"Ah-dai, stop it!" Owen shouted in a loud voice, fearing that if he continued like this, the compressed true energy would explode and shatter his hand.

  However, Ah-Dai could no longer stop himself. His true energy, after being compressed, was no longer the gentle energy that flowed through his body. Ah-Dais eyes widened and he shouted loudly: "Ah——!" His right fist suddenly swung towards the reef rock in front of him, and a white light column with a diameter of only about five centimeters shot out from his fist. After the light column was released, Ah-Dais entire body went limp, and he instantly collapsed to the ground.

  "Boom, boom——" Two consecutive loud noises made Owens mouth wide open. Even if Ah-Dai could shatter the boulder in front of him with one punch, he wouldnt be so shocked. But the strange phenomenon in front of him made it hard for him to believe. The not-so-large boulder in the center was pierced by Ah-Dais powerful internal energy, and the energy went through the boulder, heavily striking the sea surface, splashing a 10-meter-high column of water. There wasnt even a crack around the pierced area of the boulder, showing how concentrated the power was.

  Owen stood there stupidly, taking a long time to react. Ah-Dais previous blow had already reached the level of his five successful powers, which means that Ah-Dais previous vital energy had reached 200% of his own level. Ah! Ah-Dai, Owen took a step forward, hugged Ah-Dai in his arms, stretched out his right hand and pressed it on Ah-Dais dantian to explore the situation inside his body. Ah-Dais dantian was empty, not even a thread of vital energy was left, his whole body was soft and weak, this was clearly a sign of exhaustion. Owen smiled bitterly: "It really is an all-out blow! This kid, ah——"

  He picked up Ah-Dai, and Owen continuously transmitted the purest Qi into his body. After a while, Ah-Dai slowly came to, earlier when he was delivering the worlds most powerful blow, he felt as if his body had been emptied out, that compressed pure Qi with explosive properties took away all of his strength.

  "Uncle, was my finishing move successful?"

  Owen smiled wryly and nodded, saying: "Youre really too reckless. If you use this move when facing an enemy, Im afraid itll take at least a week to recover from it. Two hundred percent, what terrifying power! Ah-Dai, how did you manage to compress the vital energy without making it explode?"

  Ah-Dai said: "I dont know either, yesterday I thought that what you said was to concentrate the power into a smaller point, so I tried my best to compress the True Qi into its smallest state and release it in the form of Dou Qi. Then I didnt know anything else. Can True Qi also explode?"

  Ouwendao said, "Of course, when the true energy is too dense, it will rebound and release a strong energy. In the past, there have been masters who died from exploding their bodies due to over-compressing the true energy inside. Perhaps it was the spiritual power of your previous lifes fruit and these few years of meditation that saved you. From now on, unless absolutely necessary, never do this again, its too dangerous."

  "Uncle, I feel so empty and uncomfortable inside! Didnt you say that the true energy is endless? How come I used it up and now its all gone?"

  Owen said in a bad tone, "Even if youre recovering steadily, you need to have a source of power. Youve used up all the power from your source, how are you going to recover? Lets go back first, Ill help you recover your strength and then we can talk."

  Even with Owens help, using the same origin of life energy to help Ah-Dai cultivate, it took a full two days for Ah-Dai to fully recover to his previous state. In these two days, Owen also taught Ah-Dai many methods of circulating and exercising internal energy, as well as how to bring out the greatest effect of the Life-Extinguishing Fist while expending the least amount of physical strength.

  "Your strength has recovered, go back to the wooden stake today, remember what I taught you, seven parts release and three parts reserve, but never use the Overturning City Strike again. The huge consumption is not beneficial for your future cultivation."

  Ah-Dai was also left with a lingering fear, and it took him two whole days to recover his internal energy.

  This is how Ah-Dai began his training to split the waves and chop the surf. Since he had found the right method, the impact of the waves was no longer a great threat to him. With constant practice every day, Ah-Dai made rapid progress. Three months later, he could already withstand the impact of the waves for an entire day without being knocked off his feet. His daily battles with the waves also made Ah-Dais body stronger and more robust. His pale skin turned into a healthy bronze color under the impact of the seawater and the scorching sun. Occasionally, a sharp glint would flash in his dull eyes.

