Chapter 138: Martial Arts Practice at the

After returning from the teaching building, Tang Shan had nothing to do, so he simply sat cross-legged in Cultivate.

After completing his Resonance Method training for the day, a thought arose in his mind: With his current Qi blood strength and the will he had already comprehended and which had gradually strengthened in battle, could he try Dan Embracing?

You should know that Dao is the Douluo Continent, which possesses extraordinary Soul Power. The potential of their bodies is far greater than that of ordinary people in their previous lives. With such a foundation, the success rate of Dan Embracing should be quite high.

Once the thought arose, it could no longer be contained, and Tang Shan became excited. After some time, he let his Divine Thought run wild until his mind returned to calm before deciding to carry out the experiment he had just made.

As it turns out, Tang Shan’s guess was not far off; with his current high blood volume, he was indeed capable of forcibly performing Dan Embracing.

However, the bone marrow was not yet fully refined, and Tang Shan was unsure what would happen if he forced it.

In order to ensure a stable practice and breakthrough, Tang Shan temporarily suppressed the breakthrough. Dan Embracing, further developing human potential, and incidentally achieving Martial Soul The deadly allure of Second Awakening.

After confirming that she was unharmed, Tang Shan did not leave the secret room, but instead began today’s Soul Power session. Cultivate.

Transparent Soul Power settled in Dantian, and under the sway of will, it surged into Meridians, circulating within their bodies. Sisi’s wisps of Origin Qi were drawn in and refined within the circulating Soul Power.

With his cultivation steadily improving, Tang Shan entered a meditative state in the blink of an eye.

It takes about three months to upgrade Soul Power by one level.

The door to the secret room was pushed open, and the warm sunlight shone in through the window, making Tang Shan, who had been sitting cross-legged all night, feel warm all over.

Walking to the window, a vast and boundless lake came into view. The morning mist shrouded the lake like a veil, and the white vapor drifted slowly with the breeze, blurring the distant shoreline into a hazy silhouette.

The rising sun pierced through the thin mist, casting a golden glow that refracted into tiny spots of light on the clear lake surface, swaying gently with the ripples.

The Blue Silver Grass by the lake, glistening with morning dew, reflected the sky and the lake’s hue. The grass, a fresh green, blended with the distant white mist and golden light, creating a scene reminiscent of a flowing ink painting, adding a touch of ethereal beauty to the landscape.

Looking at this stunning scenery, Tang Shan felt a slight tremor in his heart. The wonders of nature always leave people in awe.

After a quick wash, seeing that it was still early, he looked at the lake and some ideas came to mind.

The Royal Academy’s dormitory building was adjacent to the great lake, and Tang Shan’s residence was on the first floor. He didn’t know why such a superb viewpoint was unclaimed, but since others didn’t want it, he naturally wouldn’t be polite.

Taking off her shoes and instead of putting on her fancy school uniform, Tang Shan changed into a simple white shirt and black pants outfit, rolled up her trouser legs, and barefoot, climbed out of the window.

They are all Soul Masters, even the support system. Under the long-term nourishment of Soul Power, their physical qualities far exceed those of ordinary people. Therefore, Heaven Dou Imperial Academy naturally has no rule against climbing through windows.

Tang Shan climbed out of the window and stepped onto the grass. The soft Blue Silver Grass underfoot didn’t hurt her feet; instead, it gave her a gentle feeling.

Taking small steps, he approached the lake step by step, curiously looking around.

The morning air carried a slight chill, mixed with the fragrance of grass and trees and the moist breath of the lake; inhaling it made one feel refreshed and invigorated.

The surroundings remained quiet, and apart from the occasional bird call, almost no one was awake at this time.

A strange emotion welled up inside him, and he quietly went to the lakeside and plunged his legs into the water without hesitation.

The lake water was icy cold, washing over my ankles, and instantly invigorated me.

Without hesitation, Tang Shan continued to venture deeper into the lake. The water level rose little by little, and before he knew it, it was above his knees. If he went any further, he would surely get his pants wet.

