Chapter 285: Chapter 285: The Trust That Was Not Betrayed
The knight was still some distance away from the Mutant Sea Serpent, and in Zuo Qinglong's opinion, the knight had thrown his punch too early.
But the next second, Zuo Qinglong heard a terrifying sonic boom, and then saw the Mutant Sea Serpent, still a dozen meters away from the knight, as if it had been pierced by an invisible fist, a huge hole appeared in its body. Its massive body was blasted into the air and crashed heavily into the sea, causing waves several meters high.
"What... what kind of fist technique is that..." Zuo Qinglong stopped in his tracks, staring dumbfounded at the astonishing scene.
The Great Red Bull Knight's immense strength was certainly awe-inspiring, but it was the Spatial Fist Power that annihilated the Mutant Sea Serpent which truly made him feel the power was beyond belief.
"Such Fist Power, isn't it the natural nemesis of Qing Jia's Explosive Punch?" Zuo Qinglong suddenly overflowed with joy and hurried towards the Great Red Bull Knight.
Because Tian Xun had told them not to leave Paradise Island recently, Lin Shen was terribly bored.
One night, unable to hold back, he teleported to Realm King Planet to clear his mind.
Since his Base Mutation rate was already complete and he no longer needed Base Mutation Fluid, Lin Shen had not planned to hunt Base Variant Creatures and was just wandering around.
Who would have known that the Mutant Sea Serpent would be so ill-fated, attempting to rush onto the beach to devour him, so he casually delivered a Surfing Fist.
When the Mutant Sea Serpent crashed into the sea, the huge hole from the punch began to heal rapidly. No longer daring to attack Lin Shen, it turned around and fled back into the depths of the sea.
"I am Zuo Qinglong, may I inquire how to address you?" Zuo Qinglong approached Lin Shen and greeted him with a fist and palm salute.
"Others call me the Great Red Bull Knight." Lin Shen deliberately altered his voice as he spoke, not wanting others to know that he could still enter Realm King Planet while being in an Alien World.
"It really is you." Zuo Qinglong's heart leaped with joy, and he quickly said, "Do you know about Qing Jia's challenge to humans? If it's possible, could I ask for your help to defeat him?"
"Of course, but I have other matters to attend to, and I can only stay here for two more hours at most. Can you find him within this time?" Lin Shen had only intended to come here to relax, so he had set aside just four hours in total and it was almost time to return.
"Two hours, I'm afraid that won't be enough," Zuo Qinglong said with a wry smile.
Although he didn't know where Qing Jia was at the moment, it would take about two hours just to get to the plains. There definitely wasn't enough time.
"Why don't you defeat him yourself?" Lin Shen had a rather favorable impression of Zuo Qinglong.
This person was one for practical action, not minding personal gains or losses.
"I haven't yet figured out a way to defeat him," Zuo Qinglong said helplessly.
"Where's the difficulty?" Lin Shen asked further.
Zuo Qinglong shared his analysis of Qing Jia with Lin Shen. After listening, Lin Shen pondered for a moment and then said, "You just can't break through that Explosive Punch, and that's why you can't defeat Qing Jia."
"Correct," Zuo Qinglong sighed. "That kind of punch is too much of a restraint on Mutators."
"Well, let me teach you a move. If you can master it, you shouldn't find it hard to defeat Qing Jia," Lin Shen offered after thinking it over.
At the Asura Training Camp, Instructor Mu had once analyzed Qing Jia's situation for them, and it was indeed difficult for Mutators to defeat Qing Jia.
However, Zuo Qinglong himself already possessed the strength to battle Qing Jia and was able to break Qing Jia's Overlapping Waves Skill; what he lacked was just a way to break the Explosive Punch, which made things a bit simpler.
The onlookers, having heard Lin Shen say this, all felt that the Great Red Bull Knight was being too arrogant.
Just now, because Zuo Qinglong was too far from Lin Shen, he saw the scene of Lin Shen blasting the Mutant Sea Serpent into the air with a punch from afar, but the onlookers did not see it.
Although Zuo Qinglong was a loser, his analysis was largely agreed upon by most people.
The Great Red Bull Knight not going himself was one thing, but to claim that by teaching Zuo Qinglong a single move, he could defeat Qing Jia was a bit far-fetched.
Many people felt that The Great Red Bull Knight didn't dare to challenge Qing Jia himself, and that's why he was stringing Zuo Qinglong along.
"Really?" Zuo Qinglong thought that Lin Shen could teach him the Spatial Fist Power, and was overjoyed at the thought.
Of course, Lin Shen wasn't about to teach him the Surfing Fist. After dismounting from Big Red Bull, he took out a notebook and began to write and draw in it, and within a short period of time, he had filled it with lots of content.
Tearing off a few pages, Lin Shen handed them to Zuo Qinglong and rode away on Big Red Bull, "Try it and see. If you can master it, it should be of some use."
"That so-called Great Red Bull Knight is just a charlatan, always with tricks and never showing his face. I think he's just afraid he can't beat Qing Jia and would lose face, so he's fooling Zuo Qinglong."
"Zuo Qinglong has gone mad from losing, to actually believe him."
"Zuo Qinglong and so many others attacked Qing Jia together and still lost so badly. What kind of technique could be so powerful that a single move would allow Zuo Qinglong to defeat Qing Jia."
"Let's disperse. It's all a big bluff."
Most people didn't believe such a thing was possible, while only a very few thought, what if a miracle happens?
When Zuo Qinglong wanted to say goodbye, Lin Shen had already ridden far away on Big Red Bull. He looked down at the content drawn and written on the paper.
He saw text and drawings of stick figures in various positions, which seemed to be a movement technique.
Zuo Qinglong immediately realized that The Great Red Bull Knight was teaching him a movement technique that could dodge Qing Jia's punches.
But Zuo Qinglong also found it hard to imagine what kind of movement technique could completely avoid Qing Jia's punches.
Although it seemed incredible, Zuo Qinglong didn't want to give up on the sliver of hope, and decided to study the movement technique The Great Red Bull Knight had left behind.
The movement technique Lin Shen left behind was neither Stepping on the Immortal Court nor an upgraded version of the Surfing Fist, but rather the method Red Heart A had used to break that one finger skill.
Lin Shen was fascinated by the mystic finger skill, so he practiced it when he was training.
However, the method Red Heart A used to counteract it might not be a perfect fit for Lin Shen; no matter how much he trained, he couldn't master it well and it was incompatible with his own Surfing Fist technique, so he gave up on it.
Even though Lin Shen hadn't mastered Red Heart A's method, it was a very powerful movement technique in itself. Only by mastering it could the infinite variations of that finger skill be countered.
It was a technique meant for dodging, and if it could avoid such a mystic finger skill, it likely wasn't too difficult to dodge Qing Jia's punches.
Of course, whether Zuo Qinglong could master it, and to what extent, remained to be seen.
Lin Shen wasn't stingy with a technique, perhaps influenced by Wei Wufu.
Naturally, it was mainly because Lin Shen found Zuo Qinglong rather likable, so it was of no consequence to him.
After studying it for a while, Zuo Qinglong felt that this seemingly simple movement technique actually contained endless variations and mysteries.
Zuo Qinglong knew many eyes were on him. The Great Red Bull Knight entrusting him with such a mystic movement technique was a sign of trust. This exquisite movement technique must be The Great Red Bull Knight's own lifesaving secret, and he could not allow others to see it without The Great Red Bull Knight's permission.
If The Great Red Bull Knight's enemies saw it, it would bring harm to him.
The Great Red Bull Knight trusted him by giving him the movement technique, and he could not fail that trust.
