Chapter 24: Breaking Through Once Again

  "Of course, with great enlightenment at the level of Da Pushou, it's definitely possible to achieve this." Seeing Sun Yan's face full of doubt, Feng Lingxue raised her jade hand, "I swear, I absolutely didn't deceive you, otherwise, let my martial arts cultivation stagnate from now on."

  Sun sighed, "Alright, then, Feng classmate, you demonstrate two more times."

  Since Feng Ling Xue said so, what else can he say? Moreover, Sun Yan and Chen Wang have known each other for these few days, and they also understand that the family rules of a thousand-year-old martial arts family are extremely strict. Non-core members of the family will absolutely not be taught the family's unique martial arts. Once it is privately transmitted outside, the consequences would be very severe, to the extent that even the government and military departments would find it inconvenient to intervene.

  Feng Lingxue demonstrated it seven more times with great diligence, then opened her lunchbox and enjoyed her lunch contentedly.

  Beside him, Sun Yan was deep in thought, "The Second Segment of the Collapsing Fist, how exactly does one complete the second burst of energy?"

  In his mind, Sun Yan replayed the movements of Feng Ling Xue, feeling quite strange. The key to [Burst Fist] lies in the explosive power of the square inch, which is to suddenly release the power within an extremely short distance, resulting in a huge killing force. And the key to [Two-Stage Burst Fist] is undoubtedly the second burst of energy, resulting in a terrifying power that far surpasses [Burst Fist].

  How can one simple blow unleash power several times stronger?

  A gleam of insight flashed in his mind, and Sun Yan's face lit up with joy: "Inner Yuan! That's right, relying on the second explosion of Inner Yuan to complete the second burst of energy, it must be so."

  Taking a deep breath, Sun Yan also stretched out his hand and pointed with one finger. The inner yuan in the dantian was mobilized by the heart, and instantly poured into the fingertips. As soon as it touched the ground brick, the inner yuan retracted and bounced back.

  Bang!

  The brick in front of him suddenly burst open, splashing debris everywhere. Feng Ling's mouth curled up slightly as he casually waved his hand, and the gentle breeze swept away the scattered debris to one side.

  "Sun Yan, you're indeed incredibly insightful, figuring out the principle of [Two-Section Burst Fist] in an instant! Not bad at all! This second-grade upper-tier combat skill relies on the secondary explosion of internal yuan to achieve a power that's several times that of [Burst Fist]. If mastered to perfection, its power far surpasses that of [Burst Fist]." Feng Lingxue lavished praise without restraint, but her tone was tinged with a hint of schadenfreude.

  "Exploded?" Sun Yan opened his mouth, "How could it have exploded? It's clearly the second explosion of the inner yuan! Maybe it's not fully ripe."

  He tried again and again for dozens of times until all the bricks around them turned into fragments, then Sun Yan stopped with a gasp.

  "Feng Tongxue, the way of internal yuan explosion is ever-changing and unpredictable, without any combat skills or techniques. How can you possibly master the 'Second Segment Burst Fist'?" Sun Yan was somewhat exasperated, this girl must be playing him.

  It's definitely true that women are the most vengeful creatures. She must be angry with herself for standing me up last night, so she didn't tell me the key to the "Two-Section Collapse Fist".

  Feng Ling Xue smiled and said seriously, "If it were someone else, it would indeed be impossible to grasp. However, if it's you, I can guarantee that there won't be any problems. The way of martial arts doesn't allow for instant success; Sun Yan, you can't look down on the path of martial arts just because your progress was rapid in the past, do you understand?"

  Sun Yan was stunned, and he silently nodded. He had indeed become proud and self-satisfied because of his rapid progress, and from now on, he needed to correct his attitude.

  Looking at Sun Yan closing his eyes, entering a meditative state, Feng Ling Xue raised an eyebrow and revealed a hint of a triumphant smile. She thought to herself: "With great deductive abilities, it's indeed possible to master the 'Second Segment Burst Fist'. However, I only casually mentioned the time it took me to learn this technique. Back then, when I had the combat manual, it took me 4 days to master it. How many days will you take? Hmph! You ditched me last night."

  She picked up the lunchbox, and with a gentle clinking of the chopsticks, she took small bites, her movements elegant and refined, exuding an air of nobility. The hint of a smile at the corner of her eyes made her whole being come alive, like a breathtakingly beautiful landscape that left one's heart and soul enchanted.

  However, Sun Yan did not have the heart to appreciate these things.

  Closed six senses, the mind is a piece of empty clarity, Sun's words naturally enter meditation, and a picture appears in his mind, only to see a jade finger like a scallion tube, swiftly pointing down, the brick splits into the shape of "ten".

