"That's an eagle... no, it's a hawk!"

Gu Shaoshang flapped his wings, leaped into the air, and shouted.

He was an expert in Eagle Martial Arts, and he recognized his opponent's style as soon as they exchanged blows, which put him at ease.

To outsiders, hawks and falcons are quite similar and not very different.

However, only those who practice both martial arts can understand the difference, and their true skill is revealed in a single move.

Eagle-style martial arts largely imitate the swooping and seizing motion of an eagle. The movements are fierce and precise, the force is penetrating and tricky, and it emphasizes concentrating the body to store power, ensuring a hit in one strike.

The Yao Xiang martial arts, inspired by the hawk's ability to pierce through the forest and soar into the sky, emphasizes avoiding the strong and attacking the weak, continuous pursuit and attacking, and flexibility.

If we were to draw an analogy, one is a heavy sword with no edge, and the other is a light sword and a fast horse.

However, in nature, eagles rarely lose to hawks of the same rank.

Because eagles have a high margin of error; even if they are hit ten times, a single successful strike can kill the enemy.

Even if a hawk succeeds ten times, it will die if it gets swatted by just one talon.

Therefore, after his initial panic, Gu Shaoshang completely calmed down.

Feeling superior again, he made provocative remarks:

"Fool, didn't your master teach you that the Hawk's martial arts are no match for the Eagle's martial arts?"

Is this happening?
But my sparrow form once beat up a white eagle for decades, and in the end, it obediently raised its tail!
Liu Sheng's gaze sharpened, and he pressed himself close, his fingers like knives piercing the air as he attacked the vital points of his opponent's body.

He hunched over, his arms clenched, moving like a hawk darting through the forest, swift as lightning.

Suddenly, a strange "whooshing" sound echoed from within the eagle's nest, accompanied by turbulent, sharp, and piercing air currents.

Five or six afterimages appeared simultaneously in the arena, blurring the lines between reality and illusion, dazzling the eye.

In reality, Liu Sheng could instantly end the battle by transforming into any one of his three incarnations: the sparrow, the tiger, or the elephant.

But killing is easy, finding a human target is difficult.

A few days later, he would have to go on stage to compete for a spot. He was still relatively unfamiliar with martial arts competitions that were more about friendly sparring.

In short, he is experienced in killing, but in terms of sparring, he is still a novice.

So, it's a good opportunity to practice on Gu Shaoshang and thoroughly understand "Eagle Claw Iron Shirt".

Eat two for one fish.

"Hi!"

A fierce glint flashed in Gu Shaoshang's eyes, and he let out a hawk-like cry.

With a sudden twitch of its iron wings, it formed an iron shell that protected its front, allowing it to withstand hundreds of incoming slashes.

"Crackling~"

In an instant, a series of muffled thuds sounded, like the beating of drums, dense and numerous.

"The defense is alright."

Liu Sheng fought and moved, secretly observing and assessing the power and characteristics of the "Eagle Claw Iron Shirt" technique.

This martial art is quite good. It integrates three techniques: horizontal training, claw, and body techniques. It is both defensive and offensive, highly versatile, and applicable to a wide range of scenarios.

In the world of martial arts, it is a rare and excellent item.

(Note: Jianghu martial arts refer to the martial arts practiced by unaffiliated individuals in the Jianghu (martial arts world), which are usually unsystematic, incomplete, and mostly consist of scattered moves and fragmented techniques. This is in contrast to systematic, inherited, and complete sectarian martial arts.)
They performed well, especially in defense.

Gu Shaoshang's pair of iron wings resembled two tower shields, blocking in front of him. The eagle feathers were fluffy and extremely resilient, and as the force flowed, they neutralized a lot of the attacking power.

Despite being in a sorry state, they managed to block the first round.

"Come again!"

Liu Sheng became interested and gave a low shout.

His body suddenly swayed and became unpredictable, and his palms struck out in rapid succession, leaving behind afterimages.

The characteristics of the Hawk Martial Arts, such as "taking advantage of the situation, avoiding the strong and attacking the weak, and launching a series of attacks", are brought to the fullest extent.

The various minor techniques, such as the upward thrust, the crushing force, the twisting force, and the penetrating force, are all demonstrated.

He opened his mouth and inhaled, his lungs roared and glowed, metal generates water, water generates wood, the essence of the five organs transforms, the metal essence of the lungs transforms into a breath of wood essence of the liver.

