Chapter 2, Dual Pulses in Parallel

Moreover, given the conspicuousness of this carriage, it is utterly impossible to conceal its presence.

Sighing, Zong Shou continued to eat the wild boar meat in his hand. When he was about ninety percent full, he felt warm currents of energy moving around within him.

In a previous life, Zong Shou was able to dominate over hundreds of millions of players, and this guiding technique can be said to be of great merit

However, this energy is not true internal power, but rather what is referred to as "essence," which is gathered from the purest spiritual energy. It is absorbed from the meat of the wild boar and would normally dissipate over time. At this moment, however, it is forcibly gathered to the dantian through the guiding technique of the sect guardian. It can strengthen the body, transform into internal breath, heal injuries, and even be transferred to others, serving multiple purposes

Until the completion of the entire set of guiding techniques, the sharp light in Yin Yang's eyes finally receded. He said lightly: "This set of movements, may I ask where the young master learned it? If practiced diligently, even if one cannot become a great hero in the future, one can still strengthen the body"

The basic guidance does not originate from ancient traditions, but rather is a creation of certain players within the game "Divine Emperor". Its purpose is to guide the body in absorbing energy from the external environment, transforming it into one's own as much as possible. Practicing it alongside internal breathing techniques is highly beneficial, especially during the cultivation of fundamental skills, as it can enhance efficiency by at least 30 percent

"Practicing these postures again looks quite strange, and one cannot even fight. Young Master, is this something learned from the Linhai Academy? Those spiritual masters only know how to deceive, claiming to teach without discrimination and to embrace all under heaven"

Zong Shou pretended not to hear, his expression focused, striving to complete each action in the most perfect manner

On ordinary days, Zong Shou practiced inside the carriage, three times a day. The first snow had long been witnessed, and after just a brief glance, it no longer held any interest.

In the past two days, the two have increasingly distanced themselves from one another, ostensibly for hunting. However, each time they return, they are always enveloped in a strong stench of blood. It is not the blood of beasts, but rather that which is tainted by human lives

Just when I was troubled, a sudden flash of inspiration crossed my mind, and another passage of text swept by.

So fragrant! Gudu! Really delicious! The little master's grilling skills have improved a lot compared to before

Within his body, as he had anticipated, there existed two meridians coexisting

This body is that of a half-demon, possessing the bloodlines of both humans and foxes, each with an extraordinary origin. It embodies the strengths of both lineages, and its innate qualities and elemental affinities are undoubtedly exceptional

Zong Shou is one of the participants and initiators. Before coming here, he had already been studying the seventh set of movements, but unfortunately had not yet completed it. Then, the "Zhou Ji Ming Shi Shu" was published, triggering the War of the Seven Emperors in the Cloud Realm

In the realm of clouds, all races cultivate their practices based on the Nine Veins of the Body. The nine veins encircle the entire body.

Upon hearing this, Yin Yang was clearly taken aback for a moment, but then he seemed unfazed, continuing to eat meat heartily. In a cold tone, he said: "Please rest assured, Young Master, this area within six hundred miles has already been cleared. It is merely that the hawks and eagles follow us day and night. Whether we make a fire or not is of no consequence. Both I and Chuxue need some time to rest and recuperate."

As the pigskin had turned a golden yellow, Zong Shou carefully brushed a layer of sesame oil and applied spices, making the meat aroma even more enticing.

A glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes as he focused his mind, directing the warm currents to return entirely to his energy sea. He had temporarily abandoned the thought of continuing to cultivate his internal energy.

Zong Shouzheng stood up, walked to the side, and chose an open spot in the library. He began to move his body, occasionally bending at the waist, sometimes leaning forward, and at other times stretching his limbs, somewhat resembling the popular aerobics for weight loss in later generations

The wild boar, weighing over 4 tons, was divided into several portions. At least half of it was fed to the horse known as "Tayunju" nearby. Mixed with soybean fodder, it was enjoying a delicious meal.

After finishing the pork, Yin Yang and Chuxue each entered a state of meditation and breathing exercises. Their breathing gradually became even, resembling a state of sleep

Yin Yang was seeing it for the first time; after just the first glance, his eyes were filled with a hidden brilliance, and he could not look away

Only three pig legs remain, one of which is currently being roasted. Yin Yang and Su Chuxue each took one, eating with grease dripping from their mouths

Zong Shou instinctively gasped, not wanting to disturb the two people beside him, and forced himself to endure. It was not until a moment later that the excruciating pain slightly subsided, leaving him drenched in cold sweat on both his front and back.

Zong Shou slightly nodded, indicating that he had learned something, yet a hint of unusual expression crossed his face

Indeed! It is due to the parallelism of the meridians

During these seven days, the only thing he knew was that he had once studied at the familiar coastal academy, and he had spent a considerable amount of time there, until he was recently taken out by the two individuals.

Upon arriving in this world, what he felt most fortunate about was the decades of reading in his previous life, the validation within virtual illusions, which accumulated martial arts experience far surpassing that of all martial artists in this era

The voice was vague and indistinct; if one did not pay attention, it would be impossible to hear clearly. Zongshou could not help but smile faintly. Chuxue, his maid, hailed from the Tiger Cat clan, a branch of the demon race. Although she possessed a beautiful appearance, she was inherently gluttonous and restless. She seemed gentle and elegant, akin to a refined young lady, yet she could hardly remain idle for even a moment. Especially when it came to eating, she always left people astonished. Although her name was Su Chuxue, apart from her skin, which indeed surpassed frost and snow, her other qualities and temperament had little to do with her name.

