28 -027 Nayuan Skill

Su Ying?

Gazing at the slender figure who stepped into the room bathed in moonlight, Xiao Ye was momentarily entranced.

At this moment, the girl’s black and lustrous hair was bundled up, revealing a swan-like slender and pale neck, and her curvaceous and petite body wrapped in a pink light veil, combined with her delicate makeup, she resembled an elf under the moonlight.

It had to be said, Su Ying was indeed very beautiful, not at all inferior to Liu Yiyi and Wu Mei’er, and even, she had a genuine ladylike elegance that the former did not possess.

“Mr.

Xiao…” The girl stepped forward with a graceful gait, her breath as fragrant as orchids.

Seeing Xiao Ye’s stunned expression, she couldn’t help but smile triumphantly, her clear eyes showing a hint of slyness that was not easy to detect.

“Cough cough…” Xiao Ye snapped out of it, coughed a few times to clear his throat, and averted his gaze.

“Lady Su, what brings you here so late at night?” Xiao Ye asked somewhat awkwardly.

The girl, with a gentle smile on her face, handed a book to Xiao Ye and said, “This is a Martial Arts Secret Skill created specifically for the Blood Cleansing Pool.

My father has sent me to bring it to you.”

Martial Arts Secret Skill?

Xiao Ye perked up with curiosity and took the book.

“A hundred years ago, a Blood Cleansing Pool emerged to the west of Wutan City.

The water within could aid Martial Artists in the Postnatal Realm to refine their True Qi.

To enable the younger generation to better absorb the energy contained in the pool water, the ancestors of the three great families joined forces to create this secret technique.

If Mr.

Xiao wishes to enter the Blood Cleansing Pool, you must first learn this technique,” the girl spoke softly.

“Then I must thank Lady Su,” Xiao Ye nodded, somewhat excited he sat at the edge of the bed and began flipping through the book.

In the chronicles of Black Dragon Country, there were descriptions of Martial Arts Secret Skills.

Martial Arts Secret Skills are neither Cultivation Techniques nor Combat Techniques, but they possess quite miraculous effects.

Xiao Ye didn’t expect to encounter it so soon.

Seeing Xiao Ye deeply absorbed in the book, the girl clenched her teeth in annoyance, stomping her foot in a huff.

Was her carefully applied makeup really less appealing than a Martial Arts Secret Skill?

“This…” Xiao Ye was at a loss for words.

“Hmph, it’s all your fault!” The girl gave Xiao Ye a glare, then fled in a hurry.

“It was clearly you who threw yourself at me, and you’re blaming me?”

“Dad was right after all, a woman’s heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea, inscrutable!” Xiao Ye shook his head, set aside the distraction, and continued to peruse through the book.

As a fifteen-year-old boy, he naturally did not understand the thoughts of a young girl.

The girl dashed out of the room like a startled rabbit and paused in the courtyard.

She bit her red lips, looking towards Xiao Ye’s room with flickering gaze and a complex expression, a faint blush creeping over her delicate skin.

At last, as if she had thought of something amusing, she chuckled, her eyes curving like crescent moons.

…

Nayuan Skill, that was the name of this Martial Arts Secret Skill.

Xiao Ye read through the book, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.

This secret skill utilized the True Qi within the body to form a Qi Vortex, thereby generating a strong suction force.

“To use the Heavenly Net Technique to execute the Nayuan Skill is an exceptionally advantageous match!” Xiao Ye became excited.

The Heavenly Net Technique was a Postnatal Cultivation Method of the Twelve Meridians, and the twelve meridians could provide him with extremely robust True Qi, which naturally would allow the formation of many Qi Vortexes.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ye felt fortunate that he had decisively switched to cultivating the Heavenly Net Technique.

In hindsight, that decision was incredibly wise.

The Nayuan Skill was only a few hundred words long in the book.

Xiao Ye easily memorized it and then his consciousness submerged into the Time Tower.

Although this Martial Arts Secret Skill seemed simple, mastering it within three days was filled with challenges.

But with the Time Tower at hand, Xiao Ye was not worried at all.

Three days in the First Level of the Time Tower meant one month of time.

In the silent space inside, Xiao Ye sat firm-faced, forming Hand Seals of the Heavenly Net Technique as the True Qi inside his body began its circulation.

At this moment, the key points of the Nayuan Skill flowed through Xiao Ye’s mind.

“Condense!”

Xiao Ye suddenly changed the Hand Seals, and the True Qi within him began to rotate counterclockwise.

A small vortex was about to form, but then it dissipated with a roar.

The first attempt failed.

True Qi is Qi, and Qi is inherently shapeless and formless.

How could it be easy to make True Qi form a Qi Vortex?

After a failed attempt, Xiao Ye was not discouraged.

If it had been so easy to succeed, it wouldn’t be considered a Martial Arts Secret Skill.

Within the First Level of the Time Tower, Xiao Ye kept trying without a moment’s rest.

Time slowly passed by.

After more than a hundred attempts, Xiao Ye felt somewhat worn out, fortunately, he was only there in spirit, or else he would surely be sweating profusely.

Feeling the True Qi within him rotate counterclockwise and form a stable vortex, Xiao Ye smiled happily.

“The cultivation of this Nayuan Skill is indeed quite difficult,” Xiao Ye remarked.

If it weren’t for cultivating in the Time Tower, he would have already spent a day’s time.

“Continue!” Xiao Ye threw himself into cultivation with full enthusiasm.

He was well aware that the energy within the Blood Cleansing Pool was limited, and only by condensing more Qi Vortices could he plunder more energy.

