Chapter 707 Li Shuwen, I need your help with my cultivation!
After the battle, Li Shuwen continued to train Xiaozhi in basic combat skills.
"Haha! Brother Shuwen, are you teaching Xiaozhi the basics of fighting?"
Shiba strode over, his bronze muscles gleaming in the sunlight.
Li Shuwen turned around, "What is this, King Shiba...?"
Shiba grinned, stretched his shoulders, and made a cracking sound.
"Super Strength lost," he said, "but I haven't lost yet. I can sense that you are also a master."
"So, I'd like to spar with you in martial arts and test your Midas touch."
Li Shuwen's eyes lit up.
It was the excitement of meeting a worthy opponent.
"it is good."
Xiao Zhi stared wide-eyed from the side.
"Shuwen is going to fight Elite Four member Shiba?! Without using Pokémon?!"
Xiao Gang emerged from the woods, a notebook in his hand—he had come to record Li Shuwen's training methods, but he hadn't expected to stumble upon such a good show.
Xiaoxia followed behind him, with half of an unfinished cream ice cream still in her mouth.
"What? You want to fight?"
Li Meining appeared at some point, leaning against a tree with her arms crossed and a smile of anticipation on her face.
"Damn it!" she said. "This is going to be interesting."
"Here it comes... King Shiba's Steel Fist Technique, the pinnacle of external martial arts, combining fist and leg in one, its power capable of breaking through all techniques!"
Xiao Gang's voice trembled: "The strength of King Shiba's muscles has exceeded the limit. Every punch can break a tree and shatter a rock."
"And the text..."
Having witnessed Li Shuwen suppress Mewtwo with a single punch, Xiao Gang was very clear about Li Shuwen's strength.
Shiba looked around at the "audience" and burst into laughter.
"Perfect! Let me show you what real fighting is!"
He spread his feet apart, lowered his center of gravity, and held his chest with his fists, one in front and one behind.
In that instant, his entire demeanor changed.
No longer the carefree foodie, but a ferocious beast poised to pounce.
His muscles were taut, his eyes were sharp, and every nerve was stretched to its limit.
Li Shuwen stood with his feet naturally apart and his hands hanging at his sides.
But Shiba's eyes narrowed, because he found that Li Shuwen had no flaws.
"—Drink it!!"
Shiba launched the first attack!
With a thunderous roar that sent leaves rustling down his face, he charged down like a tiger emerging from the mountains, his right foot slamming into the ground, creating a shallow crater and sending shards of rock flying.
His right fist, accompanied by a gust of wind, slammed out with a thunderous roar—it was the steel fist technique he had painstakingly honed over decades.
"The opening ceremony!"
The force of the punches was swift and piercing, like tearing silk.
A nearby oak tree, as thick as a bowl, was struck by the force of the punch and snapped in half, crashing down with a loud "crack".
Bold and unrestrained, solid and straightforward.
The left fist followed closely behind, while the right leg swept horizontally at the same time. The fist struck the center line, and the leg swept the lower body. In one move, all the space for dodging was sealed off.
Shiba's every strike was sharp and clean, without any fancy moves, with his power exploding outwards as if he wanted to shatter the entire forest.
"Well done!"
Li Shuwen did not retreat but advanced.
He didn't confront it head-on, but instead used softness to overcome hardness.
His figure swayed like a willow in the wind, and with a slight twist of his waist and abdomen, he drew an almost ghostly arc, precisely dodging the Mountain-Splitting Fist.
With a flick of the wrist, the fingertips rested on Shiba's forearm like flowing water, gently pulling and releasing.
The ferocious power of the steel fist was deflected and slammed into empty air, sending dust flying everywhere!
Immediately afterwards, Li Shuwen snapped his knuckles, turning softness into hardness, and delivered a short punch straight to Xiba's Jianjing acupoint.
So fast that only a blur remains.
Shiba's reaction was astonishing. His left arm instantly lashed out to defend, his muscles tensing like an iron wall, and he took the punch head-on with a loud "thud."
The shockwave exploded, and both of them took half a step back.
The real battle begins now.
