This kind of thing was not the first time.
Gu Sheng felt a trace of warmth in his heart. Gu Xiaojiang, despite his cold exterior, had a fiery and sincere nature. Once familiar with him, one would find he was actually a straightforward young man.
"Then let’s spar!"
Gu Sheng laughed heartily. He had been considering how to give Gu Xiaojiang some pointers, and now the opportunity had arrived.
The two stood facing each other, focusing their minds, their auras shifting like a steadfast rock anchoring a river. freēwēbnovel.com
The next instant.
With two spirited shouts, one black and one blue figure charged toward each other at lightning speed. They limited their sparring to fist techniques. Gu Xiaojiang deliberately restrained his strength to avoid overpowering Gu Sheng, and Gu Sheng did the same, controlling his level with precision, maintaining it at the level of an average adult.
Especially with Iron Stone Fist, Gu Sheng kept his skill within the entry-level to Small Success stage.
Bang, bang, bang!!
The muffled sounds of fists and feet colliding echoed incessantly through the courtyard. The whistling of fist winds could be heard as the two figures crossed paths repeatedly. Gu Xiaojiang’s eyes were filled with amazement, and he couldn’t help but burst into laughter, saying:
"Asheng, I didn’t expect your Iron Stone Fist progress to be this fast. Truly impressive—hard work pays off, hard work does pay off!"
He threw a punch, muscles bulging, his arm like an iron chain spanning a river, swinging horizontally at Gu Sheng, generating a fierce gust of wind.
Gu Sheng laughed aloud:
"Enough with the flattery—take this punch!"
Gu Sheng was highly perceptive; Gu Xiaojiang’s current realm was completely transparent before him. Every flaw and subtlety was discernible with clarity.
Launching forward like a rampaging tiger, his body seemed as if heavy mountains were pressing down. It appeared riddled with openings, yet beneath the surface, only Gu Sheng himself knew the secret—his force directly swept toward the point of Gu Xiaojiang’s power transition.
To elevate Iron Stone Fist to the Great Achievement Realm only required mastering one specific punch variation. Once grasped, refining the rest would be straightforward.
The two sparred endlessly; Gu Sheng was at a slight disadvantage.
"Try my ultimate technique—Force King Stone Toss!"
Gu Sheng shouted fiercely, his expression solemn. His waist bent like a trebuchet, and his fists transformed into boulders, hurling forward vigorously, smashing toward Gu Xiaojiang.
Gu Xiaojiang, who had previously held the upper hand, suddenly froze. He found Gu Sheng’s move unexpectedly ferocious, causing his heart to waver. Without thinking, he instinctively employed a ’training method’ move. Similarly an iron fist crossing the river, yet this time, it was strikingly different—his arm wrapped around Gu Sheng’s boulder-like fists, unwinding their force and neutralizing the attack with ease.
Switching from a striking technique to a training method—achieved in an instant.
Gu Xiaojiang’s mind felt as though struck by lightning, his thoughts surging with inspiration. He stood dazed on the spot.
Gu Sheng’s punches remained relentless. Seeing Gu Xiaojiang stop fighting mid-sparring, Gu Sheng felt a sense of gratification but feigned irritation:
"Xiao Jiang, you can’t just stop like this! I’m just getting into the mood—Force King Stone Toss is my strongest move!"
Gu Xiaojiang seemed oblivious, merely staring blankly at his own hands. Dazed, he murmured:
"Asheng... I—I think I just achieved enlightenment..."
