Chapter 96: Unlocking new inner strength skills, Di Yun visits
After entering the sixth level, Li Ming could clearly feel that his internal strength had undergone a qualitative change again.
The powerful internal force that had already far surpassed that of the same level became solid again. As the meridians and dantian were expanded, the Xiaoyao Heart Sutra began to operate frantically.
A steady stream of Jingjue Xiaoyao internal force was generated and spread throughout his meridians. After a short while, it gradually slowed down.
At this time, Li Ming's internal strength seemed to have doubled compared to before, and his internal strength was so powerful that it could be said to be terrifying.
Li Ming estimated that, as a fellow Grandmaster, it would be difficult for anyone to catch up with him in terms of the depth of his cultivation.
The benefits that come with it, in addition to the increase in perception, radiation power, and internal strength, Li Ming even feels that the nature of the newly generated internal force has also undergone some changes, giving him a very mysterious feeling.
Li Ming closed his eyes and felt the wonderful effect of the Free and Easy Heart Sutra for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes.
According to the information that emerged in his mind, he realized that after reaching the sixth level of the Xiaoyao Heart Sutra, he actually unlocked new skills.
All over his body, wherever his Xiaoyao internal force spread, it actually had a force of fusion and absorption.
To a certain extent, it can absorb various attributes of true qi from the outside world and transform it for one's own use.
This can not only relieve a lot of the opponent's strength during combat, but can even achieve the effect of fighting and replenishing at the same time, with the more you fight, the stronger your internal strength will be.
This characteristic seems to be similar to the Beiming Divine Art.
Li Ming immediately thought of the Xiaoyao Sect's unique skill, the Beiming Divine Art, which was specifically designed to absorb other people's internal energy and could be called a cheat.
Xiaoyao Heart Sutra is Xiaoyaozi's unique martial art and also the source of other martial arts of Xiaoyao Sect. It is normal for it to have the characteristics of Beiming Divine Art.
However, at present, only some of the characteristics are present, and it is still far from being as domineering as the mature Bei Ming Divine Art.
I just don’t know if there will be any further improvements in the future as my internal strength improves.
Absorbing and transforming external internal energy also takes some time and has a certain limit, it is not infinite.
Otherwise, when you face the enemy again, you don't need to do anything, just stand there and take the beating.
Li Ming calmed down a little and felt the wonder of the sixth level of the Free and Easy Heart Sutra.
After a while, the door creaked.
Li Ming walked out from inside.
"Master?"
Lin Pingzhi, who was still standing at the door diligently and faithfully, felt a little strange.
Didn’t Master say that we were going to practice? How come you came out so soon?
All in all, it probably took less than half an hour.
Lin Pingzhi usually practiced internal skills on the cold jade bed, and would sit there for two or three hours at a time.
But Lin Pingzhi didn't ask any more questions.
The master must have some outstanding qualities, how could he be the same as me?
"Come on, Pingzhi, let's have a sparring match."
Li Ming said to Lin Pingzhi with a smile.
Lin Pingzhi was startled, and then immediately became excited.
Li Ming usually tests their strength and lets his disciples compete with each other, and he rarely fights with them personally.
Lin Pingzhi couldn't help but feel flattered that he actually took the initiative to bring it up today.
Although I know that I can't compare with my master in terms of strength, maybe I can gain new insights by fighting with my master?
Moreover, the master suddenly wanted to practice with me in the middle of the night. Maybe he wanted to give me some special lessons and teach me some special martial arts.
Lin Pingzhi thought of this and nodded heavily.
Soon, the master and the disciple stood still in the courtyard.
"bring it on."
Li Ming simply stood there and gave orders to Lin Pingzhi.
"call!"
After Lin Pingzhi bowed, a palm immediately flew over.
He has been practicing the Red Snake Palm recently and has made some progress, but has not yet progressed to the Poison Palm.
Coupled with his foundation of the Three Nothings and Three Noes, as well as the exquisite internal force of the Jade Girl Heart Sutra that naturally emerged, Lin Pingzhi's palm was extremely powerful.
Even if other people in the innate realm were to face this palm, it would probably be difficult for them to take it lightly.
Not bad!
Li Ming admired in his heart that there was nothing wrong with Lin Pingzhi's attitude and diligence in learning martial arts, otherwise he would not have made such rapid progress.
