Twenty-Three Postures of Sword Technique

  Liu Han's "Earth-Shattering Divine Fist" had already gathered all his strength to strike, it was an all-out attacking fist technique that left no room for defense.

  Liu Bo had long anticipated the current situation and hadn't used his full strength. As a result, Liu Han was pushed back repeatedly until he finally fell to the ground with a thud.

  "Han Ge, this time I've won, should I call you older brother or younger brother?" Liu Bo looked at Liu Han's silly expression, feeling very close, and continued the joke from earlier.

  "I've already said it earlier, you won, so I'll call you brother. Now of course I'm calling you brother!" Liu Han said seriously.

  "Brother Han, I was just joking with you, you lost, but I still want to call you brother." Liu Bo quickly explained how he could really let Liu Han call him brother.

  "Now that I've said it, I'll make sure to follow through. From now on, you're my brother!" Liu Han patted his chest and said.

  Liu Bo's thoughts turned around and he asked: "Then I'm your older brother, are you going to listen to me?" Liu Han said: "Of course I will."

  "Alright, the first thing I want you to do from now on is to stop calling me 'ge ge', I'm still your younger brother." Liu Bo said with a smile.

  Liu Han rubbed his head and said: "Alright then, from now on I'll listen to you, I won't call you brother, but instead call you younger brother."

  "Whatever you want, just don't call me brother." Liu Bo said helplessly.

  Next, another group also decided the winner, and the winner was Liu Ming. In this way, Liu Kang, who had a bye in the previous round, would have to play against Liu Bo and Liu Ming separately. After drawing lots, Liu Kang's first opponent was Liu Ming.

  Liu Ming's technique was extremely high, and although the two men were very close in strength, Liu Ming still won by relying on his technique. Moreover, due to their similar strengths, Liu Kang was also accidentally injured internally and could no longer participate in the following matches.

  So, the final match will be between Liu Bo and Liu Ming.

  An hour later, all other contestants were eliminated and Liu Bo and Liu Ming began their final showdown.

  Liu Ming watched the matches of Liu Chen, Liu Jian and Liu Han, and thought to himself that he might not be a match for Liu Bo in terms of martial arts skills. So he decided to still play to his own strengths in body technique, just like in the previous match where they were evenly matched, but in the end he was the one who emerged victorious.

  Liu Ming's physical technique was the sixth-grade physical technique "Phantom Step", which had been cultivated to the highest level of the Qi Refining stage, and could split into nine shadowy figures. Now he could already split into five shadowy figures, such a state should be considered very high.

  Liu Ming used "Chuān Huā Zhǎng Fǎ" in conjunction with the "Phantom Step". The "Chuān Huā Zhǎng Fǎ" is extremely complex, with dozens of variations within a single move, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion, especially when combined with the "Phantom Step", creating a perfect synergy.

  Liu Ming exerted his full strength and suddenly saw countless figures surrounding Liu Bo, these figures simultaneously launched an attack on Liu Bo.

  Liu Bo saw that Liu Ming's body method was indeed very ingenious, and he was delighted to see it for the first time. He had a mind to try out both parties' body methods, to see if there were any places where he could learn from them, in order to break through his current body method boundary as soon as possible.

  Liu Bo's "Cloud Drifting and Fog Surrounding" body technique is quite comprehensive, but its characteristics are not particularly prominent. However, Liu Bo's current state is much higher than Liu Ming's, so he only uses the moving and changing characteristics of his body technique to try out with Liu Ming.

  The onlookers were amazed, seeing Liu Bo's figure now in front and now behind, but under Liu Ming's countless phantom attacks, he was invisible and left no trace, unlike Liu Ming who transformed into countless figures.

  Liu Ming's "Chuān Huā Zhǎng Fǎ" also scattered out pieces of palm shadows, interweaving to and fro, forming a large net. But Liu Bo was like a small fish in the big net, freely swimming in and out of the mesh, impossible to catch.

  The two fought for a long time, but surprisingly, not a single move hit the mark. It was completely an illusion surrounding another illusion, changing and transforming in a way that was impossible to comprehend.

  Being able to witness such a high-level martial arts exchange, the onlookers were thoroughly entertained. Watching the two figures move with ease and agility, their silhouettes seemingly as light as smoke, everyone couldn't help but feel ashamed, and secretly harbored the desire to put in arduous practice to master a top-notch martial art.

  Liu Bo, because he only demonstrated the movement and transformation characteristics of his body method, was initially somewhat clumsy in his movements under Liu Ming's attack. However, as Liu Ming continued to press him, Liu Bo's body method became increasingly fluid in its movements, and he gained new insights into the movement and transformation characteristics of his body method.

  Liu Ming also made great gains in this trial. The previous trials, although they increased his combat experience, were far less rewarding than the trial with Liu Bo. In this trial, under Liu Bo's body technique grinding, his potential was almost completely squeezed out, making him have a deeper understanding of "Phantom Step". He believed that after a period of sedimentation, he would definitely make another breakthrough.

  The two of them compared their skills, and it lasted for a meal's time. Liu Bo saw that Liu Ming was already full of steam, while his own skills were already smooth and effortless in movement, and today there would be no further progress, so he released the restrictions on his skills and exerted himself fully.

  Liu Ming only saw Liu Bo suddenly move as fast as lightning, and with a flash of his body, he disappeared from in front of his own eyes. At the same time, the back of his head was slapped by a palm, and his true energy was immediately withdrawn.

  Liu Ming had thought that he might not be a match for Liu Bo, but he hadn't expected to lose so easily. The achievements he had gained in his physical skills were so insignificant in front of Liu Bo that he couldn't help but mock himself, finding it laughable that he had just been thinking of relying on his physical skills to win.

  "I always thought my skills in the Qi training period were quite impressive, but I didn't expect Xiaobo to give me such a vivid lesson. Compared to Xiaobo, I still have a long way to go. Thank you for showing me the direction of future progress." Liu Ming sincerely thanked Liu Bo.

  "Ming Ge is being too modest, in terms of skills, I'm only slightly better than him. Fighting with Ming Ge has also brought me great benefits, we're actually promoting and progressing together." Liu Bo spoke very humbly.

  Up to now, the ranking war of Qi Refining Seventh Layer has ended, and Liu Bo got the first place in the Qi Refining Seventh Layer realm. Next is the challenge match for the disciples of Qi Refining Eighth Layer, including Liu Bo, a total of four people have proposed the challenge. Liu Bo is the first, so the first challenge match starts with him.

  Liu Bo didn't know what kind of strength these eight-layer Qi Gong masters had, and he deliberately let himself be tempered in actual combat to further improve his current martial arts skills. So he randomly chose a brother named Liu Guang as his opponent.

  "Xiaobo's performance today is truly eye-opening, I'm really looking forward to this battle." Liu Guangjia said with a smile.

  "Please spare me, Brother Guang, and don't hesitate to instruct me." Liu Bo remained polite and courteous.

  "I don't dare to be certain of winning you, so I won't give up."

  As expected, Liu Guang did not underestimate Liu Bo in the slightest and treated him as an opponent of equal level from the start, going all out to gain the upper hand.
