That was due to the ability he had gained after he reincarnated. The ability to control his body freely as he pleased. A combat technique requires extreme control likewise an Exercising technique.
But there was no body like David who could perfectly control his muscles, bones and body at such level that was why other would practice the technique repeatedly until they reached the Glimpse state, and with even more practice, they would advance to the next state, and when their bodies had gotten used to the movement and control, they could finally advance to the perfection state.
But David only needed to practice the technique a few time just to remember them and then, he would easily reach the perfection state with ground breaking speed.
He had perfected cyclone kick and apart from that, his physical strength was at a very terrifying state.
Even though he limited his blood circulation, his body sturdiness wouldn't lie, he can't possibly waste his concentration to lower his muscles density just because of this.
And most especially he didn't think of that.
Not only did all this compensate for the difference in blood revolution, this combat ability had overall exceeded Rex's.
'As expected, he really had a truck up his sleeves.'
Rex's expression turned grave. Before he attacked, he had only taken David a little serious due to his speed and felt like he could easily defeat him with his current ability.
But now, that mentality had changed.
"What body refinement technique did you practice?" Rex questioned.
He too practiced a body refinement technique, but it was just the common Bronze Vest technique which one could acquire for free if one tried really hard.
Although it was a very effective technique that helps refine the body, it requires a very painful process and the time needed to touch upon the Glimpse state was even higher than most high tier black grade technique. It wasn't really worth it to practise such hard and painful technique.
Because of its extremely high difficulty, he didn't intend to spend too much time and resources to practice cultivation techniques.
"Does it matter?" David queried. Not that he wanted to conceal anything, he just hadn't practice any. But if he revealed that, Rex might just get suspicious which might end his training a little earlier than he had accounted for.
Rex's expression turned a bit black as he thought. Then with a glint in his eyes, he said.
"Let us fight on the trees." Rex stomped forcefully on the ground and his body catapulted upwards like a huge bird.
On land, there wasn't any guarantee that he could beat David quickly but on the trees and with his motion technique, he thought that he had a higher possibility of beating him quicker.
He hadn't thought that he would result to such tactics but desperate times called for desperate measures.
David's first thoughts was to instantly refuse. What a joke. He was too lazy to fight Bronx and the others as he thought it was a hassle and now this guy was saying they should take their fight to the trees?
His thoughts were 'He'll No!' he had forced himself to waste his time already, he didn't want to fight anymore but then again of he didn't, it would seem as though all his effort to gain a bit of experience would all be in vain.
"What? Are you afraid I'm going to beat you?" Rex mocked with a sneer coldly plastered on his face.
With a darkened expression, David replied reluctantly "You asked for it."
He stomped his feet forcefully and the muscles in his legs seem to vibrate like a wave and twist like a Cyclone as advanced towards the huge tree.
Rex's mouth twitched ad he saw that. 'He had reached the perfection state, no wonder he dared come up here. He had actuau reached the perfection state.'
The perfection state doesn't just come with a major boost in strength or technique, it comes with the ability to freely control or utilise the technique as one wished or when one felt like it.
For example, in David's situation, the Cyclonic Kick was only meant for attacking and attacking alone.
But in the perfection state, one could utilise the technique for anything, just like David did. He changed an attack technique to a motion technique.
He had activated it to lift himself up from the ground and had controlled its strength to land in the exact position as he had wished.
Even when he moved slightly, he unconsciously used it as he pranced within the trees.
This was what the perfection state grants, the ability to freely control the output of strength the technique gives.
Tap tap tap!
The two were like monkeys as they moved almost effortlessly on the trees.
Meanwhile, David was still astonished about how the trees in the surroundings seems to be bigger than an entire house and the shortest amongst them seem to be 20 meters in height.
"Uhn? This is where the sounds are coming from." someone said as various groups of students popped out from within the bushes.
The location of their fight wasn't that far from the safe zone. The students there had been hearing the sounds of explosions. So they had gathered to check it out.
"It Rex Phatrum, he is among the Nine Mrex's experts."
"That's right, Rex is ranked second among the Nine expert, he has a lot of fighting experience."
"Who is his opponent though, I haven't seen him before." The person sounded really confused.
"I think I know who he is. His name is David, he was quite lucky and had ranked in the 7th position of the rankings during the unexpected ranking release."
"Uhn? That powerful?"
"No, you are mistaken. He had been only lucky to have measures his strength earlier, than the others, I not he would be able to have been once ranked in the Rankings."
"It was said that he almost died on the fourth day but he was pretty lucky to have survived."
"What is his rankings now?"
"From the strength he displays, he should be at most in the 400th place in the rankings. "