  Owen stood on the reef, looking at Ah-Dai with satisfaction as he punched through the waves one by one, nodding his head in approval and muttering to himself: "Hes really making progress! Although the power of the reincarnation fruit is extraordinary, this kid has indeed worked hard." The hardship of fighting against the waves was unimaginable to ordinary people. Ah-Dai no longer had time to learn other knowledge every day, it was just fighting against the waves, meditation, and sitting in stillness, but he never complained once.

  At noon, Owen took Ah-Dai down from the stake, and after lunch, Ah-Dai was about to return to the stake, but was stopped by Owen. "Were going to start our next lesson, your innate energy is already being used quite well." Owen grasped Ah-Dais long hands and said, "Your hand shape is even better than Uncles. Do you know? Uncles kung fu is mostly in his sword, from today on, you need to go experience the characteristics of the sword, in this aspect, I dont have anything to teach you, everything relies on you to experience it yourself. Only by becoming true friends with the sword can its power as the king of a hundred soldiers be unleashed." He took out that huge broadsword from behind the reef, which had grown rusty from years of disuse.

  "Old buddy, Ive neglected you." Owens eyes were hazy as he stared at the broadsword in his hand, a sword that had accompanied him for thirty years! He held the sword with one hand and flashed out white true energy with the other, wiping it onto the blade. The rust on the blade instantly disappeared, revealing a gleaming blade.

  "Ah, stupid, this broadsword has been with me for thirty years. From today on, it will be your companion. The sword is five feet six inches long, the handle is one foot two inches, the blade is four feet four inches, the widest part of the blade is half a foot, and the thickest part is three inches. It weighs seventy-six kilograms. The name of the sword is Tian Gang."

  "Seventy-six kilograms? Uncle, you must be joking." Even the iron hammer of the towns blacksmith only weighed twenty kilograms.

  Eugene held the sword aloft, and with just a quiver of his fingers, the blade shimmered with a faint glow. The seventy-six kilogram heavy sword seemed as light as a feather in his hand. Eugene placed the sword across his chest, stroking its length, and sighed: "Is it heavy? Perhaps youll think so at first, but when your heart becomes one with it, youll no longer feel its weight."

  Ah-Dai looked at the Tian-Gang sword, which was even taller than himself, and couldnt help but feel excited. He took a few steps forward and asked Owen, "Uncle, can I try it out?"

  Owen handed the hilt over with the sword tip pointing down. Ah-Dai reached out to grab the hilt, and as soon as Owen let go, Ah-Dai felt a sudden weight in his hand. Despite being prepared beforehand, he still couldnt hold it steady, and with a clang, the sword tip hit the ground. Owen laughed and scolded, "You clumsy little kid, was your True Qi training all for nothing? Use your Qi to control the sword!"

  Ah-Dai spat out his tongue, took a deep breath, and urged the true energy in his body to move. His whole body emitted white light, and with a burst of strength, he suddenly lifted the Tianxia Sword. Under the effect of the true energy, the sword indeed felt much lighter, but it was extremely difficult to wield. If he hadnt practiced the application of true energy for many days, he might not have been able to swing the sword at all.

  Owen said in a low voice, "Sink your energy into your dantian, keep your feet stable, and circulate the true energy to your waist. Use your waist to support your back, use your back to support your shoulders, use your shoulders to support your arms, use your arms to support your elbows, use your elbows to support your wrists, use your wrists to support your hands, and use your hands to support your fingers. This is the foundation of using a sword. The Tianxia Sword Technique originally had 36 forms, but the moves are too complicated, and you might find it hard to remember. Ill simplify it into nine moves for you. Watch closely, the first move is Long Rainbow Pierces the Sun."

  A fool in front of a flower, a light hand, the Tianxia sword has already arrived in Owens hand. Owens body flashed in the air and rushed out with his sword combined. The white mane on the Tianxia sword was full of momentum, falling to the ground, Owen said: "Have you seen it clearly? It looks like a simple move, but it requires your hands, eyes, and heart to work together. Okay, you dont need to practice swordsmanship yet, today lets start with the most basic chopping, picking, and stabbing three postures." As he spoke, he explained the key points of the three postures, then handed the Tianxia sword to Ah-Dai and floated away.

  "I split, I split." When the sun sets, Ah-Dai has already practiced until his whole body aches, although its just three simple postures, he cant seem to get the feel for it.

  "Hows your training going?" Owens figure suddenly appeared on top of the reef. He was holding a branch in his hand.

