Chapter 12: From Genius to Trash

  Xuanyuan quickly stripped off the magic tiger skin and lay it flat on a large stone to sunbathe.

  The meat of the demon tiger is extremely strong and healthy. The quality of the meat inside is much better than that of wild boar, and it is also divided into fresh meat and dried meat for separate processing.

  Although Xuan Yuan is very rich now, he can't enter the Moon Desolate City to make purchases. Everything is just an illusion, so he still has to rely on himself and be self-sufficient.

  For Shi Cong Yu and Liu Piao Xue's recruitment of himself, Xuan Yuan did not have any concealment.

  "Are you referring to the Moon Flower Gate? Well, it's good that you're leaving yourself a way out. It seems like you've learned something. Indeed, I only have less than twenty days to teach you anyway." Yín Zhēn Luó's face still wore a faint smile, her white dress as snowy as ever, giving off an inexplicable air of holiness.

  Xuanyuan nodded and said:

  "If Master Mei could teach me for a longer period, I wouldn't care about the Moon Flower Sect."

  After finishing speaking, Xuan Yuan took big strides and left, walked out of the tree house, came to the riverbank and sat down cross-legged, his heart was somewhat unquiet.

  This beautiful master, came in a strange way, but was really good to herself. If it wasn't for her, she would probably be dead by now, let alone join the Moon Flower Gate. It's precisely because of this that Xuan Yuan didn't hide anything from her.

  After sitting for an hour, Xuan Yuan's heart began to calm down. From what he saw, Yue Rong had already reached the realm of a warrior.

  In other words, those who want to compete with the inner disciples of the Moon Flower Gate must be warriors.

  Xuanyuan's mind echoed with Yin Zhenluo's words: "From the moment a fighter steps into the realm of a warrior, they must go through their own physical epiphany to enter. If you can comprehend the mysteries from skin to flesh..."

  Xuanyuan's leading ability was very good, and the pores of his skin were slightly opening and closing, exhaling, washing away the impurities in his body with the vast spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

  However, at this moment, Xuan Yuan suddenly felt that his skin all over his body was trembling, and in an instant, he felt the flesh under his skin stirring vigorously.

  A surge of potential from the muscles under the skin was almost instantly activated, and the days of tempering by swallowing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth also brought many benefits to these muscles. The vast spiritual energy swarmed into Xuan Yuan's subcutaneous muscles, rumbling loudly.

  Xuanyuan felt his skin and muscles merge together in that instant.

  He knew that he had already stepped into the realm of a warrior, stepping into the realm of a warrior, allowing Xuan Yuan to directly step from his original eighteen oxen power to twenty-four oxen power!

  At this moment, even if he was asked to kill a demonic bear with his bare hands, Xuan Yuan would have the confidence.

  Yin Zhenluo felt Xuan Yuan's breakthrough and was also very surprised:

  "Having penetrated the combination of skin and flesh, he had grasped the subtleties within his body. Just as he had stepped into the realm of a warrior, he already possessed the strength of twenty-four oxen, which was twice the power of an ordinary person who had just entered the realm of a warrior. This disciple of mine, I don't know what kind of monstrous physique he has, to be so formidable."

  "Good." Yin Zhenluo walked out of the tree house, holding a soft armor in his hand, and handed it to Xuan Yuan. On this soft armor, there were small characters carved, as well as some fist techniques.

  "This is a special technique for cultivating meat, called the 'Five Claws Heavenly Dragon Fist'. Next time you cultivate, also absorb the heavenly and earthly spiritual energy into your muscles, letting it merge with your own to increase your muscle strength. Remember, after absorbing a certain amount of spiritual energy, close your pores tightly so that the spiritual energy doesn't leak out, this is the only way to achieve the best effect. As for this soft armor, called 'Hundred Refinements Dragon Scale Armor', I'll give it to you too."

  Xuanyuan was over the moon with this "Hundred-Forged Dragon Scale Armor", and after carefully memorizing the contents on the soft armor, he immediately put it on as an undergarment. This "Hundred-Forged Dragon Scale Armor" fit snugly and gave him an extremely comfortable feeling. He believed that its defensive capabilities were far superior to those of dragon scales, and with this armor, his life would be much safer.

  "Alright, now I'll demonstrate it for you, the Five Clawed Heaven Dragon Fist." Yin Zhenluo wore a shoulder-baring cheongsam, her long skirt fluttering like a dark cloud, her raven-black hair swaying, as white as jade, her slender fingers clenched tightly. Suddenly, Yin Zhenluo seemed to transform into a swimming dragon, leaping up and punching out a dragon-shaped wave of air, her black hair exploding upwards, almost every pore on her body closing up in that instant.

  "The power of the ox lies in its ferocity and momentum. The greater the momentum, the stronger the power, capable of crushing everything. However, this is only the most basic level of power. Later on, as you cultivate to a higher realm, there will be the power of the dragon, and at that time, you will understand."

