Yato stroked his chin and agreed.
Ultimately, modern combat sports are all about the combination of experience and physique. With good physical fitness and strong motor skills, you can quickly learn anything. In terms of learning efficiency, those laymen with average physical fitness who come to practice combat sports for fitness purposes can't even come close.
The only way to slightly stump Tianyu is by 'exerting force'.
Modern combat techniques have a completely different understanding of power generation compared to ancient martial arts. While it's not fair to say either is wrong, there's no doubt that neither has fully explored the potential of the human body.
This is also the main reason why he first learned modern combat techniques and then went back to learn ancient martial arts at the age of 17. By learning from the strengths of many schools and broadening his horizons, he can go further on this path.
Tianyu is a successor of ancient martial arts, giving her a natural advantage in learning 'power generation'. The power generation techniques she has mastered are the kind of 'food' that is difficult to digest, but with enough time, she can definitely chew it up and swallow it.
In Yato's eyes.
The opponent's status bar has changed quite a bit—
"Name: Tianyu Zhanzhan
Skills: Shangji-ryu Martial Arts lv8, Jeet Kune Do lv1, Mixed Martial Arts lv2, Wing Chun lv1
Strength 1.5, Agility 2, Constitution 1.6, Total 5.1
……
This progress is remarkable. By integrating techniques from various martial arts, not only has his main martial arts style, the Uechi-ryu style, been upgraded by one level, but his attributes have also increased significantly, allowing him to fully enter the realm of a dark-style fighter.
Previously, although Tianyu was incredibly strong, and many fighters with superior attributes could hardly match her, her weaknesses were still weaknesses, preventing her from further unleashing her full potential.
But things are different now. The attribute boost is a godsend for a fighter like her who relies on skill.
In addition, several other fighting techniques have been added to the skill bar.
Their levels are all quite high.
With this learning efficiency, it would be impossible for Ye Dou to raise these fighting techniques to the same level as him within a month, even if he didn't hold back. However, the bet only requires reaching the 'graduation' standard to be considered a victory.
This condition was as easy as taking candy from a baby for Tianyu.
However, despite saying that, Yato wasn't worried at all.
His greatest strength has never been those fighting techniques that anyone can learn.
Jeet Kune Do, mixed martial arts, Wing Chun... all the modern and ancient styles are just 'converters' to unleash his true power!
"According to the bet, you haven't even learned the slightest bit of my best move."
Yato also revealed a mocking smile.
"...!"
Tianyu's lips twitched upon hearing this.
The full terms of the bet were: "Let's see who can learn the other's best move first."
Yato's nickname is "Kicking Demon".
In other words, his greatest skill must be kicking.
Although Tianyu is not used to hurting people with her legs, her body is quite compatible with female fighting techniques such as kicking.
But that's not the problem.
However, no matter how hard she studied Yato's kicking techniques, she could not achieve the same effect as him.
In other words, one can understand it, but cannot do it.
How can one claim to have 'learned' something if they cannot apply it effectively?
“You haven’t mastered your ‘Storm Kick’ yet, but I’ve got a clue.”
Tenyu crossed her arms and held up an object that Yukino could only envy, her confidence undiminished.
"Oh?"
Yato expressed his doubts.
“My school has special training methods, as you know. I used to only apply them to my hands, but after some modifications, I can apply them to my legs and feet. Then…” Tianyu suddenly turned around and walked towards a big tree. He pointed his fingers like a knife and slashed at it with great speed, but his fingertips didn’t even touch the bark.
It appears to be just a cursory stroke.
However, the next moment.
The dry, wrinkled bark slowly cracked, revealing a gash!
"I can do something like this with my feet."
Tianyu tossed her long hair and looked at the black-haired youth behind her with a hint of smugness.
Yato was genuinely surprised to see this.
Unexpectedly, Tianyu, without even mastering the basics of the [Storm Kick], was able to imitate it to this extent simply by using what he had learned over the past few days and combining it with his own skills.
That's right, it's just a simple imitation.
Tenyu knew that Yato's physique was different from ordinary people, which was why he was able to create such a unique technique. She did not have the same physique, so the probability of her being able to learn it was naturally close to zero.
But she didn't want to give up easily, so she thought of 'imitation'.
Since we can't copy it exactly, why not use it as a reference and create a similar technique ourselves?
That's what Tianyu thought.
Judging from the results, her approach was clearly correct.
"As expected of you."
Yato was lavish in his praise.
The principle behind the "Storm Kick" is not complicated; simply put, it's a "vacuum knife."
Tianyu's imitation effect is at most at the level of Tempest Kick Lv1. If it continues to be improved, it will inevitably become a new secret technique, rather than just Tempest Kick.
