Chapter 769 766. Fragile Mortals

Shadow leaned leisurely against the corridor, looking down indifferently at the federal researchers who were coming and going like ants. In the middle of them was a giant silver-white mechanical device with a radius of about five meters.

There is a translucent glass chamber in the center of the device, and Li Hu is lying inside with his eyes closed. Looking at him, one can notice that there are many different colors of skin on his naked body.

In particular, his entire arm was as white and tender as a baby's, and the color change even climbed up to Li Hu's left shoulder and almost spread to his throat.

Even though Li Hu still had some good weapons against the Wind God at that time, he was completely powerless to resist when facing the Wind God in the state of the Final Storm, and was almost killed by him.

Even if there was no federation, he would have lost his left arm forever.

This is not only because the strength of the Wind God in the Final Storm state has approached the peak of Level V, but also because the Federation's number one fighter is actually the most human among all the strong men in the Federation.

Unlike himself, Vulcan, and other powerful men currently in service in the Federation, Li Hu does not have an immaterial body that surpasses humans, nor does he have a strong self-regeneration ability.

If the heart is dug out, the person will become slow in movement; if the brain is destroyed, the person will die completely.

His body is extremely fragile.

What gave Li Hu his strength was not some innate superpower or some magical treasure he acquired later in life, but the "martial arts" he had practiced with great difficulty.

Although he seemed to be able to transform when fighting, Shadow knew very well that it was not a real change of form, but an illusion caused by some powerful martial arts, but this illusion was enough to be mistaken for the real thing.

Just as Li Hu shouted, he never really turned into a tiger.

He was just using tiger fist.

The so-called martial arts is a very special skill. It is an ancient technology unique to the Eastern Federation. It is said that a long time ago, some martial arts even had effects similar to "magic".

Although those martial arts that are close to magic are called so, their effects are far beyond ordinary magic. For example, the Federation once wanted to find some martial arts that could prolong life through Li Hu, but according to Li Hu, this technology had been lost long ago and was not something that ordinary politicians could master.

In addition there are various quite terrifying martial arts.

For example, swordsmanship that can kill the opponent before swinging the sword, techniques that allow one to go back and forth between life and death, boxing that can completely neutralize or even rebound damage, and gun skills that can win with a backhand, etc...

But these technologies have basically been lost, and Li Hu has not mastered this level of technology.

At least that's what he claimed.

Even his boxing style that could create illusions was only infinitely close to those techniques. In Li Hu's words, the moves at that level were called "innate", and it was also what he desired most in his life.

“Any warrior is a mortal before he reaches the innate level. All we can do is to constantly temper this fragile body and turn it into a deadly enough weapon, but these are inferior methods.

“If we in the acquired realm are pursuing the limits of the human body, then the innate realm is about making wings grow on the backs of humans, gills squeeze out of their throats, claws extend from their hands, and fangs spew out of their mouths.

"I'm not even close yet."

This is what Li Hu once said to Shadow, and it is also the reason why Li Hu is working for the Federation. He has heard that many great warriors entered the innate realm in battle.

But he didn't have that many people to fight with, and if he really just picked someone to fight, he would probably die in a corner soon. After all, he was just a mortal.

That's why he found the Federation and asked them to provide him with combat scenarios. In addition to the opportunity to fight, there was another very important reason for him to join the Federation, and this was why the Federation valued Li Hu so much, trusted him so much, and made him the Federation's top fighter.

After the Sun God intervened, Li Hu instantly realized that he had no chance of resistance, and he would even lose faster than the last time he fought with Serran.

After losing his weapon to fight against the God of Wind, he was instantly severely injured by the opponent. The situation was completely the opposite of their last fight. This was because Li Hu had a very special strength.

He is a "master of weapons".

Or in other words, he is a martial arts master.

This identity not only means that he has strong martial arts skills, but more importantly, it is about the reasons why Li Hu can become a martial arts master.

Martial arts are different from superpowers and magic. It is a technology that is completely rooted in combat. Its goal is definitely not to prolong life, bring the dead back to life, or do anything more sophisticated.

Self-preservation, victory, and killing are the goals of martial arts.

This is a pure and advanced technique. Anyone who can master it must have a strong talent and understanding for the purest combat, as well as a strong understanding of various weapons.

Not only weapons that have complex technology themselves, but many simple weapons also require proper use, such as the "tranquilizer gun" that can destroy the Doomsday Storm, which can be used smoothly by creating a vacuum.

This kind of trivial decision is also Li Hu's strong point.

If he were given enough specialized weapons, he could almost defeat most of the strong men of the same level in the world. Shadow even believed that he could defeat himself - provided that such weapons existed.

That's why the Federation and he both like each other so much.

For Li Hu, the Federation can always provide him with suitable opponents and weapons. They have a good enough intelligence system and arsenal, allowing him to enjoy every battle.

For the Federation, besides being able to deal with almost any situation, such a strong person has another benefit...

That is, he is quite easy to control. If the outcome of Li Hu's battle depends largely on his weapons and intelligence about the enemy, they don't have to worry about the other side turning against them.

Shadow was also very clear that the problem this time was not with Li Hu's performance, but with the Federation's intelligence problem. In fact, Li Hu had basically defeated the Wind God, and if there were no accidents, the battle would be over.

The Federation was also prepared to deal with attacks from other gods such as Poseidon.

The only thing I didn't expect was that it would be the dead sun god who would take action.

If he knew this information and prepared more exclusive weapons of the God of Wind, Shadow believed that Li Hu would still be able to successfully complete the Federation's goals, although they might change their goals in that case.

Shadow even felt that as long as he could provide Li Hu with suitable weapons, he would not have no chance of winning even if he faced the newborn Sun God - if he had the equipment from his last battle with Seran, he would not have fled so miserably, and he could even fight the opponent on equal terms.

Just like the confrontation at that time.

That's what Shadow thought.

But he knew federal politicians would disagree.
