this punch, this palm... were not their full strength, and both of them were undoubtedly holding back when they attacked.

After all, they don't have any deep hatred, and there is not a huge gap in strength between them, so there is no need for anyone to show their cards right away.

Furthermore, Shafu and the others had no idea about Ding Buzhu and Ling Sheng'er's thoughts behind the competition, so from their perspective, if possible... they would have to hide some tricks for the subsequent competitions.

"Good kung fu." After Sha Hulun stood still, he immediately praised the other party with a smile on his face.

What he was praising was Fu Yan's "understanding" of martial arts.

"What a great palm power." Fu Yan also praised Sha Hulun sincerely, but what he praised was the other party's extraordinary skills.

Obviously, after just one test, both of them knew the advantages of themselves and their opponents.

These two sentences, which seem to be polite compliments to each other, are actually each pointing out the information they have already detected, letting the opponent know that "I am also a smart person", so that they can play more "measured" next time.

If a “person who doesn’t understand” stood here today, and you praised him for his “good kung fu”, and he replied with “Ha~ha! Are you scared now? I’m going to fucking kill you!”, then this matter would be a different matter.

wow——

After the greeting, Sha Hulun "felt at ease" and charged forward again. This time he stood still before attacking. He raised both palms and brushed them together, creating layers of phantoms and a sound of vibrations.

But Fu Yan did move this time. He walked forward, and while the opponent's palm force had not yet reached its full potential, he turned forward and snatched away, getting within a step of Sha Hulun. Then he threw out both fists at the same time, and at the moment of swinging, he turned his fists into palms, and his palms rotated together with his feet and body, performing the shape of "Crane Spreading Wings".

Once again, the two heroes faced off, each taking a step back, and it was difficult to tell who was the winner.

However, compared with the first tentative attack, the moves chosen by the two this time were more complicated, and both of them also secretly improved their skills.

After this move, the two people, who had already gone through two attempts and "greeted each other", basically mastered the rhythm of the fight and really started the game.

woohoo...

Let’s talk about Sha Hulun. He took advantage of the situation and raised his power to about 70%. His palms moved with his body, his attack styles increased rapidly, and dangerous moves emerged one after another.

Fu Yan defended while attacking, with his palm hidden in his fist. The shape of his fist was strange and unpredictable, and the moves of his palm were fast and slow overlapping, and he fought on equal terms with him.

At this time, in the eyes of outsiders, they only know that this battle is a fight between dragons and tigers, which is dazzling to watch.

But in the eyes of insiders, or true masters, the result of this battle is already very clear: Sha Gulun has superior martial arts and deeper internal strength, so he should have the upper hand in a prolonged battle; and although Fu Yan's understanding of martial arts has reached the master level, his internal strength is still a little lacking. The only reason he can still hold on is that his mastery of the moves is enough to make up for or even surpass the huge gap between "Arhat Fist" and "Remnant Power".

Here the book implies that the word "removed skills" is just the name given by the people in the underworld and the green forest to the martial arts practiced by Sha Hulun, because that is what he himself said to external people.

But in fact, the martial arts he practiced was called "Wuque Gong", a magical skill that had been lost for many years. After he found it, he was the only one in the world who knew it.

From a certain perspective, "Wuque Gong" and "Tiancan Gong" are similar things, and may even be more powerful.

However, Sha Hulun only found half of the perfect skill.

The complete version of Wuque Gong is divided into two parts, one part is for men to practice, and the other part is for women to practice. Men cannot practice the women's part, and women cannot practice the men's part, otherwise they will go astray.

Then here comes the point... No matter the male half or the female half, both are considered superior martial arts, but neither reaches the level of "peerless magic". Only when a man who has practiced this martial art and a woman who has practiced this martial art give birth to a child together, then this child, regardless of gender, will possess the two parts of the Wuque skill from birth. After that, when the child grows up a little, he/she can practice the two parts of the Wuque skill alternately. Only in this way can the child be trained to be the complete version of the peerless magic skill - the Wuque skill.

After hearing this, I think you all understand why this martial art was lost...

Anyway, there were some emotional disputes between the descendants of a certain generation.

This Sha Hulun has nothing to do with the sect that created this martial art. His situation is similar to Linghu Xiang's, that is, he picked up the secret book by chance, and then he practiced it. After all, it is a top-notch martial art.

