Strategy Cloud: Arrogant Soldiers Must Fail
This is because if you underestimate your enemy, it is easy to be caught off guard at the beginning. When a series of relentless attacks come, it won't be so easy to defend.
Just like Xu Feng, at first, he did not take Wei Yuan seriously. It wasn't until Wei Yuan started his plan that a chain of continuous attacks came, and by the time Xu Feng realized what was happening, it was already too late...
Xu Feng suffered a great loss against Wei Yuan, but Shen Qingyi did not underestimate Wei Yuan. From their first encounter, he already knew that Wei Yuan was quite skilled, so when facing Wei Yuan, he maintained a fully focused stance.
However, no matter how cautious he was, he could not have imagined that Wei Yuan's movements were as swift as a ghost, having completely surpassed the limits of the human body.
So it wasn't that he underestimated him; rather, he truly did not expect this, which led to him suffering such a significant loss at Wei Yuan's hands.
It wasn't due to lack of caution; it was simply unimaginable...
Wei Yuan's speed was ghostly fast. In the moment he was thrown away by Shen Qingyi, he executed a magnificent 360-degree turn, forcefully pushing his feet against the wall and using the wall's power to rebound back...
At this moment, Wei Yuan fully showcased the benefits of having undergone Spiritual Energy cleansing; his body's coordination would likely astonish even Yang Ying...
The wall acted like a spring or a drawn bow for Wei Yuan's rebounding turn, assisting him in utilizing his coordination to fly back.
Moreover, at the instant his feet touched the wall, Wei Yuan's body was initially horizontal in mid-air, yet it seemed as if he moved effortlessly on the wall. The rebound gave the impression that he leaped up from solid ground.
Everything was so swift, like an arrow released from its bow. Due to not anticipating such bizarre speed from Wei Yuan, Shen Qingyi was completely unprepared for this.
Thus, amidst Wei Yuan's fierce rebound, Shen Qingyi had no time to resist. Wei Yuan swiftly reached his side and landed a punch on his chest. Without giving Shen Qingyi any chance to counterattack, Wei Yuan used his head to strike his chest again.
The impact was no longer comparable to a simple running charge; under such fierce assault, Shen Qingyi was knocked down to the ground by Wei Yuan's headbutt.
Feeling intense pain in his chest, Shen Qingyi was by no means an ordinary person. In encounters involving fists and kicks, when had he ever been at a disadvantage?
A sense of unbearable humiliation drove him, along with a heightened vigilance in the face of a formidable opponent. After all, Shen Qingyi and Wei Yuan were not engaged in a mere sparring match.
This was a fight for their lives. If either of them had an overwhelming advantage, the other would likely have been dead by now.
In this life-and-death showdown, both were inevitably cautious. When Wei Yuan made his move, he first identified his advantage: his superior coordination and speed compared to Shen Qingyi.
With this advantage, he initially gained the upper hand. However, Shen Qingyi began to take precautions, making it clear that things would not be so simple from here on out.
Of course, Shen Qingyi also had his own advantages; his mastery of strength was far beyond what Wei Yuan could compare to. Moreover, after years of training, his Kung Fu was self-proclaimed as exceptional. His experience was not something Wei Yuan, who had only recently taken up martial arts through a stroke of luck, could match.
After landing on the ground, Shen Qingyi quickly suppressed the pain in his chest and sprang back up like a carp leaping from the water. Perhaps considering Wei Yuan's ghostly agility, he dared not let his guard down again.
Since your speed is fast, I will restrict your movements and see how you can be quick then.
You want to strike? I will strike first; the early bird catches the worm.
With this mindset, Shen Qingyi quickly clenched his fists and charged at Wei Yuan. In the opening and closing of his attacks, there was boundless force.
His Kung Fu was unique, integrating various special techniques and skills from the Purple Robe Pavilion into a cohesive style with its own distinct characteristics. Thus, for Wei Yuan, it was quite difficult to counter at that moment.
Wei Yuan had his own advantages; however, they were not manifesting at all because during Shen Qingyi's assault, although his speed was nowhere near Wei Yuan's quickness, his techniques were complex yet straightforward. He closed off every possible escape route for Wei Yuan.
"Am I being forced into Liangshan?"
Wei Yuan realized that continuing like this was not a solution. Although he skillfully dodged Shen Qingyi's attacks, constantly evading in such a frantic manner was not sustainable.
Compared to Shen Qingyi, Wei Yuan's stamina was depleting rapidly due to all the dodging. Meanwhile, Shen Qingyi had consistently practiced his punches over time, giving him a significant advantage in endurance compared to Wei Yuan.
To understand the previous operation of Spiritual Energy circulating throughout the body, although it indeed brought benefits to Wei Yuan, there were also side effects due to the explosive increase in his overall attributes and qualities.
The immediate issue was that his endurance had significantly decreased. This should not be misunderstood; it does not refer to endurance in a certain context.
