Dominating Martial King
Chapter 191 - 191 182 Divine Blade Blood Vengeance!_4

191: Chapter 182: Divine Blade Blood Vengeance!_4 191: Chapter 182: Divine Blade Blood Vengeance!_4 However, this Qi was not actually Inner Strength, but what is known as “Essence,” gathered from the most purified Spiritual Energy.

It originated from the Wild Boar Meat and should have dissipated over time.

But now, it had been forcibly gathered to the Dantian by Zong Shou’s Guiding Technique.

It could enhance the body, be transformed into Inner Breath, repair injuries, and even be transferred to others, serving multitude of purposes.

In his previous life, Zong Shou was able to dominate hundreds of millions of players, and this Guiding Technique was indeed a significant reason for his success.

Usually, Zong Shou practiced inside a carriage, three times a day.

Chuxue had already seen it and lost interest after watching for a short while.

This was the first time Ying Yang had witnessed it; after the initial glance, his eyes shone with a hidden brilliance, completely captivated.

It wasn’t until Zong Shou completed the entire set of the Guiding Technique that the sharp light in Ying Yang’s eyes receded.

He commented lightly, “I wonder, princely heir, where did you learn this set of movements?

If practiced diligently, even if you do not become a powerful figure in the future, it can still strengthen and invigorate the body—”

Zong Shou nodded slightly to acknowledge, a hint of surprise flickering across his face.

During these seven days, all he knew was that he once had studied in the very familiar Coastal Academy for quite some time until he was taken out by two people just recently.

Moreover, with his experience and knowledge, he still could not fathom the depth of Ying Yang.

Calm and composed, with measured actions, Ying Yang didn’t seem at all like a coachman.

After finishing the pork, Ying Yang Chuxue both entered into a state of meditation to regulate their breathing.

Their breaths became even as if they were asleep.

Zong Shou also sat cross-legged and started experimenting with running a basic mental method, transforming the Essence in his Qi Sea into Inner Breath.

At first, he felt nothing abnormal, but as the Qi began to flow into his meridians, he felt a piercing pain all over his body, as if ten thousand steel needles were simultaneously inserted, making him almost cry out in pain.

Zong Shou unconsciously inhaled sharply, not wanting to disturb the two beside him, and forcibly endured.

After a while, the intense pain subsided, and his front and back were covered in cold sweat.

“Indeed!

It is because of the parallel meridians!”

With a flash of understanding in his eyes, Zong Shou concentrated his thoughts to guide that warm flow back to the Qi Sea, temporarily abandoning the idea of continuing the practice of Inner Qi.

In the Cloud Realm, every race cultivates based on the nine Body Meridians as a foundation.

Nine Wheel Meridians encircle the body.

During his practice, Zong Shou distinctly felt the Essence within his meridians split and go separate ways.

As he had guessed, there were indeed Dual Veins within his body!

This body, being a half-demon, possessed bloodlines from the Human Clan and the Fox type, both of extraordinary origins, blending the strengths of both bloodlines, which assuredly made his root bone and Five Elements Spirit Root exceptional.

However, it was also because of this that the bloodlines conflicted with each other, making his physical strength terrifyingly low and preventing him from normally cultivating any Inner Breath.

For others, a physique with Dual Veins might mean giving up on practicing Martial Arts completely.

But for him, there was still hope.

What he was most thankful for in this world was the decades of reading in his previous life and the validations done in virtual Illusion Realms, which accumulated Martial Arts experience far surpassing any Martial Artist of this era!

Recalling the information from his past life, Zong Shou’s eyebrows gradually furrowed.

Either practice a special Kung Fu suitable for Dual Veins—there were several in Zong Shou’s memory, all of considerable power, at least above Absolute Skills, but none were suitable.

Another option was to obtain several Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to strengthen one of his bloodlines, suppressing the other, to improve his constitution and make the Dual Veins converge into one.

However, such Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were even rarer.

Zong Shou had never even considered this option.

“It really serves me right!

Fiery Fire Cold Flame Technique, Great Reversed Luo Divine Technique, Sun and Moon Radiant Wheel, when I acquired them back then, why didn’t I take a closer look?

Even though they were somewhat trashy—”

While he was troubled, a flash of spirit light suddenly shone in his mind, and another piece of text swept past.

“The way of heaven is to take from the excess and give to the deficient.

