Jiang Yuan raised his hand to protect his head, but Meng Xin had mastered a leg technique that amplified instantaneous bursts of power. So, when she made contact with Jiang Yuan, she unleashed more than ten times the force in an instant. Jiang Yuan was kicked away diagonally with a bang, and finally stopped flying by smashing his head against a wooden pillar.
"Sure!" Jiang Yuan twisted his neck. If his physical body wasn't the Nine Spirits Demon Body, the consequence of blocking Meng Xin's attack would have been a broken arm bone. He didn't cultivate ancient martial arts for physical defense, so he relied entirely on the defense inherent in the Nine Spirits Demon Body.
"You're also a practitioner of ancient martial arts?"
After kicking him, Meng Xin looked at Jiang Yuan suspiciously. The movements of ancient martial artists can be discerned. Generally, those with strong physical bodies use force energy rather than pure physical strength. However, this guy named Qingmu did not leak any energy and relied solely on his physical body to confront her.
"No, but I know what the ultimate ancient martial artist is!" Jiang Yuan said calmly. Back then, he had pushed all three shackles to their limits. Although he was not as advanced as Meng Xin was now, he still had authority on the topic of limits.
"How arrogant!"
Meng Xin swung her hand toward Jiang Yuan's neck, and Jiang Yuan no longer took it lightly, but went all out to deal with Meng Xin's attack.
The first principle of ancient martial arts combat is absolute overwhelming force. After all, one force can overcome all techniques, and any skill is insignificant in the face of absolute power. However, when the strength is roughly equal, skill becomes the key to victory.
Take Meng Xin's fighting style as an example. She mainly uses leg techniques, and after each leg technique, she uses her hands to assist in the attack to maintain the balance of power in her body. This is one of the drawbacks of leg techniques. She needs to constantly adjust her core power points. Jiang Yuan's pure upper limb system minimizes this drawback.
When Meng Xin's fierce side kick came, Jiang Yuan entered a state of perfect harmony with nature, and he keenly sensed the point where Meng Xin's physical strength was out of balance.
"Let me show you the ultimate physical power, Yin and Yang!"
He suddenly exerted force in his arms, a technique from Tai Chi Chuan where one controls the arms. When Meng Xin kicked, Jiang Yuan did not retreat but instead advanced and stood in front of Meng Xin. The attack that was originally intended to strike her chest was changed by Jiang Yuan and became a direct strike to Meng Xin's right shoulder. Instantly, Meng Xin was knocked over and tumbled twice.
With a spirit of pressing forward without giving Meng Xin a chance to catch her breath, Jiang Yuan closed in and used two punches to dissipate the power in her dantian, and then sent her flying until she crashed hard into a corner of the wall before stopping. He did this just to let Meng Xin know the wickedness of people's hearts in this world.
Not everyone will go easy on you. If you've made the decision to take action against someone, you need to be absolutely certain of victory.
"Pfft!" Meng Xin hadn't experienced much real combat, and being a girl, her ability to withstand blows in ancient martial arts was nowhere near that of a rough man like Jiang Yuan. So, she coughed up some blood after just two simple punches.
Jiang Yuan's expression shifted slightly, but he still restrained the urge to take care of her. He was very careful in his actions, and this injury at most only affected his internal organs and would not be life-threatening.
"I lost!" Although Meng Xin was in a sorry state, her eyes were filled with a strong sense of defiance.
Seeing Meng Xin like this, Jiang Yuan seemed to see the scene when Xiao Xin fought against Yang Wenlin of the Gale Squad to prove herself. Although the little girl did not enjoy fatherly love, she also developed a tenacious character.
“No, you just didn’t win!” Jiang Yuan walked over and said meaningfully, “My physical body is already close to the Heavenly Spirit Realm. You lost to the difference in realm.”
He said this because he didn't want to undermine Meng Xin's confidence. After all, he didn't know if the young girl could handle the pressure. If he tormented her too much and she gave up on ancient martial arts, it would be a loss.
"I admit defeat! But that doesn't mean I'll always lose to you!" A fighting spirit ignited in Meng Xin's eyes. She was actually lazy by nature, and her success today was entirely due to chasing after her older brothers and sisters. So, after achieving some success in ancient martial arts and weapon forging, she relaxed. But recently, she realized that she was still far from good enough.
"Alright, not bad! Since you lost, then stop worrying about my identity. Anyway, I won't harm you!" Jiang Yuan got up without helping Meng Xin. If you've been knocked down, you have to get up on your own. This is a basic requirement for ancient martial arts practitioners.
"So, are we enemies or friends?" Meng Xin wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and asked calmly.
"They are friends, not enemies!"