Their fists and feet clashed, the sound like metal and stone.
Shiba's steel fist technique was incredibly ferocious, with his fists and four legs striking in rapid succession, leaving no room for error.
He was a humanoid combat weapon, and his destructive power was in no way inferior to his superhuman strength!
Li Shuwen's figure weaved through the attacks like a swimming fish.
Sometimes as gentle as flowing water, deflecting immense force; other times as fierce as thunder, striking directly at the opponent's weakness.
He embodies a perfect blend of strength and gentleness, with every move perfectly executed and every stance pointing directly to the essence of martial arts.
The two moved so fast that they were just blurry images.
Fist shadows, leg shadows, energy blasts, and afterimages intertwined wildly in the center of the open space.
"Boom boom boom boom—!!"
The muffled thuds continued, even more thrilling than the clash of Pokémon moves.
Shiba roared and threw out both fists.
"Steel Fist Technique: Double Peak Piercing!"
He slammed both fists into Li Shuwen's chest at the same time, the force so great that the air itself seemed to explode.
Li Shuwen stepped forward, his body leaping into the air, his legs spinning like a whirlwind, delivering a series of kicks that forcefully smashed open Shiba's fists.
The moment he landed, his elbow slammed horizontally, aimed straight at Shiba's throat.
Shiba tilted his head back to avoid the blow, then delivered a vicious knee strike.
Li Shuwen tucked his waist and abdomen, narrowly dodging the attack. His knee grazed the hem of his clothes and flew past before crashing into the rocks behind him.
Boom!
The rock, which was half a person high, shattered and scattered debris everywhere.
The entire clearing in the woods has been completely altered.
The ground was covered with cracks and pits, trees as thick as bowls were broken and scattered all over the ground, rocks were crushed into fragments, and dust and fallen leaves were swirled into the air by the gusts of wind and lingered for a long time.
This is not a friendly competition; it's a clash of deadly weapons.
"My brother's reaction was too fast! Every punch from King Shiba was a killing move, and he predicted them all!"
Li Meining's voice trembled, her eyes filled with awe. "King Shiba's muscles are hard enough to block skills, but Brother Shuwen's inch punch can penetrate defenses."
"This is the pinnacle of martial arts!" Xiao Gang roared. "One pursues absolute power and destruction, the other pursues ultimate skill and balance!"
"It's perfect!"
Xiaoxia covered her mouth: "Are they... really human?!"
Ash was trembling, not from fear, but from excitement: "That was awesome! This is the ultimate battle! I want to be like that too!"
In the midst of the fierce battle, Li Shuwen suddenly changed his tactics.
He deliberately created an opening, allowing Shiba to punch him in the chest.
Shiba fell for it!
With a single punch, a dazzling yellow light condensed on the fist's edge.
"Steel Fist Technique: Explosive Unparalleled!"
Just as the punch was about to land, Li Shuwen vanished.
"What?!!"
Shiba's pupils contracted sharply, and he had no time to react.
The next second, Li Shuwen suddenly appeared behind Shiba.
With a faint blue light emanating from his right foot, he kicked Shiba in the back.
"Flying Swallow Kick!"
Shibana's nearly two-meter-tall, imposing body was sent flying as if hit by a high-speed truck.
His body traced an arc in the air before crashing heavily into a giant tree that would take three people to encircle.
"BOOM—!!"
The giant tree shook violently, its branches broke, and its leaves fell like a torrential rain.
Shiba slid to the ground, exhaling a breath of foul air.
His muscles were as tough as black iron. Li Shuwen held back with his kick, only knocking him back without causing serious injury.
"Ugh—!!"
Shiba roared, and his muscles bulged.
The bottleneck in his true energy that had been blocked for three whole years was shattered by this kick.
A layer of dazzling yellow true energy, as bright as the blazing sun, surged wildly from his body, golden light enveloping his entire body, and his aura directly soared to a whole new level.
He staggered to his feet, looked down at the golden light in his hands, and, both surprised and delighted, burst into wild laughter:
"I've broken through! My true energy... I've broken through! Shuwen, that kick of yours was simply divine!!"
