Chapter 7: The Power of the Dragon, Tiger, and Elephant
He only deduced five moves, which correspond to the five realms of martial arts, similar to the Jiangyue Breaking Waves Technique. The fifth move, Tiger Enters the Sheep Pen, lacks significant power because the meridians in Jiangnan have not been opened, and there is no true energy to activate it
Tie Zhu expressed his admiration without restraint, revealing a look of envy, and said: "I never expected that your Jiang family is also a family of martial arts. Although it is slightly inferior to the true Dragon and Tiger Elephant Strength Technique, it can still be regarded as a top-tier skill!"
The divine elephant treads upon the mountain
Release the trapped tiger
The energy in Jiangnan gradually calmed down, and I could feel the power within me significantly increasing. I was both surprised and delighted, and I laughed, saying: "Zhuzi, how does my set of skills compare to the Dragon and Tiger Strength Technique of the Qi Wang Mansion?"
This is what Sister Jiang Xue referred to as vision and insight
The strength of a tiger is equivalent to 1,000 pounds, capable of drawing a bow with a force of 8 stones; the strength of an elephant is 10,000 pounds, while the strength of a dragon reaches 100,000 pounds
The limbs of Jiangnan moved in unison, with skin, flesh, tendons, and bones in perfect harmony. His body resembled a swimming dragon, with true energy radiating between his hands and feet, awakening the immense potential within him. Suddenly, a dragon's roar resonated from his chest, deep and melodious. Though the sound was low, it stirred the blood and energy within the iron pillar, as if a heavy stone were pressing down on his chest, nearly causing him to bleed.
Tie Zhu, filled with excitement, pulled Jiang Nan and quickly walked out of the city. Upon reaching a secluded and uninhabited forest, he suddenly leaped into a spacious area, where he demonstrated the techniques of the Dragon-Tiger-Elephant Power Secret he had secretly learned on the sturdy iron bridge.
Jiangnan's face flushed with embarrassment; his ancestors were from a scholarly family, and he held a strong prejudice and disdain towards martial arts, believing it to be the pursuit of brutes and simpletons. He questioned whether any profound skills or divine techniques could possibly be passed down.
Due to limitations in his cultivation, he could only deduce the first five levels of the Heart Method of the Dragon and Tiger Elephant Power. However, he had no clear understanding of the differences and gaps between this Heart Method and the true Dragon and Tiger Elephant Power Technique.
A practitioner of ordinary bone refining already possesses the strength of a tiger. Only after cultivating to the stage of Qi refining can one attain the strength of an elephant. Upon achieving the external vigor, one reaches the astonishing strength of a dragon.
This is the function of the Magic Abyss Xuan Tai Sutra wwwhetushu .com .com, the starting point of this practice is indeed very high. Although Jiangnan has only practiced for a few hours, his vision and understanding have already undergone a significant transformation.
What do you want to do
You little rascal, rabbits do not eat the grass near their burrows, yet you have even eaten the grass right by your own burrow
What?
Jiang Xue greeted Tie Zhu, who blushed deeply, still looking somewhat dazed and unsure of what to do. Jiang Nan took the bamboo basket from his hands, placed the food on the stone table, and said with a smile: "Sister, you should join us for a meal as well"
This feeling is truly wonderful
Jiang Xue tidied up the dishes and went to wash them. Only then did Tie Zhu feel a sense of relief and let out a sigh, curiously asking: "Zichuan, your sister is surprisingly beautiful, even more so than the princess... By the way, is your sister married?"
These words are clearly not something a rough man like Tie Zhu could articulate; rather, they are a recitation of the original words of King Qi. Jiangnan had also heard the servants of the Qi royal palace discussing this extraordinary skill. It is said that the first generation of King Qi, after encountering a true dragon and a divine elephant, and having seen a tiger demon capable of splitting mountains, created this mental technique only after escaping from the brink of death.
The force technique of the dragon and tiger that he deduced himself embodies the characteristic of being fierce and domineering to the fullest extent, with an offensive but no defensive strategy, advancing relentlessly, showcasing the brutality of the dragon, the ferocity of the tiger, and the divine power of the elephant, penetrating deeply into the essence of each
Tie Zhu has only learned a few techniques, and they are incomplete; he has not grasped the essence of the Longhu Xiangli Jue. However, at this moment, the magic bell within Jiangnan is continuously vibrating and ringing, with various peculiar patterns emerging on its surface, depicting dragons soaring and tigers leaping, and myriad phenomena in motion.
What he has learned is seemingly correct yet fundamentally flawed; many of the techniques are merely superficial, and once half of them are executed, they cannot be continued, thus failing to reveal the intricacies of the techniques.
