Novel Full Chapter 386: Ling Yun’s Terrifying Power!
When Ling Yun had successfully broken through to Physique Tempering Stage Five, Dugu Mo could sense a strong vibration in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth even though he was at a faraway location in the courtyard. In an instant, the winds rose, and clouds began to gather towards Ling Yun’s direction!
It seemed as though Ling Yun had turned into a hub of spiritual energy; the spiritual energy of the entire mansion had churned into a massive vortex and was funneled into his body!
Within five minutes, Ling Yun had fully absorbed the spiritual energy that had accumulated in the mansion over the past seven days!
“How could this be? This… this guy seems to have broken through to the next stage? He was so fatigued just now, and logically speaking, it’d be hard for him to even recover by tonight, but he managed to break through at such a time?”
Dugu Mo sensed that the spiritual energy in his surroundings had vanished and couldn’t help but mutter in shock.
While he was at the patch of Shichiyou herbs, Ling Yun consolidated his cultivation efforts. He felt extremely pleased; after all, the dragon saliva had done a good job in enabling him to break straight through to the middle stage of Physique Tempering Stage Five.
It’s a pity that there was too little spiritual energy in the courtyard, especially since my energy center and meridians have doubled in size, this…
Ling Yun couldn’t help but frown. He had already absorbed every ounce of spiritual energy in the courtyard, and yet it hadn’t even filled 40% of his body’s capacity. This was a huge problem.
However, Ling Yun was absorbing spiritual energy at a terrifying pace now that he had arrived at Physique Tempering Stage Five. How much faster could he have been if he could fully absorb so much spiritual energy in less than five minutes?
Nevertheless, it wasn’t the time to consider this problem presently. It was already 8pm, and the brilliant moon was accompanied by a host of stars in the night sky. The power of the moon and the billions of stars was streaming into Ling Yun’s body!
Dugu Mo was shocked to witness Ling Yun’s body glowing!
The Stellar Condensation Technique!
Ling Yun had mustered his energies and broken through to Physique Tempering Stage Five. If this wasn’t the perfect opportunity to employ the Stellar Condensation Technique, then when would it be?
At this juncture, Ling Yun didn’t scrimp on the dragon saliva. Once again, he retrieved the magical gourd and started gulping its contents. This time, he was unconcerned about the volume consumed, and only stored the gourd in his spatial ring after his stomach had been completely filled.
The spiritual energy of the dragon saliva entered directly into Ling Yun’s energy center. Within it, the pale golden Immortal Spiritual Energy had blended with the golden spiritual energy from the dragon saliva to form a shining, golden, dragon outline that instantly illuminated the entire energy center!
The golden outline of the dragon quivered and looked alive. If Ling Yun’s energy center could be likened to the cosmos, then this dragon outline was akin to a golden bolt of lightning that was swaying haughtily in the vastness of the cosmos!
The moon and stars seemed to be focusing their brilliance solely on Ling Yun!
After receiving the dragon saliva, Ling Yun’s body had absorbed its spiritual energy effortlessly. He concentrated on activating the Stellar Condensation Technique, and he achieved another breakthrough an hour later!
The twelfth minor realm of the Stellar Condensation Technique!
My goodness, how is it that he’s glowing even brighter than before? This fellow could be used as a lamp at night — what sort of technique is this?
Dugu Mo was stupefied and was oblivious to the fact that Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu had already been standing in the courtyard for a long while.
Ling Yun was still unsatisfied and continued absorbing the essence of the moon as well as the power of the starry host. He only ended his cultivation session upon nearly reaching the peak of Stellar Condensation Technique Level Twelve!
Ling Yun slowly opened his eyes. The pupils in his handsome eyes were black and white respectively, and their luminescence vanished instantly! The next moment, everything had returned to normal, and his pupils weren’t any different from an ordinary person’s.
Of course, as Ling Yun was still enveloped in the brilliance of the moon, even Dugu Mo hadn’t been able to detect any anomalies in his eyes. Instead, Dugu Mo was fixated on observing the progression in Ling Yun’s realms.
However, Dugu Mo couldn’t perceive Ling Yun’s realm once he had entered Physique Tempering Stage Four, and it was needless to say now that Ling Yun had already arrived at the middle stage of Physique Tempering Stage Five.
“Receive a blow from me!”
Without moving his shoulders or legs, Ling Yun’s tall frame was propelled tens of meters into the night sky, and he shook his arms like a falcon before flying towards Dugu Mo!
While Ling Yun was flying towards Dugu Mo, both his palms alternated in movement and weaved a complex web in the sky — it was the Vault of Heaven Fist!
As he was worried that Dugu Mo wouldn’t be able to counter the move, Ling Yun had only used 60% of his power in this blow!
What technique is this? Dugu Mo turned pale with fright as he perceived a destructive force!
It seemed as though Ling Yun had created a vortex of True Qi between his palms. However, Dugu Mo knew for certain that it wasn’t True Qi!
It was the Yin-Yang Qi from Physique Tempering Stage Five!
No sooner than he had spoken, Ling Yun’s palm was already delivering a blow from mid-air. His palms were shrouded in a gauzy layer of moonlight and were resplendent!
It was dangerous! Without hesitation, Dugu Mo pushed his power to its limit and stretched out his palms. Arching his foreleg and straightening the back leg, he countered the blow from Ling Yun!
There was a resounding thud as they exchanged blows. It wasn’t the clapping of their palms striking against one another, but the clashing sound of True Qi between their palms!
F*ck! This is bad! Dugu Mo felt a hot and chilling sensation of the terrifying True Qi from each of Ling Yun’s palms!
He felt a scorching heat as well as an ice-forming chill. At the same time, he was unable to withstand the potent force from Ling Yun. Maintaining his stance, Dugu Mo retreated fifteen meters and happened to stop at the poolside!
