Chapter 9, Dragon Subduing Fist

Qin Wentian was unaware that the method of acupuncture he practiced was an extremely rare secret technique, one that could not be found anywhere in the entire State of Chu

The Nine Heavens Star River, formed by the convergence of the star souls from the first three layers of communication, carries a faint golden halo; the higher the martial destiny star, the more terrifying the energy it contains, and its hue will differ, with the halo becoming increasingly bright. Upon reaching the middle three layers, the hue undergoes a transformation, turning into a crimson gold color. Therefore, as soon as you release the star soul, others will know that you are communicating with at least the star soul of the fourth layer.

The immense energy contained within this meteorite, combined with the dominance of the Hammer Star, should enable me to break through swiftly. Qin Wentian thought to himself, and then took out the manual for the Dragon Subduing Fist to review. He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart; this Dragon Subduing Fist is a form of divine power

During the day, I practice the Dragon Subduing Fist, and at night, I draw upon the meteorite to comprehend the stars, enhancing my realm. I hope to become a bit stronger within two days to restore the Qin family's honor. Qin Wentian thought to himself that the effects of cultivating the power of the stars at night are better than during the day

The Dragon Subduing Fist is based on a foundation of strength and dominance, its force resembling that of a dragon. It consists of three techniques: Angry Dragon Emerges from the Sea, Dragon Soars in the Wilderness, and Nine Heavens Dragon Roar

With a call, Qin Wentian's long hair danced in the wind, embodying the vigor of youth. He glanced at his fist, his handsome eyes shining like stars. The power of his moves was formidable; if he were to step into the realm of the Wheel Veins in the future and unleash the Dragon Subduing Fist, the terror it would invoke alongside the scriptures would be unimaginable, subduing dragons and tigers.

It is evident that the rarity of meteorites is such that ordinary individuals would not have the opportunity to obtain one unless they belong to a prominent family or aristocracy

Suddenly, Qin Wentian took out the star meteorite again, sensing the celestial power within it, which was extremely surging, likely originating from the second heaven's star meteorite

Heibei looked at Qin Wentian and said to him, "Release the Star Soul for me to see."

The terrifying existence of the Celestial Realm transcends the Yuan Mansion, reaching both heaven and earth. It is said that among the hundreds of millions of people in the Great Chu Kingdom, very few have heard of the powerful beings from the Celestial Realm. If one were to appear, a single individual could serve as the law of a nation

After breaking through the boundary, Qin Wentian showed no intention of resting and directly began to practice the second move of the Dragon Subduing Fist, "Dragon Battles in the Wild".

Within two days, Qin Wentian devoted himself wholeheartedly, neglecting sleep and food.

Suddenly, Qin Wentian opened his eyes, and a brilliant light burst forth. He bent his waist and stepped forward, his figure resembling that of a dragon. With an angry roar, he seemed to transform into a furious dragon, his fist striking forward with tremendous force. A loud rumble echoed as a stone pillar ahead exploded, sending fragments of stone flying in all directions

The methods of these acupuncture points are extensive, encompassing therapeutic techniques, methods for regulating meridians, and ways to stimulate potential, among others. Today, he has become a martial practitioner, capable of incorporating the power of the stars into the acupuncture techniques, thereby enabling the utilization of greater strength

"Go ahead." Heibei and *Tu* closed their eyes. Qin Wentian stepped back and arrived at the edge of the training ground, where there was a bookshelf filled with numerous books. These were the fruits of Heibei's labor, which Qin Wentian had been reading since childhood and had now gone through several times. Among them, the most frequent was the method of acupoint manipulation. Qin Wentian speculated that Heibei's star soul might be related to the method of acupoint manipulation.

Qin Wentian took out a book and reviewed it once. He then sat cross-legged and began to insert silver needles into the acupoints on his head. Before long, he sensed that within his star gate, the color of the star soul power hidden inside had gradually faded slightly. This change in color did not affect the power of the star soul.

During the day, Qin Wentian did not cease his practice of the method of relentless refinement until he broke through the constraints of his realm and stepped into the fifth level of body refinement. His physical form became increasingly perfect. Within seven days, he broke through five levels consecutively. If this were to be known, it would astonish the world.

Another day, the stars in the sky gradually faded away, and a hint of fish white appeared on the eastern horizon. Qin Wentian opened his eyes, feeling invigorated and refreshed, yet he seemed to be lost in thought, gazing blankly at the sky.

