In a clash, the two separated in an instant.
"Master Yin, this person indeed has some anomaly, martial arts are not just honed through toil and labor, I don’t know what means he used to forcibly elevate himself, clearly at the Fourth Grade Divine Power Realm, yet no match for me of the Fifth Grade."
Mei Weixuan wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth that trickled out due to the shock.
"I can see that, back down!"
At this time, Guo Yanhuai, unable to contend with Mei Weixuan who was merely of the Fifth Grade cultivation, was mentally stimulated, his demeanor becoming increasingly frenzied, he opened his mouth and roared, saliva spilling from the corner of his mouth.
"Die, you all must die, all must die."
As he spoke, his aura incredibly surged higher, and his body swelled out of nowhere, becoming like a small giant, with sweat tinged with blood oozing out of the pores on his exposed skin, turning him into a bloody figure in an instant.
The entire person transformed into a shadow of blood, once again rushing to attack Mei Weixuan.
"Martial arts is the road of continually surpassing one’s own limits, it’s also the road of mastering one’s own power, becoming like a beast with only the desire to kill and no rationality, you’ve already entered the demon path."
Facing the irrational Guo Yanhuai, Master Yin gently swept his right hand.
Unexpectedly, from his palm, a white Gang Qi condensed, the Gang Qi extending three feet away, transforming into a palm imprint, gently striking Guo Yanhuai’s chest.
Guo Yanhuai’s entire body flew backward, his chest caved in, and bright red blood spurted from his mouth, even carrying fragments of internal organs.
Mei Weixuan’s eyes went wide, murmuring: "Although this isn’t the first time seeing Master Yin make a move, every time it’s astoundingly miraculous, the Upper Third Grades Qi Cultivation, truly is like a sparrow pecking at the bull’s butt—sparrow indeed amazing."
Just as Mei Weixuan finished speaking, a gust of wind rushed over, not giving him a chance to resist, directly smacking him to the ground into a face plant.
It was clearly that Master Yin couldn’t bear his mouth anymore.
The woman with the surname Gu, who had been quiet the whole time, also twitched the corner of her mouth, turning her head to one side.
A perfectly good person, why did they grow a mouth like that?
"Go, protect General Guo."
"Protect the General."
The many chaotic army leaders watching finally reacted, raising the weapons in their hands, they were about to step forward to protect their master.
Master Yin snorted coldly, sound waves vibrating, actually causing these people to directly suffer a headache, falling to their knees.
Stepping forward, he grabbed Guo Yanhuai by the hand, inner breath surging into his body, examining carefully.
After a moment, his expression became extremely grim.
"Master Yin, have you discovered something?"
The woman with the surname Gu, upon seeing Master Yin’s expression, knew that there must be something significant, or such a reaction wouldn’t be shown.
The woman with the surname Gu was stunned for a moment, but then her face changed drastically: "Master Yin, are you referring to the Blood Soul Pill that plagued the former dynasty? How is that possible? Didn’t the Blood Soul Pill disappear with the Blood Demon Sect? How could it appear here? Did you... Could you have been mistaken?"
Master Yin shook his head and said: "Qi-blood is turbid, condensed but not firm, eyes red, demeanor frenzied, life fire damaged, lifespan greatly reduced, these are the signs of consuming the Blood Soul Pill, there’s no mistake."
"This is troublesome, we must quickly report to the Court and the Sect, in those years, the Blood Demon Sect used the Blood Soul Pill to wreak havoc in the Great Qian, causing chaos in the world and hardship for the people. If not for the Great Chen’s Taizu seizing the opportunity to rise, along with the help of the former Sect Master, to set things right, who knows what it would have turned into! Never expected the Blood Soul Pill to reappear, if it’s just someone coincidentally obtaining the elixir recipe, so be it, but if the Blood Demon Sect is reviving... Weixuan, go find your second uncle to bring troops and control the place, Yourong, gather all the chaotic army leaders, I want to personally interrogate them."
Master Yin’s face was solemn, quickly instructing the two of them.
Gu Yourong, Mei Weixuan, understanding the seriousness of the matter, dared not delay.
"Succeeded? Haha, system, give me the points."
Zhong Lin suddenly opened his eyes, his heart overjoyed as those words appeared in the system panel.
A moment later, Zhong Lin once again opened the system panel.
Law: Iron Mountain Skill (Full Level), Black Tiger Fist (Full Level), Red Sun Stance (Full Level)
Skill: Iron Sand Palm (Full Level), Rolling Stone Fist (Full Level), Bow Technique (Full Level), Flying Locust Stone (Full Level), Willow Catkins (Full Level), Wind-breaking Saber Technique (Full Level), Instant Kill Skill (Full Level), Concealing Breath Skill (Full Level), Seeking Breath Skill (Full Level), Eight-step Chasing Cicada (Full Level), Furong Gold Needle (Full Level)
Miscellaneous: Three-dimensional Painting (Full Level), Calligraphy (Full Level), Culinary Skill (Full Level), Medical Skill (Full Level), Pharmaceutical Technology (Full Level), Disguise Skill (Full Level), Oral Skill (Full Level), Lock Opening (Full Level),
It took three full days for "Red Sun Stance" to finally be mastered by Zhong Lin and entered into the system panel.
Once entered into the system panel, everything becomes simple.
At this moment, in Zhong Lin’s mind, "Red Sun Stance" has reached the level of the creator, decades of cultivation experience rushed into his heart.
Zhong Lin adjusted his breathing, slightly bent his knees, and raised his arms.
"Power rises from the ground, sink shoulders and drop elbows, loosen waist and hips, shoulders push elbows horizontal, round crotch wrap knees..."
In the open space of the courtyard, setting up the stance of "Red Sun Stance," under the blazing sun, it seemed as though he was enveloped in flames, the whole body filled with a scorching sensation.
"Power originates from the ground, rooted in foot, governed by waist and hips, passing through shoulder and arm, manifesting in wrist and fingers."
At this moment, Zhong Lin no longer had the clumsiness of the first time practicing "Red Sun Stance," as if he had been immersed in it for countless years, every move brimming with a peculiar rhythm.
Zhong Lin set his stance, the whole person immersed in the sound of his own breathing, only feeling as if he had transformed into a breath, merging into his limbs and bones through the respiratory tract.
His senses also became extremely sensitive, even able to "hear" his own blood sounding.
At a certain moment, Zhong Lin abruptly opened his eyes wide, seeing an ethereal gas emerging from his blood.
At this moment, he clearly felt a hot current flowing through his whole body, it’s extremely comfortable, like soaking in hot water.
And he felt absolutely and truly that his strength was increasing.
"Is this Qi-blood? Am I now at the Sixth Grade Qi-Blood Realm?"
That feeling of being soaked in hot water was so refreshing, at this moment Zhong Lin deeply felt a sense of shock and intoxication.
Training in the Lower Third Grades focuses more on tempering muscles and bones, only upon reaching the Middle Third Grades does one truly begin to contact transcendent power, this transcendent power unique to oneself mesmerizes Zhong Lin.
"According to the ’Red Sun Stance’ record, Qi-blood growing to empower the palm signifies mastery, empowering both arms signifies minor success, great success is when the limbs are fully accessible, then one can use the surging Qi-blood to nourish the internal organs, by that time one can enter the next realm, the Fifth Grade Inner Strengthening Realm."
"Now, my condensed Qi-blood is only a wisp, can’t even empower the palm, now it feels like a candle in the wind, may extinguish anytime, still needs nurturing!"
