Chapter 4: Condensing True Qi

This is a placeholder text and does not contain any translatable content.

His heartbeat was like thunder, his hands and feet were icy cold, and he was overwhelmed by a sense of weakness that left him feeling utterly powerless

Perhaps it was due to the defensive stance displayed by Rong Kaixuan that the creature hidden in the grass realized it had lost the opportunity for a sneak attack. Therefore, it flicked its tail and swaggered out.

Although there were no signs, he could sense it. Among the dense tall trees and thick grass, there was a terrifying entity hidden, one whose strength was at least far greater than his own

A tremendous roar erupted, and this giant tiger, weighing over 300 kilograms, was sent flying by his punch

Rong Kaixuan crashed heavily into a large tree, and the intense impact left him feeling dizzy and faint, as if he were on the verge of losing consciousness.

An indescribable great fear suddenly enveloped his heart

When confronted with a deadly tiger, he was utterly unable to showcase the results of his usual rigorous training, let alone demonstrate any extraordinary performance or tap into his potential

Rong Kaixuan's eyes suddenly widened, and an indescribable ecstasy was evident on his face

This is definitely true energy

Ah

An identical sensation, a subtle and almost imperceptible force began to coalesce within his dantian

At the moment just before certain crises occur, they react in advance. Especially when they are being watched from a distance by their natural enemies, they often enter a state of alertness in an instant

Although I have experienced the peril of battling with a fierce tiger, all of this effort is worthwhile

He felt an unbearable pain throughout his body, as if the impact had shattered all the bones in his body.

Although the stars were still twinkling above, he could no longer contain his excitement and wanted to share this good news with his father

Rising to his feet, he opened the door and Rong Kaixuan stepped out in one stride

With the dim starlight sweeping across, the surrounding environment came into view. The familiar road seemed to have become unfamiliar, yet it also appeared clearer than before

However, at this moment he has already understood that this is not his own death, but rather the consciousness attached to that strange body returning to its original form

The concepts of life and death in critical moments and the practice of martial arts in daily life are entirely different.

He never expected that on his first venture into the mountains, he would encounter such a terrifying creature

After gasping for a long time, he finally felt a little better

At this moment, he had completely forgotten that this body was not his own. In his eyes, in his heart, there was only this unparalleled fierce giant tiger.

He blinked twice; although he did not understand why this time the strange condition occurring in his body did not reflect back on him, it was undoubtedly a fortunate and significant matter.

This is an incredibly formidable power, a force that erupts suddenly from his efforts and potential cultivated over more than ten years in a moment of life and death.

Sensing the faint trace of true energy within his dantian, his eyes inexplicably became moist

Between life and death, there indeed exists great terror, and after this great terror, there are also significant gains

Snap

Perhaps it is because I experienced such a perilous scene for the first time that the memory of battling the giant tiger remains vivid and lingers on.

Ah ... ...

However, whenever he recalls the scene from earlier, he is filled with lingering fear, making it difficult for him to calm down

Everything surrounding him at wwwhetushucomcom gave him an extremely fresh feeling, as if the entire world had been imbued with life, becoming "alive".

However, at this moment, all the gloom has dissipated, and his heart is filled with pride

Although the true energy within the dantian is not abundant, its emergence seems to have ushered him into a completely new realm

If this trace of power were to be a bit stronger, or if he had possessed this trace of power before encountering the giant tiger, then the outcome of his battle with the giant tiger could have resulted in two completely different endings

Although the body controlled by Rong Kaixuan had indistinct facial features, it still possessed a nose and eyes, allowing him to clearly see the appearance of the enormous object before him

Rong Kaixuan suddenly jumped up from the bed, his body drenched in cold sweat, and the muscles on his face twitched involuntarily

Getting out of bed, he changed out of his drenched clothes. Looking at the garments soaked in cold sweat, Rong Kaixuan shook his head in self-mockery

This is, unexpectedly, a fierce and menacing tiger that roars proudly in the mountains and forests

Death is, surprisingly, so close

The words of his father echoed faintly in his ears, and it was only at this moment that Rong Kaixuan truly understood the meaning of those words

The roar of the tiger echoes through the mountains; among the many apex predators in the dense forests of the back mountain, the tiger undoubtedly ranks among the top.

At the moment he struck the tiger, his neck was also bitten off by this king of the mountains. In his memory, the scene of the tiger being knocked away was the last image he saw. Subsequently, his consciousness fell into an absolute darkness.

The fist struck fiercely against the tiger, yet the punch, which gathered all his strength, could not halt the advancing force of the tiger.

