White Zhan Tang’s movements were as elusive as a ghost, easily dodging Lu Yu’s attack before turning around and striking out with a finger!
His finger was as swift as the wind, as lightning!
This was the Sunflower Acupoint Striking Hand!
Seeing White Zhan Tang’s right hand condense into a sword-finger about to strike his acupoint, Lu Yu quickly struck out with a palm!
Five Luo Light Smoke Palm!
His palm force shot out rapidly, striking White Zhan Tang in mid-air, instantly resolving the crisis.
“Hm?”
Upon seeing this, White Zhan Tang was somewhat surprised.
Although this palm technique was not very powerful, and being hit directly only made his body tremble slightly without any real damage, its speed was truly fast, faster than his Sunflower Acupoint Striking Hand.
What an odd martial art.
“Close call, I almost lost. Big Brother White, your fighting style is too fast. Light work to close in, acupoint striking follows, a smooth little combo comes down, ordinary people would be hard-pressed to defend.
Even if it's a top-tier expert, if they're not careful they'll lose.”
Lu Yu commented.
If he hadn’t had some understanding of White Zhan Tang and prepared beforehand, he would have lost with that last strike.
Seeing that Lu Yu could see through his style at a glance, White Zhan Tang was also quite surprised.
It sounds simple, but being able to see through it in one go is not simple at all.
As Lu Yu said, White Zhan Tang’s fighting style is speed-based, emphasizing a quick and decisive victory!
If one strike doesn’t work, you can consider using light work to run away.
This is also the most suitable fighting style for a thief.
Thieves rely on skill, unlike robbers who like to play with fire, doing the life-or-death kind of stuff.
“But you blocked it. Although I’ve been slacking these past two years, my speed isn’t as fast as before, but I’m still a Xiantian expert after all.
You were able to block it, truly unexpected.”
White Zhan Tang said.
“Hehe, it's because I saw Big Brother White’s acupoint striking before, so I was prepared.”
“So it was like that. Seems like I can’t rely on tricks with you. Again?”
“Okay!”
Under the moonlight, their figures crossed paths, their fight went back and forth.
The light work both cultivated were no ordinary martial arts, but White Zhan Tang's cultivation was higher, so he was faster.
Lu Yu wasn't surprised to see this, he just fought while observing White Zhan Tang's moves, diligently learning.
Although White Zhan Tang hadn’t seriously fought with anyone in two years, he had been running around the martial world with White San Niang since he was little, achieving the name of “Thief Saint” at the age of fifteen, his foundation was deep, and he quickly regained his feel.
However, he didn’t feel increasingly lighter, instead, his pressure gradually increased.
“This kid Little Lu… he’s improving so fast.”
White Zhan Tang soon discovered that Lu Yu was rapidly improving his combat experience through their exchange.
His movements were more natural and smooth, no longer as sluggish as they were initially.
He used the Sunflower Acupoint Striking Hand to strike out repeatedly, Lu Yu first dodged with his light work, then found that dodging was impossible, so he used palm force to lightly push away, avoiding vital points.
As a result, he could still hit, but not the vital points, so there was only a slight pain, and no effect on his opponent.
This kind of quick reaction during battle is something that needs to be slowly accumulated through long-term combat experience, but Lu Yu was able to rapidly improve through a brief exchange, truly remarkable.
“What a monster. No wonder he cultivates so fast.”
White Zhan Tang sighed in his heart, he never imagined that Lu Yu’s martial arts training would be like a crane soaring into the sky, unstoppable.
He knew that once such a figure entered the martial world, he would surely stir up countless storms.
With a sudden flash of thought, White Zhan Tang’s figure flickered, creating distance between himself and Lu Yu, then struck out again with a finger, aiming at Lu Yu!
His finger was as swift as the wind, as lightning!
The same acupoint striking hand, but this time, the speed and power were even more shocking.
Because at this time, White Zhan Tang’s feel had fully recovered.
Lu Yu only felt a white shadow flash in front of his eyes, then White Zhan Tang's finger struck towards him.
“No good!”
Seeing this, Lu Yu muttered, quickly retreating, trying to dodge the finger.
But no matter how he retreated, the sword-finger seemed to have navigation, he couldn’t shake it off no matter what.
This strike ultimately still landed on him.
Puff puff!
The finger force landed on his acupoint, Lu Yu immediately felt that he couldn’t move his entire body, only his mouth could still speak.
“I lost.”
Lu Yu said helplessly.
Losing to White Zhan Tang wasn’t a shameful thing.
He was a well-known figure in the martial world after all, a top figure among the younger generation, his cultivation had reached the Xiantian realm, much stronger than him.
Being able to fight until now was already remarkable.
If White Zhan Tang's martial arts hadn’t become rusty, Lu Yu would have been defeated long ago.
“Little Lu, your talent is truly exaggerated. Although I can beat you now, I feel that a year later, I might not be your match.
Just by fighting with you, I can feel the difference between your combat before and after.”
White Zhan Tang released Lu Yu’s acupoints, sighing.
Lu Yu smiled and said, “Big Brother White, your Sunflower Acupoint Striking Hand is still amazing. As long as you hit the acupoint, you can win, and you don’t even harm people.”
“If you hit the death acupoint, the Sunflower Acupoint Striking Hand can also kill. But I’m not naturally fond of killing, so I’ve never hit anyone’s death acupoint.
Walking the martial world, I try not to kill if I can, how many grievances can we settle with vengeance?
White Zhan Tang sighed.
This was also a reason why he disliked the martial world.
In the martial world, it’s too hard to avoid killing.
For fame and fortune, even if you don’t have the intention of killing, someone will want to kill you.
Just because of the empty title of "Thief Saint", he had been assassinated by many people.
There were too many people who wanted to become famous on his back.
Hearing this, Lu Yu didn’t retort.
He knew White Zhan Tang was good-natured and disliked killing.
“Big Brother White, can you teach me the Sunflower Acupoint Striking Hand? If it’s inconvenient, then teach me how to release acupoints.
Otherwise, if I walk the martial world later and get struck by someone, I’ll be in trouble.”
Lu Yu made his request, this was also the main reason he invited White Zhan Tang tonight.
In terms of acupoint striking techniques, Sunflower Acupoint Striking Hand is also ranked highly in the martial world.
There are only a few that can compare to it, for example, the Dali Duan Clan's One Yang Finger.
Even Huang Yaoshi's Orchid-Touching Acupoint Hand, it’s still a step behind.
Moreover, for Lu Yu, a time traveler, the Sunflower Acupoint Striking Hand, this martial art has a great deal of childhood nostalgia attached to it.
After thinking for a moment, White Zhan Tang said, "Little Lu, with our relationship, teaching you the Sunflower Acupoint Striking Hand isn’t a problem.
But you have to promise me, don't show it off in front of people easily.”
“Why?”
Lu Yu asked in confusion.
“Because this martial art comes from a hidden organization in the martial world called the Sunflower Sect. My mother and I both came from this organization.
This organization is very mysterious and large, the four Elders inside are all from extraordinary backgrounds, three of them have shocking cultivation above the realm of Grandmaster.
Ten years ago, I escaped from the Sunflower Sect, I'm already a traitor of the Sunflower Sect.
If they find me, even I can’t protect myself.
If they discover that you’ve learned the Sunflower Acupoint Striking Hand, I'm afraid you won’t escape either.”
