Flood Dragon Fist, an Earth Grade Martial Skill (Please Bookmark, Follow, and Recommend)

He Qing said, "Of course. I know you young people are full of vigor, and every one of you thinks you're the special one! How about this? This is the breathing method for Azure Dragon Fist. If you can keep it going for three minutes without getting hurt, I'll teach you Azure Dragon Fist!"

Yang Lie replied decisively, "Okay, Teacher!"

He Qing generously taught Yang Lie the breathing method for Azure Dragon Fist. Quite a few students listened intently from the side, but he did not stop them.

Yang Lie stepped into the Martial Arts Practice Field, assumed the Dragon Snake Stance Method, and began activating the breathing method for Azure Dragon Fist.

Once the breathing method was activated, Yang Lie's blood and qi began to boil, continuously transforming into true qi. After one minute, he could no longer control the boiling blood and qi within him. His body trembled, blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, and he could not maintain the Azure Dragon Fist breathing method. His face turned pale.

Nangong Minghai said gleefully, "See? He really failed! Reaching too high!"

"He really failed!"

"..."

A flurry of chatter rose from the side. Some people felt regret, while others took pleasure in his misfortune.

He Qing clapped his hands in praise. "Not bad!! Yang Lie, you actually held the Azure Dragon Breathing Method for one minute. Very good! You don't need to practice Python Great Strength Fist anymore. I'll teach you the Earth Grade Martial Skill, Flood Dragon Fist!"

Nangong Minghai's smile froze as he blurted out in disbelief, "What?! An Earth Grade Martial Skill?! He can actually cultivate an Earth Grade Martial Skill?!"

Last year, only Fang Lingxiu in the entire first-year class had cultivated an Earth Grade Martial Skill. In this Northern Hunting Competition, Fang Lingxiu had also been the only one to use one. It was clear just how difficult Earth Grade Martial Skills were to cultivate.

"So impressive!"

"As expected of the second-ranked student in the grade!"

"..."

The tone of the surrounding discussions changed completely. Every gaze was filled with complicated emotions such as envy and jealousy.

"Watch closely!"

He Qing shouted sharply and activated his true qi. He seemed to transform into a humanoid flood dragon, incomparably fierce as he swept across the entire Martial Arts Practice Field with terrifying breaths.

"So strong! This Flood Dragon Fist is countless times more profound than Snake Fist!!"

A blazing light flashed in Yang Lie's eyes as he stared fixedly at the Flood Dragon Fist He Qing was demonstrating.

"The essence of this Flood Dragon Fist lies mainly in its breathing method and exertion techniques. These sixteen Flood Dragon Fist moves are the foundation. Every move has its corresponding breathing method, exertion technique, and various variations."

He Qing taught Yang Lie the Flood Dragon Fist with great seriousness and explained every little trick for cultivating it one by one.

There were also manuals and materials for Earth Grade Martial Skills and Heaven-Rank Martial Skills on the black market, but those manuals and materials were incomplete, and no one knew where the traps lay.

Many little tricks for practicing fist techniques seemed insignificant, yet they were extremely important. Some took months to figure out, while others could save a tenth of one's cultivation time.

Under He Qing's careful instruction, Yang Lie quickly mastered Flood Dragon Fist and began practicing it in the Martial Arts Practice Field.

Yang Lie already possessed the complete strength of a third-tier high-grade Three Ring Golden Pattern Ferocious Snake. Practicing Flood Dragon Fist felt as natural to him as a fish taking to water. The immense vitality within his body was continuously transformed into blood and qi, which was then converted into Flood Dragon True Qi.

All of a sudden, the true qi within Yang Lie accumulated to a certain point and broke through naturally. He advanced to the third level of the Essence Solidification Realm. Vast, pure true qi flowed through his body, leaving him pleasantly warm and comfortable.

A trace of delighted surprise flashed through He Qing's eyes. "Good! Good! Good! What a fine prospect! He actually mastered Flood Dragon Fist so easily! It seems I misjudged him before! No, perhaps he awakened a dragon-serpent bloodline during the summer break!! He's become a bloodline martial artist!!"

A bloodline martial artist was a human martial artist who possessed the bloodline of some powerful Extraordinary Creature. After entering the interstellar era, human martial artists absorbed extraordinary knowledge from many civilizations and created all manner of brilliantly diverse extraordinary martial paths. Bloodline martial artists were one of them.

In the interstellar era, some top martial artists pursued even greater power by using biological methods to transplant the bloodlines of powerful Extraordinary Creatures. They then improved the secret arts cultivated by those Extraordinary Creatures into martial arts suited for humanity.

Fist techniques such as Flood Dragon Fist and Azure Dragon Fist had likewise been adapted by human martial artists from secret arts obtained from other races. As time passed and humans intermarried, many people came to possess the bloodlines of various powerful Extraordinary Creatures.

Once those humans awakened the power of their bloodlines, they became bloodline martial artists, and cultivating certain specific martial arts would yield twice the result with half the effort.

Furthermore, once martial artists reached the Golden Core Realm, their descendants generally possessed greater martial arts talent than ordinary people. Qian Xiner's martial arts talent was not poor, but she had always wanted to become a star, which was why her martial cultivation had remained so weak.

Nangong Minghai's eyes brimmed with jealousy and envy. Damn it, now that he has mastered the Earth Grade Martial Skill Flood Dragon Fist, his position as second in the grade is even more secure!

"Teacher, aside from Flood Dragon Fist, I also want to cultivate Horizontal Training Martial Arts. Can you teach me a powerful Horizontal Training Martial Art?"

After finishing his Flood Dragon Fist practice, Yang Lie approached He Qing and asked.

The top External Training Martial Arts were extremely formidable. Martial artists who cultivated them could use their physical bodies to withstand fire from 12.7-millimeter heavy rifles while still in the Essence Solidification Realm.

Yang Lie's defense was already formidable. If he cultivated Horizontal Training Martial Arts, he could gain even greater defensive power. Flood Dragon Fist could also greatly enhance his defense, but compared with dedicated External Training Martial Arts, it was still somewhat inferior.

"You want to learn an advanced External Training Martial Art? Then let me explain the pros and cons clearly first, and you can make your choice afterward! The basic principle of martial cultivation is to consume foods rich in spiritual energy, convert them into life energy through the body, then transform that life energy into blood and qi through cultivation, and finally convert blood and qi into true qi."

"Therefore, the foundation of all cultivation is consuming food rich in spiritual energy. However, before the Hundred Refinements Realm, the food and Pills our bodies can consume are limited, and each person's body can convert different amounts of life energy. That is why there is a distinction between ordinary people and geniuses."

"A so-called martial arts genius is simply a martial artist with slightly stronger comprehension and a body that converts life energy more efficiently."

"If you cultivate only Flood Dragon Fist, then Low-Grade Spirit Rice and second-tier low-grade Ferocious Beast Meat will be enough. But if you want to cultivate both Flood Dragon Fist and External Training Martial Arts, then you must consume Mid-Grade Spirit Rice, second-tier mid-grade or higher Ferocious Beast Meat, or Pills of equivalent potency. Otherwise, you may suffer nutritional depletion and injure yourself through training."

"That is why martial arts geniuses from poor families need sponsors! After hearing all that, do you still want to cultivate External Training Martial Arts?"

He Qing spoke with an indifferent expression.
