Chapter 7: Martial Skills

  Hei Feng Village Hall

  The second master, Xia Ye, furrowed his brow and sat in the taishi chair, looking at his son who was standing before him with a respectful expression. He opened his mouth and said, "So to speak, the Yuanshen Grass has now fallen into Xia Lin's hands?"

  "Yes, Father!" Xia Cheng said with some resentment, "He actually relied on his identity as the young master of Hei Feng Gang to forcibly take away the Yuan Ling Grass. According to the rules of Hei Feng Gang, I could only let him take it."

  "Huh?" Hakanishi was somewhat surprised, "That kid can actually use his presence to intimidate others?"

  "I think he's just pretending to be crazy." Xia Cheng snorted, "But these problems aren't big deals, without real power, everything is in vain. However, letting him stir up trouble like this, the matter of breaking through the eighth realm can only be temporarily put on hold. Originally, it was a sure win for me, but now it's a bit uncertain. What worries me even more is that if he targets me completely over the next two days and even gives the Yuanshen Grass to Third Brother or Fifth Sister, then we'll be in real trouble!"

  "To control the Xia family, one must control Heifeng Village. And to control Heifeng Village, this successor's identity, you must take it into your own hands! I've waited for ten years for this opportunity, how could it be disrupted by a little kid like him?" Xia Ye coldly snorted, "Cheng Er, later I'll have the steward find another Xuanling Grass for you. For these two months, don't bother with anything else, just focus on closed-door training."

  "Xuanling Grass?" Xia Cheng's eyes suddenly widened, and a look of excitement flashed in his eyes. Xuanling Grass! It was actually Xuanling Grass! This was an even more powerful spirit grass than Yuanling Grass.

  For a moment, Xia Cheng was somewhat excited, haha, Xia Lin, you probably didn't expect it, you snatched the Yuanshen Grass away, but I unexpectedly benefited from the disaster and got my father to take out his treasured Xuanshen Grass.

  "What about Xia Lin's matter..." Xia Cheng asked somewhat hesitantly.

  "Let's just forget about what happened last time, but I won't let him continue to cause trouble. I'll take care of this matter, you don't need to worry about it, go ahead and leave." Xia Ye said calmly.

  "Yes, Father."

  Xia Cheng departed with a smile on his face, for with the help of the mystical grass, this time's first place was within his grasp!

  ……

  A flash of brightness flickered in his eyes as Xia Lin walked to the table, opened the wooden box, and took out that lively and dynamic spiritual grass, gazing at it for a moment.

  "This time, it's all up to you!"

  Lingcao if separated and crushed, will cause the loss of medicinal power. In order to maintain the greatest enhancement effect, after finishing speaking, Xia Lin did not hesitate at all, and swallowed the entire Yu Lingcao in one mouthful!

  This time, he also wants to give it his all!

  Boom!

  Unlike ordinary spiritual grass, the yuan spiritual grass suddenly enters the body and quickly expands its efficacy. A vast medicinal power spreads throughout the body, dispersing in the limbs and internal organs.

  Po Tian Jue was operating at high speed under Xia Lin's command, rapidly transforming its medicinal properties.

  However, the medicinal power of Yuán Líng Cǎo was enormous, and the surging medicinal power almost burst forth from Xià Lín's body. Threads of blood seeped out from his skin.

  Summer arrived, teeth clenched, enduring this huge impact force.

  Something went wrong.

  The effect of ordinary spiritual grass is almost no difficulty for him, originally thought that the first product spiritual grass would be a little lighter, but unexpectedly, the gap between them is so huge!

  One primordial spirit grass can actually be compared to over a hundred ordinary spirit grasses!

  The terrifying efficacy almost blew him up entirely.

  His teeth were almost biting out blood, but Xia Lin persisted. He had endured the years of invigorating collaterals and resolving stasis, so could he not endure a mere Yuanlingcao?

  Clutching his fists tightly, the blue veins on his arms bulged out, and a thread of fresh blood seeped out, Xia Lin struggled to hold on.

  Persevere, persevere, and persevere again!

  Sweat as big as beans rolled down his forehead non-stop, Xia Lin felt a dizziness in his mind and almost gave up.

  Cultivation, just take it easy, why be so desperate? Give up, it's just a spiritual grass, if it's wasted, it's wasted, you can always find another one later. Besides, Father has also said that there's no need to rush.

  Aren't you worried? What about the trial three months later?!

  Is it really necessary to give up and be ridiculed by everyone?

  What's wrong with mom?

  Will I really never see her again in this lifetime?

  Absolutely unwilling to accept!

  Xia Lin's will suddenly firmed up, I came to this world, not to be bullied! Once vowed that one day I would stand by my mother's side, then I must do it!

  Boom!

  Under the impact of the surging medicinal power, Xia Lin persisted with his strong willpower, but what couldn't hold on first was surprisingly the blood vessels in his body.

  The channels in the body that are like rivers are constantly impacted and expanded under the swelling of medicine.

  The massive blood gas is fully mobilized, starting to move continuously inside the body, swallowing the medicinal power it encounters and then transforming it into blood gas.

  The expansion of blood vessels in the body is also getting bigger and bigger, 32%, 35%, 38%, 40%!

  Breakthrough!

  When his blood vessels expanded by forty percent, Xia Lin's body shook and the power within him increased once again!

  Forty percent, equivalent to a warrior's fourth-level physique.

  Suddenly broke through to the fourth layer of the tempered body, the precarious crisis seemed to have been alleviated, but at this time, the medicinal power of the yuanling grass had only consumed a small part.

  The surging blood and medicinal forces continued to clash and compete, while Xia Lin gritted her teeth and persisted, with the internal struggle raging on.

  Soon, the blood and medicine reached a strange balance.

