Purple Mist Dao Master-Chapter 145 - 126: Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound! Huff Puff Qi!

Chapter 145: Chapter 126: Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound! Huff Puff Qi!

"The third path is the ’Secret Method Breaking Limit’."

Shao Yancong did not keep people in suspense and directly explained to Yan Chuan, "Martial Arts Practitioners practice diligently, their Qi-Blood constantly growing, ultimately reaching a limit. At this point, there are two ’secret methods’ to break the limit—"

"Secret Method Breaking Limit?"

"There are two types of secret methods?"

Yan Chuan focused intently, listening carefully.

Shao Yancong, with a gentle voice, continued, "The first, with boxing reaching a super divine state and powerful Inner Strength, you can cultivate the ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound.’ The resonating Inner Strength tempers the sinew, bone, skin, and membrane, driving the Qi-Blood, and with long-term practice, breaking the limit comes naturally. It’s the skill of ’water to channel.’"

Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound!

The ultimate in boxing!

Through research, the Martial Artists of the Mountain and Sea Realm found that the bodies of tigers and leopards always emit a continuous humming sound, making their bones particularly strong. Tiger bones, tiger bones, these are the most nourishing things.

And as Leichu Mountain springs, lightning is born when the universe first opened. In the beginning, there was no life in the universe; then, with thunder and lightning in the sky, life appeared.

The distant rumble of thunder in the sky is long and profound in meaning.

People learn the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound, using the sound to resonate and strengthen the body, which is fundamental to body transformation.

By then, mastering this method, one can use sound to temper the ’sinew, bone, skin, and membrane,’ reaching the hidden areas inaccessible even to boxing and Inner Strength, deeply tempering and excavating!

Then—

A stronger body!

Stronger sinew, bone, skin, and membrane!

Accommodating stronger Qi-Blood!

’Break the limit of Qi-Blood,’ naturally a matter of course!

Of course, although it’s said to be ’a matter of course,’ doing so is exceedingly difficult. Even among Limit Extreme Martial Artists, whether it is Huo Zhen or Cheng Fengxiao, leaving aside whether they have the ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound’ secret method or not, even if they have it, their boxing realm is still a far cry from mastering the ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound,’ and further, how much effort would it take to master it and temper the body?

What’s more daunting is that even after much effort, it still might not be possible to master it.

So!

This limit-breaking method is divided by whether the ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound’ is mastered or not—

Master it, and the limit-breaking is nearly guaranteed!

If not mastered—

Then first master it!

"However, the difficulty of mastering the ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound’ is not necessarily lower than that of ’Treasure Breakthrough’ or ’Sudden Enlightenment Breakthrough’."

"Out of ten people, at least nine find it hard to succeed!"

Shao Yancong sighed.

He also attempted to study the ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound,’ but in the end, he gave up.

This method is too difficult!

While breaking through makes one strongest, breaking limits most thoroughly, and growing fastest thereafter, if you are fixated on this and still can’t master it when your Qi-Blood declines unstoppably, it would be too late to turn back and pursue ’Treasure Breakthrough’ or ’Sudden Enlightenment Breakthrough.’

Time!

Time and tide wait for no man!

...

"Time waits for no one!"

Shao Yancong sighed, regretting not breaking limits with ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound.’ He shook his head, trying not to think about it, and before Yan Chuan could ask more, he continued introducing to Yan Chuan: "The first secret method is called ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound.’ The second secret method is called ’Heng Ha Qi.’"

Heng Ha Qi!

Also known as ’Heng Ha Er Yin’!

This secret method also relies on the resonance of ’sound.’

But, unlike ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound’—

"The ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound’ is based on boxing and Inner Strength, resonating and tempering the ’sinew, bone, skin, and membrane’!"

"The ’Heng Ha Qi,’ however, is based on Inner Strength and Inner Power—at the peak of Inner Strength, when Inner Power is full, it resonates from the meridians, through the mouth and nose, producing ’Heng Ha’ sounds. This ’two sounds,’ ’two qi,’ can stabilize the body’s meridians, cleanse the five internal organs and six hollow organs. With stable meridians and robust organs, Qi-Blood will naturally be powerful with solid roots and break the limit continuously!"

The extreme state of boxing, Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound!

The extreme state of Inner Strength, Heng Ha Qi!

"Martial arts is like climbing a mountain, though through different paths, the destination is the summit!"

Boxing!

Inner Power!

One trains strength to temper sinew and bone!

One trains qi to nourish the organs!

Two different routes that meet at the limit-breaking point.

Ultimately.

Both strive for the peak!

...

"I see!"

Yan Chuan gained full insight.

There are three methods to break the limit—

The first is ’Treasure Breakthrough.’

The second is ’Sudden Enlightenment Breakthrough.’

The third is ’Secret Method Breaking Limit.’

’Treasure Breakthrough’ values background!

’Sudden Enlightenment Breakthrough’ emphasizes luck!

’Secret Method Breaking Limit’ relies solely on strength!

Among them.

’Secret Method Breaking Limit’ is further divided into ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound’ and ’Heng Ha Qi.’

For boxing practitioners, Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound!

For qi practitioners, Heng Ha Qi!

Clear insight!

Full insight!

Then.

Now.

If seeking ’Treasure Breakthrough,’ with ten jin of ’Dragon Blood,’ Yan Chuan could attempt it soon.

If seeking ’Secret Method Breaking Limit,’ Yan Chuan lacks the specific methods for ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound’ and ’Heng Ha Qi’!

"These two secret methods are available in the Academy."

"But after all, they originated from there and have some discrepancies with our Great Yan boxing and Inner Power system, causing a barrier, making them extremely hard to master."