They approached in the blink of an eye, but Lin Pingzhi suddenly discovered that his master was still standing there, with no intention of dodging or parrying, as if he was stunned. He couldn't help but be surprised.
The palm wind also slowed down.
In the end, when it reached Li Ming, only a little power remained.
The palm force fell lightly on Li Ming.
The moment Lin Pingzhi's palm power came into contact with Li Ming's free and easy internal force that spread throughout his body, it did not cause any conflict or confrontation.
As expected, just as described in the Xiaoyao Heart Sutra, the true energy in Li Ming's body naturally produced an absorbing force, which took on this force.
Lin Pingzhi's palm wind was quickly accepted and transformed by this free and easy true qi. After a circle, the internal force of the Jade Girl Heart Sutra was transformed into the same nature as the Free and Easy Heart Sutra and was immediately absorbed.
Li Ming's internal strength also increased slightly.
The internal force contained in this palm had been drained away, so naturally it had no power at all and posed no threat to Li Ming.
After feeling it for a moment, Li Ming discovered that the internal force of the Jade Girl Heart Sutra that was transformed and absorbed had been completely assimilated without any rejection reaction. It had completely become his own. Only then did he feel completely relieved.
"Master, why are you..."
Lin Pingzhi wanted to ask, but at the same time he felt strange.
He just hit Li Ming with a palm, and although he used less force, it still felt strange.
There was no normal feedback feeling from slapping, but it was like hitting cotton, and all the force contained in it was absorbed.
"How is this going?"
For a moment, Lin Pingzhi thought it was his illusion.
"It's okay, Pingzhi, just use your normal strength and don't worry about hurting your master." Li Ming instructed him.
Lin Pingzhi nodded, and then thought to himself, yes, with my own strength, how could I possibly hurt my master? This was completely unnecessary worry.
"Then the disciple will take action again."
Lin Pingzhi's figure flashed, and he used the Jade Girl Heart Sutra to rush forward, punching and kicking at Li Ming.
Although Lin Pingzhi majored in the Jade Maiden Sword Technique, he had laid a solid foundation in the early stages of the martial arts school, and his boxing and kicking skills were also outstanding.
For a moment, his punches and kicks came like a storm.
Combined with the Jade Girl Heart Sutra's light and swift characteristics, it was almost like several people were attacking at the same time, and it was difficult to see where the punches and kicks were coming from.
Moreover, each strike contained considerable internal strength.
Facing Lin Pingzhi's attack, Li Ming did not dodge or evade as he did before.
In an instant, this series of punches and kicks hit Li Ming's body-protecting true qi.
The true Qi of both sides was surging, and there seemed to be a transparent true Qi protective shield in front of Li Ming.
Dense ripples appeared on it and kept spreading outwards.
Accompanying this is the same continuous absorption and transformation as just now.
The power of his fists and kicks was quickly absorbed, changed its properties, and integrated into the Xiaoyao true qi. It rotated along with the Xiaoyao internal force and became a part of Li Ming's own strength.
The gap between Lin Pingzhi's and his cultivation level was too great, resulting in his attacks being basically blocked by Li Ming simply relying on the absorbing power, and posing no threat at all.
After a round of punches and kicks, Li Ming's internal strength actually increased a little compared to before.
Lin Pingzhi was somewhat reserved at first, but then he found that no matter how hard he tried, the attacks felt the same as before.
It felt soft, as if hitting cotton, and at the same time there was a suction force that absorbed all the threat of his attack.
Lin Ping's attacks became more and more severe, but there was still no effect.
It was not until Lin Pingzhi exerted all his strength and his true energy burst out that he finally barely touched the limit of Li Mingxiaoyao's internal energy absorption.
Some of the true energy leaked out slightly.
Li Ming immediately waved his hand and eliminated them.
Lin Pingzhi then took a step back, breathless, his eyes full of shock.
Although, in his eyes, the master was no different from a celestial being.
But this fighting style was still beyond Lin Pingzhi's cognition. Even if there was a realm gap between the two sides, it shouldn't be like this. He was busy for a long time, but the master was too lazy to even move. He still felt a little frustrated.
"Not bad!"
Li Ming praised Lin Pingzhi for a few words, then asked him to change weapons and attack.
Lin Pingzhi obediently drew his sword.
