Soon, someone noticed something unusual.
"Look, that guy is not dead!"
"What?!"
“…”
Just when everyone thought the war was over, the figure in white stood up from the ruins.
Ryan dusted off his body, and the purple thunder fighting spirit once again surrounded his entire body.
Even if the protective fighting spirit is broken, the physical body of the "Divine Strength Realm" cannot be seriously damaged so easily.
As for those injuries, with a touch of [Divine Healing Technique], they were restored to their original state in an instant.
However, he had to admit that Wum, who had advanced to the fourth level of transcendence, was indeed a strong opponent.
…
After being hit by more than a hundred punches and being defeated in a round, Ryan's most obvious gap was in the solidity of his fighting spirit.
Low-level extraordinary fighting spirit is like loose sand, third-level extraordinary fighting spirit is like sand gathered into a tower, but fourth-level extraordinary fighting spirit is like sand mixed with cement, which will naturally collapse at the first touch under hard collision.
The gap between the extraordinary ranks is not so easy to overcome.
If it was an assassin's sneak attack, it would be fine, but in a head-on confrontation, the difference in rank would be an absolute disadvantage.
Moreover, that guy's "fist spirit" finally made Ryan experience firsthand what "martial arts with soul" is.
The meaning is profound, and no one can accurately describe what "artistic conception" is, because everyone perceives "meaning" differently.
It is a kind of spiritual control over power, not only limited by fighting spirit and strength, but also the moves are controlled in a single thought.
As soon as the thought comes, the fists and feet are already there.
From a physical perspective, the boxing moves are very "smooth".
Compared with his, Ryan's own punches and kicks were like a puppet, stiff, slow, and mechanical.
Although this gap does not seem to be very big, perhaps only a few tenths of a second, but in the eyes of high-level extraordinary people, it is enough to determine the winner.
Of course, this is only a physical difference.
From the perspective of "perception", when Naum punches, he gives people a sense of dominance like a lion pouncing on a rabbit.
This is the "fist of destruction".
Basel once told Ryan that only those extraordinary people who are immersed in their own "artistic conception" can experience the feeling of spiritual sublimation, which will increase their combat power and overwhelm their opponents in momentum.
Ryan once didn't understand the meaning of those words.
It is better to experience it once in practice than to hear it a hundred times.
As soon as they touched each other just now, Ryan felt a vague understanding.
It can't be explained clearly.
…
"You were hit by a hundred of my punches and you were still able to stand up?"
Wum frowned and looked at Ryan who was safe and sound, with suspicion on her face.
When I saw the light golden layer on his body, I vaguely understood something.
Ryan grinned, with some scarlet blood between his teeth, looking a little ferocious: "Tsk tsk, if that's all you are..."
He shook his head and chuckled, "I'm afraid you will die in my hands today."
"Just you?"
Wumu snorted coldly, his eyes full of gloom: "I want to see how many punches you can take from me!"
The last time in the desert ruins, Ryan's humiliating middle finger was still fresh in his memory. It made him realize that among the fighters of the same level, there were "geniuses" who were more dazzling than himself.
But the humiliation and pressure not only did not become an obstacle to his practice, but instead became an opportunity for advancement, allowing him to enter the fourth level of transcendence in one fell swoop.
However, only by killing this guy can the idea come true.
Before he finished speaking, Wum's eyes flashed with coldness, and his figure rushed towards Ryan again like a cannonball.
…
Both of them are fighters who are good at close combat. They don't waste time at all and use fierce moves with fists and feet.
Bang! Bang! Bang…
It was like two cannonballs colliding, with a huge noise.
Every time the two people collide, visible air waves will explode with the point of contact as the center.
The strong winds caused sand and rocks to fly everywhere, as if a storm was coming, and the chairs in the banquet hall were creaking and moving around.
As soon as they touched each other, everyone could see that Umu, who had the fire fighting spirit, was obviously much stronger than Ryan, who had the purple thunder fighting spirit.
With every collision, the figure in white could be seen stumbling, spitting blood and retreating.
The two men have similar strength, but there is a huge gap between them in speed, martial arts, and nerve reaction that is visible to the naked eye.
Especially when it comes to the "fist intention" and "solidity of fighting spirit" at the extraordinary level, there is a fundamental difference between them.
The two of them are both fighters, so there is no such thing as professional restraint. Whoever has better martial arts skills will win...
