Chapter 148: Only Knowing the Fur

Under everyone's gaze, two groups of people walked into the park square from different directions.

On one side, Yi Beidou was walking in the front in a loose sportswear, like a young man coming to the park for a morning jog. Meng Qianyuan, Zhou Baiwei, and Yang Mutong followed behind him.

On the other side, Yori was wearing a loose black hooded sweatshirt. Derek and several white youths followed behind him. Each of them was extremely tall, like a giant.

The two sides did not approach each other, but stopped at a distance of about thirty meters between them.

"It's really Mr. Yi! I didn't expect to see Mr. Yi fight with someone of the same level with my own eyes!"

Everyone in the Dechang Martial Arts Society looked a little excited. They could be said to be the first group of people to discover that Mr. Yi was different and had a special feeling in their hearts.

We must win! We must represent our Donghua martial arts and defeat the invading enemy!

Not only the people from Dechang Martial Arts Club, but also the people outside the square who were watching the battle through telescopes and other equipment had excited looks on their faces.

Just seeing both parties enter the venue made them feel their blood boiling.

This is the charm of martial arts and competition, and the desire to win that is deeply rooted in human genes.

However, what disappointed everyone was that the first people to stand up were not Yi Beidou and Yoli, but the two people behind them.

But soon, after recognizing the identities of the two, everyone's enthusiasm was aroused again.

Meng Qianyuan and Derek!
Today, it is not only a showdown between two saints, but also a duel between the two of them.

On one side is the favorite to win the Wuyinglunkai, and on the other side is the warrior from the Starry Sky Country who has caused a huge disturbance by losing to several provincial champions in a row.

This is also a very representative battle.

The two men walked out from the crowd and stood ten steps away from each other.

"I hope you have some real skills, and don't be like those people before, who were vulnerable."

A smile appeared on Derek's lips, and he slowly pulled out his huge palms like palm-leaf fans from his trouser pockets.

"I hope you're as good as the rumors say."

Meng Qianyuan looked calm, without any trace of fear on his face.

"You will soon realize that the gap between you and me is not just about individuals, but about roads and civilizations."

The smile on Derek's face became more and more wanton.

next moment.

Bang! !

The blood in his body surged, and his muscles swelled up. His already strong body expanded again, and the loose clothes on his body were stretched tightly, turning them into a tight-fitting suit.

If the clothes on his body had not been specially made using the latest technology and possessed extremely strong elasticity, they would have exploded by now.

In an instant, he seemed to have transformed from a tall and strong young man into the "Hulk" in film and television works.

This change in form is so sudden in appearance that it is comparable to the body of a saint.

Whoops! !
The air flow from his breathing was like a dragon, and circles of smoke and dust were blown up above the flat ground.

The people watching the fight couldn't help but talk about it when they saw this. It was already unbelievable that one could develop the body to such an extent after becoming a saint.

"Is this this this really still a human being?"

When everyone in Dechang Martial Arts Club witnessed this change with their own eyes, they couldn't help but stare in amazement.

No wonder this person’s nickname on the Internet is “Muscle Mutant”; this level of physical ability is really too exaggerated.

Almost indistinguishable from real mutants.

"Of course he is still human. This is the ability that the Star Country calls 'New Martial Arts'. They use technological means to develop human body functions in a more thorough and terrifying way."

Pan Hexuan said in a deep voice.

The entry of foreign warriors into Donghua, especially several warriors from the Star Country who displayed extremely strong strength, brought a huge shock to the Magic City where martial artists from all walks of life gathered. Everyone began to open their eyes to the world and gained a deeper understanding of some foreign martial arts systems.

To be honest, the more they understand, the more worried and fearful they become.

The Starry Sky Nation summarized the essence of various martial arts training methods from all over the world and created the most perfect way of physical exercise, which has gradually developed the potential of the human body to the limit. Its strength is so strong that it is simply outrageous, which makes some people begin to doubt the correctness of the martial arts they are practicing.

Could it be that Donghua martial arts are really outdated? Is what Star Country has mastered the most in line with the times and human development?

This thought continues to echo in many people's minds.

The Mueironkai contestants who were defeated by Derek were also present, with mysterious gleams in their eyes.

This battle may reveal some results.

"I heard that you are gifted and have innate divine power. It just so happens that I also have a similar talent. You and I have both reached the limit below becoming a saint. Why don't we try it first to see who has the stronger power?"

A smile appeared on Derek's lips.

He slightly turned sideways, took a lunge forward, put his feet sideways, and stretched out one hand towards Meng Qianyuan in a wrestling gesture.

There was a gleam of light in Meng Qianyuan's eyes, and the blood in his body surged, and his muscles swelled.

But his body shape, which was originally comparable to Derek's, now seemed much smaller than Derek's.

Boom! !

He took a step forward, his feet touching Derek's, and stretched out a hand to hold Derek's.

The two men were in a wrestling posture, and whoever moved first would be weaker.

The next moment, the two of them exerted their strength at the same time.

Click! !
The muscles on the clenched arms exploded, veins were exposed, and the two men exerted force with their feet. The terrifying forces interacted with each other, squeezing the ground, causing spider-web-like cracks to appear on the ground, and they were still spreading.

