Eunuch Chen Jing had no choice but to meet the blow head-on. Feeling the subtle shifts in Prince of Shicheng Hua Tianxiong’s punch, he couldn't help but feel a surge of genuine respect. Hua Tianxiong’s aptitude for martial arts was extraordinary; during their practice session, he had managed to refine the first strike to such a masterful degree. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and Eunuch Chen Jing grew even more cautious as he traded blows, employing his own Vajra Fist to engage with the Prince.
Soon, however, as Hua Tianxiong moved to the second form, "Azure Dragon Probes Its Claws," Eunuch Chen Jing noticed that it lacked the raw power of the first. Usually, in martial arts, subsequent forms are more potent than the ones preceding them, but this was the opposite. He was bewildered—had Prince Hua Tianxiong somehow pushed the first form to the legendary stage of Great Perfection?
While Eunuch Chen Jing remained uneasy, another quarter-hour passed. Hua Tianxiong repeated the second form of the Vajra Fist dozens of times until, suddenly, it erupted with power far surpassing the first. Like the opening strike, it was flawless and left no opening, forcing Eunuch Chen Jing to respond with the same move. This time, he felt a surge of strength that rivaled his own.