Logically speaking, this battle should have ended in a one-sided outcome.
The fourth-level extraordinary Wumu should have won a great victory...
But the white figure stood up again and again, and fought more and more bravely.
…
Gradually, this scene also made the bystanders see the clues.
"Why does it seem like Ryan is invincible? Isn't he too durable?"
"More than just being able to withstand beatings! Even if he was a fourth-level transcendent with a special ability of toughness, his lungs would have been shattered after being hit by those attacks from Wumu. But this guy can still act like nothing happened. Is he a normal person?"
"That's weird. Even if a fighter is tough, he shouldn't be this strong..."
"You haven't realized that although Ryan was beaten to the point of vomiting blood, he recovered in the blink of an eye. This is the real horror! Even if he carries a high-level priest with him, it is impossible to heal so quickly!"
“Hiss~ Why doesn’t this ‘Lord of Black Dragon City’ look like a common fighter sequence extraordinary? Otherwise, how could he be invincible and have that inhuman ‘strange strength’…”
“…”
The bigger and more intense the battles.
At first, those people overwhelmingly believed that Wum could kill Ryan quickly, but they didn't expect that the battle between the two guys, who were so far apart in realm, would end up in a stalemate.
Now no one can understand it.
It's fine that Wumu possesses the barbarian's divine totem and has infinite strength, but can a random third-level extraordinary person be as strong as Wumu?
Will you use poison?
Apart from the fact that his fighting moves are the "Fighter Sequence", how can this guy named Ryan be a fighter in the normal sense?
Can heal, can poison, can have super strength...
What kind of extraordinary sequence is this?
After watching for a while, the onlookers also realized that there might be something strange about Ryan's extraordinary inheritance.
It was a good thing that he met Um, who was also a fighter, otherwise if it were any other fourth-level transcendent who was not very resistant to beatings, he would have been beaten to death with just a few punches, right?
On the other hand.
In the huge banquet hall, the only person whose expression had not changed was Canossa, who was still sitting at the bar drinking.
She looked at Ryan who was fighting enthusiastically, her eyes full of surprise: "Huh... I haven't seen him for two months, and this guy has made great progress."
Only she understood what Ryan was doing. She shook her red wine glass and said to herself, "Tsk, tsk, he found a good opponent."
…
[Ding! Collecting data, capturing martial arts skills...]
[Ding! Start analysis simulation, mark unknown energy source, name it 'Fist Intention'...]
[Ding! The virtual character is being created, the progress is 43%... 43.7%...]
[Ding! Start...]
That's right.
Ryan and Wum fought hard and got beaten, but it wasn't because he had a masochistic tendency.
But it is a rare opportunity to meet such a good opponent. He is honing his martial arts and collecting data.
Killing has never been the goal.
If Ryan simply wanted to kill Wum, there would be no need to go through so much trouble.
Even without Canossa taking action, he could just electrocute this guy to death by summoning "Pika".
However, this would waste the value of this "high-quality opponent".
Ryan knew that although he had now entered the realm of high-level transcendence, the drawbacks of his martial arts that had been completely dependent on system copying in the early stages were gradually showing up.
When facing high-level extraordinary people, that kind of mechanical martial arts is at a great disadvantage and it is very easy for people to find flaws.
The reason why he was beaten so badly now was because of his insufficient foundation.
Wum, a fighting genius who had been training in martial arts since childhood, could easily find his flaws.
Just like now.
Therefore, Ryan knew that he needed an opponent to hone his martial arts skills.
A real opponent.
Whether it is the "fist spirit" that needs to be comprehended in the future to advance to the extraordinary world, or the improvement of fighting skills, the best way is actual combat.
The fighting process is like looking into a mirror. You can see your own shortcomings and the opponent's worries from the opponent's response.
However, the choice of opponents in actual combat is also very important.
Not too strong, not too weak...
It’s better to have death pressure…
It would be best if the opponent is of the same fighter rank...
Ryan's current situation is very special.
Finding the right opponent is almost impossible.
Just because of his "super strength" attribute, among the third-level extraordinary people, almost no one can make him fight with all his strength. If the enemy is a low-level extraordinary person, the combat experience he can gain is very little, and the feedback, comprehension, and integration of martial arts are also minimal;
As for stronger enemies, such as veteran fourth-tier fighters, the gap is too big, and the possibility of "getting beaten" unilaterally is high, and the improvement effect cannot be achieved;
And Um Lopez, who had just been promoted to the fourth level, was the best "sharpening stone".
