Chapter 154 Sky Python Sequence

"This staff technique..." Liu Hai, Tu Ling, Miyakawa Akari, Haru Singh, Tiger Fossen, and many other experts all showed expressions of surprise. Each of them was very talented in martial arts and had reached the fifth level. They could fully feel the uniqueness of this staff technique!

These staff shadows were like dancing pythons, with no discernible pattern. Each staff shadow was unpredictable, trying to avoid Xu Jingming's spear and kill him. Moreover, the staff shadows were perfectly integrated, one move connecting to the next, like a huge net enveloping Xu Jingming.

"The envoy, Di Tiano, is likely using the basic part of some supreme inheritance in the universe." On the viewing platform, Pang Ze determined at a glance, "In all these years, I've only seen the guest from that large family in the Great Horn Star Alliance use similar moves."

Pang Ze immediately recognized that unique flavor.

"Envoy Di Tiano has a very strong background. It's normal for him to have access to the basic parts of the supreme inheritance of the human race in the universe." Pang Ze understood. "Xu Jingming's chances of winning this battle are slim."

...

Di Tiano admired his father the most. His father had spent painstaking efforts to create three secret techniques for him and had also said that if he focused on cultivating the three secret techniques, he would have a chance to climb to the ninth level!

These three secret techniques covered every stage from planetary lifeforms to cosmic lifeforms, all the way to the ninth level. His father had meticulously broken them down, creating them in great detail for his son.

"To lose under my family's secret technique, the number one genius of a weak civilization should be proud." Di Tiano thought, but his expression soon changed because Xu Jingming had blocked every move of his secret technique, the 'Sky Python Sequence', which he had used with all his strength.

No matter how he attacked, Xu Jingming seemed to be struggling, but he was indeed blocking it.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Xu Jingming felt an unprecedented terrifying pressure. He also used his strongest defensive move—the Space Domain Stance—at the first moment!

Of the five ultimate moves recorded in the upper篇(pian) of the *Hua Guang* inheritance that he had learned, only the Space Domain Stance was purely defensive. It did not seek any offense, only to defend against the enemy's attack. As the spear was wielded, the spear shadows seemed to form a罩(zhao)zi (a cover or shield), enveloping Xu Jingming.

Moreover, there were two layers of spear shadow罩(zhao)zi (cover/shield). One layer of the罩(zhao)zi (cover/shield) was formed by the front half of the spearhead, and the other layer was formed by the tail of the spear, trying to resist the staff shadows.

The power of these staff shadows was not too great, only 30 to 40% stronger than Xu Jingming. But their trajectories were erratic, like venomous snakes, moving in curves and searching for gaps! As long as there was a slight gap in the defense, they would drill in.

Xu Jingming's outer layer of spear shadow罩(zhao)zi (cover/shield) would occasionally fail, and the inner layer of spear shadow罩(zhao)zi (cover/shield) would block it.

"'Space Domain Stance', taught by Xuan, is about completely controlling space and turning it into one's own domain to resist all attacks." Xu Jingming was also struggling. "But Di Tiano clearly only has a staff weapon, and I'm having such a hard time defending with all my strength?"

******

"Xu Jingming is going to lose."

"He's having a hard time defending. It feels like he's about to collapse at any moment."

In the live broadcast, the exchange between the two was also being replayed in slow motion. Countless viewers around the world could clearly determine, after slowing it down tenfold, that Di Tiano had an overwhelming advantage. The staff shadows were attacking crazily, and Xu Jingming was parrying desperately, blocking with great difficulty.

"Prolonged defense will inevitably lead to loss." Liu Hai frowned as he watched. Barely holding on for a while, but as long as there was one mistake, it would be over.

"Di Tiano and Xu Jingming's strength is indeed far beyond us." Tiger Fossen sighed secretly. "Di Tiano's staff technique is so terrifying that I can't even take one move."

"Jingming." Li Miaomiao, Wang Yi, Dai Xiaoqing, and many other friends and relatives of Xu Jingming also became nervous.

They could all see that Xu Jingming was at an absolute disadvantage!

"Hmm?"

Pang Ze was a little surprised. He watched the competition carefully. In his eyes, the battle between Di Tiano and Xu Jingming was extremely clear. "What amazing comprehension! Xu Jingming's spear technique is obviously improving!"

...

When he first started to defend against the terrifying move of the 'Sky Python Sequence', one of the three secret techniques, Xu Jingming indeed felt a suffocating pressure. He even felt that he would be crushed and lose the match.

