Chapter 367: Secrets (I)
Bang, bang, bang!
Intense collisions rang out across the martial arena. Lin Zheyu excelled in speed. Facing Xiao Shi, a genius ranked thirtieth on the Hidden Dragon List, if he could not overwhelm him with far superior strength and crush him outright, then he could only rely on the speed he excelled at to make up for the gap in combat experience between them.
As a genius of the War God Sect, Xiao Shi possessed terrifying combat talent. Although he was far inferior to Lin Zheyu in speed and movement techniques, close combat did not require exceptionally powerful footwork. Standing in place, relying on his formidable combat talent, he could handle Lin Zheyu's attacks with ease through small-scale shifts and evasions.
His lightness and movement techniques are even stronger than the rumors say. How did he cultivate them!
Xiao Shi dealt calmly with Lin Zheyu's assault, astonishment surging within him.
As the defending side, the movements he needed to evade were minimal. Unlike Lin Zheyu, whose lightness and movement techniques were extremely strong, the larger range of his motions inevitably left brief gaps for Xiao Shi to react. Relying on his powerful combat talent, Xiao Shi could easily predict Lin Zheyu's attacks, then defend and counterattack.
In the past, even when facing martial artists skilled in speed and movement techniques, this method allowed Xiao Shi to win with ease. But against Lin Zheyu, it no longer worked. He discovered that Lin Zheyu's speed had reached an astonishing level, and his control over his movement techniques was unbelievably agile.
As expected of a genius ranked thirtieth on the Hidden Dragon List. His strength is truly extraordinary.
The greatest gap between him and these geniuses lay in combat experience and the battle instincts forged over decades of fighting. There was no helping it. Lin Zheyu had cultivated for too short a time. Even though he treasured every opportunity to fight such geniuses and absorbed experience rapidly, compared to someone like Xiao Shi, a prodigy of the War God Sect, the disparity remained vast.
What a powerful spirit and spiritual soul. What terrifying perceptive and reactive ability, Jii Weicheng narrowed his eyes, astonishment rising within him.
Having once topped the Hidden Dragon List, Jii Weicheng discerned something interesting from the brief exchange just now. Lin Zheyu's combat awareness was decent, yet far inferior to a top genius like Xiao Shi. However, his spirit and spiritual soul were extraordinarily powerful, causing his perception and reactions to become equally formidable, compensating for his lack of combat experience. With his powerful spiritual perception, Lin Zheyu could respond and counter swiftly, appearing as though he possessed exceptional combat talent as well.
But Jii Weicheng immediately sensed something amiss. Lin Zheyu's attacks, evasions, and blocks differed greatly from those of martial artists who were born with powerful combat talent. There was a certain abruptness to them. With Jii Weicheng's insight and experience, he quickly guessed the reason.
