Chapter 265: Special stage! (5)

"Kuh!" Wang Dong gritted his teeth when he saw Lu Bu's transformation.

His Indomitable Gold Body could be said to possess the indestructible might of a mountain. However, this was but an analogy, no matter how gigantic a mountain were, if it were to be rammed continuously, they will still shatter into pieces!

Right now, he could feel the strength oozing out of Lu Bu's body that were glowing hot red like lava, and it seemed like that internal reinforcement technique was much more superior than his!

"Come." Lu Bu beckoned with his hand as his entire figure was reminiscent to that of an Asura.

Sha!! Pa! Su! Suu!!

Wang Dong dashed forward and let out a series of punches, slaps and kicks like before, but this time, his speed was several times more faster than before. However, to his surprise, other than dodging some direct hit to the face, Lu Bu practically ignored all of his punches that connected onto his body!

"Urgh! His body is rock solid!" Wang Dong grimaced in pain as he felt the numbness on his fist starting to hurt a little. Then, he saw the other party making a counter, thus he crossed both of his arms together in an attempt to block it, and he did it successfully.

However..

BAMM!!

Puhe!!

Wang Dong was sent flying and nearly fell off from the edge of the ring as he coughed out blood twice.

"To think that.. my Indestructible Gold Body would be smashed in one hit.. even after cleanly blocking it at that.. dammit.." he punched the ground in frustration.

"Hmph." Lu Bu snorted as he turned and focused his sight onto Duan Li, only to see that the other party was doing pushups on the ground!

"..." his brows and mouth twitched uncontrollably.

"What.. are you doing?" he asked, a hint of anger could be detected from his deep voice as it felt like Duan Li was looking down on him.

"Huh? Oh nothing, I was trying to find at which point should I retract my fist when I punch someone.." Duan Li replied as he stood up and dusted off his hand and uniform.

"Retract your fist?" Lu Bu said in confusion.

Since when was pushups considered as practicing punches?

"Un. I am currently suffering from some severe internal injury that caused me to be unable to control my power output.. right now, I am using 10 percent of my true strength and this is really dangerous for others!" Duan Li said.

He then continued, "That's why I'm trying to find a comfortable punching distance so that my punch would only be at 1 percent of my current power.. " he finished with a helpless sigh.

Hais! Being too powerful could be really troublesome in times like these!

On the other hand, Lu Bu was on the verge of choking himself when he heard this.

You are severely injured and could only use 10 percent of your strength, but you wanted to reduce it all the way to 1 percent so that you will not injure your opponents?

I think that its your head that was injured severely!

He had seen and heard of several people who could act so outlandish and creative with their mouth, but he had never seen someone as shameless and boastful as this fellow here!

Suppressing the stifled sensation on his chest, Lu Bu refuted, "If what you said is true, then you should consider yourself as unlucky. I've withstood a punch from you at your 10 percent strength at my base form before, and now that I am in my Demonic Hell's Body, there is no way that you can match me at your 10 percent strength!" he said confidently.

Duan Li cupped his chin, "That's because I've sent the majority of the force towards the ground myself.. maybe about 70 percent of it.."

"What?" Seemingly in disbelief, he turned his head to look at where he withstood the punch from the other party the first time before, and he saw a firm footprint from the latter with a perfect crack indented within it!

"This..!"

Recalling his exceptional Grandteacher, which was one of the Five Devas of the Qin Empire, a scene flashed in his mind back when he was still young;

...

"Lu Bu, listen closely. The key to be indestructible from any form of physical attack is the redirection of force!" Qin Yongzheng, Lu Bu's Grandteacher said as he stood bare chested with his hands clasped behind his back, appearing like an immortal from the legends.

"En!! Grandteacher, please enlighten me!" Lu Bu energetically replied.

"Hahahaha! Good! Good! You, come over here and punch me using all of your strength!" Qin Yongzheng said to one of his personal bodyguard.

"Sir!" the bodyguard stepped forward and prepared himself into a stance, before a rippling aura seeped out from the latter!

"Nascent Soul realm expert?!" Lu Bu was well versed with the power level of others by just a single glance. Due to this, he was worried that his Grandteacher would be hurt by the latter. At the same time however, he have 100 percent confidence that his Grandteacher will be able to take it!

BAMMM!!

A resounding smashing sound reverberated across the mountain that they were on right now, akin to a huge mountain cliff that suddenly broke apart by the sheer force of nature!

"Grandteacher.." Lu Bu opened his eyes slowly when the dust finally settled, and he was mesmerized by the scene that he saw!

A fist had firmly planted itself on the boulder-like abs of his Grandteacher, and not even a single dent or cuts could be seen on it. In fact, it was even glistening from the reflection of the sun!

A wide grin appeared on Qin Yongzheng's face as his white teeth overshadowed the entire sun behind him. "See? This is the art of redirecting force! No matter how powerful one's attacks on your body were, if you learnt how to redirect them, you will not be hurt the slightest!"

"Amazing! Where did all the redirected force went Grandteacher?" Lu Bu asked with both of his fists clenched tightly in excitement.

"Huehuehue! In this single footprint of mine!!" his Grandteacher replied as he laughed out loud, and then pointing towards a firm footprint which could be seen when he moved his legs away.

...

"No, that cannot be! Even after training with Grandteacher for more than 10 years, I have only managed to master a minor portion of it!" Lu Bu shook his head.

How can someone younger than me possibly be able to master the art of force redirection to such an extreme degree?

In fact, it even seemed similar to the one his Grandteacher showed..

He must be bluffing!

"Whether or not you are telling me the truth, we can only know through our fist. Come!" Lu Bu beckoned with his hand once more. His mind was set on debunking the question in his mind!

"Sure! I'm also interested to fight you as it seems like you are the strongest out of everyone here!" Duan Li stepped forward before his figure abruptly disappeared with a 'swosh' and reappeared again in front of Lu Bu, a punch heading straight to the latter's face!

"Hmph!" with a side step, Lu Bu was able to dodge the attack. However, the force of the punch was so strong that, because he only avoided it by an inch, it felt as though a portion of it still landed on his face as he took another two steps backwards.

Kuh!

"Take this!" Lu Bu punched out and aimed for Duan Li's left ribs. Seeing this, Duan Li smiled and did not even bother to dodge or block it.

Pengg!!

"Oof!" Lu Bu's teeth clattered together as his fist felt like he just punched a hundred steel beam at the same time!

"What kind of Internal Body Reinforment technique is that?!" he widened his eyes in shock.

Of all the nine empires in the Tian continent, his Demonic Hell's Body could be considered among the top three Body Reinforcement Technique, but even his was not as solid as the latter's body!

"Huehuehue! Take this." Duan Li threw a backhand slap onto Lu Bu's chest.

"What?! His speed is too fast.. I can't dodge this!"

Gritting his teeth, he hardened his body to the maximum and planted his feet firmly to the ground to prepare and redirect the incoming force towards the ground.

"After I redirect the force, I'll kick his stomach and then.."

PAHH!!

Puhe!!

Lu Bu's body rotated uncontrollably like a spinning top, he spun and spun all the way to the edges of the ring and was about to fall off at any moment now.

"Haaaa!!" with sheer willpower, Lu Bu shouted at the top of his lungs and managed to stop himself from spinning.

Haa! Haa!

"..." everyone and the audience.
