Daily life of a teacher in the martial arts department

"ended."

Kui spoke calmly and casually, his words destined to reach Ying Qin Guan's ears after his attack struck. But at that critical moment... Ying Qin Guan suddenly moved.

It's moving very strangely.

It was less of a movement and more of a "translation." His footwork was terrifyingly illusory. Without slowing down, he made a completely impossible displacement. The displacement was small, but it directly caused Kui's palm to miss, while Ying Qin Guan's palm was brought even closer to Kui!

This palm strike, delivered from below, landed on Kui's chin in a rising dragon motion, sending him slightly airborne. Ying Qin Guan then turned and kicked out with a powerful burst of internal energy, its light radiating outwards, sending Kui flying.

The levitation state remains Kui's greatest weakness. Under normal circumstances, this kick wouldn't even make Kui retreat more than a few meters. But while levitation-enhanced, Kui's body flew out like a cannonball, traversing a distance of tens of meters, and slammed heavily against the wall of the arena!

However, Ying Qin Guan's strength was ultimately inferior to Kui's, and Kui's weight was also far greater than that of Ying Qin Guan and Fei Cun Tan Ying. So after smashing into the wall and barely creating a human-shaped crater, Kui managed to regain his balance.

Being knocked back, being sent flying... these are not surprising things. What really caught Kui's attention, and everyone else's, attention was Ying Qin Guan's strange footwork.

"That is...?"

"Am I seeing things? Why did it suddenly shift?!"

"It's not about why he moved, but why he was able to move at that moment, even throwing a punch!"

"Is this some kind of movement technique? It's too fantastical..."

The conversations outside the arena continued. Quite a few martial artists had come to watch the battle between Ying Qin Guan and Kui, but they could only catch a glimpse of the fight; their dynamic vision couldn't keep up. However, Ying Qin Guan's bizarre horizontal movement was simply too strange. It was like in basketball, one person jumps, another tries to block him, but the first person gets stuck in mid-air at the highest point, only shooting after the other person has completely landed... This was simply too outrageous.

But whether it was hang time or was truly stuck in mid-air, from such a distance, coupled with insufficient dynamic vision, it was basically impossible to see clearly or distinguish, but only Kui... he could see it clearly.

He jumped down from the wall and slowly walked to Ying Qin Guan's side. It took him nearly twenty seconds to walk at a moderate pace over a distance of several dozen meters before he stopped twenty meters away from Ying Qin Guan.

"Just now... how did you move?"

Even if you ask me that, I don't know the principle behind it.

"do not know?"

"Yes."

"This move... you stole it?"

"I saw it."

"...Interesting, and more than just interesting."

"I think so too."

Kui twisted his neck, and a series of crackling sounds followed.

He reached out and tore off his tattered shirt, revealing a muscular physique with a classical beauty. He took a deep breath, his pupils seemingly disappearing for a moment, and his muscles seemed to inflate, swelling as if they were filled with air. His once bronze muscles had turned dark red, with countless menacing veins faintly visible beneath. The terrifying pressure even traveled through the television, reaching the eyes of everyone who saw this scene. The entire arena fell silent, and this terrifying silence continued to spread until it dominated everything.

Because such a figure... if one had to describe him, it would be...

It has a kind of godlike feel to it.

"I'm thinking, since you didn't bring any weapons, isn't it a bit unfair to use this form..."

Kui lowered his head slightly.

"However, I suppose you don't care. Besides, it's not my style to keep getting beaten up without being able to retaliate effectively, so I'll just give you a heads-up."

He stretched out his body, as if to proclaim unparalleled, peerless violence.

"Don't die."

Chapter 46 Why Not Worry

boom!

boom!

boom!

The dull, heavy sound, like the continuous beating of a large drum, echoed throughout the great arena, causing all who heard it to change their expressions drastically, followed by fear and retreat.

That sound... was actually Kui's heartbeat.

So powerful, so awe-inspiring, it was as if his heart was a giant hammer, pounding viciously against his chest, as if trying to force all living beings to their knees.

"What is this, the second form?"

"Ah...I guess so, do you have one?"

“Who would have something like that…” Ying Qin Guan said, striking a pose. “Come on… let me see how much you’ve improved.”

Kui Mo looked at him indifferently, and in the next second, he suddenly moved, his speed even faster than before. As he approached, Ying Qin Guan could even feel the high temperature emanating from his body... If used as an attack, it would be completely harmless. But as body temperature, it was an undeniably deadly fever.

Ying Qin Guan dodged the attack to the side. The terrifying force stirred up a gale that grazed his cheek, causing a faint pain. It was hard to imagine what the consequences would be if he were hit by this attack.

Kui continued his attacks relentlessly, unleashing several more moves, each faster than before. However, Ying Qin Guan found it easier to dodge; he had already mastered six or seven tenths of Ji Fenming's footwork. Although each use consumed a significant amount of internal energy, it was entirely worthwhile compared to being struck by Kui.