The Dragon Moves in a Hundred Ways
In the blink of an eye, he unleashed the other two moves of the Dragon-Tiger Elephant Strength Technique. The fourth move, "Dragon and Snake Rise from the Land," is a form of body technique, where the dragon swims through the great river and the snake weaves through thorns, moving without a trace, making it impossible for others to discern his landing position. The fifth move, "Tiger Enters the Sheep Pen," is purely a killing technique, like a hungry tiger preying on sheep, delivering a fatal blow
Even so, being able to glance at it once and remember so much is already quite remarkable, indicating that one's aptitude and comprehension are not lacking.
Tie Zhu was already stunned into silence, and after a long while, he finally came to his senses. He gave a thumbs up and laughed, saying: "Zi Chuan, is this your ancestral skill? Impressive, truly impressive! I didn't expect you to be so modest, yet you possess such remarkable abilities!"
Jiangnan suddenly lunged forward, his body darting ahead as he struck out with both palms. The movements intertwined like a scissor, and the true energy rubbed between his hands. In an instant, a roar akin to that of a tiger erupted from between his palms, the sound deafening, as if a fierce tiger, imprisoned in a cage for four or five days, at the peak of its ferocity, had just broken free and was ready to devour a person.
Jiangnan, in a moment of inspiration, stepped into a spacious area. As his true energy circulated and his body moved, an incredibly wild momentum erupted from within him, akin to a fierce and ferocious dragon springing forth from the abyss. This startled Tie Zhu, who had never anticipated that such a brutal force could erupt from Jiangnan's seemingly small frame
Dong! Dong! Dong!
Jiangnan could not help but feel envious; King Qi was a martial arts master at the Divine Wheel realm, possessing extraordinarily formidable skills. It was indeed a pity not to witness such a person in action. However, compared to watching King Qi practice martial arts, he felt that his own gains were even more substantial. The events that transpired that morning were already enough to change his life, providing him with benefits that would last a lifetime
The intricacy of these techniques is certainly not on par with the River Moon Breaking Waves Technique, yet they impart an extraordinarily grand feeling, as if possessing the might of a dragon and the momentum of a galloping tiger
With five moves completed, Jiangnan stood firm, feeling a faint crackling in his bones. The explosive sounds echoed as waves of violent power surged through every corner of his body, causing the strength within him to continuously rise.
The King of Qi personally guides the young nobles of the Wang residence
He had previously attempted to derive the fourth level of the mental technique from the first three levels of the "Jiangyue Breaking Waves" method, but now he could deduce the entire set of mental techniques merely by observing fragments of some moves. The difficulty had undoubtedly increased countless times compared to before, yet the feeling it gave him was remarkably effortless and satisfying
Zichuan, the martial arts of your Jiang family differ from the Dragon and Tiger Elephant Force techniques of the Qi Wangfu, and while the momentum may be somewhat inferior, it is still quite remarkable!
Tie Zhu, with a smile, said: "I heard King Qi mention that if this divine skill is cultivated to transcend the martial arts and reaches the realm of divine powers, one will possess the strength of both dragon and elephant, with the power of one dragon equating to ten elephants, making one invincible!"
The true energy of the Demonic Abyss Profound Fetus Scripture flows through his body along a peculiar path, stimulating the increasingly surging power within him, allowing him to grasp the essence of the Dragon-Tiger Elephant Strength Technique with unparalleled clarity
All the variations of the Dragon and Tiger Elephant Power Technique stem from these twelve characters. The more Jiangnan contemplates the profound essence contained within these twelve characters, the deeper their understanding of the Dragon and Tiger Elephant Power Technique becomes. They can not only restore the techniques of the Dragon and Tiger Elephant Power but also deduce the mental methods behind it.

The dragon emerges from the abyss
Tie Zhu murmured with a smile, "Seeing that you are fine, I am relieved. It is truly a pity that you did not go to the Qi Wang Mansion today. This morning, the Qi Wang personally inspected the martial arena and even stepped onto the field himself, demonstrating a series of punches and kicks. My goodness, it was indeed astonishing!"
Column, I... um, my ancestors also passed down a set of martial arts techniques, which are quite similar to the Dragon and Tiger Strength Formula, look!
The mysteries of such profound knowledge will naturally be deduced by his Demonic Prison Profound Fetus Scripture, appearing on the surface of the Demonic Bell, supporting the operation of true energy
Is it not better than the true techniques of the Dragon and Tiger?
Jiangnan executed the third form of the Dragon-Tiger Elephant Force Technique he had created, the Divine Elephant Treads the Mountain. With each step he took, he moved forward, stepping down thirteen times in total. With every step he landed, a square stone slab measuring two to three feet was shattered beneath his foot
Jiang Xue nodded and also sat by the stone table. Jiang Nan brought another pair of bowls and chopsticks, inviting Tie Zhu to sit down as well. Jiang Xue preferred a light diet, having only eaten a few bites of vegetarian dishes and rice before putting down her bowl and chopsticks. In contrast, Jiang Nan and Tie Zhu were both big eaters, finishing off the remaining food in no time.
