Inside the equipment room, Zhang Bairen picked up a piece of obsidian.
This is a special stone with an extremely hard texture and similar to glass; it can withstand being subjected to a hydraulic press for a very long time.
However, this hard stone was polished into a stone ball by Fist Demon Retsukaioh, punch by punch and kick.
Moreover, it's an incredibly smooth stone ball!
Like a jewel, it is breathtaking.
This piece of obsidian is only slightly larger than the palm of my hand. It's not suitable for rock drilling and can only be disposed of as waste in the equipment room.
Zhang Bairen picked up the obsidian and then formed a knife with his right hand.
Immediately afterwards, he slashed out with his palm in a flash.
Liu Haiwang's eyes widened. A piece of obsidian the size of a palm had been smoothly split in two, as if it had been cut by a sharp blade.
Is it possible to achieve this level of accuracy with the width of a palm?
No matter how you look at it, it's impossible!
In the world of Baki, neither diamonds nor obsidian can compare to a well-trained human body.
According to the elder of Bailin Temple, unskilled martial monks can get injured while striking rocks.
However, if one possesses a body honed through countless trials and tribulations, and an attack speed that surpasses the limits, then even obsidian will become as soft as cream.
This is the special rule of the Baki world!
In the "Most Vicious Death Row Inmate" chapter, Dorian's high-tech silk thread is extremely tough and hard, and only four micrometers in diameter, which can easily sever the wrist of the Martial God Yudi Dubu.
However, his trained palm was directly severed by Yudi Dubu's palm.
Is this reasonable? No, it's not!
But in the world of Baki, it becomes quite reasonable.
As everyone knows, diamonds are the least valuable material in the world of Baki; one only needs a hundred tons of strength to mold a block of carbon into a diamond.
Even in the world of One Piece, one could not cut through obsidian with their bare hands, even if they possessed the skill of a master swordsman capable of cutting through iron.
Because the palm is not as wide as a sword, the width of the palm cannot achieve the effect of a blade.
"Master, can you sense it?"
The way this obsidian breathes can be easily cut off once its breathing is understood.
If I were to wield a famous sword or blade, I could cut down anything in the world!
"Including diamonds and lightning!" Zhang Bairen began to recount.
Liu Haiwang's eyes widened, and he muttered to himself, "Unbelievable, truly unbelievable!"
Is this the charm of martial arts?
Never-ending, with no limits!
Zhang Bairen put down the obsidian and took a sharpened longsword from the counter next to him.
"Look, this is an attack that can cut through steel!" Zhang Bairen swung his longsword, instantly slicing through a solid iron hammer.
The cut made by the hammer was incredibly smooth, as if it had been laser-scanned.
Liu Haiwang looked at Zhang Bairen, his expression growing increasingly shocked.
"I have mastered the ultimate in strength."
But I have absolutely no clue about the ultimate gentleness.
I can cut through steel, but I can't stop myself from cutting through paper.
"I think this is my next goal." Zhang Bairen put away his long sword and then turned to Liu Haiwang.
"The ultimate strength, the ultimate softness..."
I understand, you have reached the same level as Guo Haihuang.
However, you are exactly the opposite.
His method of dissipating force is the ultimate form of gentleness.
Your ability to cut through iron is the ultimate form of strength.
I will contact Guo Haihuang as soon as possible and arrange for the two of you to meet.
"I think this will be a momentous event recorded in the history of Chinese martial arts!" Liu Haiwang exclaimed.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Master," Zhang Bairen replied.
"No trouble at all. I am already very honored to have the opportunity to witness this scene," Liu Haiwang said, shaking his head.
For martial artists, what could be more important than martial arts?
No, none of family ties, friendships, money, power, or lifespan are as important as martial arts!
If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening.
As long as I can witness the true principles of boxing, it's not a big deal if I die that day.
This is perfectly normal for Liu Haiwang.
The next day, Guo Haihuang arrived at Bailin Temple.
His son, Guo Chuncheng, pushed the elderly Guo Haihuang to Liu Haiwang's side.
"Liu, it's been a long time," Guo Haihuang greeted him.
"Long time no see, Guo Haihuang!" Liu Haiwang replied in a deep voice.
"Is the person behind you that the young man?" Guo Haihuang asked curiously.
"Junior Zhang Bairen greets Guo Haihuang!" Zhang Bairen clasped his hands in greeting and looked at the martial arts senior in front of him.
Guo Haihuang nodded slightly, then got straight to the point: "Young man, could you show me the level of swordsmanship you have comprehended?"
“Okay!” Zhang Bairen replied.
Just as Zhang Bairen was about to give his demonstration, Guo Chuncheng, who was standing behind Guo Haihuang, suddenly spoke up.
"Wait a minute, it's no fun to demonstrate with inanimate objects."
How about I become your opponent?
Only real combat can test new skills! After Guo Chuncheng finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Bairen provocatively and continued, "I think you won't refuse, will you?"
After all, techniques that can't be used in real combat are just street performers' tricks.
Liu Haiwang looked at Guo Haihuang, wanting to ask for his opinion.
"Hehehe, let the young people handle it themselves."
I remember that Zhang Bairen of Bailin Temple was once a renowned genius sea king.
"If I have the chance, I'd also like to witness the genius Sea King's actual combat performance," Guo Haihuang said.
“Alright, let the young people handle it themselves,” Liu Haiwang nodded in reply.
Guo Chuncheng walked up to Zhang Bairen and stared at him arrogantly.
"Guo Haihuang, are you sure you want your son to experience my Realm of Severing All Things?!" Zhang Bairen asked.
"It's up to you. If you don't want to do a real battle, then you can demonstrate with an inanimate object."
"Many technologies, once created, are indeed difficult to put into practical use, and I understand that," Guo Haihuang replied.
“No, what I mean is, if we conduct a live-action demonstration, it could very likely hurt your son,” Zhang Bairen explained.
"Damn it! Are you looking down on me?!" Suddenly, Guo Chuncheng seemed to be provoked and roared at Zhang Bairen.
Hearing the incessant noise around him, Zhang Bairen's brows furrowed unconsciously.
"Haha, don't worry. Since he asked for it himself, even if he dies at your hands, I won't blame you."
However, it's best not to go that far, after all, it's just a friendly sparring match. "Guo Haihuang said.
"Hey, Dad!"
"Do you really think I can't beat such a coward?" Guo Chuncheng turned to Guo Haihuang and questioned him.
"Alright, now that you've said that, I can proceed with confidence." After saying that, Zhang Bairen reached out and pressed down on Guo Chuncheng's shoulder.
"Kid, your way of trying to make your presence known in front of adults is really childish."
Or rather, you are a complete idiot with no strength, no brains, and no rules! After Zhang Bairen finished speaking, he used his palm to forcefully make the arrogant Guo Chuncheng kneel on one knee on the ground.
