Catastrophe Card King - Chapter 541
Chapter 541: Chapter 187 – 4
Leonard Churchill remembered the incomplete Secret Manual of Martial Skills specifically for Air Skill Masters, which Nine Brown had given him earlier.
The most essential wisdom of an Air Skill Master in the manual was about the use of “Air”!
With profound Curse Power condensed into air, the fists vibrating into waves, using air as an armor, twisting air to relieve force…
No wonder Abel’s technique felt so familiar, it was almost identical!
Isn’t this the same principle as the “Tiger Cannon Fist”?
Isn’t this the basic use of “Air” in the Shepherd Wandering Body Palm?
“So that’s how it is…That’s what ‘Controlling Air’ is.”
Leonard Churchill thought of this and suddenly grinned.
At the moment of this sudden realization, what he couldn’t comprehend before seemed to instantly make sense.
The law of air flowing, the sequence of muscle exertion… all was clear.
As he watched Abel’s movements, the words described in the Secret Manual immediately floated up in his mind.
Previously, he couldn’t fully comprehend it all.
But now, with somebody enacting it live before him, all of it suddenly came together.
Leonard Churchill didn’t dodge anymore, but solidly took several punches, tasting the subtle changes in the opponent’s fist strength.
Simultaneously, the Enlightenment kept prompting him.
‘You have learned ‘Controlling Air Entry Level’, proficiency +33…’
‘You have learned ‘Controlling Air Entry Level’, proficiency +31…’
‘You have learned ‘Tiger Cannon Fist Lv0 (2/300)…’
…
The ultra-high Enlightenment powered by the Demonic Solution allowed Leonard Churchill to learn and master what he was seeing at an accelerated pace.
He suddenly grinned, “Tsk tsk…So the Demonic Solution of JOKER has this learning effect.”
…
Seeing Leonard Churchill suddenly change his fighting style, Abel had a bad feeling.
Although he didn’t understand why he suddenly wanted to “get hit” now.
Looking at Leonard Churchill’s gradually rising smirk, Abel’s expression changed instantly.
Because at this moment, he noticed that the opponent’s punch had landed on his Gang Air!
Although the punch strength wasn’t painful, it did manage to land for the first time.
“How is that possible?”
Abel was tremendously shaken.
Without an extraordinary understanding of “Air”, how could he have possibly landed a hit on me?
As someone who had been immersed in Air Skill for many years, Abel knew all too well the difficulty of achieving Enlightenment in “Controlling Air”.
He had spent almost ten years in hard cultivation before mastering this wisdom.
However, what terrified him was yet to come.
After the first punch, he found that every punch from the opponent had landed on his Gang Air.
This meant the opponent had completely understood the mystery of “Controlling Air”.
How could this be…
Earlier in their clash, Abel was certain that his opponent was just someone who had a superficial understanding of Air Skill.
And now after just a few rounds, he’s mastered it?
…
Leonard Churchill watched Abel’s changing expression, the humor at the corners of his mouth growing ever wider.
It wasn’t just this Enlightenment he derived from Demonic Solution and the great horror of life and death.
The Enlightenment kept updating.
‘Tyrant Body skill proficiency +15’
‘Undying Curse skill proficiency +21’
‘Two-pole collapse skill proficiency +24’
‘Wolf Fang Wind Fist skill+…’
‘You have learned ‘Shepherd Thirty-two Way Wandering Body Palm Lv0 (23/1000)’, proficiency +11.’
….
All the skills almost skyrocketed at a proficiency rate dozens of times higher than usual!
He had already thoroughly read the Secret Manual of the Palace Palm earlier, and now after watching a few times, he had learned it!
Although he hadn’t learned the entire Shepherd Thirty-two Way Wandering Body Palm, he had mastered the entry-level “Tiger Cannon Fist”!
At this moment, Abel launched a heavy attack again.
Seeing this, Leonard Churchill’s fists suddenly condensed into ripples, and without any attempt to dodge, he threw a heavy punch.
“Boom!”
The wave of energy rippled outward.
Both sides flew backwards at the same time.
After retreating over a dozen meters, Leonard Churchill wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, bared his white teeth, and burst into a boisterous laugh, “Hahaha…”
On the other side, Abel, although not heavily injured, was stunned, looking at his own fist with disbelief.
He definitely wasn’t seeing things. The “Tiger Cannon Fist” that this guy just used was his?
This was his unique skill! How could this guy know it?
He didn’t know it before… Why suddenly now?
Abel felt as though his mind couldn’t keep up.
He suddenly thought of a possibility he himself couldn’t believe: could it be… he just learned it?
Abel contemplated this idea, and as he looked over at Leonard Churchill, he felt an unprecedented panic.
Yes!
Panic!
The kind of panic one feels from the enemy’s learning ability!
He didn’t dare to imagine how much more the other party would learn if the fight continued like this.
Abel was very clear that once the threshold of “Controlling Air” was crossed, this person’s power would increase dramatically.
Just now, he was full of confidence, but now, he had no confidence at all that he could kill this man standing in front of him.
…
Onlookers also observed this astounding scene.
Ordinary people could not see what was different about the clash of fists just now.
However, people with high discernment like Catherine Carter saw it at a glance.
“Did that guy actually learn it?!”
Catherine Carter was familiar with the ways of various professions and also knew about the Air Skill Master’s “Controlling Air” theory.
Just now, seeing Leonard Churchill being cornered, she knew he was greatly disadvantaged.
She originally thought that Leonard, being the same type of skill master, was at a disadvantage and had no chance of winning.
However, unexpectedly, he just learned the enemy’s method?
Catherine Carter was excited and surprised.
She clearly knew that Leonard had not grasped this mysterious skill before.
The only explanation is that he just learned it!
Although the great terror between life and death can bring one to a realization.
Catherine Carter was currently in this mental state.
But it wasn’t enough!
A flash of insight crossed her mind, she seemed to understand something, looking at the clown illusion behind Leonard, she muttered to herself, “The Demonic Solution — such a strong learning ability!”
But more importantly, it’s the man!
That guy, what extreme abilities he’s wagered his life on!
Seeing this scene, Catherine Carter was inexplicably infected, as though a surging combat power was building in her heart.
Even if she dies in pursuit of this, it would be enough!
At that instant, when her heart was stirring with heroic emotions, Catherine Carter seemed to realize something. The Demon God’s Phantom behind her suddenly shone brightly.
…
It wasn’t just Catherine Carter who understood this scene.
It was also Young Master Kak.
He originally thought the siege was an absolute sure-fire, but now it seems there’s been a change in the situation.
Kak watched as Leonard somehow learned a technique, withstanding the attacks of his underlings.
He guessed it may be due to the unknown Clown Demon God.
Looking at his cousin also shining with combat power, it seemed she had perceived some great fortune.
If this continues, fears arise of a change in the situation!
Kak, without hesitation, issued an order: “Kill him!”
Although his hurried arrival didn’t allow him to bring too many top-level fighters, there was still a Fifth Tier guard!
Previously, he didn’t think it was necessary, but now, it seems that they had to take action.
The Fifth Tier guard intended to quickly dispatch Leonard.
However, at that moment, an unexpected scene occurred.
A languid voice echoed out from the shadowy area of some ruined building.
“Hey hey hey … don’t make rash moves here.”
Everyone turned to look, and a man wearing a hunting deer hat and holding a black umbrella strolled over unhurriedly.
It was none other than the great detective from Dragon City, Robin Smith!
