85: Physical liberation! The art of body and fist!

"Five Elements Body Cultivation Art? Even a remnant volume is a notch stronger than an Earth Rank Middle Grade Body Refining Cultivation Technique?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yang became interested. Although Zhang Yang's current physical strength was superior to any Martial Artist of the same level,

the Body Scripture section of his Martial Scripture was only equivalent to an ordinary Earth Rank Middle Grade technique in terms of Body Refining.

If not for the physical tempering effect brought by the dao rhyme golden core, his physical strength would not be as strong as it was now.

After all, the highest-grade Body Refining Cultivation Technique in Zhang Yang's Body Scripture was the Taiyin Form Refining Art. Although it was Earth Rank Middle Grade, it did not focus on physical strength.

"Fine! I agree!" Zhang Yang nodded. Although this Five Elements Body Cultivation Art was a remnant, if it was just for a spar, it was acceptable.

Zhang Yang could see that the physical strength of Mu Xu before him was very high, feeling a notch stronger than his current self.

"Good! Straightforward!" Mu Xu laughed loudly and tossed the Five Elements Body Cultivation Art to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang caught it and placed it into his Storage Ring.

"This place is too small; it's not suitable for a fight. It wouldn't be good if we broke Old Ghost Ye's things! Let's take the battle to the sky!" Mu Xu looked around and suggested.

"Fine!" Zhang Yang nodded, and then his body soared into the sky.

Mu Xu stomped one foot, and his body also shot into the sky, following Zhang Yang.

The two stood atop the clouds, momentarily making no move. However, the resonance of their Auras tore through the surrounding cloud banks, allowing the morning sunlight to pass through the gaps and form beautiful beams of light.

Boom!

In an instant, the two moved. Just the wind generated by their immense speed blew the surrounding clouds in all directions!

Bang!

The two traded a punch. As their fists met, an invisible shockwave spread out, blowing the scattered clouds hundreds of meters away!

"Satisfying! Your physical strength is the strongest I've ever seen!"

After one punch, Mu Xu retreated several steps, his expression excited, his muscles trembling all over.

In all these years, this was the first time he had met someone like Zhang Yang who could rival him in pure physical strength!

Zhang Yang smiled slightly and flexed his right hand. This Mu Xu was indeed a famous Ying Bian Realm Ninth Layer Martial Artist in the Southern Region; his physical strength was no joke.

"Next! I'm going to get serious!"

Mu Xu shouted in a low voice. Then, his body began to liberate. His entire person grew to over three meters tall, and his streamlined muscles contained explosive power!

This was his second form, completely liberating his originally hidden muscles to unleash 150% of his physical power, enough to completely tear an enemy apart!

After liberating his body, the Aura Mu Xu emitted became even more terrifying. Any normal person, with just one look, could see the world-shaking power contained within that three-meter-tall body!

"Come!"

Seeing this form, Zhang Yang also became interested. He circulated his Body Scripture, mobilizing all his strength!

Bang!

In a flash, Mu Xu tore through the air, exceeding the speed of sound by countless times. He appeared before Zhang Yang instantly, his fist—as large as a casserole—smashing toward Zhang Yang's abdomen.

As the punch was thrown, the heavens and earth changed color, and a piercing sonic boom resounded through the world!

The violent wind from the punch blew away countless clouds behind Zhang Yang!

"So strong!" Zhang Yang couldn't help but marvel inwardly as he watched the approaching fist.

The pressure Mu Xu brought through pure physical power alone was even greater than that of his Senior Brother, Ling Yue.

If it were a head-on clash of pure physical strength, Zhang Yang might not necessarily be able to defeat him right now!

However!

The corner of Zhang Yang's mouth curled into an arc. Within the Martial Scripture, the Fist Scripture circulated. Various close-combat Profound Truths merged into his sea of mind; the heart moved the intent, and the fist followed the heart.

His entire body became a single cohesive unit, striking Mu Xu's fist with even greater speed.

Bang! Bang bang bang!

In an instant, Mu Xu and Zhang Yang exchanged hundreds, thousands of punches!

Mu Xu's extreme physical outburst and boundless physical power brought about extreme destruction. If an ordinary Ying Bian Realm Ninth Layer Martial Artist faced these destructive punches, they would be heavily injured after just a few hits.

But with Zhang Yang's Fist Scripture circulating, the Profound Truths of countless close-combat Martial Skills flowed. With physical strength that was a notch weaker, he neutralized Mu Xu's explosive power one by one.

This battle lasted until noon!

By this time, Mu Xu's entire body was red, and heat radiated from him—a sign that his body was reaching its limit!

On the other side, although Zhang Yang was slightly out of breath, his expression remained unchanged. The various Profound Truths within the Fist Scripture had merged even more thoroughly!

"I'm done! I'm done!"

Mu Xu shouted, retreating hundreds of meters. Then, his three-meter-tall frame began to slowly shrink, returning to its original height of nearly two meters.

"Impressive! Although my control drops slightly after completely liberating my body, and some openings appear in my moves..."

"...it should be impossible for an ordinary Martial Artist of the same level to seize those openings!"

"Yet this Zhang Yang could actually discover those openings within milliseconds and successfully neutralize them."

Mu Xu had to admit that Zhang Yang's attainment in close-combat Martial Skills was even more formidable than his own combat memories from several hundred years!

Mu Xu's expression was somewhat excited. After this battle with Zhang Yang, he had gained more insights. He now had a clear direction for developing the perfect third form he envisioned!

In Mu Xu's vision, his third form should be the perfect combination of power and technique, unleashing a power far exceeding the sum of its parts.

On the other side, Zhang Yang calmed his breathing, the corners of his mouth turning up slightly. His gains from this spar were also very significant.

Although he had forged the Fist Scripture, it didn't mean the Fist Scripture was perfect; it would continue to evolve.

And fighting others was the best nourishment for evolution. In those lightning-fast moments, countless Profound Truths flowed and merged in Zhang Yang's heart, making the Fist Scripture even more suitable for him!

"Your physical strength is very impressive!" Zhang Yang also voiced his praise. As of now, Mu Xu possessed the second strongest physique he had ever seen.

The two returned to the Ye Family's martial arts arena.

The scorching sun shone down, and the sky above the Ye Family was cloudless for ten thousand miles.

After returning to the arena, Zhang Yang took out the Five Elements Body Cultivation Art and began to read it.

The Five Elements Body Cultivation Art used the five most extreme types of Heaven and Earth Five Elements Origin Qi to temper the body. When the Five Elements converged and melted into one, it was enough to split the heavens!

Zhang Yang frowned as he read the introduction of the Five Elements Body Cultivation Art. For a Martial Artist, Origin Qi was simply Origin Qi.

While the distinction of the Five Elements existed, it was generally not emphasized.

This Five Elements Body Cultivation Art actually specialized in using the five most extreme types of Five Elements Origin Qi to temper the body, reaching a level of physical strength far beyond Martial Artists of the same level!

As for the later part about the 'Five Elements as One' being enough to split the heavens, there was no introduction in this remnant volume.

After finishing the remnant volume, Zhang Yang shook his head slightly. This Five Elements Body Cultivation Art only contained the Fire Tempering portion.

The main cultivation involved seeking unique flames in the world to roast the entire body from the inside out, tempering the Physical Body. The stronger the flames, the more powerful the tempered Physical Body would become!
