Chapter 331: The Stunning Beauty of an Idea Born Under Duress
Ling Chuxi did not know that the act of concentrating Battle Qi at the tip of one’s finger was something even Baili Han could not achieve. It was only because her body had undergone that powerful Ninth Heaven’s lightning tempering that she was able to withstand such strong Battle Qi.
A chill ran through Xiao Tianfan as he felt Ling Chuxi’s slender finger transform into something akin to an invincible sword. Even he who had the Battle Qi of the realm of the Great Fulfilment would not be able to withstand it.
Finally, Xiao Tianfan’s finger moved slightly to form the finger gesture. Compared to the others, his finger gestures were more agile, as if he was bringing together the heavens and the earth. This kind of groundbreaking technique was something that Ling Chuxi had never felt before.
Ling Chuxi was ecstatic as she focused on the finger gesture. It felt like under the guidance of the finger gesture, a mysterious path of qi appeared from both the heavens and the earth and flowed into Xiao Tianfan’s body. The Battle Qi that flowed into Xiao Tianfan’s body was also different – it was no longer fierce and powerful, but it become extraordinarily calm and tough.
His Battle Qi also increased in folds, building into something tyrannical.
“So that’s how it is.” Ling Chuxi finally understood that the Turning Cloud Gesture was actually able to absorb spiritual qi from between the heavens and the earth, and improve one’s own Battle Qi. The originally fierce and powerful Battle Qi would become as gentle as calm waters and then accumulate to something even stronger.
Her full attention was on Xiao Tianfan’s Turning Cloud Gesture, but Ling Chuxi felt like something was not quite right. Logically, this kind of accumulation of Battle Qi should not end up with a depletion at some point, but why was that the biggest weakness of the Turning Cloud Gesture?
She was thinking about it when a white light suddenly flashed before her. A dazzling light of Battle Qi shot out of Xiao Tianfan’s body.
Xiao Tianfan shouted and leaped at Ling Chuxi with his fist out. His fist moved with such immense speed and strength that one could actually see the air moving around it. Its might was even greater than when one pulled a sword out of its sheath.
The whole main hall started to tremble under his attack.
“Oh sh*t!” Ling Chuxi inwardly cursed. She had been focusing so much on understanding the Turning Cloud Gesture, she didn’t notice that Xiao Tianfan’s Battle Qi had already accumulated to its peak.
This was the Battle Qi of the realm of the Great Fulfilment. After layers of increasing Battle Qi, just how strong would it be? Everyone’s expressions had changed.
Without any time to think, instinctively, Ling Chuxi’s fingers also formed a gesture. It was a subconscious reaction as a result of her mind integrating the Turning Cloud Gesture.
A mysterious qi swiftly flowed into Ling Chuxi’s body. The Battle Qi that was originally concentrated at her fingertips suddenly condensed into a dazzling light that looked like a star, and a white light as thin as a hair flashed from between her fingers and pierced into the light in Xiao Tianfan’s fist.
A delicate hissing sound rang out, like a thin needle piercing through paper silk at high speed.
Xiao Tianfan’s fist that was imbued with Battle Qi that could swallow the hills and rivers had actually been stopped by Ling Chuxi’s finger. When that slender finger touched the surface of Xiao Tianfan’s fist, all the Battle Qi and suppression instantly faded. The hall was dead silent.
“What is going on?” Everyone was stunned. Xiao Tianfan’s powerful fist had actually been taken down by Ling Chuxi’s finger?
Even those with no knowledge of martial arts could tell that Xiao Tianfan’s fist had gone far beyond what an ordinary Great Fulfilment realm expert could compare with.
In the large palace hall, Ling Chuxi and Xiao Tianfan both stood in their spots silently for a long time.