"If you don’t try, you’ll surely be dissatisfied."

"But let me say this first, if you still can’t master it within one or two years, then switch to another method early!"

Shao Yancong led Yan Chuan into the Hidden Scripture Pavilion and pointed to the two rows of bookshelves on the top floor, "The left row is the ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound.’ The right row is the ’Heng Ha Qi.’ Both methods were selected from the secret manuals of that place, based on corresponding boxing and Inner Strength and respective Bloodlines. People from there find it much easier to master these methods, as they are more compatible. Without the corresponding Bloodlines, whether forcing oneself to cultivate Inner Strength and boxing techniques or cultivating ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound’ and ’Heng Ha Qi’ from scratch, the difficulty is higher, extremely high."

"Many scholars of insight in Great Yan are aware of this fact, striving to reduce the difficulty of ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound’ and ’Heng Ha Qi,’ engaging in relentless research."

"For example, Brother Jiang from Cangwu Department in Guangling City is dedicated to integrating the Hundred Schools Boxing Skill, aiming to meld the boxing skills of Guangling County into one, incorporating ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound’ into this boxing skill, hoping to significantly reduce the difficulty of learning ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound.’

"His ambition is not small!"

"Unfortunately, the difficulty is immense, and there’s still no hope in sight!"

I see!

Yan Chuan was moved.

The reason Jiang Bianliu was so dedicated to creating ’Guangling Fist’ was indeed for the ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound’!

Unexpected.

But upon further thought, it was logical.

For someone like Jiang Bianliu, unless it’s for ’break the limit’ and ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound,’ few things would have engaged him fully for eight years.

"Brother Jiang’s ’Guangling Fist.’

"Brother Zhou’s ’Taikang Fist.’

"Throughout the states and counties of the land, countless people are striving to overcome ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound’ and ’Heng Ha Qi.’

"What we can do is find more relevant secret manuals for them, more ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound Method’ and ’Heng Ha Qi Method,’ for their reference and study. And cultivate more outstanding disciples, either delve into the two methods’ research or participate in the development over there, providing continuous successors."

"It might be in one or two years."

"Or maybe in ten or eight years."

"I believe that one day, we will have our own ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound,’ our own ’Heng Ha Qi,’ our own pure ’break the limit method’!"

Shao Yancong was full of confidence about the future.

"It will happen for sure!"

Yan Chuan thought the same.

But he wasn’t pinning his hopes on others, not expecting Guangling’s Jiang Bianliu, or Taikang’s Zhou Jianxiong. He had faith in himself!

"In Xingyi Boxing, there should and must be ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound’!"

"In Mixed Element Skill, there should and must be ’Heng Ha Qi’!"

Boxing!

Inner Strength!

As long as Yan Chuan reviews the relevant secret manuals from the Mountain and Sea Realm, and once he understands the Mountain and Sea Realm’s ’Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound Method’ and ’Heng Ha Qi Method,’ utilizing the Derivation Skill, he can easily incorporate them into ’Xingyi Boxing,’ into ’Mixed Element Skill.’

By then.

One boxing technique!

One Inner Strength technique!

Will be the supreme method directly towards breaking the limit!

And Yan Chuan, who possesses these two Martial Arts—

"Establishing a School!"

"Is just a matter of course!"

...

"Establishing a School!"

"This is indeed a path!"

After Shao Yancong and Zhao Ye left, Yan Chuan stayed in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion alone, looking at the bookshelves on both sides, not in a hurry to read, thinking about the road ahead.

Currently, his cultivation and research are almost entirely carried out around ’Mutual Teaching and Learning’—

In Martial Arts Hall teaching disciples!

Running an Advanced Study Hall!

Participating in the Martial Arts Competition!

Guest Professor!

These are all ways to maximize the use of ’Mutual Teaching and Learning.’

By using the Martial Arts Hall!

By using the Advanced Study Hall!

By using the Martial Arts Competition!

Yan Chuan did indeed grow rapidly. His boxing skills advanced by leaps and bounds. From July to now, December is about to arrive, in just five months in total, Yan Chuan had grown from an ordinary Fifth-class Research Student of the academy into a renowned Limit Extreme Master in Guangling and Taikang counties!

Going further!

Is breaking the limit!

And at this time—

"Whether it’s the Martial Arts Hall."

"Or the Advanced Study Hall."

"Even if there’s another Martial Arts Competition!"

"Because I’m currently at a different level, these people’s thoughts and feedback will no longer be as helpful to me as before."

Taikang Academy is the same.

The first experience is always beautiful and leaves endless aftertaste.

Afterward, it feels mediocre, somewhat bland and flavorless.

Their feedback, the first time was most refreshing and most helpful to Yan Chuan, but as it comes to the second and third times, and repeatedly after, the new things Yan Chuan can gain decrease, naturally slowing improvement.

Of course, with the help of ’Mutual Teaching and Learning,’ Yan Chuan will still have gains.

Therefore—

"I have to keep going to the Martial Arts Hall."

"I still have to participate in the Martial Arts Competition."

"Being a Guest Professor is a new track; I can’t slack off."

"I can no longer run the Advanced Study Hall, but can I change my approach—"

The Advanced Study Hall!

Initially, it served disciples from Guangling Academy who were aspiring to the graduate entrance examination, and they were at a lower level. In August and September, it was quite helpful to Yan Chuan, and it was from these disciples that Yan Chuan initially acquired the Eighteen Widespread Boxing Techniques of Guangling Academy, eventually displaying great might in the Martial Arts Competition and creating the ’Flowers Mistake Fist.’

Now, Yan Chuan no longer looks up to those ordinary disciples aspiring to the graduate entrance examination.

However—

...