Uncle Yin, with the great enemy still lurking nearby, is it not somewhat inappropriate for us to stop here and make a fire

Only this naturally born spirit creature is even rarer. Zong Shou had not even thought about it.

The heir apparent must be the offspring of the Demon King within the demon clan

The so-called demon clan, according to later records, refers to the ancient ancestors who, in order to combat the rampant alien beasts that plagued the world, infused their own bodies with the blood of certain powerful beasts to enhance their combat strength

Moreover, this Yin Yang, with his knowledge and experience, surprisingly could not discern the depth of the other party.

This text is derived from an ancient martial arts secret manual he fortuitously obtained in his early years, known as "Swallowing the Origin." It once stirred boundless turmoil in the Cloud Realm, inciting countless bloody storms and earning a notorious reputation across the ten directions of the world, regarded by people as a taboo.

Either one practices special techniques suitable for dual meridians, of which there are several in the memory of the sect. Moreover, all possess extraordinary power, at least on par with supreme skills, yet none are suitable.

At this moment, whenever Zong Shou completes an action, a stream of air is forcibly guided by him into the lower abdomen's Qi Sea

Subsequently, from the nearby forest, a piece of ironwood, commonly found in the Cloud Realm, was felled and carved into several wooden flying knives, each approximately half a foot long, using the fine steel sword in hand

Having spent seven days in the carriage, although Zong Shou had not personally witnessed Yin Yang's initial snow or engaged in combat, the scars on both sides of the carriage were all freshly inflicted. Moreover, there were countless holes that nearly penetrated the iron plates of the carriage walls. In some areas, there were even traces of blood, which were shocking to behold. It is evident that before he arrived in this world, he must have undergone a series of perilous experiences

It seems that there is indeed a formidable enemy nearby, posing a precarious threat.

A physique akin to the dual meridians running parallel would likely extinguish the desire to practice martial arts in others. However, for him, it is not without hope

When that tragic era came to an end, these individuals were feared by humanity, and thus they formed their own community, which is the origin of what is known as the Demon Clan

If this technique were to be employed, it could indeed resolve the conflict within his bloodlines, and even lead to a significant increase in his cultivation. However, this method should only be used in dire circumstances, when one is truly facing a life-and-death situation; he would not wish to resort to it lightly. Especially considering his dual bloodline physique, it could potentially introduce even greater risks. At this moment, he remains in a state of hesitation.

Zong Shou looked up and indeed saw several small black dots darting through the clouds. His heart sank once again; with these "eyes" in the sky, the other party could easily grasp the movements of his group.

After ten thousand years, this group has nearly become extinct, and the only time one has seen the Zongshou is in games

However, what concerns him more at this moment is the way Yin Yang addresses him. Chuxue calls him "Young Master," while Yin Yang refers to him as "Heir."

The demon clan has a hundred branches, most of which are unruly and defiant. As the heir to the demon king, yet possessing no strength to bind even a chicken, one can only imagine what kind of fate awaits.

How truly deserved! Fiery Cold Flame Technique, Great Reversal Divine Art, Sun and Moon Radiant Wheel, when I first seized it, why didn't I take a closer look? Although it is somewhat trashy

The rich aroma of meat wafts across the fields. A terrifyingly large beast's leg is being pierced by a steel spear, suspended over the fire for roasting, with fat occasionally dripping down, producing a sizzling sound.

The way of Heaven is to diminish the excess and replenish the insufficient. The way of man is to diminish the insufficient in order to serve the excess

Recalling the information from the previous life at wwwhetushu.com, Zong Shou's brows gradually furrowed

In particular, a pair of hands makes the muscle groups firmer and the bones more resilient

At this moment, Chuxue finished eating the pig leg in her hand, but she also tore off half of the roasted foreleg. While eating, she looked over with curiosity

Zong Shou's expression suddenly froze. In the next moment, however, as if seeing a snake or scorpion, he hurriedly drove these memories out of his consciousness, firmly burying them deep within his memory.

However, precisely because of this, the conflicts between them have resulted in a terrifyingly low physical strength, rendering him unable to cultivate any internal energy normally

Zong Shou also sat cross-legged, initially testing by running a basic mental technique. He transformed the essence within his energy sea into internal breath. At first, he felt nothing, but when those streams of energy barely surged into his meridians, he suddenly felt a sharp pain throughout his body, as if a hundred thousand steel needles had simultaneously pierced into him, nearly causing him to cry out in pain

The former is somewhat refined, while the latter completely disregards their own image. It is as if they would swallow their bones if they could. While devouring their food with great enthusiasm, they also gaze at Zong Shou with an expression of utmost admiration

At that moment when Zong Shou was channeling his energy, he distinctly felt those vital essences within his meridians actually diverging in their paths

Furthermore, it involves acquiring several rare treasures of heaven and earth. This enhances any one of the bloodlines, suppresses the other party, improves physical constitution, and unifies the two bloodlines.

Calm and composed, with measured demeanor, he does not resemble a coachman in any way.

With the dagger in hand, he casually cut off a piece of roasted meat and ate it slowly. Then, Zong Shou's gaze inadvertently turned once again towards the nearby carriage

After that, he inexplicably arrived in this world

With a deep sigh, Zong Shou turned to disperse all the gathered essence into his limbs and bones, strengthening his body