Moreover, his punches and kicks do not contain any true energy; they are purely based on strength, which cannot fully unleash the power of the techniques
The tiger emerges from its cage
What could be more surreal than his experience last night? What could be more thrilling than what he went through last night?
I originally had the strength of two tigers, and now it has definitely increased by half
Jiangnan remained silent, still immersed in the profound intricacies of the Dragon-Tiger Elephant Strength Technique. Every precise variation of each move and stance of the technique was firmly grasped in his mind
He is equivalent to lying on the shoulders of giants; although he is lying down, he can still look down upon the ordinary people beneath the giant's feet
It must be said that the Longhu Xiangli Jue is indeed an extremely powerful technique. Its pure attacking power surpasses that of the Jiangyue Polang Jue, though it is slightly inferior in terms of the intricacy of the technique. However, the ferocity of its attack is unparalleled in Jiangnan's history.
Jiangnan furrowed his brow slightly, but soon relaxed. He was merely improvising the Dragon-Tiger Elephant Strength Technique, evolving it solely from the remnants of Tie Zhu's moves. Having not witnessed the powerful practitioners like King Qi demonstrate it in person, it is understandable that he could not perfect the Dragon-Tiger Elephant Strength Technique.
Although the Dragon-Tiger Elephant Power Technique surpasses countless mental methods such as the Blood Transformation Divine Skill, in the face of the Demonic Abyss Profound Fetus Scripture, even the Dragon-Tiger Elephant Power Technique is merely a superficial and ordinary martial art, unable to transcend the realm of the Demonic Abyss Profound Fetus
The Dragon and Tiger Elephant Power Technique is indeed extraordinarily marvelous, causing a significant surge in the power within him. While the Demonic Prison Profound Fetal Scripture lacks practical applications, the Dragon and Tiger Elephant Power Technique has developed a portion of the potential of this supreme demonic art, greatly enhancing his bodily functions, flesh, and bones.
I have now reached the Bone Refinement stage, capable of lifting a two-thousand-pound boulder, possessing the strength of at least two tigers.
In his eyes, it was no longer the moves of the iron pillar, but rather as if he truly saw the great beasts like dragons and tigers battling fiercely. The exquisite variations that the iron pillar had not mastered naturally appeared in his mind, as if he had already thoroughly internalized the techniques of the Dragon and Tiger Elephant Force!
The heart of Jiangnan is surging with emotions, secretly stating: "I cultivate the Demon Abyss Profound Fetal Scripture, which is equivalent to viewing the Dragon and Tiger Elephant Force Technique from the perspective of the Demon Abyss Profound Fetal Scripture; it is naturally clear at a glance! No wonder Sister Jiang Xue said that her ability to deduce the Jiang Yue Breaking Waves Technique to as many as eighteen layers relies not on intelligence, but on vision and insight!"
A soft exclamation escaped from Jiangnan, as these intermittent moves stirred a resonance within his internal energy, causing it to stir restlessly in response to the actions and techniques of the iron pillar
Jiangnan became alert, coughed softly, and said in a low voice: "Zhuzi, that is my cousin, not my biological sister. We made a betrothal when we were young; in name we are siblings, but in reality, we are husband and wife"
As he moved his feet, the gravel was shaken into the air, hovering at a height of about one foot, and was then shattered by a violent force. At the same time, his arms, resembling the trunk of an elephant, continuously swung forward, striking the air with a loud crack, the force being fierce and domineering, delivering a total of thirteen powerful blows
Whenever Tie Zhu spoke of martial arts, his eyes sparkled with excitement, and he laughed, saying: "At that time, I was hiding in the shadows, watching and secretly learning a couple of moves, which were truly astonishing. The Dragon and Tiger Strength Technique consists of three essential principles: the Dragon's ever-changing movements, the Tiger's escape from captivity, and the Divine Elephant's ability to bear mountains. It is not only important to grasp their forms but also to capture their essence! Only when both form and essence are present can one achieve the highest level of martial arts"
The "Tiger, Elephant, and Dragon Power Techniques" were highly praised by the founding emperor, who promised them as the most domineering mental methods in the world. Furthermore, due to this mental method, during the assessment of martial artists in the Jianwu Kingdom, the levels of martial artists were categorized based on Tiger Power, Elephant Power, and Dragon Power.
The Qi King employed a unique skill, which is one of the four supreme techniques of the royal palace, namely the Dragon-Tiger Elephant Strength Technique
Zichuan, the Dragon and Tiger Elephant Force Secret Technique is in the hands of King Qi, its might is magnitudes greater than in my possession, even possessing the form of a tiger and elephant dragon, with a single punch unleashed, the dragon roars and the tiger howls
