Chapter 9: The Desire for Battle Technique

Liu Hong, with the Golden Spirit Body, unleashed his strong spiritual power as he approached. This was the first time he took someone two levels lower than himself so seriously, and indeed, the other had gained his attention.

Hey!

Liu Hong shouted loudly, his body suddenly leaping. One leg shot down towards Yun Yi like a venomous dragon, as leg techniques were his greatest strength.

Yun Yi’s eyes brightened, and he secretly thought it was impressive; no wonder he was known as the Diamond Leg, the fierce warrior.

Just one glance, and Yun Yi could see that Liu Hong was far stronger than the black captain of the Marquis Yang Mansion.

Liu Hong had already reached the peak of the seventh grade of the Open Spirit Realm, just one step away from the eighth grade, and with his experience in many battles, his fighting power was far beyond that of the captain in black from the Marquis Yang Mansion.

Facing such a skilled fighter, even Yun Yi had to take him seriously.

Crack!

Yun Yi clenched his fists, making a cracking sound, as dark spiritual power surged like a tide, filling his fists. He stepped forward, with one foot pressing against the ground, and he slammed his dark fist against the big foot that Liu Hong was kicking towards him.

Bang!

Fist and foot collided, creating sparks; it was a clash of pure physical strength and raw power.

Thud thud!

Under the powerful force of the rebound, Yun Yi’s body swayed, and he could not help but step back two steps. Meanwhile, Liu Hong was knocked to the edge of the Battle Platform by Yun Yi’s punch, one foot already hanging in the air, nearly about to fall.

"What?"

This scene made many people astonished again; to knock back Liu Hong with one punch shows incredible strength.

It is important to note that Liu Hong himself has a Golden Spirit Body, with extraordinary power, and he has reached the peak of the seventh grade of the Open Spirit Realm, which is far beyond what ordinary peers can match. However, Yun Yi managed to turn the tables and win even when he was two levels weaker—this truly is a miracle.

"The Young General’s spirit body is rather terrifying; even Liu Hong is not his match."

"Such a talented genius is hard to find in all of Qizhou State; there is no second like him."

"The surprises brought to us by the Young General are getting bigger, but Liu Hong may not necessarily lose. He has not yet truly used his Battle Technique: Diamond Leg. Although the Young General is strong, he does not know any Battle Techniques and solely relies on his own strength and instinctive reactions; it is uncertain if he can handle Diamond Leg."

…

Yun Yi’s strength has continually broken people’s understanding, transforming this match, which was not initially expected to be important, into one that has received much attention. More importantly, in the minds of many, they have gradually started to accept this Young General, the young man who can carry a great banner.

Liu Hong took a step forward, took a deep breath, and looked at Yun Yi with a face full of shock.

"Young General, you must be careful next."

Liu Hong said.

"Come on."

Yun Yi’s eyes sparkled with excitement, filled with fighting spirit. Battling such a strong opponent made him feel thrilled all over, and the black lotus in his dantian swayed more fiercely.

"Diamond Leg."

Liu Hong shouted loudly, moving like a fierce tiger, and instantly attacked. A golden light of spiritual power completely covered one of his legs, dazzling anyone who looked.

In the next moment, Liu Hong’s Diamond Leg, carrying a strong wind, appeared close to Yun Yi. The unmatched impact and power made Yun Yi’s expression change slightly.

With the use of Battle Technique, Liu Hong’s fighting power was at least twice as strong as before when he relied only on his physical strength.

"You’re here at the right time."

Yun Yi was not afraid at all. The black lotus in his dantian swayed, and a wild surge of dark spiritual power burst forth. Yun Yi raised his fists, and the black light on his fists looked like two black dragons. With this punch, even the hardest stone could be shattered.

Bang!

Yun Yi’s fist crashed heavily against Liu Hong’s Diamond Leg, making a sound like iron being struck.

But this time, the outcome was turned around by Liu Hong.

With the forceful impact of the Diamond Leg, Yun Yi was pushed back to the edge of the Battle Platform, and both of his arms felt incredibly sore.

Yet, Yun Yi’s gaze became even more enthusiastic as he stared intently at Liu Hong’s golden legs.

"Battle Technique is truly amazing."

Yun Yi was shocked; at that moment, his desire for Battle Technique reached its peak.

"Diamond Triple Strike."

Liu Hong moved again. As a warrior, he knew best when to seize the moment to defeat his opponent.

The Battle Platform here is a place of many tests. As a soldier of the Yun Family Army, he would not show any mercy just because Yun Yi is the Young General; he would give it his all.

Clap, clap…

Liu Hong struck out, and the golden spiritual power rubbed against the air, making a crackling sound. His terrifying Diamond Leg was like an unbreakable whip, quickly reaching Yun Yi.

At that moment, Yun Yi stood at the edge of the Battle Platform. If Liu Hong’s Diamond Leg hit him again, he would be knocked off the platform, and the test of Victory Through 100 Battles would be declared a failure.

However, Yun Yi reacted very quickly. He knew that in his current state, he could not continue to clash head-on with Liu Hong. He swayed and leaped to the other side of the Battle Platform.

But Liu Hong’s Diamond Leg followed closely, and Yun Yi had no choice but to thrust out his fist to block.

Bang!

Diamond Triple Strike, each hit more terrifying than the last. Liu Hong’s second kick was even stronger than the first, and Yun Yi was sent flying off the Battle Platform.

However, just as Yun Yi was about to fall from the Battle Platform, he reached out his hand and grabbed the edge, then pulled himself up with all his strength to leap back onto the platform.

"Ah! He still isn’t the opponent, but he performed impressively."

"Yes, the Young General, without any Battle Technique, withstood two of Liu Hong’s Diamond Legs and still stayed on the Battle Platform. That’s amazing."

"The conditions set by the Bloodcoat General are really too harsh. Liu Hong’s Diamond Triple Strike has defeated skilled fighters at the eighth grade of the Open Spirit Realm. How could the Young General be his match?"

…

The soldiers all shook their heads with sighs. They hoped that Yun Yi would create a miracle again, even though they knew it was impossible.

Although Yun Yi lost, his strength and determination had already earned the soldiers’ respect. Even while falling from the Battle Platform, he remembered to grab a corner and climbed back up. This perseverance and courage proved who Yun Yi was.

On the Battle Platform, Yun Yi was crouching with one hand on the ground. His arm trembled violently, but his eyes were still filled with unmatched fighting spirit, staring intently at Liu Hong ahead.

"Battle Technique, Battle Technique."

At this moment, Yun Yi’s desire for the Battle Technique had reached its peak.

Buzz…

Just then, the black lotus within his dantian let out a loud buzzing sound. At the same time, a message flowed from the lotus into Yun Yi’s mind, "Dark Battle Techniques, Jiucha King Seal."
