Chapter 180: 【109】Benefits of high spirit, enemy drills_2
Just as Wang Longhu's heel struck Lu Tieying, his body exploded instantly, unable to withstand the power and fierceness of such an authoritative kick from Wang Longhu.
Qi Haijiao started with the Hong Fist, and in an instant, he was in front of Wang Longhu, aiming directly at the side of his face and ear, as the roots of the ear are a fragile part of the human body.
If hit by a master, it can cause anything from ringing in the ears to a concussion or, in severe cases, instant death.
Wang Longhu's kick instantly killed Lu Tieying, creating a momentary gap with several weaknesses exposed. As Qi Haijiao attacked, Wang Longhu twisted with one leg, rolling backward just in time to dodge Qi Haijiao's assault and kill.
But the opponent immediately pressed forward, giving Wang Longhu no chance to breathe. Wang Longhu raised his hand to block and suddenly thrust his knee upwards, sacrificing his neck to Qi Haijiao's blow, shattering Qi Haijiao's entire chest and instantly stopping his heart from beating.
Suddenly, the room only had Lu Pingshan's silhouette left.
He was like a robot, moving at the moment Qi Haijiao died.
He stepped with the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams formation, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at Wang Longhu's side, striking his waist with one palm and attacking the back of his head with the other.
Lu Pingshan's speed was clearly much faster than the previous three; Wang Longhu turned around with a backward roll, using both palms for support, and swept a high kick toward Lu Pingshan's head.
Lu Pingshan reacted extremely quickly, grabbing Wang Longhu's ankle with both hands, trying to lift him completely off the ground.
With Lu Pingshan's peak Dark Force power, once lifted off the ground, the outcome was certainly fatal.
At this critical moment, Wang Longhu exerted his Dark Force with one leg, shaking off Lu Pingshan's hands while stabbing a finger towards Lu Pingshan's groin, causing Lu Pingshan's figure to vanish.
The room returned to quiet.
"Whew... whew... whew..." Wang Longhu got up from the ground, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
In the past few days, he had gained potential points through tonic wine and frenzied eating, all of which he added to Spirit.
The enhancement of his Spirit attribute gradually led Wang Longhu to discover many uses he had not thought of before.
Like the recent 'Martial Arts practice.'
A person's Spirit is connected to imagination; when someone has a high Spirit, they can imagine anything in their mind, and if not bothered by complications, they can even construct a complete movie.
The higher a person's Spirit, the more realistic their fantasies become.
Once Wang Longhu increased his Spirit beyond 2.0, he found he could create a series of opponents in his mind to spar with.
No other person could see these opponents; they only existed in Wang Longhu's mind and imagination.
But the sparring between these opponents was real, drawn entirely from Wang Longhu's previous encounters and combat experiences with Nalan Lei, Lu Tieying, Qi Haijiao, and Lu Pingshan, then practiced further.
"Previously, when my Spirit was at 1 point something, I found Lu Tieying and Qi Haijiao very fast, but now their moves seem like they're in slow motion to me. It's easy to dodge or block them without serious effort. That's the benefit of raising Spirit; even my reaction and observation abilities have significantly improved," Wang Longhu pondered.
In essence, Martial Arts aim to enable a Martial Artist to kill, and to succeed in killing rather than being killed boils down to three points.
The power of the strike is enough; best to incapacitate in one blow.
The ability to endure hits is strong; best to withstand blows without dying.
The reaction speed is fast; best to dodge moves upon sight.
Wang Longhu's strength, constitution, and Spirit perfectly align with these three aspects.
Once he raises his Spirit to 4.0, even if Lu Pingshan were to come back to peak form, it would be challenging for him to be Wang Longhu's match.
Wang Longhu picked up the tonic wine from the ground and walked out to the corridor, standing quietly by the railing blowing the night breeze.
Master Wei and Five Master believe he has the potential to achieve Huajin within five years, but Wang Longhu doesn't think he needs that long.
Gazing at the mountains hazily revealing themselves in the moonlight outside the factory, Wang Longhu drank deeply, feeling content; nothing more needed to be said.
No days or months in the mountain, heat or cold unknown by the years.
Once Zheng Dongliang left, the factory returned to its former calm.
Wang Longhu was elusive daily, so much so that even Huang Ao couldn't find him when he wanted to invite him for drinks. Over time, everyone grew accustomed and gradually ignored the fact that Wang Longhu lived in the factory.
"Roar!"
In the primal forest a few hundred miles away from the factory, a man and a tiger stared at each other.
The man, gunless, sat freely on the ground, gazing calmly at the wild tiger opposite him, as if it was merely a small cat in front of him at that moment.
On the other hand, the tiger, though superior in size and momentum, had its fur bristled, baring its maw and nervously eyeing the human.
In the forest, the distinct status should be clear, but at this moment, everything was reversed.
Wang Longhu stared at the tiger gazing at him from a distance, his muscles completely relaxed, with a slightly hidden smile on his face, looking as if nothing out of the ordinary compared to usual.
Yet the tiger was in a state of wanting to charge forward while also considering retreat, as if this human was an uncertain challenge in its eyes.