  At this time, Xia Lin's agile blood vessels had already reached forty-nine percent!

  Blood energy and medicine power hold balance, for Xia Lin, it's the moment of counterattack, heart spirit moves, surging blood energy drums up momentum to strike upwards, drowning and devouring the remaining medicine power.

  Boom!

  Without any surprise, Xia Lin's internal meridians expanded again, directly reaching fifty percent.

  The blood gas in the body accelerated, and the remaining medicinal power was nothing but a stubborn resistance, quickly being eliminated. When everything settled down, Xia Lin's Huo Xue level had already reached 52%.

  "Fifty-two percent, equivalent to five times the strength of tempered steel!"

  Xia's eyes flashed with surprise, the power of Yuanshencao was a bit beyond his imagination, and he almost couldn't hold on.

  But the result was also delightful, on the basis of the triple refinement of the body, two consecutive breakthroughs were made, and it directly rushed into the realm of the fifth refinement of the body!

  Lowering his head to take a look at himself, he found bloodstains and sweat stains all over his body. The bed was also covered in them everywhere.

  With a wry smile, Xia Lin flipped down from the bed, and at this moment, his body seemed to have not grown much bigger, still looking like a weak scholar. However, his skin and complexion had all returned to a healthy wheat color, with well-defined muscles on his body. With every move of his hand, there was a feeling of explosive power.

  Sitting down at the table, Xia Lin was surprised to find that a wooden bucket had been placed there, filled with clean water.

  He smiled silently, and Xia Lin's heart warmed up a bit. "This little girl Green, I'm cultivating, she doesn't even rest properly."

  Ya Tou serving Young Master is originally a matter of course, but for Xia Lin, such a considerate maid is not easy to come by, let alone the fact that Lü Er doesn't leave his side no matter how difficult things get.

  Take off dirty clothes and enter the wooden barrel. After washing your body clean, you will feel refreshed when you come out again.

  It was strange that even after he finished his bath, Lü'er still hadn't appeared. Normally, with such a big commotion, she would have come in to take a look even if he had just coughed.

  Shaking his head, he changed into a clean set of clothes and walked out with Xia Lin.

  The door of the room did not see Green, Xia Lin suddenly realized that Green had gone somewhere to play.

  Walking into the courtyard, Xia Lin took out Lingfeng Palm. Martial arts are divided into nine grades, with Grade 1 being the lowest. Lingfeng Palm is actually a top-notch palm technique of Grade 1.

  However, Xia Lin did not lose hope because of the rarity of Lingfeng Zhang's first-rate martial arts. Genuine martial arts skills were already extremely rare, and many people who had reached the third level of physical training could only rely on their own instincts to fight without any formal techniques. First-rate martial arts skills were highly valuable, let alone the fact that Lingfeng Palm was among the best in its class.

  Lingfeng Palm, with hand transforming into palm, emphasizes one word: fast. In the blink of an eye, it is like a swift wind, using strong and powerful palm winds to attack others.

  He had only turned to the first page, but Xia Lin was already entranced, and for someone who had never come into contact with martial arts before, it was incredibly amazing.

  Lingfeng Palm has a total of eight palms, each of which requires a large amount of Xuan Qi to support its activation. Each palm consumes more than the previous one, and in order to completely display the entire set of Lingfeng Palm, besides being extremely proficient in it, one also needs a large amount of Xuan Qi as foundation.

  After Xia Lin finished watching, she was eager to try it out and unconsciously started practicing according to the depiction of Ling Feng's palm.

  The only difference is that Xia Lin's body does not have any Xuan Qi, but instead has the blood of the ancient barbarian tribe!

  He circulated the vital energy along the route of Lingfeng Palm within his palm, and soon, Xia Lin felt a slight warmth in his palm. Following the way of Lingfeng Palm, he pushed out with one palm.

  A strong gust of wind appeared, slightly shaking in front of Xia Lin's palm.

  It works!

  Xia's eyes flashed with excitement, what he feared most was that the blood energy could not replace the Xuan energy circulation, but now it seemed that there was no major obstacle. Although the palm just now was very weak, he believed that this was his first attempt, and soon the power of Lingfeng Palm would increase.

  Overjoyed, Xia Lin waved his palm down time and again for a whole hour, and even though he had memorized all the routes, he still couldn't get out the second palm!

  Ling Feng's palm training can be practiced with just one heavy body, and the second palm can be swung out with two heavy bodies. At this time, he is actually at the level of five heavy bodies, so it's absolutely enough to talk about blood and energy.

  If there is a problem, it should also be a problem of blood and vital energy. Every time he swings his second palm, he can feel a slight incoherence.

  Thinking of this, his face changed color, and a hint of horror floated in his eyes. Could it be because of the blood?

  It's already this era now, martial arts that require blood and energy have long been extinct, where can you find martial arts that need to be triggered by blood and energy!

  A warrior relies on the mysterious energy as the foundation, and most martial techniques are universally applicable. However, cultivators usually have their own unique methods. He, who carries the bloodline of an ancient barbarian tribe, is naturally most suited for the Breaking Heaven Technique. If he can't find a martial technique that matches his blood energy, even if he becomes extremely powerful in the future, he will only be a brutish man with mere physical strength.

  He was certain to find the problem, Xia Lin shook his head firmly and prepared to continue practicing, seeking a solution. However, soon he suddenly discovered something was off, just now when he practiced Lingfeng Palm, it seemed that there had been a slight change within the Transmission Hall.

  With a sudden movement of his heart, Xia Lin plunged into it.

  Inside the Hundred Refining Pavilion, the second ancient book floating in mid-air had originally blank spaces, but now a line of small characters suddenly appeared: Lingfeng Palm, First-Rank Martial Skill, Control Level: One Palm.
