Chapter Nine: The Earth-Shattering Fist Battle with Yi Su

A gentle mist envelops the five peaks of Mount Hua, bringing forth the vitality of all things, refreshing the heart and mind, and nourishing the lungs

These words reached Yi Su's ears, and in his youthful arrogance, he could not bear such humiliation. A person who had only been cultivating for less than three months was forced to retreat three steps in front of everyone. Yi Su circulated the true energy within his body, seeking to regain his dignity

Truly unaware of the consequences

"It seems I really was foolish. Did you hear what I asked you?" Yi Su roared, raising his voice.

The realm of condensing true energy is a significant hurdle; the vast majority of cultivators are unable to condense even a trace of true energy within their bodies until death, unable to overcome this barrier.

Let’s see how Yi Su teaches him a lesson this time

The Baishui River nodded slightly towards Lusheng from a distance, but Lusheng felt no fondness for this Baishui River, nor did he harbor any gratitude. He coldly nodded in response, turned around, and continued to contemplate the incantations on the wall

It seems that it has been less than three months since he arrived here; when he first came, he had not even stepped into the first level of bone forging and muscle sculpting.

However, everyone, including Yi Su, believes that Lu Sheng is merely a cultivator and librarian lingering in the first realm. Therefore, Yi Su does not exert his full strength, as it would be difficult to explain to Bai Shichun if Lu Sheng were to be seriously injured.

Now that I have cultivated to the realm of complete harmony of muscles and bones, will you still come to ask me?

To cultivate true energy, one must rely on the techniques for cultivating true energy. Fortunately, the techniques are inscribed on the walls of the True Martial Hall. Lu Sheng had glanced at them briefly last time, but due to the significant difference between his previous realm and the realm of condensing true energy, he did not take them to heart.

This is the technique for condensing true energy into the fourfold physical form, can you understand it? At this moment, a voice sounded in Lu Sheng's ear

Today, I have achieved great success in the third level of the tibia resonance realm, possessing the strength of a thousand pounds, capable of breaking stones and shattering jade with a mere gesture

How could he possibly possess such great strength

Lu Sheng also noticed the force behind Yi Su's punch and understood that Yi Su had shown some restraint. Therefore, he retained a measure of strength and met Yi Su's spiral punch with a force of nine hundred pounds.

Another fool who is completely unaware of the vastness of the world

Unless one cultivates to the realm of condensing true energy, after true energy is condensed within the body, there will be a qualitative leap in strength. If true energy is fully realized, the body and the * book * will possess a surging flow of true energy. Between punches and kicks, true energy can be infused into the hands and feet, resulting in a multiplication of force. A person who originally possesses a strength of five to six hundred pounds in the first realm can exert over a thousand pounds of force, making their power unstoppable

"Drinking," Yi Su did not mobilize his true energy, but simply relied on his physical strength to deliver a spiral punch. Yet, even this single strike, executed purely with physical power, astonishingly reached a terrifying force of 800 pounds.

An ordinary person, after completing the training of bone forging and muscle sculpting, will possess a strength of five hundred pounds, capable of restraining two wild horses with bare hands. From the completion of the first realm to the third realm of harmonious muscles and bones, the physical strength does not increase significantly; rather, what improves is the coordination and fluidity of strength exertion, resulting in enhanced endurance.

In the grand hall, a series of gasps erupted. Achieving a force of eight hundred pounds solely through physical prowess is not merely the mark of an extraordinary talent, but also indicative of a rare individual.

It is likely that there are not many people in this grand hall who can defeat him now. It is said that those who can achieve a strength of a thousand pounds before condensing their true energy can enter the realm of the mind. He probably does not possess a strength of a thousand pounds or any books, does he

However, this time, in order to consolidate the technique for gathering true energy, it is still necessary to go to the Hall of Zhenwu. The disciples in the Hall of Zhenwu are all individuals who cultivate physical realms, yet they regard themselves as of noble birth, looking down upon and rejecting Lu Sheng.

As Lu Sheng entered the Zhenwu Hall, everyone cast unusual glances at him. Lu Sheng paid no attention and walked straight to the fourth level under the technique for condensing true energy.

It seems I still need to go and take a look inside the Zhenwu Hall

At the moment Lu Sheng turned around, a barely perceptible expression flickered in Li Mengyun's eyes

"This is the method for condensing true energy into four levels of physical refinement. You haven't even entered the first level of bone forging and flesh molding; do you understand this four-level technique?" At that time, Li Mengyun said.

Lu Sheng's fist struck a massive rock, and with a "puff" sound, his fist sank into the stone. Now, Lu Sheng's fist was as hard as iron, easily breaking into the rock.

Li Mengyun noticed Lu Sheng staring at her, and her smile instantly froze. A hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes as she hurriedly turned her face towards the Baishui River, still radiating her enchanting smile.

However, they could not have imagined that Lu Sheng had actually consumed the mysterious fruit, and within a single night, he had cultivated his physical prowess to perfection, achieving a terrifying strength of a thousand pounds.

"Stop it, Yi Su!" The faint voice from the Baishui River echoed within the grand hall

Lu Sheng did not really want to go to the Zhenwu Hall, partly because the disciples there were somewhat hostile towards him, and partly because he did not want to see Bai Shuihe and Li Mengyun together

At present, Yi Su has reached the True Qi Transformation Origin Realm, with true qi surging endlessly within him, intermingled with strands of even purer true essence. If he were to unleash his full power in a single strike, even with a strength of a thousand pounds, Lu Sheng would be unable to withstand it

According to the description of the Qi condensation technique in the Zhenwu Hall: Qi is generated from the combination of innate primordial energy and the essence of postnatal water and grains.

This immediately attracted everyone's attention, with gazes that were either mocking, surprised, sympathetic, and so on... Most people knew that Lu Sheng was born into a humble background and had only come to the Huashan Sect due to the favor of a young lady. Just two months ago, he had not even stepped into the realm of physical cultivation, and it was expected that he was still struggling in the first level of body refinement.

Within the Dantian, refine the innate vital energy and essence, transforming them into vigorous true energy. Then, utilize this true energy to break through the barriers of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians as recorded in the Qihua - Tu - Shujing, cleansing the internal waste of the body, thereby elevating the body to a new height

At this moment, Lu Sheng felt an immense sorrow in his heart. He coldly looked at Yi Su and said, "Do not speak to me in that tone."

Upon turning back, it turned out to be Yi Su, who had lifted Li Mengyun's skirt with his vital energy in the great hall that day. Lu Sheng suddenly recalled the scene from just a few months ago when he and Li Mengyun had first arrived at the Zhenwu Great Hall

With a loud bang, everyone in the great hall widened their eyes. In what was originally an unremarkable collision, the outcome was that Yi Su stepped back three paces, while Lu Sheng only retreated one. Lu Sheng's astonishing punch completely shocked everyone present in the hall

... ...

The crowd began to discuss among themselves once again

Yi Su looked at Lu Sheng in front of him, then glanced at the Baishui River, let out a heavy hum, and turned to walk out of the great hall

Looking at Li Mengyun in her plain dress and smiling in the grand hall, Lu Sheng suddenly felt that these few short steps seemed like an insurmountable chasm, cutting straight to the deepest part of his heart, causing a pain as if it were dripping blood

In the grand hall, it seemed as if a pot had exploded, and everyone began to discuss fervently.

Yet such a person actually dares to speak to Yi Su, who has already reached the True Qi Transformation realm
