Chapter 248 Dragon among men
Chapter 248 Dragon among men
Li Yuan?
There was a great excitement in front of the dragon stele.
"Ninety-seven..."
"How come it's so fast?"
Gong Jiuchuan lowered his brows and looked at Yu Xuanji. Even though they were both shocked.
At the Dragon and Tiger Banquet, both of them witnessed Li Yuan quickly defeating Yan Xiong, and his martial arts skills were no less than those of the elite disciples of the Dragon and Tiger inner sect.
However, there are many elite members in the inner sect of Longhu, and there are countless young geniuses like Li Yuan from various states and counties. According to the two's estimation, to be included in the list of over 200 is already a sign of extraordinary talent.
Who would have thought that he had entered the top 100 of the Dragon Ranking in less than half a year, and had not yet received a true disciple to teach him the unique skills? !
"In just over four months, we've made it into the top 100!"
"How on earth did he do it? He just worked hard every day, and his ranking rose steadily. He could even break into the top 100 without fighting anyone?"
"He hasn't opened his meridians yet..."
……
The group of Dragon and Tiger disciples under the Dragon Stele were talking about it, unable to hide their shock and confusion.
The arrival of Gong Jiuchuan and the other man did not attract the attention of other people, but from the discussions of the crowd, they learned about what had happened during this period.
"Five months ago, when Li Yuan entered the sect and read the stone plaque of the founder, a blue dragon appeared. The founder's will descended and taught him the Dragon Zen Diamond Sutra?"
"More than four months ago, he was forging iron on Chungang Peak, repairing weapons for his fellow disciples, and successively forged two top-grade famous weapons and four famous swords?"
"These past few days, his ranking has changed three times a day, from over 140th place to the top 100?!"
Listening to everyone's discussions, Gong Jiuchuan's expression changed several times. He didn't expect that he missed such a big event just because he returned to the sect half a year late.
"The shadow of the blue dragon appears!"
Yu Xuanji felt that the entire first half of her life was not as shocking as today.
The previous person who caused the blue dragon to appear is now the number one true disciple, Longhu Daozi, the invincible Long Xinglie in Jiazi.
The next person above him is Long Xixiang, and above that is the leader of Humen, Nie Xianshan, and above that is the contemporary Taoist master, Long Yingchan.
The fifth person in two hundred years?
The master and the disciple looked at each other and were about to go to Chungang Gate to look for him when they heard a cry of surprise from behind:
"Again, it's going to change again!"
what?
Gong Jiuchuan looked back and saw that on the Dragon Ranking, Li Yuan's name was flickering and flashing with a faint light. After a few moments, it jumped from the 97th place to the 80th.
Seventy…sixty, and finally, stabilized at fifty-sixth place.
Jumping straight from ninety-seven to fifty-six?!
Suddenly, it jumped by forty-one places? !
The Dragon Monument suddenly became quiet, and the other Dragon and Tiger disciples who were passing by were all stunned and horrified when they saw this scene.
"How can it be?!"
Yu Xuanji was dumbfounded and almost thought she had guessed wrong.
She rubbed her eyes subconsciously, and looked again. Every word on the Dragon List was as bright as a sword and shining brightly. There was no way she could have made a mistake.
"Dragon Ranking No. 56, Li Yuan, Great Accomplishment of Changing Form!"
He had achieved great success in changing his form and had made it into the ranks of those who had achieved great success in opening up the meridians. More than ten elite inner sect disciples who had achieved great success in opening up the meridians were suppressed below!
"impossible!"
The momentary silence was broken by a loud scream.
When everyone came back to their senses, they saw Wang Xuanying on the mountain road, looking horrified. He swayed and rushed under the dragon stele. Seeing that his ranking had dropped, his heart immediately sank to the bottom.
When the shadow of the blue dragon appeared in front of the mountain gate, he felt great regret in his heart, and he also predicted that this person would surpass him in martial arts in the future.
But how long has it been...
"It's fake, right? How is this possible?"
"He, he is still at the stage of Yixing Dacheng, and his meridians are not yet open. How, how..."
"In four months, we have won nearly a hundred places!"
But at this moment, no one paid attention to the distraught Wang Xuanying. Everyone was in an uproar, and all kinds of discussions were heard.
"It seems that this was the case with Senior Brother back then?"
Some people looked towards the top of the dragon stele, but the discussions did not subside, but became louder. Disciples who heard the noise were still flocking here from all over the mountain path.
