Martial research master

Huang's body laid at a small distance away, blood draining out of it. Li Meng, who had just finished his attacks, stood far from it, looking disappointed. 

"Just a single skill addition was all it took to crush him. Just what idiotic breakthrough did he make in the last two battles. I expected him to show me something incredible, but I am feeling pity for him as of now. I have just wasted a lot of my time here." He then turned towards the other two.

"You seem to have recovered some of your powers. "He commented on Li Xuanfa's situation. " I initially hoped for him to show me something incredible amid the battle, but that seems to be his limit. I guess we can try the same situation with you." He then threw a small wooden box towards Li Xuanfa.

"What is this?" Li Xuanfa asked with an alert tone.

"Open it and see for yourself." Li Xuanfa struggled to open the box up. A powerful medical smell spread throughout the battlefield. Assaulting Li Xuanfa's nose. He could feel his Qi rotating faster than usual just by smelling the pills that were within the box.

"What is this?"

"This is a pill I formulated out of grade 5 Healing herbs from around the world. It is one of the core medicines I use in my daily life. There is enough for you to gain your original strength back. Eat them." Li Xuanfa didn't have a choice but to follow Li Meng's instructions. Subconsciously he was excited too as he knew that the healing properties of these pills are immense.

When Li Xuanfa put the pills in his mouth, they dissolved instantly forming an elixir solution that cleansed his body and began to heal all external and internal energies it had until now. To Li Xuanfa's surprise, even the law-based injuries were mended which meant that the alchemist who formulated them is at least at the very peak of grandmaster level and had imbued in his law energy into the pills.

Li Xuanfa could feel his bones being reattached, his tendons recovering, his flesh regenerating and his Qi becoming more and more vigorous as time went by. He had recovered back to 800 % of his strength after taking half of the pills in the wooden box. To his surprise, the medical effect remained the same even after taking such a large quality of these pills. It certified how powerful they were.

"Why did you give this opportunity to me?" Li Xuanfa asked. The Pills were too valuable to be wasted on him in this situation.

"Didn't you hear what I said? I want to be entertained. My first test subject failed my expectation and hence you will take his place. Prepare yourself. We will start the fight after 20 breaths." A heart demon had already been formulated in I Xuanfa's body, and this action had an even deeper impact than the last one.

His enemy was using him for his entertainment.  He prepared his most powerful move. To his surprise, though, Li Meng canceled out the berserker art and the blood essence spear he used during the confrontation with Huang. He simply took out a pair of gloves from his storage ring and put them on.

"I guess I will be experiencing the Dominator fist art." Li Xuanfa said.

"No. I don't need that to deal with the likes of you. If I were to consider overall prowess, you are far beneath that guy. He doesn't know how to use transformation art properly and he doesn't even have the basic arts which come before his art. On the other hand, I guess that the Black-Devil church has the full art of Nine-Yin."

It just goes on to conclude that your art is far beneath his. Hence, I don't need Dominator's fist to test you out. I will use another set of fist techniques which is a core part of the force that I belong to." Li Meng had decided to use the Strikes of Thunder art against Li Xuanfa. He had specially created this pair of gloves for the execution of the arts.

Li Xuanfa assumed that Li meng was undermining him, whereas, in reality, only Li Meng knew how powerful the Strikes of Thunder was. Just the first move was comparable to the second move of Dominator's fist. It was a core art based on which Li Meng developing Dominator's fist.

"Here I come." Li Xuanfa had just executed his Nine-yin art when Li meng rushed at him and waved his hand at full force. The Nine-Yin energy that surrounded Li Meng was broken apart by the powerful force and LI Xuanfa was blasted back. He stabilized his movements faster than Huang could. 

If talent were to be compared between the two, Li Xuanfa would come at the top since he had talent in every area of combat. Huang's art is best suited for a massive battlefield where he would have an unending supply of blood energy. Another aspect was their battle instincts. Li Xuanfa had polished his skills for a very long time with actual combat.

" Since you are undermining me, I will show you my true power." Li Xuanfa thought in his mind. He then made a series of hand signs and the energy being released from his body slowly began to change. Soon enough the previous battle armor had morphed into a giant figure which enveloped Li Xuanfa completely.

"This is my ultimate move. It is the core art that only I was able to learn in the last century. It is called Yin-Devil Transform." Li Xuanfa then jumped at Li meng with all his strength, brandishing his fist at him. Li Meng responded to the attack with Strike of Thunder. The two men were equivalent in strength and a series of moves were exchanged.

The fists on either side weren't even visible to the naked eye, as the area around them was crushed. The area was filled with dust as the view was restricted. The two figures continued their brawl even in this condition. For the first time in the whole incident, Li Meng could feel his fists going numb even after using Strikes of Thunder. This Yin-Devil transformation is quite powerful.

Li meng finally choose the use the second move of Strikes of Thunder and finally he was able to match up with Li Xuanfa. Yet he could feel that Li Xunaf's transform was getting more and more powerful as time passed by.

............….

"The art must be a battle-related one which gets more and more powerful as time goes by. You need to end the battle fast."

'You mean to say that he might undergo a breakthrough if we continue to fight."

"He is bound to undergo a breakthrough. He will become more powerful as time goes by." 

"Then I might be able to test my limits with him."

...................................

Li Meng began to delay the battle, and Li Xuanfa was getting stronger as time went by. The devil so formed was getting larger and larger, and Li meng even felt that Li Xuanfa might be losing control over the devil. Finally, when the devil reached a height of 2 meters, the energy began to morph.

"Finally." Li Meng had an excited look on his face.
