624: Chapter 620 Attentive Guidance 624: Chapter 620 Attentive Guidance On the surface, the forces emitted by both were almost similar, and neither moved their feet when gauging their stamina, showing they were evenly matched!
However, that was merely a superficial phenomenon.
For Ye Tian, who possessed clairvoyant ability, he could clearly see the flow of True Qi within the bodies of both competitors.
Since Ye Xuong was stronger, he did not use the ominous black power during his fight with Andrew, but merely relied on the power of his Dantian to compete with Andrew.
The force used by Andrew was likewise cultivated from his Dantian…
But Ye Xuong’s method of applying force was incredibly clever; his breathing was even, his circulation of Qi controlled and flexible, capable of continuously generating power without causing any harm to his body.
However, the flow of Andrew’s internal force differed from Ye Xuong’s.
Perhaps too eager to prove himself in front of Ye Xuong, Andrew initially used his force too hastily and gradually slowed down as the Dantian power couldn’t keep up.
Therefore, for Andrew to compete with Ye Xuong, the flow of his Qi stuttered and faltered.
Even if he appeared to match Ye Xuong on the surface, in reality, he was beginning to falter.
“Smack!”
After a standoff, Ye Xuong and Andrew separated.
At first glance, there was no clear winner, but Ye Xuong’s breathing remained even.
The recent entanglement with Andrew had not affected him at all.
On the other hand, Andrew was panting heavily, his face covered with beads of sweat…
The other Martial Artists noticed Andrew’s distress, which meant he had fallen behind in this competition.
However, Ye Tian had noticed right from the start that Andrew was inferior to Ye Xuong.
Of course, Andrew was not willing to admit defeat just yet.
Although he knew there was a gap in strength between him and Ye Xuong, he would not back down.
Thus, after striving to even his own breathing, Andrew once again caught up with a gallop and launched a heavy punch towards Ye Xuong.
“Take this!”
Ye Xuong remained calm, countering each move as it came.
This time, the two did not remain locked together but instead used their techniques to engage in a tussle.
The brilliance of Andrew’s boxing technique lay in his control over the “light,” “heavy,” “slow,” and “quick” aspects, somewhat resembling the ancient Chinese Kong Ming Fist, which Andrew was especially adept at.
Ye Xuong’s boxing technique, however, was aggressively overpowering, each movement demonstrating fierce power!
Both fighters excelled in their boxing styles, making it difficult to determine a clear winner!
“Swoosh!”
Andrew’s punch landed directly on Ye Xuong’s abdomen, but Ye Xuong, unafraid, used his force to resist and did not dodge.
This was Ye Xuong’s “Hard Qigong” in his boxing technique, which could make his abdomen as hard as iron, impervious to swords and spears.
“Clang!”
Andrew’s fist hit Ye Xuong’s abdomen, making a sound like a metal strike.
Despite using seventy percent of his force, Andrew couldn’t budge Ye Xuong at all.
Thus, Andrew quickly withdrew his technique.
His fists were agile, and seeing that the momentum was wrong, he immediately retracted his force, preparing for a second attack.
Withdrawing his move and launching another, perhaps no one in the world could match Andrew’s speed.
Thus his left fist had just retracted when his right fist lunged straight for Ye Xuong’s chest.
Even if Ye Xuong could use Hard Qigong to defend, his continuous defense of his abdomen had left his chest vulnerable…
This time, Ye Xuong could not but evade, facing Andrew’s fierce punch, Andrew deftly sidestepped…
“Huh?”
Andrew was somewhat surprised.
Normally, a Martial Artist using Hard Qigong would be stiff for a while and unable to move flexibly.
But Ye Xuong’s movements were unusually agile; who would have thought that just a moment before, he had used Hard Qigong?
While Andrew hesitated, Ye Xuong struck out with his palm, directly slashing towards Andrew’s outstretched right fist.
Though Andrew could withdraw his moves very quickly, the force returned quickly, the punched fist did not return as swiftly.
Ye Xuong’s palm strike hit Andrew’s right wrist directly, making Andrew feel as if his bones were nearly shattered, showcasing how fierce Ye Xuong’s Palm Force was!
“Damn!”
Andrew clenched his teeth fiercely.
Although Ye Xuong’s attack wasn’t enough to fracture his right hand, his entire right arm was numbed by the attack, making it difficult to muster an attack for a while.
This meant that in this competition, Ye Xuong had moved from an even position to an advantageous one…
However, no victory had been declared yet, and so all the Martial Artists couldn’t make rash judgments.
Everyone could only watch eagerly whether Ye Xuong would maintain his advantage to win, or Andrew would make a desperate counterattack and beat Ye Xuong.
And Ye Tian knew already that Ye Xuong would ultimately win!
From the start of their contest, Ye Tian had used his clairvoyant ability to observe the flow of True Qi within them.
