“Really?” Xu lingchong sized him up from the corner of her eyes, her expression still suspicious.
“It’s absolutely true!” “Yes!” Ma Jian nodded heavily,”if I didn’t use too much force, I wouldn’t have been caught off guard and got hit by Lin Yi’s pure energy!”
“What? True energy rebound? That Lin Yi kid is capable of this?” Xu lingchong and Meng jueguang looked at each other in surprise.
Both of them were smart. From Ma Jian’s expression, they could basically tell that this guy wasn’t lying. They faintly felt that he had grasped the key point.
“True energy rebound? Brother Liu, are you saying that this Lin Yi kid has some sort of defensive martial skill?” Meng jueguang hurriedly asked.
“It should be. Otherwise, there’s no way to explain how the true energy in this kid’s body could reflect back to me. I just don’t know what kind of defensive martial skill it is.” Ma Jian nodded.
He’d been thinking about this ever since he’d finished Lin Yi’s test, and after thinking about it, he came to the conclusion that it was a defensive skill-there was no other explanation for it.
One had to know that other than those who specialized in defensive martial arts, normal practitioners could at most use their Qi to block some of the damage. The only difference was how much damage they could block. As for Lin Yi’s use of Qi to counter-shock, it was unheard of.
What he didn’t know was that this was just an idea Lin Yi came up with to counter his attack-an attack-type defense, it was a stroke of luck.
Under normal circumstances, even if an ordinary person wanted to strengthen their defense, they would definitely choose to cultivate a certain defensive martial technique. This was the most Orthodox and effective choice.
If one was in a state of imminent battle and did not have the opportunity to make last-minute preparations, then under the situation where one knew that one’s defense was not good, a normal person’s focus would be on finding a way to avoid the other party’s attack. They would not stupidly stay in the same place and let the other party attack them. Even if they could not avoid it, they would definitely find a way to use the attack to offset the other party’s attack. They would not take out their brain to think of some wonderful idea of using zhenqi to make an offensive defense.
The so-called use of the body’s true energy to make an offensive defense was completely a strange product born under special circumstances like the resistance test.
This was because the rules of the assessment stated that when faced with the examiner’s attacks, the newbies could neither Dodge nor counterattack. They could only stand there and let the examiner hit them. As a result, the rookies only had one choice. Those who had defensive martial arts techniques quickly used them, and if they didn ‘t, they could only rely on their true energy to withstand it.
However, Lin Yi wasn’t the type of person who would just let himself be beaten up. Even in a test like this, he’d still fight back within the rules. Because from a certain perspective, offense was the best defense.
That was why he had thought of using the true Qi in his body to counterattack the moment the examiner attacked him.
However, if he was still a Sky Class full master, it would be useless even if he thought of this idea-Sky Class full Masters could only release their Qi through their palms, and if he did that, it would be against the rules.
The point was that Lin Yi wasn’t a Sky Class full master anymore-he was a Foundation peak early phase, hiding his strength in front of everyone!
In fact, when he first entered the foundational stage, he realized that there was a huge difference in the way he released his Qi-it wasn’t just through the palm of his hand, it could also be released from all the acupuncture points in his body!
In most cases, this was not very useful, because even if one could release zhenqi directly from the acupoints of the whole body, it would still be zhenqi and could not achieve the powerful effect of martial arts techniques.
In other words, if Lin Yi wanted to use the wild fire Bagua Palm’s effect, he would have to use both hands. It was impossible to use the acupuncture points all over the body. On the other hand, if it was just the external release of true energy, it could be used to intimidate some small fries, but it was difficult to pose a threat to experts of the same level, so it was not practical.
However, the fact that Qi could be released from the body’s acupuncture points in the resistance test, combined with Lin Yi’s godly idea of attacking and defending, produced an unbelievable effect.
When the examiner’s 130% strength hit Lin Yi’s chest, the first thing that hit him was the strong Qi that came from Lin Yi’s chest!
And because of the Jade space, Lin Yi didn’t have to worry about running out of Qi-he could use all his Qi to fight back without any worry.
This way, the examiner’s 130% power was partially offset before it even hit Lin Yi, and when it finally hit Lin Yi’s chest, there was less than 100% of its power left.
Lin Yi was a true-blue peak of the early Foundation Stage, and taking a full-powered attack from someone of the same level as him wouldn’t kill him no matter how serious the injury was.
With the art of Dragon mastery and the pure Qi in the space of the Jade, healing this injury was a piece of cake. That was why he was able to take on a palm strike with 130% of the power of the peak of the early Foundation establishment stage without any change in expression and recover in a short time!
However, lingchong and the others didn’t know that Lin Yi had so many trump cards up his sleeves, and they couldn’t figure out the details. From their perspective, there was only one explanation-Lin Yi had trained in some sort of defense-type martial skill.
“I estimate that my 130% power palm strike just now was at least offset by more than 90% by this kid’s defensive martial skill. In other words, the real damage on his body was actually less than 40%, which is why he was so lightly injured!” Ma Jian speculated.
Meng jueguang nodded in agreement. “That’s right. He’s an early Foundation establishment expert like Meng Tong. In theory, the two of them shouldn’t have much difference in their endurance. Meng Tong only took 70% of the attack, and he even took a level four recover pill, but he’s still half dead. If it was Lin Yi, he’d be in the same state, so the only reasonable explanation is that the defensive skill he used just now was very powerful, enough to offset most of the damage from brother Ma’s attack. That’s the only explanation. ”
“In that case, this kid really has hidden his strength?” Xu lingchong frowned as he looked at Meng jueguang and Ma Jian.
