Chapter 5 - The New Talent (1/2)
Proofread by Nie Qiao
Obviously, the Footwork of the Flying Dragon can only be involved partially in the first level while the level-two cultivation should cross his mind. At this moment, Yuan Feng’s brain can’t work well.
He opens his eyes and then notices that he is standing with the closing-form posture of the Footwork of the Flying Dragon in the first level instead of sitting straightforwardly on the ground. This makes him understand that all that happened before is true. Unconsciously, he has already practiced the first level of the Footwork of the Flying Dragon, to be more exact, a complete one.
He closes his eyes, and all gist owulif movement skills and the trails of conducting cultivation methods keep emerging in his mind. Once Qi is activated, he straightforwardly darts outward and appears in the area two meters away.
“It’s too …”
Yuan Feng doesn’t know what to say. He has successfully accomplished the first level of the Footwork of the Flying Dragon in a daze. It’s no different from dreaming.
“How come? I have only practiced half of the method. How could I have accomplished all the footwork of the first level, and even have caught a glimpse of some images of the second level?It is too strange!”
At this moment, his exhilaration of having successfully practiced the Footwork of the Flying Dragon begins to fade away because he can’t make out what has happened for the past few minutes.
“Yes, it must be the sky-swallowing martial spirit!”
He recalls his memory and instantly remembers that he once saw the image of the sky-swallowing martial spirit flash and then the radiant figure appeared in his mind, imparting to him the first level of the Footwork of the Flying Dragon in person. In this case, all these things are brought about by the sky-swallowing martial spirit.
“What a good sky-swallowing martial spirit! He can not only swallow singular energy to strengthen himself but assimilate the method fully to practice it, and even automatically fill the deficient martial skills. How fantastic it is!”
Grasping all the details, Yuan Feng feels astonished at the sky-swallowing martial spirit, the singular martial spirit from the former world, which possesses such fantastic power. If this is exposed, many people will definitely be shocked.
“Wow, it is sure to be the abnormal sky-swallowing martial spirit. However, I take a fancy on it. Ha ha ha!”
His astonishment gradually fades, and he can’t restrain himself from laughing. Early on, he felt that the effect of the sky-swallowing martial spirit would not be too simple. Now, it seems that his thought is right, while this time the effect displayed by the sky-swallowing martial spirit is totally fantastic and exceeds his expectation.
But, the fact that he is able to enter this world has been a queer matter indeed. It will be no longer surprising that more eccentric things have occurred.
“With the skill of automatically conducting the martial skills and clearly presenting the trail of Qi’s circulation, from now on, the cultivation of martial skills will be much easier, won’t it?”
He is extremely effusive, and his eyes brighten. He hastens to take out the manuals about Fufeng Swordsmanship and Jingang Fist and sits straightforwardly, beginning to read it. If the sky-swallowing martial spirit is really equipped with the effect to perfectly demonstrate martial skills, the two sets of martial arts can also be displayed. Without any sword in his hands, first of all, he glances through the manual of Jingang Fist. Calming down his mind, he soon walks into the world of Jingang Fist. And he starts to comprehend Jingang Fist re-occurs, and then the sky-swallowing martial spirit occurs again. Then, with the image of the martial spirit crossing his mind, the radiant person who practises martial arts appears in his mind again.
Jingang Fist consists of nine patterns in all. After the radiant person appears in his mind, the nine-pattern Jingang Fist seems to come into life.
Consciously, Yuan Feng starts to run Qi the way the radiant person guides and also begins to practice Jingang Fist together with him.
He has never cultivated martial skills so his movements should have been so awkward. However, the acts of the radiant figure are extremely distinct so that he can totally master the Fist by imitating the movements based on the figure’s acts.
“Hoo, hoo!”
In this narrow martial-skill attic, Yuan Feng entirely immerses himself in the cultivation of Jingang Fist. In the beginning, his movements are a little bit clumsy, but gradually his fist becomes more and more flexible, with the diverse changes of movements in martial arts. At the same time, he discovers the evolution of more and more details, and then he can perform them, with the sounds of wind and thunder transmitted from the martial-skill attic and the persistent sounds of explosion.
“The sixth pattern of Jingang Fist, Shatter Gold and Crack Stone!”
At one moment, Yuan Feng murmurs and then the Qi in his meridians wells up to his fists, and the fist is swiftly pushed out.
“Bang!”
He has no idea about when he approaches the facade of bookshelves. With his fist pushed out, there comes a muffled noise. Then his fists have penetrated the bookshelves, making a hole out of the solid padauk-made bookshelves. “Good, Jingang Fist is sure to be powerful. The power of this fist is almost a kilogram!”.
Retrieving his fist, he can’t yet become composed. Although Jingang fist is a common set of primary-staged martial skills, a warrior only achieving level-three NingYuan Realm can cultivate the first three patterns at most. But he has successfully cultivated the sixth pattern with the help of the radiant figure. The fist of this stage has full power of a kilogram, which is quite uncommon.
The power of martial skills depends on the exertion of the effect of martial skills. Thus, the more perfect the practice of martial skills is, the more powerful strength will be presented. Yuan Feng has conducted the sixth pattern of Jingang Fist and its force is estimated to be much stronger than that of the fifth-pattern performed by those warriors who have only attained level-four or level-five NingYuan Realm. And all of these can be attributed to the power of martial skills.
“It’s a pity that my Qi is not sufficient, otherwise the force of this fist should have been much stronger and it’s highly likely for me to perform the seventh pattern just one time.”
With a light smile, Yuan Feng is quite satisfied with this fist. “Ha, ha, the mastery of martial skills has made a difference. Now, I’m a qualified warrior! The force of my Jingang Fist is not weak.”
Both Qi and martial skills are very important. On the condition that with comparatively equal level of Qi, the person who has a better command of martial skills will be equipped with stronger power. Previously, he once heard that the fifth childe Yuan Ke also attained level-three Ning Yuan Realm, but his strength was no more than 150 kilograms, far less than that of his sixth-pattern Jingang Fist which can reach 500 kilograms.
“The footwork and fist positions have already been practiced and the following one is swordsmanship.”
The cultivation methods of the Footwork of the Flying Dragon and Jingang Fist have been imprinted into his mind and then he devotes himself to Fufeng Swordsmanship.
Not surprisingly, when he begins to comprehend Fufeng Swordsmanship, the sky-swallowing martial spirit also starts working. Fu Feng Swordsmanship consists of twelve patterns, each of which is classified into thirty-six sorts of changes, while all of these can be drummed into his brain as well. As long as with persistent practice, he can indubitably achieve a comparatively higher level. And at this moment, he can ascertain that the sky-swallowing martial spirit is really capable of automatically conducting martial skills, accelerating his grasp of the gist and changes of martial skills.
“Hoo, so incredible, and this time more mysterious and astonishing!”
The three manuals have been stored in his brain and Yuan Feng puts in place all these manuals on the bookshelves. Recollecting a moment, he shakes his head and laughs.
From a level-two warrior equivalent to an ordinary person to a level-three warrior, and now exploring the singular cultivation methods, he seems to have foreseen his brilliant future in near sight.