“The water level is just right. Let me see what it means to walk on water.”

A hint of anticipation appeared on his face. His internal energy circulated precisely, spreading to the soles of his feet. His toes subconsciously curled and stretched slightly, sensing the subtle fluctuations in the water.

The lake water was not still, but gently rippling with the cool morning mist, with every ripple flowing around your feet.

The left leg slowly emerged from the water, leaving a trail of glistening water droplets. The foot turned slightly inward, and with restrained strength, Dao stepped down again.

The neutralizing force spreads instantly under the feet, adjusting smoothly with the force of the water flow, neither resisting the water waves nor losing balance.

The moment my left foot landed, the flowing lake water seemed to be temporarily held up by an invisible force, and a warm, supporting sensation came from the sole of my foot, just like stepping on solid ground, steadily supporting my entire body:

As he stepped forward with his right leg, the instant his foot left the underwater land, his internal energy exploded again with precision, creating a faint ripple on the water’s surface. Despite having no substantial support, he landed steadily as if walking on flat ground.

At this moment, the lake water was just two-thirds of the way up Tang Shan’s calves. The water around him seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, flowing gently along the trajectory of his internal energy transformation.

This novel experience was very interesting, further fueling Tang Shan’s interest: “Let me see my limits, whether I can walk on water simply by using my strength. “

As he took another step, his gaze became even more focused, and the circulation of his internal energy reached its pinnacle.

Every step he took, from the release and release of energy to the perfect fit between his feet and the water, and the subtle adjustments to his center of gravity, was executed flawlessly. As he moved forward, more and more of his body emerged from the water, and the depth of his calves submerged gradually decreased. Only the faint ripples created by the flow of energy traced his path through the water in the morning light, a leisurely and composed walk.

Dugu Yan wandered alone through Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, looking at the various scenery around him without any emotional fluctuation.

She wouldn’t say she was very familiar with this place, but she had visited it quite a few times when her grandfather came over. At first, she was amazed and curious about the scenery, but after seeing it so many times, it became rather dull.

Dugu Yan had no complaints about her grandfather, Dugu Bo; she knew very well how good he had been to her. From childhood to adulthood, he had always tried his best to get her anything she wanted.

She’d come to terms with the Dugu Family poisoning. If she had to blame someone, she’d probably have to blame the one who initially discovered the Dugu Family. Greenphosphor Serpent The ancestor of the Martial Soul attribute complained about why the other party used this Martial Soul attribute.

Grandpa simply reached a turning point, a sign of the Dugu Family’s toxins erupting. Even if it weren’t Dugu Bo’s eruption, given the Dugu Family’s practice of accumulating toxins to enhance their Innate Soul Power… Such an awakening- level approach will inevitably lead to a toxic effect in her generation.

Dugu Yan felt somewhat relieved, at least she didn’t have to experience the pain her grandfather went through, watching his child gradually die.

Even more fortunately, by poisoning only one generation of Family members, a solution was seemingly found, which was a huge opportunity for the Dugu Family.

Thinking of his deceased parents, Dugu Yan’s eyes dimmed even more.

She had already registered at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, and came here this morning to take a stroll, clear her head, and see her surroundings.

The place where I will live and study for the next few years.

Dugu Yan won’t officially enroll until she reaches Breakthrough level 20. After wandering around today, she’ll return to Cultivate until she encounters Bottleneck, then go out to hunt Soul Beasts and absorb their Soul Rings (non-toxic ones ) to see if she can resolve her Family issue. The problem of poisoning in Martial Soul.

” Tang Shan ————” Dugu Yan murmured the name, feeling a pang of melancholy.

The fact that a boy of similar age could solve a problem that her grandfather had been unable to solve for decades gave Dugu Yan an unparalleled shock. Moreover, in a sense, Tang Shan could be considered her savior, which made her feelings towards Tang Shan somewhat complicated.

Of course, there was no romantic relationship involved—it was only their first meeting, and Tang Shan’s appearance could only be described as rugged at the moment.