  That was the scene where Feng Ling Xue demonstrated the "Second Segment Collapse Fist". The scene replayed in his mind over and over again, and gradually, the speed of that finger became slower and clearer. Sun Yan could even "see" the texture on that finger, fine and smooth, with the skin pulsating to a strange rhythm as the inner yuan circulated.

  "This rhythm!" Sun Yan's heart skipped a beat, "That's right, this rhythm is the way of internal yuan rotation explosion."

  Subconsciously, Sun Yan's mind became even more focused, and the finger in his mind quickly enlarged. He seemed to be able to completely "see" every detail of this finger, from outside to inside, the rhythm of the skin, the stretching of the tendons, the pulsation of the blood vessels, and even the spring-like movement of the internal yuan.

  "This is the rhythm!"

  Suddenly opening his eyes, Sun Yan's expression was calm, he raised one finger, slowly falling down, when it was half a foot away from the ground, it suddenly accelerated.

  A strange sound hummed... from beneath his skin, as if a layer of invisible light was emanating and covering the surface of his arm.

  Cough!

  The ground in front of him cracked and a flat "ten" character appeared, as if carved by a sword.

  "So that's how it is, so that's how the second outbreak of Ne Yuan happened."

  Sun Yan took a deep breath, and suddenly felt the internal yuan in his body surging and circulating ceaselessly. A brand new power spread throughout his four limbs and hundreds of bones, every single pore on his skin seemed to have been reborn, greedily absorbing the fresh air.

  "This is... internal yuan tempering skin pores - skin aperture opens!" Sun Yan was both shocked and delighted, "I broke through to become a second-level martial artist?"

  The inner yuan is tempered from the outside in, reversing the body - skin, flesh, tendons, bones, and veins. This is the cultivation process of a 1-7 level martial artist. When the pores on the skin are fully tempered by the inner yuan, one's hair follicles open and close at will, this is what is called "Muscle and Skin Openings", also a sign of a second-level martial artist.

  Feng Ling's eyes widened in shock as she stared at Sun Yan, how could this guy...how could he possibly master the Second Segment Burst Fist in such a short period of time? And on top of that, he was still cultivating Muscle and Bone Enlightenment, breaking through to the second level of martial artist.

  What's going on? I spent more than 4 days cultivating the Second Segment Burst Fist.

  Turning around, Sun Yan saw Feng Xue staring at him with a strange gaze. He didn't suspect anything and smiled sincerely: "Feng classmate, thank you! Sorry, I was still a bit suspicious of you just now. Haha, now there's no problem at all."

  Rumbling, rumbling, rumbling…… A thunderous growl came from his stomach, Sun Yan's face twisted in agony as he rubbed his belly. From morning till now, he hadn't had a single drop of water, and after practicing the Second Segment Burst Fist earlier, he was so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back, almost fainting from starvation.

  As he turned his gaze, Sun Yan looked at the lunchbox beside the girl, and a thread of fragrance wafted over, almost luring his soul away.

  Noticing Sun's hungry ghost-like expression, Feng Ling Snow frowned and said: "This is what I left over, you wouldn't be thinking of..."

  No sooner had the words fallen than the lunchbox was in Sun Yan's hands, and he poured it into his mouth as if he had been starving for three days and nights. However, this wasn't strange for Sun Yan, having just advanced to a second-level warrior, indeed needed to supplement sufficient nutrition.

  Feng Ling's eyes widened in shock, and she scolded in a soft voice: "Hey! Sun Yan, how dare you... You can't eat that anymore, spit it out quickly. You're such a rude guy!" That was something she had eaten before, how could this boy do that.

  In 5 seconds, the lunchbox was empty. Sun Yan let out a satisfied sigh, rubbed his belly and savored the aftertaste: "It's really delicious! I finally feel relieved."

  She raised her head, saw Feng Xue's beautiful eyes staring at her fiercely, and Sun Yan looked at the empty lunchbox in her hand before finally reacting. A smile that looked like she was about to cry appeared on her face: "Feng classmate, actually..."

  Bang... The door on the rooftop was suddenly kicked open, and two figures rushed up, who were none other than Mu Tong and Shui Lian Qing.

  "Ayin, Ayin! Are you alright......"

  "Xun Yan, fellow student! You..."

  Two people rushed out from the door, saw Sun Yan's back, first with a joyful surprise, then a shock, and immediately widened their eyes, the unfinished words got stuck in their throat, unable to utter another word.

  Beside Sun, the black-haired girl with starry eyes was incomparable. The three A's (1-1) on her school uniform sleeve made the two of them dizzy for a moment.

  Mu's stiff neck turned, and he saw the exquisite lunchbox in Sun Yan's hand. He was instantly petrified. This lucky pig! He will definitely go to hell after death.

  Her hands were clasped tightly behind her back, fingers intertwined, pale and bloodless...
