There are very few things in the world that are perfect.

In most cases, the power of a martial art is directly proportional to the difficulty of mastering it.

Generally speaking, the more powerful a martial art is, the more difficult it is to cultivate.

Conversely, the same is true.

As the supreme secret scripture of the Yunshui Jingci Pavilion, the Nebula Divine Skill is only allowed to be practiced by the successive Pavilion Masters, and each of them is a person of amazing talent, but at most they only practiced this internal skill to the seventh level.

This shows how difficult it is to cultivate this martial art, but even so, no one has ever chosen to give up.

One reason is naturally because the successive Pavilion Masters of the Yunshui Jingci Pavilion are all people of great perseverance, but the main reason is that this mental method is strong enough!

Because it is strong, later generations are willing to work hard for it.

Also because it is strong, the Nebula Divine Skill is known as the number one unique skill in the martial arts world.

And at this moment, Lu Jing felt the power of this internal skill firsthand.

This was the first time he had encountered such a strange zhenqi. As soon as it entered his meridians, it immediately dispersed without attacking, turning into starlight.

It was like stars in the night sky, revolving around each other.

Before, because Yan Yun had injected only a small amount of zhenqi into his body, it was not obvious, but now, these zhenqi nebulae that had entered his meridians faintly showed a tendency to connect into one piece.

Moreover, although they were scattered, it was not as easy to eliminate them as he had imagined.

The internal force that rushed up was originally intended to consume those zhenqi nebulae, but the final result was often that it was also taken to rotate together, and was instead adsorbed on those zhenqi nebulae, causing the latter to continue to grow.

However, after several attempts, Lu Jing also found a way to deal with those zhenqi nebulae, that is—increase the intensity!

There is some truth to the saying that great power creates miracles.

Whether it was those zhenqi nebulae or the speed at which they rotated, they were limited.

As long as there was enough internal force to intercept them, their consumption would not be able to keep up with their replenishment, and in the end, they would not be able to escape the fate of being consumed.

However, even if he found a solution, it did not mean that the Nebula Divine Skill had become easy to deal with.

Because for ordinary people, this also meant an increase in internal force consumption.

Lu Jing roughly calculated that consuming a piece of zhenqi nebula meant that he had to pay at least three times the internal force. For ordinary people, this was obviously unacceptable.

But this was exactly what Lu Jing wanted. He then unhesitatingly mobilized the internal force in his dantian and began to vigorously scrub it in his meridians.

Later, Lu Jing simply gave up defense completely and began to attack Yan Yun with offense.

The two figures moved quickly in the maple forest, and the bulging zhenqi supported their clothes. This was a manifestation of the two's internal skills running to the extreme.

At first, Lu Jing and Yan Yun's movements were so fast that Wen Xiaochuan on the side could hardly see them clearly. She could only hear the rustling sound of the leaves being stirred by the fist wind.

However, after a cup of tea, the movements of the two gradually slowed down again.

And this was not because Lu Jing and Yan Yun were exhausted. In fact, on the contrary, the two's competition had reached the most critical moment!

Whether it was Yan Yun or Lu Jing, they had to become extra cautious. Every punch and kick needed to be charged up first, and the zhenqi they carried between their gestures was also unimaginably strong.

Sweat had begun to appear on Yan Yun's forehead, and her bangs were stuck to it, while her cheeks were also slightly flushed.

Now, the chief of the Yunshui Jingci Pavilion had to admit that she had indeed underestimated the man in front of her.

Since entering the first-class realm and reaching the state of endless internal force, Yan Yun had never been in such a bitter battle.

Clearly, she was suppressing the other party with her cultivation techniques and internal skills, but she just couldn't defeat Lu Jing.

No matter how many times her Yunxiao Benlei Palm had hit Lu Jing, and no matter how many times her Nebula Divine Skill had invaded Lu Jing's meridians, the other party still looked alive and kicking afterwards.

This had completely exceeded Yan Yun's martial arts common sense.

On the other hand, she herself was gradually feeling a little overwhelmed.

As the initiator of the offensive, her consumption was naturally not light. Every palm used 100% of her power, not only to try to attack Lu Jing's meridians, but also to resist the subsequent counterattack.

At the beginning, Yan Yun didn't care much, because the Nebula Divine Skill she cultivated was most afraid of competing with others in consumption. After all, for every point of internal force she consumed, the other party had to consume at least three points.

In her opinion, Lu Jing was completely asking for trouble by doing so, but now the expression on her face had become more and more serious.

Because she found that if this continued, she might be the first to be unable to hold on.

The other party's dantian was simply like a bottomless pit, unfathomable. Yan Yun couldn't help but wonder if this guy had really just entered the first-class realm not long ago?

Because even against her master, she had never been so helpless as she was now.

Acupuncture points were ineffective against the other party, the palm techniques she wielded couldn't hurt the other party, and she was also at a disadvantage in the competition of internal force… Yan Yun didn't know what else she could use to defeat the opponent in front of her.

And all of this was seen by Wen Xiaochuan on the side.

Not good, Yan Yun is going to lose?

When this thought appeared in Wen Xiaochuan's mind, her first reaction was to feel absurd.

After all, that was Yan Yun, the super genius of the Yunshui Jingci Pavilion who was rare in a hundred years, the recognized number one in the younger generation. Since her debut, the challenges she had received had never stopped.

But no one had ever been able to shake her throne. Even though Lu Jing had also entered the Tianji List like her, and even though Lu Jing had shone brightly in the previous assessment and broke the longest stay record in the Desert Ancient Tomb.

But still few people felt that he could threaten Yan Yun.

Because this was something that Yan Yun had repeatedly proven through one victory after another over the years.

Even Wen Xiaochuan herself didn't realize that, since when, she had a nearly blind belief in Yan Yun, so that before she came here, she had never thought that Yan Yun might lose.

But now, this thing that didn't seem to happen no matter how you looked at it was about to happen in front of her!

Wen Xiaochuan couldn't help but bite her lip.

The next moment, she saw Yan Yun slowly push out a palm and Lu Jing's palm collided with a snap, and this time a flash of determination flashed in Yan Yun's eyes.

Instead of retracting her hand after the offensive was blocked, she further urged the Nebula Divine Skill in her body, turning this battle directly into a pure comparison of internal force!

This was the only chance for Yan Yun's last gamble that she could think of.

She wanted to take a gamble and see if the remaining zhenqi in her body could exhaust Lu Jing's internal force.
