Chapter 49: Dragon-Shaped Fist

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Herlyee Translations

Becoming famous, Pang Meng in charge, Mi Tails master…

After coming out of Eldest Senior Brother’s martial arts hall, the anger on Lin Yan’s face suddenly flashed, but he hid it deeply.

After taking a deep breath to calm down, Lin Yan reviewed what Eldest Senior Brother had just said.

Eldest Senior Brother did not say it explicitly, but he also revealed the reason for today’s sudden and strange “press conference” to him.

Mi Tai became Pang Meng’s disciple, and the Pavilion Master arranged for him to become famous…

It was obvious that the Pavilion Master treated him as a whetstone and wanted him to sharpen Mi Tai!

He had never provoked others and kept a low profile.

But even so, he was still inexplicably arranged to be a whetstone. He could only say that it was a blame from the sky.

“If my foundation is really destroyed, I might suffer greatly in the future. I might even lose my life…

“However, whetstone? I wonder who is the saber and who is the stone?”

At this moment, a few disciples walked over. Some were tall, some short, some fat, and some thin. There were men and women. When they saw Lin Yan, they stopped respectfully. “Senior Brother Lin!’

Lin Yan paused and nodded at them.

Among the few of them, a tall and well-built female disciple in black clothes with a beautiful face asked softly, “Senior Brother Lin, I still have many doubts on the Five Animal Hands Technique. Can you spare some time to enlighten me? Of course, in terms of price, anything is negotiable…”

After saying that, her fair face turned red, like a red peach waiting to be plucked.

Lin Yan’s heart skipped a beat. “My lecture is very expensive…”

‘Whatever you say! I’m fine with anything!” The redness on the woman’s face deepened, and her eyes seemed to be filled with spring.

Lin Yan thought for a moment and nodded. “Alright, let’s talk over there.”

Two hours later, after sending away the resentful female disciple, Lin Yan weighed the string of copper coins in his hand and felt the depression in his heart slowly dissipate.

It seemed that it was not all bad to be famous in Wu Yard.

For three consecutive days, Lin Yan relied on his reputation to receive a few extra payments and easily earned four to five taels of silver.

Fame and fortune were indeed together.

On the other hand, Eldest Senior Brother seemed to feel sorry for Lin Yan. He explained and demonstrated the Dragon- Shaped Fist for him every day and would guide him in actual combat from time to time.

On the fourth day, it was already past the three-day observation period. After Eldest Senior Brother taught him the key points, Lin Yan began to practice the Dragon- Shaped Fist.

The Dragon- Shaped Fist took the spirit of a swimming dragon entering the sea. There were a total of 64 changes. It was like the dragon soaring, twisting and turning, changing endlessly.

It prioritized gait. He had to combine force and strength. The fist moved with the foot and moved to fight. When cultivated to a high level, one’s speed could be twice as fast as others.

Lin Yan maintained a relaxed body. He lowered his shoulders and elbows, held his chest, and raised his back. He began to practice the movements that Eldest Senior Brother had taught him. His hands were like clouds, and his steps were like flowing water. He tried his best to experience the concept of “steady and strong” that Eldest Senior Brother had mentioned.

As he moved over and over again, Lin Yan was surprised to discover that he was extremely compatible with the Dragon- Shaped Fist. The most obvious manifestation was the connection between the movements.

Multiple movements were connected. Originally, he had to practice frequently to be proficient and smooth. However, he only tried a few times before the barrier between his movements was quickly broken.

“Like an ape guarding, like a tiger sitting, like a crane spinning, like a bear dripping in mud, like a deer stepping on snow…”

The more he practiced, the more Lin Yan thought about it. The five sentences that Eldest Senior Brother had summarized back then were deeply related to the Dragon-Shaped Fist. To a certain extent, the Five Animal Hands Technique could be said to be the prerequisite foundation of the Dragon-Shaped Fist!

However, this prerequisite foundation might only be effective if he cultivated a certain form of the Five Animal Hands Technique to the True Intent realm.

As for his fusion of the five forms, he had almost perfectly established the foundation of the Dragon-Shaped Fist.

To him, the Dragon -Shaped Fist was like a blurry window paper when two people were in love. It was broken with a poke and everything went smoothly.

Soon, he felt the blood energy in his body begin to tremble rhythmically with his muscles and bones. It was as if there was a signal that made his blood energy stir like a reservoir that had been accumulating for a long time. It was as if it was about to roar down impatiently when the floodgates were opened.

However, at the same time, he also felt a slight pain in his muscles and bones. The boiling blood energy filled his muscles and bones, as if a narrow cabinet was filled with quilts.

Zang Wei saw that not long after Lin Yan started, the sluggishness in his movements actually quickly faded. There was a hint of agility and familiarity. His pupils instantly constricted, revealing a look of deep shock.

He had heard from his master that the True Intent of a certain form of the Five Animal Hands Technique would be supplementary to the Dragon-Shaped Fist.

However, compared to the difficulty of cultivating the Five Animal Hands Technique to its True Intent, this effect was not satisfactory.

But when it came to Lin Yan, wasn’t this auxiliary effect a little shocking?