The way of man is to take from the deficient to serve the excess—”

Zong Shou’s expression suddenly froze.

The next moment, as if seeing snakes and scorpions, he hastily banished these memories from his consciousness and buried them deep in his memory.

These were words from an ancient Martial Arts secret he had come across in his early years, known as ‘Swallowing Essence.’ It had once caused endless turmoil in the Cloud Realm, leading to countless bloody incidences, and its fame spread across many worlds, regarded as taboo by the people.

If he used this technique, it could resolve the conflict of his bloodline and even cause his cultivation to surge.

However, unless it was absolutely necessary, truly facing death, he was reluctant to touch it lightly.

Especially with his Dual Veins constitution, he feared it would bring more hidden problems, and he was still hesitating at the moment.

With a sigh of grief, Zong Shou turned and dispersed all the gathered essence into his four limbs and hundred bones, enhancing his body.

Especially his hands, making the muscles more robust and the bones more tenacious.

He then cut down a piece of Iron Wood common in the Cloud Realm from a nearby forest and with his Fine Steel Treasure Sword, carved it into several half-foot-long wooden flying knives.

Standing next to the carriage window, Zong Shou slightly lifted his wrist, and a black shadow shot out from his sleeve.

Instantly, it was twenty cubits outside the carriage, firmly nailed to a small tree, emitting a ‘snap’ sound.

“Half a millimeter to the left!”

With someone else controlling it, the Cloud Flipping Chariot moved even faster.

The small tree used as a target skimmed past his view and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

But Zong Shou squinted his eyes, sharp as an eagle, and clearly saw his Iron Wood carved flying knife slightly deviating to the left.

Since they stopped for repairs that day, three more days had passed without any pause.

Yiin Yang and Chuxue still came and went from time to time, emanating a murderous aura, while Zong Shou continued to do nothing, staying inside the carriage.

Besides daily practicing swordsmanship and movement techniques, gathering Spiritual Energy from all directions using Guiding Techniques, and strengthening his physique.

He had added one more task—practicing with these Black Iron Wood flying knives.

Whenever he felt fatigued, Zong Shou would always stand by the window and target anything nearby, shooting out the flying knife.

In his previous life, Zong Shou was famous for his swordsmanship and had joined the ranks of the Divine Emperor game, one of the Seven Emperors in the Cloud Realm.

Even among the players of ten thousand worlds, he was among the very top performers.

However, his most feared technique at that time was also a Flying Knife Hidden Weapon which also dominated the masses.

The Six God Sword Technique, learned in “Divine Emperor.” When the knives were released, they never missed, powerful enough to cut down immortals!

Even during the battle of the Seven Emperors, he had never missed, and even the one known as the Shadowless Extreme Emperor, renowned for his Escape Techniques and on par with him, also fell to his Six God Sword Technique.

What’s unique about this virtual game is that most learnable Martial Arts techniques and secret techniques recorded have detailed practices, originating from ancient inheritances.

They could also be practiced in reality.

The Six God Sword Technique was one of the top secret Martial Arts, and although Zong Shou hadn’t opened his Wheel Meridian yet, he could already practice some of the secret techniques within, making his Flying Knife Skill as good as, if not better than, a real Martial Artist!

His right hand suddenly flipped again, and another Black Iron Wood knife appeared in Zong Shou’s hand.

As he moved his fingers, it rolled up and down between them, bringing out a series of extremely dazzling knife shadows and radiance.

Zong Shou himself slightly closed his eyes and began introspecting.

Without cultivating Internal Breath, it was basically impossible for him to truly detect the state of his Body Meridians.

However, his experience as a top Martial Artist in his previous life allowed him to clearly feel the condition of each muscle in his arms.

The degree of effort, strength, and flexibility.

He could even perceive the stretching of the tendons and the twisting of the joints as clear as day.

In a short while, Zong Shou had an epiphany.

Within three days, the Flying Knife went from unfamiliar to proficient, and now he could almost hit a moving target with every throw.

This is something no one else could accomplish.

Even those with astonishing natural talent in Martial Arts couldn’t manage this.

Only he, relying on his precision close to perfection and continuous self-reflection and adjustment, could step by step reach this realm.

But Zong Shou was still not satisfied with that last throw.

With the skill of Hidden Weapons, a slight miss could lead to a thousand miles of error.
