Azure Dragon Origin-Returning Art, Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Fist
An unnamed place.
In the dimly lit side room, a few oil lamps flickered with a yellowish light, and dark red curtains hung on the walls.
This is a small outpost of the Heaven Overturning Cult Branch Altar Cangwu Prefecture.
One of them sat in the main seat, and not far in front of him, a young believer walked through the hall.
He walked slowly, his expression showed no humility, and the people around him looked at him with a hint of envy.
This person's cultivation level was not high, only at the Body Tempering Realm, yet when he walked among the Meridian Opening Stewards, he did not show the respect that a subordinate should show to a superior.
This person is the apple of the eye of the Black Crow Deputy Altar Master. He has been in the sect for less than a year and is already almost at the stage of opening the Meridian Opening.
Black Crow even gave him a special nickname: "Number One".
Number One walked through the crowd, his gaze fixed straight ahead, paying no attention to anyone.
He had an ordinary appearance, but there was something incongruous about him in a crowd.
Black Crow sat in the main seat, watching Number One walk over, his gaze calm.
Number One stepped forward; he only showed a respectful expression when facing Black Crow.
"Altar Master."
The moment the words left his mouth, Black Crow vanished from the main seat and reappeared in front of Number One.
Black Crow raised his hand and slapped Number One across the face.
The sound was loud, clear, and crisp.
Number One was sent flying by the slap, crashing into a wooden table against the wall, overturning everything on the table to the ground.
Several of Number One's front teeth, mixed with blood and foam, fell out of his mouth, landed on the ground, and rolled a few times.
The already quiet hall became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
No one dared to speak, and no one dared to step forward to plead for them.
Number One lay on the ground, blood still seeping from the corner of his mouth, his chest heaving rapidly.
Black Crow's slap nearly cost him his life.
Number One showed no emotion; he knew why the Deputy Altar Master had personally taken action.
Black Crow bent down, grabbed Number One's hair, lifted his blood-stained face, and stared into Number One's eyes.
"I always thought you would hate this world and join us in accomplishing a great Millennial Great Cause! But I never imagined you would betray the Holy Cult."
Black Crow's voice was much lower, carrying a chill.
Number One did not refute, letting the blood flow from the corner of his mouth.
Black Crow released his grip, returned to his seat, and regained his composure. "I won't kill you, because you have a greater use to you."
"Don't worry, I guarantee you'll suffer more than death when that happens!"
Black Crow turned to a deacon beside him. "Keep an eye on him, never leave his side. Continue supplying him with Blood Pill, even if he doesn't want to eat, pry open his mouth and feed him! Do you understand?"
The deacon immediately stepped forward, pulled Number One up from the ground, and dragged him to the side to stand still.
There's only one reason why Black Crow didn't kill Number One.
Number One has a special physique, which allows him to perfectly match a unique Secret Art of the Heaven Overturning Cult.
This physique itself doesn't provide any combat power boost, nor does it offer any boost from martial arts cultivation.
However, as a vessel for the Secret Art of the Heaven Overturning Cult, it is one in ten thousand.
There was originally another suitable person, and Black Crow was preparing to train the Song Family's "talents," but unfortunately, he was killed by that brat from the Four Symbols Sect.
This has resulted in only Number One remaining. If we kill him, it will take an unknown amount of time to find someone with a suitable physique.
The two protectors, Blood Hand Blood Jade, were killed, and Song Yuanshan also died.
All this mess is related to that brat from the Four Symbols Sect.
If given the chance, I will kill him.
The next morning, Ye An went to the back mountain.
The elder guarding the formation was still the same gaunt old man. After seeing Ye An, he glanced at the Token again and said, "You know the rules, go in."
Ye An bowed and stepped into the cave.
Ye An poured out a Flawless Qi Condensation Pill and put it into his mouth.
The moment the pill entered the stomach, its medicinal power dissolved and sank into the Dantian along the meridians.
Ye An then channeled his True Essence into the array patterns.
Just like last time, the Origin Energy surged up from the ground.
Seven days later.
[Black Tortoise Sea-Suppressing Art - Qi Condensation Chapter (First Layer): 589/800]
Ye An finished his practice and stood up, feeling that the vortex of Qi Vortex in his Dantian had become much thicker.
It rose by more than 100 points in just seven days, this time in conjunction with the Flawless Qi Condensation Pill.
His cultivation speed was much faster than Ye An had expected.
Ye An is still more than 200 points away from the Mid Qi Condensation. Even if he doesn't have the opportunity to enter the cultivation room for the next two months, he can still cultivate normally to the Mid Qi Condensation.
Ye An left the cultivation room and went directly to the Inner Sect Scripture Repository.
This not only pays off the previous debt, but also allows me to use the second-tier Martial Arts selection skill for free.
Fu Chongshan sat at the counter and saw Ye An enter. He put down the booklet in his hand and said, "You look good. Did you just come out of the Four Symbols Origin-Returning Array?"
Ye An stepped forward and Contribution Point he owed. "Yes, Elder Fu, I've come to repay the Contribution Point I owed last time."
After calculating the amount, Fu Chongshan crossed it out in the register. "Hmm, it's paid off."
"You've come here this time not just to pay off the debt from last time, have you?"
"I heard you really stole the show this time, and the Sect Master must have given you a generous reward, right?"
Ye An smiled but didn't dare say anything more.
Seeing this, Fu Chongshan laughed, his tone laced with mockery. "The Heaven Overturning Cult is really unlucky to have run into you."
"But seriously, why did you go to the Black Tortoise Hall back then?"
Have you ever thought about switching to another branch of the organization?
"The Vermilion Bird Hall is quite good."
"Hall Master Zhu was once my junior sister. If I talk to her, I guarantee you'll have plenty of Qi Condensation Pill once you get in, and the resources will be no less than those of the Black Tortoise Hall."
Fu Chongshan spoke casually, but it was clear he wasn't joking; he genuinely intended to poach talent.
Ye An smiled and covered up his embarrassment, saying, "Thank you for your appreciation, Elder Fu. I appreciate it. However, since I am already a member of the Black Tortoise Hall, I have no intention of changing halls."
"Okay then."
Ye An to the second floor.
Ye An been to the second floor of the Inner Sect's Scripture Repository several times before, so his goal this time was clear.
Based on his previous impressions, Ye An arrived at the place he had envisioned.
"Azure Dragon Origin-Returning Art: Qi Condensation Chapter" -- Its attribute is Wind-Wood. When True Essence circulates, it flows like the wind, endlessly!
"Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Fist - Part 1" -- The fist technique is fierce and powerful, emphasizing large, sweeping movements to overwhelm the opponent with its momentum!
When Ye An first saw this fist, even Black Crow Late Qi Condensation, had to temporarily avoid its sharp edge.
From that moment on, Ye An had developed a craving for this punch.
After using up one free spot, you'll have more than enough Contribution Point to exchange for another one.
Fu Chongshan was puzzled when he saw that Ye An had chosen the Martial Arts and internal skills of the Azure Dragon Hall: "You took the White Tiger Hall's last time, and now you've taken the Azure Dragon Hall's. Have you forgotten that you're a disciple of the Black Tortoise Hall? You've almost acquired all Four Halls 'Martial Arts."
"This disciple simply wishes to learn more offensive techniques."
"The Four Halls Martial Arts each have their own strengths, and they are all of the Four Symbols. Perhaps they can learn from each other and maybe it will have a surprising effect?" Ye An put on an innocent look.
Fu Chongshan didn't offer the same advice as before. "Just know what you're doing."
Ye An clasped his hands in thanks. "Thank you, Elder Fu."
