I can push my cultivation progress to the end

Bang!

While using the steel whip in his hand to shatter ten feet of ground, Li Hai borrowed the reaction force to soar into the sky, flying to a height of several hundred feet in the blink of an eye.

Then, following the vague guidance of his level 3 feral intuition, he turned to face the southeast, his pupils constricting to pinpoints as he gazed at a spot ten miles away.

There, a blurry figure was facing away from Li Hai's location, frantically speeding into the distance at a rate of dozens of feet per second.

This figure fleeing in panic was definitely Zhou Hu, without a doubt.

"Heh, you're quite fast, running so far in such a short time, but… it's all meaningless."

With a sneer, Li Hai extended his arm and wielded the whip, once again using the 'Dragon Overturns the Water' technique.

Boom!

With a violent sonic boom and rolling waves of air, he shot out like an arrow towards the direction Zhou Hu was fleeing.

Zhou Hu's eyes were wide with anger as he gnashed his teeth and ran wildly, not daring to look back even for a moment, fearing that even the slightest delay would cost him his only hope of survival.

"Army Evading, it's definitely Army Evading! Only a Thousand-Army level martial artist could create such a fierce and domineering momentum! But that… that's the realm only my master possesses!"

He roared in his heart as he ran for his life, "Li Hai… he's so young, how could he have cultivated to such a terrifying realm! I have to, I have to escape to my master's place quickly, only he… only he can deal with that Li fellow now!"

Whoosh—

Just as Zhou Hu was fleeing, a slender, fiery-red steel whip shot towards him from behind, instantly piercing through his back and chest, which were as tough as steel, and pinning him firmly to the ground.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, Li Hai!"

Like a pitiful grasshopper firmly fixed to the slender steel whip, Zhou Hu struggled to turn his head and glared at the person coming from behind, roaring ferociously, "You're ruthless enough, Li Hai, to cripple half my body right from the start! Just you wait, my master will avenge me!"

"Your master?"

Li Hai strolled leisurely from behind, saying with composure, "Judging by what you said, he seems quite powerful."

As he spoke, he raised his eyes to look at Zhou Hu's personal interface—

Character Name: Zhou Hu

Level Rank: Orthodox Martial Arts → Steel Tendons Iron Bones

Skills: 《Four Directions Fist》 《Poison Finger》 《Mystic Tortoise Body》 《Formless Sealing》 《Spring and Autumn Blade》

Attribute Tags: 【Soul Fortification Level 2】 【Brute Strength Level 2】 【Toxicity Level 1】 【Iron Body Level 2】 【Technique Level 1】

Fragments of the Strong: None

Zhou Hu has learned quite a few techniques, but the only ones that are truly valuable are 《Mystic Tortoise Body》 and 《Formless Sealing》.

The former is somewhat similar to 《Iron Bucket Plate Bell Scripture》, a technique focused on defense, but it's more profound and goes further on the path of martial arts. If cultivated to its peak, it could even reach Li Hai's Army Evading realm.

As for the latter, it's a technique that doesn't improve attack, defense, or agility.

This technique uses the principle of formlessness against form, nothingness against existence, existence against nothingness, and its only effect is this:

When fighting with others, the practitioner of this technique can forcefully interfere with the opponent's internal energy circulation through the collision of fists, feet, blades, and weapons, thereby causing the enemy's energy to become chaotic and disordered, greatly reducing their combat power, and in severe cases, even causing a drop in their realm.

It's worth mentioning that this martial arts secret technique can also reach the Army Evading realm when cultivated to its peak.

And Zhou Hu, who possesses these two Thousand-Army level techniques, has not yet reached the Thousand-Army level.

Therefore, it can be judged that the person who taught him these two techniques should be the master he mentioned.

"Pah!"

Zhou Hu spat fiercely, sneering, "Li, you little thief, do you think I'll tell you? Just wait to be beaten to death by my master."

Upon hearing this, Li Hai instantly crossed a distance of a dozen feet and came to Zhou Hu's face, giving him a hard slap, then smiled coldly:

"Zhou Hu, Zhou Hu, you're already in such a pathetic state, yet you're still pretending to be fierce. Who are you trying to scare?"

Zhou Hu, with half his face swollen, spat out half a mouthful of teeth and sneered:

"Heh heh heh~ I've been fierce for half my life, and that's more than enough. You can hit me or kill me as you please. If I so much as frown, I'll take your last name."

"Alright, you're tough enough!"

Li Hai gave him a thumbs up, grinned, and said, "But I've always been generous, so I'll give you a chance. As long as you reveal all the information about Zhou Ruigen, I'll spare your life."

"You want to know about that old geezer?"

Zhou Hu was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "Heh, don't even dream about it. Although I'm not on good terms with him, I would never help outsiders. Go eat shit!"

"Good, good, good. You don't want the last chance at life, huh?"

Li Hai put away his smile and said coldly, "Then I'll have to 'entertain' you in my own way."

Hearing these words, a sense of fear inexplicably rose in Zhou Hu's heart.

It was as if something terrible was about to happen to him.

"First, I have to cripple your skills."

As he spoke, Li Hai slowly raised his right hand in front of Zhou Hu, bending his fingers and rotating his palm to form a hand seal that he was extremely familiar with, and faintly emitting an extremely mysterious fluctuation.

"Formless Sealing! How is that possible?!"

Zhou Hu shouted in shock, "This is my master's ultimate technique. Only he and I have learned it in this world. Where did you, you little thief, learn it from?!"

"Where else could I have learned it from?"

Li Hai smiled frankly, "Of course, I learned it from you. I just learned it now. As long as someone appears before me, I can learn all their ultimate techniques at a glance."

"Impossible!"

Zhou Hu roared, his eyes tearing apart, "What nonsense are you talking about?! What kind of ghost story are you telling?!"

"It's already good enough that I'm telling you this much."

Li Hai chuckled, "As for the rest, go guess for yourself."

Having said that, he struck the other person's shoulder with his palm.

Buzz—

Instantly, Zhou Hu felt a cold and strange force penetrate his body, and in a short time, it pierced through his fascia, muscles, and bones, shattering and severing all the strands of energy flowing through these internal regions, turning them into messy clumps of various sizes, like underground chicken coop coal, unconnected to each other.

Thus, a catastrophic chain reaction, like the collapse of dominoes, immediately spread throughout Zhou Hu's body.

In an instant, Zhou Hu was severely injured.

"Wah!"

Vomiting a large mouthful of nearly boiling blood, Zhou Hu looked at Li Hai with bloodshot eyes, roaring in disbelief:

"You… you completely sealed off my martial arts foundation with one move?! This, this is a unique ability that only the highest realm of Formless Sealing possesses. Only my master has reached such a realm. You, you said you just learned it… how is that possible?!"

His mind was completely chaotic.
