Proficient Levitation Technique, The Power of Blood Essence

Levitation Technique is a movement martial art. When practiced to a profound level, it can be used for self-preservation, potentially allowing one to escape even from a Martial Artist in the Blood Strengthening Realm.

Just like that man in black, Yang Heng couldn't do anything to him due to his excellent movement technique and could only fight him with sheer stamina.

If Yang Heng were to master this movement technique, his chances of survival would be significantly improved when facing a Blood Strengthening Realm Martial Artist who hadn't cultivated movement techniques.

Practicing it to Minor Accomplishment would also greatly increase his odds of survival.

These past few days while gathering herbs on the mountain, Yang Heng had been using Levitation Technique at all times. This allowed him to cover more ground to search for medicinal ingredients and also to train his movement technique, killing two birds with one stone.

After several days of practice, Levitation Technique had progressed significantly, and it was no longer far from the Proficient realm.

At this moment, Yang Heng could leap three zhang away with a single jump.

In just a few leaps, his figure would be fifty meters away.

His body was as light as a swallow's, as if he had merged with the wind, moving with the breeze. Not only was his speed fast, but he also consumed less stamina.

At this very moment, Yang Heng stood in the center of a clearing surrounded by trees. Bushes and weeds grew densely, completely encircling the clearing.

From the outside, one couldn't see anything inside.

One had to enter the clearing to see what was within.

This was an excellent place for cultivation.

Yang Heng had stumbled upon this treasure trove while searching for medicinal ingredients.

It was also the best training ground he had found so far.

Yang Heng was extremely excited at the time, grinning widely. He immediately put aside his herb-gathering task, entered the clearing, and began to cultivate.

He only left reluctantly when the sun began to set and the sky gradually darkened.

Fortunately, his hidden tasks were now complete, and he could cultivate to his heart's content.

In the center of the clearing, Yang Heng stood with his hands behind his back, his posture upright. His sleeves rustled in the wind, but he paid no mind, his gaze fixed on the falling leaves in the air.

The leaves floated irregularly in the air, scattering everywhere. Some of them drifted towards Yang Heng.

Just as a leaf was about to touch Yang Heng's hair, he moved!

Like a gentle breeze, he dodged the falling leaves one by one. There were countless leaves, yet not a single one touched him, nor did any even graze his body.

Yang Heng was like a spirit in the wind, darting around the clearing.

In an instant, Yang Heng's figure appeared in all directions, making it difficult to discern his true body.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the leaves, casting scattered rays on Yang Heng's face. From afar, one side of Yang Heng's face was bright, the other dark, constantly shifting, like a ferocious demon from hell, terrifying and horrifying.

Suddenly, Yang Heng stopped, closed his eyes tightly, and tilted his head back, as if basking in the sunlight.

Slowly, the corners of Yang Heng's mouth turned up more and more, a radiant smile blooming on his face.

Yang Heng broke into a smile, his body flickered slightly, and his figure vanished from his original spot.

Looking again, Yang Heng was already ten meters away.

He had broken through!

Levitation Technique had advanced to the Proficient realm!

The entire breakthrough process was incredibly smooth, without the slightest obstruction.

Yang Heng smiled, his body flickered again, and it seemed he was about to stop another ten meters away.

However, this time, just as he was about to land, he lightly tapped a floating leaf in the air with the tip of his right foot, as if stepping on solid ground. He used the momentum to leap further, tapping another dancing leaf in the air. Yang Heng leaped again, finally stopping thirty meters away.

This was Levitation Technique at the Proficient realm.

The ability to use objects in the air to leap again.

However, he could only use this aerial boost twice before needing to land again.

Yang Heng was overjoyed. With this, his ability to save himself had greatly increased.

After a moment of joy, Yang Heng began to practice Vajra Fist.

Levitation Technique had just broken through, and further practice would yield little progress.

Alternating between the two was the optimal path.

Ever since Vajra Fist reached the Proficient realm, coupled with his extreme busyness during this period, Yang Heng had gradually neglected its practice, and its progress had slowed.

Yang Heng knew very well that Vajra Fist was his best means of dealing with enemies, extremely important, even more so than Levitation Technique.

If one day he truly encountered a Martial Artist who also cultivated movement techniques, he would ultimately have to rely on Vajra Fist to fight.

Having practiced Vajra Fist to the Proficient realm, Yang Heng had gained a certain understanding of its cultivation.

Vajra Fist was fierce and unparalleled, an extremely powerful and yang-dominant fist technique.

When cultivating Vajra Fist, one must be completely focused, pouring all their strength into the practice of the fist technique. Only then would cultivation be like a fish in water, progressing rapidly.

Yang Heng knew that cultivating Vajra Fist consumed a great deal of stamina, far more than Levitation Technique.

Therefore, he had placed a piece of Old Ginseng in his mouth beforehand to replenish the consumed stamina.

With everything prepared, Yang Heng took off his shirt, bared his chest, and began to practice Vajra Fist.

Yang Heng had long memorized all the moves of the Vajra Fist in his mind. Even without the fist manual beside him, he could practice it with ease and fluency.

Every punch he threw contained immense power, his fist wind sharp and fierce. Wherever his fist landed, fallen leaves in front of him exploded into pieces.

At times, one could even hear the roar of the air, like thunder from the heavens, deafening.

Each move, each stance, was infinitely powerful. Stones he encountered along the way were all shattered by Yang Heng's blows. He was like a human bulldozer, sweeping away everything in his path, leaving nothing behind.

Suddenly, as Yang Heng was immersed in his practice, he took a step forward, instantly appearing before a large tree.

He threw a punch with all his might.

The tree in front of him was as soft as tofu, and Yang Heng's fist sank directly into it.

At the same time, a deafening roar erupted, like a mountain collapsing. The commotion was so great that it could be heard for miles.

Birds and beasts within a radius of several miles fled in terror, emitting panicked squawks.

Leaves fell all around, like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, a spectacular sight.

Seeing his fist stuck inside the tree and unable to move, Yang Heng immediately channeled his Blood Essence to his right arm without hesitation.

Instantly, his arm swelled as if inflated, veins and blood vessels clearly defined, muscles bulging like a thick metal pillar, radiating immense power.

Yang Heng gently swung his right arm.

With a crack

The tree snapped on either side of his fist and fell backward like a jade pillar supporting the sky.

BOOM!

Another loud noise echoed as the tree hit the ground, stirring up a gust of wind. The fallen leaves on the ground swirled again, and dirt splashed everywhere.

Yang Heng watched as the tree fell straight to the ground, leaving a three-inch deep indentation. Cracks of various sizes spread out from the indentation like a spiderweb.

Yang Heng had never expected that the explosion of his Blood Essence could cause such immense destructive power. He was truly shocked.

The commotion he had just caused was too great and might attract other Apprentices to investigate. Yang Heng decided to find another place to continue his cultivation.

Leaving the area, Yang Heng went to a backup training spot and resumed practicing the Vajra Fist.