Facing weapons, Li Ming became more cautious.
The Jade Maiden Sword Technique stabbed at him, and Li Ming resisted with his true energy.
It was just as he had thought. Even the attack from the weapon contained extremely strong internal force.
When both sides come into contact, they can also be absorbed by the Xiaoyao Heart Sutra, but the efficiency is not as direct as fists and feet.
When Lin Pingzhi attacked, he even felt that although he was using all his strength in his sword, after it came into contact with Li Ming, most of the force was suddenly sucked away, making it completely harmless.
He used his internal energy and continued to increase his strength.
The result was that while fighting, he was madly consuming his internal energy, and the speed was far beyond imagination.
Lin Pingzhi was clearly the attacking party, but he felt more tired and became weaker and weaker as the fight went on.
After a while, he began to pant for breath. The endless flow of internal energy caused him to have trouble keeping up with the circulation of his internal energy.
Lin Pingzhi put away his sword and retreated, his chest heaving, his eyes full of disbelief.
The master is indeed unfathomable. This kind of fighting style is something I have never heard of before.
Moreover, after fighting for a while, Lin Pingzhi still couldn't think of a suitable way to defeat the enemy.
He was shocked, but Li Ming was very satisfied.
After trying it, Li Ming has basically mastered this new feature of the Xiaoyao Heart Sutra, and he also has a rough idea of its upper limit.
There is a gap in realm between him and Lin Pingzhi, so he can basically absorb the opponent's attacks by simply absorbing his true Qi.
But if you are dealing with a Grandmaster, there will definitely be overflow, and it won't be so easy.
However, hitting and absorbing at the same time is equivalent to greatly weakening the power of the opponent's attack, while one's own internal strength will slowly increase.
The role of this kind of increase and decrease in actual combat cannot be underestimated.
Li Ming was very satisfied with this effect.
After the competition, Li Ming let Lin Pingzhi go back to rest.
The next day, the martial arts hall started a day of practice as usual.
As soon as Li Ming walked out and took a look, he felt a distinctly different atmosphere.
Normally, the atmosphere in the martial arts hall is already very lively, but today the disciples are obviously more active, and their enthusiasm for practicing martial arts is overwhelming.
"Master!"
Seeing Li Ming appear, the disciples all bowed and greeted him, with uncontrollable enthusiasm in everyone's eyes.
Even though they did not witness yesterday's battle with their own eyes, they heard about the process from others afterwards.
Not to mention other people, even the disciples who lived with them day and night in the martial arts school were frightened by this horrific record.
They couldn't believe that their fellow disciples were so vigorous and strong, and they never expected that the martial arts taught to them by the owner, Professor Li Ming, would be so powerful!
Almost all the core disciples of the martial arts school have practiced the Tiangang Big Dipper Formation. Sometimes they also practice the method of breaking the Five Mountains Sword Technique to accumulate experience and broaden their horizons. However, they usually do not feel its power.
But the results of this actual combat shocked them all.
The many core disciples of the Songshan School, including four innate realm masters, actually died at the hands of a dozen martial arts school disciples!
The horror of this performance shocked even them.
At the same time, they also understood more clearly the high quality of the training they received in the martial arts school!
In just less than a year, it has surpassed the many years of cultivation and accumulation of famous sects like the Songshan Sect.
The dozens of core disciples in the martial arts hall now enjoy the best treatment in the hall. With a lot of resources piled up, except for the group that Li Ming brought with him yesterday, the rest are not far from the acquired realm.
With their senior brothers setting an example and giving them practical combat examples, the remaining disciples were even more enthusiastic.
They have never felt so strong!
They were extremely excited at the thought that as long as they could successfully break through to the acquired realm, and then with the help of the formation taught by the museum owner Li Ming, they would be able to fight against the masters of the innate realm.
The innate realm!
This is a height that they would never have dared to imagine in their entire lives before they joined the martial arts school.
In their perception, which Xiantian Realm warrior is not a person they need to look up to? Walking in the martial arts world, there are countless forces vying to win over.
They never expected that suddenly, they were so close to the person who was once unattainable, it was like a dream.
The feeling that the goal is so close at hand and can be achieved with just a little effort makes them extremely motivated and they can't wait to achieve the same as their second and third brothers.
