King of Creation-Chapter 42 - One Qi Mixed Yuan Skill

The meridians are fundamental for a martial artist.

The meridians of a martial artist are constantly producing infinite Blood Qi, to be commanded by the martial artist, and when driving the True Yuan for attacks, cultivation, or healing, the True Yuan also travels within the meridians.

Before the breakthrough, when Ye Zhen activated True Yuan, the Essence Origin Blood Qi coexisted with the True Yuan in his meridians, greatly increasing the speed and operational costs of the True Yuan’s movement.

One could say that after a martial artist’s Cultivation had broken through to the Fifth Stage of Blood Training, the Essence Origin Blood Qi had become an obstacle for the True Yuan moving through the meridians.

But the moment the True Essence Vortex formed inside the Dantian, the new Blood Qi generated every moment within Ye Zhen’s meridians was transformed into more or less, or barely measurable amounts of True Yuan by the True Essence Vortex the instant it was produced.

In this situation, with the obstruction of the Blood Qi gone, Ye Zhen’s meridians instantly became a smooth grand road.

Ye Zhen slightly swung his fist, with a small flicker of thought, the True Yuan lying dormant within his Dantian instantly burst out, rushing through specific meridians, and instantly condensed a thick layer of True Yuan on the surface of Ye Zhen’s fists.

As the True Yuan passed through the meridians, it roared like thunder, like a torrential stream.

Upon breaking into the True Essence Realm, as the True Yuan circulated through the meridians, both its speed and volume had increased manifold, and naturally, so had its power.

Boom!

Ye Zhen activated True Yuan, with his fists clashing, the collision of two waves of pure cyan-colored True Yuan emitted a sound like thunder, and the explosive aftermath stung Ye Zhen’s cheeks painfully.

“If I were to fight Hong Bao now, using the peak level Snake Bounce Grass combined with the Fist Gang of the Five Mountains Divine Fist, relying on my exceptionally pure True Yuan refined by the Mirage Dragon Pearl, I should be able to defeat Hong Bao within a few punches, right?”

Ye Zhen’s cheeks were filled with supreme confidence, possessing an absolute advantage in True Yuan among equals.

Under the same conditions, the strength of iron versus steel was clear at a glance!

…..

Although he overstepped Instructor Liao’s three-month deadline by one day, Ye Zhen still mustered his courage and went to the Training Institute of Instructor Liao.

Having broken through, using one extra day shouldn’t be a problem, right?

With cautious steps into the Training Institute of Instructor Liao, looking at the Stele that read “If seeking Dao, first forge your courage,” Ye Zhen called out, “Instructor Liao, Ye Zhen has come to pay his respects.”

Swish!

As expected, just like always, a streak of Ice Sword Light suddenly shot out from the Inner Hall, slashing directly towards Ye Zhen’s head, but today, it was accompanied by an angry scold.

“How old do you think I am to warrant the use of ‘old’?”

The chilling energy contained in the Ice Sword Light seemed ready to freeze Ye Zhen’s meridians.

Ye Zhen’s True Yuan inside his body crazily activated to counter this chilling energy.

Ye Zhen’s expression momentarily stiffened, and he instinctively rolled his eyes upward.

The Ice Sword Light should have stopped by now, right?

Playing the same trick every time, isn’t Instructor Liao getting a bit bored…

Whoosh!

Just as Ye Zhen was secretly complaining, the swooshing Ice Sword Light suddenly accelerated and slashed straight towards his head.

“Playing for real?”

Seeing the Ice Sword Light chop down directly overhead, Ye Zhen’s soul almost flew away, and instinctively, his body ducked and bounced, executing the Snake Bounce Grass, suddenly darting nearly thirty meters away.

Bang!

The Ice Sword Light from Liao Feibai ferociously struck the ground, cleaving a long sword mark several meters long into the ground paved with solid blue bricks, horrifying Ye Zhen so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Touching his hand to his forehead, the hair that had just grown back immediately turned into broken hairs, not to mention the forehead was also cut with shallow thin cuts by the Ice Sword Light, immediately causing Ye Zhen’s blood to flow profusely.

Wiping the fresh blood from his forehead, Ye Zhen was still terrified, thinking that had his reaction been even a bit slower, wouldn’t he have been split in two by that Ice Sword Light?

Swish!

Before Ye Zhen could recover, Ice Sword Light from Liao Feibai, like a soul reaper, came attacking towards Ye Zhen again.

In a flurry of motion, Ye Zhen once again dodged the attack with Snake Bounce Grass, but as fast as Ye Zhen dodged, the Ice Sword Light chased even faster.

In no time, Ye Zhen was chopped all over, several times narrowly missing vital spots.

Once, the Ice Sword Light circled around Ye Zhen’s neck for a turn and almost decapitated him.

After narrowly surviving a few brushes with death, Ye Zhen realized that the power contained within the Ice Sword Light seemed limited, and he could barely counter it.

