Chen Yang couldn't dodge Xiao Lin's collision and was knocked back several steps.
When faced with this type of impact technique, his strength is greatly reduced. If the body is not prepared, it relies mainly on weight to withstand the impact.
After acquiring the Extreme Physique, Chen Yang weighed himself and found he had only gained 15 pounds, reaching 145 pounds. The Extreme Physique significantly enhanced his muscle strength and bone density, so gaining 15 pounds while maintaining the same physique was already quite remarkable.
However, even fifteen jin (approximately 6.5 catties) is still not enough to withstand this impact. Unless one is of Xiang Ba's size, anyone facing this impact would have to retreat.
However, Chen Yang's strength and combat skills were still useful; otherwise, it wouldn't have been as simple as just taking a few steps back. He practiced Bajiquan against trees, and it's unknown how many trees he had to break to master it.
"As expected, you are very strong. It's really hard to imagine that someone of your size could have such strength." Xiao Lin didn't press his advantage but instead smiled and said to Chen Yang.
He had watched the battles between Chen Yang, Xiang Ba, Xiang Mo, and Sha Rong, and he found that Chen Yang's appearance was completely disproportionate to his strength.
"A freak born with superhuman strength, no wonder he has such great stamina," Xiao Lin thought to himself.
"Since you know I'm strong, then you'd better be careful." Chen Yang also knew that after the previous battles, his strength was slowly becoming impossible to hide.
Of course, no one could imagine how terrifying Chen Yang's true strength and physique were. All they could see was three to four tenths of his power. If he attacked with all his might, Xiao Lin would definitely not last a minute.
Chen Yang limited himself to 50%, meaning he could only use up to 50% of his power. Furthermore, using 50% of his power would prove that he had failed; maintaining 30% or 40% was the standard.
Chen Yang discovered that suppressing his own power and then releasing his wolf-like fighting spirit, integrating it into his boxing style, with rationality and wildness coexisting, greatly helped his progress.
He launched an attack on Xiao Lin, who easily countered it.
After discovering Chen Yang's immense power, he also changed his fighting style.
The Xiaolin Society has a wide variety of martial arts, with five or six styles that are on par with Chen Yang's current level, including Xingyi Quan. Moreover, their other martial arts are also quite good.
After Xiaolin learned the first martial art, the subsequent martial arts training became increasingly easier. The more he learned, the faster he could learn new martial arts.
He seems to have been born with this talent, possessing an extreme sensitivity to martial arts and an exceptional ability to understand them. This is his unique talent, something others cannot imitate, and it's why he's considered a prodigy.
Sha Rong's strength lies in his extraordinary understanding of Tai Chi. He has already forged his own path in Tai Chi and can be considered a semi-grandmaster. At his age, he is the only one like him.
As for Chen Yang...
No one knew how to evaluate him; this guy was strange in every way.
If we're talking about Chen Yangqiang, he was clearly at a disadvantage in several battles. But calling him weak isn't quite right either; can you call the people who defeated Sha Rong weak? What were they to him, trash?
Chen Yang's knife-throwing skills alone are enough to qualify him as a master.
However, Chen Yang clearly doesn't seem like someone who could defeat Sha Rong in many ways.
In his fight against Xiao Lin, Chen Yang was clearly no match for Xiao Lin.
On the field, Chen Yang and Xiao Lin exchanged attacks, but Chen Yang could only launch a few effective strikes. No matter what move he used, whether fast or powerful, Xiao Lin always had a way to counter it.
Xiao Lin knows a lot, and he combines each skill very well, without being a jack-of-all-trades and master of none.
Chen Yang's offensive movements were very fast. He calmly delivered each punch and each movement. Although the speed was fast, not a single punch was a mistake.
Xiao Lin admired Chen Yang more and more as the fight went on, and finally regarded Chen Yang as a true opponent.
Originally, in his eyes, the only person among his peers who could be considered a rival was Sha Rong, but now there is another one, Chen Yang. This means that in Xiao Lin's eyes, Chen Yang is already on the same level as them.
Xiao Lin also launched a full-scale attack, and instead of a quick offensive, he tried to target Chen Yang's vital points, forcing Chen Yang to defend.
Because Xiao Lin knew too many techniques, Chen Yang had no way of finding a pattern in his attacks.
Even though he possesses an extremely powerful physique, his vital points are still vital points, and he still has to avoid them.
In such ring battles, it's rare to attack the opponent's vitals so frequently, because this is just a martial arts competition, not a life-or-death struggle.
But Xiao Lin did it anyway, not because he hated Chen Yang, but because he understood that it was the best way to deal with Chen Yang.
Chen Yang's face, neck, and groin became Xiao Lin's primary targets, leaving the audience terrified.
That's incredibly dangerous. If you're not careful, it could cause lifelong damage.
Those in the audience couldn't help but wonder if there was some deep-seated hatred between the two, or if one of them had been cheated on.
Regardless of how wildly others speculated, Chen Yang was certain that Xiao Lin did not intend to kill him.
While humans cannot perceive emotions and thoughts as accurately as animals, they can still sense a person's obvious emotions.
For example, when fighting Sha Rong, he could feel Sha Rong's intense anger and a trace of killing intent, but with Xiao Lin, he only felt excitement and happiness.
It was precisely because of his excitement that Xiao Lin specifically targeted Chen Yang's vital points, because he was only thinking about how to defeat Chen Yang and hadn't considered anything else.
Chen Yang gradually got into the zone, and once he got into the zone, his control over his power became less precise. He used more and more power and became less and less concerned about Xiao Lin's attacks.
This made the two appear to be evenly matched.
Xiao Lin's moves were more precise, while Chen Yang's were more savage, using sheer force to overcome all techniques, ignoring some of Xiao Lin's attacks, and even directly using his own power to break through them.
He had already used more than 40% of his strength. If Xiang Ba were to exchange a punch with Chen Yang now, his arm might break directly.
However, Xiao Lin had no intention of competing with Chen Yang in strength. Whenever faced with an attack that could not be avoided, he would use Tai Chi to deflect and block the force.
Tai Chi is also one of the martial arts that Xiao Lin is most proficient in. Although his Tai Chi skills are not as good as Sha Rong's, they are not far from Wang Feng's.
Moreover, Chen Yang had very few opportunities to attack; it was mostly Xiao Lin who was attacking while he was defending.
Facing Xiao Lin, Chen Yang was unable to defend himself in the same way he did against Sha Rong.
Sha Rong's Tai Chi is domineering and powerful, but Chen Yang's peak physique can ignore many of his attacks. Moreover, Sha Rong is only proficient in Tai Chi, and his attacks are powerful but not very varied. It can be said that he is completely countered by Chen Yang.
However, Xiao Lin is different. His attacks are often aimed at vital points and are unpredictable, so Chen Yang has to be on high alert to dodge them.
The audience below the stage were stunned when they saw this familiar battle pattern. Was this going to be another protracted battle?