All this is thanks to the cultivation of the owner!
Therefore, with this kind of intuitive feedback, they practiced martial arts more diligently and were willing to put in their utmost effort.
Not only them, but also the non-core disciples who were arranged in the other hall were equally fanatical.
Because they know that the promotion system in the martial arts school is very transparent. As long as they work hard and perform well, they may stand out in the regular selection and become a core disciple group.
At that time, they will be able to enjoy the same resources and training as the core disciples, and perhaps they will also have the same strength as those core disciples yesterday.
What's more, the martial arts school has only been open for a short time, but it has already achieved such a record. If one continues to practice martial arts with the owner for many years, what heights will he reach in the future?
This can't help but give people endless room for imagination.
The more this happened, the harder everyone worked. Basically, they practiced martial arts consciously without Li Ming's urging.
Li Ming was even surprised to see Qiu Xiaodong in a corner of the martial arts hall.
What Qiu Xiaodong hated most was violence. Even though he was learning martial arts in a martial arts school, he was forced to go there by his father, Mr. Qiu.
In addition, Qiu Xiaodong's own qualifications were mediocre, so he had no motivation at all. Most of the time, he was playing the role of being bullied by the senior sister Mo Xiaobei.
However, perhaps he was infected, or he was really stunned by yesterday's performance, Qiu Xiaodong actually practiced boxing with his senior brothers today, which made Li Ming laugh and cry.
At the same time, Li Ming also heard bursts of noise coming from outside the martial arts hall.
There is no need to guess, you will know that these are the people who are clamoring to become disciples.
The martial arts school had been very popular for a while, and almost every day there were people coming in with silver bills to join.
However, after martial arts schools raised their entry barriers, these phenomena have gradually become less common.
But as yesterday's news spread, the entrance to the martial arts gym suddenly became busy again.
Not only are there people who want to become disciples, but there is also a large group of people who want to try and see if they can pass the martial arts school selection.
Qianming Martial Arts School has always had the rule of accepting disciples with excellent martial arts talent for free. Anyway, there is nothing to lose by coming to try. It is normal if you are not selected. If you are selected, it means that you have accumulated great virtue in the previous life.
As a result, the entrance to the martial arts gym was once again blocked by traffic, and the noise was very annoying.
Fortunately, Li Ming had already set the rules before, so there were just a lot of people and it was lively, but no one dared to cause trouble, and the overall situation was relatively stable.
Li Ming assigned a few more disciples to handle these matters temporarily and then went on to take care of other things.
The quarrel lasted until the evening. This group of warriors were basically rejected and failed to successfully join the martial arts school, so they reluctantly dispersed.
Li Ming asked his disciples to finish their afternoon practice and prepare for dinner.
Watching the disciples gradually disperse, a disciple at the door ran over and reported to Li Ming.
"Master, someone wants to see you."
Li Ming subconsciously wanted to say no.
Throughout the day, there were so many people who wanted to see him, just to build relationships with him.
In the past, he still had the mood to personally entertain the various forces that came to his door, but later his achievements improved and his status and position were no longer what they used to be, so there was no need to be so troublesome. He just asked them to present a list of gifts and entertained them casually.
But the disciple continued.
"That person refused to reveal his identity, but he said that the owner of the museum was his savior and he must thank you in person. He also said that he had something to tell you..."
Savior?
Li Ming took a few steps and looked outside the door, just in time to see a familiar figure.
Although his clothes and hairstyle had changed, Li Ming recognized him at a glance by his timid look. It was Di Yun.
Di Yun was standing at the entrance of the martial arts hall at this time, looking very nervous. He pinched the corner of his clothes with his fingers and looked at the imposing door of the martial arts hall.
To be honest, he had been asking around and his ears were almost callused by the name of Qianming Martial Arts School.
But when he really stood at the door of the martial arts hall, Di Yun, who had never seen the world, was still shocked by the grandeur and liveliness of the hall.
Especially those spirited disciples in the martial arts hall, which made Di Yun feel inferior.
He hesitated for a long time before mustering up the courage to go to Li Ming's house and ask to see him.
However, the more Di Yun thought about it, the more guilty he felt. He felt that after some time had passed, Li Ming might not even remember him.
Just as I was struggling with my thoughts, I looked up and saw Li Ming walking towards me with a smile on his face.
