159 Han Tianyu’s Wrath! (1/2)

Jiang Fei was tortured mercilessly by Han Tianyu. As they were in the game and Han Tianyu was barehanded, coupled with Jiang Fei's rather solid defense, not much harm was done. Every so often, he simply needed to chug down a Health Potion.

When they started, players of The Aristocrats occasionally ran up to entertain themselves with the sight of Jiang Fei getting manhandled like a crash test dummy. Were these tycoons too bored of the game, or what?!

Ten hours later, as Jiang Fei staggered from yet another blow, the players glanced it off like it was nothing. They had quickly grown accustomed to the sight.

The current Jiang Fei had already squeezed his eyes shut. They were completely useless to him when it came to trying to read Han Tianyu's punches.

After ten hours of training, Jiang Fei's progress was visibly significant. Although he still could not accurately predict Han Tianyu's attacks, he would flinch whenever Han Tianyu's attacks closed in. It was as if he could already tell if danger was approaching!

”That's interesting! You have pretty good senses!”

Han Tianyu laughed.

”Then, when can I start blocking or avoiding your attacks?” Jiang Fei asked.

”I can't tell for sure. Well, if you are beaten up by me for ten hours a day, you would be able to roughly predict the direction of the attacks in about half a month. However, blocking it would be a matter of your reflexes. Something that can't be practiced in-game!” Han Tianyu said.

”Just what kind of grandmaster are you?”

This question had been hanging on the tip of Jiang Fei's tongue. He had considered Chen Xi to be tremendously strong, for lack of a better word. After all, if the Japanese ninja had ambushed him at Chen Xi's speed, Jiang Fei might have been dead before even reaching for his potion! However, now that he had seen Han Tianyu's skills, Jiang Fei finally understood the meaning of true power!

”Right! I can explain that to you. Martial artist grades are split into three types and four levels…” Han Tianyu explained while continuing to attack Jiang Fei. His combat prowess was not diminished by his coherent speaking by the least.

According to Han Tianyu, martial artists were categorized into three types: Skill Attack Method, External Toughness and Inner Qi. They were not hard categories. A martial artist could learn a single type. They could also learn all three types simultaneously. However, a person's mental energy was limited. Very few could train in all three at the same time!

In simple terms, Skill Attack Method was a technique. Many people practiced it, including those who trained External Toughness. Only very few who focused mainly on Inner Qi would not train in it. According to Han Tianyu, powerful martial artists like Chen Xi with a military background had only just made the cut in the Skill Attack Method. After all, martial arts classes in the military was open to everyone, regardless of their talents. However, a true martial artist trained one-to-one with his master. In fact, a master would be very picky when it came to the disciple's talents. No master would take in hundreds or thousands of disciples!

External Toughness training was more complicated. It also required some natural talent. Not everyone made the cut. It was said that when one truly mastered it, neither guns nor swords could pierce through the person. Breaking apart rocks or boulders would be a piece of cake. Some people could even catch a bullet with only two fingers! When Jiang Fei had ignored Mao Tian's blade with the help of the defensive potion, the mysterious old man had misinterpreted Jiang Fei as a trained martial artist!

The natural talent required for training the Inner Qi was even greater. Many strong Inner Qi masters on their deathbeds had been unable to find a disciple who could inherit their legacies. One could tell how stringent the requirement was from that alone! According to Han Tianyu, a true expert in Inner Qi could not really fly or dig through the ground. However, with the help of the Qi in their body, they could easily climb up houses as if they were walking on flat land. They could even reach through a person's ribcage and grope about said person's inner organs. A truly capable expert could even hurt a person without ever touching him!

”Brother Yu, have you been reading heroic novels?”

Jiang Fei rolled his eyes after listening. This was way too surreal. He could still accept abilities like being bullet or swordproof. But right now, you're talking about bloody Qi. Hurting someone without even touching them. Isn't that a little too far-fetched?

”Hehe, looks like you'll have to see it to believe it!”