Instead, Wei Yuan's physical capacity to sustain activity began to decline because the changes in his body were too drastic. Using a theory from online discussions, while it is true that all his attributes surged, his foundational skills did not improve, meaning his stamina remained at its previous level.
Thus, with the explosive increase in various attributes, his stamina naturally experienced a corresponding decline. It is similar to a person gaining weight; while their strength may increase, their speed will certainly decrease.
After being cleansed by Spiritual Energy, Wei Yuan saw certain attributes such as strength and speed, as well as jumping ability, increase to some extent. However, the downside was that his stamina weakened.
After a period of careful adjustment and training by Yang Ying, he gradually began to recover to his previous peak state.
However, even at his peak, he was just an ordinary person—someone who could easily handle ten or eight opponents like those Wei Yuan could manage now. Compared to Shen Qingyi, this level of stamina inevitably seemed lacking...
At this moment, Shen Qingyi also seemed to realize this issue. When she saw Wei Yuan dodging her attacks, it was clear that he was gradually becoming overwhelmed. Although this individual had good speed and strength, his stamina still fell short...
Having identified Wei Yuan's weakness, she naturally targeted it. Thus, Shen Qingyi became even more uncontrollable, executing her set of punches with great vigor. After finishing one sequence, she would immediately continue, using her strong stamina to test Wei Yuan's endurance.
Although Wei Yuan could certainly find the tricks to counter the same set of punches, even if he found them, he still had to dodge because his stamina had already been depleted by at least thirty percent; he was genuinely starting to feel overwhelmed. Meanwhile, Shen Qingyi remained full of energy.
As both sides assessed their strengths and weaknesses, the outcome became apparent.
Moreover, the set of punches used by Shen Qingyi had significant origins; it belonged to the strong close-combat Kung Fu from the Purple Robe Pavilion, emphasizing a locking technique.
Under such relentless pressure from Shen Qingyi, constantly depleting his stamina, Wei Yuan realized that things were not looking good. While dodging, he did not stop thinking and continued brainstorming ideas.
"It seems I can only go all out now; if I don’t take risks, I won’t catch any wolves. Otherwise, if I let him exhaust my stamina completely, I might not even survive."
After all, Wei Yuan knew that individuals like Shen Qingyi were far from benevolent. During the planning of this incident, fearing that they would be difficult to target if tied together, he had focused all firepower solely on his arch-enemy Xu Feng.
Therefore, Wei Yuan let Shen Qingyi go. It was true that Wei Yuan believed even more that once Shen Qingyi exhausted her strength, she would definitely kill him without mercy. In this matter, only Yang Ying and Yuan Ziyi knew the name Shen Qingyi. Even if he died, they would have no way to deal with Shen Qingyi.
This person might really be a bit dim-witted, but when a person's Kung Fu reaches a terrifying level, even the most foolish person becomes formidable.
After all, it is truly difficult to deceive someone like Ouyang Feng into madness using just a book like the Nine Yin Manual, as seen in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes."
Knowing he was at a disadvantage, Wei Yuan had no choice but to resort to ruthless tactics to turn the situation around. In fact, during this process, he began to understand Shen Qingyi's patterns.
This is the difference between orthodox sects and unorthodox paths.
Wei Yuan had learned quite a bit about the Purple Robe Pavilion from Yang Ying, and as their relationship grew closer, Yang Ying became even more open with him.
Thus, Wei Yuan learned a lot about the routines and techniques of Purple Robe Pavilion Kung Fu, and as someone from such a sect, Shen Qingyi likely learned most of her skills from there.
Therefore, there were fixed patterns; given enough time, Wei Yuan could naturally figure them out. As this person had more techniques, it ironically left traces to follow.
In contrast, Wei Yuan's Kung Fu relied on his own attributes surging dramatically, allowing him to achieve in one day what others could not in ten years of hard training. What supported him was not various techniques but his superior innate abilities.
His physical attributes and coordination were exceptional; even after decades of training, Shen Qingyi could not compare.
Thus, Wei Yuan's Kung Fu did not have clear routines. The saying "no move triumphs over a move" illustrates this principle.
No matter how powerful your techniques are, once someone figures out your patterns, you become constrained. Conversely, when someone like Wei Yuan fights freely and unpredictably, it leaves his opponent at a loss for how to respond.
After considering the situation between them carefully, Wei Yuan decided to take decisive action and place himself in a life-or-death scenario.
Since Shen Qingyi was trying every possible way to restrict his actions with her Kung Fu, he simply chose not to evade and went along with her intentions.
So when Shen Qingyi executed a Dragon Capture Hand technique, instead of dodging, he allowed her to catch him.
Initially thinking that Wei Yuan would continue to evade, once Shen Qingyi truly caught him, she found herself unsure of how to proceed.
Wei Yuan prepared to seize Shen Qingyi, temporarily restricting his movements. However, this was precisely the best opportunity for Wei Yuan to escape, and how could he possibly let it slip away?
