Cultivating Killing Moves

"Fish Dragon Dance, huh," Zeng Fan mused, the cultivation method for this ultimate move replaying in his mind. The ultimate move that came with the Fish Dragon Fist was a bit different from others; it was a method of accumulating power.

During combat, one would continuously build up strength, and upon reaching their limit, unleash it all at once. The point of explosion could be anywhere, and it was said to have no upper limit. The longer you fought, the more power you accumulated. Due to the limitations of the Body Tempering Realm, the higher your cultivation, the more power your body could withstand.

The Fish Dragon Dance was divided into the Fish Dance and the Dragon Dance. The Fish Dance primarily involved moving like a fish in water, learning a movement technique. After all, the longer the time, the greater your advantage, so movement techniques could help dodge more attacks. The Dragon Dance, on the other hand, learned a method of exerting force, like a dragon in the sky, gathering the accumulated power in a more advanced way to unleash an explosion.

Let's look at the Fish Dance first. As the learning method for the Fish Dance flashed through his mind, Zeng Fan couldn't help but look strange. The Fish Dance required one to observe the movements of fish in a lake or the ocean and cultivate the movement technique in the water.

"The main base for the Fish Dragon Dance is in the sea. Cultivating this movement technique would naturally be convenient, but where am I going to find an ocean?" Zeng Fan started to get a headache.

"I wonder if there's a large lake nearby." An ocean was definitely out of the question, but a lake might be worth a try. With that thought, Zeng Fan walked out the door, preparing to search carefully within the mountain range.

After leaving, he headed away from the disciples' living area, his mind still replaying memories of his journey, trying to recall if there were any lakes.

"Zeng Fan, where are you going?" a voice called out. Zeng Fan snapped back from his memories and turned to look.

"Brother Xu Yun, what a coincidence. I need to cultivate my ultimate move and have to find a lake." It was Xu Yun, with whom he had previously robbed spirit stones from those two people. He hadn't expected to run into him here. Zeng Fan greeted Xu Yun and planned to continue his search.

"Cultivating an ultimate move? A lake? Look what I have in my hand," Xu Yun said with a smile, lifting what he was holding.

Zeng Fan looked. In Xu Yun's hand were several freshly caught grass carp. "Where did you get these fish? Wait, having fish means there might be a lake nearby!" Zeng Fan was stunned for a moment upon seeing the fish, then became excited.

"Brother Xu, where did you catch these fish? Is there a lake nearby? Can you take me to see it?" Zeng Fan quickly asked Xu Yun.

"I usually enjoy fishing. After coming to the Sect, my hands got itchy, and I felt restless. So I asked around where there were lakes and fish, and I actually found one. I just went fishing for a bit today. I'll take you there first," Xu Yun said with a smile, lifting the grass carp in his hand.

"Thank you, Brother Xu!" Zeng Fan was also extremely excited. It was like getting a pillow just as he was about to fall asleep, saving him the trouble of searching. The cultivation of his ultimate move now had a direction.

Xu Yun led Zeng Fan towards a forest. The trees were lush, and a bluestone path extended from the outside inwards. It seemed few people came to this forest, and the path was covered with dead leaves and branches. However, neither of them cared about that. After walking for a while, a faint light gradually emanated from the leaves ahead.

"We're almost there, Brother Zeng," Xu Yun said, patting a leaf off his head and turning to Zeng Fan. Zeng Fan nodded and took a few more steps forward. A dazzling light flashed, and a lake appeared before Zeng Fan's eyes.

What appeared before Zeng Fan was a vast blue lake. The sunlight shone on the calm surface, reflecting a golden glow. Fish occasionally leaped out of the water, creating ripples.

"Will this lake meet your requirements?" Xu Yun asked Zeng Fan.

"It's more than enough. Thank you, Brother Xu. If you ever need my help with anything in the future, just ask," Zeng Fan clasped his fists at Xu Yun.

"You're too kind. Without you guys, I probably would have had my spirit stones robbed by now, and I wouldn't be so relaxed," Xu Yun returned the gesture to Zeng Fan and turned to leave.

After watching Xu Yun leave, Zeng Fan turned back to look at the lake. The first thing to learn for the Fish Dance was the movement of fish. Zeng Fan walked to the edge of the lake and observed the schools of fish on the surface.

After staring for a long time, Zeng Fan's eyes began to ache. He felt a faint sense of something, but it was as if there was a film in front of him. As soon as he broke through that film, his Fish Dance could officially begin cultivation.

"What am I missing?" Zeng Fan pondered by the lake. "Observing the fish's movements from the shore, even if I didn't completely memorize them, I remembered about seventy to eighty percent of how fish move in water. Wait! In the water!!!" Zeng Fan slapped his thigh fiercely. Fish Dance, Fish Dance, it's about learning how fish move in water. How could I see clearly standing on the shore? I need to get in the water!

A gleam appeared in Zeng Fan's eyes, and he no longer hesitated. The rustling sound of clothes being removed was heard, and a pale body cautiously slipped into the water, careful not to disturb the fish.

The lake water, with its slight chill, stimulated Zeng Fan's body. After entering the Body Tempering Realm, his body had already been strengthened. Zeng Fan could hold his breath for a considerable amount of time underwater. After adapting, he opened his eyes and carefully observed the fish's actions in the water: hunting, playing, swimming freely. The fish's movements were constantly being memorized by Zeng Fan. Gradually, he felt as if he had become a fish, living among the school of fish, moving with their activities.

The cultivation method for the Fish Dance in his mind gradually merged with the fish's movements. Zeng Fan struck a slightly strange pose in the water, his hands against his abdomen, his legs together, and he began to swim up and down. As he became more familiar with the posture, his speed in the water increased.

"I can't hold it anymore!" Zeng Fan suddenly poked his head out of the water, taking a deep breath. However, his face was filled with excitement. "I've grasped the basics of the Fish Dance! Now, all I need to do is practice every day and try to integrate this posture and movement on land. I'm sure I'll succeed!"
