However, there were challenges within - although Tang Yi's power was not strong, his physical qualities had not changed at all. Old Tang was still the same Old Tang with over 400 million in physical qualities, so this guy's ability to take hits completely exceeded Wen Yu's response capabilities. Other than certain weak point attacks, any other attacks landing on Tang Haofei only resulted in some additional bruises.
As Tang Haofei gradually moved from passive beating to mastering some simple fighting techniques, the counterattack soon arrived.
"Stop..."
A slurred "Stop" came from Old Tang's mouth, but before he could finish, it was slapped back into his stomach by Wen Yu—his true words were ineffective.
Then, the ground began to tremble as the power of heaven and earth was briefly activated under Tang Haofei's control. The killing power was minimal, and Old Tang didn't have the energy to unleash a powerful move; he could only turn the arena beneath their feet into a puddle of mud.
However, the effect was quite good. Under the interference of the power of heaven and earth, Wen Yu temporarily lost his point of force, and his attack motion immediately distorted. A quick elbow strike slowed by half a beat, and that half-beat allowed Old Tang to break free from being passively beaten.
Tang Haofei's body instantly transformed into lightning, appearing at the edge of the arena in the blink of an eye.
"Cough cough..."
He coughed lightly, spitting out a mouthful of congealed blood and half a tooth. Only then did Tang Haofei lift his head to look at Wen Yu, his eyes shining with a strange light.
"How did you do it? Even with a soul strike, you shouldn't have such a significant advantage."
"The dynamic capture of the eye of the night, the defense capabilities of the demon dragon armor and ancient dragon's fury, and of course, more importantly, your current display of strength is really lacking. There are also some small details, like..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Yu exerted force through his legs and shot towards Tang Haofei.
"Your control over power."
The two instantly closed the distance, and Wen Yu's right fist struck out once more—this simple straight punch remained silent until Tang Haofei also threw a punch, with a fierce sonic boom and flickering lightning accompanying it.
"Boom!"
The two fists collided, but with a crisp sound of "creak, creak," Wen Yu not only did not step back but actually caused Old Tang to stagger.
"Your control over your body is simply inadequate. Out of ten parts of your strength, nine are wasted on empty air. So right now, your strength doesn't have the upper hand; in terms of attack power, I'm actually stronger than you."
As if narrating, Wen Yu spoke while launching another attack.
His right fist struck out smoothly. Tang Haofei slightly tilted his head, wanting to dodge this straight punch, but unexpectedly, Wen Yu's right fist slowed down as if it had hit some kind of barrier. Until the speed of his right fist reduced to a certain level, Wen Yu's left hand suddenly shot out, slapping Tang Haofei on the forehead.
"Using power against power, building up strength—these are just some simple fighting techniques. But as physical qualities improve, these simple things can work wonders. I guess you don't understand this at all? You've only known how to rely on your physical qualities to defeat your opponents; in reality, you can't even be considered a warrior, just a brainless brute."
"Bang!"
Wen Yu's slap left Tang Haofei dizzy. Old Tang felt a buzzing in his head, and out of reflex, he attacked. He kicked towards Wen Yu, only to be gently deflected aside by Wen Yu's right hand. Then, Wen Yu's left hand turned into a knife and struck at Tang Haofei's neck.
"Cough cough cough..."
This attack still didn't deal a fatal injury, but with his neck injured, Old Tang felt his breath become unsteady. He quickly stepped back three paces, standing in place and coughing for a long time before he managed to recover.
Wen Yu simply stood there, watching Tang Haofei's disheveled posture. After a while, he sighed and said, "Is it because of the life and death battle resolution?"
