Chapter 2327 - 2327 2317 Subduing Niu Shan

2327: Chapter 2317: Subduing Niu Shan 2327: Chapter 2317: Subduing Niu Shan Long Yan glanced slightly at Niu Shan on his shoulder, set him down, and spread him flat on the ground.

“Cough cough!”

Niu Shan coughed twice, the injuries caused by the Black Lightning Ball on his body had now completely vanished, leaving only some minor scars.

After all, with the Great Witch Physique, his healing ability was something Long Yan could only envy but not possess.

“It seems I’ve lost.”

Niu Shan tilted his head back, relaxed his body, and though his regenerative ability was freakish, the soreness all over his body was real.

Originally, no one in the village could defeat him, so he wanted to broaden his horizons and it was then he encountered Long Yan upon leaving.

This was indeed a sad affair.

“So, what are you going to do with me now?”

Even though Niu Shan was a bit dense, initially he stood opposed to Long Yan and guessed he would probably be killed.

“Damn it, if I could unleash That Force inside my body, I would never have lost.”

Watching Niu Shan sit up, an evil sense of amusement arose in Long Yan’s heart.

“You’ve already used it!”

“But from what I’ve seen, it’s just so-so.

It might be useful if you were lucid, but it only comes out when your mind is clouded.

Even if it’s strong, it’s useless.”

It must be said, this was truly a heart-piercing blow!

After listening to Long Yan’s words, Niu Shan sat dumbfounded on the ground, not knowing what to say.

His most prideful experience was belittled by Long Yan as worthless, but now the victor was Long Yan.

Niu Shan didn’t even know if he had used That Force, as in the past he would trigger it when he was barely conscious.

So when Long Yan spoke of being out of his mind, Niu Shan believed it to some extent, but he was still unwilling to concede defeat verbally.

Right now, however, the sight of him just made Long Yan feel a bit amused, and a thought occurred to him to take Niu Shan under his wing.

“How about following me from now on?

I’ll take you out to see the world.”

Long Yan, wearing a smile, looked at Niu Shan on the ground, causing the latter to stare in bewilderment.

“I don’t want to see the world; I just want to have a satisfying meal.”

“Pfft.”

Yin Yue couldn’t hold back and laughed, drawing Niu Shan’s angry glare.

“You’re mocking me!”

This prompted Yin Yue to quickly wave her hands and deny it, but she found this big fool to be quite amusing.

“Certainly.”

“Then I’ll be your little brother, that’s fine too.”

Niu Shan spoke with relish, for he had left the village simply to make a living.

Since Long Yan could provide him with a satisfying meal, he thought there would be no harm in following him.

“But have you always been aware of that force within your body?”

Long Yan was rather curious.

If Niu Shan knew how to unleash such power, why didn’t he try to trigger it from the start?

“Of course I knew.

I’ve always been aware of a force in my body, but I dared not use it.”

When Niu Shan said this, his gaze wandered, revealing a thoughtful expression.

Once on the mountain top, he had experienced the unleashing of his power, but at that time didn’t pay much heed to it.

By the time he awoke, the peaks of the surrounding mountains had been leveled by his own hand.

At the same time, Niu Shan gained a new nickname in his village, called Foolish Old Man.

Although the villagers treated Niu Shan as before on the surface, they were actually very fearful of him.

Normally they avoided Niu Shan, who was consequently isolated by the once harmonious village.

Despite his straightforward nature, Niu Shan was no fool and naturally knew that the villagers feared him.

So, he simply left.

Yet, although Niu Shan possessed great strength, he knew nothing else.

After being chased away for the tenth time, he finally took up the life of a bandit.

Having spent most of his savings on a knife and even seeking a teacher to learn the ropes of robbing, Niu Shan embarked on his first heist, and then he encountered Long Yan.

Niu Shan narrated calmly, but Yin Yue by his side was visibly indignant.

From the moment he spoke of being ostracized by the villagers, Yin Yue had clenched her fists tightly.

Long Yan gently placed his hand on Yin Yue’s small one and shook his head, his intention simple and clear.

Since Yin Yue was a cultivator, she didn’t think much of this power.

After all, among cultivators, there were many capable of moving mountains and reclaiming seas.

But the ones interacting with Niu Shan were just ordinary villagers, whose lives were simple and unremarkable.

Upon seeing someone like Niu Shan who could level mountain tops, they would undoubtedly view him as a monster.

Niu Shan shook his head slightly, apparently indifferent.

He had already moved past it upon leaving the village.

Since he had been defeated by Long Yan, perhaps the latter might know what was truly going on with his body.

“Yun Huang, do you know the cultivation method for the Great Witch Physique?”

Long Yan quietly asked Yun Huang, thinking there must be a solution for such a physique.

However, Yun Huang just shook her head.

The Great Witch Physique doesn’t absorb True Qi but relies solely on physical strength, with its own unique martial arts, which are a part of the bloodline inheritance and unknown to outsiders.

“Niu Shan, do you have any memories of martial arts techniques?”

Long Yan probed Niu Shan.

Although Niu Shan wasn’t a cultivator, asking someone about their martial arts was a very impolite thing to do, but Niu Shan showed no sign of offense and began to reflect seriously.

After a while, Niu Shan simply shook his head, as there was nothing of the sort in his memory.

But his dad had taught him a set of family martial arts and claimed that it would gradually guide him in using his power.

When Niu Shan told Long Yan about this, the latter’s eyes instantly lit up.

It seemed that Niu Shan did possess Things Inherited from the Great Witch’s Bloodline.

Right now, he asked Niu Shan to relay the martial arts he knew, thinking he might be able to identify the key points.

Speaking freely about his own martial arts, Long Yan was actually shocked, not because they were too weak, but because they were too strong, suitable only for the aberrant physical power of the Great Witch Physique to cultivate.

Many of the cultivation methods were unheard of by Long Yan.

Human cultivators simply couldn’t reach the terrifying intensity of physical cultivation.

Seeing Niu Shan staring at him in a daze, Long Yan let out a sigh of helplessness.

With such a character as Niu Shan, even if he held treasures in hand, he probably would not realize their worth, and might even discard them as useless.

Of course, these body-strengthening methods were only applicable to those with the Great Witch Physique; for humans to attempt cultivation, they’d likely explode and perish.

“From now on, you follow me, and I will teach you to cultivate the contents of this martial arts.”

This martial arts technique was roughly divided into two parts: one for body tempering, and the other for cultivating the Unique Energy of the Great Witch.
