Gao Wu: Ten years of sparring experience, one move and the world knows him.

Chapter 160 Martial arts are high
Zhao Rui's words startled the team members present, and even Wang Zhanshan.

He actually wants to take on two people at once!

Everyone stared in astonishment at Zhao Rui, who remained calm and composed, his eyes clear and bright.

He exudes confidence and composure from the inside out.

A year of military service and six months as the chief instructor instilled in him an upright posture and an imposing presence.

Upon seeing this, everyone's hearts skipped a beat.

At that moment, they suddenly understood what it meant to be arrogant and domineering!

"This is the true demeanor of a master!"

Everyone subconsciously turned to look at Wang Dalong and his companion who had challenged them to a fight.

The two men had different expressions at this moment. Although Wang Dalong's eyes were sharp, they also revealed a hint of resentment at being looked down upon, giving people the feeling that he was all bark and no bite.

Cai Zhengyang's expression, however, was much more complex, a mixture of anger, guilt, and annoyance.

A mix of emotions swirled on his face, making him appear particularly conflicted.

To fight or not to fight?

Zhao Rui let out a cold shout, which immediately swept over like rolling thunder, echoing throughout the entire training ground.

"You've gone too far, Zhao Rui, take this!"

Wang Dalong finally couldn't bear the pressure any longer. From childhood to adulthood, he had always been suppressed by Zhao Rui, only at the Martial Arts Academy.

He thought that with his divine skills fully mastered, he could avenge his previous humiliation.

As a result, he actually looked down on me so much.

The pent-up dissatisfaction in his heart erupted instantly. He moved his palms around his waist in quick succession, and the true energy in his palms circulated. Suddenly, a huge dragon-shaped true energy condensed.

The lifelike dragon head roared to the sky. Although there was no actual sound, everyone present felt as if they had truly heard the dragon's roar.

They were all horrified.

"Is this the real Twenty-Eight Subduing Dragon Palms?"

"It actually gathered energy and took shape, transforming into a dragon!"

Wang Zhanshan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Dragon fights in the wild!"

Wang Dalong roared, and the giant dragon instantly raised its head and hurtled towards Zhao Rui at lightning speed.

This imposing manner startled Cai Zhengyang, who was standing beside him.

"Damn, they're all cunning old foxes; they actually kept this up their sleeve!"

Cai Zhengyang was finally convinced; why did these guys all like to keep their trump cards hidden?

Is this level of skill something a True Essence Realm cultivator should possess?

"Well done!"

With a casual wave of his hand, Zhao Rui sent a gust of wind through the team members in front of him, clearing a path for them.

At the same time, his figure swayed, his body surrounded by powerful energy, like a god, and he made hand seals and suddenly swung them forward.

Suddenly, in front of him, walls of ice appeared rapidly solidifying.

These ice walls assemble at an extremely fast speed.

In an instant, six ice walls shimmering with starlight formed.

The dragon's head strode in and crashed into the ice wall with a loud bang.

With a crack, the first ice wall shattered, followed by the second, the third...

"As expected of a peerless martial art with built-in sound and light effects, with the blessing of spiritual energy, it has already captured seven-tenths of the charm of the TV series."

Zhao Rui felt a slight chill in his heart. His figure flickered, and he appeared in mid-air behind the sixth ice wall. The moment the ice wall shattered, he pointed out with a finger.

In an instant, a black beam shot out, piercing straight through the dragon-shaped true energy's body.

The ferocious and imposing dragon was transformed into starlight, which then scattered and drifted away.

Just then, Wang Dalong rushed over and slapped him with his palm.

The vast spiritual energy in his palm made it seem as if it had expanded tenfold, resembling a giant fan, before striking towards Zhao Rui.

Zhao Rui stepped back and swung his palm, his entire arm twisting forward like a whip, until it reached his palm, then suddenly stopped, releasing a tremendous force.

It collided with his Dragon Subduing Palm instantly.

A loud bang was heard.

The true energy surged outwards, like a shockwave, rippling outwards in all directions.

The team members watching below cried out in alarm and scattered in all directions.