Although Tianyu saw this as nothing more than a compromise out of necessity.
But in some ways, her approach was far more meaningful than simply studying.
"How about it? Are you going to admit defeat? Although I was just imitating, your [Storm Kick] is an imperfect technique, so I don't need to actually master it to win."
Tianyu challenged.
"Is this just an excuse you're making for yourself? But I won't hold that against you, since you have a point. It's inappropriate to give people an imperfect technology to learn."
Yato magnanimously admitted that he had not considered things thoroughly.
But his attitude did not bring Tianyu any sense of victory; instead, it caused an inexplicable unease to linger in his heart.
Sure enough, it didn't take long.
Her anxiety turned into reality.
Yato stood still and stretched his body, especially his lower limbs, using his fingers to press and exert force to loosen up every muscle.
After trying to jump twice more, it seemed that he had confirmed his condition.
He twisted his waist suddenly, spinning like a top.
The speed was so fast that in an instant, the whole person became a blurry shadow.
It lasted for less than a second, but it was impossible to see exactly how many times it spun around.
Yato swung his right leg forcefully, preparing to shoot.
boom!
The air was kicked open.
This is not an exaggeration.
It was truly exposed!
(I'm going to eat first, and I'll write tomorrow's update after I finish eating. It seems that four updates a day is my limit.)
Chapter 82
Leaves and dust danced and swirled on the ground.
But this was just a minor aftershock.
Tianyu's pupils constricted, and the hairs on his body stood on end. Even with his superhuman reflexes and dynamic vision, he couldn't understand what had happened. He only felt that something unseen but extremely sharp had brushed past him.
The surging airflow was too sharp, like being scrubbed with an iron brush. I felt a distinct pain on the side of my arm, but there was no bleeding or broken skin, only a large red mark.
This is why she has the secret technique of cultivating the Earth Flow, which makes her skin incredibly tough. If it were anyone else, their arm would have been scraped clean, skin and flesh torn off!
Tianyu caught a few strands of hair that fell right in front of him, clenched them tightly in his palm, and stiffly turned his head to look behind him.
The tree she had just used to display her cultivation results was now slowly toppling under her gaze.
Accompanied by a dull sound.
The trunk of a large tree, weighing hundreds of kilograms, crashed to the ground.
The fracture surface is slanted and extremely flat. Although it is not smooth, it has very few burrs.
Anyone can picture this tree being cleanly and decisively cut down in one stroke with a sharp tool.
"They say it's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost. Seeing how hard you all work has greatly inspired me. So, while I was resting at home, I completely perfected this technique."
At that moment, Yato's voice finally rang out.
"..."
Tianyu walked up to the tree and subconsciously reached out to touch the broken surface of the trunk.
The main trunk feels completely different from the bark.
Hard and high density.
Although it is wood, even if you use a pre-polished axe or saw to cut it, it will still take at least a few minutes to break it.
Of course, for top-tier fighters, it's not impossible to break a fight directly with punches and kicks.
However, to unleash the power of fists and feet, contact is essential.
Otherwise, it's just baring its teeth and claws at thin air.
However, this man broke this rule.
"how did you do that?"
Tianyu's voice trembled slightly, revealing how unsettled she was at that moment.
"It's the same principle as what I told you, the difference is that the power has been increased. But even for me, I need to charge up for a while, otherwise it would be quite difficult to kick out such a long air blade."
Yato looked at his 'masterpiece' and felt quite pleased.
After his last battle with Chujianquan, he first gained a free skill upgrade attempt, and then collected three crystals. He decided to go all out and invest them all in [Storm Kick].
The [Storm Kick] skill has been upgraded to level 10!
Breaking the sound barrier with leg speed is a necessary prerequisite for delivering a slashing kick.
And he has now reached that standard!
"Aside from accidentally acquiring Conqueror's Haki, I finally managed to level up a skill to level 10 through my own efforts!"
Yato sighed inwardly.
It's really not easy.
Actually, what prompted him to finally push [Storm Kick] to level 10 wasn't Tenyu's enthusiasm for learning, but rather Wu Horio and Hatsumi Izumi.
It was through his battles with them that Yato truly realized the value of 'secret techniques'.
Ultimate techniques, trump cards, special moves, killer moves...
It has many names.
Ultimately, they are all methods to defeat the enemy.
This method is very important.
It can enable the weak to overcome the strong, break the deadlock, and secure victory in one fell swoop. It can also make the strong even more invincible, putting them in an invincible position from the very beginning.
Without the "Storm Kick," he wouldn't have had a chance to fight back in his life-or-death struggle with Wu Hori.