Even if his Martial Soul has begun to be finely optimized and eventually reaches the limits of human appearance theory, it will be a very long process.

Dugu Yan was simply curious about Tang Shan, in awe of his talent, and grateful for his life-saving grace.

Thoughts swirled in her mind, and before she knew it, she had arrived at the edge of a large lake.

She knew this lake; it was one of the few natural landscapes at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, and a good cultivation environment for the many water-attribute Soul Masters. However, given the personalities of most students, getting up early for cultivation was impossible. Being able to complete a full cultivation class in the school’s specially established curriculum was considered quite diligent for the students of this academy.

“There really is someone.”

Dugu Yan glanced around casually, about to turn around, but stopped halfway through.

“Huh? Why would someone be here so early in the morning? That doesn’t make sense.”

She turned her head again and saw a young man walking slowly across the lake. With Dugu Yan’s keen eyesight, she quickly noticed the unusual way he was walking; his feet didn’t touch the water’s surface, he was walking on air.

“Is this an application of Soul Power? That’s quite interesting.”

The lake water was clear, and Dugu Yan could see whether Tang Shan had stepped on the ground, but the distance was still quite far, and the morning mist was still slowly rising, so she could not see Tang Shan’s true appearance.

Intrigued by this person, Dugu Yan stopped walking and instead opened her beautiful purple eyes wide, wanting to see what the man would do next.

Tang Shan was naturally unaware that Dao was secretly observing him with a pair of beautiful eyes. Even if he knew Dao, he wouldn’t take it to heart.

I do what I want; what does it have to do with others?

After a period of testing, Tang Shan finally figured out the limits of his ability to walk on water: currently, with his precise control over his strength, he can only submerge the bottom third of his calves in water to walk, and he cannot go any higher.

Tang Shan estimates that reducing the submerged portion further won’t be easy. Some things become increasingly difficult as you progress, and each subsequent increase in difficulty might equal the sum of all previous increases.

Now they walk on water, but I wonder when Dao will be able to walk on water, using only his strength to make his body float on the water.

The thought flashed through his mind. He looked around at the clear lake water, and the Qi blood in his body rippled with the rise and fall of the lake.

“Why not have a martial arts demonstration on the lake!”

The moment this thought arose, Tang Shan immediately put it into action. He did not activate the Soul Ring, but simply mobilized the Qi blood and Soul Power within his body, which surged through his limbs and bones like a rushing stream, ultimately being added to his fists and feet.

He practiced Tai Chi that he had recalled by tapping into his brain’s potential, but only a few fragmented moves. Later, he disassembled and reassembled it, drawing on the speed of Soul Beast combat and the instincts of human life, completely transforming this defensive style of boxing into a new style that unleashes one’s full power.

If it weren’t for the later, coincidental development of the Resonance Method, this martial art, which embodies his hard work, would probably be one of the core elements of Tang Shan’s daily cultivation today.

The boxing style is called “Wuji”. Although its core is inherited from Tai Chi’s Yin and Yang Dao, its concept and power are vastly different.

Tai Chi emphasizes using softness to overcome hardness and using minimal force to deflect great force, while Tang Shan’s Wuji pursues using force to control force and using immense force to counter great force.

Dark power is the layered explosion of strength, as continuous as a lake. A single punch can generate multiple layers of follow-up force, progressing layer by layer. Yang power is the direct release of strength, as fierce and domineering as thunder. The force of the punch can stir up the air and create a roar.

His feet were firmly planted on the water’s surface, his body as slender as a willow, yet exuding a mountain-like steadiness. His hands moved in circles, pushing the water and creating ripples.

With alternating leg movements, like a knife or axe, each landing caused a slight tremor in the water, as the Qi blood resonated with the lake water, creating fine ripples.

The invisible void was stirred by fists and feet, producing a whooshing sound. With the dual blessing of Qi Blood and Soul Power, the seemingly slow movements actually contained immense power.

The thin mist was stirred by the force of his punches, swirling and circling around him, complementing his movements and adding to his ethereal and otherworldly aura.
