Section 6, Southern Cross

The gray figure approached fearlessly, advancing head-on

Suddenly, the flame leaped.

A humble body, yet an aspiring spirit; crossing the southern sky, the gate of arduous cultivation

In theory, any martial art can give rise to lethal techniques, but in practice, there are too many martial arts that lack such techniques. The requirements for comprehending lethal techniques are extremely stringent, necessitating a complete understanding of the essence of the martial art, and often requiring a stroke of fortune.

The basic martial arts movements are few in number and can be practiced quickly. Just as Tang Tian thought it was over after the last movement, the gray figure suddenly clapped his left palm, executing a "push." Immediately following was a lightning-fast series of three "broken steps," as his body soared into the air, twisting at the waist to deliver a "charging punch" in mid-air

Tang Tian, in a fit of rage, looked around anxiously, resembling someone digging three feet into the ground. After searching for a long time, the Gray Man still did not appear. The flames in Tang Tian's eyes began to fade, and soon, he found the Gray Man again within the cross-shaped light portal, where the Gray Man had once more become as still as a statue.

Tang Tian had long since cast aside questions about what the Gray Man truly was, and now his mind was consumed by a single thought: how could he defeat the damned creature before him

The gray figure on the ground transformed into a wisp of gray mist, vanishing without a trace

Yes

The gray figure suddenly raised his head, his gaze piercing and fierce.

Tang Tian felt somewhat dazed; such a powerful move was actually executed by himself

Tang Tian was stunned in place by this surreal scene. In this brief moment, the gray figure had already descended from the door.

Therefore, the pursuit of lethal techniques has always been one of people's objectives

The gray figure rushed over as well

Hello, who are you?" Tang Tian attempted to shout.

Soul cards enable individuals to rapidly learn new martial skills. Those with slightly better economic conditions tend to spend the majority of their time practicing mental techniques

Only with sufficient true power can one utilize higher-tier soul general cards, which also implies the ability to learn advanced martial skills

Indeed ... https://www.hetushu.com ... ... exactly as I imagined ...

Tang Tian licked his lips, suddenly exerted force with his feet, and his whole body shot forward like a cheetah, darting towards the gray figure with lightning speed

The technique I inadvertently devised turned out to be a lethal move

The appearance of the gray figure bears a striking resemblance to Tang Tian

The completion of the million foundation marks the opening of the Southern Cross Gate

Just before Tang Tian's fists collided, he suddenly shifted his fist to the side, instantly transforming it into a palm, connecting with the gray figure's fist. His right arm suddenly became soft, like an old vine, wrapping around the gray figure's fist

Suddenly, a faint gray figure slowly emerged at the door

Bang

"Dare to challenge me? I'll stamp your face with a pancake!" Tang Tian spat out fiercely.

It felt as if a voice was constantly shouting within his heart, and Tang Tian's fists involuntarily clenched tightly. Suddenly, he raised his head, his gaze becoming sharp as a knife

After the gray person completed the drill, he remained motionless, like a wooden figure

The five fundamental martial arts techniques are continuously deconstructed, colliding and confronting each other at an astonishing frequency

Tang Tian's lips suddenly curled into a smile of cunning triumph

[Chongquan] against [Chongquan]

In mid-air, Tang Tian regained his balance using the force transmitted through his hands. At that moment, he was in a superior position, descending rapidly. Without a second thought, Tang Tian released his grip, utilizing the force of his fall to bend his elbow into a hammer and struck firmly against the gray figure's abdomen

At that moment, the cross in mid-air slowly opened like a door

Killing move, [Counter Punch Kill]

Both sides have begun a new round of entanglement, with little finesse involved. The moves from both parties are straightforward and decisive, engaging in a fast-paced exchange. Tang Tian is acting out of character, taking the initiative to attack; he seems to be filled with strength.

Both parties moved at an incredible speed, their forward momentum was forceful. As Tang Tian executed a binding maneuver, the two individuals, who were approaching each other in mid-air, simultaneously lost their balance.

