Because he can only exert seventy percent of his full strength under normal circumstances, Zhao Yun doesn’t appear very strong, and this is also why he can easily handle any ergency situation.
After all, once in danger, Zhao Yun’s instinct is to stabilize his Heart Spirit as much as possible, not seeking to surpass his usual performance; as long as he can explode with ninety percent of his strength, Zhao Yun can easily suppress most of the military generals under heaven.
Basically, if Zhao Yun could consistently wield one hundred and twenty percent of his Combat Power like Guan Yu, Zhao Yun would have no trouble facing Lyu Bu, who has now deciphered "God", even in a one-on-one battle. Having rebuilt his Inner Qi Manifestation seven tis, with continuous accumulation, the essence of his Inner Qi has begun to surpass the Inner Qi Manifestation Rank.
Of course, all of this is wishful thinking, for Zhao Yun has never truly felt endangered, claiming that he could retreat unscathed even from a battle with Lyu Bu.
Zhao Yun doesn’t feel endangered, and even in previous encounters with Lyu Bu, Zhao Yun’s state never reached one hundred percent; ninety percent of his Combat Power was already enough to retreat in one piece, with no one able to injure him.
There has never been an instance where Zhao Yun was pushed beyond his limits to unleash his combat abilities; if he couldn’t beat soone, he would simply leave. Even if Lyu Bu pursued and attacked, running and fighting at the sa ti, Lyu Bu wouldn’t dean himself with a prolonged chase.
As for others, they truly don’t qualify to pursue and attack Zhao Yun, unlike Lyu Bu, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, who went through many life-threatening battles at a very young age.
When Zhao Yun left the mountains, he was already at the Inner Qi Separation level, and by the ti he arrived at Hulao Pass, he had completed five reconstructions; there truly hasn’t been anyone under heaven that could make him feel that he must fight desperately or die today!
Furthermore, as the closed-door disciple of Tong Yuan, who taught everything he knew, Zhao Yun’s aptitude in martial arts is nearly Perfect; he could learn any move after just one demonstration.
With that said, Zhao Yun’s path in martial arts has been smooth sailing, having already beco one of the top experts in the world even before clashing with the myriad heroes.
Every advantage has its disadvantage; Zhao Yun had it too easy. When a person cannot sense the malice of the world nor perceive danger, how can he possibly unlock his potential? Moreover, Zhao Yun’s strength was already improving continuously; he was more than capable of handling most experts without digging deeper into his potential, so why would he waste ti on sothing so aningless?
Zhao Yun knew his situation after Lyu Bu’s breakthrough; it was clear that Lyu Bu’s physical quality and Inner Qi hadn’t improved, but his strength had significantly increased. If Zhao Yun, who had a full comprehension in martial arts, still couldn’t understand this, then he wouldn’t qualify to learn any Forbidden Moves or secret techniques with just one look.
Similarly, with Zhao Yun’s wisdom, he understood how to tap into his own potential: put himself in a desperate situation, then engage in a thrilling battle to the death. As long as he survived, he would essentially be on the sa level as Lyu Bu.
The problem was that Zhao Yun thought it over and couldn’t figure out how to back himself into a corner. A one-on-one duel with Lyu Bu? If he couldn’t win, he’d simply run away. Surely he wouldn’t stay and not run? How could that be possible?
To break through in dire straits, there must be absolutely no way out, focused with one heart to unleash potential. With too many ways to survive against Lyu Bu, Zhao Yun never worried about being killed in a one-on-one fight. To put it accurately, he would never walk away from a duel, win or lose, with any injury. That’s Zhao Yun’s confidence, but this confidence was utterly useless!
As for facing three Inner Qi Manifestation generals like Lyu Bu, engaging in a three-against-one where he could still escape if he couldn’t win, and even if he were cornered, Zhao Yun could only say, being faster than Lyu Bu, he had no equals. He was so fast that if he decided to retreat, no military general could stop him.
As for charging into the enemy’s military formation, Zhao Yun decisively gave up the idea. He was an army commander, and if he charged, his trusted aides would definitely follow him, and then the large army would follow suit, which would achieve nothing in the end.
While daydreaming, Zhao Yun shot his arrows, leading his White Horse Righteous Followers in a grand sweep, sending countless arrows out and forcing the Left Camp enemy troops trying to charge over for rescue to fall back.
"The speed is too fast; it’s not necessarily a good thing. When my master took under his wing, he taught to secure an invincible position first, and then make plans. Now that I think about it, if I’m already in an invincible position, what dangers can there be? Without danger, how can I surpass my own limits?"
Zhao Yun continued to drift in thought. He had thought of hundreds of ways to surpass his own limits. Upon detailed analysis, he realized none of them posed any real danger, no threats that could kill him. Without the risk of a life-and-death situation, there was simply no way for Zhao Yun to exceed his own limits.
Zhao Yun knew that before Lyu Bu had surpassed the peak of "divine" and stepped into a new realm, if Zhao Yun could exhibit his full strength, he might have an even match with Lyu Bu. Now that Lyu Bu had surpassed that peak, Zhao Yun, to fight Lyu Bu evenly matched, would need nearly perfect Power of Heart Spirit to display 120% of his abilities.
"Sigh, it seems there’s no good thod. I’m stuck because I haven’t faced a life-and-death battle, or perhaps it’s because I’ve never truly been defeated that I can’t bring out my full Heart Spirit strength. Could it be that I need to lose once?" Zhao Yun shot and killed a Centurion from Yuan Shao’s Army who was trying to withdraw, his expression sowhat dejected.
"Lose once?" Zhao Yun didn’t know why thinking of this phrase made him feel extrely dissatisfied. "Absolutely not! I would rather live my entire life with unfulfilled Heart Spirit power than allow myself to lose once. A draw is acceptable, but defeat is absolutely not! No, not even a draw is allowed, only victory, no defeat!"
"Isn’t it all about having perfect Heart Spirit power to exert extraordinary combat power? I won’t struggle with this aspect anymore. I’ll enhance my fundantal strength. Even if I can only exert 70% of it, I refuse to believe that with my base strength increased to a certain extent, I can still be defeated!" Zhao Yun silently affird his decision, not out of a desire for victory, but because he simply hated to fail.
If the strength of all people were restricted to only be able to exert 100% of their ability, Zhao Yun’s combat power would certainly be the strongest, while Lyu Bu would probably only rank after the fifth place.
If it were purely a comparison of brute strength, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhang Fei, these people were all stronger than Lyu Bu. But Lyu Bu’s will was too strong, strong enough to crush these n. One unit of Inner Qi creating two units of effect, a twofold boost that just wasn’t a fair competition – that was the strength of will.
As for Guan Yu, Yan Liang’s brute strength was also behind Lyu Bu, barely making the top ten. However, the strength displayed by Guan Yu and Yan Liang was definitely among the most ferocious, also due to their will. Lyu Bu possessed an undefeated heart honed through countless battles, Guan Yu an absolute confidence in himself, and Yan Liang the heart to prove that Yuan Shao had not misjudged him, a heart for repaying his debt! These three would often use strength beyond limits as if it were their normal output.
What Zhao Yun chose now was to elevate his own base strength and then, using 90% of his combat power, crush those who managed to burst beyond their limits!
