A Mysterious Feeling
Yi Yun stood still in the center of the white jade platform. The eyes of tens of thousands of people around him were all on Yi Yun, waiting to see how Yi Yun would perform.
"Um?"
Yi Yun sensed something and slightly raised his head. He saw a Floating Sky Ship slowly flying into the sky. Without a doubt, this was Lin Xin Tong and Su Jie's vehicle; they had come to see the re-election.
Just as Yi Yun took the stage, they came to watch the match. Yi Yun naturally knew that they had come specifically to see him.
However, Tao Yunxiao believed it was just a coincidence.
Tao Yunxiao was very frustrated. Why didn't Lin Xin Tong arrive just fifteen minutes earlier? She could have seen him shine!
Tao Yunxiao was excited at the thought of showing off his skills in front of a beautiful woman, but unfortunately, Lin Xin Tong missed out.
Looking at the Floating Sky Ship, Yi Yun seemed to "see" Lin Xin Tong looking at him through the window.
A slight smile crept onto Yi Yun's lips. The scenes of his fight with Lin Xin Tong Yi Yun last night replayed in his mind, and for a moment, many insights seemed to resurface.
After a good night's sleep, those insights became ambiguous, seemingly clear yet forgotten. Yi Yun wanted to see if he could truly digest these insights today.
Taking a deep breath, Yi Yun sensed the surrounding Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi).
The white jade platform beneath his feet was no ordinary structure; four Savage Bone Relic on the four pillars surrounding it were all glowing.
The array activated by this Savage Bone Relic gathers the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, making the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi on this jade platform more than a hundred times richer than that in the suburbs of the Tao Clan's city.
This is indeed a treasure for cultivation! Yi Yun also coveted this kind of treasure, but of course, even if he moved it, he wouldn't be able to activate it.
"Call--"
Yi Yun took deep breaths again and again, feeling all 36,000 pores on his body open up, greedily absorbing the energy gathered on the white jade platform. On this white jade platform, let alone practicing martial arts, even just standing still could increase one's cultivation level.
The Purple Crystal in Yi Yun's heart began to slowly rotate, and a small vortex was formed within Purple Crystal. The surrounding Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi) was drawn into this vortex and quickly flowed into the Purple Crystal.
The pure energy washed over every inch of Yi Yun's flesh and blood; the feeling was indescribable!
Yi Yun felt intoxicated, as if a drunkard had suddenly fallen into a Thousand-Year Vintage wine vat, where he could drink to his heart's content.
"Why is this kid just standing there without moving!"
"I wanted to see what he was really capable of, but he hasn't made a move yet. Is he just playing games with me?"
People were talking amongst themselves. Yi Yun had been standing on the stage for three minutes straight since the beginning.
Tao Yunxiao crossed his arms over his chest, a slight smile playing on his lips, looking completely arrogant. He didn't believe Yi Yun posed any threat to his first place in the second round.
Once the Female Gu Sword is drawn, who can contend with it?
Just then, Yi Yun raised his hand in a very simple starting stance, without stirring up any flow of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi. This was because any flow of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi that came near Yi Yun's body was completely absorbed by the Purple Crystal.
Waves of energy surged within him, and Yi Yun threw a punch!
His movements were not violent; on the contrary, they gave people a gentle feeling. Every move Yi Yun made was slow, but incredibly smooth and seamless!
To the average person, this style of boxing is nothing special. It's just ordinary moves, very simple. Most people could learn it a few times and perform it quite well.
For a moment, many viewers felt bored. "Are you kidding me? What kind of boxing is this? Let them go up there, they can fight too."
"Give us something really exciting, this is so boring!"
"Is he even capable?"
Some spectators were discussing among themselves that, in their opinion, the best boxing techniques were those that could split stone tablets and break trees. Many martial artists also shared this view.
Even if Yi Yun is far inferior to Tao Yunxiao, he still managed to get first place in the preliminary round, which means he can at least break a few pieces of Black Iron Rock!
Laymen watch the spectacle, experts watch the details.
