Chapter 456: Chapter 298: Came Just in Time_2

It was no different from taking a hit of drugs with him.

To reach his realm of being able to enter "Unity of Heaven and Man" at any time, Yan Weiwei would need at least another... five or six hundred sudden enlightenments?

Fortunately, these "sudden enlightenments" obviously weren’t without their benefits.

At the very least, her prowess had greatly increased...

Yan Weiwei’s gaze swept over someone in the crowd and she curled her lips.

This time, she owed a huge favor...

Even she herself hadn’t quite expected to make a breakthrough yesterday.

The feeling was subtle, but she indeed briefly experienced that marvelous realm only those who had mastered "Dark Energy" could sense – "a feeling of etherealness throughout the body, reacting intuitively to external objects and forces, and understanding energy to reach enlightenment."

Although it lasted only a fleeting moment, it allowed her to glimpse that higher level of realm she had long dreamt of...

It was as if a sturdy door that had once seemed impenetrable had been cracked open, and with her previous accumulation, she finally managed to puncture that layer of paper that stood between the pinnacle of "Light Force" and "Dark Energy."

Only...

Feeling the weakness in her legs, she couldn’t help but sigh in her heart.

Engaging in combat right after a breakthrough was indeed somewhat premature...

If she had been given a few more days to get accustomed to her new skills, that last strike wouldn’t have merely disabled an arm but would have completely taken her opponent down.

Not only was the attack lackluster, but there was also a feeling of depletion from overexertion.

Yesterday, her legs were so weak she couldn’t even walk, a sensation not only from the continuous high falls but also from the tiles she had smashed with her foot...

Simply put, she had just made a breakthrough and her realm was not yet stable.

"Hahaha! Good! This is just too exciting!"

Just when everyone thought the dust had settled and the victor had been determined, the loud laughter of the tall man on the field instantly drew everyone’s attention towards him.

"Hahaha! I didn’t expect to encounter a "Dark Energy" master here today. What a worthwhile trip!

The renowned and respected veterans are not easily seen, and I couldn’t even find someone to spar with, much to my frustration.

Master Li told me how formidable "Dark Energy" masters could be, but I never had the chance to meet one until today. Hahaha..."

His right arm was still dangling limply, his strength nearly halved, yet his battle spirit surprisingly soared even higher in such a state!

An utter martial fanatic! And one who becomes even more eager after setbacks!

Meng Lang sighed inwardly, lifted his wrist, and checked his watch again.

"Lei Zi! Don’t push yourself too hard!" Master Li, though somewhat malicious and twisted in his thoughts, did seem genuinely concerned for his disciple, advising him with a slightly anxious expression.

"Master, an opportunity like this comes once in a blue moon. If I don’t fight to my heart’s content, I won’t be able to sleep when I go back. Come on, let me see if a "Dark Energy" master really is as formidable as the rumors say!"

Having said that, Li Lei, dragging his incapacitated arm, charged at Yan Weiwei once more like a wild bull!

Yan Weiwei cursed inwardly but could only raise her arms to counter his single-handed attack with both fists, starting another round of their fight!

Everyone’s hearts were instantly on edge again.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Li Lei’s left arm executed a "Stone Breaking Hand" technique, which Yan Weiwei dodged, and then his legs rooted like iron pillars stomped, swept, thumped, delivered side and straight kicks...

Kicking up dust and stones beneath him, like an ox plowing the field, he was ferociously intense.

With an arm now missing, Li Lei could not perform the full set of linked techniques, losing eighty percent of his skill, and he unexpectedly resorted to the leg methods of "Baji Fist," which were not his strong suit.

Meanwhile, Yan Weiwei did not rely on the powerful "Dark Energy" strikes she previously demonstrated - which everyone had expected - but used agile movements to dodge, countering with punches...

The two seemed to have agreed to swap styles, puzzling the onlookers.

Realizing this situation, Yan Feng finally understood that Yan Weiwei had mentioned she had broken through just yesterday.

Clearly, such attacks couldn’t be launched at will.

Seeing this, Master Li, who had initially been worried, saw a glimmer of hope reignite.

