Yin Wind Claw Peak! Dark Yin Finger Entry Level!

"Yin Wind Claw" is a technique on par with "Crimson Fiend Skill" in level. Unlike the two ultimate arts "Seven Injuries Fist" and "Wedding Dress Divine Skill," it's not complicated to cultivate.

With Su Que's Talent Value now higher than before, his progress in training "Yin Wind Claw" was lightning fast.

On the night of the fifth day, Su Que was deep in the woods, practicing Yin Wind Claw.

His hands curled into claws as his body leaped and bounded through the trees.

With every claw strike, a chill, sinister aura rippled through the air.

Yin Wind Claw had three components: one part trained the hands, one part absorbed Death Qi, and the last part consisted of the corresponding techniques.

Each time Su Que used the breathing and exhaling method recorded in "Yin Wind Claw" to absorb Death Qi, he would then practice the claw's moves.

After five days of training, his Yin Wind Claw had reached 5th Realm Peak Mastery 69%.

Like Crimson Fiend Skill, Yin Wind Claw was a Martial Arts in the martial world that had some flair, barely passable, but couldn't be called a true ultimate art.

Since its creation, Yin Wind Claw could only be cultivated to the 4th Realm Outstanding level.

However, thanks to Su Que's exceptional comprehension, he had pushed the training method of Yin Wind Claw to 5th Realm Peak Mastery.

After reaching 5th Realm Peak Mastery, Su Que's Lifespan rose to 186, an increase of 21 years from when Yin Wind Claw first entered 1st Realm Initial Glimpse.

His Talent Value also increased by 4 points, reaching 35.

Swish!

Su Que curled his hands into claws and swung them through the air, a chill aura radiating around his body.

Suddenly, he darted to the side and struck a tree with his claw.

Thud!

His right five fingers sank instantly into the trunk. Death Qi erupted, and the wood around the puncture visibly withered and rotted.

Thud!

Then, he drove his left five fingers into the same trunk, channeling Death Qi with both hands at full force.

Soon, the area around his ten fingers began to dry out, blacken, and decay.

When that section of the trunk had completely rotted through, the entire tree snapped at that point and toppled sideways.

The upper trunk and bare branches crashed to the ground with a loud noise, startling the sleeping birds in the forest.

'Yin Wind Claw's progress is at 5th Realm Peak Mastery 69% now. I might as well push it to the peak tonight.'

Su Que thought to himself, then kicked off the ground and swept through the forest, searching for beasts.

After a while, he found a deer. He lunged at it, curled his hands into claws, and thrust his ten fingers into the deer's body.

The deer let out a few muffled cries, its voice growing weaker. Its eyes dimmed at a visible rate, its fur withered and fell off, revealing skin that gradually blackened.

Su Que activated the unique breathing method of Yin Wind Claw, and a surge of Death Qi rushed from the deer's body, drawn into his hands.

Soon, the deer's corpse had turned into a pitch-black lump of rotting flesh.

Sensing the Death Qi was fully absorbed, Su Que pulled out his ten fingers and continued darting through other parts of the woods.

Before long, he found a tiger, thick with fat. He kicked off, lunged at it, and drove his clawed fingers down into the tiger's body.

Pfft!

His ten fingers sank into the tiger's flesh, and hot blood gushed out along them.

The tiger roared in pain and tried to swipe at Su Que with its claws.

But its claws only extended halfway before dropping limply.

Su Que felt the sticky warmth of the blood, activated the breathing method, and steadily absorbed the Death Qi.

After about half an hour, Su Que found three more beasts and pushed Yin Wind Claw to 5th Realm Peak Mastery 99%.

Su Que sensed that the chilling Death Qi he now released through Yin Wind Claw was several times denser than what Fan Wuyang had once emitted.

Recalling the scene of beating Fan Wuyang that day, he estimated that the man had only trained this skill to 3rd Realm Entry Level.

Fan Wuyang had spent ten or twenty years to reach 3rd Realm Entry Level, while Su Que had reached 5th Realm Peak Mastery in just five days.

'Fan Wuyang definitely didn't work as hard as I did!'

Su Que amused himself with the thought as he pulled out his ten fingers, planning to wash his hands at the river, then go home to sleep. Tomorrow, he would train the last remaining technique: Dark Yin Finger.

With Crimson Fiend Skill and Yin Wind Claw both at their peak, his Talent Value had risen from the original 24 to 35.

He intended to train Dark Yin Finger to its peak, boost his Talent Value further, and then tackle Seven Injuries Fist and Wedding Dress Divine Skill.

With a higher Talent Value, progress on those two ultimate arts would surely be faster.

Su Que first returned to the cave on Qinghua Mountain to grab some plant ash, then went to the river, crouched down, and washed his hands in the cool water.

Plant ash was good for cleaning. Since his hands had been soaked in beast blood for so long, if he didn't wash thoroughly, the smell of blood would linger—anyone close enough would catch it.

After scrubbing his hands clean, Su Que sprinted back toward Jade Water City.

The next morning, Su Que sat up in bed and took a folded, worn piece of parchment from his outer robe.

The method for cultivating "Dark Yin Finger" was recorded on this piece of sheepskin.

Su Que spread the sheepskin open and carefully examined the dark green characters written on it.

The cultivation method for "Dark Yin Finger" was far more normal than that of "Yin Wind Claw."

It bore considerable resemblance to the cultivation method of "Crimson Fiend Skill."

To cultivate "Dark Yin Finger," one had to use its unique breathing and exhalation techniques to nurture "Dark Yin True Qi" within the Triple Burner Meridian of the Hand-Shaoyang.

"Dark Yin True Qi" then fused with finger strength, becoming "Dark Yin Finger Force."

This finger force was yin-cold in nature. If it struck an enemy's body, it could freeze their flesh and blood. If injected into their meridians, it could freeze their meridians, flesh, and even their internal organs.

The Triple Burner Meridian of the Hand-Shaoyang was originally a meridian that nurtured yang energy. Cultivating yin energy within it would, over time, degrade the cultivator's constitution, cause their internal organs and bodily functions to decline, and even shorten their lifespan.

Seeing this, Su Que immediately confirmed that the prescription "Sun-Rising Powder" obtained from Luo You was meant to counteract the side effects of "Dark Yin Finger."

But he didn't need it, because these side effects would instead transform into beneficial effects for him.

After reading through the cultivation method for "Dark Yin Finger," Su Que folded the sheepskin back up and tucked it into his outer robe.

Then, he sat cross-legged on the bed, breathing according to the method recorded in the manual, and focused his mind on the Triple Burner Meridian of the Hand-Shaoyang, imagining a wisp of yin energy slowly brewing within the meridian.

Soon, Su Que felt a faint, cool sensation in the Triple Burner Meridian of the Hand-Shaoyang.

His heart stirred. He called up his attributes and glanced at them, indeed seeing that Dark Yin Finger had reached 99% Entry Level.

He dismissed the attributes, collected his Heart Intent, and continued to focus on that faint, elusive cool sensation in the Triple Burner Meridian of the Hand-Shaoyang.

Before long, that faint cool sensation grew increasingly distinct.

Suddenly, a wisp of cool True Qi was born within the Triple Burner Meridian of the Hand-Shaoyang, able to travel through various parts of his body at his will.