Time was running short for him.

As time went on, the number of Qi Vortices inside Xiao Ye’s body grew more and more.

After practicing in the Time Tower for over twenty days, he had reached the astonishing number of eighteen Qi Vortices.

With eighteen Qi Vortices operating simultaneously, Xiao Ye’s robe fluttered, and a powerful suction emerged from his body as if it could swallow the whole world.

But Xiao Ye felt that this was not yet the extreme limit of what the Heavenly Net Technique could endure.

…

Meanwhile, in the Su Family’s hall.

“Tomorrow is the day the Blood Cleansing Pool opens.

Is brother Xiao Ye still in seclusion?” Su Meng asked Liu Yiyi beside him.

“Yes, Mr.

Xiao must be cultivating the Nayuan Skill,” Liu Yiyi responded, a trace of faint disappointment flashing in her eyes.

Ever since she handed over the Nayuan Skill to Xiao Ye, he had secluded himself, dedicating his entire time to cultivation, even having his meals delivered to his room by someone sent by Su Meng.

“In just three days, no matter how hard he cultivates, it will be difficult for him to master the Nayuan Skill.

Seeing his talent, he should barely be able to condense a Qi Vortex,” Su Meng said, waving his hand indifferently.

Handing the Nayuan Skill to Xiao Ye was merely a formality after all; since Xiao Ye had helped him, he couldn’t let him leave empty-handed.

Hearing Su Meng’s words, Liu Yiyi couldn’t help but feel dissatisfied and asked, “Father, how many Qi Vortices did Gu Chen condense after he practiced the Nayuan Skill?”

Upon hearing this, Su Meng’s face showed a serious expression as he replied, “Gu Chen’s talent is exceptional.

He obtained the Nayuan Skill early on, and now he has condensed eighteen Qi Vortices.”

Eighteen!

Liu Yiyi’s mouth opened slightly, her eyes revealing an unmistakable shock.

“If I remember correctly, cousin Su Hao only condensed thirteen Qi Vortices, right?” Liu Yiyi murmured.

Su Meng nodded and turned his gaze to a young man in the hall.

The young man, about seventeen years old, had dark skin and a somewhat dull expression, as if he was not good at speaking. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

“Su Hao, among the younger generation in Wutan City, your talent is second only to Gu Chen’s.

I don’t expect you to surpass him, but I hope that this time you enter the Blood Cleansing Pool, you will absorb energy with all your might to greatly enhance your cultivation.”

“Whether or not you can achieve good results in the Chongyang Sect’s assessment and gain attention depends on this opportunity,” Su Meng advised.

“Understood.” A determined look flashed across the young man’s face.

…

On the third day, as the first ray of sunlight shone through the window and onto Xiao Ye’s face, his eyes suddenly opened.

“Twenty-five Qi Vortices!” A confident smile appeared on Xiao Ye’s face.

After the crazed month of struggling in the Time Tower, he managed to condense twenty-five Qi Vortices in one go—a further increase was impossible.

Obviously, twenty-five Qi Vortices was already the limit that the Heavenly Net Technique could endure.

Creak!

Xiao Ye opened the door and stepped out, finding Liu Yiyi lingering at the door.

Upon hearing the sound, Liu Yiyi looked up in surprise and said, “Mr.

Xiao.”

“Lady Su, why are you waiting here?” Xiao Ye was taken aback and asked.

“My father and the others are ready to leave.

They asked me to take you there,” Liu Yiyi said.

“Alright, let’s go then.” Xiao Ye nodded and walked shoulder to shoulder with Liu Yiyi.

On the way, Liu Yiyi hesitated for a moment before asking softly, “Mr.

Xiao, how is your cultivation with the Nayuan Skill coming along?”

“It’s alright,” Xiao Ye answered indifferently.

Liu Yiyi was taken aback, thinking that Xiao Ye was too proud to give a vague answer to deflect the question.

With this thought, Liu Yiyi didn’t pursue the topic further but instead smiled and changed the subject.

The sunlight illuminated the land, and Wutan City began to buzz with noise.

In the streets and alleyways, everyone was talking about today’s opening of the Blood Cleansing Pool.

Under the instigation of those with vested interests, the news of Xiao Ye representing the Su Family in battle and the agreement to exchange three moves with Gu Chen spread incredibly fast, instantly igniting people’s passion and curiosity.

That Xiao Ye, an unknown and unnamed person, dared to challenge Gu Chen, the top talent of Wutan City—wasn’t this seeking death?

Some martial artists excited to watch the spectacle headed towards the outskirts of the city where the Blood Cleansing Pool was located early in the morning.

The western part of the city could be described as a vast wasteland, which would have been deserted if not for the Blood Cleansing Pool, a rare anomaly that had formed there.

By the time Xiao Ye arrived at the western edge of the city with the Xiao Family’s entourage, the place was already packed with martial artists looking for excitement.

The crowd was so dense that, at a quick estimate, there were more than a thousand people.

In the center stood two groups of people.

Leading one group was a middle-aged man with a cold smile on his face, his thin lips seemingly reminding everyone of the man’s merciless nature.

Gu Chen and Gu Yang stood to the left and right of this middle-aged man, respectively.

Seeing this, Xiao Ye immediately realized that this middle-aged man must be the Family Head of the Ancient Family, Gu Chuqiu.

As the Su Family members approached, Gu Chen, dressed in a black robe, stepped forward, his powerful aura enveloping the air as he stared coldly at Xiao Ye in the crowd.

“Kid, come out and meet your end.

No one can save you today!”
