Chapter 175 Fighting

"Still slow, too slow!"

Xiangliu was fighting with great abandon, but he didn't notice that Jiang Chen, who had originally been almost unable to parry, was gradually becoming more agile under his punches and kicks.

He could barely block every move, only occasionally missing one or two.

However, these few missed blocks, without exception, all landed on Jiang Chen's face and forehead.

The punch force, mixed with demonic power, made Jiang Chen wince in pain, and it wouldn't heal.

But Jiang Chen didn't care too much. In the past, when he fought others, it was either Divine Ability against Divine Ability, or a crushing victory; he had never truly felt his own level of Combat Mastery firsthand.

Although his Combat Mastery Realm had upgraded to level four, it had always improved along with his general Realm.

He had never truly experienced the level of his own combat skills.

After engaging with Xiangliu, Jiang Chen was initially quite rusty and flustered, but after this, he gradually became skilled through practice, becoming much more proficient in close-quarters Combat Techniques than at the beginning.

Furthermore, as the battle continued, although Jiang Chen's Combat Mastery Realm did not improve, and his experience didn't increase much,

he could feel his level of combat skill rising with a qualitative change.

It was like before and after; the mass was the same, but before, it was like a sponge, soft at the slightest touch.

But now it had been compacted; although there were still deficiencies, it was far stronger than before.

Moreover, the two fighting like this, relying purely on Physical Body combat without blasting each other with Divine Abilities, allowed Jiang Chen to further his mastery over his own Physical Body!

As he mastered his original Combat Mastery Realm to a certain degree, his combat experience also began to increase layer by layer.

【Skill: Combat Mastery (Level 4)】

【Experience required to upgrade Combat Mastery: 13145 / 100000】

...

【Experience required to upgrade Combat Mastery: 14632 / 100000】

...

【Experience required to upgrade Combat Mastery: 19260 / 100000】

The two fought, oblivious to the passage of day and night.

Although their figures fighting in the sky were extremely clear, they fell into the eyes of some interested parties.

Especially several major nations, which had already begun to speculate on the origins of the practitioners fighting over the island nation, combining this with the Advanced practitioners who had appeared in the island nation last time, and had already begun questioning the island nation's high-level officials.

The high-level officials of the island nation truly did not know who the two fighting above their island were.

But this did not prevent them from putting on a show.

The current Prime Minister of the island nation, Shi Pimao, made a public statement.

"Regarding the two Yin and Yang masters fighting over the island nation, our island nation takes full responsibility for them!"

As for those Yin and Yang masters who knew the truth or had guessed the situation, they did not care about politics and therefore did not know about this statement made by Shi Pimao.

The intensity of their battle was so great that the wind from their punches could almost be carried by the gale winds from the sky, blowing out to the Pacific Ocean and whipping up waves.

As time passed, the two had been fighting for nearly four or five hours, but there was still no sign of stopping; instead, it became more and more intense.

Finally, when the moon was high in the sky, Xiangliu was finally satisfied, looking at Jiang Chen, whose clothes were tattered and messy, and whose face was swollen like a pig's head.

At this moment, it seemed as if his resentment of over a thousand years had been vented a little; he had truly enjoyed himself today.

"Worthy brother, let's stop here for today. I will instruct you in Combat Technique again tomorrow."

A slightly dazed Jiang Chen woke up from his frenzied combat state, and as soon as he woke up, he felt throbbing pain on his face and body.

This convenient older brother seemed to be a bit heavy-handed, didn't he?

He used True Qi to soothe the swelling on his face, only to find that there was demonic power inside faintly resisting it, which he couldn't dissipate for a while.

"Alright, worthy brother, go down and tend to your injuries quickly. Your combat skills still have many deficiencies. I will thoroughly instruct you again tomorrow."

When mentioning instruction, Jiang Chen always felt there was more to his words.

"Very well, then many thanks to you, elder brother. As for the matter of Jianzhen's remains..."

"What's the rush? He won't die anytime soon. The most urgent task is to first clean up... *cough cough*, first instructing worthy brother is most important~" Xiangliu said earnestly.

Jiang Chen nodded. Although his Physical Body had suffered a bit, his strength had improved in reality. He felt that doing this a few more times wouldn't be a loss.

The two flew down from the sky all the way.

Jia He was still watching over Jianzhen's golden body at this moment. Calling it watching was actually just staring at it from where he stood; he really didn't dare to touch it.

Suddenly, a flash of red light appeared before his eyes, and Jiang Chen's figure appeared in front of him.

"Ancestral Master?! You're back! This on your body..." Jia He looked at the swelling on Jiang Chen's face with some hesitation.

At this moment, he had changed into a clean set of clothes, and had also used True Qi to repair his face several times, but there were still some bruises containing demonic power that were difficult to remove.

Jiang Chen remained calm: "I met an older brother and exchanged a few moves with him earlier; we each had our wins and losses."

"Oh, oh, I see!" Jia He was shocked. Someone whom even the Ancestral Master called an older brother must be an old monster who had lived for thousands of years in ancient times!

Although the Ancestral Master spoke lightly, low-key and unostentatiously, surely the Ancestral Master must have had the upper hand!

"Let's go, let's head back first."

"Ancestral Master, are we done with our business? The bureau called again, asking when we are going back."

"Tell them to wait."

...

In the following days, Jiang Chen flew up into the firmament every day to fight with Xiangliu.

Every day he also returned with a face full of bruises.

Jia He also went from initially being confident that the Ancestral Master was invincible, to gradually becoming doubtful later on.

But Jiang Chen completely ignored external matters and enjoyed it. In these few days, he had thoroughly experienced the mysteries of the human body's Treasure Trove.

After his combat skills were developed, it seemed that even some of the potential hidden within his body had been unearthed.

In these few days, Jiang Chen actually had a Breakthrough to the third layer of the Life Wheel Realm!

You have to know, having a Breakthrough in reality, this was the first time ever.

Although the Heaven And Earth Spiritual Essence was slowly recovering, it was still far from the concentration of the peak Tang Dynasty.

Besides this, Jiang Chen's level of combat skill was also steadily improving.

【Skill: Combat Mastery (Level 4)】

【Experience required to upgrade Combat Mastery: 64268 / 100000】

At the same time, Jiang Chen discovered that his own swordsmanship and saber techniques were also slowly improving, although the rate of improvement was not as fast as that of his Combat Technique.

He was thoughtful; all techniques lead to the same destination. Whether it was basic swordsmanship or saber techniques, in the end, it was a battle of physical techniques, a measure of the practitioner's control over their own Physical Body.

If one's control over their Physical Body is high, no matter what weapon or martial arts they use, they will not be weak.

And this idea was confirmed by him a few days later!

But in contrast to this was Xiangliu.

These past few days, the more he fought, the more he felt something was wrong. Why didn't he have the excited and thrilled feeling from the beginning?

Perhaps it was because, for some reason, the more he beat Jiang Chen, the more excited he saw Jiang Chen's face becoming.

Smiles do not disappear; they only transfer from one person's face to another's.

Seeing Jiang Chen so happy even while being beaten, Xiangliu was suddenly unhappy.

...

(Good night)
