Dominating Martial King
Chapter 209 - 209 186 One Man Against a Thousand!_4

209: Chapter 186: One Man Against a Thousand!_4 209: Chapter 186: One Man Against a Thousand!_4 However, this energy was not true Inner Strength but the so-called ‘Essence,’ gathered from the most refined Spiritual Energy.

It was absorbed from the Wild Boar Meat and should have dispersed over time naturally.

At this moment, however, it was forcibly gathered into the Dantian by Zong Shou’s Guiding Technique.

It could enhance the body, transform into Inner Breath, heal injuries, and even transfer to others, serving multiple purposes.

In his past life, Zong Shou was able to dominate over hundreds of millions of players, and this Guiding Technique could be said to have contributed greatly to his accomplishments.

Normally, Zong Shou would practice inside the carriage, three times a day.

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

But for Yiin Yang, it was his first time witnessing it, and after just one glance, his eyes shone with a bright light, fixated.

Not until Zong Shou had completed the whole set of the Guiding Technique did the sharp light in Yiin Yang’s eyes recede.

He faintly said, “I wonder where the Princely Heir learned this set of movements.

If practiced diligently, even if one cannot become a great hero in the future, it will at least strengthen the body.”

Zong Shou nodded slightly in acknowledgment, though a flicker of a different color crossed his face.

During these seven days, the only thing he knew was that he had once studied in the very familiar Coastal Academy for quite a time until recently being taken away by two people.

Also, with his level of experience and knowledge, he still could not fathom the depths of Yiin Yang.

Cool and composed with measured actions, he did not seem at all like a coachman.

After finishing the pork, Yiin Yang Chuxue both entered meditation to regulate their breathing.

Their breathing gradually evened out, as if they were asleep.

Zong Shou also sat down cross-legged, first trying to run a fundamental mental method, transforming the Essence in his Qi Sea into Inner Breath.

At first, he felt nothing, but when those streams of energy just entered his meridians, he felt as though ten thousand steel needles were piercing his body simultaneously, almost making him cry out in pain.

Zong Shou instinctively inhaled sharply; he didn’t want to disturb the two people beside him and forcefully endured the pain.

Only after a few moments did the intense pain slightly subside, leaving his back drenched in cold sweat.

“As expected!

It’s due to the parallel meridians!”

A flash of realization crossed his eyes, and Zong Shou motivated his Thought to let that warmth flow back into his Qi Sea, temporarily abandoning the thought of continuing to practice Inner Qi.

In the Cloud Realm, all clans base their cultivation on the nine Wheel Meridians that encircle the body.

And when Zong Shou had just circulated his energy, he distinctly felt the Essence in his meridians taking separate paths.

As he suspected, there were Dual Veins existing within his body!

This body was that of a Half-demon, possessing bloodlines of the Human Clan and Fox species, both of extraordinary origins, combining the strengths of both, ensuring that his root bone and Five Elements Spirit Root were extraordinary.

However, it was precisely because of this that there was conflict between them, causing his physical strength to be frighteningly low, making it impossible for him to normally cultivate any Inner Breath.

For others with a dual-vein constitution like this, most would have given up the idea of practicing Martial Arts.

To him, however, it wasn’t entirely hopeless.

Coming to this world, he was most grateful for the decades of reading in his previous life, and the verification in the virtual Illusion Realm, which had accumulated Martial Arts experience far surpassing any Martial Artist of this era!

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

Either he would practice a special Kung Fu suitable for Dual Veins, of which there were several in Zong Shou’s memory, all of them quite powerful—at least above Absolute Skills—but none was suitable.

Alternatively, he would need to obtain several Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to enhance one of his bloodlines to overpower the other, improving his physique and unifying the Dual Veins.

But such natural treasures were even rarer.

Zong Shou hadn’t even thought about it.

“It really serves me right!

Fiery Fire Cold Flame Technique, Great Reversed Luo Divine Technique, Sun and Moon Radiant Wheel, when I got my hands on them back then, why didn’t I look closely?

Although they were a bit rubbish—”

As he was pondering, suddenly like a flash of spirit light, a passage of text swept through his mind.

“The way of heaven takes from the excess to supplement the deficient.

The way of man takes from the deficient to sustain the excess—”

Zong Shou’s expression momentarily stunned.

Then, as if seeing something horrifying, he hastily drove those memories out of his consciousness, deeply burying them.

This text was from an Ancient Martial Arts secret technique he had incidentally acquired in his early years, named ‘Swallowing Essence.’ It had once caused endless turmoil in the Cloud Realm, leading to countless bloody storms, and its reputation spread across worlds, regarded as taboo by people.

If he used this technique, it could indeed resolve the conflict between his bloodlines and even rapidly increase his cultivation.

However, unless it was absolutely necessary, when facing a life-threatening situation, he would not want to touch it lightly.

Especially with his Dual Veins, it could likely cause more complications.

Yet at this moment, he was still hesitating.

With a sigh of distress, Zong Shou then dispersed all the gathered Essence into his four limbs and hundred bones, enhancing his body.

Particularly his hands, making the muscle groups even more solid and the sinews even tougher.

He then cut off a piece of Iron Wood commonly found in the Cloud Realm from a nearby forest, using his Fine Steel Treasure Sword, and carved several wooden Flying Knives, each about half a foot long.

Standing beside the carriage window, Zong Shou slightly lifted his wrist, and a black streak of light shot out from his sleeve instantly.

In a moment, it had reached a small tree twenty paces outside the carriage, firmly nailing it there with a ‘thwack’ sound.

“Left by half a millimeter!”

Since someone else started operating the vehicle, this Cloud Flipping Chariot’s speed had increased by a fraction.

The small tree used as a target swept past in his field of vision and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
