Chapter 565: Spirit Body Duel
It’s a standoff!
Though both Spirit Bodies are not their actual bodies, neither one is willing to back down, keen not to lose face in terms of momentum.
Chen Yongnian and Mo Ziming both have a look of concern. Fang Lin has only just activated his Spirit Eye, although the power of Fang Lin’s Spirit Eye is startling and it can transform into a Spirit Body, no matter how they look at it, he is no match for Zhou Yishui.
Not only them, but almost everyone who was paying attention to this battle wasn’t optimistic about Fang Lin.
“Make your move!” Zhou Yishui said, surprisingly allowing Fang Lin to strike first.
Fang Lin’s mouth hooks up into a smile, without any waste of words, his figure shifted, appearing straight away behind Zhou Yishui.
A palm extended, the wind from the palm is fierce, even carrying along a wave of nature’s spiritual energy, aiming directly for Zhou Yishui’s back.
Zhou Yishui reacts extremely quickly, turning around to face Fang Lin and landing a punch just as Fang Lin’s palm touches him in a split second.
Bang!
This clash clearly gave Zhou Yishui the upper hand, as Fang Lin’s Spirit Body was forced backward, his figure became blurred.
From this encounter, it was clear that there was a gap between the two Spirit Bodies.
This was a gap in strength, and also a gap in skill level.
Plainly speaking, Fang Lin’s Spirit Body is inferior to Zhou Yishui’s Spirit Body.
But this is also because Fang Lin has only just activated his Spirit Eye, while Zhou Yishui has had his Spirit Eye activated for many years. And the strength of the Spirit Body is closely related to the Spirit Eye.
The stronger the Spirit Eye, the stronger the Spirit Body.
“Again!” Fang Lin roared, radiating a strong light, as if he were a star, he charged directly at Zhou Yishui.
Zhou Yishui remained utterly calm, with a wave of his hand, he conjured a huge palm print, blocking Fang Lin.
But at that moment, Fang Lin’s Spirit Body suddenly disappeared, causing Zhou Yishui to be taken aback.
The next moment, Zhou Yishui swung his fist to his left, driving back Fang Lin who was about to sneak attack him.
A look of contempt appeared on Zhou Yishui’s face: “Don’t you know that the Spirit Eye can see through all deceptions?”
Fang Lin can only shake his head with a bitter smile. It seems that combining the Spirit Body with Traceless Body Skill was too naive. The opponent’s actual body has been watching all the while. Under the Spirit Eye, his Traceless Body Skill couldn’t play any role at all. It was as worthless as chicken ribs.
Zhou Yishui attacked again, his Spirit Body moved at an extremely fast speed and arrived in front of Fang Lin in a blink of an eye.
A set of punches were launched, causing Fang Lin’s Spirit Body to retreat repeatedly, almost unable to fight back.
“Why does this fighting style seem so familiar?”
“Yes, it looks like a fighting style from the Five Elements Sect!”
“How is it possible for the Crown Prince to use the fighting style of Five Elements Sect?”
····
Many people show a puzzled expression, especially the strong members of the Five Elements Sect present who have ugly looks on their faces. They recognize at a glance that Crown Prince Zhou Yishui’s fighting style is indeed from their Five Elements Sect.
It was really strange, Crown Prince Zhou Yishui has nothing to do with the Five Elements Sect and has never cultivated in the Five Elements Sect, so why does he know their fighting style?
However, apart from the puzzled members of the Five Elements Sect, the others didn’t care too much and continued to focus on the confrontation between the Spirit Bodies of Fang Lin and Zhou Yishui.
The Five Elements Sect fighting style is sharply effective, making the perfect blend of softness and hardness, coupled with the strength of Zhou Yishui’s Spirit Body, Fang Lin is completely outclassed, his body bearing the brunt of it about to break apart.
“Fang Lin is ultimately too weak, far from being a match for the Crown Prince.”
“In this battle of Spirit Bodies, the Crown Prince will undoubtedly win.”
“Let’s see how long Fang Lin can hold on. If he can hold on for a while, that’s something to be proud of.”
····
Everyone sighed, but they weren’t at all surprised. In their eyes, Crown Prince Zhou Yishui is indeed this powerful. If he can’t defeat Fang Lin, that would be strange.
Just as everyone thought Fang Lin’s Spirit Body was about to be destroyed, suddenly, Fang Lin’s Spirit Body managed to restore itself to its original state, even brighter than when it first appeared.
Seeing this, Zhou Yishui’s brow furrowed. He looked up at the massive Spiritual Energy still looming in the sky and understood immediately.
Although Fang Lin’s Spirit Body is weak, a great amount of Spiritual Energy was still gathered in this place, continuously being absorbed by Fang Lin’s actual body, then being transformed into the power of the Spirit Eye, allowing the Spirit Body to continuously recover.
It could be said, under these circumstances, Fang Lin’s Spirit Body could revive over and over again, always standing undefeated.
This is troublesome!
“Come again!” Fang Lin laughed, charging towards Zhou Yishui once again while executing the same set of punches.
“How is this possible?” Now it was Zhou Yishui’s turn to be surprised.
The fighting style demonstrated by Fang Lin was exactly the same as his own, from the Five Elements Sect’s fighting style.
Below, members of the Five Element Sect were going crazy. What’s going on here? Can just anybody learn our Five Elements Sect martial arts? Are they trying to leave us Five Elements Sect members with no way to survive?
The two exchanged blows using the same fighting style, fighting so fiercely that everyone below was swept off their feet.
Zhou Yishui grew increasingly apprehensive as the fight went on. He could distinctly discern that the strength of Fang Lin’s Spirit Body was steadily increasing. Although there was still a gap between them, this gap was steadily decreasing.
Moreover, regardless of the type of martial arts he employed, Fang Lin was able to mimic its use.
“This boy is not to be underestimated. Zhou Yishui’s martial arts were remembered by his Spirit Eye, and then he imitated them. Although he didn’t grasp the essence of it, he managed to mimic about 80% of it.” One elder commented, admiring Fang Lin immensely.
That’s correct, the reason Fang Lin’s Spirit Body could execute Zhou Yishui’s martial arts was because of the existence of the Spirit Eye.
Although he couldn’t fully master it, he could at least imitate it, and this was a mighty feature of the Spirit Eye.
Of course, not all martial arts can be learned by the Spirit Eye. Martial arts with rigid forms can be remembered by the Spirit Eye, but martial arts that have broken away from rigid forms and reached a point of spontaneity could not be imitated by the Spirit Eye.
“Even if your Spirit Eye can imitate, it still just clumsily imitates without understanding the essence!” Zhou Yishui said coldly, deciding not to use any other martial arts from different sects.
Fang Lin stood with his hands behind his back, exuding quite a remarkable aura. But if it were not for the constant sustenance from the nature’s spiritual energy, he would have been completely consumed by Zhou Yishui’s attacks.
To put it bluntly, as long as the nature’s spiritual energy isn’t fully absorbed by Fang Lin in this battle, his Spirit Body will always remain undefeated.
Zhou Yishui’s Spirit Body looked over to his actual body, and saw a purple longsword flying out from the Spirit Eye, whizzing towards him, which was then grasped firmly in his Spirit Body’s hand.
