Chen Guan swayed but didn't fall down. He just shook his head, stood up straight again, and looked at Shang Ziyi, asking, "What did you say? My ears just got a bit deafened, I didn't hear clearly."

Shang Ziyi's pupils contracted in surprise. That was his level 21 Broken Jade Fist, a secret skill specifically designed to counter horizontal training secret skills.

Chen Guan took a direct hit from the Broken Jade Fist to the temple, yet only felt a little deafened in the ears. This left Shang Ziyi rather astonished.

"What kind of body protection secret skill could have such a strong defensive capability?" Shang Ziyi looked at Chen Guan, his gaze changing somewhat.

There was no longer contempt in his eyes, but rather a growing fire inside.

"Interesting..." Shang Ziyi suddenly accelerated, his hands turning into fingers, sending streaks of finger glows like shooting stars continuously striking at Chen Guan.

The Soul-breaking Death Finger, a secret skill that targets the lethal acupoints of the human body. No matter how well one trains their body protection secret skill, there will always be weaknesses, thin spots.

Typically, such weaknesses are located at these lethal acupoints.

Because the lethal points themselves are the most vulnerable places of the human body, even hard-trained body protection secret skills find it difficult to cover these weaknesses comprehensively.

Moreover, the primordial energy used in body protection secret skills is limited, making it impossible to protect all weak spots like they are invulnerable, especially against the Condensed Force Acupoint Stabbing method of the Soul-breaking Death Finger. Even people with unparalleled body protection divine skill at Second Awakening full level cannot withstand getting their weak spots hit.

Shang Ziyi's body moved skillfully, like a professional fighter battling a hobbyist, toying with Chen Guan as if he were clumsy.

With every strike, the finger glows heavily targeted different lethal acupoints on Chen Guan's body.

However, Shang Ziyi's gaze grew increasingly frenzied because he noticed that even after targeting all of Chen Guan's lethal points, his Soul-breaking Death Finger still couldn't break through Chen Guan's defense.

Shang Ziyi kept moving his steps while managing his primordial energy's consumption and recovery, relentlessly using various secret skills trying to break Chen Guan's body protection divine skill.

But Chen Guan was too resilient, even with various secret skills breaking through horizontal training body protection divine skills, he still couldn't harm Chen Guan.

Duan Shulin was secretly astonished, "Is the Azure Heaven Dominating Body that resilient? Wasn't it sold too cheap back then?"

Then he thought it was reasonable, after all, the primordial energy consumption was so substantial; without someone like Chen Guan who has the ability to swiftly recover primordial energy, others wouldn't be able to handle such a body protection secret skill.

He didn't know that the Azure Heaven Dominating Body wasn't originally this resilient. While it's indeed powerful, its level is still relatively low, and it wasn't originally capable of withstanding Shang Ziyi's attacks.

The true reason behind the exceptional strength of the Azure Heaven Dominating Body was the doubled power enhancement from the Secret Technique of One.

Shang Ziyi couldn't break Chen Guan's defense, and Chen Guan's footwork gradually began to change, and his body movements were also becoming different.

Although he still couldn't completely dodge Shang Ziyi's attacks, Shang Ziyi was no longer able to predict Chen Guan's actions as easily as before.

Using similar footwork and body movement methods, Chen Guan was gradually able to avoid a small part of Shang Ziyi's attacks.

Qin Ziyu had been watching the battle in silence, not even blinking an eye.

Because he saw a familiar feeling in Chen Guan.

That feeling is mysterious, indescribable; it is a special state, but Qin Ziyu, as a comprehender of this state, sensed it.

He thought Chen Guan, like him before, accidentally entered that state. Therefore, he watched Chen Guan exceptionally attentively, hoping to glean some inspiration from it.

For the past days, he had been trying to re-enter the Wuji state, but every time ended in failure, never succeeding again in unlocking the Ultimate of the Infinite.

Seeing the familiar sensation emanating from Chen Guan at this moment, Qin Ziyu thought to himself, "Indeed, great minds think alike; Chen Guan also comprehended the Wuji state."

Qin Ziyu originally thought of Chen Guan as a kindred spirit, and now felt an even stronger sense of camaraderie between heroes.

Shang Ziyi's frenzied onslaught couldn't break through Chen Guan's defense, but his face and eyes showed no hint of discouragement; instead, they became more and more frenetic.

At this moment, Shang Ziyi was like a devil seeking lives, rushing forward, blocking Chen Guan's fist, and simultaneously turning behind Chen Guan, locking Chen Guan's neck with both arms tightly, trying to dislocate or break it directly.

Yet under the mighty presence of the Azure Heaven Dominating Body, even Shang Ziyi's power couldn't budge it.

Chen Guan suddenly twisted his body, forcefully broke apart Shang Ziyi's locked arms, and grabbed his collar, performing an over-the-shoulder throw, sending Shang Ziyi's body soaring into the air, about to hit the ground.

In mid-air, Shang Ziyi's hands coiled around Chen Guan's body like snakes, somehow exerting force, twisting his body in mid-air like a rubber band, and arched downwards.

At the instant his feet touched the ground, his arched back and waist explosively exerted force, pulling Chen Guan's body up, lifting him over his head and slamming him heavily onto the ground.

The rocks on the ground were smashed to pieces by Chen Guan's impact. Shang Ziyi pressed on Chen Guan's head, his entire being pouncing on Chen Guan like a mad dog, bringing his knees in an extremely bizarre posture to fiercely bash against Chen Guan's jaw. His bodily movements seemed to have surpassed the limits of the human body, appearing more like a monster than a person.

Chen Guan reached out to block Shang Ziyi's knee, while Shang Ziyi kept pressing on Chen Guan's head with one hand, continuing to alternate his knees bashing against Chen Guan's jaw.

Chen Guan's body carved a deep groove into the ground from the impact, pushing the ground apart for several tens of meters until Shang Ziyi abruptly grabbed Chen Guan's head, lifted his body, and delivered a skyward kick, hitting Chen Guan's chin with a force as strong as colliding with a pillar, kicking Chen Guan into the air.

While Chen Guan's body was still in mid-air, Shang Ziyi leaped up, catching up from behind, transforming his legs into blade-like strikes, furiously kicking at Chen Guan's body.

Seeing Chen Guan being attacked so crazily, both Qin Ziyu and Duan Shulin were a bit worried, unsure if he could withstand it.

Chen Guan's body fell heavily to the ground, and Shang Ziyi descended from above with a powerful chopping leg, aiming fiercely at Chen Guan's head.

Boom!

Energy erupted, clashing like metal and iron.

Yet Shang Ziyi's downward chopping leg was stopped in mid-air, Chen Guan half-kneeling on the ground, raising his left arm to block that sword-like straight leg.

Bam!

Chen Guan exerted force with his arm, lifting Shang Ziyi's leg upward, causing Shang Ziyi's entire body to flip in the air but land steadily on the ground, standing upright, his knees not even bending, like a compass.

"Your rhythm… I've memorized it..." Chen Guan slowly stood up, looked at Shang Ziyi, and said with a smile.
