Cosmic-Level Demon God
Chapter 176 - 176 125 Talent Unmatched Just Like Me in My Prime

176: Chapter 125: Talent Unmatched, Just Like Me in My Prime 176: Chapter 125: Talent Unmatched, Just Like Me in My Prime “Ren teacher, are you asking me to go all out?”

Qin Shi narrowed his eyes.

Could it be another test?

He must break through Ren You’s defense to learn Nanhuang Daoist School’s “Inner and Outer Divine Courage and Strength”?

“Mr.

Qin, hold on.

I’m trying to…

think about how to teach you.”

Ren You had just positioned himself when the earpiece buzzed with static, making the teacher’s voice blur.

He raised his hand to press down, listening carefully, turning around to whisper:

“Is this really necessary?

Teacher, it took me seven days to barely get started.

You’re asking Mr.

Qin to grasp the essence within half a day.

Isn’t that too strict?”

The white-haired elder sitting in the wheelchair, surrounded by numerous screens in a dimly lit room, watched Qin Shi’s every move from different angles.

He was irritable, banging on the armrest:

“What’s your talent?

Little Ren, let me be honest with you today.

Letting you enter Nanhuang Daoist School might be a minor blemish in my otherwise illustrious career.”

Ren You did not refute because he indeed lagged behind his peers, stuck at the Specialized Level Martial Artist.

“Alright, Teacher.”

The “Inner and Outer Divine Courage and Strength” wasn’t just any ordinary cultivation technique.

It was a prerequisite for the “Cosmic Furnace Secret Manual.”

Only by first forging the body could one add fuel, force the blood and bones to reveal the vitality within, making it surge and fill the entire body.

If not a true inheritor, one could never learn it.

The Teacher didn’t want to distract Mr.

Qin, likely to avoid giving him too much psychological pressure.

Ren You cast aside his distractions, facing Qin Shi earnestly.

“Mr.

Qin, we need to engage in mutual offense and defense next.

If you can reach the passing line…

Nanhuang Daoist School can teach you the ‘Inner and Outer Divine Courage and Strength.’ Don’t worry about the Martial Arts Association procedure; it’s all within protocol.”

Qin Shi breathed a sigh of relief.

These days, it’s not just about the teacher’s willingness to teach and the student’s willingness to learn.

Important “textbooks,” such as high-level legacies like He Lanchan’s “Void Meditation Technique” or other founding ten great masters’ painstaking masterpieces…

require Martial Arts Association’s approval to ensure the teacher’s qualifications and the student’s conditions before completing this “political review” process.

This regulation exists because, throughout the history of the Martial Arts path, many misdirected Old Martial geniuses, after learning the secrets, joined forces opposing Dongxia, becoming “traitors.”

“I will try my best, Ren teacher.”

Qin Shi took a deep breath.

Facing a Specialized Level Martial Artist, he absolutely had no chance of winning.

No doubt about it.

With Ren You’s superb technique, even if he stood still, allowing attacks freely…

The power of “Wind Chime,” the sneak attacks of “Instant Shadow,” and the fatal blows of “Torrent,”

could all be easily neutralized.

“Monument!

Let me see your limit!”

Qin Shi decided to play the hopeless role.

He wanted to rely on his own efforts.

But Nanhuang Daoist School was indeed unkind.

Learning just the basic cultivation technique required the Specialized Level Martial Artist Old Ren to act as a gatekeeper!

For the first attack, Qin Shi still used the Wind Fist Stream combo.

Fist clenched tight, absorbing the airflow, erupting with a fierce bird-like screeching sound wave.

His figure like a sharp line, lightly jumping a few times, in less than fractions of a second, crossed the distance to Ren You.

A punch aimed straight at the face, causing a localized distortion and collapse in the space!

Moreover, in that brief moment approaching Ren You, accelerating again, erupting with even more violent force!

Boom!

The large room echoed with a rumbling explosion, like a series of muffled thunders rolling away!

“No wonder Mr.

Qin likes to overpower his opponents.

His physique and way of exerting force are really unreasonable.”

Ren You’s hair flew, and his clothes stuck to his skin, the strong atmosphere crashing like a roaring wind dragon!

Unhurried, his body momentarily exploded with strength, like hundreds of barrels of gunpowder ignited, giving terrifying heart and lung capacity.

Exhale!

Inhale!

Ren You’s chest and abdomen tightened, like a giant beast opening its blood mouth, absorbing streams of white gas into the body.

Exceeding a hundred points of Life Force, showcasing a physique far beyond normal humans.

Then, the surrounding world seemed to pause, time slowed down.

Ren You sidestepped, dodging Qin Shi’s fiercest attack.

Thud!

The punch missed, creating a turbulent wave!

Splashing against the walls, emitting a crashing sound!

Qin Shi’s arm was sore and numb, seemingly from exerting too much force, causing muscle spasms.

“Don’t move, adjust your breath.”

A broad palm pressed on his shoulder, Ren You used the technique of pushing and activating blood to calm Qin Shi’s tumultuous blood energy, preventing organ damage.

“Strong force, divine power is brittle, encountering agile opponents, easily toyed.”

Qin Shi reflected on Ren teacher’s graceful dodge, showing the Specialized Level’s sensory enhancement, and the perfect muscle control left a deep impression.

Through introspection, he couldn’t even catch Ren teacher’s Qi fluctuations, maintaining a steady line.

Making it impossible to predict his movements.

Ren You might block, dodge, or counterattack.

“Inner Breath Unmoving, calm like a lake, Vertical Qi like Thunder, stirring the whole body…

so that’s what it means.”

Qin Shi seemed to understand.

In combat, it’s crucial to circulate Qi sensitivity to form continuous Qi flow.

