With a single punch thrown by Prince Yu, Lufan found himself unable to resist or evade, seemingly cornered into a desperate situation.
However, two individuals did not share this belief.
One of them was Uncle Fu.
If anyone present understood Lufan the best, it would undoubtedly be Uncle Fu. Having had numerous battles against Lufan, what left the deepest impression on him was not only Lufan's endless array of Martial Arts Secret Techniques but also his astonishing performances during combat.
In their many encounters, there were several instances where Lufan appeared to be at an absolute disadvantage, almost impossible to turn the tide and left with no choice but to concede. Yet, he would always come up with a genius response out of nowhere, allowing him to escape from perilous situations.
Reflecting on the techniques Lufan employed during those moments still left Uncle Fu in awe; they were unexpected yet effective, truly deserving of admiration.
Thus, even though Lufan now found himself in what seemed like a certain death situation, Uncle Fu chose not to intervene but rather to watch from the sidelines.
This was a testament to absolute trust!
The other person who held this belief was naturally Lufan himself.
In the face of battle, he never succumbed to despair. Having endured through countless difficult predicaments, why would he worry about this one? Even if the path ahead seemed like a dead end, he would find a glimmer of hope!
Moreover, he had already devised a countermeasure.
While Prince Yu was still speaking, Lufan had secretly gathered his strength and made all necessary preparations.
If all directions—front, back, left, right, and above—are blocked and there is no way to dodge, where should one hide?
The answer is, of course, underground!
If others knew what Lufan was thinking at that moment, they would surely find it incomprehensible. There are no paths underground, how could one hide? But in Lufan's mind, this question does not exist; if there is no path, then he will tear one out!
The location where Lufan was fighting Prince Yu was on the outskirts of Qingyang City, with the ground paved entirely with Azure Brick, which was extremely thick. When Qingyang City was built, in order to guard against Primordial Beasts, they paved the road outside the city for half a mile with Azure Brick.
Previously, Prince Yu's punch had already caused large cracks to form in the ground, creating a terrifying spectacle. Now, Lufan was about to perform an even more astonishing act!
At the moment Prince Yu's arm moved, Lufan had already used the Transference of Heaven and Earth Mind Technique to transfer all the power pressing down on him from above to his feet. Although he could not completely transfer the unpredictable force of his punch, it did not mean that pure brute strength was ineffective!
At the same time, he sank his body down. His legs, which had been gathering strength for a long time, rooted themselves firmly to the ground and suddenly pushed outward!
With the explosive combination of two forces, an incredible scene unfolded: the already cracked ground split apart like a large cake as Lufan tore it open, creating a massive crack half a foot wide!
Prince Yu was already close to Lufan and directly in front of him. He felt a lightness in his hand as the crack spread directly beneath his feet.
What a Prince Yu! Although he had never anticipated such a change, he remained calm. Aside from slightly slowing his attack, he kept his legs straight and continued to punch toward Lufan's heart!
Unfortunately, amidst this sudden turn of events, Lufan had already created an escape route for himself. Before the punch could land, he had already fallen backward like a large rat and nimbly darted into the crack to avoid this lethal blow.
Then he sprang forward again and emerged from the other side of the crack.
The observers were all stunned, completely unsure of what expression to use to convey their feelings. Many of them didn't even understand what had just happened.
From their perspective, just moments ago, Lufan was on the verge of being killed, and then suddenly he vanished from the ground. When he reappeared, he was already in a different position.
This sudden change was so bewildering that it left people dizzy; could it be that Lufan was performing some kind of magic trick?
Prince Yu initially intended to chase after him but ultimately fell a step behind. He simply stopped in place, paused for a moment, and said, "Impressive."
"You're too kind."
Lufan was slightly out of breath. Although he seemed relaxed earlier, it had actually been extremely perilous. If the timing had been off by even a fraction, the outcome would have been entirely different. If it happened again, he couldn't guarantee he would succeed.
"I now have to admit that you are qualified to fight me."
Prince Yu maintained his composure. Although he wanted to kill Lufan, he did not hide his true thoughts.
"So what now?"
"So from now on, I will treat you as a true opponent and do my utmost to kill you!"
"Should I feel honored?"
"Think what you like, but I must tell you, Martial Arts Master, it's not as simple as you imagine, and you have a fatal weakness."
Prince Yu spoke in a calm tone, his expression serene, as if he had suppressed all his anger and was merely stating an inconsequential fact.
"What weakness?"
Lufan felt a chill in his heart; the calmness of the other party made him instinctively alert.
