looking at the nine red dots on the beast hide page, long chen sunk into a deep contemplation. these nine dots didn’t have the slightest pattern.
there were no explanations, but this time, long chen carefully examined them and found that there really was an extremely faint line connecting them.
“these should be nine acupuncture points.”
long chen had to look at them for a great deal of time before coming to this conclusion. within long chen’s mind was a map of countless meridians, and only after going down each and every single one of them did he come to such a conclusion. other people might think about it until they died before figuring it out.
“enter liyao, merge into huiming... rush into quchi, join laogong?”[1]
long chen quietly whispered the names of the nine points as he followed along their meridian paths. he paused, “this isn’t a fist or palm technique, but a weapon battle skill.”
“what a brilliant technique.”
long chen studied it and found that when qi flowed through these nine spots, it was as if a dammed river had burst forth. after passing through nine turns, it would definitely be terrifying to the extreme when released.
he had definitely gained a treasure this time, and although long chen didn’t know what class it was, it was definitely not low.
under his urging, his dantian’s qi flowed out towards the liyao point, but when he tried to urge his spiritual energy to the second acupuncture point, he found out that he was unable to continue.
“huh?”
after a brief pause, long chen understood that this technique must have very high requirements in terms of spiritual energy. without enough spiritual energy, it was impossible to use it.
giving up on his dantian’s spiritual energy, he started to use his fengfu star. as he expected, his fengfu star was filled with much more power than his dantian.
but when he arrived at the fourth acupuncture point, he began to stall. no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to reach the sixth point.
“i don’t believe i can’t do this!”
long chen clenched his jaw and sent a strand of spiritual energy from his fengfu star into his dantian’s cyclones. the cyclones immediately released a wild energy.
controlling that energy, he quickly progressed.
the sixth...
the seventh...
the eighth...
“crap...”
long chen suddenly stopped and hastily recalled his spiritual energy. using his divine sense, he examined his meridians.
he was shocked to find that his meridians were already starting to break down from that terrifying energy, and tears had started to appear. if long chen had been a step too late in recalling his spiritual energy, his meridians would have completely exploded.
if the meridians really did explode, then it would require an extremely long time to recover. sweat dripped down his back from fear.
“crap, i can’t train in this for now.” long chen could only unwillingly give up on practicing split the heavens.
swallowing a meridian nourishing pill, he quickly restored his slightly damaged meridians. long chen stood up and walked out.
opening the door, he took a deep breath of fresh air, recovering from his fatigue from his continuous training.
at this time, the sun had just started to rise in the east. long chen made some inquiries for bao-er. their estate was completely fine. wilde was also completely fine and eating till he was full every day.
this let long chen relax. he changed his clothes and prepared to go to the alchemist guild to request help from grandmaster yun qi.
“no, i don’t doubt you. i don’t believe it at all!” joked long chen.
“you scoundrel, look!” with a cute cry, chu yao sent a palm towards long chen.
chu yao’s palm landed on long chen’s stomach. although she hadn’t used any spiritual energy, the force behind it wasn’t small. when it landed on his body, it still emitted a loud bang.
“you... why didn’t you dodge?” she hadn’t expected him to just take the blow.
“if i dodged, you wouldn’t have hit me. that’d be boring,” laughed long chen. although the hand was separated from him with a layer of clothing, he could still feel a peculiar feeling from it.
“long chen...”
seeing his straightforward smile, she felt a burst of warmth. she actually gently laid her head on long chen’s chest.
long chen’s body immediately went rigid. what kind of situation was this? long chen didn’t dare move an inch, turning into a stump of wood.
chu yao’s face suddenly turned warm, and seeing his nervous expression, she covered a smile. “you bad person, back then when you were fighting, you were like a tiger baring its fangs. how come you’ve become a little kitten now?”
long chen immediately felt awkward and changed the subject, “chu yao, i don’t want to treat you like a stranger. i really do feel that you need to learn a few higher grade battle skills.”
chu yao’s face reddened, and she blankly stared at long chen. if he didn’t want to treat her as a stranger, then what did he want to treat her as? she clearly had misunderstood long chen’s meaning.
but in response to long chen’s seriousness, chu yao was also resolute. “i wasn’t joking. i really am proficient in many battle skills. look.”
she extended a hand and a scorching air rose out. a faint red light appeared over her hand.
she sent her palm into a tree over a foot thick and it trembled, its leaves flying. when she removed her palm, a faint handprint could be seen on it.
“did you see? this is a high mortal class battle skill, flamecloud palm. how is it? are you scared?”
chu yao was pleased with long chen’s stupefied expression.
long chen truly was shocked. this kind of power could still be considered a battle skill? even without a battle skill, long chen could easily topple such a tree in one blow.
“uh-huh, it really was good to look at,” quickly replied long chen. chu yao’s movements had been very fluid and smooth, which really was pleasing to look at.
chu yao didn’t appear to catch his other meaning and thought that he meant she had shocked him. she very patiently explained to long chen the main points of her attack.
but when long chen heard her explanation on how to use the flamecloud palm, long chen was truly shocked. based on what she said, then in theory, it was clearly an extremely powerful palm technique!
“let me try it.”
“so quickly?” chu yao asked in disbelief.
long chen smiled slightly. battle skills were just a way to use spiritual energy. through the superposition within the meridians, they could emit a powerful strength, that was all.
long chen was already as familiar as possible with his body’s meridians, so hearing her explain it once was enough for him.
his dantian’s spiritual energy circulated and a dense fiery energy erupted out. long chen shouted out and sent a palm crashing forward.
boom!
a huge tree, which would require several people to wrap around it, snapped, its crown whistling as it fell.
the huge tree smashed into the ground, sending dirt flying. chu yao was staring blankly; was this really the same flamecloud palm as hers?
the spot where the tree had broken was completely scorched, a specific mark of the flamecloud palm. long chen nodded inside; it truly was worthy of being a high mortal class battle skill. its power was extremely great.
but seeing chu yao beside him filled with shock, long chen’s heart shook and he grabbed chu yao’s hand.
“chu yao, let me examine your body.”
