Chapter 398: Chapter 365 Siti’s Movement Technique

Zhao Lixin and Siti faced each other as they entered the arena.

[Muay Thai (Master Level)]

[Overall Score: S (46%)]

This was Siti’s data.

[Bagua (Master Level), Ground Fist (Master Level)]

[Overall Score: S (41%)]

This was Zhao Lixin’s data; after deciding to pursue a professional career in the Yanhuang Technique, he sought advice from Wu on Ground Fist. He spent the past six months intensively training in ground skills, eventually mastering Ground Fist.

In terms of mixed martial arts, Zhao Lixin’s technique was actually more comprehensive than Siti’s. Yet, even so, his overall score was slightly lower than Siti’s, which showed Siti’s strength in stand-up fighting.

On the stage, the referee quickly signaled the start of the match.

Siti didn’t rush to attack but stood still and provocatively waved Zhao Lixin over.

Zhao Lixin, expressionless, quickly stepped forward into a bow stance, reaching to jab his palm at Siti’s left ribs.

Siti sidestepped and retreated a step to distance himself, dodging Zhao Lixin’s jab.

Zhao Lixin’s feet glided across the floor as he eerily circled around to Siti’s back. Siti quickly reacted, keeping up and turning to face Zhao Lixin.

Zhao Lixin continuously moved his feet, still circling.

His Bagua Wandering Body Step was refined to perfection; initially practiced on solid ground and then on the slick edge of an oiled water tank, he often fell and injured himself. He persisted for three years to master it.

As Zhao Lixin ascended to the master level realm, his Bagua Wandering Body Step reached its pinnacle.

Wu, observing, noticed that every time Zhao Lixin moved, all ten of his toes dug into the ground, propelling him forward.

This was the technique of Qilin Step, which Zhao Lixin incorporated into his Bagua Wandering Body Step, combining speed and agility in a beautifully intricate way. Although Wu was also at the master level, he felt he was no match for Zhao Lixin in terms of movement technique.

Faced with Zhao Lixin’s rapid direction changes, Siti responded calmly, continuously rotating his body to stay directly facing Zhao Lixin.

Zhao Lixin kept moving clockwise at high speed, causing a dizzying effect for the onlookers.

Suddenly, Zhao Lixin changed direction without any pause, switching from left to right.

This abrupt change disrupted Siti’s rhythm, causing a momentary pause in Siti’s turn, which was exactly the opportunity Zhao Lixin seized to swiftly move in and jab his palm toward Siti’s waist.

Siti couldn’t dodge in time. He slightly twisted his torso, took a deep breath, and his lower abdominal muscles bulged, the dark muscles filled with a sense of power.

Wham! Zhao Lixin’s hand jab hit Siti’s lower abdomen.

Siti’s expression changed slightly; he had specially trained in a martial art similar to Hua Country’s Hard Energy Skill, during which he allowed blows from a heavy hammer on his abdomen and heavy weights on his torso.

This kind of Hard Energy Skill was mostly for shows and impractical in real combat because the opponent wouldn’t give time to adjust. However, Siti had trained to the level where he could instantly tense muscles throughout his body to block attacks.

This technique was a notch below Wu’s Golden Bell Shield, as it did not incorporate the flow of qi and blood, but it was sufficient to block the force of Ming Jin.

However, Zhao Lixin’s jab used Muscle Bone Power, giving an extra penetrating force, which made Siti somewhat uncomfortable.

After the strike, Zhao Lixin quickly retreated; Siti immediately kicked his leg forward, bringing a fierce wind, as sharp as slicing with a knife or chopping with an axe!

Zhao Lixin’s toes gripped the ground, his knee twisted, and his whole body instantly changed direction, unexpectedly twisting back.

Horse Jumping Creek!

This was the Xingyi Horse Form movement technique, now being used by Zhao Lixin.

Wu Li saw this scene and a smile appeared on his face. He and Zhao Lixin had sparred many times and had competed in movement techniques, exchanging skills with each other. Integrating the Qilin Step into the Bagua Wandering Body Step was Wu Li’s suggestion. As for the power technique of Horse Jumping Creek, Wu Li had taught it to Zhao Lixin long ago. Seeing Zhao Lixin execute it so smoothly, it was evident that he had been practicing diligently in private.

At that moment, Zhao Lixin suddenly changed direction. Siti’s kicked leg couldn’t keep up, and Zhao Lixin pushed his palm towards Siti’s chest.

Just as Siti was about to be pushed down, his right leg also changed direction, stepping downward, causing his entire body to lean forward.

Snap!

Zhao Lixin’s palm struck Siti’s chest, making Siti’s body shake. Immediately after, Siti’s right leg powered up, took a large step to increase the distance, and then kicked again towards Zhao Lixin.

"Mercury-like Center of Gravity!"

Wu Li, watching from below, had a serious expression and shouted out instinctively.

In that instant, after kicking, Siti rapidly changed into a stepping motion, and after taking a palm strike from Zhao Lixin, he regained his balance without any time to adjust. This was clearly the realm of a Mercury-like Center of Gravity.

"He must have broken through recently," said Li Tongyun beside him.

The reason for this judgment was that Li Tongyun had studied Siti’s earlier competition videos and hadn’t seen this skillful control of his center of gravity.

Wu Li nodded, feeling somewhat worried for Zhao Lixin.

Although Zhao Lixin also executed Bagua techniques such as Fast Hammer, Big Stone Breaking Hand, and Ox Tongue Palm well, his best strategy was still hit-and-run fighting, using elusive movement techniques to find an opportunity, and if a strike missed, he would quickly increase the distance. However, a Mercury-like Center of Gravity stifles this strategy because the core of hit-and-run is to exploit the opponent’s center of gravity during transitions to launch an attack. With a Mercury-like Center of Gravity, one’s center hardly shifts, offering no openings for Zhao Lixin to exploit.

On the platform, Zhao Lixin also recognized that Siti possessed the realm of a Mercury-like Center of Gravity. Having sparred with Wu Li many times, he was familiar with this realm and was always forced by Wu Li to confront head-on, since there was hardly an opportunity for evasion.

Realizing this, Zhao Lixin immediately changed his technique, clenched his fists, bent his elbows, and stepped forward.

Bagua Fast Hammer!

Boom!

A punch collided with Siti’s incoming right leg, immediately followed by another hammer blow directed at Siti’s face.

Siti sneered, relishing this head-on, fierce style as a top-tier Muay Thai Boxer.

He roared like a volcano erupting, his elbows flying out high and low, clashing with Zhao Lixin’s Fast Hammer.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound of muscles colliding mixed with the explosive air, the two figures on the platform exchanging quick blows.

Zhao Lixin swung his arms in wide circular motions, his hands clenched into fists, raising and smashing down with incredible speed! Up, down, up, down! At a glance, he seemed to have grown eight arms, all striking simultaneously, displaying a ferocious momentum!

Siti, no weaker, used his fists, elbows, shoulders, and legs, every part of his body turned into a weapon, relentlessly firing away!

He grew more excited as the fight went on, his eyes red, breathing more and more rapidly, his strength continuously rising!
