Chapter 563: What he is (2/2)
[Is it my muscles? No, I already faked multiple times over and nothing worked, then what is it? There is no more signs of where I will att—]
Wang Ling threw another strike using his fists—
Lixus raised his left arm—
BOOM!
It arrived from the right, like a shadow.
”Huh?” Lixus couldn't believe that Wang Ling actually made contact.
Wang Ling didn't show him any emotion, ”Following my flow of qi, how cheeky.”
BAM!
A kick from below to the chin.
”My turn.”
Wang Ling turned the situation around in one exchange. He figured that the only way that Lixus could track him down was through something he did not know.
Time manipulation was out of the question for even he and Bai Xue could do no such thing. However, reading the flow of qi to the point it before it got sent out through attack was something Wang Ling just realized.
Now, Wang Ling, without using any qi punished him with a flurry of blows. His punches no longer relied on qi, it was far weaker than it was before, but it didn't feel wrong
He didn't lose any speed, he only improved.
When Wang Ling no longer had to mind his qi circulation, he got used to the body he now possessed. With every strike, he could feel ever fiber of his being following him.
[Qi was nothing more than a hindrance.]
He realized as he moves faster and faster. The gaps in his movements became sharper. Inhumane dexterity, speed, power, all of it were already present without modification…
It felt liberating to not be chained down by anything.
[In the span of less than a month, I ascended as one of the two Godly figures that created all life. I wasn't even trying then… now, I need more. And I'm going to squeeze every bit of possible improvement I can.] Wang Ling knew of his unnatural state.
A Mortal like him, he needed to clash with others, and so, he did.
Wang Ling calculated everything. Exchange after exchange, there appeared, a change in the flow of things. Wang Ling was quickly adapting, faster, than he could ever hope for. He was abandoned circulating qi.
Getting used to using his body.
Beginning to think, not as a Mortal Cultivator, but as a Supreme Being.
[I have no need to circulate my qi.]
Instead, he focused on himself.
”AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH! DON'T YOU DARE LOOK DOWN UPON ME!” Lixus exploded, and with all that he had threw a punch.
”Useless.” Wang Ling whispered.
Wang Ling touched wrists with Lixus with his left hand. He redirected its force on the side, his cheeks were grazed, but no drop of blood was drawn. His hands glowed but no qi was drawn. Only his instincts remained…
Wang Ling allowed it to take over and, in that instant, when Wang Ling let go of useless things, did he caught a glimpse of what he could be.
Primordial Winds parted a path.
Tribulation Lightning enchanted his muscle's reaction and destructive power.
True Earth gave Wang Ling steady footing in the empty void they were fighting in.
”Fist of Eradication.”
BOOM!
Even if Lixus didn't want to tank the powerful blow, it was all too late to even try and dodge. Thunder echoed as a fist landed on the pit of his stomach and he fell on his knees right before Wang Ling.
Vomiting blood and other liquids from his body, Lixus felt excruciating pain.
Wang Ling, figured something out. He needed no time to circulate his qi, nor did he need it to summon anything.
Only now did he realize that, ”I have become Qi itself.”
