Chapter 200: Fleeting Prosperity, the Lotus Canopy

It was widely known that Fu Ning had previously suffered injuries.

Therefore, Red Sun Scenic Master's explanation at this moment did not arouse suspicion from others.

It only made people think that Fu Ning was a determined and resilient young man.

"But compared to that, Fu Ning's 'Lotus Palm' is still lacking."

As Red Sun Scenic Master said, at this moment on the stage, Fu Ning and Nankai Xiu both took a few steps back.

However, Nankai Xiu managed to stabilize herself in the end, while Fu Ning swayed after stabilizing.

It can be seen that Nankai Xiu's palm strength is slightly stronger than Fu Ning's.

After all, she has been practicing for a longer time and has already reached the realm of the Upper Little Yellow Courtyard, just one step away from breaking through to the Great Yellow Courtyard.

On the other hand, Fu Ning has only recently entered the Middle Little Yellow Courtyard, so there is a natural difference in elemental power.

However, even so, Fu Ning's palm surprised Nankai Xiu.

She had immersed herself in the 'Lotus Palm' for many years, and even White Lotus Scenic Master praised her understanding of palm techniques.

But she didn't expect that this junior in front of her, who had just joined the sect half a year ago, could withstand her palm without being defeated.

"It is indeed extraordinary."

Nankai Xiu's gaze sharpened, and her fighting spirit became more intense. Since that's the case, she would test him.

With this in mind, she took another step forward.

As she took this step, it seemed as if a network spread out from under her feet, and her elemental power increased twofold.

"Oh, this footwork is interesting."

Black Feather Scenic Master on the high platform brightened up.

He had always had a deep understanding of escape techniques and footwork, and at this moment, he could tell at a glance that Nankai Xiu's footwork was exceptional.

Red Sun Scenic Master beside him also nodded, "Indeed, this footwork is steady."

After speaking, he glanced at Fu Ning on the stage, deep in thought.

At the same time, Fu Ning narrowed his eyes and also noticed that Nankai Xiu's footwork had some connection with her palm technique.

Before the first round of the competition, Fu Ning had already noticed that there seemed to be a link between Nankai Xiu's footwork and palm technique.

Before she could finish speaking, she launched another palm strike.

As expected, this palm strike was noticeably stronger.

When the 'Lotus Palm' descended, a phantom of a Pure Hibiscus appeared around her, and the palm strength spread outwards from Nankai Xiu as the center.

The strength of the 'Lotus Palm' lies in two aspects.

One is its vastness, as it covers a wide range with a single palm strike.

However, the palm strength does not weaken due to dispersion. Once it hits the target, the palm strength will transform from virtual to real, layer by layer, converging and attacking the target.

The second aspect is its continuity, as the palm strength continues without interruption after a palm strike.

So even though Fu Ning knew that his 'Lotus Palm' was no match, he could only face it head-on.

Using the 'Lotus Palm' to counter the opponent's palm strength.

Bang!

The palms collided, and both of them retreated again.

But this time, Nankai Xiu only took two steps back before stabilizing her figure, while Fu Ning had to take three steps before barely stabilizing himself.

"Her palm strength has indeed increased a lot."

Fu Ning frowned, exhaling a breath of turbid air.

But before he could catch his breath, Nankai Xiu took another step forward.

This time, another network extended from under her feet.

"Watch my palm!"

Bang!

The Lotus Palm collided once again.

Although Fu Ning only retreated four steps this time, he felt his blood and qi surging throughout his body.

Indeed, formidable!

Before Fu Ning could catch his breath, Nankai Xiu took two more steps and unleashed two palm strikes.

Bang! Bang!

In the midst of the confrontation, Fu Ning could only hastily respond.

As a result, his body flew backwards directly, and waves of palm force swept over.

By the time Fu Ning stood firm, he had already retreated more than ten steps. When he looked back, one foot was already hanging on the edge of the arena.

"Careful, danger!"

"It seems that Junior Brother Fu is about to lose."

"Indeed, Senior Sister Nan's palm force is too strong."

The disciples below the stage couldn't help but gasp at this scene.

But Fu Ning on the stage also thought, "That was close!"

However, soon his expression calmed down, and he became even more composed than before.

[Tied Knot Memory, obtained Fragmented Illustration, Origin Spirit Skill: Hibiscus Step]

[Hibiscus Step (Fragmented)

Completeness: 21%

Description: Origin Spirit 'Pure Hibiscus' can absorb water from the meridians and return it to the origin, evolving this footwork. It can consume and utilize elemental energy.

Each step taken can increase the layer of elemental energy.

After taking seven steps, it can evoke the Inner Scenic Diagram 'Hibiscus Canopy'.

Weakness: Cannot be sustained for long.]

"Hibiscus Canopy!"

Seeing these four words, Fu Ning suddenly realized.

At this moment, when he looked at the footsteps that Nan Kaixiu had just taken, they were about to form a complete network of lotus veins.

"So that's how it is!"

'Hibiscus Step' can only store elemental energy and enhance attacks.

But Nan Kaixiu's goal is obviously not just that. Her true purpose is to evoke her own Inner Scenic Diagram.

I'm afraid that if she takes one more step, the lotus vein network will be completely formed, and then she can evoke her Inner Scenic Diagram!

The Inner Scenic Diagram is the power derived from the rules of the Scenic Scholar's evolution. Each Inner Scenic Diagram requires certain conditions to be fulfilled.

For example, Fu Ning's 'Divination' requires heating the turtle shell of the Scenic Palace with fire to create cracks.

'Engraving Bones' requires condensing true words with palm force, and then hitting the target with 'Engraving Bones Palm' to imprint the true words into the target's body.

'Tied Knot' must be activated at the moment when the opponent uses Origin Spirit and Inner Scenic Diagram, in order to collect the target's illustration.

So, Fu Ning's immediate priority is to stop the opponent from continuing with the footwork.

But how can he stop her?

The illustration states that it "cannot be sustained for long," but Nan Kaixiu is still spirited and shows no signs of fatigue. The so-called "cannot be sustained for long" should refer to after evoking the Inner Scenic Diagram.

But now Fu Ning has no retreat, he can't wait until the opponent takes the sixth step.

So the method he thought of is to suppress the opponent's palm force.

And Nan Kaixiu has already taken five steps. If she takes one more step, her palm force will increase by at least sixty percent.

And for Fu Ning to suppress her, his palm force must surpass hers.

But obviously, it is impossible for Fu Ning to achieve this with just one palm strike.

But... what about two palms? Three palms?

If it were someone else, they might not be able to simultaneously strike with multiple palms in a short period of time.

But Fu Ning is different because he is a disciple of Red Mountain and has already comprehended the 'Jade Rabbit' Origin Spirit.

The Jade Rabbit Origin Spirit has a characteristic called 'Continuous Strikes'.

It can consume a large amount of Origin Qi to continuously perform specific techniques, equivalent to trading blue for cooldown time.

Fu Ning's thoughts were countless, but only a moment had passed.

Soon, Nan Kaixiu took her sixth step, and the 'Hibiscus Palm' was already poised to strike.

However, before she exerted her force, she deliberately restrained thirty percent of her elemental energy.

Because in her view, Fu Ning was already in a hopeless situation, and she only needed to knock him off the stage.

But just as she struck, Fu Ning also swung his arm at the same time.

A surging palm force was unleashed, two 'Hibiscus Palms' in succession.

As they were about to collide, the people below the stage held their breath.