The secret manual did describe the complete version of this martial arts, but Sha Gulun, who only had half of the magic, also understood that even if he could find the other half, only his descendants would have the chance to truly master the perfect martial arts. Besides, where would he find it? Who knew if the other half of the secret manual still existed in this world?
Therefore, he announced to the public that his martial arts was called "Can Gong", so as to avoid some unnecessary troubles.

But no matter what, his "incomplete skill" is much more powerful than the "Arhat Fist" in terms of both moves and internal energy.

At the same level, it is impossible for anyone using Arhat Fist to defeat him. It was just that he met a strange person like Fu Yan who was at a special level today, which led to the current situation.

"Well... everyone has seen that now, fists and palms are flying back and forth on the ring, and the two sides are fighting fiercely."

"That's right. If you think about it, this scene is comparable to Xu Chu's naked fight with Ma Chao, or Taishi Ci's fight with Sun Ce..."

Since the level of the competition on the ring was a bit high, it was no surprise that the commentary began to show "the commentary is nonsense".

Fortunately, Sun Huang's voice is loud, sounds passionate, and is full of rambling nonsense, so it doesn't seem to be a big deal to outsiders.

Only the masters would think to themselves, "What the hell are these two guys talking about?"

But how many experts can really understand the situation? Moreover, most of these experts have a certain status and shrewdness, so they will not care about anything with Sun Huang.

In this way, the battle on the ring continued.

However, Sha Gulun, who had also made the same judgment that "I will win in a long battle", became doubtful after fighting for a while...

"That's not right. Why hasn't he shown any signs of fatigue yet? And it feels like... there were a few times when I was a little overwhelmed. Did I misjudge him?"

Sha Hulun gradually realized that this situation was not an illusion.

Of course, he was not the only one who misjudged Fu Yan. Many people in the audience who "understood the game" also misjudged him.

It is true that Fu Yan's internal strength is not as good as Sha Hulun's. Theoretically speaking, the former will definitely be at a disadvantage after a long fight, but this is not absolute.

Right now, as both sides became more and more familiar with their opponents, Fu Yan's advantage in martial arts realm gradually emerged. He "reduced his own consumption" without realizing it, and the fight became easier and easier.

Sha Hulun saw that this fellow's punches and palms were as fast as the wind and were extremely skillful. He even managed to overcome the double disadvantages of both moves and internal strength in the "application" of martial arts. It was truly amazing.

But, despite his admiration, Sha Hulun had no intention of giving in.

He has his strengths, and I have my strengths.

I originally wanted to use 70% of my strength to deal with you, and I didn't use all my tricks. But now it seems that you, a bald guy, can't be dealt with by 70% of my strength. So I won't be polite.

Thinking of this, Sha Gulun became even more interested, so he said, "Fu! You are really good at fighting, so I have to use some real skills too!"

When Fu Yan heard this, he thought that what was supposed to come had finally come...

He naturally knew that Sha Hulun still had some cards up his sleeve and would not let him win so easily.

"Then I'd like to see what methods you use." But Fu Yan was not afraid. Who doesn't have a hidden trick?

"Okay!" Sha Hulun responded with a smile, and then his body moved suddenly, moving sideways like lightning, and with extremely fast body movements, he went around Fu Yan's right side and launched a surprise attack.

The move he used at this time was one of the unique moves of the "crumbled skills" he had practiced - the moon is waning and the flowers are withered.

This move is about "the person is like falling flowers, and the palm moves in an arc like a crescent moon". It is a master move with extremely tricky speed and attack angle, and unpredictable trajectory.

Facing this move, if the attacked party only responds with ordinary moves, even a master at the head of a sect may find it difficult to resist; and if this palm strikes you solidly, not to mention breaking bones and tendons, the internal injuries alone will be enough to make you vomit two hundred cc of blood.

But Fu Yan is not an ordinary person, nor is he an ordinary person.

At this moment, he was seen bending his legs and stepping his feet apart, taking a steady yet elegant slightly leaning horse stance to stabilize his lower body. At the same time, he brought his shoulders together, extended his left arm to the side, put his fist at his waist, brought his right arm close to his body, arched his shoulders... and then a move called "Iron Mountain Lean" rushed out.

This move is divided into four parts, attacking from above and defending from below, combining offense and defense. It not only neutralized Sha Hulun's exquisite offensive move of "The Crescent Moon and Withered Flowers", but even caused Sha Hulun's palms to tremble and his arms to go numb.