But as the spear blocked the staff shadows time and time again, each time deflecting and borrowing strength, he could also vaguely feel the power of the other party's staff technique.

Just like when Liu Hai fought Di Tiano, he could imitate part of the staff technique.

Xu Jingming's 'Space Domain Stance' was also extremely good at deflecting and borrowing strength. The more he defended, the more he understood Di Tiano's staff technique.

"Incredible staff technique." In Xu Jingming's perception, each staff technique was interwoven with multiple forces. Sometimes a staff technique might only have three forces intertwined, sometimes five or six forces mixed and intertwined, and sometimes it was purely one force... The force was constantly changing, but each staff technique was very powerful and unpredictable.

"The force is constantly changing, adapting to my spear technique, making it extremely difficult to resist."

"But the staff technique has a core force. That force is the foundation of the staff technique, and the other forces are the variables of the staff technique."

"One as the core, two, three, or even seven or eight as variables?"

"Grasp the one... and the staff technique can be perfect as one."

Xu Jingming could only make a vague judgment. After all, the changes in the staff technique were too complex. Without a detailed inheritance, it was impossible to learn.

But for Xu Jingming, this vague understanding opened a door for him.

"Grasp the one? Two, three, or even seven or eight as variables?"

"Isn't Xuan's *Hua Guang* spear technique also the essence of this?"

Xu Jingming had once possessed the body of the cosmic legend Xuan and felt Xuan perform tens of millions of spear thrusts in a row! Although those spear thrusts were different thrusting techniques, they had a 'core'. Grasping the core made all the spear thrusts seem like one, and tens of millions of times could continuously borrow strength without interruption!

Of course, Xuan's spear technique at the tenth level was countless times more profound than Di Tiano's. The variables in Xuan's spear technique were much more complex, and tens of millions of thrusts were all variables.

As for the core?

There was no clear core, but rather a core formed naturally by the combination of countless variables.

"Foundation and variables."

At this moment, Xu Jingming had a new understanding as he reviewed the five ultimate spear techniques in the upper篇(pian) of the *Hua Guang* he had learned.

He used the Space Domain Stance, with a strange rhythm, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, changing unpredictably. The circles formed by the spear shadows had the meaning of flowing water, making the defense more flexible and complete. The outer layer of spear shadow罩(zhao)zi (cover/shield) blocked the staff shadows.

In fact, the so-called five ultimate moves could be integrated with each other. According to Xuan's guidance, the ultimate goal was to integrate them all into the *Hua Guang* Stance!

Now, the Space Domain Stance naturally integrated with the Water Stance, and its power clearly increased greatly, already approaching the 'Greater Mastery' realm.

"Xu Jingming's spear technique is getting stronger!" Di Tiano also noticed. He used his secret technique to attack with all his strength, and it seemed that Xu Jingming was at an absolute disadvantage and could collapse at any time. But suddenly, Xu Jingming's spear technique became stronger and completely defended against his attack.

Xu Jingming even launched a counterattack, the spear as violent as a volcanic eruption.

It was the ultimate move, the Fire Stance.

Di Tiano immediately resisted. This time, the weapons collided, and Di Tiano was also shaken back more than ten meters. He was somewhat incredulous.

Xu Jingming tapped his feet and chased after Di Tiano, thrusting out spear techniques one after another! The spear technique combined the artistic conception of the Water Stance! But when thrusting out, it also had the violence of the Fire Stance! Each spear technique contained the borrowing and accumulating power of the *Hua Guang* Stance, and the spear techniques were naturally one.

"What?"

Di Tiano resisted with difficulty. Each time he resisted, he was forced to retreat.

Xu Jingming's spear technique was terrifyingly powerful, with continuous and rapid attacks, making Di Tiano unable to believe it.

He was clearly about to use a secret technique to end the match, but how could Xu Jingming become even stronger?

"Refreshing, refreshing, the softness of water, the violence of fire, the heaviness of the mountain, the control of the Space Domain, the speed of *Hua Guang*. The five stances are originally one, and the combination of the five stances is the real *Hua Guang* spear technique." Xu Jingming felt happy in his heart. "I have gained some understanding in this battle, and I have integrated the water and fire into the *Hua Guang* Stance."

With the three stances combined, Xu Jingming felt much more complete in his power circulation.

If he looked at his combat power panel, he would find that the *Hua Hong* spear technique had jumped from "Fifth Order 39%" to "Fifth Order 41%" and then to "Fifth Order 43%..."

It was not just the *Hua Hong* spear technique, but also the Starry Sky spear technique, footwork, and even combat bonuses were constantly jumping and increasing.