Calm and composed, using the Five Mountains Divine Fist in conjunction with the Snake Wandering Steps, he was actually able to repel the Ice Sword Light from time to time.

Seizing the opportunity, he ducked and bounced up, soaring five or six meters.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Ice Sword Light was gathering strength, he launched a Five Mountains Return towards the charged Ice Sword Light in mid-air.

The True Essence Vortex within his Dantian spun wildly, and a massive amount of True Yuan flowed through Ye Zhen’s Five Mountains Divine Fist, condensing into a pure cyan True Yuan fist, heavily smashing onto the Ice Sword Light.

Pff!

A light sound rang out as Ye Zhen’s pure cyan True Yuan fist and Liao Feibai’s Ice Sword Light dissipated together in the air.

“I can actually counter Instructor Liao’s Ice Sword Light now?” Ye Zhen looked at his fists, filled with both joy and confusion.

This isn’t scientific!

“Get your ass in here!”

Ye Zhen hastened inside, when a white silk scarf flew at his face, startling him as he thought it was some sudden attack.

After a moment of fluster, Ye Zhen caught a hint of a faint exotic fragrance on the white silk scarf.

“Hmph, scaredy-cat!” With a cold snort, Liao Feibai raised her sword-like brows, “Clean that up, I hate seeing your bloodied mess of a face!”

Ye Zhen’s face turned slightly red, and he secretly cursed inwardly, ‘This handsome face of mine only looks like this because of you.

No wonder no Outer Disciple dares to ask for your guidance.

Whoever comes gets slashed wildly with your sword light; they’d all turn mad.’

“Ye Zhen, you managed to shatter my sword light, feeling pretty proud of yourself?”

Hearing Liao Feibai’s question, a hint of pride naturally emerged.

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth, if not a bit spirited, now that would be odd.

“Prideful my ass, I used less than one percent of my strength, and I even struggled to suppress my Cultivation to the True Essence Realm just to test a few moves on you.

You got slashed into this sorry state, almost gutted and decapitated by me multiple times, what’s there to be proud of!”

Ye Zhen was dumbfounded, no wonder!

The slight pride that had surfaced on his face instantly turned into endless embarrassment.

“The three-month deadline has passed, what brings you here?

Don’t tell me you thought my sword light wasn’t sharp enough and wanted to test my blade instead?

How about I use ten percent of my strength to give you a thrill?”

“Not at all, not at all!”

At Liao Feibai’s words, Ye Zhen swiftly backed up, joking aside, her less than one percent strength had already put Ye Zhen in such a dire state, if she used ten percent, he would surely be killed within seconds.

“Instructor Liao, I was just thinking…”

“Alright, no need to explain.

Considering that you made a breakthrough and your True Yuan is still fairly pure, and you managed some responsiveness under my Ice Sword Light, I’ll spare you this time.” Just as Ye Zhen was worrying, Liao Feibai suddenly waved her hand and said.

“Disciple thanks Instructor Liao, what about the Cultivation Technique?” Ye Zhen wasn’t sure if that reward was still on the table, hence the question.

“Look at you, so lackluster!” Liao Feibai scoffed, “I, Liao Feibai, have traveled the world, my word as solid as gold.

It’s not just Human-Level top Cultivation Techniques; even if I promised Earth Rank Cultivation Techniques, I’d snatch one for you.”

“Here, take it!”

In the midst of speaking, a secret manual flew out of Liao Feibai’s hand, which Ye Zhen caught.

The words ‘One Qi Mixed Yuan Skill’ appeared on the cover of the manual in front of Ye Zhen.

“Check it out when you get back.

Inside the manual, there’s a set of cultivation insights I’ve written, you can consider it in conjunction.

Remember, whether it’s the Blood Training Realm or True Essence Realm, it’s all about laying the foundation for the future, never rush.”

Ye Zhen, upon hearing this, felt a flicker of inexplicable emotion.

Although Instructor Liao Feibai was a bit violent, she had been quite good to him.

Without Liao Feibai’s techniques and guidance, Ye Zhen’s present achievements would be impossible.

It can be said that without Liao Feibai, Ye Zhen absolutely couldn’t have defeated Hong Bao in such a short time to secure the second position on the Earth List.

He couldn’t have made a breakthrough to the True Essence Realm in such a short time either.

Ye Zhen was just curious why Liao Feibai favored him so much.

“What’s the matter, are you touched?” Liao Feibai’s long eyes, as if able to see through people’s hearts, immediately vocalized the slight emotional fluctuation in Ye Zhen.

“Don’t hurry, though I let you get through with your life, the death penalty is avoided but the living punishment is hard to forgive.

I have an extremely urgent matter that I need you to run personally.” Liao Feibai said.

“What is it?” Ye Zhen tensed up, knowing that such an urgent matter from a person like Instructor Liao was probably not going to be easy.