"That is..." Before he could finish his sentence, Prince Yu suddenly appeared in front of Lufan and threw a punch, "You've learned too many mixed techniques!"
Lufan was startled, realizing that Prince Yu regarded him as a true opponent. There was no need to worry about their identities anymore, and it didn't matter if he acted now.
He used a technique to seal off the punch, but even with the Transference of Heaven and Earth ability, the powerful force still made him involuntarily retreat three steps.
Before Lufan could fully stabilize himself, a gust of wind rushed from his side; Prince Yu's attack came again.
"I can see it." After throwing a punch, Prince Yu continued, "You've received an incredible inheritance and understand many martial arts and secret techniques, but none of them are truly your own, right?"
Lufan focused intently on blocking Prince Yu's attacks, remaining silent. The opponent's speed was significantly faster than his own, putting him in a very passive position.
In the past, he had always relied on speed to bully others; he never expected that today it would be reversed.
"These martial arts and secret techniques are all extremely exquisite and powerful. They are even more impressive than my self-created Shattering Void and Breaking Jade Fist. They can be considered divine skills or secret techniques. If mastered, the path of mastery is within reach." Prince Yu said while attacking.
"However, you are too greedy to have attempted to cultivate all kinds of divine skills."
"Others would consider themselves fortunate to obtain just one, yet you foolishly aspire to master them all. How greedy!"
"Such cultivation can certainly bring you immense advantages, allowing you to easily crush opponents of the same level. The Level Jump Challenge would also be no difficulty for you. I suppose since you began your training, relying on these divine skills has made you nearly invincible?"
"But cultivating Divine Skill will inevitably lead to impure power and conflicts. I imagine your path of cultivation is fraught with great dangers at every step, isn't it? If I can disrupt the balance of the Primordial Energy within you, what do you think will happen? Will your power dissipate completely, or will you explode from within?"
Upon hearing this, Lufan's expression changed.
Seeing this, Prince Yu immediately intensified his attack, launching seven punches and three kicks in quick succession, forcing Lufan to retreat repeatedly. Finally, he seized an opening and struck Lufan on the shoulder, sending him crashing backward and spitting out blood continuously.
However, Prince Yu did not pursue the attack; instead, he remained in place, sneering repeatedly.
"Tell me, which Master in the world does not specialize in a single Divine Skill, ultimately gaining insight into their own strength, forging their own path, and creating a unique technique that allows them to ascend to Master?"
"Someone like you, who is only obsessed with the power brought by Divine Skill, neglecting personal cultivation, failing to understand oneself, and lacking discernment—do you really think you can gain insight into your own strength and ascend to Master? Dream on!"
Prince Yu did not say these words to guide Lufan. He knew that with Uncle Fu watching closely from the side, his chances of killing Lufan in his current state were slim.
He spoke this way to disturb Lufan's mind and shatter his resolve in martial arts!
His words were a mix of truth and deception, intended to confuse Lufan.
Once Lufan began to doubt his own martial path and became unsettled, the outcome would be almost predictable; he would likely be killed immediately.
The best strategy is to attack the mind!
Having been caught off guard by Lufan, which greatly damaged his spirit, Prince Yu now aimed to break his resolve as well!
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Lufan smiled.
His current situation is not very good. That punch just now nearly broke his Golden Bell Shield and Iron Cloth Shirt, but fortunately, his bones are not broken.
He doesn't care about the injury; he is already quite satisfied with how things have turned out.
However, Prince Yu's words made him chuckle a bit.
"It sounds like you have a point, but are you really mocking me for not having my own Fist Technique?"
Prince Yu remained silent. While there was some truth to that statement, it felt a bit strange in its interpretation.
"Let me put it this way: I could have left the training ground three days ago, but do you know why I delayed until today?"
Prince Yu still did not respond because he didn't know how to answer that question. Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind—could it be...
"That's right. Coincidentally, during those three days, I was developing my own Fist Technique. Unfortunately, my progress was limited; I could only come up with three moves before I hit a wall and had to leave."
The onlookers were somewhat speechless. Just moments ago, someone criticized him for lacking originality in his Fist Technique, and now he claims to have created three new moves. The contrast was striking.
As for Prince Yu's expression, it goes without saying—it was as dark as iron.
"We had an agreement for three moves three days ago, and it seems that won't count now. Since you mocked me for lacking originality in my Fist Technique, here's the question," Lufan said to Prince Yu with a teasing look:
"Are you brave enough to take on my three moves?"