The scales of victory and defeat became blurred once more...

Despite his bravery, the absence of one arm proved too great an impediment for Li Lei. His moves were fraught with openings, giving Yan Weiwei ample opportunities to inflict effective damage.

Chest, belly, back... he took countless hits.

But Li Lei simply guarded his head and neck vitals with one hand, while bearing the rest of the onslaught with sheer "Qigong" endurance.

His right side was excessively exposed, yet, when unable to defend, he would even use his numb right arm as a shield.

Such ferocious tactics left onlookers in awe.

"Dark Energy" master, that’s all? Not enough! Still not enough!"

Li Lei’s eyes were slightly red with excitement, and all he could see was the opponent in front of him.

The long-lost formidable enemy made him feel as if he had returned to the underground boxing ring filled with roars and blood, making his fighting style wilder and more aggressive.

Yan Weiwei, with her face covered in cold sweat, carefully dealt with the opponent in front of her, who was like a frenzied bull.

A single lapse in caution, and she could have been overturned by her opponent.

However, looking at the situation, Yan Weiwei, who still retained her full combat strength, seemed to have a certain upper hand.

The onlookers were all sweating for Yan Weiwei in their hearts, while looking forward to the moment when she would once again demonstrate her mighty power.

Landing a "real damage" hit that ignores defense, and knocking out her opponent in one strike!

However, what she feared came to pass.

For some reason, Yan Weiwei’s legs suddenly went weak, and she stumbled.

Although it was just for a split second, the opponent seized this brief opening and delivered a side kick!

"Bang!" For the first time, Li Lei’s agile leg movements managed to hit Yan Weiwei, and she instantly lost her balance, muttering to herself that this was bad.

As expected, the next moment, Li Lei let out a loud shout, followed by a fierce Mounting Push attack!

"Bang!" Even though she tried to raise her hand and step back in that instant, blocking the direct hit,

the sheer brute force of that collision still caused excruciating pain in Yan Weiwei’s arm, and her body spun in the air for two and a half turns before being violently knocked away!

"We concede! We concede! Stop!"

A familiar voice suddenly sounded in her ear, but Yan Weiwei, who was being knocked through the air, had no time to scold the other party for interfering.

When she looked up again after landing awkwardly, she found a burly figure had already pounced above her head...

The shadow that blocked out the sunlight completely enveloped her, turning her complexion instantly pale.

She wanted to dodge, but her legs felt as if they were filled with lead and wouldn’t respond.

Damn it! It’s too late!

"Die!" With no intention of sparing her femininity, Li Lei, as he pounced, brought down a vicious single-handed hammer strike!

"Weiwei!" "Sister Weiwei!" "Ah!"

A series of exclamations came from the audience, and just as Yan Feng was about to step forward to stop it, Xiao Yu couldn’t help but close her eyes...

"Bang!"

There was a moment of silence at the scene, as if time had frozen in that instant...

"What..."

The next moment, everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief at the scene before them.

Peeking through her fingers, Xiao Yu also opened her mouth in an O shape at the situation in the arena...

"Uncle?!"

"What?!"

Li Lei, with a surprised look on his face, saw the strange man who was under the shadow he cast, with his arms raised, blocking his strike...

His downward crushing hammer strike had actually been blocked by an ordinary-looking young man!

How was that possible?!

"Didn’t I already say we concede?" Meng Lang looked somewhat helplessly at the hulking man who towered a full head taller than himself.

"Who are you?"

Li Lei took two cautious steps back, his face stern.

Meng Lang didn’t answer him, but first pulled Yan Weiwei up from the ground.

"Don’t you know how to concede?"

"Hmph! Like I said, those two words are not in my dictionary!"

Yan Weiwei didn’t show a shocked expression like everyone else; instead, her face was sullen, and her mood looked very down.

She lost, after all...

She sighed in her heart.

Looking at Meng Lang, there was a hint of confusion in her eyes.

"Did you see that I was going to lose? Did you come out just in time?"

"Yeah! I timed it with a watch, believe it or not."