But even the most careful person can get their shoes wet, especially since Ying Qin Guan had only just grasped this footwork today. His internal energy circulation was based on guesswork and self-modification. Using it once or twice was fine, but repeated use caused a mishap. His body stiffened, and Kui's attack... arrived precisely at the right moment.

It shattered the sky, tore the earth apart, made the stars tremble, and made the sun and moon wail. A raging torrent surged forth, boiling over the entire landscape.

The weight and terror of this blow were indescribable. Even though Ying Qin Guan immediately mobilized his inner energy after his footwork went astray, hoping to block the blow, it ultimately backfired.

He was hit and sent flying backward. This time there was no room for deflection. At this point in the battle, neither of them had been able to control their strength as they had at the beginning. Kui couldn't guarantee where Ying Qin Guan would fly if he had slapped him normally. In order to prevent Ying Qin Guan from crashing into the audience, he chose the direction... upward.

Engulfed by this terrifying force, Ying Qin Guan was sent flying southwest. The world spun, and the gale tore everything apart. In the blink of an eye, he had flown over a hundred meters, forced out of the arena. At that height, even martial artists had lost their edge, unable to control the direction of their power—only mages could control themselves at that height.

Ying Qin Guan disappeared from the sight of everyone in the Grand Arena in such an exaggerated manner, flying away into the distance.

Ordinary people fear any kind of flight—and here, ordinary people refer to non-martial artists and non-magicians. Even Kui, theoretically, is considered an ordinary person because he does not possess extraordinary power.

Martial artists fear excessively high altitudes, as these positions prevent them from using their internal energy to counteract the ground and adjust their position.

Mages fear small leaps into the air; if they are high enough, it's sufficient for casting spells. But a very short distance, without touching the ground, makes them vulnerable to combos.

These three points are ironclad rules. Even Ying Qin Guan could not exert influence on the ground or adjust his position at that height. Moreover, the force of Kui's attack was still dominating him.

"He was sent flying in an instant?!"

Although there were no special effects, the visual impact was considerable, and Nephalem's lips twitched. Even though it wasn't the right time to joke, he couldn't help but blurt it out.

"Wow, even when Zhao Yunxian wrote about Ji Li and Kui fighting, it wasn't this outrageous..."

"I've felt your attitude was strange since just now..." Ji Fa frowned several times, finally unable to hold back, "He is indeed very strong, I could feel it, but why..."

Ji Fa's cold gaze swept over the Nephalem, Jiu Yi, Yu Xie Tian, ​​and even Shen Xin.

"Why do you all seem so unconcerned?"

Before anyone could answer, Ji Fa continued speaking rapidly, her words so fast that she could no longer insert punctuation marks.

"From the very beginning, when Kui inexplicably wanted to fight him, until now, including the several times I was tricked along the way, I've never been too worried. Your relationship with him should be a bit better than mine, right? But why..."

Jifa didn't say the last words, perhaps because it wasn't necessary, or perhaps for other reasons.

She didn't consider the possibility of the nameless swordsman from Southern Qin. The nameless swordsman was too mysterious; no one had ever seen him, no one knew if he was male or female, old or young. He achieved great feats after a single battle, yet no one ever saw him again. Many opportunists tried to impersonate him, but were always exposed. Over time, everyone assumed the nameless swordsman was dead.

If one is not a legendary figure, then one would generally not think of Ying Qin Guan as the nameless swordsman of Southern Qin. Currently, there are three main types of people who know Ying Qin Guan's identity. The first type is people like Nefertari Jiu Yi, who know it normally. The second type is the Shenxin Shenjiu sisters and their master, as well as the one-eyed man and the clown, who use X-ray vision to see Ying Qin Guan's identity. The third type is the legendary figures who see through Ying Qin Guan for various reasons, mainly the Sword Saint, Ji Fenming, and Kui.

Kui, needless to say, knew the truth almost immediately upon contact. Next was the Sword Saint, who gleaned some information from Ying Qin Guan's conversation with Kui, but kept it to himself, taking the secret to his grave. Finally, there was Ji Fenming, a peerless master who, with virtually no evidence and without Ying Qin Guan using a weapon, directly determined Ying Qin Guan's identity. He couldn't imagine anyone else besides Ying Qin Guan capable of such a feat.

He could immediately think of the nameless swordsman of Southern Qin because he was also a legendary figure. The nameless swordsman of Southern Qin was a distant legend to ordinary people, but not to him.

Ji Fa certainly wouldn't dare to think in the direction of the nameless swordsman from Southern Qin. After all, everyone felt that the nameless swordsman from Southern Qin had been dead for more than two years, and if grass had grown on his grave, it would be over ten feet high by now.

