Unification of the Five Elements Stance paid attention to the harmonization of qi and blood to nurture the five internal organs while standing in a stance. The five internal organs would be categorized into the five elements to circulate qi and blood. Through this, he could adjust his body to different states.
He could be agile, swift, calm, aggressive, or strong!
These five states corresponded to the five elements respectively, which could allow him to have his power gain five different characteristics. Once perfected, these different characteristics could be condensed into one and explode forth. This could multiply its power.
Just now, Liu Changsheng actually used this stance to adjust his body to the agility state, which was also the water element in the five elements.
Of course, since he was still ranked among the lower three classes, it did not mean that he could produce or spray water through cultivation.
The water element mainly referred to the artistic conception and characteristics.
As water had no fixed shape, it could be agile. It referred to his current body state.
Liu Changsheng dodged the attack through the agility state, but Shopkeeper Qian could not see through its secrets. He just kept on attacking using Five Elements Fist, so it was natural of him to be toyed around. In the end, he was hit and sent flying by an attack, which was to be expected.
Zhou Heng was different. His current level of familiarity with Unification of the Five Elements Stance had reached a high level. Although he had not mastered it, it was not a problem for him to use it to break Liu Changsheng’s stance temporarily by surprise and make him move a few steps.
After all, Liu Changsheng did not know that Zhou Heng had learned Unification of the Five Elements Stance.
Right then, Liu Changsheng saw that Zhou Heng was about to attack with his bare hands. He could not help but remind Zhou Heng. “You’re not going to use a weapon? I heard that you are good at using sabers. How can you do it without a saber?”
“Huh?” Zhou Heng was taken aback when he heard Liu Changsheng’s question. Then, he smiled and said, “It’s good if I have a saber, of course.”
Although he was confident that he could affect Liu Changsheng’s stance with his bare hands, it would undoubtedly be more convenient if he had a saber. The chances of winning would be higher as well.
“All right.” Liu Changsheng nodded slightly. Then, he turned around and said to Zhao Yuan, “Go and get a saber.”
“Yes, Young Master Liu.” Zhao Yuan immediately rushed to the weapon rack at the corner of the morning class’s square. He quickly took a steel saber and handed it to Liu Changsheng.
“Catch it.” Liu Changsheng threw the steel saber to Zhou Heng. Then, he smiled and said, “Come on, use all your power with the saber. Let me see your perfected saber technique. It will only be interesting that way.”
“Be careful then, Young Master Liu.” Zhou Heng laughed. He thanked the simple-minded person, Liu Changsheng, in his mind.
Then, he set up his stance and moved his saber.
Yu He, who was not far away, felt like he was experiencing shortness of breath. He looked at Zhou Heng nervously as he still remembered the scene where Shopkeeper Qian was hit and sent flying instantly.
Although he did not seem to suffer any injuries, it definitely hurt.
After all, Zhou Heng competed with Liu Changsheng because he wanted to let him get this business. Otherwise, there would be no need to do it.
What a good friend he was!
“If he can do it…” Yu He made up his mind. “I must give Zhou Heng seventy percent, no, eighty percent of the money earned from this business! But, can he do it?”
Liu Changsheng was too powerful. Even Shopkeeper Qian, a martial artist who had advanced into the ninth-class for many years, could not match him. He could not even make Liu Changsheng move a step.
Could Zhou Heng, an unranked martial artist, do it?
On the high platform, the three masters of the martial arts schools, including Zhao Yuan, and a group of practitioners were paying attention to Zhou Heng as well. They were calculating how long Zhou Heng could last.
No one thought that Zhou Heng would win.
After all, the battle with Shopkeeper Qian showed everyone Liu Changsheng’s terrifying strength and his flexible dodging while he was in a rigid stance.
It would be difficult for an unranked martial artist to make a successful attack even if he had perfected his technique.
Thousands of apprentices on the morning class’s square stared at Zhou Heng enthusiastically as well. They wanted to see how Zhou Heng lost.
After all, Zhou Heng was an apprentice just like them. He was even an apprentice in a small martial arts school. In their opinion, no matter how talented Zhou Heng was, he was not a divine miracle.
Shopkeeper Qian looked on with a gloomy expression. He hoped that Zhou Heng would lose as badly as possible. It would be better if Liu Changsheng felt that Zhou Heng was too weak and attacked him severely for it.
Whoosh!
Right then, there was a sound of air ripping.
Zhou Heng’s attack directly left a white line in the air. He attacked the lower part of Liu Changsheng’s body at lightning speed.
Everyone on the high platform inevitably shook their heads when they saw this scene.
They thought this young genius, who was getting popular, could deliver a brilliant attack, but they had not expected it to just be like this.
Indeed, the best way to make Liu Changsheng move was to attack the lower part of his body. Shopkeeper Qian did the same thing just now, but he had failed in the end.
Although Liu Changsheng stood there, his calves and thighs were very flexible. It was impossible to hit the lower part of his body if Zhou Heng was not fast enough, so naturally, his attack would not work.
Even if Zhou Heng was using a saber, which had a larger attack range, the final result might not be much better than Shopkeeper Qian.
As expected, Liu Changsheng’s legs seemed to soften when Zhou Heng attacked using his saber. His legs suddenly became twisted and bypassed Zhou Heng’s attack trajectory perfectly.
When Zhou Heng’s attack was about to fail, they started imagining that if Zhou Heng’s attack failed, the distance between him and Liu Changsheng would be shortened. This would give Liu Changsheng the chance to hit and send him flying with his shoulder just like before.
Zhou Heng was going to lose!
He was an unranked martial artist, after all. Even if he had perfected his technique, he was still not powerful enough.
This was the unspoken consensus of everyone present.
The corners of Shopkeeper Qian’s mouth curled up slightly. He smiled and thought to himself. ‘You brat, there’s no way you’ll win when I have lost. Stop dreaming!’
Bang!
But right then, a muffled sound suddenly rose.
Soon, a figure was seen to be retreating. He retreated till he was ten feet away before he finally stopped.
‘Has it ended?
‘Zhou Heng has retreated?’
Everyone who heard the sound looked over, but they were surprised by what they saw.
The person who retreated was not Zhou Heng!
It was Liu Changsheng!
Everyone present had their eyes wide opened. They looked at this scene in disbelief as they could not trust their eyes.
‘How could it be?
‘How could it be?
‘What happened just now? What changes did Zhou Heng’s saber technique have?
‘It actually repelled Liu Changsheng!
‘Besides, not only did Liu Changsheng move one of his feet, but he also retreated more than ten feet away!
‘This is unbelievable!’
Thousands of apprentices were stunned. They were frozen like clay puppets.
‘Oh my God!
‘Is this something an apprentice can do?
‘This is incredible!’
“Great! This is amazing!” Yu He was overjoyed. He was so happy that he almost jumped.
“How could this be? H-How is this possible?” Shopkeeper Qian started to question his life. He even gave himself a few slaps to know whether he was dreaming.
This was too surreal!
In fact, not only were the onlookers stunned, Liu Changsheng, who was repelled, was also a little confused.
He looked at Zhou Heng in surprise and confusion. Then, he asked, “H-How did you do it?”
