Chapter Thirty-Two: Practicing Fist in the Wind

  Wow!

  A sudden gust of wind blew into the cave entrance, and with Li Chen's current cultivation and physical strength, he couldn't help but retreat.

  "What strong wind!"

  His heart was shocked and his competitive spirit was stirred up. Li Chen exerted himself and walked towards the entrance of the cave.

  Going against the wind, it's most exhausting. This strong gust of wind, at dawn with full force, not only didn't budge a single inch, but instead gradually retreated, and was finally pushed to the side of its nest, where it was pressed into the scattered branches before stabilizing its body.

  Under this gust of wind, it took about a minute or so before it gradually dissipated.

  "Brr! I'm freezing to death."

  Li Chen rubbed his icy body, which had lost a lot of strength, and turned around with a start. He saw that the young eagle was still motionless, its breathing steady, and only then did he feel at ease.

  Thud, he sat down on the ground, activated the Rong Yang Jue, slowly gathering his depleted internal energy, and only then did his body gradually regain its senses.

  It wasn't until half a small time period had passed that the inner breath in his dantian was full, and only then did Li Chen get up and walk towards the entrance of the cave.

  What enters one's eyes is a vast expanse of hazy clouds, with the gentle breeze blowing by, and faintly visible below are the lush mountains and fields.

  Even with mental preparation, Li Chen's body still stumbled, and he secretly thought, "It's over, how high is this going to be?"

  Leaning against the cave wall, he slowly sat down, staring blankly outside for a while, after all, he was young and couldn't accept this situation at once.

  "No way, I must find a way out of here, otherwise I'll starve to death!"

  Fortunately, Li Chen's mind was clear and his will was firmer than ever. He soon came to himself, got up with a fierce expression, picked up the two fallen qingjiao from the ground, and turned back to the entrance of the cave.

  Looking at the bottomless cliff, Li Chen took a deep breath and suddenly leaped down.

  Pfft!

  Just as he was about to fall off the cloud layer, Li Chen's eyes moved quickly and his hands were swift. Two sharp horns pierced into the rock several inches, causing his arm to shake violently, but fortunately they had entered the rock several inches, enough to support his body.

  Relying on his powerful arm strength and sharp horns, Li Chen continued to descend, seeing through the clouds, looking at the seemingly bottomless cliff, suddenly making him feel dizzy and almost losing his grip.

  With a surge of energy, Li Chen's eyes lit up and he suddenly changed direction, crawling down diagonally.

  Before long, they came to a bulging rock wall above which stood a not-too-large but extremely sturdy fruit tree with dense foliage.

  Fist-sized, yellow-orange fruits emitting an enticing aroma, with over a hundred of them in sight.

  "Yunli fruit, a mid-term second-order spiritual fruit, has the effect of easy tendon washing and marrow washing. Long-term consumption can expand the meridians, it is a rare spiritual fruit!"

  A flash of memory about the medicinal records seen in the pharmacy flickered through Lí Chén's mind, and a green glow appeared in his eyes, but he immediately became vigilant and scanned his surroundings.

  As he knew it, such a spiritual fruit must be guarded by powerful demon beasts, so it's better to be careful.

  But then, he slapped his forehead, with a Golden Winged Thunder Eagle, at least a fourth-order demon beast around, which other demon beasts would dare to snatch food under their noses?

  At this thought, Li Chen didn't hesitate and jumped onto the giant rock, stretched out his hand to grab a cloud pear fruit and started crunching on it.

  Yunli fruit, as a second-order spiritual fruit, has not only powerful effects but also an enticing aroma that melts in the mouth, making it a rare and delicious treat.

  "Terrible!"

  Li Chen threw down the half-eaten cloud pear fruit without hesitation, and as soon as the pulp entered his mouth, it melted. He wanted to spit it out but it was too late. He sat cross-legged on a huge rock, desperately circulating the "Rong Yang Jue" technique.

  On that day in the Monkey Valley, he had a sip of the Monkey Wine and almost exploded to death, let alone this Cloud Pear Fruit which was even more potent than the Monkey Wine.

  Hehe!

  Gritting his teeth, his face flushed red, the blue veins bulging out, in the early morning hours, a series of ear-piercing howls that didn't sound human came from his mouth, echoing off the cliff and blowing away into the distance.

  Fortunately, he was alert early on and did not directly swallow a cloud pear fruit, resisting the strong temptation of its fragrance.

  As a faint warmth rose from his body, two foot-long blood arrows shot out of his nostrils, and the swelling vital energy slowly dissipated.

  "Ah, I've heard that there's a kind of physical cultivation technique that specializes in refining the flesh. If one has this technique at hand, with so many cloud pear fruits available, their progress will surely be rapid!"

  Slowly opening his eyes, he wiped away the bloodstain from the corner of his mouth. Li Chen looked at Yun Ligua with a pained expression on his face, completely forgetting that he had almost been blown to death by Yun Ligua's yuanqi impact just before.

  He let out a sigh, and Li Chen stood up, suddenly feeling coolness below his waist. He looked down and saw something, proud and arrogant, red and purple, shiny, with green veins all over it.

  The corners of his mouth were awkward, and the clothes on his body had long been torn to shreds. He hadn't felt anything before, but now he was hot all over, and when the mountain wind blew, a tent suddenly popped up between his legs - it would be strange if he didn't feel cool.

  It's fortunate that there's no one around, otherwise with his current rosy and radiant complexion, people would inevitably mistake him for having taken some kind of potent stimulant.

  Wow!

  Suddenly, a strong gust of wind came without warning, just like before. Unprepared, my body was slammed against the rock wall, causing my internal energy to churn violently.

  "What a strange wind!"

  Li Chen gritted his teeth and persisted, struggling to maintain his body, fortunately there was a rock wall behind him, and he wasn't blown over like in the cave.

  What astonished him was that the cloud pear tree in front of him had dense leaves rustling loudly, and the whole trunk swayed back and forth, but no fruit or leaves fell.

  "Huh?"

  Deep in thought, unable to find a solution, Li Chen looked up and saw the cloud layer not far above, suddenly surging and swirling, as if an invisible hand was stirring.

  Suddenly rushing towards here, in an instant it rushes towards another place, surging back and forth in the cloud layer.

  Wind, an intangible substance, yet with a trail to follow, that turbulent cloud is the wind's mystery!

  For some reason, Li Chen suddenly recalled the essence of martial arts in "Fist of Fury", controlling his body, and slowly swinging it with great effort under the impact of the hurricane.

  If there were no rock walls as a backing, Li Chen couldn't even stand steadily, let alone practice boxing.

  But it was in this situation, looking at the changing clouds, moving a little bit, making a gesture, getting tired and sucking some cloud pear juice to replenish energy and then continuing to practice.

  A moment later, the hurricane stopped, and Li Chen was still immersed in practicing "Furious Fist", constantly gesturing with his hands until the strong wind appeared again.

  In this entire morning of three watches, a strange gust of wind appeared three times, each time for one incense stick, extremely punctual.

  Li Chen continued to practice boxing under such circumstances and replenished his physical strength with Yun Li Guo.

  "Ah, I see! Practicing martial arts indeed has the effect of strengthening one's physique. No wonder I felt that the amount of Yuan Qi absorbed by Yun Li Guo increased!"

  After waiting for the whole afternoon, the hurricane did not appear again. Li Chen's eyes were bright and seemed to have made some decision, and he crawled back up to the cave with a determined expression.
