Chapter 1557

James had no words to dispute his statement.

It was not that his martial art comprehension was poor, but that his opponent was too powerful.

What kind of martial arts was he practicing?

He had never seen or heard of this technique before.

“What… What kind of martial art technique is that?” James stared at Tyrus incredulously.

“It’s not an advanced martial art technique. I simply flicked my finger. You’ll only be able to use this to

your advantage when you truly comprehend the way of martial arts.

Your True Energy is the core of your strength, and maximizing the power of your True Energy is the

real essence of martial arts,” explained Tyrus.

It sounded like he was boasting about his own skills but it also seemed to be a lesson meant for

James.

He spoke literally and his words were simple enough to understand.

However, it was difficult to grasp from a martial artist’s perspective.

“We’ll meet again.”

Tyrus left the conversation there and began to move away.

“Take this!!!”

James was dissatisfied with the outcome. The situation confused him and to add to that confusion, he

was also suddenly and soundly defeated. As soon as Tyrus turned in response to James’ yell, James

launched another attack.

He charged at Tyrus and struck with the Blithe Fist of Abomination’s Palm Energy.

However, his Palm Energy only crashed into Tyrus’ afterimage.

The illusion dispersed, and the real Tyrus appeared a hundred meters away.

“James, you’re still lacking in your martial arts. You’re no match for me yet. I suggest you continue

training for a few more years.”

Tyrus’ voice drifted in from far away.

His voice gradually faded and completely disappeared.

After Tyrus had vanished, James’ face was clouded over with a serious expression.

A person suddenly appeared and fought with him.

After criticizing him for a moment, he simply left the scene.

James could hardly process what had happened and was unsure who Tyrus was.

“Tyrus Lafleur?

“Is there such an incomparable martial artist in Sol with the surname Lafleur?” James murmured

contemplatively.

He had never heard of such a person before.

The only person with that surname was the Prince of Orchid Mountain from thousand years ago.

The Prince of Orchid Mountain’s real name was Langston Lafleur.

“Could he be the descendant of the Prince of Orchid Mountain?”

The possibility cropped up in his mind.

Thousands of years ago, the Prince of Orchid Mountain’s four major officials eventually founded the

families that comprised the Ancient Four.

Langston was a prince and definitely had countless women. It stood to reason that he must have had

descendants at some point.

If he truly was the Prince of Orchid Mountain’s descendant, it would explain how Tyrus attained such

strength and talent in martial arts.

“Huff!”

James took a deep breath as he thought about the possibilities.

It was true that the stronger he grew, the more powerful people he encountered.

James heard from Thomas that the Blood Race was the scariest clan to inhabit this world. They had

the longest lifespan and even have members that have lived up to 500 years.

Who would have thought that he would encounter another powerful martial artist?

James was unsure of whether Tyrus was a friend or foe.

It would be troublesome if he were an enemy.

“Is my martial art comprehension really that lacking?”

James rubbed his chin and reflected on himself.

“Perhaps it’s true. Apart from swordsmanship, I have not learned any other kinds of martial arts.”

James decided to widen his horizons and study other martial art techniques when he had the time.

Even if he could not master it completely, it would at least broaden his scope of knowledge.

Nine Scriptures of Ordeals contained many martial art techniques, including ones on swords, guns,

staves, fists, and palms.

It was no exaggeration to say the Nine Scriptures of Ordeals was an encyclopedia of martial arts.

Moreover, it recorded the best martial art techniques in the past thousand years as well as everything

the Polaris Sect’s founder had learned throughout his life.