Following Shen Qingyi's movements, Wei Yuan allowed his body to go limp like a dried corpse, letting Shen Qingyi pull him closer. Just as Shen Qingyi was about to secure him, Wei Yuan exerted all his strength, focusing on himself, and suddenly charged towards Shen Qingyi.
Using force against force.
Since Shen Qingyi had him in such a hold, Wei Yuan simply followed his momentum and charged forward. At that moment, Shen Qingyi, caught off guard, instinctively swung his arm. This swing inadvertently intensified Wei Yuan's impact.
As a result of Wei Yuan's full-force collision, the unprepared Shen Qingyi staggered slightly, losing his balance and nearly falling to the ground.
However, he still had a solid foundation in martial arts and quickly stabilized himself with a horse stance. Yet, Wei Yuan did not give him any chance; he charged again.
At this point, Shen Qingyi had no intention of engaging in a prolonged battle with Wei Yuan. He threw a punch directly at Wei Yuan's entire body as he charged in, targeting the hardest part—his arm.
With a loud "bang," Wei Yuan's arm made contact with Shen Qingyi's fist.
"This old guy's strength is incredible; his control over power is clearly beyond what I imagined."
The result of their clash surprised Wei Yuan. After taking Shen Qingyi's full-force punch, he found that Shen Qingyi had not been knocked down by his charge; instead, he merely took a small step back.
However, Wei Yuan felt even more strained. He could barely withstand the force of that punch and retreated to the corner of the wall, propping himself up with one foot against it just to maintain his balance.
"Damn it, I refuse to believe you're really that strong."
Ever since Wei Yuan's Spiritual Energy had purified his body, his attributes had skyrocketed in all aspects. Since then, he hadn't truly encountered an opponent.
Although he had decent skills from schoolyard fights, those were merely rough tactics learned through brawling. Against someone who had genuinely trained, he feared it would be difficult...
However, Wei Yuan had not undergone any systematic training, but simply under the cleansing of Spiritual Energy, many of his physical attributes had already reached the level of someone who had practiced for many years.
So, during the last time when he and Yuan Ziyi were being chased, he was not only able to cover for Yuan Ziyi to escape but could also handle seven capable practitioners by himself.
However, those seven individuals were still somewhat inferior compared to the current Shen Qingyi. At least this punch was enough for Wei Yuan to personally feel the gap between them.
Yes, Shen Qingyi indeed had several weaknesses and could even be considered somewhat dim-witted in terms of intelligence, but this only manifested in other aspects.
At least in their life-and-death confrontation, Wei Yuan felt that Shen Qingyi was very clever. Upon realizing that his speed was not as good as Wei Yuan's, he simply used the locking technique to restrict Wei Yuan's speed, making it useless for him to fly...
Then, upon observing that Wei Yuan's stamina was clearly lacking, he targeted this weakness and continuously drained Wei Yuan's energy...
Of course, this did not mean that he was particularly smart; it showed that in combat, he clearly had rich experience, a level that Wei Yuan could not match.
Thus, the more this was the case, the less Wei Yuan could allow him to see through his techniques. Otherwise, it would be difficult to gain an advantage against him.
So, Wei Yuan charged forward quickly once again, still appearing furious, like an enraged bull.
At this moment, when Shen Qingyi saw Wei Yuan like this, he thought that his punch had ignited the anger within him. He dared not underestimate him and tensed up as he watched Wei Yuan charge at him like a raging bull.
"**Mother!"
Wei Yuan shouted loudly and prepared to crash into him. At this moment, the same scene occurred again; Shen Qingyi infused all his strength into his fist and struck at the charging Wei Yuan.
"Haha, I've got you!"
Wei Yuan thought to himself. Just as his body was about to make contact with Shen Qingyi's fist, he suddenly executed a 360-degree spin. Relying on his ghostly speed, he appeared behind Shen Qingyi before he could react.
"**How fast?"
When Shen Qingyi realized what was happening, it was already too late. At that moment, Wei Yuan had firmly grasped Shen Qingyi's shoulders with his own hands and, with all his strength, violently threw him forward.
However, this alone was not enough for Wei Yuan. After a significant boost in his jumping ability and speed, he particularly enjoyed using some high-difficulty moves during combat.
It was almost like playing the game King of Fighters, where he loved to string together several moves in succession; that feeling was especially exhilarating.
So, when he completely tossed Shen Qingyi's body into the air, Wei Yuan did not just stand there waiting to see Shen Qingyi's disheveled appearance upon landing. Instead, he moved like Stephen Chow in the final chaotic scene of the movie Kung Fu, executing a slow-motion side kick in mid-air.
"Ha!"
Wei Yuan swiftly soared into the air. While Shen Qingyi was still suspended in mid-air from being thrown, his movements were like an eagle striking from above. He grabbed Shen Qingyi's body with an eagle claw grip, securing him in place, then channeled all his strength into his legs and suddenly charged toward him.
