Gao Wu: I became a saint through daily settlements

Lin Yue's arm erupted with tremendous power as he slashed at the man.

Seeing this, the crew-cut boy twisted his body, making a bizarre pose that defied ergonomics.

His upper body was almost parallel to the ground, barely dodging Lin Yue's powerful strike.

"Excellent swordsmanship!"

"Looks like a good source of nourishment!" the Miao warrior laughed.

He then braced himself with one palm on the ground, using the force transmitted from his palm to spin rapidly, his legs straight as arrows, sweeping towards Lin Yue's lower body.

"throat!"

A violent collision of blades exploded out at that moment.

Lin Yue glanced at the Mo Dao in his hand; with that kick, even the hilt of the Mo Dao was slightly bent.

"Such powerful strength," Lin Yue thought to himself.

Immediately afterwards, a blood-red true energy slowly condensed on the palm of the Miao martial artist, emanating a pungent, fishy stench as it swirled around.

"What strange internal energy." Lin Yue frowned, a sense of vigilance rising in his heart.

"Watch out!" Wang Teng warned from the side.

"This Blood Demon Absorption Technique is very strange!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Miao warrior's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile.

"You do have a good eye."

"Unfortunately, it's too late!"

In the blink of an eye, the Miao martial artist struck Lin Yue in the chest with a palm strike.

Lin Yue was unable to dodge in time and took the blow.

The moment the palm strike entered his body, Lin Yue felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his internal energy was being pulled away from his body like silk threads being peeled away.

"This is bad!" Wang Teng said through gritted teeth.

If Lin Yue, as their strongest fighter, is no match for this Miao warrior, then who else can fight him?

Wang Teng tried to struggle to his feet, but unfortunately, he was too heavy and unable to get up.

Hahahaha.

"The feeling of having your true energy sucked away must be very uncomfortable, right?" the Miao warrior sneered.

For an ordinary martial artist, being hit by this move would likely result in a sharp drop in strength.

Because current cultivation methods rely heavily on true qi, and true qi even accounts for a large part of the life energy level rating.

Why can flying warriors fly?

It relies on the abundant internal energy within the body.

Therefore, for most martial artists, the more and purer their true qi, the higher their life energy level and the stronger their strength. It can even be said that true qi is the underlying logic of current cultivation methods.

As for the Blood Demon Technique, a heretical and unorthodox method that absorbs true qi, it will naturally be strictly prohibited by the Martial Arts Alliance.

On Earth, the situation of humans killing each other and fighting for resources ended completely decades ago with the invasion of the alien beasts.

Humanity is now working together to resist the invasion of star beasts. Most martial artists cultivate orthodox cultivation methods that can steadily improve their strength and are extremely lethal to star beasts.

Striving to achieve its own breakthroughs while protecting humanity.

However, a few people choose to exploit loopholes and practice the evil technique of "Stealing Qi and Blood Demon Art".

"Who told you I was going to use my true energy?" Lin Yue shouted, his arm veins bulging, as he swung his Mo Dao at the man again.

He practices ancient martial arts!

Ancient martial arts differ from modern cultivation methods. Ancient martial arts emphasize entering the Tao through the body, cultivating the muscles, bones, and skin!

In ancient martial arts, true qi is merely an added bonus.

Therefore, having his true energy absorbed was neither painful nor bothersome for Lin Yue.

However, because of this, ancient martial arts are no longer compatible with modern rules.

In this day and age, practicing ancient martial arts can be considered going against the will of Heaven.

"What!" The Miao warrior's eyes widened.

"How is this possible!" he exclaimed in shock.

Logically speaking, anyone below the level of a martial arts master who is hit by his palm will inevitably experience a sharp drop in combat power due to the stripping of their true energy from their body.

"Could this person be at least a Martial Master?" The Miao state martial artist wondered.

Martial artists at the Martial Master level and above have reached a new level of control over their internal energy, and can freely control the direction of their internal energy.

Even if hit by his Qi-Stealing Palm, one can promptly seal off their true energy to prevent it from being absorbed in large quantities.

However, most martial artists below the level of martial master, except for a few exceptionally gifted geniuses in true qi, can only barely utilize true qi and are completely unable to prevent its leakage.

"Impossible!" He shook his head.

"If one is at the level of a martial arts master or above, it is impossible to enter this secret realm."

The Nanyang Secret Realm has been off-limits to anyone below the Martial Master level since ancient times.

"I don't understand, I just don't understand!"

Just as the man hesitated, Lin Yue's longsword slashed down at him.

Unlike the plastic weapons used in the previous test, this time we're using real knives and guns!

The destructive power of real weapons far surpasses that of plastic weapons.

Adding to Lin Yue's unparalleled power within the same realm, even a Star Beast would suffer a loss with this strike.

"Pfft." A faint sound of flesh tearing apart came from the air.

Lin Yue's strike was swift and precise, striking the Miao martial artist's arm directly.

The sharp blade severed his arm in an instant, and blood gushed out, staining the ground red.

"Hiss!" The Miao warrior gasped in pain, his shock instantly replaced by excruciating pain.

Wang Teng, who was lying on the ground on the other side, was completely dumbfounded.

"Lin Yue is actually that strong... even this Miao Zhou cultivator is no match for him."

"When I fought him on StarCraft last time, he didn't have such monstrous strength."

"This rate of progress is simply outrageous!"

Wang Teng recalled the scene of his battle with Lin Yue on the Starry Sky Battle Network.

"Alas, what a pity. Our Xuantian Martial Hall was originally the first to discover Lin Yue."

"I never expected that the Starry Sky Martial Hall would steal the prize."

……

"What a prodigy!" the Miao warrior exclaimed inwardly.

He had never seen a martial artist who, after being struck by his Qi-Stealing Palm, could still be so energetic and even have his combat power increased instead of decreased.

"Looks like I've run into a master!" the Miao martial artist thought to himself.

"Damn it, it's all because of those Nether Wolves that caused me to lose so much health!" He glanced at Wang Teng with resentment.

If Wang Teng hadn't used underhanded tactics, how could he have been besieged by the Netherworld Wolves?

After fighting the Netherwolf, he had already lost a lot of his vital energy and true energy. His current life energy level is at most 15.5 or higher.

Originally, he planned to absorb the blood and energy of Wang Teng and others to restore his own blood and energy and reach the peak of the Martial Artist realm.

I never expected to encounter such a formidable enemy.

"Continuing this stalemate will only lead to certain death."

"Run!" That was the only thought in his mind at that moment.

The Miao warrior unleashed an extremely powerful burst of strength in his legs, attempting to escape the area.

"We were so careless!"

"Trying to run? You think you can escape?" Lin Yue shouted.