Ling Yun laughed and balled up his right palm into a fist. A tinge of pure and vigorous Yang Qi surged within him as he flew before Dugu Mo and was about to execute his Tiangang Demon Fist!
“I surrender! I surrender!” At the sight of Ling Yun’s imposing stance, Dugu Mo raised his hands simultaneously in a classic pose of surrender, stopping just short of kneeling before him.
“You really can’t take a blow…” Ling Yun chuckled. As he gently held Dugu Mo’s hands, Ling Yun helped him to dispel the Yin and Yang Qi within his body.
In addition to the middle stage of Physique Tempering Stage Five, Ling Yun had harnessed the power of the Stellar Condensation Technique Level Twelve. Even though he had only used 60% of his energy, Ling Yun had managed to force a partially-inducted Xiantian expert, Dugu Mo, into surrender within two moves. This was an achievement that he could be proud of.
Not to forget, Dugu Mo was also a cultivation genius and a rare talent from the Dugu clan. Despite his partial induction into the Xiantian Realm, he was capable of battling against a first-level expert from the same realm.
Tang Meng stared at the fifteen-meter-long deep tracks that extended from Dugu Mo’s feet and mumbled, “Umm, this is good. It’ll save the effort of digging irrigation channels for the vegetation here…”
Astounded by Ling Yun’s palm movements, Tie Xiaohu was speechless for a long time and gulped his saliva!
This… this immensity of power, when will I reach this stage?
After two whole minutes had passed, Dugu Mo somewhat managed to compose himself and yelled, “Ling Yun, I can’t stand it anymore. You have to tell me which realm you’ve arrived at. You’re such a bully. I’ve been practicing my cultivation for the entire afternoon, and I’m still not able to match up to you, who’s only been cultivating for an hour and a half. Moreover, how could you just commence the fight without warning? I wasn’t even mentally prepared for it!”
Ling Yun secretly gloated when he witnessed Dugu Mo’s soreness in defeat. He laughed. “As for my current realm, if you’d reached Xiantian Realm Level One and entered a bare-fisted fight with me using a sword, and if you’d given an exceptional performance while I floundered, then perhaps we’d be evenly-matched…”
Dugu Mo was startled upon hearing that and muttered, “What? I’ve reached Xiantian Realm Level One, but still have to wield a sword while you fight bare-fisted? And despite that, we’d only be evenly-matched?”
Ling Yun chortled and added, “Umm, on the premise that you performed exceptionally while I floundered…”
Flushed with agitation, Dugu Mo exclaimed, “This is impossible, impossible! If that’s the case, then your power matches that of a level two expert of the Xiantian Realm!”
Ling Yun smiled with a carefree attitude and didn’t rebut Dugu Mo. In another three hours, he would be decimating the Sun Family and was fully-confident of success.
Even if the opponent was a level two expert of the Xiantian Realm, Ling Yun would be equipped to kill him with the Devil’s Underworld Essence Blade!
Without mentioning other factors, even if a Xiantian Realm Level Two expert was protected by the Xiantian True Qi, he might not be able to triumph over Ling Yun.
Dugu Mo let out a series of unearthly cries. “Even so, you shouldn’t have hit me for real. If I’d been injured just now, we’d see how you’d be able to carry out your massacre tonight!”
Ling Yun walked towards Tie Xiaohu and chuckled. “If you had been injured by me, rest assured that I would’ve been able to treat your internal or external injuries instantly…”
“Aiyo…” Dugu Mo was upset to the point that he lost all demeanor of a martial arts expert. Squatting on the ground, he cocked his head and glanced sideways at Ling Yun. It was only then that he remembered Ling Yun was the sole successor of the Immortal Physician Sect.
Eh? This isn’t right… This guy drank the dragon saliva twice consecutively. How could he drink it as though it were cool water? Dugu Mo glanced at Ling Yun, who was enveloped in moonlight. An unprecedented surge of doubt and shock could be seen in his eyes!
Arriving in front of Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu, Ling Yun checked casually. “Have you bought the clothes according to my instructions?”
Tang Meng nodded his head. “We’ve bought them. Each of us will have two sets of clothes, while we’ve bought you seven sets as well as the shoes. Big Brother Yun, you can try putting them on…”
“Oh? So many? Where did you buy them from?” Ling Yun asked in amazement.
Tie Xiaohu explained, “Big Brother Yun, isn’t our Qingshui City a filming location? There’s a tailor shop that specializes in making such clothes. Given the urgency of our assignment, the material quality isn’t that good even though we’ve managed to buy the clothes…”
Ling Yun nodded his head. “That’ll do. We’ll buy our own quality materials next time and send them to the tailor for a custom job. In the meantime, we’ll just wear what you bought!”
After he had finished speaking, Ling Yun turned his gaze towards Tie Xiaohu and laughed. “How’s your progress in memorizing the human anatomy acupoints?”
Tie Xiaohu knew that Ling Yun was planning to impart his skill of attacking vital points to him. He replied excitedly, “I’ve memorized them all!”
Ling Yun randomly pointed at several hidden acupoints on Tie Xiaohu’s body and was pleased when he identified them correctly almost instantly.
“Wait until we’ve settled the pressing issue, then I’ll start teaching you martial arts!” Ling Yun chuckled.
“Thank you, Big Brother Yun!” Tie Xiaohu was overwhelmed by an inexplicable wave of ecstasy.
In two sudden movements, Ling Yun darted into the mansion and arrived in Cui Lao’s guest room.
Cui Lao had already passed the dangers of his berserk state. Without delay, Ling Yun removed the nine golden needles from his body and laughed. “Cui Lao, how do you feel now?”
