Chapter 1890 - 1891: The Power of the Shadow Burst Fist
"Brother Lin Chen! You are indeed a formidable opponent! I respect you greatly! And because I respect you, I will use my strongest power to defeat you!"
Upon hearing Qin Hao's words, Lin Chen smiled as well. He knew Qin Hao was speaking the truth, not out of pride or anything else; it came from a genuine respect for Lin Chen as a powerful opponent.
Lin Chen smiled slightly, then said:
"Brother Qin Hao, utilize whatever skills you have, I can take it."
Qin Hao heard this and laughed heartily:
"Hahaha, that's good. Brother Lin Chen, you have to be careful, this move of mine is not weak!"
After speaking, Qin Hao took a deep breath, and then the fiery True Yuan within him burst forth once again. He clasped his hands together, forming one hand seal after another, and his aura gradually climbed to its peak.
At this time, the True Yuan within Qin Hao flowed along a peculiar route, finally gathering within the meridians on his arms. Even from the outside, one could see his palms emanating a fiery light.
Finally, at a certain moment, Qin Hao's aura reached its peak. His eyes turned sharp, staring at Lin Chen, and he said:
"This divine technique is called Fire Cloud Overlapping Waves, brother Lin Chen, watch closely!"
Immediately, Qin Hao roared, stomped his foot fiercely, and charged straight toward Lin Chen, with fiery True Yuan swirling around him, seeming as if he was engulfed in flames.
He then thrust a palm directly at Lin Chen, his fiery True Yuan ascending, resembling a cloud dispersing.
"Fire Cloud Palm!"
At this moment, Lin Chen dared not neglect, unleashing the aura of the peak of True Yuan, surprisingly managing to resist the imposing presence of Qin Hao.
Then, the True Yuan within Lin Chen swiftly circulated, and he clenched his right hand into a fist, fiercely striking out, his fist surrounded by divine brilliance, like a cannonball, directly colliding with Qin Hao's palm.
Upon first contact, Lin Chen immediately felt a surge of violent True Yuan transmitted from his fist, and he soon was forced back, stepping back a full five steps.
However, Lin Chen's full-force strike also caused Qin Hao's technique to lose its momentum.
"Is that all?"
Just as Lin Chen puzzled over why Qin Hao's technique seemed so weak, suddenly waves of fiery True Yuan surged from Qin Hao's palm again, like waves cresting over one another, the momentum far surpassing that of his previous palm!
"Brother Lin Chen, my technique has a unique approach, divided into three moves, each stronger than the last. This is the second move, Overlapping Waves!"
After speaking, Qin Hao didn't bother to explain further and directly lunged at Lin Chen, once again with that palm, but the momentum was probably twice that of before!
Seeing this, Lin Chen furrowed his brows and murmured:
"Looks like I have no choice but to use my divine technique!"
At this point, Qin Hao's attack was already imminent, the scorching aura blowing at Lin Chen's robes and hair.
Lin Chen squinted, and soon his True Yuan wreaked havoc within, circulating along a mysterious meridian route, eventually gathering in his arm.
At this moment, Qin Hao's attack was already near!
Immediately, Lin Chen let out a low shout:
"Shadow Burst Fist!"
Then, the originally released True Yuan on Lin Chen retracted weirdly, leaving only a trace of white divine brilliance on the surface of his fist, appearing bland as he punched toward Qin Hao's imposing palm.
Qin Hao furrowed his brows. Although he found it odd, he had no intention of holding back, thinking that if Lin Chen couldn't defend against it, he would stop.
Thus, the two's attacks finally collided.
There was no earth-shattering noise; Qin Hao merely felt a powerful force transmitted through his palm, but this power was completely within his control.
"Brother Lin Chen, if your skill is only this, then you've lost! Overlapping Waves!"
After speaking, Qin Hao's palm unleashed its power once again, charging straight at Lin Chen.
But at this moment, Lin Chen suddenly shouted:
"Explode!"
It was as if his words were a command, Qin Hao's motion suddenly halted, then he gaped at Lin Chen, his face turning red and then pale, all at once his aura weakened.
Seeing this, Lin Chen retracted his fist and said:
"Quickly sit down and cultivate to balance your True Yuan!"
Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Qin Hao wasted no time, immediately sitting cross-legged, constantly harmonizing his True Yuan. Just a moment ago, a strange white force suddenly appeared in his body and exploded. Upon reflection, he knew it was Lin Chen's technique.
It was indeed Lin Chen's divine technique:
"Shadow Burst Fist!"
At this time, after cultivation, Lin Chen could instantly unleash all the power of three explosions, breaking Qin Hao's looming divine technique in an unsuspecting moment, with his True Yuan thrown into disarray, necessitating immediate adjustment.
In truth, this was Lin Chen showing restraint, lest Qin Hao spit up several mouthfuls of blood.
It must be said, Lin Chen's Shadow Burst Fist was so elusive. A punch that seemed ordinary resulted in an explosive force within, catching opponents off-guard.
Moreover, Lin Chen acquired this Shadow Burst Fist by a stroke of luck, and even with his formidable Soul Power, it took him a long time to achieve the triple explosion level.
Fortunately, Qin Hao's True Yuan was profound; after adjusting for a while, he stood up. Though his face was still somewhat pale, he was fine.
With a complex gaze towards Lin Chen, he then remarked:
"Brother Lin Chen, you are superior, I concede!"
No matter how much Qin Hao pondered, he hadn't expected to fall to a Martial Artist at the fourth stage of True Yuan.
He initially thought Lin Chen's strength was notable, but out of a competitive desire, he tested Lin Chen, only to encounter an iron wall, even he, a battle fanatic, had to admire Lin Chen's might. Using a single divine technique rendered him powerless throughout.
Additionally, he noticed Lin Chen hadn't even used a weapon. Given his fourth-stage strength executing such an achievement, Qin Hao could only submit graciously.
"Brother Lin Chen, since you won, I'll keep my promise and withdraw from the arena!"
With that, Qin Hao shook his head, intending to step down.
Lin Chen hurriedly said:
"Brother Qin Hao, there's no need. With your strength, entering the top two hundred is easy!"