The realm gap was not too big, which allowed Ryan to more accurately understand the pressure of the rank when he first entered the world of transcendence, as well as what his "fist intention" that had not yet stabilized was...
And, most importantly, there were death threats, but they couldn't kill each other.
Wum cannot kill Ryan, and Ryan cannot kill Wum in a short period of time (he can only consume blood).
This is a life-and-death feud, so Wum will definitely not hold back.
If he wants to kill Ryan, he will definitely use all his means, including all his secrets, trump cards, and tricks...
This is the best opponent.
…
Then, the system does the rest.
Ryan didn't think he had a high level of comprehension, nor did he think he had a strong learning ability, but... the system could copy.
If you can’t learn it once, try a hundred times.
For others, a good opponent is hard to come by. Once you kill him, it will be difficult to meet him again.
But for Ryan, who possesses an "intelligent brain", as long as the system captures enough data, he can completely copy the opponent in his dreams and practice with him day and night.
Therefore, Ryan was also "collecting data" by taking this beating.
The longer you play, the more complete the data will be.
When the system has completely recorded Wum's data, he will have an opponent in his dreams who he can always practice with!
Twenty times the training time in the dream, the most suitable opponent, a reckless fight to the death...
In that way, his own fighting skills would increase dramatically in a short period of time.
This is the greatest value of Wum in Ryan's eyes.
Instead of simply killing him!
…
From the very beginning, when Wum was unable to kill Ryan instantly, the outcome of the battle was actually doomed.
After Ryan entered the "Divine Strength Realm", he also had a glimpse of the "Bronze Skin and Golden Body", and his body defense went up a big step.
Wum's attack was indeed very strong. A normal level 3 monster would probably be killed with just a few punches.
But for Ryan, as long as the injury is not fatal, it is not a problem.
The internal organs were shattered, and the wires were used to suture them...
The muscles are broken, and the threads are sutured...
Blood vessels burst, sutured with sutures...
For area injuries, [Divine Healing] can directly provide coverage treatment.
So in the end, it actually became a battle of wits between the two of them.
Because of the Dou Qi bonus from the "Qigong Master Lineage" and the "mature blood nematodes", Ryan now possesses about five times the Dou Qi of people at the same level, which is almost the same as Wum who has just entered the fourth level.
However, there is a difference in the efficiency of recovering fighting spirit between the two.
[Divine Power Totem] focuses on increasing strength and perception, although it also has some fighting spirit recovery. However, compared with elemental totems such as [Thunder Totem], the fighting spirit recovery efficiency of the two is far behind.
Moreover, according to the data analysis of the intelligent brain system, there is another conclusion.
Assuming that a fighter needs to consume 100 points of fighting spirit to cause 100 points of damage, then using [Divine Healing Technique] to heal these 100 points of injury will only consume 50 points of fighting spirit at most.
Therefore, we can conclude that a combat nurse is definitely stronger in a protracted war than any pure burst extraordinary profession!
In other words, the fighting spirit consumed by Wum when punching Ryan was much less than the amount consumed by Ryan when healing himself.
One consumes a lot and recovers slowly;
One consumes less and recovers quickly;
The difference in fighting spirit will become more and more obvious as time goes by.
And there is another key point.
Ryan's injuries can heal on their own, but the enemy's injuries are piling up...
…
The one who felt it most clearly was Um, who was fighting with Ryan.
If the first round of explosions didn't kill the opponent, it could be said to be a coincidence, but the second, third, and fourth times...
After countless times, Wum finally discovered it and faced the reality.
That is, he simply couldn't kill the guy in front of him who could heal infinitely.
But the enemy is not made of wood. If you cannot kill him, he will fight back and kill you, leaving you no chance at all.
The longer the battle drags on, the more desperate it becomes.
Wum used all kinds of methods and tricks, but failed to kill Ryan...
On the contrary, as time goes by, the balance of battle is shifting towards the enemy.
He was well aware that his fighting spirit had been depleted and had reached a very dangerous level.
Gradually, he went from beating people one-sidedly to a stalemate, and now, he is being chased and beaten...