"There's been progress; the Dragon Subduing Palm truly lives up to its reputation!"

While praising him aloud, Zhao Rui had already mentally clicked on the system panel notification.

"A copyable martial art has been discovered: the Twenty-Eight Subduing Dragon Palms. Copy it?"

"copy!"

What's there to hesitate about? This palm technique is just too lovable.

"You cannot underestimate me!"

Wang Dalong missed his first move, but then launched a series of attacks, his palms moving like dragons, domineering and unstoppable, as if he were a natural war god.

"The mighty power of heaven, the thunderous roar, all heavenly thunder, heed my command, swiftly!"

Zhao Rui remained fearless, stepping with the Thunder-Invoking Steps and forming the Thunder-Summoning Sword Incantation with his hands.

With fingers joined together, he drew his sword, unleashing a surge of thunderous power that transformed into a thunderous longsword, directly slaying the dragons.

These dragon forms are merely manifestations of true energy, and are naturally different from the true form of the Dharma Image Realm.

Disturbed by the power of thunder, they all turned into ethereal spiritual energy and dissipated.

"Don't just stand there, come over here!"

Since Zhao Rui said he would take on two opponents at once, he definitely would.

Naturally, they wouldn't let Cai Zhengyang hide in a corner and watch the show.

He unleashed a devastating attack with a fiery palm strike.

The fiery serpent, as sharp as a bolt of lightning, exuded a scorching heat, and wherever it passed, it seemed as if the air itself was on fire.

"This intense heat..."

"What kind of martial art is this? These fires are actually real!"

"And was that ice wall also a solid object?"

The onlookers stared blankly, incredulous at the fire serpent that had suddenly appeared before them.

The appearance of this fire serpent.

It completely overturned their understanding of martial arts.

Wang Dalong's dragon-shaped true energy was already frightening enough, but Zhao Rui's fire-burning technique was even more terrifying.

After all, none of them had ever seen a true master of the Dharma Aspect Realm make a move.

While everyone was still in a daze, Guo Wenru was the first to come to her senses and shouted excitedly, "It's my Fiery Palm! It's my Fiery Palm!"

"Go, Captain Zhao!"

The junior sister's fair face, now back to normal, was filled with excitement as she shouted towards the arena.

Everyone then realized that it was Zhao Rui who had saved Guo Wenru from a qi deviation caused by practicing a strange martial art.

Moreover, Captain Zhao later personally helped her open her acupoints and activate her internal energy, enabling her to master this skill.

Could this be the fire-burning technique?

But looking at Zhao Rui's palm technique now, it's completely different from Guo Wenru's!

Is this the perfected fire-based martial art?
Captain Zhao is amazing!

There is no harm without comparison.

As everyone looked towards the battlefield, their expressions grew increasingly solemn, and they had lost all interest in watching the spectacle.

"Zhao Rui, I never said I was going to fight you!"

Cai Zhengyang panicked and became timid in the face of battle.

With a swift movement, he dodged the attack, his words already yielding.

Whether you fight or not is not up to you!

Zhao Rui lunged forward, instantly pulling Cai Zhengyang into the fray as well.

"You forced me to do this!"

Cai Zhengyang's words were weak and listless, showing no sign of fighting back.

"Yes, I forced it!"

"..."

With a bitter expression, Cai Zhengyang had no choice but to use all his skills to join the battle.

His Xuan Yin Sword Finger is also a high-level sword finger martial art. Even at the martial artist stage, he can unleash the power of his finger in mid-air, making it extremely powerful.

Now that he has advanced to the Grandmaster level, he is also experiencing a resurgence of spiritual energy.

The power of the sword pointing at you is now incomparable to what it used to be.

Streams of true energy shot out, like anti-aircraft guns on a warship, sweeping across the sky.

"Good speed, but a bit weak!"

Zhao Rui's figure swayed, his steps were extremely swift, and he appeared and disappeared like a fish in the dense net of true energy.

They easily evaded all attacks.

"Close combat!"