He began studying martial arts under his father's strict discipline at the age of three

At this moment, anyone can clearly feel the slow approach of death's footsteps

However, today, after a battle with the fierce tiger in the mountains, Rong Kaixuan has finally succeeded

The fierce roar echoed in my ears, as if the tiger had been enraged by my punch and was pouncing at me once again

Under the strict supervision of his father, Rong Kaixuan never slacked off while practicing martial arts. Therefore, his fundamentals are exceptionally solid. However, at the moment he personally faced the tyrant of the mountain, it seemed that more than a decade of effort had turned into futile labor.

The tyrant of the mountains is truly remarkable, as it immediately sensed the fear of the unknown creature ahead

In nature, the senses of animals are undoubtedly the most acute

The dense forest in the back mountain is unexpectedly perilous. Encountering a giant tiger casually is already enough to cost him his life

He quickly arrived at his parents' door

The so-called "nine deaths and one life" refers to placing oneself in an environment where death is certain. If one cannot break through, then death is inevitable

Rong Kaixuan's entire body suddenly tensed; if his true form were present at this moment, he would likely be drenched in sweat by now

Yet this giant tiger, worthy of being the king of beasts, despite enduring such a terrifying blow, still clung to the body of Rong Kaixuan with its massive jaws, refusing to let go even in death

It was as if a blessing had suddenly dawned upon him, and just like that, at the moment he was completely immersed in this feeling, a sudden warmth arose in his lower abdomen

He raised his fist, and a surge of energy born from his dantian immediately flowed into his fist, meeting the oncoming force with great intensity

Roar ... ...

He finally confirmed that his neck and the book were not broken, and that the incident of sustaining seventeen or eighteen fractures from crashing into a large tree had not occurred

Rong Kaixuan struggled to open his eyes, and what he saw was the terrifying and fierce face of the king of beasts. The stench assaulted his senses, almost making him feel as if he were immersed in a pool of blood

True Qi

Rong Kaixuan simply sat down on the ground, quietly savoring the feeling of that moment. His thoughts returned to the final moments; he clearly remembered that a strange power was born within his dantian. Although this power was still weak, merely a trace had emerged. Yet, it was precisely this trace of power that was capable of sending the entire giant tiger flying.

Time seemed to slow down, while his spirit was elevated at an extraordinary pace. This was not his illusion, but rather the momentary explosion of life just before the arrival of death

This massive creature, weighing at least 300 kilograms, charged forward, bringing with it a nauseating stench of blood.

The enormous tiger claw struck the body of Rong Jiexuan as well, and the immense force immediately sent him flying out.

True Qi; this is not only the goal he has pursued day and night for over ten years, but also the lifelong aspiration of his elderly father

This is a massive and ferocious beast, with a light yellow coat and a huge body covered in black horizontal stripes that extend down to the chest and abdomen. The skull of the beast is round, and a ring of longer cheek fur surrounds its cheeks. The ears on its head are short and semi-circular in shape. Its limbs are strong and powerful, and its tail is thick and long, adorned with black rings, while the tip of the tail features a strikingly fearsome black color

He would never forget the loneliness and disappointment on Rong Yiyang's face when he first mentioned giving up. It was a look that could make any man feel heartbroken

At this moment, the strange body controlled by Rong Kaixuan was no less sensitive to impending danger than the most timid and cautious animals in the world

After a brief hesitation, Rong Kaixuan raised his hand and lightly tapped on the door, producing a piercing knocking sound in the darkness

The training during weekdays surprisingly did not yield much effect under those circumstances, indicating that practical experience and training are indeed fundamentally different.

Tiger

Rong Kaixuan's eyes suddenly widened as he finally shook off the fear in his heart at the moment the fierce tiger pounced. Although his limbs were still somewhat weak, he bravely charged forward.

At that very moment, just as his fist was raised, the giant tiger's massive jaws had already clamped down fiercely on his neck. The immense pulling force seemed intent on tearing his body completely in half

Snap ... ...

Thus, he sensed a strange force suddenly emerging from the dantian in his lower abdomen

In what life-and-death circumstances can one truly break through their limits? This is simply a deception that could cost lives without recompense. If every martial practitioner must endure such perilous environments to advance, then those who manage to survive would undoubtedly be one in a hundred.

Glancing at his own body, Rong Kaixuan instinctively touched his neck and chest abdomen

For over ten years, there has not been a single day of interruption. Although a solid foundation has been laid during these years, he has been unable to break through the final barrier, failing to condense a wisp of true energy in his dantian through the practice of martial arts.

That feeling was so intense that he could not suppress it at all

His thoughts gradually sank down, and he strained to recall the sensations of the final moment

The fierce tiger roars, shaking heaven and earth

At this moment, he was completely convinced by his father's words