Of course, there are many intelligent people in the world. After this battle, many people suspected that Ying Qin Guan was the nameless swordsman of Southern Qin. But unfortunately, the false identity that Qi Yao made for Ying Qin Guan was a complete set. They could even find Ying Qin Guan's wet nurse when he was an infant, and even his childhood sweetheart in Qi Yao's false identity. Every aspect was flawless, even if these things did not exist at all. This is the power of an entire state machine in operation.

"If you ask why..." Nephalem thought for a moment, then pointed towards the direction of the Grand Arena's race track, where a person had appeared out of nowhere.

"Why don't you go and ask him yourself?"

Chapter Forty-Seven: The Curtain Falls

Ji Fa looked up and saw Ying Qin Guan. He had returned here at some point, covered in dust and blood, looking quite disheveled, yet exuding a powerful and heroic air.

He wasn't defeated by that blow that could shatter stars; he returned!

Only a very few people anticipated Ying Qin's return; most assumed he had been defeated in that terrifying attack. Therefore, when this somewhat disheveled figure reappeared in the arena, many were caught off guard and didn't immediately recognize him.

He can actually... still fight?!

Ying Qin Guan slowly walked into the Grand Arena.

He felt terrible after taking that blow; his blood and qi churned within him. Since that battle, Ying Qin Guan had never suffered such a severe injury. Kui's blow had shattered his internal energy barrier, causing far more than just enormous damage.

But to say that they can't fight... that's not quite true.

Ying Qin Guan is the most skilled in group battles and prolonged battles among peerless masters, and has the highest margin for error. Kui's attack could directly take away the Earth Mother Goddess's life, but it is not enough to render Ying Qin Guan incapable of fighting.

Ying Qin Guan slowly walked into the arena, his mind still buzzing even after so much time had passed.

This power...

Ying Qin's inner energy surged and churned, and he knew he had to use his full strength against an enemy like Kui. If he held back any longer, he might truly end up like a pig.

As his inner energy surged, Ying Qin Guan had already reached the center of the arena. He wanted to continue fighting, as the battle was far from over. However, to his surprise, Kui suddenly spoke.

"Should we continue?" Kui said in a low voice. "In my opinion, there's no need to continue."

They stood in the very center of the great arena, in front of a large audience, yet no one could hear what they were saying. The only one who might have a chance, Himura Tanzaku, was seriously injured.

To Ying Qin's surprise, just as the real battle was about to begin, Kui suddenly declared that there was no need to continue.

Ying Qin Guan's mind was foggy. He rubbed his forehead, not understanding why Kui suddenly said he was stopping. He instinctively asked, "Why do you want to end this? Do you think you've won?"

Due to his height, most of the blows from Kuina were aimed at Ying Qin Guan's head, leaving him dazed. While it didn't affect his fighting ability, his mind was indeed a bit foggy when thinking about other things.

"This battle is far from over." Although Kui had been forced into his second form by Ying Qin Guan, his mind remained clear. He calmly said, "It's just that we can't continue fighting. I barely managed to control the direction of my attack just now. But now, I can't even control these rampaging muscles... I don't know where I'll end up hitting you."

Ying Qin Guan looked up and surveyed the surroundings. The large arena, modeled after the ancient Roman Colosseum, was packed with people, numbering at least tens of thousands, perhaps even a hundred thousand.

Just as Kui said, he controlled the direction of his attack, sending Ying Qin Guan flying upwards. He did the same in his previous fight with Himura Tan's character; he intentionally controlled the direction, sending Himura Tan's character flying towards the bottom wall. But with that force and angle, if the attack had deviated even slightly by ten degrees, Himura Tan's character would have been sent flying and crashed into the audience, potentially killing someone.

If the battle escalates further, Kui's control over direction and force will become more rudimentary, with people swarming in from all directions. Unless Kui and Ying Qin Guan deliberately control it, it will inevitably affect them. But what's the point of a deliberately controlled battle? It's like making world champions play video games with only one hand; winning or losing is meaningless. They're performing at a low level and having a very unsatisfying experience.

Indeed, it's already... or perhaps, there's no need to continue fighting.

"It is indeed a problem..." Ying Qin Guan glanced around and had to admit that Kui was right. "In this kind of environment, it is really too difficult to complete the battle."

When Ying Qin Pass and the Earth Mother Goddess clashed, the battlefield stretched for miles, reaching as far as Shen Xin and the others, though it gradually receded. Kui's direct combat strength was greater than the Earth Mother Goddess's. But this time, the battlefield consisted of only a single arena... which was undoubtedly insufficient. Moreover, there were many spectators nearby. Previously, due to the martial artists' attack range, they hadn't needed to worry about being accidentally injured. But from the time of Fei Cun Tan Ying until now, many people were already concerned about being caught in the crossfire.

Kui nodded calmly and said, "So let's end it here. The price of continuing is something neither of us can afford."
