Chapter 81 - 66 Combat Skill
All the people at the training ground watched as Lu Yue was carried away on a stretcher.
They had anticipated many outcomes, but no one had expected Lu Yue to be defeated by Li Yi with a single punch.
Everyone was a Spirit Medium Realm cultivator, and although there might be some gap in strength between them, it wasn’t supposed to be so overwhelming. Yet Li Yi managed to do just that. It should be noted that his punch had hit Lu Yue’s arms, which were used for defense, not a vital spot.
Still, Lu Yue couldn’t withstand it, and nearly lost his life. No, it wasn’t because Li Yi couldn’t kill him with one punch, but because Lu Yue wasn’t an enemy, Li Yi had held back.
Realizing this, everyone fell silent.
If Lu Yue had lost so miserably, if it were them, they would have perished with just one punch, without any chance to retaliate. No wonder in the movies, extras die with just a hit when facing the main character. Such outrageous things do happen in reality; they just never imagined they would be those extras.
"Is Li Yi’s fist really that terrifying? Even Lu Yue, the annoying guy, couldn’t take one punch and had to be sent directly to the hospital for treatment."
"That’s not just a punch, that’s a technique, a terrifying boxing technique. Lu Yue didn’t lose to Li Yi; he lost to that technique," a cultivator named Liu Yu said in a subdued voice.
"Liu Yu, stop making excuses. We all learn combat skills; why can’t you beat Lu Yue? It’s simply because you’re not as skilled. Lu Yue losing to Li Yi is the same; it’s not just about a technique that can bridge all gaps. Believe it or not, even if you learn that technique, you still wouldn’t be able to beat Li Yi," another person named Zhang Jikai retorted.
"You’re right; sometimes, it’s not about the difference in techniques, but in people. We should be glad that someone like Li Yi is our colleague, not our enemy. I certainly don’t want to face such a terrifying opponent in future missions, where I might die without even knowing how."
"Haha, Lu Yue certainly had it coming, always looking for spar partners. Now he’s gotten himself defeated by Li Yi. Looking at him, he won’t be out of the hospital for a good ten to twenty days. But speaking of Li Yi, I recall now, a homicide in the old district seven days ago was related to him. Single-handedly, he killed eight Spirit Medium Realm cultivators, extremely ferocious. I didn’t expect him to be recruited into the Investigation Bureau so quickly."