Tang Tian leaped into the air, his body twisted into a strange angle with Tu Shu, and he shouted as he threw a punch, the accumulated power erupting in an instant

Tang Tian gasped for breath, glaring fiercely at the gray figure before him, forcing himself to suppress the urge to clench his fists, which had gone from painful to numb. More critically, the battle had been too intense, and he could feel his strength rapidly depleting. The gray figure before him, however, showed no signs of fatigue whatsoever

A line of blood-red characters floated above the gray man's head

Come on, you little rascal

How to hit?

Having spent five years at the And Academy, Tang Tian is certainly aware of what a killing move is

Understanding the fundamental killing move: [Counter Punch Kill]

This is the true balance of autumn colors

He squinted his eyes, feeling not the slightest bit of fear in his heart; instead, he felt a sense of excitement. His thoughts were quite simple: the Gray Man was clearly the secret of the bronze medal, and he must defeat the Gray Man in order to truly unravel the mystery of the bronze medal.

Killing move

The gray figure seemed oblivious, suddenly beginning to practice basic martial skills: fundamental boxing techniques, basic palm techniques, foundational lightness skills, basic hidden weapons, and elementary swordsmanship. A strange feeling arose in Tang Tianxin's heart, as if he were training in front of a mirror

[Chongquan] versus [Chongquan]

Tang Tian's face was contorted with rage, and he let out a roar akin to that of a wild beast, channeling all his strength to slam the gray figure in his hand forcefully onto the ground

But what exactly is this thing

He then realized that the light spots were actually four stars

Beneath the cross, sixteen characters release a faint glow, appearing on the door

The distance between the two individuals is, in fact, not far.

Yesterday, during the competition, I felt nothing; only now, witnessing it with my own eyes, can I sense a wave of murderous intent rushing towards me

These are the reasons he can dominate in Ande; however, in front of the Gray Man, these advantages are nearly lost. The Gray Man is not inferior to him in either strength or reaction, and his familiarity with basic martial skills is equally perfect. As for ferocity, the Gray Man is tireless and impervious to pain, even stronger than Tang Tian

Tang Tian curled his lips in disdain, thinking that his level was about the same as that of his brother

The gray figure seemed to sense Tang Tian's thoughts, shuddering slightly. A gray foot stepped out from the cross-shaped door.

Two powerful fists, like two roaring meteors, are about to collide head-on.

I have been waiting for this day for five years

The gray figure did not step forward, merely casting a piercing gaze that coldly fixed on Tang Tian. The gray figure showed no signs of fatigue, with no weaknesses apparent, utterly flawless.

With a powerful punch, he created distance from the gray figure, gaining a precious moment to catch his breath

The furious roar of Tang Tian, intermingled with the incessant sounds of fists and feet clashing, echoed continuously.

After dozens of rounds, Tang Tian had not gained the slightest advantage; this was the first time he encountered such a situation. He had experienced being in a difficult position during fights before, but in these five fundamental martial arts techniques, no one had ever been able to surpass him.

Is this the secret of the bronze medal? Tang Tian murmured to himself, staring blankly at the cross before him that emitted a faint glow, lost in thought.

With the body as the axis, the gray figure was forcefully swung up by Tang Tian like a sandbag

Sensing the change in Tang Tian, the gray figure adopted a defensive posture

Tang Tianru stood in the vastness of the universe, with a brilliant galaxy before him, the stars countless like grains of sand in a river. Suddenly, a point of light flew out from the galaxy, approaching him rapidly, growing larger in his field of vision.

Although the killing move sounded impressive, Tang Tian was momentarily taken aback but remained quite composed. Few would waste their time on low-level martial techniques, let alone basic martial skills

Basic Fist Techniques, Basic Sword Techniques, Basic Hidden Weapons, Basic Lightness Skills, Basic Palm Techniques

The secret is right before us... as long as we defeat him...

Four stars flew before him, suddenly connecting in pairs to form an irregular cross. A ring of light traces illuminated around the cross, which swiftly transformed into a door, with the cross emblem appearing on it

Tang Tian suddenly sensed the hostility of the other party like a wild beast, and the hairs on his back stood on end. He quickly bent slightly at the waist, shifted his feet, leaned slightly forward, and his hands were poised.

