Chapter 827 - 607 Martial Arts Clash
The sudden confrontation between Ji Wu and Li Yi was unexpected for everyone in the council hall, yet they did not stop this spectacle because it was a contest of Fist Intent between two Martial Artists.
As long as it did not result in casualties, they were rather pleased to witness such minor conflicts.
Besides adding a bit of fun, it also provided insight into the clash of different worlds, different people, and different cultivation methods. As both Evolvers and Cultivators, they were very eager to observe the truth in it.
However, as the competition of Fist Intent ended, the victor seemed to be Li Yi, as he took a step forward while Ji Wu from the Martial Arts World took a step back.
The difference of a step seems to clearly distinguish the winner and the loser.
Ji Wu looked at his own backward half-step at this moment, his whole person stunned for a bit, and then suddenly raised his head to look at Li Yi: "I didn’t lose in the competition of Fist Intent, why did this happen?"
He was not the only one with this doubt.
Others also had this question.
Indeed, when the Fist Intent erupted earlier, it stirred a spiritual storm after both sides clashed, so logically they should have been evenly matched, yet in the end, Ji Wu took a step back, losing a move?
Li Yi only said calmly: "My martial arts originate from a world called the Four Seas and Eight Continents, where Spiritual Energy is scarce, life is tough, and only martial arts can help people rise above hardships. Under such circumstances, a Martial Artist from that place has a distinctive trait when confronting others: once they engage in a fight, they must suppress opponents with their fists, and they can only advance, not retreat, as retreat means death."
"A Martial Artist’s world where, once you throw a punch, you can’t step back?" Ji Wu was greatly shocked upon hearing this. His complexion changed unpredictably because he could feel from this fragmentary word the brutality of the struggles between Martial Artists.
With a single punch, both superiority and life are decided.