Seeing that the two men's ranged palm strikes were ineffective against Zhao Rui, Wang Dalong roared angrily and took a step forward, closing in on Zhao Rui.

"I know without you saying it!" Cai Zhengyang said with dissatisfaction, and leaned in to attack as well.

The three of them exchanged blows in mid-air in the training ground, the sounds of their collisions like muffled thunder echoing continuously.

Even the students at the martial arts academy outside the Mingchan Academy heard the sound.

"Is someone getting married or having a baby at Narumi-in? It's so lively!"

"Are you stupid? That's clearly the sound of internal energy colliding!"

The student who had spoken opened his eyes wide and suddenly took off running towards Mingchan Courtyard.

As soon as he ran, the others realized what was happening.

Oh no, something terrible has happened!

Upon receiving the news, the students rushed towards Mingchan Academy.

Unfortunately, before they could even reach the entrance of Mingchan Academy, five or six teachers suddenly descended from the sky and landed in front of them.

"They're sparring inside, everyone go back and don't cause trouble."

The teacher in the lead waved his hand, shooing the crowd away.

"Teacher, who's practicing in there? Can't we just take a look?"

"Exactly, and I'll gain some experience too."

The teacher, with a cold face, shook her head and said, "Go back, all of you! What a mess you've made!"

"What a bummer!"

The authority of a martial arts teacher is far greater than that of other subjects. Since the teacher did not allow it, they could only slink back the way they came.

"Do you think it might be those two grandmasters from the martial arts team challenging Captain Zhao?"

"Holy crap, that's actually possible!"

The students who were walking back exclaimed in surprise and turned to look at Mingchan Courtyard.

Their eyes sparkled with gossip.

Just as the students were gathering outside the Mingchan Academy, the battle in the training ground reached a fever pitch.

"The replication progress of the Twenty-Eight Subduing Dragon Palms is 80% complete..."

"The replication progress of the Twenty-Eight Subduing Dragon Palms is 81%..."

Zhao Rui's movements became faster and faster; to onlookers, all they could see were his afterimages.

Wang Dalong was struggling to keep up, and his Dragon Subduing Palm technique became faster and faster.

However, this palm technique is known for its unparalleled ferocity, not for its speed-based approach.

His method of dealing with Zhao Rui was to unleash his powerful inner energy to activate the Dragon Subduing Palm, thereby restricting Zhao Rui's movement and attacks.

But by this time, he had been completely led astray by Zhao Rui.

As for the other participant, Cai Zhengyang, he wasn't much better off.

Although Zhao Rui focused his offensive efforts on Wang Dalong in order to speed up the copying process.

But even this part of his attention was enough to make him suffer.

After all, Zhao Rui's Xuan Yin Sword Finger technique was already highly developed, and under the premise of finger-to-finger contact, Cai Zhengyang appeared even more disheveled than Wang Dalong.

At this point, the two were basically only able to defend themselves, and the outcome was already clear.

"The copying progress of the Twenty-Eight Subduing Dragon Palms is 95% complete..."

"Copying progress is 96% complete."

Just when the project was about to be completed, Wang Dalong seemed to have made up his mind and suddenly shouted, "Cai Zhengyang, you hold him off for two seconds!"

After saying that, he suddenly retreated, while his hands swung wildly.

"Hold!"

Cai Zhengyang was too stunned to even curse, and had to use all his strength to stop Zhao Rui.

Zhao Rui narrowed his eyes slightly.

Suddenly, he unleashed a Fiery Heart-Piercing Palm with his left hand and a Freezing Palm with his right, striking towards Cai Zhengyang.
Cai Zhengyang gritted his teeth and pushed through, and in just a few moments, he was enjoying himself immensely.

A scorching palm strike came, and a wave of intense heat invaded his body. He had just activated his internal energy to respond.

The right palm struck, transforming into an icy palm strike that instantly sent a shiver down one's spine.

The moment he adjusted his position, a fiery palm strike came, burning him so badly he grimaced.

In just two seconds, with only a dozen or so blows, he experienced the extreme sensation of both ice and fire.

"Done yet?"

