—------------------—
Time flowed quietly, and before he knew it, Shi Quan had spent almost five more months in the Raging Wave Forbidden Land.
Amidst the Raging Waves, Shi Quan's figure stood still, his simple, elegant long robe remaining dry despite the pounding of the Raging Wave.
The violent ocean waves seemed to part around Shi Quan, not even dampening the hem of his clothes.
In five months, Shi Quan had directly Cultivated the Heavenly Star Shift martial art to its highest Realm, and integrated various Internal Energy martial arts from his mind, creating his own Heavenly Star Shift Internal Energy method.
Unconsciously, Shi Quan had almost spent a year on Sea God Island.
Calculating the time, there was about one month left until the next Soul Spirit Assembly.
Time was still ample.
After leaving Sea God Island this time, Shi Quan would not return to Sea God Island for a short period.
Shi Quan had other arrangements planned for later.
His previous return to Sea God Island was because he could still Cultivate in the Raging Wave Forbidden Land.
Now that the Raging Wave Forbidden Land was useless to him, there was naturally no need to stay on Sea God Island.
However, before leaving Sea God Island, adhering to the principle of making the most of everything, Shi Quan wanted to see what level his strength had reached.
Leaving the Raging Wave Forbidden Land, Shi Quan's figure streaked across the sky like a meteor, and soon he arrived at the familiar Middle Sea outside the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar.
Sea Horse Douluo sat quietly beneath the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar. Perhaps sensing the arrival of Shi Quan and Gu Yuena, Sea Horse Douluo slowly opened his eyes.
"Is something the matter?" Sea Horse Douluo looked up at Shi Quan.
"Junior is preparing to leave Sea God Island. Before leaving, I specifically came here to ask for Senior's guidance," Shi Quan cupped his fists and performed a simple bow.
Sea Horse Douluo stood up upon hearing this, "Your strength shouldn't have reached Titled Douluo, right?"
Shi Quan nodded and said, "Junior's spirit power is currently only at eighty-sixth rank."
"Eighty-sixth?" Sea Horse Douluo looked deeply at Shi Quan, "A Spirit Douluo challenging a Titled Douluo beyond their Realm, I admire your courage. Since that's the case, let me witness your methods and see what gives you such confidence."
"Senior, please be careful." Shi Quan leaped up, his Internal Energy circulating, and the Nine Shadows Shift emerged. His figure instantly transformed into six illusions, charging towards Sea Horse Douluo.
"Self-created Spirit Ability?"
For a moment, he couldn't clearly discern Shi Quan's exact position among these several illusions. Sea Horse Douluo tapped his toe backward, his body retreating, and simultaneously released his Martial Spirit. In an instant, he was covered in a layer of strange grayish-white armor, and a gigantic Sea Horse illusion, extremely similar to the statue at the top of the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar, appeared behind him. Two yellow, two purple, and five black spirit rings simultaneously lit up.
Just as Shi Quan's illusions struck, Sea Horse Douluo's seventh spirit ring lit up, and his body instantly merged with the white bone armor on him, transforming into a gigantic Sea Horse over three meters long.
Sea Horse Douluo flicked his tail, and a powerful energy fluctuation instantly shattered five of the illusions.
The Protective Aura and energy inherent in the Nine Shadows Shift immediately caused a violent impact, and Shi Quan's true body also paused as a result.
"Challenging beyond your Realm, and you still haven't released your Martial Spirit. I don't know if you're confident or overconfident!"
Locking onto Shi Quan's figure, Sea Horse Douluo took a step forward and threw a simple, unadorned punch directly at Shi Quan.
A series of explosive sounds rang out in the air. The air seemed to be under immense pressure, and within the Sea Middle Sea behind Shi Quan, a giant wave surged into the sky, condensing into a massive fist shape. It struck directly at Shi Quan's back, forming a pincer attack with Sea Horse Douluo's punch.
Facing the pincer attack, Shi Quan remained completely unperturbed. He slightly squatted his legs and slowly raised his hands.
Tai Chi Fist!
Heavenly Star Shift itself utilizes the principles of Tai Chi Yin and Yang, allowing the user to shift and deflect the enemy's Moves and force. Through five months of Cultivation, Shi Quan had gained a deeper understanding and application of various fist and palm techniques.
Shi Quan's hands moved back and forth, with a balance of tension and relaxation. Sea Horse Douluo immediately felt a powerful and strange suction force suddenly erupt from Shi Quan's body. Although he had locked onto Shi Quan, the force of his two punches was forcibly shifted by this power.
Amidst a thunderous roar, Shi Quan's figure remained motionless, but the giant wave fist that had surged into the sky violently collided with Sea Horse Douluo himself.
Sea Horse Douluo's figure was sent flying backward. He was clearly astonished, not understanding what had happened. Shi Quan's two simple movements seemed to contain some special power.
The target of this attack was clearly Shi Quan, but as it approached, a strange force not only severed his control but also transferred the attack to himself.
What kind of special method was this, that could not only neutralize an enemy's attack but also turn it into one's own?
While he was still surprised, Shi Quan's figure once again transformed into several illusions and attacked.
The sixth spirit ring beneath Sea Horse Douluo suddenly lit up, and a layer of ripples spread out, like a shield covering Sea Horse Douluo's entire body.
"Nine-Level Collapsing Fist!"
Shi Quan arrived in an instant, his six illusions condensing into one. The Internal Energy within his body surged out like a mighty river, and he unleashed a punch.
Sea Horse Douluo initially paid no mind, as the defense of his sixth Spirit Ability under his Martial Spirit True Body was his strongest defensive Spirit Ability. However, his expression quickly changed.
The power within Shi Quan's punch reached an extremely terrifying level, giving him a feeling as if he had been slapped by the tail of Xiao Bai, the Devil Spirit Great White Shark King.
Not only that, but within Shi Quan's punch, there were actually several different forces contained: some fierce and rigid, some soft and yielding, some rigid with softness, some soft with rigidity, some horizontal, some direct, some retracting.
He could block the immense power, and he blocked the first surge of force, then the second, but he simply couldn't cope with the subsequent ones in time.
After a painful grunt, Sea Horse Douluo was directly sent flying by Shi Quan's punch, crashing heavily into the Circular Sea.
In the Raging Wave Forbidden Land, when Shi Quan trained his strength, he dealt with giant waves exceeding a hundred meters every day. He had also diligently studied various boxing and palm Secret Manuals from the Nine Yin and Nine Yang Scriptures.
His punch combined the Seven Injuries Fist and the Great Vajra Fist, making it exceptionally powerful, and coupled with its masculine, fierce force, it could be said to be specifically created for breaking defenses.
The power of this punch was comparable to a ten-thousand-year Spirit Ability.
Even without using his Martial Spirit, Shi Quan's martial arts Cultivation Technique, each one comparable to a Spirit Ability, was used more covertly without the display of spirit rings. Coupled with his year and a half of arduous Cultivation in the Raging Wave Forbidden Land,
Not only did his martial arts attainments greatly improve, but combined with his powerful Physical Body, the current Shi Quan was completely a humanoid Vicious Beast!
