Chapter 789 231: Champion's Lecture: The Art of Technique
After the demonstration, the Champion Fighter returned to the stone pillar.
"The third technique, Soul Suppressing."
The Champion Fighter drew its fists to its waist, its Qi Blood Power suddenly retracting, as if all its strength was compressed to the extreme.
In the next moment, it thrust its fists forward, a crimson shadow of a Fierce Beast appeared on its fists, opening its bloody maw and letting out a thunderous roar.
Roar!
Amidst the roar, an invisible Suppression swept across the Competition Square, making all warriors feel as if their souls were violently struck, their spirits shaken, their Qi-Blood surging.
Some weaker warriors even directly kneeled on the ground, faces pale.
Phase Kill was among them, veins bulging on his forehead, feeling like a lone boat in a storm, at any moment being swallowed by the massive waves of the ocean.
"The technique of Soul Suppressing uses Qi-Blood to deter the opponent's mind, causing mental Suppression."
At this moment, the roar suddenly dissipated.
The Champion Fighter abruptly stopped, its feet firmly rooted on the stone pillar, the Qi Blood Power around it condensed into a heavy Shield, like an immovable mountain.
"The fourth technique, Rock."
The Champion Fighter crossed its arms in front of its chest, then used Qi-Blood to conjure a virtual enemy not far in front.
As soon as the virtual enemy formed, it approached the Champion Fighter, punching like raindrops falling, yet unable to move the Champion Fighter even slightly.
"The technique of Rock emphasizes using stillness to counter movement, using defense as offense. In battle, defense is not passive, but a means to find the opponent's Flaws. Only when oneself is as stable as a mountain can one be invincible."
With those words, the Champion Fighter's form suddenly became ethereal, like a reflection under moonlight, the figure blurred and hard to capture.
The attacks demonstrated now focused not on straight lines but curves and detours, shadows of fists falling like moonlight, indistinguishable from reality.
"The fifth technique, Illusion Moon."
"The technique of Illusion Moon emphasizes the blend of reality and illusion, creating deception. If you can confuse the opponent's judgment, you'll create more opportunities for victory."
At this point, the Champion Fighter's form became light, its steps flowing like clouds, as if merged with the surrounding environment.
The movements appeared slow but carried a strong sense of rhythm, each step perfectly dodging the virtual enemy's attacks.
The hands brushed like a gentle breeze over water, soft yet elusive, occasionally giving a light push to redirect the opponent's force aside.
"The sixth technique, Flowing Cloud."
"The technique of Flowing Cloud emphasizes leveraging and responding to Force. No matter how strong an opponent's power is, if you can skillfully guide it, it can be turned to your advantage. Flowing Cloud is like water, moving with the currents."
"The seventh technique...."
At the end of the demonstration, the Champion Fighter slowly withdrew its stance, the surging Qi-Blood fluctuations on its body gradually calming, as if all energy returned within.
Its breathing was steady, its gaze calm:
"The tenth technique, Returning Essence."
"The technique of Returning Essence focuses on recovery and adjustment in combat."
"The exhaustion in battle is unavoidable. How to quickly recover Qi-Blood and adjust your state during a fight is a technique every warrior must master. Only by making the body like an infinite ocean, absorbing Heaven and Earth Energy like rivers into the sea, can you achieve Returning Essence and a continuous cycle of life."
"Next, follow my breathing rhythm, try to draw nature's spiritual energy into your body…."
The practical application of these skills made Phase Kill's heart race wildly.
He could clearly feel the terrifying combat techniques displayed by the Champion Fighter.
It was not just a demonstration of Strength but a perfect control over Qi-Blood, the body, and Willpower.
As the strongest of the new generation in the real world's Blood Kill City, he felt that the body techniques he learned before were barely scratching the surface compared to the Champion Fighter's skills.
After several hours, the session ended.
The Champion Fighter's gaze swept over the figures on the square, flames igniting in its crimson eyes:
"Strength without technique is just Barbaric Force; technique without Strength is just a trick. Only by integrating Strength and technique can one grow stronger with each battle. When you regard every fight as an opportunity for growth and honing, you can forge yourself into an invincible blade."
With those words, the Champion Fighter's form slowly faded, as if it had never appeared.
Phase Kill and the Alien Race Warriors on the square, however, found it difficult to calm down, their eyes filled with Shock and reverence, as if they had undergone a spiritual baptism.
Even though the explanations left them no time to digest.
But every warrior managed to learn something, more or less.
With the lesson concluded, Space Spirit Patterns appeared under all the warriors' feet, collectively teleporting them back to their respective Competition Ladder levels.
Back in his room, Phase Kill decisively summoned the forum interface, preparing to save the Champion Fighter's lesson video.
But after thinking it over, he decisively turned to the forum.
Just as he expected, before he returned, some player had already completed editing the video content and uploaded it to the forum.
No need to do it himself; he could save it directly.
Not rushing to start the next duel, he began rewatching the Champion Fighter's course.
The advantage of the video was that he could drag the progress bar anytime, watching unfathomable sections repeatedly.
He could also slow down the footage to see the Champion Fighter's demonstrating actions clearly.
This greatly improved his learning efficiency.
Rewatching, a particular phrase from the Champion Fighter deeply impressed Phase Kill.
"The strongest combat technique lies in the use of 'Force,' turning your emotions into a blade to cleave the opponent's mind."
"You can understand Force as an invisible power, originating from yourself but influencing the outside world. It can be high morale and an indomitable belief, or a calm mind, precise judgment… The formation of Force requires the integration of your emotions, Willpower, and spirit, turning the intangibles into tangible, making it a formidable weapon for victory."