The most primitive power that was released wantonly moved the spectators.

It is incredible that after becoming a saint, one’s physical strength can reach such a level.

The two men remained in a stalemate for about five breaths, and the expressions of the crowd gradually began to change.

They had seen that the focus of the two men was continuously changing, shifting in the direction of Derek.

This shows that Derek's power is gaining the upper hand.

At this moment, a smile appeared on Derek's lips and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

Cheers! !

He suddenly let out a low roar and burst out with his strongest strength. The ground suddenly exploded with rubble. Under the pull of the huge force, Meng Qianyuan's body lost balance briefly. He could no longer stop his steps and took a step forward.

The crowd watching the fight from the outside burst into an uproar.

Meng Qianyuan, the favorite to win the Wuyinglunhui, was actually defeated by Derek? !

The crowd watching in the square also fell silent.

People in the martial arts world who are familiar with Meng Qianyuan know that he has amazing supernatural powers and his moves are fierce and domineering.

Strength is his greatest reliance, but now it has fallen into a disadvantage.

Although it was just wrestling and not a real fight, my strong point had already been defeated and my self-confidence must have suffered a huge blow. How could I still fight?
The outcome seemed to be decided.

Even Zhou Baiwei and Yang Mutong beside Yi Beidou opened their mouths, worried about Meng Qianyuan.

Only Yi Beidou remained calm at this time.

"You are indeed outstanding. Okay, now that the small event is over, let's start the main competition."

What surprised everyone was that there was not much fluctuation on Meng Qianyuan's face. After retracting his hand, his expression was quite calm.

"Your talent is your greatest reliance. Now that your strong point has been defeated by me, you don't think you can defeat me with just your moves, do you?"

"I don't think it's necessary to do this anymore. You have already represented the limit of Donghua's physical strength after becoming a saint, but you are still no match for me. The techniques we have mastered and the development of our bodies have surpassed you. These traditional martial arts are just the nourishment for us to move towards a new era, and you are just a part of the nourishment!"

"Do you really know where the limits of your body are? How can you develop it to maximize the strength of your body? What kind of moves are most in line with the movement laws of the body and can exert the most powerful force? We have mastered all of these."

Derek smiled and spoke sharply. He glanced at the silent Donghua warriors around him. This was the effect he wanted to achieve.

It will break their faith and even affect the outcome of the subsequent battle for sanctification.

He is accumulating momentum for his own camp!
This is why he wanted to fight Meng Qianyuan today.

The Donghua warrior opened his mouth, but could not speak.

Because what Derek said was indeed true.

The Starry Sky Country has collected martial arts secrets from many countries around the world and conducted in-depth research. By combining them with the most advanced technology, it has become a world leader in physical development.

"You are indeed ahead of the world in the development of your body, but that is not all of martial arts. The true meaning of my Donghua martial arts has never been about the ultimate development of the body."

"You have collected thousands of martial arts from all over the world, analyzed them, and thought you had gathered the essence, but in fact you have only grasped the surface. You understand the subtle ways to develop your body, but you cannot understand the true meaning behind those cold techniques."

"The highest realm of Donghua martial arts is not about form but about meaning. All the moves, while developing the body, ultimately aim to sublimate the mind, to break through the mysteries of life and death, and to break through the barriers between heaven and man. These things require a deep immersion in the culture and philosophy of this land to be truly understood. They cannot be explained by simple moves, nor can they be mastered by simple data analysis."

"I used to be just like you. I relied on my physical talents and great strength, thinking that I could handle everything and break through the levels. Until I met Mr. Yi, he told me that martial arts training is not about how to increase strength, but how to control oneself. As the saying goes, my destiny is determined by myself, and my supernatural powers are born by myself. This is something you cannot understand."

Meng Qianyuan's tone was calm.

If he had lost to Derek in wrestling before meeting Yi Beidou, his mentality would have collapsed, and he might even have questioned himself and the martial arts he practiced, just like everyone else present.

But now, everything is different. He has long understood that his own strength is limited. He should restrain himself and practice true meaning instead of pinning everything on the flesh.

Although Derek is physically strong, how does he compare to Yi Beidou?
But it's like the light of a grain of rice competing with the bright moon.

"Come on, the real battle is coming!"

Meng Qianyuan assumed a boxing stance, arched his body, and put his palms inside, ready to strike.

boom! !

A terrifying fist intent burst out from his body.

It is surging, murderous, and ferocious, but it has Zen at its core.

It was this hint of Zen that made his murderous aura even more powerful, far surpassing that of the masters at the peak of the soul-stealing level.

Only when yin and yang are combined and positive and negative complement each other can one be broad and great.

Meng Qianyuan is a genuine "half-saint". Although he is still far from becoming a saint, how could he be afraid of anyone below the saint?
Even if his opponent is physically stronger than him, he will still win the battle steadily!

Under the stimulation of this fist intention, Derek's pupils contracted.

In his eyes, Meng Qianyuan, who was originally smaller than him, was rapidly expanding and becoming taller and taller.

The body is limited, but the human heart is unlimited.

When Yi Beidou saw this scene, a rare smile appeared on his calm face.