“This, this… Master, he didn’t achieve the Meridian Opening Cultivation. No, even if he did, he shouldn’t have jumped so much in the rankings at once…”
Yu Xuanji was so shocked that she even stuttered.
She had joined the Dragon and Tiger Temple since she was born, and had seen countless geniuses over the past twenty or thirty years, not to mention geniuses born in dragon form, giant dragon form, and even geniuses in the thirteen forms of spiritual dragons.
But apart from the rumors, this was the first time she saw someone's ranking rise so dramatically.
The forty people he surpassed in an instant all had excellent talents and physiques, and they were all talented disciples who had been famous in the temple for more than twenty to thirty years!
"This situation..."
Gong Jiuchuan raised his white eyebrows, showing his excitement.
He had seen a similar scene decades ago, and it was even more terrifying than today.
Long Xinglie jumped from the ninety-ninth place to the twenty-seventh place, causing a sensation in the entire Longhu Temple, but no one knows the reason to this day.
All we know is that when Long Xinglie walked out of the secret realm, he had mastered the three unique skills of the Eight Divine Kings Sutra, the Great Power Heavenly Dragon Form, and the Dragon Zen Vajra Sutra.
"go!"
Yu Xuanji wanted to ask more questions, but Gong Jiuchuan was counting the ground under his feet and had already descended towards the Thirteen Peaks of the Hun Tian like a hawk.
When Yu Xuanji quickly caught up, the many disciples under the dragon stele came back to their senses from the huge shock and rushed towards the direction of Chungang Peak.
"This this……"
Under the dragon stele, Wang Xuanying came to his senses and felt his hands and feet cold. How could he have thought that he would offend such a person just for some petty gains?
"Apologize...Yes, apologize!"
Wang Xuanying was startled and took a few steps towards the Huntian Peak, then suddenly retreated and wanted to run back to his own residence.
"That was a close call. I almost went there empty-handed..."
……
Longyin Peak, halfway up the mountain.
In a manor located on the edge of a cliff, Chu Xuankong stood with his hands behind his back, overlooking the rolling sea of clouds in the mountains, staring at the clouds rolling and unrolling, the wind blowing and falling. "How difficult is it to shape the world?"
After a long time, he sighed and rubbed his sore eyes:
"He can use dragon, tiger, wind and cloud as the main elements, and can also control hundreds of forms. He is the master of Taoism and is truly a celestial being!"
Among all forms, ordinary beasts are the easiest, followed by spiritual beasts, but there are also traces to follow. Only the form of heaven and earth requires one to realize it on one's own, even if one has the martial arts experience of predecessors.
However, to combine all the shapes into one and condense the wind, tiger, cloud and dragon was so difficult that just thinking about it made him feel heavy in his heart.
"Talent, talent..."
Looking at the dispersing wind and clouds, Chu Xuankong sighed in his heart.
He is less than a hundred years old, but he has already achieved great success. He considers himself to be a talented person, but compared to those people, he still pales in comparison.
It took Long Xinglie only 29 years to fully understand the two forms of wind and cloud that had troubled him for more than 70 years, while it only took Taoist master Long Yingchan 11 years.
"Li Yue, Long Xinglie, Dou Yue, Xin Wenhua, Shan Hong, and Gong Jiuchuan."
Chu Xuankong was in a complicated mood, and it took a long time for him to calm down, and he gradually let go of his resentment:
"Blood and soul are yang, and spirit and soul are yin. When the soul and spirit merge, and the spirit and body interact, this is the path to enlightenment, also known as yin and yang... Perhaps, it's time to let go of my obsession."
When he thought of this, he felt lightened up in his heart. Although he was not at the peak of his ability, he still had the potential to become a master.
"Ok?"
At this time, there were footsteps sounds, quite chaotic.
Chu Xuankong frowned slightly, but saw his own disciple running towards him in a panic: "Why are you so panicked?"
While scolding, he subconsciously fiddled with the copper coins in his sleeve, and his expression suddenly froze.
"Master, there's something wrong with the Dragon Monument. Li Yuan has jumped from outside the top 100 to the top 56!"
"what?!"
……
……
In the small courtyard in the bamboo forest, the autumn wind blows gently, blowing the yellow leaves.
The little tiger lying on the treetop picked up a yellow leaf and dropped it towards Li Yuan who was sitting cross-legged under the tree. But before he could get close, he was shattered into pieces by an invisible force.