This ensures better power transmission, propelling the body, like a car needing fuel to run faster.

But the most intricate technique involves suppressing Qi sensitivity, letting the Qi permeate the body like dispersed clouds.

Distributing power evenly across all muscles, whether blocking or exerting force, it operates freely.

Without changing breathing patterns or techniques.

“Can I have a few minutes to think about my attack strategy, Ren teacher?”

A few minutes later, Qin Shi adjusted his state.

“It’s okay, Mr.

Qin, you can rest as much as you need.

Challenging a Specialized Level is very difficult, even if I’m not going full strength.”

Ren You smiled.

He thought the teacher’s condition was overly harsh and unfair.

The disparity in their levels made it impossible for Qin Shi to touch him!

“Teacher…”

“Shut up!”

The earpiece transmitted a scolding.

The white-haired elder stared at the screens showing Qin Shi from different angles.

He believed the boy, sitting cross-legged like asleep, must have comprehended something.

Genuine martial artists of great talent often needed just a single hint or a bout.

Many details would become clear, with no more obstacles.

“What I could do, Nanhuang Daoist School’s successor can’t fail.”

The elderly man thought, uncertainly.

Qin Shi started Old Martial too late, unlike him, growing up in the martial school, immersed in it.

The large room was quiet, only faint breathing sounds remaining.

Minutes passed, and Qin Shi lifted his head.

Opposite him, Ren You felt an unexpected jump in his heart, seeing traces of exhaustion from countless tough battles and a hint of finding an answer in Mr.

Qin’s eyes.

“Such a familiar feeling…”

Ren You recalled vaguely how his seniors solved problems like this.

Pondering for a while, then mastering it soon after.

“Mr.

Qin, have you rested enough?”

Ren You’s heart settled.

Regardless, he found it hard to believe that Qin Shi could pass the test with full marks amidst such a gap.

“Yes.”

Qin Shi spoke calmly.

After being severely beaten 170 times, he finally grasped the technique of controlling power.

Standing still, he introspected, sensing his muscle layers.

Red and white intertwined, pink flowing, gradually transforming to purple.

Carefully observing the glow representing muscle strength changes.

Gradually…

Qin Shi’s breathing slowed.

From turbulent currents to gentle streams.

His gaze fixed, contracting muscle groups tightly within, twelve black tendons pulsating in sync with his heart and pulse.

Like a giant serpent growing scales within blood and flesh, beginning to transform into a dragon!

The ultimate change in Tendon Limit was achieved at this moment!

“Before, I exerted ‘force,’ but now I can ‘coordinate power.'” Qin Shi thought silently.

He progressed too fast, with little time to absorb many “gifts.”

From technique evolved True Essence Qi, flowing through his body freely, like a dragon in water.

This well-tempered Mortal Body, with the circulation of True Essence Qi, felt like an old machine, washed of rust, gradually smoother.

“Control mastery, enhanced!

I have dominion over my flesh!”

Qin Shi exhaled, the power dissipating throughout his body, calmly stepping forward, without force or momentum.

Like a gust of spinning wind, his figure flashed, crossing tens of meters to appear before Ren You.

Even a Specialized Level was surprised by such speed.

“Inner Breath Unmoving!

Vertical Qi like Thunder!

Mr.

Qin actually learned it!”

Ren You found it unbelievable, such talent!

The white-haired elder sprang up, his frail body swaying, clutching the nearest screen, staring at the figure moving like a dragon.

“Just once!

Only once!

Like me in the past!

Unmatched talent!”

He was extremely excited, watching Qin Shi’s rapid trajectory, seeing his younger self!

Thwack!

A whip leg struck the air!

Ren You instinctively dodged, despite Qin Shi pushing his body to the limit, still too slow for him.

But Qin Shi didn’t exert full strength, or rather, that was an illusion.

His figure flashed again!

In mid-air, Qin Shi activated “Instant Shadow!”

Like a bone spurt, following Ren You’s movement, continuing his attack!

Seven or eight times in succession, no matter how Ren You changed positions, avoided, maneuvered.

Qin Shi stuck like a gentle wind, continuously using punches and kicks to compress space, forcing Ren You to counter or defend.

“Horrifying insight, terrifying combat talent!”

Ren You, being a Specialized Level, wouldn’t bully the “weak” Qin Shi.

He planned to break free, gaining more room, to see if Mr.

Qin had stronger attack moves.

Exhale!

Inhale!

Like a furnace, his body erupted Life Force, driving Ren You through the air, causing Qin Shi’s punches to miss again.

“Finally, it’s here!”

Qin Shi activated “Torrent,” seizing the moment, like a dragon soaring, his surging power filling the body, finally channeling to the spine, stretching and jumping rapidly!

Catching up!

True Essence Qi ran through him, penetrating Ren You’s stances.

Thud.

Skin-tight robes sagged slightly, as if pressed by something soft.

Hit!

Ren You’s senses were sharp.

Qin Shi had just brushed his chest.

“Teacher was right, there truly are geniuses beyond comprehension.”

Nanhuang Daoist School’s last true inheritor stood firmly, smiling bitterly:

“Mr.

Qin, you won.”

Matching a Specialized Level’s speed.

Proved Qin Shi fully grasped the technique of vertical Qi.

During the process, his Qi didn’t fluctuate noticeably, perfectly concealing all changes.

“Just luck.”

Qin Shi panted heavily.

Controlling the body and tightly managing power…

Was ten times more exhausting than his usual all-out performance!

“Enough to categorize my ‘second stage,’ as a trump card!”

Sweating profusely, he released his overloaded body heat, hearing an elderly voice suddenly:

“Too similar!

This is exactly me!”