Defeat him

As long as you defeat him, you will be able to uncover the secret of the bronze medal

Hoo ... ... hoo. ... ... ... hoo ...

What an impressive move

Boom

The ground trembled, and dust rose into the air

The frequency of punches and kicks from both sides is astonishing, striking rapidly against each other, with the sound of fists and feet colliding resembling a torrential downpour.

The more one fights against Tang Tian, the more uncomfortable it becomes

Tang Tian's body also lost its balance, but he was prepared. He exhaled sharply and spoke, gripping the gray man's hand without the slightest relaxation, as his powerful core strength suddenly erupted.

Two shadows of figures, constantly touching and separating, yet repeatedly lunging at each other. Both sides strike with incredible speed, at times engaging in close-quarters combat within a very small space, and at other times exchanging powerful punches in wide arcs. Their footwork is astonishingly rapid, with the two moving in perfect synchrony.

Striking swiftly and forcefully, meeting heavy blows with heavy blows, a flame flickered in the boy's eyes

Comprehend the lethal move: [Entangled Elbow Kill]

On the other hand, it is his foundational martial skills that have been honed through countless trials. Although these foundational skills are only at the first level and possess limited power, their movements are simple and the execution is swift. When perfected, these foundational skills compress the execution time to the utmost limit. In the hands of someone like Tang Tian, who has an exceptionally strong physique, their power is still quite impressive

The gray figure in front of me moves exactly the same way as he does

Five years, a full five years, the arduous training of five years, is it not all for the secret of the bronze medal

Basic martial skills consume almost no true energy, and what everyone competes with is still physical fitness

Indeed, it is just as you say

There are several reasons why he excels in fighting. One is his outstanding physical fitness, which is a result of long-term foundational martial arts training. His physique is very balanced, tall and well-proportioned, with explosive power, reaction time, and stamina that surpass those of the average person. Even compared to the terrifying physique of Amori and others, Tang Tian is only slightly inferior in strength; however, he has a comprehensive advantage in agility, reaction ability, and speed.

Ha ha ha ha

Almost simultaneously, the Gray Man also leaped up, executing the same "reverse punch kill".

Tang Tian felt somewhat bewildered

The gray figure gave him a very strange feeling, as if Tang Tian were battling against himself. With each move he made, the gray figure seemed extremely familiar; even when he employed some unconventional attack methods, the gray figure always effortlessly dodged them.

Tang Tian, with a sea of fire in his eyes, completely failed to notice the words flashing on the door. He showed no intention of backing down and was about to turn over and continue.

Tang Tian had fought countless battles, and he soon realized that this one could not be escaped

He has fought several matches against Amori. Amori's punches are equally powerful and forceful, but the sensation is entirely different when compared to this punch. The punch from the Gray Man is filled with instantaneous explosive power

Dai Dai stared blankly at the shimmering cross for a long time, and Tang Tian still could not figure out what this thing was actually for

Yes

Tang Tian suddenly shivered and blurted out: "Killing move..."

The so-called killing move is an elevated technique that arises after comprehending the true essence of martial arts. Its power greatly exceeds that of the standard techniques of the same martial art. Generally speaking, the power of a martial arts killing move is equivalent to a martial art of a higher tier. However, its consumption is less than that of a third-tier martial art.

After five years, he finally uncovered the secret of the bronze medal

Defeat him

A powerful impact emanated from the fist, causing Tang Tian's forward momentum to momentarily halt. He widened his eyes in surprise, astonished by the strength of the punch.

This is ... ...

The clenched fist slightly relaxed, then tightened again like lightning, the feet exerted force without warning, the body moved like electricity, and once more lunged towards the gray figure.

In addition, although Tang Tian has a simple mind, he is extremely fierce and valiant in fights, often engaging in a tit-for-tat manner, which is a common occurrence; ordinary students tend to be intimidated even before the battle begins

The gray figure bent its body, resembling a shrimp