In the corner, the little mouse poked its head out of the hole, staring at the man and the cat with its small green eyes, sometimes lying down and sometimes standing up to punch.
"call!"
Under the old tree, beads of sweat had not yet fallen from Li Yuan's body, and his muscles and bones occasionally made a "cracking" sound, and his bones were changing.
Since entering the Dragon and Tiger Temple, Li Yuan has regained his previous state in the Divine Weapon Valley. He works as a blacksmith, practices martial arts, and improves his constitution every day, leaving all the chores to Liu Zheng, Wang Peiyao and others.
It seems that he travels back and forth between the mountains every day, but in fact he is in seclusion.
After the Weapon Control Talisman was promoted to the seventh level, the number of places increased, the time for changing the palm control became shorter, and Li Yuan became more relaxed in changing the palm control. With the blessing of various palm control combinations, he made great progress in hammer technique, sword technique, horizontal training and visualization.
After several changes of bones, now, thirty-nine forms have been collected.
Wow~
Li Yuan closed his eyes. His powerful perception allowed him to hear the rhythm of his own organs. The blood was surging and boiling, moving along a clearly visible trajectory.
Qi, blood and internal energy are consumed crazily to supply the changes in the bones.
"Thirteen is the Great Dragon. Every time you reach this number, your bones will transform..."
When he had collected all twenty-six forms, Li Yuan had had a similar feeling, but without any evidence, he could not be sure. But now he can naturally be sure.
The changes in the body were very drastic, but Li Yuan was very calm. He swallowed the pills one by one in order to support the changes in his bones.
At the same time, in my mind, I practice visualization, doing two things at once.
Woohoo!
In the place of spiritual light, visualize the spiritual self dancing with a hammer, like an angry ancient elephant swinging its trunk. This is the ancient elephant six-shaped hammer.
This middle-level hammer technique, which is known for being difficult to learn and master, has been pushed to the threshold of great perfection by Li Yuan, even though there is no fundamental diagram to master it.
Just one step away from adding six more shapes!
"Forty-five forms... It took Old Han more than seventy years to complete the form. I have completed it now, but the quality is a little lacking."
After so many changes to his bones, Li Yuan could barely endure the pain, and did not pound the ground in agony like before.
But soon, his expression changed.
As the Ancient Elephant Six-Shaped Hammer broke through to perfection, an extremely intense pain surged out from between the bones.
"Shouldn't the martial arts I have cultivated through hard work gradually change as my bones and muscles change?"
Li Yuan groaned, beads of sweat rolling down his head. Under the combined pain of the two, he couldn't hold on for long before he couldn't help but smash his hammer to the ground.
boom!
Like a heavy hammer hitting a drum, the two stone tables in the yard trembled, and the little tiger cubs on the big tree were awakened. They looked at Li Yuan with an unfriendly face, and a hint of surprise rose in their hearts.
“I still haven’t gotten used to it.”
Li Yuan nearly broke his teeth, and with the help of items such as the Five-Step Spirit Snake Belt to strengthen his spirit, he was able to stabilize his visualization of his spiritual self.
Then, swords and knives emerged and pierced through the visualized spirit self.
He calmed down and practiced the Ten Thousand Blades Spirit Dragon Body. Even after four months, he still hadn't mastered this unique skill, but he was not far behind.
"All in one go!"
Beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down Li Yuan, who was tortured by pain and numbness. He gritted his teeth and endured it. He didn't know how long it had been, he just felt his body lighten, and all the pain disappeared.
A feeling of ecstasy came over me, and for a moment I even forgot where I was.
"The Ten Thousand Blades Spirit Dragon Body has also reached mastery!"
Li Yuan was filled with joy, but before he could experience the changes in himself after mastering the forty-five forms and the unique horizontal training, a faint buzzing sound exploded in his ears.
"This is?"
Li Yuan's heart was shocked, and he felt as if thick fog suddenly emerged around him. In a trance, he saw two stone tablets.
One color is dark green like a dragon, and the other color is silvery white like a tiger.
"Dragon monument, tiger monument?"
Li Yuan came back to his senses and found that the tiger stele had disappeared in the mist. Then, the dragon stele gradually became clearer in his sight.
"Li Yuan, fifty-sixth on the Dragon Ranking, has mastered the Form Changing Technique, is twenty years old, and has a natural talent that makes him a rare talent among men!"
"You can enter the health furnace!"
