Chapter 3: The Strange Body

Rong Yiyang patted his son's back and said, "You are not allowed to practice boxing today; go back to your room and rest well. Haha, it has been over ten years, and I have never let you sleep in. I truly am an unqualified father."

Having received the true teachings of Rong Yiyang, Rong Kaixuan, whose martial arts skills are nearly on par with his father's, was naturally able to easily evade everyone's notice, skillfully vaulting over the tall courtyard wall and leaving the place.

A martial artist, in the moment of life and death, will experience a profound spiritual awakening a thousandfold.

Rong Yiyang chuckled and said, "I know you might find it hard to accept for the time being, but when you reach my age, you will understand." He sighed lightly and continued, "In fact, sometimes we have no choice but to believe in fate. If it is destined, then what is yours will be yours; if it is not yours, no matter what you do, you cannot obtain it."

However, no matter how much richer Rong Yiyang's imagination could be, he would never be able to guess what good deed his precious son had actually done

His room is not small; there is even a practice room that is not too large in the side hall.

Rong Kaixuan crouched down, adopting a defensive stance. After scanning the surroundings, his indistinct figure suddenly fixed its gaze on a specific direction

Countless thoughts swirled in his mind, yet no matter how exceptionally clever he was, he could not comprehend what had truly transpired

Rong Kaixuan clearly remembered that he had just poked the arm of the creature in front of him with his finger. However, at this moment, he surprisingly felt a sensation of being poked on his own arm as well

He was excited all night, and it was not until the next day when the sky brightened that he reluctantly withdrew his thoughts. However, even though he retracted his thoughts, this strange body did not fall as a result; it merely stood there in a daze, like an unconscious wooden post.

Suddenly, Rong Kaixuan's body sprang up as if equipped with springs. His eyes shone brightly, fixated intently on his wooden bed.

Since the formal approach is not feasible, we have no choice but to take risks

It seems as if he shares a single body with this creature

Although there were no visible bruises on his body, the intense pain was undeniably real

The lessons learned over more than ten years have made him understand that if one relies on ordinary methods, the possibility of activating true energy while boxing is absolutely minimal

After discovering this secret, driven by curiosity, he manipulated this body to enter the training room and performed a set of punches there. The final conclusion was that the strength, speed, and skills possessed by this body were in no way inferior to his own.

After hesitating for an entire night, he could not come up with any feasible solutions. However, after a night of study, he gained some small insights.

Rong Kaixuan, pushed by his father, stumbled back into the room in a daze

Seeing Rong Yiyang's face filled with a satisfied smile, Rong Kaixuan silently lowered his head

However, this time, he did not enter the thicket in front of the manor, but rather ventured into the back mountain of the village, a place where no one dared to go deep into.

Rong Kaixuan maneuvered this body swiftly through the jungle

He stepped out of the door; although he had not slept all night, his spirits remained quite high.

Then, what would happen if he transferred his consciousness to this body and entered the deep mountains

It is merely m.hetushu.com. Although he saw in his father a demeanor that became relaxed due to a sincere release, he could not find joy in his own heart because of it

It is unclear how long he had been running, but Rong Kaixuan suddenly came to a halt

However, at this moment, it was broad daylight, and he was unwilling to let this faceless fellow go out to scare people

That mysterious body, which seemed to have emerged from its own spiritual center, was indistinguishable from its own body except for its facial features.

What is even more astonishing is that this body can be controlled by his thoughts

Because at that moment, he had a vague sense of crisis

Triumph, let us not practice martial arts today

However, Rong Yiyang smiled and comforted, saying that this young man is emotionally unstable, but he will be fine after some time

To cultivate true energy and become a martial artist, to fight for a breath of dignity for his father—this was the ideal that had been instilled in him countless times since childhood. However, overnight, a dramatic change occurred.

Upon this thought, his heart surged like a tempest, yearning to try it immediately

This estate is merely an inconspicuous small place among the numerous properties of the Rong family. Therefore, there are no martial arts experts stationed here; Rong Yiyang, who has practiced boxing, is already the most formidable person in this location

It is said that as long as one can endure in that environment, their cultivation will undoubtedly experience a significant enhancement

Rong Kaixuan felt a stir in his heart; could it be that yesterday's opportunity was also destined for him

However, as Rong Yiyang stated, often after falling into a desperate situation, one is already struck down before breaking through, leaving not even a trace of bones. With his frail physique, if he foolishly dreams of entering the deep mountains to challenge numerous kings, it would be nothing short of seeking his own death

Beyond Zhuangzi lies a vast mountain range

Sitting idly on the chair, he had cast aside all other distractions and was wholly focused on how to refine his true energy

It is said that the ancestors of the Rong family once made a pact with a certain overlord in the mountains, establishing the mountain entrance as a boundary. From then on, any human or spirit beast that reached a certain level of cultivation was prohibited from crossing this boundary.

