Lu Hong made a split-second decision, immediately retracting his hand while also cutting off his output of spiritual power. However, Xiang Beifei''s other fist had alreadye smashing from the other side, hitting his arm and removing the force from his limb. For a brief moment, he found he couldn''t muster any strength!


    In a situation where both parties were evenly matched, being a split second slower meant suffering a significant disadvantage!


    Thud! Thud! Thud!


    Lu Hong truly felt the brunt of Xiang Beifei''s punch as his body stumbled backward five steps!


    "You—"


    Lu Hong looked at Xiang Beifei in shock.


    He wasn''t shocked because Xiang Beifei had pushed him back, but because of—Rapid me!


    This Rapid me seemed entirely different from the attacking style he understood; it wasn''t even urate to call it Rapid me!


    This Cultivation Technique stemming from Lu Hong''s system— he understood the power of Rapid me better than anyone else. However, in his mind, Rapid me was never executed this way. It was beyond hisprehension!


    How on earth did Beifei do it?


    Lu Hong looked at Xiang Beifei with astonishment. But without pausing, Xiang Beifei continued, "Uncle Lu, watch my next punch!"


    Whoosh!


    Xiang Beifei didn''t give Lu Hong a chance to rest. Once again, he closed in for an attack, but this time his fist wasn''t enveloped in mes; it appeared to be an ordinary punch.


    Subconsciously, Lu Hong threw his fist forward to meet the blow head-on—his fist wrapped in me. When it collided with what seemed to be Xiang Beifei''s unremarkable punch, spiritual power on Beifei''s fist took a different direction once more!


    Hum!


    The spiritual power changed its course, turning into a clever force that spiraled around Lu Hong''s arm like a vortex, instantly suppressing the mes that Lu Hong had just conjured.


    Immediately after—


    Boom!


    Another fist me, not his own, red up on Lu Hong''s arm. The scorching fire ignited his shirt. Lu Hong hadn''t expected this turn of events, and hastily used his spiritual power to disperse the mes. But as soon as he diverted his attention, Xiang Beifei charged at him again, aiming a punch at his face.


    Lu Hong inhaled sharply!


    The punch was too fast; if it hit, his nose would undoubtedly be broken.


    However, as Xiang Beifei''s fist neared Lu Hong''s face, it deviated to the side, missing his face. By now, Lu Hong had reacted, transforming his fist into a palm, and with a burst of Rapid me, he struck at Xiang Beifei.


    Xiang Beifei deftly sidestepped, and with his left hand now open, he pped out another palm wind. As their hands met with a thunderous impact, spiritual power on Beifei''s palm shifted eerily once again, wrapping around Lu Hong''s palm.


    Lu Hong felt as if the strange force from Beifei''s hand was like maggots on bones,pletely suppressing his style of Rapid me punching. He was utterly unable to exert force, as Beifei countered with another palm strike to his chest.


    Thud! Thud! Thud!


    Lu Hong was forced back several steps again.


    "I actually lost?"


    Lu Hong looked at Xiang Beifei incredulously.


    The first retreat could have been exined away by his only using the initial strength of Qi-Controlling, but this second pushback signified a genuine defeat.


    The skillful force Xiang Beifei used had drastically boosted the power of Rapid me. With Lu Hong''s realm only at the mid-stage of Qi-Controlling, he couldn''t suppress Xiang Beifei''s offensive. Within seven moves, he was defeated!


    This gave Lu Hong a truly shocking surprise!


    One must know, even if he had suppressed his own realm, hisbat experience and perception abilities were still at the Meridian Opening phase, and he even hadplete confidence that he could use his experience to firmly suppress an ordinary Qi-Controllingte-stage master with his mid-stage strength.


    But this experience waspletely useless against Xiang Beifei!


    Xiang Beifei was merely at the Qi-Controlling mid-stage level of strength, and using his mid-stage strength, he couldn''t suppress Beifei at all—instead, he lost miserably!


    "I losepletely convinced, both inwardly and outwardly," Lu Hong said with a bitter smile.


    He was someone who could ept a loss. Even though he knew that relying solely on his mid-stage Spiritual Power would result in a loss to Xiang Beifei, he still did not forcibly enhance his realm and did not break the rules out of concern that losing to a young kid would be embarrassing for a district team leader.


    For him, rules were rules; if it was said to use mid-stage Qi-Controlling, then mid-stage Qi-Controlling it was.


    "Actually, I knew that it would be very difficult for me to deal with a strong opponent like Uncle Lu using normal methods, so I used Rapid me and yed a little smart while deploying Spiritual Power," Xiang Beifei said.


    Lu Hong suddenly fell into deep thought.


    Losing to Xiang Beifei wasn''t the point, the point was he always felt something wasn''t quite right.


    When Xiang Beifei threw a punch, the way Spiritual Power was deployed appearedpletely different in his eyes; it was still Rapid me, but for some reason, Lu Hong''s Rapid me waspletely countered by Xiang Beifei''s.


    Lu Hong felt his Rapid me wasgging eighteen streets behind Xiang Beifei''s!


    "Wait, this isn''t ying smart, this is..."


    As Lu Hong pondered Xiang Beifei''s so-called ying smart, the way the Spiritual Power was deployed gave him a great revtion. He realized something, turned to his system interface, and then revealed a surprised expression!


    [Detection: Xiang Beifei has improved Rapid me. The opponent''s method of deploying Rapid me has been entered into the database. Current feedback progress is 5%.]


    "This is..."


    Lu Hong became excited!


    Feedback!


    The system actively judged that Beifei was in the process of giving feedback?


    Lu Hong found himself holding his breath.


    He carefully recalled Xiang Beifei''s punching technique, pondered it deeply, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He felt like a huge rock that had been pressing on his chest for a month had finally been lifted, and he felt as if he was basking in the long-absent sunshine, making him feel refreshed!


    "Uncle Lu, is there anything about the way I deploy Rapid me that needs improvement?" Xiang Beifei asked.


    "It''s not that you need to improve, it''s that I need to improve! It''s me that needs to improve! Haha, Beifei, how did youe to think of deploying Rapid me like this?" Lu Hong asked excitedly.


    Xiang Beifei thought for a moment and said, "When I practiced Rapid me, I always felt that the method of deploying Spiritual Power was somewhat superfluous, I felt it too overbearing. Being overbearing is good, the stronger it is the better, but it consumes a lot of Spiritual Power, making it disadvantageous in a prolonged battle. So I considered changing the way these powers circte, and I found it seemed to be able to ovee the original Rapid me. Sorry, maybe this isn''t quite right—"


    "No need to apologize! You did exactly the right thing! No cultivation technique is perfect! Every technique has its ws, and I never expected that you''d find the w of Rapid me; in this respect, you are simply a genius!" Lu Hong eximed excitedly.


    Xiang Beifei smiled, looking at Lu Hong''s system interface.


    Uncle Lu had never taken the initiative to ask him about giving feedback to Rapid me, and if Beifei brought up feedback on his own, Lu Hong might suspect how he knew about the enforced task of his system.


    Although Uncle Lu was trustworthy, some secrets, Xiang Beifei felt, were best kept to oneself.


    Therefore, he chose another way, and by sparring with Uncle Lu, he believed that with Uncle Lu''s judgement, he would certainly notice the uniqueness of it.


    As of now, the system had judged his actions as feedback, and that was enough.
