On the empty field, Li Qing did not deliberately raise his breath and slowly walked toward the square-faced disciple.
Ten steps, nine steps, eight steps…five steps!
Surprisingly, the first to attack was not Li Qing, but the square-faced disciple. His legs slightly bounced and he took a step forward. His right arm drew a strange arc in the air and attacked Li Qing from bottom to top.
Puff!
The sound of air shattering rang out. A dark green light flashed faintly on the edge of the square-faced disciple's right hand. It was a sign that his Inner Qi was about to break through.
"Go back!"
Li Qing shouted and pressed his palm against the square-faced disciple's right hand.
Bang!
The aggressive square-faced disciple's feet left the ground and he was sent flying back to his original spot. He was forced to take more than ten steps back and almost fell down.
Cough! Spitting out a mouthful of blood, the square-faced disciple pointed at Li Qing." You, you…" He only said one word before he fainted.
Suddenly, the square was filled with noise.
Although everyone knew that the square-faced disciple was not a match for Li Qing, they did not expect the difference to be so great. Moreover, it seemed that Li Qing did not use any martial arts techniques and only used ordinary moves to meet the attack. The head outer disciple was indeed extraordinary.
Lin Qin's view was different from the others. To be honest, the difference between the eighth and tenth levels of the Forging Qi Realm was definitely not that big. Moreover, the square-faced disciple had used the high-grade Mortal Realm martial technique, the Heart Pressing Palm Technique. His attack power was almost at the threshold of the tenth level of the Forging Qi Realm. Even if he could not defeat Li Qing, he would not faint immediately.
There was another reason. If Lin Qin guessed correctly, Li Qing's cultivation method was of a higher level than the square-faced disciple's. Whether it was the quality or the volume of his Internal Qi, they were not on the same level. Besides, Li Qing had obviously cultivated his cultivation method to a higher level, so his control and application of his Internal Qi were much better than the square-faced disciple's.
Thinking of this, Lin Qin could not help but smile bitterly.
The world he lived in was called the Heaven's Will Great Land. The land was vast and no one knew how big it was. No one knew how many people lived in the Heaven's Will Great Land or how many beasts there were. There was only one thing that was certain, and that was that this world was dominated by sects and warriors. Although countries were important, they were still not as important.
On this mainland, there were two things that were extremely important to martial artists. One was martial techniques, and the other was cultivation techniques.
Compared to martial techniques, cultivation techniques were definitely several times more important.
The value of a low rank Mortal Realm martial art was definitely not inferior to a mid rank Mortal Realm martial art, and sometimes even more.
If one said that martial techniques allowed one to unleash two or even three times the combat power, then cultivation techniques were the foundation of a person. If one was powerful at all, one would have an absolute advantage.
Usually, if a warrior practiced a higher level of cultivation method, the total amount of Internal Qi would increase by 30%. That is to say, if two warriors had the same cultivation, one of them practiced a low level Human Realm cultivation method, while the other practiced a middle level Human Realm cultivation method, the total amount of Internal Qi of the latter would be more than 30% of the former. If the latter practiced a high level Human Realm cultivation method, the total amount of Internal Qi would be more than 70% of the former. If the latter practiced a top level Human Realm cultivation method, the total amount of Internal Qi would be more than 20% of the former. The huge gap was like a chasm that could not be easily crossed.
In addition to the problem of the quantity of Internal Qi, the quality of Internal Qi would also be greatly improved when the level of the martial arts was higher. For example, if the Internal Qi produced by practicing low-level martial arts was compared to a piece of wood, the Internal Qi produced by practicing high-level martial arts was like a piece of stone or even a piece of metal. How could wood compete with stone or metal? They were obviously not on the same level.
As the head outer disciple, Li Qing's cultivation method was at least at the middle level of the Human Realm, while Lin Qin's cultivation method was at the low level of the Human Realm. Even if Lin Qin's cultivation was the same as his, at the sixth level of the Forging Qi Realm, the total amount of Inner Qi would be 30% more than his. Not to mention, Lin Qin's cultivation was higher than his.
Fortunately, Lin Qin was confident that his Internal Qi quality was not inferior to Li Qing's. He had reached the peak of the Green Cloud Skill a month ago, which was one level higher than the description in the secret manual. It was roughly equivalent to the most common Middle Rank Human Realm cultivation method.
Li Qing didn't show any complacency when he defeated the square-faced disciple in one move. To him, the square-faced disciple was just a passerby. He wouldn't be excited even if he defeated him. He taught him a lesson to let others know that even if he failed to break through, he was still not someone that anyone could compare to.
Pa pa!
A young and handsome youth walked over while clapping his hands." This is too exciting. As expected of the head outer disciple. Li Qing, you are qualified to be my opponent.”
Li Qing turned his head and narrowed his eyes." Meng Haoran.”
Meng Haoran's figure and appearance were slightly immature, but his temperament was quite mature. He smiled faintly and said,""You're practicing the Advanced Mortal Realm Taiyi Skill. I wonder which level you've reached.”
"I've just reached the peak of the fourth stage.”
Lin Qin suddenly understood. No wonder Li Qing could knock out the square-faced disciple with a casual palm strike. It turned out that he cultivated the Taiyi Skill. As a high-level Mortal Realm skill, the Taiyi Skill might not be very outstanding in other aspects, but it was outstanding in one aspect. The Internal Qi cultivated by it was unusually deep, which was a level higher than other skills of the same level. In addition, the Taiyi Skill was divided into five levels. It was already quite outstanding to reach the peak of the fourth level.
Meng Haoran smiled proudly." Compared to ordinary people, you are indeed a genius. However, you are no longer my opponent.”
"Arrogant people never have a good ending." Li Qing sneered.”
"Is that so? I'm not afraid to shock you by saying this, but I'm cultivating the High Rank Mortal Realm Flying Cloud Technique, which has already reached the highest realm, Stage Five. This is the difference between us.”
As soon as he said this, the square was filled with discussions.
"This is too exaggerated. It's the hardest to improve a cultivation technique. Meng Haoran has only obtained the Flying Cloud Skill for four months, but he has already reached the fifth level.”
"That's right. The Advanced Human Realm cultivation method is usually divided into five levels. It takes at least three to four days for an ordinary person to reach the first level, ten days for the second level, one month for the third level, three months for the fourth level, and more than a year for the fifth level.”
"It seems that Meng Haoran is more talented.”
Unlike the shocked reactions of the others, Lin Qin felt that it was only natural. Geniuses were geniuses because they could not be predicted using common sense. Otherwise, they would not be geniuses. As for Li Qing, he was not bad either. After all, he was only one step away from the fifth stage of the Taiyi Skill. Perhaps he would be able to break through to the fifth stage in half a month.
Li Qing was indeed surprised. Half a year ago, he had won the first place in the Mechanical Warrior Challenge and obtained the Advanced Mortal Level Taiyi Skill. He had thought that it was already very impressive to reach the peak of the fourth stage in half a year. It should be known that it would take about five months for ordinary people to cultivate from the first stage to the fourth stage, and it would take another five months to reach the peak of the fourth stage. He had never expected Meng Haoran to be more talented than him. He had reached the highest stage of the fifth stage in just over four months.
Taking a deep breath, Li Qing said calmly,""It's useless to say more. Strength is not something that can be said with words.”
Meng Haoran grinned." That's right. That's why I'll get first place in the machine-operated warrior competition this time.”
After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving everyone with his back view.