No matter when, Ye Xuong’s Dantian energy remained incredibly stable, showing no signs of panic, so even if his punches lacked Andrew’s speed, they were handled with ease!
On the contrary, Andrew’s flow of inner energy was abnormally rapid and precisely because of this, sometimes some channels even experienced reverse Qi flow, a major taboo for a Martial Artist.
Andrew solely pursued the speed of exerting and retracting his strength, but he didn’t regulate his breathing at all, resulting in a blockage and increasing chaos of his internal breath.
It showed in his fight with Ye Xuong, where sometimes he couldn’t connect his strength, thus being at a total disadvantage during the fight!
“Coming again?”
Ye Xuong asked Andrew, but Andrew wasn’t quite convinced.
“Of course I’ll continue!
Ye Xuong, I refuse to believe I can’t beat you!”
Andrew was truly a spirited man; he would never allow himself to keep losing miserably to Ye Xuong!
“All right.
Come at me then!”
Since Andrew wanted to fight, Ye Xuong naturally would not give up the chance to duel, taking advantage of his position.
He got ready, preparing to face Andrew’s next attack.
Andrew didn’t hesitate either.
Once the numbness in his right hand had subsided, he immediately lunged at Ye Xuong!
“Stop!”
Someone shouted.
The voice was soft, but because it was so firm, all the Martial Artists could hear it.
—This voice was from Ye Tian!
Although Ye Xuong and Andrew wanted to keep fighting, an order from Ye Tian, the boss of the Night King Hall, couldn’t be ignored.
Thus, Ye Xuong and Andrew both stopped and looked as Ye Tian approached step by step.
Ye Tian came up to Andrew and said softly, “Andrew, you are a pillar of talent for the Night King Hall, and you shouldn’t harm yourself by acting rashly.
It wouldn’t be good for the whole Night King Hall.”
Although Ye Tian did not explicitly say that Andrew’s strength was inferior to Ye Xuong’s, everyone present understood.
The reason why Ye Tian stopped the fight between Ye Xuong and Andrew was that if they continued, Andrew was likely to get injured, which would be a loss for the Night King Hall.
“Boss, I…”
Andrew felt ashamed, realizing that Ye Tian’s intervention was to protect him.
“No talking!”
Ye Tian said coldly, then placed his palm on Andrew’s chest.
Andrew felt a warm Palm Force enter his body.
The minor internal injuries he had sustained while fighting with Ye Xuong began to heal slowly under the influence of Ye Tian’s Palm Force.
All the Martial Artists watched Ye Tian heal Andrew, filled with envy, and many cast jealous glances.
With Ye Tian’s skill, anyone he healed would recover completely!
Since Andrew’s internal injury was just caused by poor blood and breath circulation, it didn’t take much time to fully heal.
Ye Tian spent five whole minutes transferring True Qi to heal Andrew.
After five minutes, Andrew’s complexion turned much rosier, as if he had never fought Ye Xuong at all!
“Did you remember it?”
After finishing healing Andrew, Ye Tian withdrew his hand and asked softly.
Andrew immediately knelt in front of Ye Tian, overwhelmed by the actions of his boss!
“Boss, thank you for enlightening me.
From now on, I will never act recklessly again!”
It turned out that while Ye Tian was healing Andrew, he was also gradually accustoming Andrew’s body to the correct way of circulating True Qi.
With the technique Ye Tian taught, Andrew could control his strength freely during fights, and he would never face the issue of being unable to access his strength again!
Therefore, Andrew was so grateful to Ye Tian!
“Boss, I understand your painstaking efforts!
The essence of my boxing is ‘change.’ I kept working on changes during the fight, but to truly utilize my boxing, I need to work on ‘unchanging.'”
Only when the strength inside my body is as stable as a rock can I control it freely during a fight, which is the key to contending with Ye Xuong!”
With Ye Tian’s guidance, it didn’t take long for Andrew to recognize his shortcomings.
Currently, Andrew was no match for Ye Xuong, but if he diligently practiced the method taught by Ye Tian, given time, he might be able to defeat Ye Xuong!
“Ye Xuong, let’s call a truce for now!
I’ll diligently practice the technique our boss taught me, and once I have mastered it, let’s have a real fight!”
Saying this, Andrew left.
“…”
Ye Xuong just stood silently, aware that after receiving Ye Tian’s guidance, Andrew’s strength would become much stronger.
He might even surpass him!
Previously, Ye Tian had also taught him how to circulate breath, and it was entirely due to Ye Tian’s guidance that Ye Xuong’s martial skills had improved so much.
Watching Andrew possibly catch up to or even surpass him didn’t make Ye Xuong feel bad; instead, he smiled slightly.
After all, everyone was a part of the Night King Hall, fighting for their boss, Ye Tian.
So what did it matter who was stronger or weaker?
