CHAPTER 578: CHAPTER 542 POWER

Adam had exhausted his Divine Descent Technique, his godliness, power, and body all reaching the pinnacle of Grandmaster!

This situation was somewhat similar to Wu Li’s Heavenly Tilt, except that when Wu Li used Heavenly Tilt, only his body value was enhanced, which meant surpassing human limits. As for his Divine Value and Power Value, they were still within the Grandmaster Realm.

"It’s quite interesting."

Wu Li looked at Adam in front of him, reminded of Captain Siti from the Thailand Team whom he encountered during the Combat World Cup. During his bout with Zhao Lixin, Siti had used a self-hypnosis technique that triggered a beast-like nature, gaining an effect similar to using a stimulant.

Now, the technique Adam had used was similar to Siti’s, but undoubtedly superior, granting him a comprehensive enhancement.

"Here it comes."

Adam, with a cold gaze, faced Wu Li and spoke.

Boom!!

In the next instant, the ground was like it had been struck by a Heavy Hammer, cracking open!

With one stomp, Adam disregarded the ten-meter distance between them and instantly appeared in front of Wu Li.

He stretched out his right hand, fingers splayed, and grasped at Wu Li’s face.

Wu Li’s expression grew solemn in the face of such a straightforward attack.

Adam’s grab carried the aura of having the world within his grasp, as if a deity were reaching down to explore the mortal plane!

In response to this strike, Wu Li’s left hand swung horizontally and outward, deflecting Adam’s arm with an unadorned Xingyi Horizontal Fist Power.

Adam’s left fist thundered out, still aimed at Wu Li’s face.

The punch was like a Cannon Fist combined with a Straight Punch from Boxing. It wasn’t fast but was heavy with intent!

It seemed as though it could blast a hole through the heavens and pierce through the earth, carrying the might to destroy both sky and land!

Wu Li understood how Zhang Daolong had lost. Xingyi Fist inherently emphasized aggression, but with Zhang’s Realm, against the bombardment of Adam’s Fist Intent, he likely fell behind from the first blow, growing weaker as the battle progressed.

However, Wu Li was not Zhang Daolong; he was the World’s No.1.

After dominating Japan single-handedly, his Divine Value had reached the peak of Grandmaster. Even now, as Adam deployed Divine Descent, he couldn’t surpass Wu Li in terms of aura.

Facing Adam’s Straight Punch, Wu Li countered with his own. Their fists met, and Wu Li was the one to retreat a step.

This scene left the onlookers at the tavern dumbfounded. This white man who had suddenly appeared was strong to such an extent?

As Wu Li took a step back, a smile spread across his face.

"Good!"

His entire body’s muscles began to swell, his sinews and bones stretching rapidly, and he seemed to grow larger in an instant.

Heavenly Tilt!

Seeing Wu Li use Heavenly Tilt, Adam remained expressionless and dashed forward with another Straight Punch aimed at the face.

Wu Li didn’t yield, throwing out a punch from his position.

Boom!!

Their fists met, and this time both men retreated a step, seemingly an even match.

However, Adam’s punch had been aided by momentum, while Wu Li had punched from a standstill; in terms of absolute power, Wu Li was indeed stronger!

Sure enough, in the next moment, Wu Li advanced with a step forward and exchanged punches with Adam again, this time driving Adam back.

The two went back and forth, their Techniques exceedingly simple yet direct, but the intensity was astonishing.

Every clash of their fists sounded like thunder, their forceful steps cracking the concrete pavement and scattering debris.

Crash!

Several windows on the first floor of the hotel shattered from the impact of thrown stones, startling the spectators upstairs. It seemed as if they were watching two aliens clashing in combat.

Boom!

After exchanging blows once more, Adam didn’t retreat this time, but instead his body twisted like the circular motions of Tai Chi, deftly neutralizing Wu Li’s fist power, then his left fist struck out at Wu Li.

Wu Li launched a palm strike as if pushing a mountain, employing the Reverse Sumeru!

Adam’s punch was deflected back, while he turned once again, neutralizing Wu Li’s power and simultaneously directed a right punch towards Wu Li.

Rotating about his spine as an axis, like a spinning top, he continuously maneuvered left and right, neutralizing the force while also borrowing force to strike.

This was undoubtedly an extremely clever defensive ultimate move. It’s worth noting that Wu Li’s Tai Chi was by no means weak in borrowing force to strike, yet it was still redirected by Adam.

"Finally, a fight to enjoy!"

Wu Li, rather than being shocked, was elated and exclaimed loudly.

Indeed, he could finally fight to his heart’s content.

Ever since he conceived the Heavenly Tilt, all the opponents he faced couldn’t stand up to him for more than a few moves once he used it; thus, Wu Li hadn’t truly enjoyed a satisfying battle for a long time.

Now, Adam was standing up to his Heavenly Tilt head-on. How could this not thrill Wu Li?

Boom!

Wu Li didn’t switch techniques but instead lashed out with even more ferocity; his punching wind roared like a tiger, thunderous!

After employing Heavenly Tilt, his strength had already reached non-human levels, but now it was still escalating step by step!

The movements of the two were so fast that they became a blur, but the sound of their punches grew louder, especially Wu Li’s. With every step, he left a crack in the ground, and his techniques were deceptively simple—just alternating between a left fist and a right palm strike.

It seemed he wanted to vent his power in this straightforward, brute force manner, to see how long Adam could hold out.

Facing Wu Li’s violent assault, Adam’s focus didn’t waver in the slightest.

Then, in an instant, he grabbed hold of Wu Li’s wrist and yanked forcefully outward.

Wu Li leaped forward in response to Adam’s pull and then reversed his hand to grasp Adam’s wrist, attempting to employ grappling techniques.

Adam likewise sought to grapple, so the two of them ended up pulling at each other’s arms.

At their level of mastery, what seemed to be a simple push and pull was actually laden with multiple layers of power secretly applied, incorporating various changes to neutralize each other’s strength while also imposing their own.

After several exchanges of power, Adam’s arm surged with blood and energy, clearly utilizing a stimulative technique that roused blood and energy, further intensifying the power in his arm.

And it didn’t stop there: seconds later, Adam’s blood and energy underwent another shift. He used yet another stimulative ultimate move to boost his strength yet again!

After two power enhancements, Adam decisively abandoned grappling and switched to an offensive approach.

Wu Li also realized why Adam had sought to grapple with him first—it must be that after employing the Divine Descent Technique, using techniques that stimulate blood and energy placed a heavy burden on Adam, which couldn’t be done in an instant and required a buffer. The grappling contest provided just that opportunity.

All of this seemed straightforward, but the difficulty was immense. Any slight mistake, and Adam’s plan would be thwarted, yet he proceeded like a deity with impeccable calculations, accounting for every detail. Even against Wu Li, proclaimed as the World’s No.1, he step by step achieved his goals.

On the other hand, Wu Li was in the state of Heavenly Tilt, a method already significantly stimulating to blood and energy, thus he couldn’t further enhance his strength using techniques like the Sumeru Seal or Transformation of Peng.

Adam, now fortified with increased strength, unleashed a punch that looked as if it intended to drag the sky down with it, crashing toward his foe!

Wu Li raised his fist to meet Adam’s punch head on.

Boom!!

Both their bodies shuddered.

This time, Adam’s strength was on par with Wu Li’s!
