Lin Xinghai watched Cui Ming fly off the stage after his three kicks, feeling utterly unfazed. This outcome had been a foregone conclusion.
Although his physical stats hadn't improved much after breaking through to the Marrow Tempering Realm, his combat strength had soared because he could advance the Realm of his Martial Arts.
Take his Speed, for example. His current base Speed was 1,130 points. Previously, whether he used the Phantom Body Technique or the Thunderbolt Step, he could at most only double his base Speed.
But things were different now. The Phantom Body Technique was an exception; its focus wasn't on increasing Speed but on agility. So, even if Lin Xinghai raised this Body Technique to the Perfection Realm, his Speed wouldn't increase. Instead, the Martial Art would gain a new ability to create phantoms.
The Thunderbolt Step, however, was different. This footwork technique specifically increased Speed and Attack Power.
