LRAB Chapter 50 Grandmaster's First Battle
Chapter 50 Grandmaster's First Battle
This palm strike, as swift as a cloud and as gentle as the wind, appeared even more delicate and weak than the hand of the young woman of the highest social standing in Kyoto.
At the same time, this palm strike was like thunder and lightning, extremely fast and firm, as if nothing in the world could stop it.
Two completely opposite attributes are perfectly and flawlessly integrated in this seemingly simple palm strike.
This is the true... Flowing Clouds Dispersing Technique!
The force that had been unleashed earlier, like a torrential downpour, was merely a small test.
If we were to describe the challenges faced by scholars, it would be much like a teacher in a private school giving questions to children who are just beginning their education.
But this palm strike at this moment is the real... imperial examination!
Faced with this formless and invisible palm strike, which seemed to vanish like the wind and clouds, Li Yuan neither dodged nor needed to dodge.
Of the original four grandmasters, Ye Liuyun had the highest control over power, which was extremely precise and could be moved at will.
Trying to outmaneuver him is simply using your weaknesses to attack his strengths.
Therefore, Li Yuan did not move, not even making the slightest move to dodge.
For him, if he wanted to use his strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses, he had to use force to overcome skill!
Just then, that warm, jade-like hand was about to press against his back.
In that split second, at the last possible moment, Li Yuan suddenly stretched out his arms, his hands drawing a circle in the air.
At the same time, he suddenly murmured, "The primordial universe was formed, heaven and earth were first separated!"
At that very moment, everything within a ten-zhang radius of him suddenly froze!
It was as if time had been paused. At this moment, within ten feet of Li Yuan, the wind stopped blowing, the water stopped flowing, and people... naturally stopped moving forward.
That warm, jade-like hand was now only a hair's breadth away from Li Yuan.
But this tiny distance, which is negligible to most people, is now like an insurmountable chasm, impossible to cross even an inch.
Behind Li Yuan, Ye Liuyun remained frozen in mid-air, still in the posture of striking out with his palm.
At that moment, his eyes didn't even have time to widen, and his expression didn't change at all.
However, his rapidly changing gaze revealed his shock and undisguised disbelief.
This is not some magical spell, nor is it a superpower whose existence is unknown.
This is just a very simple and basic thing that any martial artist in the world knows... true qi.
That's right, it's true qi!
At this moment, the area within a radius of ten zhang was completely filled with Li Yuan's true energy!
This true energy is extremely condensed, with a density so high that it is unimaginable for ordinary martial artists. It has become a tangible existence, fixing everything within a radius of ten feet!
In Ye Liuyun's eyes, Li Yuan, with one finger pointing to the sky and the other to the earth, seemed to have transformed into the towering, earth-shaking god who was creating the world at the beginning of time!
At this moment, Li Yuan did not turn around, but slowly opened his eyes.
The world within a ten-foot radius suddenly changed in the next moment!
The boundary of that domain, which existed like a solid, began to compress inward.
Ten zhang...
Nine zhang...
Eight feet...
At the same time, with Li Yuan as the central point, it seems that another layer of "boundary" has appeared.
And this boundary is expanding outwards, getting further and further away from Li Yuan!
One zhang...
Two zhang...
Three zhang...
The outer boundary slowly and continuously contracts inward, while the inner boundary slowly and continuously expands outward.
During this process, Ye Liuyun, who was suspended in mid-air, was constantly pushed away from Li Yuan, and his body kept making "creaking" and "clucking" sounds.
Li Yuan's face was expressionless, devoid of sorrow or joy, with only his inner energy constantly shifting.
For true martial artists, combat is always the best form of communication.
This kind of communication is the most sincere, surpassing a thousand words, surpassing facial expressions and gestures, and can even allow people who are not familiar with each other to quickly understand each other's inner thoughts.
For martial artists at the Grandmaster level, the choice between fighting and stopping is merely a matter of a single thought.
At this moment, Li Yuan did not stop, nor did Ye Liuyun show any intention of wanting him to stop.
It can be said that from the moment they clashed, the two understood each other's feelings.
Although they remained silent and did not explicitly state their thoughts, they fully acknowledged each other's ideas.
Of course, this was also in line with his own inner thoughts.
Ten zhang...
Eight feet...
Six zhang...
The distance between the two "boundaries," one outer and one inner, is constantly shortening.
Ye Liuyun's gaze shifted from initial shock and disbelief to appreciation and admiration, and finally to relief and...gratification.
Four zhang...
Two zhang...
The distance between the two boundaries continued to shrink, and when they completely overlapped, Ye Liuyun... disappeared.
From nothing to something, and then from something to nothing, that's what humanity is all about.
At this moment, Ye Liuyun completed this cycle of reincarnation.
Just like his name suggests, he left quietly, just as quietly as he came.
Like drifting clouds, he gently waved his sleeve, leaving not a single cloud behind.
Li Yuan dispersed the boundary of the now merged domain, watching Ye Liuyun's last traces return to the world.
Then, he sat cross-legged on the calm and clear water.
The next moment, the aura around him suddenly began to rise steadily!
When two conscious sources of radiation approach each other, nothing may happen temporarily.
But when an unconscious radiation source exists around a conscious radiation source...
Splash splash splash...
Splash splash splash...
Splash splash splash...
Centered on Li Yuan, the area within a radius of ten zhang was calm and tranquil, with no waves or disturbances, and the sea and rivers were peaceful.
Outside this area, the waves surged and the giant waves roared!
However, these tsunami-like waves did not surge onto the shore or cause any damage.
It was as if there existed an even larger domain beyond that ten-zhang radius!
After an unknown amount of time, Li Yuan's aura gradually stabilized, and the raging waves around him, which had been like a tsunami, subsided at some point.
He slowly opened his eyes, stood up on the sea, and stretched his fingers.
The next moment, streaks of water flew out from the sea and quickly "wove" a human shape in front of him.
This "water man" not only has a complete skeleton and muscles, but even his dantian meridians are no different from those of an ordinary martial artist!
"This is the Flowing Clouds Dispersing Technique..."
Feeling the significant increase in the amount of true qi within his body, and the simultaneous increase in the flexibility of that true qi, Li Yuan sighed softly.
Although Ye Liuyun is gone, his legacy has been completely preserved and transformed into the most suitable form for Li Yuan, reappearing in the world.
With a casual wave of his hand, Li Yuan caused the water figure to collapse instantly, turning back into an ordinary puddle of water that disappeared into the sea.
After glancing in the direction, he instantly took to the air and fled into the distance.