Remembered, Qin Wentian nodded

Heibei slowly spoke to Qin Wentian, who nodded in understanding. He naturally grasped this principle. Bai Qiuxue's first martial destiny star was already renowned in the Kingdom of Chu at the third level of the heavens. If news of his connection to the martial destiny star at the fifth level were to spread, many would seek to recruit him; however, it was likely that there would also be those who would want his life.

Until nightfall, Qin Yao had the maid call him for dinner, but he sent her away directly, choosing instead to practice in the secluded training ground of the back courtyard. Overnight, with the aid of meteorite fragments and the method of tempering, he astonishingly elevated his strength to the peak of the fourth level of body refinement, faintly on the verge of a breakthrough.

Moreover, this star meteorite can be used to enhance the probability of communicating with the martial destiny stars. For instance, Qin Wentian utilizes this star meteorite in his meditation to sense its origin martial destiny star, making it easier for him to connect and communicate with it, thereby condensing the star soul. Consequently, many individuals embark on the path of martial destiny practitioners by utilizing star meteorites.

The immense stellar power contained within that meteorite was completely absorbed by him, demonstrating just how terrifying his sensitivity to stellar energy is

Reflecting on everything that has transpired in recent days, Qin Wentian feels as if it were a dream. Bai Qingsong repays kindness with enmity, Bai Qiuxue is heartless, Qing'er is innocent, and his adoptive father embodies ironclad loyalty. Now, in the blink of an eye, he has become a martial practitioner, condensing the Star Soul. It is time to resolve all of this today

I understand. Qin Wentian still responded respectfully

After a long time, Qin Wentian finally removed the silver needle, opened his eyes, and said softly: "Unless I deliberately use the power of the stars to activate the sealed acupoints in this diagram, the star soul will not reveal its original luster."

Star meteorites are extremely precious, having fallen from the celestial bodies of the Nine Heavens Star River. The energy of the celestial martial stars is immensely powerful and terrifying. Martial practitioners communicate with their minds to gradually absorb the energy within, yet this is merely a drop in the ocean. Therefore, even a small piece of meteorite contains formidable energy.

"The acupuncture techniques I taught you include methods to suppress the color of your star soul. Do you remember?" Hei Bo asked again

The furious dragon gradually emerged from the sea, yet Qin Wentian did not cease; he remained immersed in his cultivation. The sensation brought about by this immense power exhilarated him, igniting his passion.

However, generally speaking, only the formidable powerhouses of the Celestial Realm can open four star gates to communicate with the star souls from the Fourth Heaven. Your ability to directly enter the Fifth Heaven at a young age will bring you numerous advantages, but it will also bring misfortune. Do you understand

Martial arts cultivation is divided into the stages of Body Refinement, Meridian Circulation, and Yuan Mansion, and only then does one step into the Heavenly Gang stage, becoming a Heavenly Gang Master

The first move of the Dragon Fist technique, "Angry Dragon Emerges from the Sea," appears simple at first glance; however, it requires an unwavering momentum, as the angry dragon surges forth from the ocean with an imposing presence. Qin Wentian carefully examined the key points of the technique in the manual and then attempted to practice it in the training area. He unleashed punch after punch, envisioning the force and energy within him as a fierce and unyielding angry dragon bursting forth from the sea.

The Dragon Subduing Fist is indeed a formidable skill, encompassing both the Techniques Chapter and the Divine Ability Chapter, allowing martial practitioners to cultivate from techniques all the way to divine abilities

"Not right, my movements are clumsy, and I lack the coordination depicted in the secret manual." During his cultivation, Qin Wentian reflected on himself, continuously striving for improvement. After a long while, Qin Wentian stopped, closed his eyes, and contemplated. In his mind, he seemed to see a dragon, its form imposing and its power formidable.

Today marks the birthday of Bai Qingsong, and it is also the day when various factions gather at the Bai residence

Good, your first star soul comes from the Fifth Heaven, which is the Heavenly Hammer Star. It will grant you extremely strong offensive and defensive capabilities. Although I will not interfere with your future cultivation, you should still be cautious when condensing your second star soul. If you can restrict the actions of others to assist your attacks, that would be quite beneficial. You may refer to this.

The realm of body refinement is the foundation of martial arts, representing the attainment of physical perfection. In this realm, one cannot cultivate supernatural powers; one can only practice the fundamentals of these powers, the techniques. It is only upon reaching the realm of the wheel pulse that one can cultivate formidable supernatural strength

Qin Wentian nodded slightly, his thoughts stirring. The Star Gate opened, and in an instant, a phantom of the Heavenly Hammer appeared above his head, dazzling beyond compare. Moreover, at the edge of this resplendent Star Soul, a halo of crimson gold shimmered, seemingly symbolizing the nobility of this Star Soul
