"Ah! Yuan!" Huang Xiao Li covered her mouth with a shocked look on her face after witnessing Yuan's arm exploding into a bloody mess.
Meanwhile, the audience cheered loudly for Royal Guard Basar.
"Hell yeah!"
"Kill him with your next punch!"
The audience rooted for his victory.
Yet, in the very next moment, just as the audience began to erupt in celebration, Yuan's previously annihilated arm miraculously regenerated, emerging anew in pristine condition. The sudden recovery left onlookers in stunned silence, an awe-stricken hush settling over the gathering as they grappled with the astonishing spectacle before them.
"What in heaven's name did he just do?! How did he recover from such an injury?!"
"There's no way! He must've used some kind of medicine or treasure!"
"But we were all watching him! It's impossible to do such a thing without getting caught before so many eyes! Even before His Majesty's presence, too!"
"You never know. Humans always have tricks up their sleeves."
Royal Guard Basar did not think Yuan was cheating and asked, "Is that your physique?"
"Who knows." Yuan shrugged.
Given that his regeneration ability stemmed from the consumption of demon cores and was intrinsically tied to the unique attributes of his physique, one could technically categorize this remarkable capability as an extension of his physique.
"Hmph. No matter how many times you regenerate, it won't help you defeat me." Royal Guard Basar remained calm despite Yuan's godly healing abilities.
And without uttering another word, Royal Guard Basar launched yet another punch at Yuan.
Knowing that he couldn't overpower Royal Guard Basar in his current state, Yuan swiftly sidestepped the attack, narrowly avoiding the strike. Then, seizing the opportune moment, he retaliated with a punch of his own.
His fist landed directly on Royal Guard Basar's body, but he was only able to push Royal Guard Basar a few steps back and cause the area he punched to swell up a little.
"Heh." Royal Guard Basar scoffed at the damage he received, which quickly healed even without needing to use spiritual energy.
At this point, it appeared that Yuan was destined for defeat, as he seemed to lag behind his opponent in every conceivable aspect, and this thought was aligned by most of the audience.
However, there was still something that Yuan had yet to try.
Typically, activating more than one body tempering technique simultaneously was deemed impractical, as the strain imposed on the body and the issues of compatibility made it an untenable approach.
In Royal Guard Basar's case, he was using a body tempering technique to further boost his own physique, which is the ideal method for most cultivators. However, not every physique seamlessly accommodated such techniques. In reality, the majority of physiques proved incompatible, yet the exception lay with most giants, who were inherently endowed with physiques conducive to the application of body tempering techniques.
