Before Lu Yu could counterattack, the Light Shadow Warrior's assault came at him again, streams of radiant light continuously appearing in Lu Yu's field of vision. By the time he saw the light, he was already hit.
The Light Shadow Warrior's attack speed was extremely quick, so fast that Lu Yu had no chance to defend. Without the opportunity to defend, Lu Yu decided to abandon defense and trade blows with his opponent, to see who would fall first.
The Light Shadow Warrior, skilled in light-speed martial arts, had remarkable attack power within the Qi Cultivation realm. However, against Lu Yu, his attack power was slightly lacking and unable to inflict heavy damage on him.
In the successive exchange of blows, the Light Shadow Warrior could not withstand Lu Yu's attacks. After delivering his last punch, his body dispersed, transforming into countless light dots and disappearing within the Secret Realm.
[Defeated a Qi Cultivation realm martial arts Grandmaster's shadow, gained 10,456 experience points, additionally gained 6,300 martial arts experience points]
[Detected that the player has no martial arts to improve, martial arts experience points converted to skill mastery]
[Thousand Illusions Streaming Light Fist (Grade Eight Spiritual Martial Art), Not Mastered (6300/100000)]
An unexpected surprise, Lu Yu hadn't anticipated that defeating a Light Shadow Warrior would grant him cultivation experience in the opponent's martial art. The experience points provided by the Light Shadow Warrior were incredibly rich, almost comparable to defeating a Martial Cultivator at the Qi Circulation realm.
Recalling the scene he saw earlier on the Celestial Patrol Treasure Ship, the barren land was filled with Light Shadow Warriors that could provide a wealth of experience points, each one a mobile experience jackpot.
"I wonder if there are any other players who have entered the Martialist Secret Realm?" Lu Yu walked towards the outskirts of Fist Seal Valley, where numerous disciples from various factions gathered, making it difficult to compete for the Light Shadow Warriors.
Compared to slaying Qi Cultivation realm Martial Cultivators, it was easier to kill Light Shadow Warriors, and the experience gained was far richer.
Not long after, Lu Yu encountered another Light Shadow Warrior skilled in boxing, using a set of powerful and massive force techniques, matching Lu Yu's strength without falling behind.
Eventually, Lu Yu exploited the flaw in the opponent's heavy and powerful style, which lacked flexibility and adaptability, employing the Eight Steps of Chasing Cicada Shifting Form and Position to strike the critical part of the Light Shadow Warrior, causing it to disperse into points of light.
[Defeated a Qi Cultivation realm martial arts Grandmaster's shadow, gained 10,321 experience points, additionally gained 6,000 martial arts experience points]
[Detected that the player has a martial art that can be improved: Thousand Illusions Streaming Light Fist, absorb martial arts experience points?]
[Note: Choosing 'no' will retain the 'Mountain-Opening and Earth-Shaking Fist' (Grade Seven Spiritual Martial Arts)]
Lu Yu chose to absorb the martial arts experience points, increasing proficiency in Thousand Illusions Streaming Light Fist. Although Mountain-Opening and Earth-Shaking Fist suited someone with his immense strength, its flaws were too apparent.
After absorbing the martial arts experience points of Mountain-Opening and Earth-Shaking Fist, Lu Yu realized he still retained a small portion of the cultivation experience memory of it, with the cultivation memories of Thousand Illusions Streaming Light Fist and Mountain-Opening and Earth-Shaking Fist merging together.
"The speed of Thousand Illusions Streaming Light Fist compensates for the lack of flexibility in Mountain-Opening and Earth-Shaking Fist, while the strength of the latter compensates for the lack of power in the former. Seems quite excellent."
"It's just a pity that the cultivation experience memories related to both martial arts are too few, not forming a system. Actively trying to merge them would be impossible. Unless I encounter more Light Shadow Warriors trained in both forms, or else I spend experience points to fill the gaps in cultivation experience memory," Lu Yu pondered as he walked.
Lu Yu was uncertain about the exact size of Fist Seal Valley. After walking for nearly ten minutes at his speed, he still hadn't left the valley's perimeter, which seemed somewhat alarming.
It's hard to imagine how gigantic the fist that created such a vast valley must have been.
"Friend, lend me a hand; this Light Shadow Warrior's martial arts just happens to restrain me. I'm having trouble beating it, could you help me deal with it? As thanks, I'll give you a map of the Martialist Secret Realm drawn by my family. It makes finding inheritances much easier,"
An exhausted man, chased by a Light Shadow Warrior, suddenly appeared in front of Lu Yu, speaking rapidly and asking Lu Yu to deal with the pursuer.
Lu Yu initially intended to avoid him, but noticed that the Light Shadow Warrior behind the man also used the Thousand Illusions Streaming Light Fist, so he stood waiting for him to approach.
The man ran past Lu Yu, and upon seeing two people in front of him, the Light Shadow Warrior hesitated slightly before choosing to attack the nearest one, Lu Yu.
Knowing that the best way to face a speed-type boxer was to contest force against force, Lu Yu prevented the opponent from establishing his rhythm.
Against the Light Shadow Warrior, Lu Yu opened with a heavy punch, ignoring its attack and fiercely striking the Light Shadow Warrior. The Warrior, upon being hit, faltered in his offensive, losing any chance to strike again.
Lu Yu's powerful assault interrupted the Light Shadow Warrior's attack; Thousand Illusions Streaming Light Fist couldn't show its power at all. Even attempting to engage in a boxing match with Lu Yu resulted in his fists being slammed back by Lu Yu.
Within Lu Yu's presence, the Thousand Illusions Streaming Light Fist, without a fast-attacking tempo, stood no chance to retaliate.
Bam—Lu Yu pinned the Light Shadow Warrior down, unleashing a crushing blow, scattering countless points of light into the skies. The man intending to attack stealthily from behind swallowed nervously and quietly stowed away his belongings.
This person is ruthless, cannot win in a fight!
Noting that the martial arts experience points provided by the Light Shadow Warrior were less than the previous two, only 5,200.
No wonder Lu Yu found this Light Shadow Warrior weaker, with even more flaws in its boxing.
Lu Yu turned towards the man who lured the Light Shadow Warrior, noticing a cold sweat drip down his cheek. After a moment of inner struggle, the man obediently handed over the so-called Martialist Secret Realm map.
Holding the map, Lu Yu noticed the lines and circles with some simple annotations and asked in disbelief, "Is this what you call a map of the Martialist Secret Realm?"
Seeing the dissatisfaction on Lu Yu's face, Huo Ke hurriedly leaned over the map and explained, "The locations of inheritances left by several strong individuals differ each time, these circles denote the approximate areas where inheritances appear."
"For instance, the circle marked 'Fist Seal' represents an inheritance that generally appears in the southwestern corner of Fist Seal Valley. This line represents Sword Abyss, another line indicates Blade Cliff, and this circle signifies Limitless Finger Cavern..."
Huo Ke's explanation seemed convincing, yet if the circles and lines on the map didn't all appear so similar, Lu Yu might have believed him.
Rather than being intrigued by so-called strong individuals' inheritances, Lu Yu was more interested in the shadow of a strong individual possessing dual spiritual power of ice and fire. He asked, "I want to find a position of a strong individual with dual ice and fire spiritual power. Do you know where it is?" Follow current novᴇls on NovᴇlFir(e).nᴇt
At the same time, Lu Yu was puzzled by something: why was "he" able to use Spiritual Power within the Martialist Secret Realm?
Perhaps he was just too powerful!