  Like a startled swan, like a swimming dragon, this is the most suitable description of Yín Zhēn Luò at this moment. A set of "Five Clawed Heavenly Dragon Fist" was played out with waves of dragon power, full of overbearing manner, as if the heavenly dragon that descended from the ninth heaven, making people look up to him in awe.

  "A warrior refines their muscles through the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, strengthening their body to lay a solid foundation for future realms. Closing one's pores is to prevent energy from leaking out, conserving one's power to the maximum extent. One burst of energy is based on this principle; if the energy leaks out, the strength will disperse, and the consequences are imaginable." When Yin Zhenluo spoke these words, he had already finished practicing a set of "Five Claw Heavenly Dragon Fist". He withdrew his stance, exhaled like an arrow, and struck the ground, directly plowing out a shallow mark.

  "Heaven and earth spiritual energy cannot be forcibly merged into one's physical body, it must go through the divine method of condensing and refining into internal energy, only then can it be gradually tempered and merged, to strengthen oneself. The subtlety of this process is for you to experience personally."

  Xuanyuan looked very serious, her long skirt fluttering, and her black hair flying as Yin Zhenluo struck out with the "Five Clawed Heavenly Dragon Fist", instantly changing the atmosphere.

  Xuanyuan suddenly felt that he was too far away from Yin Zhenluo, the two people were in different worlds, and it was difficult to reach.

  Watching Yin Zhenluo finish "Five Clawed Dragon Fist", he left with a smile.

  Xuanyuan nodded, not speaking, first sitting cross-legged on the ground, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body. Then he closed his pores and began to practice the "Five Claw Heavenly Dragon Fist". One set of fist techniques came down, and Xuanyuan had already remembered it clearly.

  Xuanyuan was a bit awkward at first, but after several hours, he became more and more proficient. Xuanyuan felt that the heavenly spiritual energy absorbed into his body, when he closed his pores and punched out the "Five Claw Heavenly Dragon Fist", became more and more condensed, more and more refined, transforming into the Dou Qi that Yin Zhenluo spoke of.

  But just as Xuan Yuan was about to merge this surge of energy into his muscles, the power was inexplicably drained away, leaving him with nothing. All his hard work for half a day had been in vain.

  Xuanyuan felt extremely puzzled, and even Yin Zhenluo beside him couldn't help but furrow his brow.

  Seven days have passed in succession.

  Xuanyuan's power, from the original twenty-four cattle strength, increased to thirty cattle strength, this is the benefit of practicing "Five Claw Heavenly Dragon Fist" for these days.

  But for some reason, every time he refined the Heavenly Spirit Energy inside his body into pure Dou Qi, when Xuan Yuan tried to merge it with his muscles, it would inexplicably disappear without a trace. This made Xuan Yuan feel extremely infuriated.

  Seeing Xuan Yuan somewhat disheartened, Yin Zhenluo simply smiled faintly and said:

  "Let's eat first, it might be related to your physical condition, don't lose heart."

  Yin Zhenluo's encouragement was more useful to Xuan Yuan than anything else. Xuan Yuan's confidence increased instantly, and from Yin Zhenluo, he learned that the peak of a normal warrior's power was only nine oxen strength, while he himself had eighteen oxen strength, already surpassing that of a normal warrior. However, when he entered the realm of warriors, it was as if he had just stepped into the realm with twice the power, because his physical body was special and his cultivation was more difficult than usual, which was also normal.

  "Hehe, beautiful Master said it right, I'm not an ordinary person, I'm a once-in-a-thousand genius. This little setback doesn't mean anything to me. At least in the past few days, I've already understood all the moves in 'Five Claw Heavenly Dragon Fist' clearly. Even if I couldn't enter the Dou Shi realm, it's none of beautiful Master's business." Xuan Yuan's face was filled with a smile, making Yin Zhen Luo somewhat surprised, but Yin Zhen Luo quickly let it go.

  "With your current strength, as long as you don't venture too deep into the Monster Forest and don't provoke anyone too strong, living a stable life is already enough." Yīn Zhēn Luò knew that she would be leaving in over ten days. As for Xuàn Yuán's physique, she wasn't clear about it, but she had heard that there was a type of physique where one was very strong during the Dou Zhe and Dou Shi stages, but couldn't break through to the Dou Shī realm. Perhaps Xuàn Yuán had this kind of physique. From originally thinking he was a genius, Xuàn Yuán became a waste among geniuses. The most frightening thing was that he wouldn't be able to progress any further. However, even if it were so, Yīn Zhēn Luò still hoped that Xuàn Yuán could live a stable and happy life. Perhaps Xuàn Yuán wouldn't have any great achievements in the future, but she also hoped that he could live a peaceful life.

  Xuanyuan's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom, he wasn't an idiot after all, and naturally understood that Yinfengluo wanted him to live a peaceful life after she left, not getting involved in too many struggles, hoping for just one lifetime of peace. However, Xuanyuan felt very resentful in his heart, a feeling like falling from high altitude, which wasn't pleasant at all.

  "Alright, beautiful master..."
