Lin Yi faced the formidable Corpse King, Ying Gou, whose overwhelming power shattered the ground and repelled even divine attacks. A system prompt revealed a time-limited reward for reducing Ying Gou's health, including powerful pills and a skill fragment, alongside mythical equipment. Wo Zhiqi warned Lin Yi about the combined might of the Four Great Corpse Kings, explaining that Luo Bingxin likely orchestrated this confrontation. Despite being severely injured by Ying Gou's pure, corrosive power, Lin Yi's unique skills allowed him to recover instantly, drawing Ying Gou's attention and pursuit.

Lin Yi’s face turned pale, provoking a chuckle from Ying Gou.

"Wo Zhiqi, why put yourself through this? You need a body you can use, but this level of strength is hardly suitable. If your original body were to bear my deathly aura, it would likely remain unaffected. Look at this kid’s frail physique."

Wo Zhiqi did not reply, his expression unchanged as before.

It’s not that Ying Gou’s words made him unhappy, but at this moment, he was explaining the battle techniques he mastered to Lin Yi.

"Kid, the most advanced battle technique isn’t to completely crush the opponent, but to adapt."

Adapt?

Lin Yi wasn’t very familiar with this term.

In the Blue Star Professional’s group, these battle techniques weren’t heavily emphasized.

Skill rank, one’s attributes, and mastering the Supreme Law are the standards to measure the Blue Star Professional’s combat strength.

Wo Zhiqi, a master of this level, also focuses on these, but they’re not the full standard for measuring combat strength.

Compared to true masters, Blue Star’s combat style is rather mechanical.

Generally speaking, Blue Star’s combat style is somewhat like a card game.

Without skills, both parties rely purely on attributes to compete.

Under the guidance of the Great Saint Martial Soul, Lin Yi began to see the effectiveness of combat techniques.

Lin Yi was constantly thinking of ways to improve his combat skills.

This thing doesn’t benefit much from verbal teaching; only real combat can engrain techniques into one’s bones.

As for the "adapt" that Wo Zhiqi mentioned, Lin Yi was even more perplexed.

"Adapting is also a kind of battle technique, though I’ve never discussed it with you."

"In my fighting career, I’ve faced many masters, very few of whom can master this technique. Adapting is about transforming an opponent’s power for one’s own use."

From the literal meaning alone, Lin Yi could grasp Wo Zhiqi’s intent.

If he could master the skill of "adapt," even facing evenly matched opponents, he could easily defeat them.

Because "adapt" is a process where one’s gain is another’s loss:

Two equally matched units, when fighting with regular methods, will deplete attributes at nearly the same rate.

Their chances of winning would be infinitely close.

But if one side mastered the "adapt" technique, their depletion during battle would be far less than their opponent.

Turning part of the opponent’s attacks into their own techniques saves a lot of effort.

The principle is clear to Lin Yi.

As a Transmigrator, Lin Yi understood this.

But what he couldn’t figure out was how to achieve this technique or incorporate it into actual combat.

It’s known that even between two individuals of infinitely close strength, their techniques and fighting styles can’t be entirely identical—each Divine Being has its unique mode of attack, combat style, and points of expertise.

Because of this, these Divine Beings have their unique titles.

Different attack modes, different techniques, how to convert them.

For instance, Lin Yi excels at exploiting information gaps, using powerful and high-frequency skills to smack opponents in the face, feeding them so much skill they question reality.

On the other hand, Ying Gou prefers using Body Skill.

Using nearly boundless power combined with almost invincible defense capability to close in and pummel the opponent, turning them into piles of mince.

The concept of "adapt," Lin Yi could grasp.

If an enemy uses elemental skills, he can use his high Elemental Affinity to slowly guide the enemy’s Elemental Attack in front of him. Then, using his deep understanding of elements, inject his own Source Power, even Taichu and Divine Power, into the enemy’s moves to own them.

But when it’s fists or feet, how can he dissolve them?

In terms of strength alone, he’s not a match for Ying Gou. If he must compete in this aspect, he can only deploy an Infinite Ball.

"Kid, you’re imagining this world as too shallow."

"Let me think about how to explain this to you."

"Oh, right, in my lifetime of tens of thousands of years, several sects emerged with sound summaries. ’The Dao generates One, One generates Two...’

"In essence, everything in this world can be explained by Dao. Their commonality is this Dao. Once you discover this commonality, nothing can’t be addressed with the adapt technique."

Wo Zhiqi’s teaching seemed lengthy.

Yet, within Lin Yi’s Divine Sense, it was just a moment.

Seeing Lin Yi’s confusion, Wo Zhiqi didn’t waste words and directly initiated a duel with Ying Gou.

"To fight you, this body is enough."

Finished speaking, Wo Zhiqi manipulated Lin Yi’s body to charge out at extreme speed, right fist clenched tightly, hurling towards Ying Gou’s head.

"Heh, want to clash with my strength? I want to see exactly how much you’re worth."

Ying Gou snorted coldly, extending his fist to meet Lin Yi’s punch.

Bang!

The instant their fists collided, a massive shockwave indeed erupted.

Terrorizing Taichu and Divine Power exploded directly, expanding in ripples outward, mercilessly crushing everything in its path.

However, this duel clearly favored Wo Zhiqi, his expression was far more relaxed than Lin Yi’s.

On the other hand, Ying Gou, bolstered by the Corpse King’s Unbreakable body, didn’t suffer substantial damage from this blow. In contrast, Lin Yi wasn’t so fortunate—the impact from the clash landed hard on him.

His internal energy surged violently, and his pallor revealed Lin Yi’s predicament.

"Wo Zhiqi, you’re truly arrogant. With a kid of such low rank, do you dare use his flesh against me? Go to hell!"

Roaring in anger, Ying Gou intensified his force.

This strike did indeed hurl Lin Yi’s body ruthlessly away.

"Heh, this guy, much weaker than I imagined."

Just as Ying Gou felt Wo Zhiqi’s prowess was futile, he suddenly sensed something amiss.

Lin Yi’s speed while being knocked away was wrong!

This backward velocity was much slower than expected, indicating one thing.

He wasn’t actually being repelled.

As Ying Gou was about to rush forward to deliver a final blow, Lin Yi calmly raised his hand, his left hand catching Ying Gou’s incoming fist.

"Heh, you really think you’re something amazing?"

Lin Yi grinned, showing rows of sharp teeth.

Just as Ying Gou was perplexed, the [Light and Shadow Interweaving] skill activated again.

Lin Yi appeared behind Ying Gou.
