Chapter 143: Chapter 83 [Dark Force Techniques] (5.2K)_3

"Does Dark Force seem like it unleashed all of his Inner Qi in one breath? Or perhaps his Inner Qi capacity is low?"

Zhang Feng, based on the previous cement impact, had some guesses.

But soon, Master Zheng regained his strength and looked at Zhang Feng.

Meanwhile,

Seeing Zhang Feng eager to try, Master Zheng knew what Zhang Feng wanted,

"Mr. Zhang, I know you want to learn Dark Force and experience it firsthand."

Master Zheng spoke with some helplessness, "But if you want to experience it yourself, you must be prepared to get hurt a bit, because even if I hold back, your skin and flesh will get injured.

It’s like I said before, my skills are insufficient to control Qi Force at will.

But masters of the top three forces can control it effortlessly."

"No problem." Since Zhang Feng had the mindset to give it a try, he quickly stretched out his robust forearm in front of himself,

"I have learned some Hard Qigong, and Master Zheng will hold back deliberately. This body of mine should be able to withstand it."

"Alright." Hearing this, Master Zheng stopped persuading and instead invited Zhang Feng into the courtyard.

When they arrived at the living room.

’Mr. Zhang is going to withstand Dark Force?’ The three were curious and moved closer, wanting to see if Mr. Zhang’s supposed Hard Qigong could withstand the eruption of Dark Force.

"Go get some alcohol and gauze." Master Zheng instructed a young man to go to the nearby room to fetch the items.

Once he came out, and the items were prepared.

"Mr. Zhang?" Master Zheng placed his hand on Zhang Feng’s arm, specially choosing a fleshy spot and avoiding the joints, "Are you ready?"

Zhang Feng nodded, gathering strength, "Please."

Master Zheng did not hesitate, but this time, he didn’t gather much force because he couldn’t hold back.

He only gathered just enough force to reach the threshold where Power could be unleashed.

But this gathering of force, though seemingly minor, could create a small pinhole five centimeters deep in an ordinary person’s skin and flesh.

And in the next second, his Dark Force burst forth, striking the outer side of Zhang Feng’s arm, even predicting that this piece of flesh could be pierced through.

Whoosh—

At the same time, perhaps because of the close proximity, the transmission of sound through flesh, Zhang Feng heard that Dark Force indeed made a sound.

But subsequently, Zhang Feng felt a chill on his arm, followed by a piercing pain.

Once Master Zheng’s hand left.

Zhang Feng saw a bead of cloudy water resembling sweat appear on his arm, below which was a slight redness and slowly seeping blood threads, as if pierced by a needle.

At this moment, Master Zheng saw that Zhang Feng had blocked much of the Dark Force, and looked at his hand with surprise, and then at Zhang Feng’s arm.

Lastly, he asked puzzled, "Mr. Zhang, are you sure you don’t know Dark Force?

Only when Dark Force is practiced to Great Success can one connect all muscles, skin, and flesh; ordinary Qi Force finds it hard to injure it."

’Can Dark Force still train the body?’ Hearing this, Zhang Feng was delighted to find that this Dark Force was not only a killing technique but also a ’Body Cultivation Skill.’

This is a good thing.

"I don’t know Dark Force." Zhang Feng currently had a great desire for Dark Force, "I’m not just amusing myself with Master Zheng either."

Zhang Feng disregarded their suspicious looks and spoke bluntly:

"The reason I can block some Dark Force may lie in my Constitution and Cultivation Technique, and I’m willing to share my Hard Qigong in exchange for the Dark Force training method.

We are all martial artists here, so let’s be straightforward, Master Zheng, give me a straightforward answer."

"No need for Hard Qigong..." Master Zheng slowly emerged from his suspicion and shook his head, "because the Dark Force method is no secret in the martial arts world."

He spoke, pointing to a nearby water kettle.

Zhang Feng looked over and saw that the water kettle was quite exquisite.

Its exterior depicted a lifelike dragon, appearing to have high artistic value.

"Please." Master Zheng also invited Zhang Feng to sit by the coffee table.

Zhang Feng didn’t say much, clasped his fists, and sat down to listen.

The three continued standing silently, but the shock at Zhang Feng’s ability to withstand Dark Force did not fade.

As Zhang Feng sat down.

Master Zheng began to explain the introduction to Dark Force,

"Dark Force is a method of circulating Qi within the body; this Qi, I don’t know how to describe it exactly, if I were to use a cliché, it would be that it can only be sensed but not expressed in words.

Regarding the human body, Mr. Zhang can imagine ’the body’ as a mythical ’dragon.’

Dark Force is the dragon’s ’cloud swallowing and fog exhaling,’ with limbs and torso being the dragon’s body, manifesting the Qi within."

"How does this transformation occur?" Zhang Feng humbly asked, "If it doesn’t pertain to your sect’s secrets, I hope Master Zheng can advise me, and I will definitely offer my gratitude."

Since Master Zheng mentioned ’can only be sensed but not expressed in words.’

The next thing must be the unique method within Master Zheng’s sect that allows one to understand this ’unable to express in words’ concept.

This must be valuable and profound.

Perhaps it is the essence gold words summarized by multiple senior predecessors of the sect.

"Since I said no need for gratitude, then it means no need for gratitude."

Master Zheng still refused compensation, instead pointing to the dragon-patterned kettle.

Whoosh—

The kettle had already boiled, and the steam was spurting out of the small cap on the spout like a small dragon exhaling clouds and fog.

"Dark Force is essentially a form of self-control."

Master Zheng explained, "And when exerting force, there’s a pent-up Qi within the body, which can be emitted through the pores.

Like sweating during a run.

But if one can seal the pores, as the kettle cover seals the dragon kettle, stopping internal Qi from dispersing.

Then when a pore opens, just like the kettle lid opening due to steam, Qi Force will burst forth.

This is the so-called Dark Force.

But wanting to master this method requires, first, control over the body.

Second, the muscles, skin, and membranes must be tempered.

Otherwise, when Dark Force erupts from the body, it is like a bullet bursting out.

If not trained in body cultivation, not injuring others first injures oneself; thus Dark Force is also a form of body cultivation, using this pent-up Qi to train the body."

Saying this, Master Zheng looked at Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng also glanced at the ordinary kettle and reconsidered Master Zheng’s words.

The words were quite ordinary, even not esoteric.

Just a kettle, and a simple exercise of holding Inner Qi, expressed simply.

But Zhang Feng grasped a truth.

What is ’True teaching in a sentence, false teaching in ten thousand scrolls.’

"Body cultivation also requires some prescriptions, which I will write down for you."

Master Zheng now instructed the young man to fetch paper and pen.

Zhang Feng also looked towards the young man, smiling and saying, "Please trouble Young Apprentice Zheng to bring an extra set of paper and pen."
