Chapter 26: The Epiphany (2/2)
Unfortunately, Nie Hong wasn’t here. Otherwise, he would be able to throw him a punch and see if the rage could provide extra strength.
“Yee?!” Just as his thoughts were beginning to wander, his mentality changed again, and he was no longer full of wild rage.
The spiritual power that had previously converged into his raised arm rapidly flowed back to his spiritual sea. Before long, there was no spiritual power left in his arm at all.
He immediately understood why: his mind had drifted, so he had failed to maintain his mentality of rage and frenzy.
When the rage disappeared and he became calm again, the miraculous sensation on his fist, that was pointing to the sky, also vanished. As the spiritual power returned to his dantian, everything went back to normal.
“Mentality! Mentality is the key!”
After the epiphany, he refocused his mind and laid his eyes on the mountain-like giant arm in the distance.
He put his heart into analyzing the giant hand that was balled up in a fist, and he felt all the monstrous rage hidden in it. As he gradually submerged himself in it, he once again found himself influenced by the emotion and his heart grew more and more angry.
When his heart was full of rage, he imitated the gesture of the giant arm and thrust his clenched fist into the sky.
Strands of spiritual power once again surged out of his spiritual sea as he extended his arm. Those strands were instantly injected into the meridians within his arm, and roared their way into his fist.
HISSS!
As expected, the light, white spiritual aura, full of rage, reappeared on his fist.
“This is it!” A sense of joy rose in his heart. In the meantime, the rage that he had tried so hard to build up, suddenly vanished.
In a flash, the amazing power he had just recovered left him again.
However, through this attempt, he had found the secret to the trick, and then he practiced it over and over again.
In his later practices, whenever he was able to maintain a raging heart, the special feeling of his fist being filled with rage would always be there.
Meanwhile, he also found that he could only cultivate the rage in his heart when gazing at the distant giant arm.
When he didn’t look at the giant arm and tried to make the punch by channeling his own rage, that mysterious sensation wouldn’t appear.
It seemed that he had to fully understand the begrudging rage contained in the giant hand, so as to truly grasp the essence of that punch.
After realizing this, he calmed himself and stopped wasting his energy, and instead, once again fixed his eyes on the giant arm, trying to truly feel the mental status of its owner when they threw that punch.
He was completely submerged in his thoughts and lost track of time; he forgot about the environment he was in and even forgot himself.
When he forgot about his physical form, he entered a trance in which he had the sudden feeling that he was the owner of the giant arm, that he feared no rules or restrictions, and that he dared to fight the heaven and earth.
PTSSS! PTSSS!
After an unknown period of time, the animal bone by his feet suddenly spewed tiny flames.
It seemed the drop of blood in the animal bone had been consuming its flame power. Now, after it had consumed a certain amount, the animal bone began to change.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
One after another, clusters of flame shot out of the animal bone, dragging Nie Tian out of his thoughts.
At first glance, Nie Tian found that the drop of blood in the animal bone had shrunk considerably, compared to when it was fully formed.
He instantly realized, without knowing it, that he had consumed a considerable amount of the flame energy.
Even as he was in a state of bewilderment, the animal bone continued to change and once again transformed into a bright vortex of flame.
Seeing the formation of the flame vortex, he suddenly understood the flame power left in the animal bone was now only enough to open the portal to home.
Otherwise, as the flame energy continued to run out, there wouldn’t be enough power left in the animal bone to form the flame vortex and send him back.
Looking at those mountain-like giant arms, he was extremely reluctant to leave, as he had just discovered part of the secrets contained in them. “I have no choice but to leave for now?”
However, the animal bone didn’t give him any time to think before he was swallowed by the bright vortex of flame.
