204 As it turns ou (2/2)

It was almost as if the heavens had listened to his prayers!

Moreover, it was rather obvious that this man didn't seem to recognize the Solitary Eagle!

The initially frustrated master was left thanking his stars!

Therefore, the Solitary Eagle naturally decided against rashly exposing his true identity for the fear that this man may kneel down to his knees screaming 'Master!', which would obviously be detrimental to his personal agenda!

Hence, he withheld this key information since he wanted to fight this man.

[This person clearly seems to be a disciple of the Blue Master, and since he's already reached the peak of the Sky Xuan realm, it could be presumed that he's one of the best disciples Meng Hong Chen has ever trained. If I can have a good and hearty battle with this man, then I believe that I'll be able to find the inspiration I've been seeking all along. ]

Therefore, he deliberately decided to suppress his real strength even though the opposition was fighting in full swing, and soon the two of them had exchanged at least a dozen blows.

At this moment, an uninvited guest arrived at the scene!

This uninvited guest was obviously the young master Jun!

Although the young master Jun was an expert beyond match when it came to tracking people, but he had been wracking his brain to no avail initially since the Solitary Eagle was no ordinary man either. However, it really didn't take his expertise to locate the Solitary Eagle in the end since it wasn't awfully difficult to spot a sky full of drifting red leaves.

The young master Jun quickly concealed himself nearby, and started gazing at the Solitary Eagle as if the man was bullying a young child. However, Jun Mo Xie's simply couldn't help but admire the man's dedication: [even though he is one of the 'Eight Great Masters', he really isn't worried about taking the rogue road ah…. ]

As he continued to watch the Solitary Eagle's fight with this blue-robed man, he suddenly realized something really strange.

Even though the Solitary Eagle seemed to doing his utmost, he still seemed a bit overwhelmed. However, as Jun Mo Xie continued to watch the fight, he started to realize that the Solitary Eagle was repeating the same strokes again and again in a loop, and wasn't making any attempts to use any variations at all.

On the other hand, the man in blue was using a plethora of skills and styles, and was basically going all-out.

It seemed to him as if this Great Master was actually just using this blue-robed man as a dummy for his personal practice!

The Solitary Eagle's body didn't seem to be moving much; in fact his legs were completely immobile. His hands on the other hand were moving in weird manners; he'd sometimes extend his arms wide, sometimes he'd stretch them forward… he was opening and closing his palms in very weird styles as well…..

Jun Mo Xie continued to watch for a long time, and a strange sense that something was amiss kept growing stronger and stronger in heart.

Suddenly a thought emerged inside his brain: [this is clearly the Solitary Eagle's homemade style! And this style has been inspired by the body of an Eagle or a Goshawk! This is a bit too obvious; but what's even more obvious is that even though he has created this technique, he hasn't yet perfected its system! ]

He could tell from the manner in which these strokes were designed, that each stroke of this style had a dedicated line of power in support, and even though these moves seemed very strange at first, but once perfected could produce a tremendous amount of power.

Jun Mo Xie silently counted thrice, and was finally able to determine that the style contained a total of seventeen strokes! The Solitary Eagle was using the entire style in a single sequence; hence it wasn't very hard for him to determine the total count of moves in the style.

[Although this style was capable of producing a large amount of power, but it seems that he has his heart set on not killing his opponent, which is why he is deliberately suppressing his strength to adjust his output to a mediocre level, but in case he was using this style to contest against a man of equal strength, he wouldn't be able to keep up. However, coping up with someone much weaker than himself is much easier for him since even if the opponent occasionally tears a hole in his style, he can easily make up for the loss. ]

Moreover, the hitman could tell form his experience that in case the Solitary Eagle employed his complete strength in using this style, he could easily produce a much more powerful strike! But the Solitary Eagle wasn't doing it on purpose! Even though he was using his true strength to defend himself, he didn't seem to be using it to attack!

Jun Mo Xie suddenly realized why the Solitary Eagle wasn't interested in the Xuan Core, but had still come all the way to the Tian Xiang City; why the Solitary Eagle was so eager to fight, but still wasn't interested in fighting an expert of equal ability!

[This is the reason behind all of it! Ha ha, why didn't I see it earlier?….. ]

As he continued to watch the style which the Solitary Eagle was developing, he couldn't help feeling a bit nervous. Each move and action of the Solitary Eagle's style seemed strange, but vaguely familiar.

[Jerky….. too raw! It can be said that these moves can be turned into something very powerful, but at the moment these moves can only be best described as the 'seventeen lose' strokes! It lacks polishing, and cannot yet be called a proper martial style, but it's already good enough to be brought into a prototype stage! ]

[The Solitary Eagle's moves seem very similar to the actions of an Eagle! The Wingspan stroke, the Soaring Eagle stroke, The Charging Eagle Stroke, the Rabbit-fighting Stroke... and these I will work upon! And after a very systematic study, once I'm done tampering with all his strokes, I'll make them far more powerful! Ha ha ha... ]
