True Understanding of Dragon Courage

Huo Ming hesitated for a moment, then picked up the teapot beside him and poured himself a full cup of tea.

"Then, Doctor Chu, be careful."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Huo Ming slammed his left hand on the table.

The force was transferred to the teacup, which remained intact, but the tea inside clumped together and jumped into the air.

Huo Ming punched the emerald green water ball with his right hand.

The water sphere instantly disintegrated into a cloud of white mist, clinging to the fist like tangled white lines.

Chu Tianshu felt a sharp edge coming towards him.

Each white line on that fist seemed to possess a sharp force capable of cutting through steel nails.

In the nick of time, he raised his right palm, palm facing outward, index finger pointing upward.

The tip of his index finger pierced through a white thread, and his finger stabbed at Huo Ming's wrist from below.

Bite!!

When the finger collided with the white line, it actually produced a metallic clang.

But when the fingertip pierced Huo Ming's wrist, there was no sound.

Huo Ming slightly raised his hand and withdrew it like lightning.

Chu Tianshu's finger seemed to have merely poked away a phantom.

Huo Ming knew that if he didn't use the power of the Dragon Vein Original Scripture, he would definitely not be a match for Chu Tianshu.

However, if the power of the Origin Canon is used, I'm afraid it might be difficult to control and could injure Doctor Chu.

So, when he launched his first attack, he used the tea to create a mist.

The sharp energy emanating from the fist was originally chaotic and colorless, making it extremely difficult to defend against.

The presence of water mist exposes the traces of internal energy, making them easier to spot and counter.

Unexpectedly, Chu Tianshu responded by severing a wisp of energy with a single finger.

At this, Huo Ming's eyes suddenly brightened, and he put aside his worries and pushed his palms against the edge of the table.

Sizzle! Crack crack crack crack!!

The edge of the wooden table suddenly lit up.

Two thin, dark lines stretched out toward the other side of the table.

As the scorch marks spread, they produced some short or long branches, like withered vine specimens or strange tree branches.

It started as just two lines, but as it got closer to the other side of the table, it split into dozens or even hundreds of thin black lines.

The whole process happened in the blink of an eye.

During the first move, Huo Ming deliberately used the water mist to make his energy visible.

But when he used this second move, his power was transmitted through the wood.

These scorch marks on the surface do not represent the true location of the force transmission.

This makes it even more concealed and terrifying than when he throws a normal punch.

Chu Tianshu also stretched out his hands, but instead of bracing them against the edge of the table on his side, he spread his arms and grabbed both sides of the square table.

Buzz!!

The cracks spreading wildly across the desktop suddenly stopped.

Amidst the barely perceptible tremors, tiny black dust particles broke off from the cracks and leaped into the air.

Huo Ming could see that more and more black dust was rising in the air in front of him.

The charred parts of the wood were expelled.

The teacups and teapot on the table all vibrated slightly, making soft sounds.

The power Huo Ming channeled into the table was like a monstrous python or dragon with more than a dozen heads.

The dozen or so snake heads stretched and contracted unpredictably, flicking their tongues and baring their fangs, changing rapidly and skillfully searching for weaknesses.

It gives the impression that there are actually a dozen thin, sharp rays of light inside the table, stretching and probing.

Chu Tianshu's power flowed like an endless tide, neutralizing the attacks of these sharp lights.

Even with only one percent of the aftershocks overflowing, the items on the table slowly floated into the air.

Moreover, because the air in this area on the tabletop is distorted and constantly stretched and changed, the light is also affected.

To outsiders, they appear like floating teapots and teacups, sometimes large, sometimes small, sometimes flat, sometimes round, but never broken.

The scene was bizarre, yet the sense of power contained within that area was chilling.

A dozen seconds later, Chu Tianshu's arms trembled slightly.

The power that Huo Ming had channeled into the wood was instantly cleansed.

The burnt color has been completely removed, and the wood fibers are tightly compressed together. There are no longer any black marks or cracks visible on the tabletop.

However, this rectangular table is slightly shorter in length, but its width has increased somewhat.

Upon closer inspection, the edges of the desktop no longer appear as straight as they originally were.

"Call!"

Huo Ming pulled his hands back, leaned back, and looked utterly astonished. "You really didn't get the Origin Canon?"

"I've been studying your ' True Understanding of Dragon Courage ' for a year now, and I still feel like I can't fathom your depth."

Chu Tianshu supported the object with one palm.

An invisible force caused the teacup and teapot, suspended in mid-air, to slowly descend.

The distorted air gradually thinned, and the airflow escaped through the window, carrying away the dust and restoring calm.

