Lian Youming's face was flushed crimson, his whole body scorching hot, as though he were inside a furnace.
But apart from his initial bewilderment, his expression soon settled into composure, along with astonishment.
How strange.
He had merely been practicing his breathing exercises as usual, cultivating the Iron Shirt. Yet as soon as his internal breath grew stronger, the qi-blood within him began surging wildly. At first, Lian Youming thought little of it, but then he found he could not suppress it. He could only hurriedly hold his breath and still his mind, draw his muscles inward, and switch to the Tiger Roaring Golden Bell Cover. Yet with that switch, the two streams of internal breath converged in his middle dantian. With each inhalation and exhalation, they underwent extraordinary changes, showing every sign of merging and mingling.
From there, it became unstoppable.
But he quickly realized that this was the sign of Dragon-Tiger Convergence.
Logically speaking, in terms of their level of development, his Golden Bell Cover should have been stronger than his Iron Shirt.
But it was now the height of summer, with the blazing sun overhead and yang energy flourishing between heaven and earth. In Daoist terms, the Dragon Roaring Iron Shirt was yang, its momentum directed outward. With every breath, it continually drew in the yang energy between heaven and earth, making his qi-blood boil.
His Golden Bell Cover, meanwhile, had already broken through the seventh stage and was yin in Daoist terms. He had only intended to expel the yang energy within him, never expecting this unintentional act to bring about such a change. Lian Youming's thoughts raced.
Or perhaps this was not an unexpected change, but some phenomenon brought about by the two great Elixir Skills.
"Could they bring each other to completion? That's it.
