Chapter 25: You Actually Succeeded with My Made-Up Techniques?!
Within Xu Yan's body, his qi and blood flowed and merged as one, signaling the opening of the gates to the martial path. At this moment, he was about to take his first step into this new world.
After a night of diligent cultivation and insight, he finally understood how to unify and harmonize his body.
The three fundamental stages of refining the skin, bones, and organs were challenging, but completing them did not mean he had entered the martial path.
Only by unifying the three and undergoing a complete transformation, with his qi and blood vibrant and unified, could he truly step into the martial threshold.
Only then would he truly enter the realm of martial arts.
"This is the unification and harmonization of the body. I feel like I'm undergoing a metamorphosis, becoming stronger," Xu Yan silently contemplated, feeling his body transform. His qi and blood grew increasingly intense and robust, extending beyond his body by several feet and condensing into a powerful force.
Crack!
At one point, a dull sound resonated within his body, followed by a continuous series of similar sounds.
His tendons and bones trembled, emitting a thunderous roar. With each tremor, his qi and blood surged violently, like a raging torrent, causing his tendons and bones to emit even louder sounds.
"Tendon and Bone Thunderclap! I'm finally about to enter the martial path!" Xu Yan exclaimed in excitement. "I've achieved the Tendon and Bone Thunderclap, and my qi and blood are like a raging storm!"
Xu Yan was thrilled, as after such a long period of arduous cultivation, he had finally reached this momentous milestone.
With each Tendon and Bone Thunderclap, his qi and blood surged, his physical body strengthened, and his control over his power increased.
The qi and blood force became even more intense and fiery.
Boom!
The sky had turned bright, signaling the end of the night.
Thin clouds veiled the sun, casting a dull light over the small mountain village.
Suddenly, the tranquil village was filled with the sound of thunder, rapid and urgent, each clap louder than the last.
...
Li Xuan woke up and, after washing up, heard the thunderous sounds.
Puzzled, he looked up and asked, "Is that thunder? Is it going to rain?"
As he stepped out of the house, his eyes widened in shock, and his mouth hung open.
He rubbed his eyes and looked again, still unable to believe what he was seeing.
Xu Yan stood at the place where he had been cultivating, his body emanating the sounds of Tendon and Bone Thunderclap. The fierce qi and blood surrounded him, and even from a distance, Li Xuan could sense the powerful force contained within.
The source of the thunderous sounds was none other than Xu Yan's body.
Li Xuan stood there, dumbfounded, unable to process what he was witnessing. "But I just made that up! How did you actually succeed in cultivating it? Are you some kind of monster?!"
When Xu Yan had insisted on becoming his disciple, Li Xuan had no choice but to make up cultivation techniques and set a year as the deadline for the disciple's gift.
He had thought that Xu Yan was a stubborn fool who was obsessed with the idea of martial arts and would toil away at these fake techniques.
But now, it seemed the joke was on him.
"Am I the real jester here?" Li Xuan's eyes widened in shock as he realized the implications. Xu Yan had actually succeeded in cultivating the made-up techniques. What kind of monster was this?
Could it be that those who were rejected in marriage were destined to be children of fate? The Tendon and Bone Thunderclap, the unification of qi and blood—these were all things he had fabricated!
And now, Xu Yan's body resonated with the Tendon and Bone Thunderclap, the sound echoing throughout the small village. The fierce qi surrounded him, containing a terrifying power.
"But I'm just a fraud! I made all this up, and you actually succeeded? What do I do now?
Do I keep making things up? What if I'm exposed? Won't I be punched to death then?" Li Xuan's mind raced with worry.
This disciple was too monstrous, to the point that even he felt intimidated.
Just then, a golden light flashed in his mind, and a voice resonated within his head: "Your disciple has successfully entered the martial path by cultivating the technique you created. As a result, you have directly achieved the perfection of the technique, and your strength is a hundred times that of your peers!"
Boom!
In that instant, a surge of qi and blood erupted from Li Xuan's body, resembling flames that soared a hundred meters high.
In Li Xuan's mind, the process of cultivating the Refining Skin, Refining Bones, and Refining Organs techniques appeared, along with the methods he had fabricated. His jade-like bones were flawless and pure, with a spiritual aura flowing around them. His qi and blood resembled a surging tide, vast and infinite like the ocean.
This was the image he had described when he made up the technique—that upon perfection, one's qi and blood would soar a hundred meters high, fiery and intense.
"A golden finger!" Li Xuan exclaimed in delight.
What delighted him even more was that his bones were indeed flawless and pure, just as he had described them when making up the technique—a state of perfection that would last for eternity.
"This Xu Yan is too monstrous! Not only did he succeed in cultivating, but he also refined his bones to such a state!" Li Xuan couldn't help but feel both awe and excitement.
"I've struck gold! This monstrous disciple of mine must be utilized well. My path to invincibility depends on you!"
"Damn! If I'd known he was this monstrous, I would have made up an immortal cultivation technique instead!" Li Xuan suddenly felt a twinge of regret.
If he had known how talented his disciple was, he would have fabricated an immortal cultivation technique instead of a mere martial arts one.
"Thankfully, I left some room for maneuver. This is just the entry to the martial path; I can still continue making things up and exaggerating. The stronger, the better! I'll have to put more thought into the next cultivation realm he'll reach; I can't just make something up on the spot," Li Xuan thought to himself.
"What kind of golden finger is this? Does my disciple's success have something to do with my golden finger?" Li Xuan wondered.
The golden light in his mind had long since disappeared, as if it had never existed.
No matter how Li Xuan called out or searched for it, there was no response.
There was no doubt that Xu Yan was a monstrous talent. How else could he have succeeded in cultivating and refining his bones to such a state?
As for whether Xu Yan's success had something to do with his golden finger, Li Xuan wasn't sure. However, one thing was certain: his own path to continued strength now lay with his monstrous disciple.
Xu Yan had entered the martial path, and Li Xuan had directly achieved perfection in the technique, with strength a hundred times that of his peers.
This hundredfold increase was relative to the strength of someone who had achieved perfection in the technique! Li Xuan was relieved that he hadn't set the bar too low with his made-up technique, and that this was just the entry-level realm. He himself could now be considered to have achieved perfection in this entry-level realm.
After all, the technique he had fabricated only covered the basic stages of Refining Skin, Refining Bones, and Refining Organs, as well as the initial entry into the martial path.
"Calm down, calm down, don't get too excited. I'm a reclusive master, so I can't afford to panic!
My foolish disciple is coming over; I need to keep up the act and let him see my strength.
I'll teach him that the martial path is endless and that he must continue to cultivate arduously...
Don't think about women, focus on understanding the martial path, and keep up the act..." Li Xuan's thoughts raced as he prepared to continue his charade.
...
With the Tendon and Bone Thunderclap and his qi and blood raging like a storm, Xu Yan finally stepped into the martial path.
His face was filled with excitement as he savored the feeling of his newfound strength and the fiery qi and blood force that seemed capable of burning wood and grass.
"This is what martial arts is all about! I, Xu Yan, have finally entered the martial path and can now truly be called my master's disciple!
They all laughed at me and called me a fool, but let's see who has the last laugh now! This is what a true martial artist is capable of!" Xu Yan exclaimed, his excitement and passion for the martial path overflowing.
Suddenly, a terrifying aura rose up, powerful and overwhelming, as if it could destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth.
Xu Yan looked up, his eyes widening in shock. "Master!"
His master's qi and blood surged a hundred meters high, fierce and fiery, like a force that could boil the rivers and seas. Compared to his master's power,