When combined with various minor techniques and mixed with qi and blood, it generates a cunning and fierce Ascending Heaven Force!
"Drink!"

Liu Sheng let out a low roar, stomped his feet to the ground, withdrew his palms, and then twisted his waist and hips, channeling his energy upwards.

Like a hawk soaring into the sky, its two palms pierced through and struck the iron wings.

"boom!"

The force of ascending to the sky erupts, like a hawk swooping down, cunning and swift, exploding layer by layer.

"Clap clap~"

In an instant, eagle feathers flew wildly, exploding into chunks of flesh and blood, filling the air with a stench. "Hahaha, useless! I've mastered the true essence of the 'Eagle Claw Iron Shirt' technique, forging a body of steel and iron!"

Gu Shaoshang leaped backward, his iron wings unfurling to reveal his intact body, and let out a strange laugh:

"Your weakling only caused a minor scratch... Pfft!"

Before he could finish speaking, he spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes bulged out, and blood gushed from his seven orifices.

Beads of blood seeped from under the skin, staining the eagle's feathers a dark red.

This... is just a minor scratch?

Liu Sheng stood upright, with a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth.

Do you understand the true value of the phrase "reaching the pinnacle"?

Moreover, this "Hawk Ascending to Heaven Skill" is a near-superior martial art that can condense true blood and has the "Strengthening Illusion Method," which can be used to enter the Dao and lay the foundation.

It easily surpasses "Eagle Claw Iron Shirt".

Most importantly, I was holding back the whole time, afraid of killing you and losing my practice tool.

You actually got smug about it?
"Very well, you disciples of sects are born into luxury and have no idea of ​​the hardships of life. You are always putting others in your way!"

Gu Shaoshang's eyes were bloodshot, his face filled with resentment and venom, his expression deranged.
"It's always like this. He forces me, you force me, you all force me... you all force me!"

His facial features contorted, becoming increasingly bizarre and ferocious.

With a series of cracking sounds, his muscles and bones rapidly expanded, making him taller and larger. His feathers fell off, and he became a bald "birdman".

Then... a new layer grew.

Darker, sharper, denser.

It has become a living... eagle spirit!
Suddenly, a bloody wind arose, and a murderous aura filled the air.

No, it can transform twice?
Could it be——

Delusions overwhelm the body, turning one into a demon?
Liu Sheng recalled what his master had said that day...

True form martial artists, during the True Energy Blood Exchange stage, will develop delusions and engage in a struggle between two minds.

This stage is extremely dangerous; it's either a great success or a crushing defeat.

Success will lay a solid foundation for the future; failure will reduce it to a monster.

The young Gu Shaoshang before me probably belongs to the latter category, his body seized by the delusions within his blood, turning him into a demon.

No wonder he behaved so strangely before, eating raw meat and drinking blood like a wild beast.

Perhaps he has been entangled in delusions for a long time, with only a sliver of his true nature remaining.

Then the previous thread of true nature was defeated by me, and delusions took advantage of the situation and seized control of my body.
What does this have to do with me!
Liu Sheng remained calm and composed, his expression growing increasingly excited.

Everyone says that turning evil makes you ten times stronger, and I was just too restrained to use my full strength...

Now we can really go all out and fight!

"cracking!"

Suddenly, a mournful eagle cry rang out from the nest.

In an instant, a strong wind arose, eagle feathers fluttered wildly, and sand and dust stung the eyes.

Taking advantage of the situation, Gu Shaoshang pounced out with astonishing speed, appearing above Liu Sheng's head in the blink of an eye. His iron claws descended, their tips like hooks, piercing straight into the sky.

"Roar!"

Liu Sheng took a deep breath, his chest and abdomen bulging, and he roared like a tiger.

Like a ferocious tiger roaring in the forest, its power is awe-inspiring, and the cliffs rustle as rocks fall like rain.

Gu Shaoshang felt his head sink, and his descending claws slowed down by a fraction.

Then, it was firmly grasped by a pair of broad and strong hands—

"Hehe... Die!"

Liu Sheng raised both arms high, each grabbing a claw, his muscles bulging, his lungs roaring, and his divine power erupting completely.

Gu Shaoshang felt a tremendous force invade his claws, shattering his internal strength and blood, tearing him apart in a devastating manner.

The excruciating pain came like a tidal wave, and then—

"Stab~"

Like tearing silk, its body, which was over two zhang tall, was ripped in two.

Blood was spilled everywhere, and livers and brains were scattered on the ground.