"Although I don't have the Origin Canon, I've practiced some very powerful martial arts."

Chu Tianshu asked curiously, "Is the True Understanding of Dragon Courage ' a martial art contained within Zhao Yun's Origin Canon?"

Huo Ming for a moment and said, "I don't think so."

Classical texts are naturally all profound and subtle, even involving obscure and difficult concepts.

It requires specialized interpretation to understand its mysteries and then apply it in reality.

The Dragon Vein Original Scripture are even more mysterious and unpredictable.

Therefore, every Dragon Vein Original Scripture has a corresponding true interpretation.

This is a model, a method, not based on written words, but specifically designed to adapt to, deconstruct, and harness the power of the Origin Canon.

Without Zhao Yun's Origin Canon and the True Understanding of Dragon Courage, it would be like wishful thinking, utterly useless.

Chu Tianshu nodded after hearing this.

He had just sensed Huo Ming's power and discovered that it was neither Mind Power nor internal energy.

If he had to put it in perspective, among all the powers he had experienced, the intermediate stage of Refining Spirit into Qi and transforming intention into internal force was somewhat similar to the power of the Origin Canon.

But that intermediate stage was only a very brief transition.

Even if Chu Tianshu wanted to stay at that stage, he couldn't.

However, the power of the Origin Canon has remained in that state for a long time.

"The Origin Canon Zhao Yun possessed a strong sense of self-control, striving for leeway in all situations, with effortless control and adaptability, yet that strength was never lacking in confidence."

Chu Tianshu pondered, "But when you made your move just now, you lacked a bit of confidence."

Therefore, no matter how many variations your power displays within the table, or how many times you probe for weaknesses, it's merely skillful manipulation, not true divine adaptability.

strangeness.

Chu Tianshu pondered, "No matter what, Little Huo is a veteran of countless battles."

Even if he was somewhat flattered to receive Zhao Yun's Origin Canon, surely a year has passed and he hasn't found a way to mitigate the negative impact of this mindset?

Seeing Little Huo's expression, Chu Tianshu suddenly realized, "Because you didn't have a gun?"

Zhao Yun was originally a master of spearmanship.

Huo Ming is also a sharpshooter; his demeanor changes drastically whenever he has a gun in hand.

"After all, this is a friendly sparring match. Using the Origin Canon bare-handed is one thing, but to also use a gun seems a bit excessive."

Huo Ming smiled, not surprised that Chu Tianshu could think of this; he had long appreciated Doctor Chu's keen insight.

"Although I haven't yet overcome my lack of confidence when unarmed, now, as long as I have a gun, whether it's a red-tasseled spear or a twenty-shot gun, my confidence is much stronger."

In fact, his lack of confidence when he didn't have a gun was a problem he had long before he obtained the Origin Canon.

After obtaining the Origin Canon, many corrections have been made.

Chu Tianshu laughed and said, "Alright, now that we've verified each other's strength, you can reassess whether the two of us going to Chenjiagou together can get things done."

Huo Ming cracked his knuckles, pondering, "The fighting capabilities of Chenjiagou are no longer a cause for concern."

"However, Chen Xuewen won't be nearby when we make our move."

"If he runs away at the slightest sign of chaos, we still can't be sure we can catch him in time."

The power of the Dragon Vein Original Scripture is not entirely equivalent to the actual combat strength of these figures in history.

Historically, if Sima Yi had faced Zhao Yun alone, he would have had absolutely no chance of winning.

However, Sima Yi's Origin Canon Origin Canon is likely more profound than Zhao Yun's.

However, it might not manifest itself in the same aggressive form as True Understanding of Dragon Courage.

This is still something we must be wary of.

"I originally planned to wait until the Cao Family sent people to Chenjiagou before acting accordingly."

Huo Ming said, "The people of Chenjiagou used to repeatedly want to go to the capital to serve as officials, considering it an honor to receive rewards from those who came from the capital."

"The Cao Family now controls the capital. It would be easy for them to find an excuse to lower their guard if they sent people to enter Chenjiagou."

"That way, the people of Chenjiagou won't feel a strong threat, but their attention will be diverted, allowing me to sneak in from another direction, capture people, and interrogate them about Chen Xuewen's whereabouts."

The entire village of Chenjiagou practices martial arts and is exceptionally vigilant. Even if Huo Ming sneaks in at night to arrest and question people, it would be difficult to guarantee that he wouldn't leak his presence.

Only when the experts' attention is diverted can it be difficult to detect someone's disappearance so quickly.

"Understood. You need to make sure they don't feel too threatened, but still get enough of their attention so that it's easy for you to act."

Chu Tianshu smiled.

"I've made that excuse too."
