Chapter 479 Bottleneck

Li An dared not remain inside the pyramid any longer.If he continued to absorb energy like this, Lin Ruyu might be drained dry.He left the altar and reached the entrance, where a boundless sea of ​​stars lay before him.The surroundings were silent, the stars twinkling in the sky. Li An's heart felt an unprecedented peace.He recalled Liu Dahu's stunned, shocked face, as if he had seen something incredible in him.Now.He seemed to know what it was.Just now, he had absorbed only a small amount of the Source of Dao, but a profound transformation had occurred within him.His body had turned significantly paler, like a baby's skin. Pulling out the Star Observatory's front-facing camera to take a picture, Li An stared at himself on the screen, a look of deep thought on his face.What kind of feeling was this?Ethereal!Yes, that was the word.Li An felt as if he had become lighter, increasingly ethereal.The surrounding world became clearer in his eyes.Fast, slow, gathering, merging, it all seemed to happen at the touch of a thought. But this feeling was very faint, just like his Dao Fruit, which was now elusive.If he could absorb more Dao Source Qi, the implicit power within the Dao Fruit would gradually blossom.His perception of all things would become even stronger.He raised his hand slightly and whispered, "Gather."A ray of starlight converged at his fingertips, emitting a magnificent light.This was something he could perceive and control.But at the same time, there were things he couldn't perceive or control.For example, the earth of this pyramid's walls.And only the earth!He could sense the array patterns on the wall, but not the earth.Li An had discovered the reason.The faint green light emanating from the array patterns was the Law.The Law, and the light from his fingertips, were all living things.The earth of the walls was not; it was inanimate.But not all earth of the walls was inanimate.Li An flew towards a meteorite. Then he raised his palm and pointed it at the boulder before him. His eyes focused, and he bent his fingers with force."Crack, crack, crack..."Debris flew from the surface of the meteorite, as if being grasped by a pair of massive hands.But that was all.Li An took two deep breaths.Even this tiny amount of damage had already left him feeling slightly exhausted.Although absorbing more of the Source Qi of the Dao would increase this power,Li An still gave this unknown force a very poor evaluation."It's nothing."He curled his lips, then casually gathered his martial energy and flicked his finger at the meteorite.The martial energy, like an arrow from a bow, pierced the massive meteorite."Boom!"The flames of battle shook.The meteorite exploded!Li An's face remained expressionless.This attack hadn't even cost him anything, no different from a normal attack.Comparing it to the previous grasp.Confirmed.It truly was nothing. For me, Li An, everything except his fists is trivial.But now.Li An also feels that his boxing has reached a new bottleneck.No predecessors to guide the way.No fellow practitioners to share moves and experiences.On this great road of boxing, Li An is alone, all alone.Every step he takes is a bottleneck.But at the same time, every breakthrough in this bottleneck elevates Li An's boxing skills a little higher.This is not Li An boasting.Forget realms, let alone martial spirit.Just fists, pure and simple.He is the ultimate in all boxing!Even his former mentor, Zhang Sanfeng, could not match Li An's accomplishments in boxing.Perfectly mastered the four basic techniques of Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain.Oscillation.Flowing Fire Sword Star Fist.Flowing Water Collapsing Mountain Fist.Externalizing his own strength.Unconsciously accumulating power. Each and every move, each form, was something others might not even master in their lifetimes.Li An not only knew it, but had mastered it, able to freely arrange and combine the aforementioned moves.Oscillate, then converge, converge, then oscillate again.The residual force released by the fluid force could be stored in unconsciously charged runes.But even so, he still felt it was not enough.He wanted to go further, further, until future generations could no longer even see his back.Until he reached the same height as the sky!Lately, Li An has been researching a completely new boxing style.Swordsmanship includes sword formations.Gathering countless sword intentions, they transform into a vast, fusion technique, slashing through the heavens and earth in an instant, just like the move Bai Jianxin had used against him in the stage competition over a year ago.The Sun and Moon Sword Seal formation fragmented into several sword shadows, swinging in sync with his swords. In a flash, with lightning speed, he unleashed dozens of powerful and devastating sword strikes, strangling those caught in the formation. Does boxing involve formations?Overwhelming fist shadows?No, that's too crude and doesn't fit the nature of boxing.He has a formation master by his side, Liu Dahu.Over the past two days, while protecting Lin Ruyu, he'd used the Star Platform to humbly seek advice from Brother Hu, observing countless forms of formations.Is any of these suitable for boxing?Finally, Li An found an exciting answer.Let countless fist intentions vibrate at different locations within a certain space, generating resonance and compounding the vibrations!Ultimately, detonating the entire world.Detonating everything!The most challenging part of this is how to retain the vibrations.Once the vibrations leave the body, they become a one-time force, exploding with a loud bang.He now wants this martial intention to vibrate and explode repeatedly.To turn this concept into reality, he needs to learn advanced martial intention techniques.Control the intention!Just like a sword cultivator's control of the sword. They could manipulate hundreds of sword energy streams through the sky, attacking back and forth.Li An could do the same.He raised his hand in the starry sky, gathering several fist energy streams.Fist energy crisscrossed the heavens and earth, up and down, left and right, manipulating dozens of them simultaneously without a problem.But the problem was, these fist energy streams couldn't vibrate!The lethality of sword energy comes from its concentration before leaving the body.The lethality of martial energy comes from its concentration before leaving the body, forming a sharp sword energy.But the vibration of fist energy occurs outside the body.And, a martial energy stream can only vibrate once.Li An swung a fist energy stream, and golden-red flames flew out of his body, charging towards a meteorite.Vibration."Boom!"The meteorite exploded, gone.What Li An wanted was for the martial energy to remain after the boom, ready for a second boom.At this point, he sent out another fist energy stream, vibrating alongside the first one. The rumbling and trembling will pile up, growing faster and stronger, eventually shattering everything.But...With just one rumble, the power of this martial will is exhausted.How can it be continuously blasted?Liu Dahu came up with a solution.You need to root the martial will you send out!What you send out is no longer just a ball of force, but a series of martial will engines.This engine has an invisible connection with you, constantly drawing on your internal martial will and repeatedly vibrating it.The simplest way to create the source of martial will—martial will transformation!Transform your entire body into a golden-red flame.What you send out is no longer rootless force, but your body itself!So, in the end, Li An didn't just create a fist formation.He transformed himself into the formation!Trapping the enemy within his body, vibrating!