  Ah-Dai scratched his head and said: "I also cant say it well, but I feel that its a bit different from what you demonstrated."

  Owen glanced at the sword marks on the reef, shook his head and said: "A slash must have a slashing momentum. Although the strength can only be released seven out of ten, three points must be reserved to change moves, but in terms of momentum, it must overwhelm the opponent." He grasped the branch with both hands and raised it high, the surrounding sea breeze seemed to stop blowing towards Ah-Dai, an unusually strong pressure forced him to retreat a few steps, staring at Owens branch in surprise.

  The pressure suddenly disappeared, leaving Ah-Dai with a feeling of leaning forward. Owen said: "Take a good look, now you use your sword to slash me, as long as you can make my feet leave the ground, its considered a success."

  ADai nodded, imitating Owens gesture, and with both hands raised the Tian Ge sword high, saying "Uncle be careful", as he infused his energy into the blade and slashed down. Although it didnt have Owens flair, the Tian Ge sword still emitted a faint glow.

  Owens face revealed a hint of a smile, just as the Tian Ge sword was about to split his skull. A branch gently lifted, and in an instant, it deflected the sword to one side. Ah-Dai felt the sword in his hand suddenly sink, and with a loud "dang", it struck the ground beside him, half of the blade sinking into the earth.

  Owen said, "The aura must be stored and not released, or suddenly burst out. If you hadnt completely dispersed the aura just now, I wouldnt have been able to easily unload it. Come on." Like this, the old and young continued to practice on the reef rocks, with the true energy supporting Ah-Dais swinging of the heavy sword until deep into the night. He finally managed to force Owen to engage in a fierce battle with him, although he didnt manage to push Owen back, Owen was already very satisfied. In order to let Ah-Dai better grasp the essentials of the sword and understand the decisive factors of the swords intent, starting from the second day, Ah-Dai was still tied to the wooden stake, but this time using the Tian-Gang sword to slash through the waves. Time flew by quickly, and Ah-Dai and Owen had already been in Shi-Tang town for six years.

  On the reef, the light was flashing continuously, that was Ah-Dai practicing Tian-Gang swordsmanship again. The 36-style Tian-Gang swordsmanship on the mainland is one of the most popular swordsmanship, although its power is not very great, but it has a grand and majestic momentum, making it most suitable for use on the battlefield. Although Owen simplified this set of swordsmanship, the momentum did not weaken, and after long-term practice, Ah-Dai can now skillfully mobilize his innate energy to control the Tian-Gang sword. Thanks to the good foundation of innate energy laid down in the previous few years, Ah-Dai learned other things much faster. In the past three years, Owen has taught Ah-Dai all he knows, although Ah-Dai is slow-witted, but his hard work made up for it, and his innate energy has almost entered the fifth realm. His footwork and swordsmanship have made significant progress, and in Owens case with a tree branch, he can support dozens of moves without defeat.

  Owen stood by, watching Ah-Dai dance with his sword, a satisfied smile spreading across his face. In a little while, when Ah-Dais Shengshen Jue broke through to the fifth layer, he could pass on his secret skills to him. At eighteen years old, Ah-Dai had already grown to be almost as tall as Owen, with broad shoulders and a wide back; apart from still having a childish face, in every way, he looked like an adult.

  "Alright, Ah-Dai, come back!" Owen shouted loudly.

  ADai floated down beside Owen with Tianxie sword in hand, "Uncle, learning something new again?"

  Owen smiled and shook his head, saying: "Youve basically learned all the basics over the past few years, Uncle is very satisfied. After a while, when your cultivation reaches the fifth realm, Uncle will teach you the famous Ming Wang sword technique that shakes the continent. Thats Uncles true skill! Lets go, early this morning, your uncle Shi Er came to find me and said he invited us to eat crab at noon. You little guy have good fortune!"

  As soon as it came to eating, Ah-Dai was still like when he was a kid, his eyes shining brightly, and he smiled foolishly: "Great! Ah-Dai loves eating crabs the most."

  The two of them returned to Shitang Town, laughing and chatting, while the Tianxia Sword remained among the reefs. Although Shiers family had been in close contact with Owen over the years, they still didnt know that Owen and Ah-Dai both possessed martial arts skills. Owen only told them that Ah-Dai had grown up and went out to work at the dock every day.