He remembered that even Mi Tai took at least five to six days to cultivate to Lin Yan’s level, right?

But how long had Lin Yan been practicing? Three times? Or four times?

On further thought, Mi Tai had spent half a month to barely master the circulation of blood energy. However, with Lin Yan’s speed, wouldn’t he be able to stimulate the circulation of blood energy by today?

The man was simply a freak!

However, when he saw Lin Yan’s skin gradually turn red and reveal a full state, his brows furrowed tightly again. In the end, his face was filled with shock, and all his helplessness turned into deep regret.

Lin Yan keenly caught the change in Eldest Senior Brother’s expression and immediately stopped.

“Eldest Senior Brother, is there a problem with my training?”

Zang Wei sighed slightly. ‘Good news and bad news.”

Lin Yan’s heart skipped a beat as he asked, ‘What’s the good news?”

“The good news is that you’ve practiced the Dragon-Shaped Fist too well. You’ve practiced it better and faster than anyone I’ve seen. I’m afraid you’ll be able to push your blood energy to circulate in less than an hour.

“Even the most monstrous genius I’ve seen needs at least three days to reach the point of blood energy circulation!”

“I see.”

Lin Yan was surprised and delighted. Didn’t this mean that his strength could reach a new level today?

Over the past few days, through Eldest Senior Brother’s teachings, he had already understood the importance of the circulation of blood energy.

If blood energy was compared to fuel, then the circulation of blood energy was to inject fuel into the engine to burn and transform it into energy output.

If a martial artist did not master the circulation of blood energy, he would at most be a boor with a slightly stronger physique.

Only by mastering the circulation of blood energy and using it to fight could a martial artist truly unleash their strength and even use some martial arts killing techniques.

However, the human body was fragile. When blood energy circulated, it was like lead mercury flowing in the body, making it extremely easy to harm the body. Therefore, ordinary martial artists needed a few months to experiment and slowly become familiar with it.

Only geniuses with extraordinary talent and shocking control over themselves could master the circulation of blood energy in a short period of time.

Lin Yan realized that he had acted too quickly. He could only blame himself for grasping the Dragon -Shaped Fist too easily after the five forms fused.

He could only change the subject. “What about the bad news?”

Zang Wei sighed and said, “Do you still remember what I told you? Other than the circulation of blood energy, there’s another key that a Strength Realm martial artist has to master?”

Lin Yan nodded and said, “l remember. It’s the essence of the martial arts technique. Every martial arts technique has its essence. Only by grasping the essence can you unleash the true power of the martial arts technique.”

“Then how do I master the essence?”

“Through the circulation of blood energy to temper the corresponding body parts.”

Lin Yan remembered it very clearly. “Eldest Senior Brother said that people can’t have all the best. Every martial art has a focus. For example, our Dragon- Shaped Fist can promote blood energy when cultivating and focus on tempering the strength of the feet and waist. That’s why it can increase speed and form powerful flexibility.”

Zang Wei nodded and said, “That’s right. While martial artists temper their bodies, they can also temper and accumulate blood energy. When the tempering is completed and their blood energy accumulates to perfection, they can begin to comprehend and integrate their strength to attempt to break through to the Tough Realm.”

At this point, he couldn’t bear it and said, “Did you feel that your muscles and bones were sore just now, as if your entire body was about to explode?”

Lin Yan had already realized what Eldest Senior Brother wanted to say. He nodded and said, “That’s right.”

“This is because your blood energy is full and has reached the upper limit of your muscles and bones.

“However, after a martial artist’s blood energy at the Strength Realm transforms, the upper limit of their blood energy will increase once.

“Therefore, the first time you cultivate, your blood energy usually increases the fastest. It’s impossible for your blood energy to be full and unable to increase.”

Lin Yan lowered his eyes and pretended to be disappointed. “Eldest Senior Brother, do you mean that my blood energy has already reached the upper limit of my body?”

Zang Wei nodded and sighed. “From what I saw just now, your skin was red and swollen as if it was about to explode. It’s obvious that your blood energy has reached its limit.

“To martial artists, blood energy is the foundation. However, your total blood energy has already reached the upper limit and can’t increase anymore.

“With such a total amount, it’s far from enough to temper the body, let alone reach the standard of integrating force, so…”

Lin Yan pretended to be helpless. “So, when I master the circulation of blood energy, it will almost be the limit of my strength in my life, right? Is it because of the Spirit Recovery Pill?”

Zang Wei nodded helplessly. “Tell me, why did you insist on eating the Spirit Recovery Pill back then?”

Lin Yan was silent for a moment before saying, “Eldest Senior Brother, I’ll take my leave first.”

Zang Wei sighed and waved his hand. “Alright, go and calm down alone.”

When Lin Yan walked out of Zang Wei’s house and there was no one around, he could no longer suppress the joy in his heart and smiled widely.

He had indeed reached the upper limit of his blood energy, but it was not the Strength Realm, but the upper limit before his blood energy transformed.

After his blood energy transformed, his upper limit would naturally increase.

Moreover, with his current powerful blood energy foundation, the upper limit of his Strength Realm blood energy was probably far from what ordinary martial artists could compare to!
