"What if I imitate you?" Chen Guan slowly adjusted his body, imitating Shang Ziyi's footwork and adjusting the rhythm of his entire body's movements.

Shang Ziyi was able to practice his fighting skills to such a degree partly because of his rigorous training and partly due to his innate talent.

Many people can master fighting skills, and many can be considered formidable, but only Shang Ziyi is known as the world's martial arts arsenal.

Even those Grotto Heaven powerhouses dare not claim to surpass Shang Ziyi if only martial arts capabilities are compared.

Chen Guan also had a decent fighting talent and once thought of himself as a top-tier martial arts genius, but when compared to Shang Ziyi, he felt quite inferior.

Regarding control over his own body, Chen Guan admitted he was lacking; he had no ability to push every bone and muscle to their ultimate limits.

Under normal circumstances, it's nearly impossible for Chen Guan to imitate Shang Ziyi's techniques on the spot.

Let alone temporarily mimic, even if he returned to watch videos of Shang Ziyi, learning frame by frame, perfectly mimicking would not be easy and would require time to practice.

The reason Chen Guan dared to imitate Shang Ziyi in front of him was due to acquiring the Absolute Secret State "Ultimate of the Infinite" from Qin Ziyu.

The greatest function of the Ultimate of the Infinite State is its inclusiveness; it can encompass different types of Primordial Energy, fusing various Alien Elemental Energies into one, without conflict, and enhancing each other instead.

The inclusiveness of the Ultimate of the Infinite also shows in its understanding and insight into various matters, an inclusiveness of thought.

Once the Ultimate of the Infinite State is activated, Chen Guan would have an attitude of inclusivity and understanding towards all things, greatly enhancing his insight ability.

Of course, it's impossible for Chen Guan's body to achieve Shang Ziyi's level, even with Ultimate of the Infinite; that's the result of talent and hard training, not something achievable by insight alone.

But if it's only to comprehend and learn Shang Ziyi's footwork and body rhythm, it wouldn't be too difficult, given Chen Guan's natural fighting talent, coupled with the effect of Ultimate of the Infinite.

Chen Guan reminisced about Shang Ziyi's body rhythm, gradually gaining a sense of it as he moved his feet.

"An ant trying to shake a tree overestimating its capabilities, a fish in a pond daring to dream of soaring like the great Peng; it's just a fool's dream." As Shang Ziyi moved, he threw a punch at Chen Guan.

Chen Guan slightly tilted his head, dodging Shang Ziyi's punch, but suddenly felt a fierce impact on his chin, as Shang Ziyi's other fist had already struck it.

Duan Shulin and Qin Ziyu were both startled; hitting the chin directly like that would surely shatter it.

Clang!

The sound of metal clashing echoed, and Chen Guan's head was thrown back with his body, but that was all.

Power surged from his waist, and his bent body and head rebounded; he had always maintained the Azure Heaven Dominating Body, rendering Shang Ziyi's fist powerless to harm him.

"Body Protection Secret Skill... Weren't you trying to learn from me... yet you're using a Secret Skill..." Shang Ziyi mocked as he attacked.

Chen Guan tried to control his body's rhythm, evading Shang Ziyi's offensive: "I only said I wanted to learn from you, not that I wouldn't use Secret Skills."

"Let's see how long your Body Protection Secret Skill can hold up." Shang Ziyi transformed into a demon, launching a frenzied attack on Chen Guan.

Chen Guan watched Shang Ziyi's footwork and body rhythm, trying to emulate them to avoid Shang Ziyi's assault.

But Chen Guan found that his foot movements and body rhythm seemed to constantly land on Shang Ziyi's rhythm points, which happened to be the points of Shang Ziyi's attack.

Chen Guan lowered his head, and Shang Ziyi hit with an uppercut; Chen Guan leaned left, and Shang Ziyi swung right; Chen Guan leaned right, and Shang Ziyi swung a left hook.

Each move connected, all connected.

Chen Guan took a flurry of hits, not missing a single punch.

If not for maintaining the Azure Heaven Dominating Body, his death would have been a gruesome sight.

Chen Guan felt like he had grasped Shang Ziyi's footwork rhythm and body tempo, but the reality was that Shang Ziyi had completely controlled his rhythm.

This moment reminded Chen Guan of what Shang Ziyi once said to Xiu Yingmei: "If you were not a genius, seeing me would be like a frog in a well gazing at the moon, leaving at least some hope. But since you are a genius, seeing me is like a mayfly longing for the blue sky, understanding the vastness of the heavens, leaving only despair in this life."

It was only after Chen Guan truly attempted to compete with Shang Ziyi in martial arts that he understood how terrifying Shang Ziyi was.

Previously, Chen Guan thought Shang Ziyi was boasting too much and didn't seem so formidable.

Only now did he realize he felt Shang Ziyi was not that formidable because he hadn't really begun to understand and hadn't put effort into martial arts, so he couldn't see how strong Shang Ziyi was.

Another reason was that Shang Ziyi's opponent was Xiu Yingmei, a top-level genius who could comprehend the unparalleled self-existence.

Even such a genius was suppressed by Shang Ziyi.

After personally battling Shang Ziyi, Chen Guan realized that in terms of martial arts, Shang Ziyi was truly as deep as the abyss and as vast as the sky.

His nerves, his muscles, every bone seemed born for combat.

Without using Secret Skills, without relying on Level suppression, Chen Guan simply couldn't imagine who could beat Shang Ziyi in pure skills combat.

Of course, in this world, skills are not the only ability, so Shang Ziyi is not truly invincible.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

Shang Ziyi's constant barrage of fists, palms, fingers, elbows, head, knees, legs, feet, hips, chest, waist, back continually hit Chen Guan all over, unable to breach his Azure Heaven Dominating Body; the sound of metal clashing almost blended into one continuous note.

"This kid seems to have just recently undergone his Second Awakening, his Level shouldn't be high, yet how is this Body Protection Secret Skill so resilient? Even if the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill was cultivated to Level 20, it couldn't be without any weakness, even the eyes are so resistant..." Shang Ziyi was slightly surprised.

However, this was not a problem for Shang Ziyi.

Since he couldn't break through Chen Guan's Body Protection Secret Skill barehanded, he would use a Secret Skill to smash it open.

Shang Ziyi moved his feet, avoiding Chen Guan's palm while his left fist suddenly enlarged, shining with a golden, jade-like luster.

Broken Jade Fist!

A fist technique designed to break Body Protection Secret Skills, its power can penetrate directly to the core, ignoring the defense of a Body Protection Secret Skill to a certain extent and destroying the internal organs directly.

Bam!

This strike from Shang Ziyi's Broken Jade Fist landed directly on Chen Guan's temple.

Such a punch, even with the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, may crack the skull, and the brain inside would be smashed to pulp.

Staggered by the punch, Chen Guan's body swayed to the side, almost falling to the ground.

"That's what you get for trying to imitate me." Shang Ziyi looked coldly at Chen Guan, waiting for him to collapse.