Cai Zhengyang cried out in anguish.

"Get out of the way!"

Upon hearing this, Cai Zhengyang immediately made a lightning-fast teleportation.

Before he could even stand still, Zhao Rui appeared behind him like a leech.

I dodge!

I dodge!

I'm flashing again!
"Wang Dalong, just kill me!"

Cai Zhengyang suddenly stopped and sat down on the ground with a dejected look on his face.

"Can't you stand up for yourself just this once!"

Zhao Rui didn't expect him to be so shameless, and in anger, he kicked him to the ground.

Then, with a light leap, he jumped into the air and said to Wang Dalong with a smile, "With such a long-lasting ultimate move, all our allies are dead!"

Wang Dalong was panting heavily, not saying a word. His powerful attack, which he had just painstakingly built up, was completely thwarted by Cai Zhengyang and Zhao Rui's hide-and-seek.

"Come again!"

Zhao Rui hadn't finished copying yet, so how could he let him rest? He immediately stepped forward and continued attacking.

Wang Dalong was also unwilling to accept this; he and Cai Zhengyang were ultimately different.

The two immediately engaged in fierce combat again.

In a one-on-one fight, Wang Dalong's combat strength is already invincible in the True Essence Realm.

However, Zhao Rui had already broken through to the Divine Soul Realm, and his combat power was enough to kill people who were above his level.

The results are obvious.

"Dragon Subduing Twenty-Eight Palms copied successfully, reward: one advancement point!"

As this notification sound rang out.

Zhao Rui grabbed Wang Dalong's wrist with one move, and with a slight exertion of force, threw him directly to the ground.

A loud bang was heard.

The players watching from the sidelines were stunned, staring blankly at Zhao Rui, who stood suspended in mid-air.

For a moment, no one dared to make a sound.

It wasn't until Wang Dalong struggled to his feet and shouted at Zhao Rui, "You might not have been able to withstand my move just now. I wouldn't have lost so miserably."

Zhao Rui chuckled, then suddenly waved his hands in front of him like phantoms.

Then, twenty-eight ferocious dragon phantoms suddenly appeared around him.

These dragons either roam freely, meander and coil, or roar to the sky, each with its own unique movements, yet all are vividly lifelike and wondrous.

"This……"

Wang Dalong was shocked and pale.

"The Twenty-Eight Subduing Dragon Palms, the Twenty-Eighth Form: Ten Thousand Dragons Rising to the Sky!"

Zhao Rui uttered a few words calmly, then unleashed a powerful palm strike towards the sky above the martial arts arena.

Instantly, twenty-eight giant dragons roared out and flew into the sky.

The enormous phantom of the divine dragon shimmered with divine light under the sunlight, making it impossible to tell whether it was real or not.

When the dragon appeared, all was silent!

Not only the team members in the training ground, but also the martial arts academy students who were waiting outside for the results.

They all stood there, stunned.

Silence.

Twenty-eight divine dragons soared into the sky, reaching a height of 100 meters, before collapsing into a burst of spiritual light and dissipating.

Half an hour!

The entire training ground erupted in a powerful and sustained burst of enthusiastic applause.

"Captain is mighty!"

"The captain is amazing!"

Cheers rose and fell, echoing throughout the entire Mingchan Courtyard.

As Cai Zhengyang watched Zhao Rui slowly land, his mind was filled with thoughts of how wonderful it would be if it were him.

Wang Dalong collapsed to the ground in despair.

He shook his head and muttered, "How could your Dragon Subduing Palm be so much more powerful than mine!"

Zhao Rui walked up to him gently, patted him on the shoulder and said, "There is no end to martial arts. There is always a higher mountain to climb. The joy of martial arts lies in climbing over one mountain after another."

"If all the mountains are the same height, what's the point of cultivating martial arts if you look around?"

After Zhao Rui finished speaking, he walked towards the crowd outside the martial arts arena.

"Hey, I'm a loser too, can't you give me a word of encouragement!"

Cai Zhengyang was completely dumbfounded!
"Is your skin itchy?"

"..."