This made this fighter, who had been hailed as a "genius" since childhood, very frustrated.
I clearly possess the best inheritance, the best talent, and the best plug-in (totem), but why can't I win?
Although he didn't understand why the enemy was so strong, the fact was that if he continued like this, he would die.
…
“Bang!”
Soon, under everyone's stunned gaze.
For the first time, Ryan kicked Wumu away and smashed him into the ruins of the stage...
This attack naturally cannot kill a fourth-level strongman.
But when Wum stood up, there was scarlet blood on his forehead, and he no longer had the arrogance he had before.
There was only embarrassment, ferocity, hatred, and hysterical unwillingness in his eyes.
Although Ryan's fighting spirit was greatly depleted by this point in the battle, and he was breathing heavily, he did not give the enemy any chance to breathe. He moved again and kicked him again...
The system's data collection is almost complete, and he is now going to kill this guy.
At this moment, Wum could only defend passively. His depleted sea of ​​energy made it almost impossible for him to launch any explosive counterattack.
Of course, fighting back was useless.
He had despairingly discovered that he had no chance of killing that guy.
He was knocked away again and fell to the ground...
The third time, the fourth time...
The figure who stood up again and again, his injuries became more and more serious, and he became more and more embarrassed...
Obviously, if nothing unexpected happened, this fighting genius who was said to be the only one in a century in Oma would die under Ryan's fists and feet.
…
The nobles and knights who were watching were completely dumbfounded.
A quarter of an hour ago, no one expected this outcome.
Now looking at the figure in white, they all felt a fear from the depths of their souls.
This "Lord of Black Dragon City" used the most intuitive way to let people witness his monstrous fighting power.
The third level killed the fourth level, and the fourth level who was to be killed was a famous fighting genius.
Even a wandering poet couldn't make up such a bizarre story.
But it happened right before our eyes.
At this moment, Ryan's fists were covered in blood.
No, not only his hands, his white dress was also stained with blood...
In the eyes of those noble ladies, the handsome and elegant man was still calm and composed, but his aura was completely different. He changed from a handsome young man to a murderous "bloody devil".
Canossa shook the wine glass in his hand, and the amber wine was almost empty.
The back of the resolute man in the distance was reflected in her eyes. A gentle smile hung on the corners of her mouth, and she whispered: "This guy's progress is really a big surprise."
In this battle, Canossa witnessed Ryan's full combat power for the first time.
And, this is only now.
She also knew Ryan's trump card very well. In the future, this man will become even stronger!
There were ripples in Canossa's beautiful eyes as she looked at the man, the charm in her eyes became more and more alluring.
But at this moment, she suddenly raised her eyebrows, as if she had discovered something, and murmured: "Why don't you just watch the show? Why are you in such a hurry to leave..."
Before she finished speaking, she climbed up the stilts, and the graceful figure disintegrated like a reflection in the water. The wine glass in her hand also fell freely to the ground...
There was a crisp sound of "clang".
The nobles hiding behind the wine table heard the sound of the glass breaking to the ground.
But almost before that, they heard another rapid sound of breaking wind.
“Swoosh~”
Instinctively looking into the distance, a few hundred meters away, Canossa, wearing a black dress, teleported into the field in an extremely domineering manner.
She grabbed with one hand as fast as lightning, and a translucent figure suddenly condensed in the void.
There were no fancy moves, she just simply and roughly pressed the transparent guy's head and slammed it to the ground.
At this moment, the flow of time seemed to slow down.
Everyone around felt that Canossa's movements were being played ten times slower than before, and then at a certain critical point, they were suddenly played a hundred times faster than before!
The two people in the scene instantly turned into a blurry, falling shadow.
This seemingly light push was like a falling star, suppressing the air in that area to the extreme, squeezing out a sharp, ear-piercing sound of an explosion...
The next moment,
"boom!"
It was like an invisible force hitting a large area of ​​the ground.
The noise was like an earthquake, and the entire banquet hall shook violently.
Under the horrified gaze of the crowd, the ground in the distance suddenly cracked and exploded into a terrifying deep pit with a diameter of tens of meters!
The people on the higher ground could clearly see that at the bottom of the pit, a guy dressed as an assassin was covered in blood...
The expressionless woman in the black dress next to her showed for the first time in front of the world her terrifying fighting power, which was like a human-shaped dragon!