Zhang Tan stared at Yi Yun's every move. At first, he didn't pay much attention, but slowly, his expression paused slightly, and a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
"Hmm? This kid's 'Dragon Marrow Tiger Bones Fist' actually seems to have a natural quality... This kind of fist technique doesn't seem like something he learned in the Great Wilderness!"
In order to enhance the people's ability to fight against ferocious beasts, the Tai'a Divine Kingdom announced the "Dragon Marrow Tiger Bones Fist" a long time ago. It has been circulating among the common people for a long time, and those who have come into contact with the "Dragon Marrow Tiger Bones Fist" are a mixed bag.
Later generations of martial artists often added their own interpretations to it, resulting in many different versions of "Dragon Marrow Tiger Bones Fist" today.
The widespread dissemination of the technique has its drawbacks. Not all of these different versions are necessarily good. Some are overly simplified, while others have been partially modified. To varying degrees, this has destroyed the essence of "Dragon Marrow Tiger Bones Fist." However, it has one advantage: it is easier to learn.
The truly rigorous and authentic "Dragon Marrow Tiger Bones Fist" might not have been passed down to the Great Wilderness, as it is too difficult to learn.
Yi Yun is demonstrating now is clearly the most authentic "Dragon Marrow Tiger Bones Fist," and with Lin Xin Tong's annotations, Yi Yun has already been able to capture some of its Mysterious Charm.
As the foundational martial art of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom, "Dragon Marrow Tiger Bones Fist" naturally became the standard fist technique for the army. Zhang Tan, as a commander of the Brocade Dragon Guard, had already mastered the orthodox "Dragon Marrow Tiger Bones Fist" to perfection, so he could clearly see the level of Yi Yun's fist technique.
"This kid has a good grasp of things."
Zhang Tan was somewhat surprised. Without comprehension, even if you come into contact with the authentic "Dragon Marrow Tiger Bones Fist," it is difficult to master it. Moreover, Yi Yun is only twelve years old, which is even more alarming!
In fact, neither the opinions of the crowd nor Zhang Tan's praise mattered to Yi Yun.
At this moment, Yi Yun, on the white jade platform, had completely entered a state of no law, no form, no emptiness, and no self. This was the first time Yi Yun had practiced martial arts in such a rich Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi.
Here, Purple Crystal can freely absorb the energy from Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi).
Although the energy contained in the Wild Bones is abundant, it is like a medicinal herb; the energy within is not entirely pure. After being absorbed into the body, it may be toxic, harmful, or cause instability. In fact, if there is too much energy to digest, it can even cause the body to explode and die.
But the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi is different; it is the most original and purest energy.
Of course, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi also has its drawbacks. It is far less powerful than the energy of the desolate bones, and it takes a long time to advance by absorbing the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi alone.
An ancient saying goes, "Those who eat meat are brave and fierce, while those who eat qi are immortal and divine."
The "Qi-devourers" here refer to those who are skilled at absorbing the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi. They can have long lifespans and strength comparable to that of gods!
When Yi Yun fully immersed himself in the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, his Essence, Energy, Spirit, and spirit merged into one. In the darkness, he seemed to touch the true meaning left behind in this set of boxing techniques by the founder of "Dragon Marrow Tiger Bones Fist".
This sliver of true meaning exists only in the most orthodox "Dragon Marrow Tiger Bones Fist," but now it is slowly coalescing within Yi Yun's spirit.
Every move and stance Yi Yun unleashed was imbued with this true meaning, as if it possessed a life of its own.
Within Yi Yun's sea of consciousness, this true meaning gave rise to a series of illusions.
It was a brocade dragon, and a fierce tiger was fighting it.
Dragons soar and tigers leap, the earth trembles and mountains shake!
This was the scene Yi Yun dreamed about last night. The difference was that this time he was awake, watching this Dragon Fights Tiger with crystal clarity in every detail.
Yi Yun once again experienced the same profound feeling he had last night when practicing "Dragon Marrow Tiger Bones Fist" in the woods on the outskirts of the city.
At that time, the feeling was like a shadow, something he couldn't grasp.
But today, he caught it!
Yi Yun finally understood what this mysterious feeling was.