It seems that when he touches the other person, he is also touching his own body

For over a decade, he has diligently practiced martial arts every day, a habit that has deeply ingrained itself into his very bones and blood

This is a feeling that is entirely unfounded, yet it is so intense and real

With a gentle sigh, Rong Kaixuan reluctantly admitted that he had no good solutions.

Each individual's constitution is inherently different. If one could easily overcome this hurdle, they would have already become a qualified martial artist a year ago, and would not be enduring the wait until now

The gaze shifted slightly and landed on the wooden bed

After a long while, he gritted his teeth and once again reached out to pat the body of this mysterious creature. Subsequently, the look of astonishment on his face grew even more intense.

If one is not clearly aware that one's consciousness resides within another body, one is almost destined to lose oneself in it

Rong Kaixuan stopped, not because he did not want to continue trying, but because his body was faintly in pain, making it difficult to persist. Just now, due to excessive fright, he had struck harder than intended, and the consequence was that he was grimacing and hopping on his feet.

His fists were tightly clenched, his feet stood firmly in a V-shape, and a hint of formidable fighting spirit emanated from him

Habitually arriving at the training ground in the backyard, he was about to start practicing his punches when he heard his father's voice calling from behind him

"Hehe, as your father, I want you to practice martial arts, hoping that you can refine your true energy and bring honor to me. However..." Rong Yiyang smiled and said, "After what happened yesterday, I no longer have that thought. As long as our family is together, that is the greatest happiness."

Such a vast mountain range can naturally nurture countless strong individuals

This distance has already become quite remote, and although he can still sense the existence of his own body, he does not dare to delve any deeper

However, the most significant discovery was that he could project his thoughts into this body, allowing it to perform any actions according to his intentions

Rong Kaixuan thought seriously for a moment, then hid it under his bed, covering it with the bed sheet to prevent anyone from noticing.

Deep within his heart, there was an impulse to conceal this matter, to never let anyone know about it.

Restless, Rong Kaixuan finally awaited the arrival of nightfall. After having dinner, he hurriedly bid farewell to his parents and returned to his room

It is precisely for this reason that, although there are no masters stationed in this manor, it has always remained as tranquil as a mountain, never experiencing an invasion of beast tides.

It seems that something is hidden in the eerie darkness, staring at oneself with terrifying eyes

What is going on here

Such a unique advantage, if not fully utilized and applied, will undoubtedly incur divine retribution

Rong Kaixuan was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Why?"

Upon returning to the room, Rong Kaixuan immediately attached his consciousness to the faceless body. Subsequently, he carefully manipulated this body to leave the room, stealthily making his way outside the manor.

This creature has an inseparable relationship with itself; perhaps it is the manifestation of the energy sphere that exists in its own mind.

An extremely bizarre and audacious thought was born in his mind

Once he left the manor, he immediately took off running with all his might

His mother inquired with some surprise to her husband when their son had become so impulsive

For example, raising a hand, for example, walking, for example... cultivating martial arts

With his hand paused, Rong Kaixuan lightly bit his lower lip, gazing at the object, yet he was uncertain in his heart about what the best course of action would be.

This is undoubtedly the greatest discovery; within this body, there exists a structure identical to his own. Aside from the blurred features of the face, as long as his consciousness enters this biological entity, he can manipulate it as if it were his own body.

Because he discovered that no matter which part of this body he struck, he would feel it as if it were his own. Moreover, he could easily perceive the intensity of the blows.

Because this body, while consuming energy during running, is also continuously drawing energy from the external environment

For some reason, he did not have the slightest thought of seeking help from his father

He was pleasantly surprised to discover that the physical quality of this body seemed to be significantly stronger than his own. Particularly in terms of endurance, it possessed advantages that he found difficult to attain.

Such a change can be described as immense; perhaps it is something that Rong Yiyang, with decades of life experience, can see through, but it is certainly not something he can easily accept

This mountain range stretches for countless miles, and even in the records of the Rong family, it is impossible to provide a specific figure
