“Boom!”
The erupting True Qi struck out in all directions, like massive, unstoppable waves, sending the likes of Ghost Shadow Elder and Li Hun, who were originally assaulting Su Changkong, reeling backwards in rapid retreat.
Even Tie Jinggang, who was gripping Su Changkong’s wrists tightly, felt an enormous force shaking him, forcing him to let go of the hands that were restraining Su Changkong, causing his fingers to throb with pain and his towering two-meter-tall frame stumbling backward!
“What… what is this?”
As Su Changkong channeled the rich and erupting Turtle Breathing True Qi, it forcibly knocked back three high-level experts, staggering them. The twenty or so Martial Arts experts on the scene who had achieved the Qi-Blood Realm, including the several hundreds of elite Sea Pirates gathered and crowding around the square, all watched the tall silhouette at the center with stunned expressions.
The profound blue True Qi almost condensed into a solid form, covering Su Changkong’s entire body, three inches thick, with undulating light, just like the tranquil surface of the ocean, deep and vast, as if no attack could shake it!
“Is this… True Qi? True Qi that is powerful to this extent?”
“Just how did this Sikong Yong cultivate? How did he achieve such depth of Inner Strength at his age?”
Experts such as Tie Jinggang and Ghost Shadow Elder all widened their eyes in disbelief, looking at Su Changkong, who seemed like a deity clad in Qi-formed armor.
In a Martial Artist’s combat power, it’s important to look at two aspects: one naturally is the Martial Arts Realm, including realms such as Body Refinement and Qi-Blood.
Whether it is the Body Refinement Realm or the Qi-Blood Realm, both involve cultivating the physical body to undergo metamorphosis and evolution! This way, the body can bear greater strength, which is fundamental for a Martial Artist!
The second aspect is Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts Skills.
And whether it’s Inner Strength, Blade Technique, Swordsmanship or other Martial Skills and Techniques, they all enhance combat power, tap into potential, and allow an individual to exert all their strength, even power beyond their limits!
One is like a water tank, and the other is like the water in the tank.
Only if the tank is large and strong enough, can it hold more water!
Usually, upon stepping into the Qi-Blood Realm, most Martial Artists practice Inner Strength. The True Qi developed initially might not be stronger than the force of punches and kicks, but it can enhance bodily functions to a certain extent and can be channeled into swords and sabers to unleash deadlier strikes.
The cultivation of Martial Skills and Techniques not only requires resources and accumulation but also relies on talent! If you can’t reach that level, then you simply can’t!
Unlike Body Refinement or Blood Refining, where with ample resources, even someone with mediocre talent can stack up resources and attempt to break through multiple times if they fail once, twice, or thrice – eventually, they will improve. However, the resources needed are immense, and even the powerful and affluent clans can hardly bear such costs.
The Ghost Shadow Elder was nearly a hundred years old. He too cultivated Inner Strength to delay aging, and his level was not low, but even he hadn’t reached the limit that his body could contain.
However, Sikong Yong standing before them had Inner Strength so profound, and True Qi so powerful, that he had almost reached the limit of what his body could withstand.
It was as if one person had a large tank—The Ghost Shadow Elder only filled a small portion of it with water, but Su Changkong had filled his tank to the brim, reaching the limit!
Of course, the foundation lies in the Martial Arts Realm. With a high-enough Martial Arts Realm, the sheer strength of one’s physique can overpower others; a casual punch could be unbearable for an ordinary person.
An athlete, or even a boxer, has their physical condition as their base. Without a strong enough body, all the skillful techniques and theories are just empty show!
The Cultivation Realm of Martial Arts, which includes Body Refinement and Blood Refining, is the foundation of a Martial Artist and determines the lower limit of strength, ensuring that even the weakest are not too weak, while Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts Skills are the upper limit! That’s why, even among those of the same realm, the disparity in combat prowess can be vast!
Merely possessing the Qi-Blood Realm, with great strength and speed, but lacking any knowledge of Cultivation Techniques, Martial Arts Skills, and practical combat skills, is akin to a brute with strength but without the knowledge to fully harness it.
And Sikong Yong before them had raised that upper limit to an extent unreachable for others within the same realm!
The Turtle Breathing True Qi within Su Changkong had become so rich and dense that it enveloped his entire body, forming an armor that was vast and profound.
“Gang Leader… after years of seclusion, is this his progress?” Hall Master Gao An from Electric Whale Hall watched the seemingly invincible man with a dry mouth and racing heart.
“The Gang Leader is only around forty, right? In the prime of his life, yet he cultivated Inner Strength to such an extent?” Red-haired Zhao Tianhuo also had eyes filled with excitement and shock; indeed, their Giant Whale Gang’s leader was one of the rare Martial Arts geniuses in Ink Forest Prefecture City, a legendary figure in peoples’ eyes!
For many years, Su Changkong had been cultivating the Turtle Breath Technique. His astonishing talent and potential, coupled with the consumption of a large number of Qi Increasing Pills, plus the Turtle-breath Function’s special characteristic of training in water, had used the external pressure of an undersea whirlpool some time ago to hone his Turtle Breathing True Qi, finally pushing the Turtle Breath Technique to the 9th realm, “Unparalleled in the World”!
For the average person practicing the Turtle Breath Technique, even if they began from birth, it might take them a hundred years to reach this level!
“Weren’t you going to release me only after I was dead?” Su Changkong moved his body, with Turtle Breathing True Qi forming Qi Armor around him, undulating with light. He stared at Tie Jinggang, whose fingers were trembling and aching, and flashed a grin.
Tie Jinggang’s cheeks twitched at the comment. He specialized in Horizontal Training Hard Skill, and no one he had ever restrained could break free. Seeing Sikong Yong casually free himself and feeling the suffocating pressure, his own breathing became labored.
“Bang!”
At that moment, from a watchtower 500 meters away, the sound of a large mechanism erupted. Propelled by the Divine Arm Crossbow, a massive arrow as thick as an arm shot out at speeds surpassing the sound barrier, aimed straight for Su Changkong, who stood in the center of the square.
