Chapter 97: The Power of Soft Water
Gu Du Xing searched through all the vocabulary in his mind, only to find that there wasn't a single word that could describe Chu Yang! He had already transcended the category of "human"!
The higher the martial artist's rank, the harder it gets! Each major rank is divided into nine levels; within each level, there are upper, middle and lower grades. From ancient times to the present, who isn't advancing step by step, accumulating bit by bit, then breaking through?
Warriors... it's not uncommon for them to rise several ranks after taking a spiritual medicine! But without taking the medicine, they can still cultivate and advance; the fastest advancing warrior in history is the legendary Unparalleled Blade, Liu Yongxiang, a living legend! In his youth, he broke through the warrior ranks, setting a record of advancing one rank every three days!
No one can break it from ancient times to the present!
But today, Gu Du Xing personally witnessed a freak who broke through the first rank in just a short moment! Witnessed the miracle with his own eyes!
Gu Du Xing let out a low moan in his throat, and for a moment felt extremely humiliated...
Ah, heavens, it's not over yet... Gu Du Xing's eyes widened again as he felt a slight fluctuation in Chu Yang's internal energy...
I passed the fifth rank of Bushi!
Even a thunderstorm on a sunny day can't describe how Gu Du Xing feels at this moment, he's already numb!
The samurai's fifth rank has risen...
The warrior has reached the pinnacle of the fifth rank...
It's over...
Sixth rank...
Ahh…… Heaven and earth, it's finally stopped. If it hadn't stopped, I would have vomited blood...... It stopped at the sixth-grade peak! Gu Du Xing knocked his head on the ground, silently praying: Being with this pervert is too damaging to one's self-esteem!
I... I'm also a genius ah ah ah... But compared to others, me me me... I'd rather just slit my throat with a knife...
In less than two hours, he had risen by two levels! Gu Du Xing felt as if he had just experienced an unbelievable, absurd and unimaginable dream.
Chu Yang finally woke up from that wonderful state.
Almost as soon as he woke up, Chu Yang's heart was filled with the voice of Jiu Jie Sword: "You finally grasped the power of heaven and earth for once!" This voice was full of relief.
"What is this Heavenly Power?" Chu Yang was perplexed: "Is this really the Heavenly Power?"
"This is still far from the true power of heaven and earth. This is a very insignificant kind, which you have come to realize because you are by the lake, naturally it is the soft water power of the lake. It's also a coincidence that in your previous life, you were obsessed with hatred and couldn't feel anything. Who would have thought that this life you would realize one so early."
"Oh?"
"Water, has both tangible and intangible power; the tangible power includes the force of raging seas, the destructive power of mountain floods, the nourishing power of heavenly intention, and the violent power of heavenly intention. What you have grasped is the gentle power within the tangible power."
"What's the use of this power?"
"Softness overcomes hardness." The voice said: "How to apply it depends on yourself. Nine calamities and nine heavy heavens, no power can't be used."
"Oh, so that means mountains and rivers, oceans and lakes, forests and lands, winds and thunders, rains and snows, clouds and fogs, stars and constellations are all different powers?" Chu Yang asked thoughtfully.
"It can't be said. If you can understand, it's your good fortune; if you can't understand, no matter what I say, you still won't understand! This is fate... and also your wisdom." The voice gradually faded away, slowly disappearing from sight.
"So your existence isn't pointing me towards obtaining this opportunity?" Chu Yang asked.
The voice did not respond, as if it had already fallen asleep.
But Chu Yang had already understood; the Nine Tribulations Sword was not omnipotent! To reach the pinnacle, one still had to rely on oneself! The Nine Tribulations Sword and the Nine Heavens Nine Layers Heaven God Technique were both extraordinary, but they were not himself.
Only when your own efforts are in place will the Jiuxing Sword give you suitable hints. If your own efforts are not enough, then even if you master the number one divine technique under heaven, you would still be a useless person!
Chu Yang was deep in thought. However, this little reminder was enough! Because this little reminder opened up a vast and boundless world of martial arts for Chu Yang!
Originally, Chu Yang's cultivation could only see one road. But now, what he can see is the vast sky and earth, the universe!
He let out a comfortable sigh, and Chu Yang stood up, only to feel his entire body's joints crackling loudly. Looking up at the sky, Chu Yang was somewhat astonished: although he had only sat for less than two hours, why did he have this feeling? He shouldn't be tired, but this cracking sound in his joints was usually something that happened after sitting for a whole night.
However, usually after practicing qigong for a night and feeling this kind of movement, I often feel somewhat tired. But today was incredibly relaxing, as if some kind of lock had been opened, my whole body felt light and airy, like I was about to fly away, it didn't feel like I had practiced qigong for a night, but rather had a deep sleep for a night...
He tried to lift his spirits, and the energy in his dantian suddenly burst forth with a whoosh, circulating rapidly through his meridians. Chu Yang suddenly felt something was off, hastily ran another cycle of heavenly circulation, and unknowingly opened up two apertures that his primordial energy normally couldn't reach: this time they were unobstructed!
It actually broke through without realizing it?
Chu Yang couldn't help but get extremely excited: Could it be that he had only practiced for these two hours, and yet his cultivation had already increased by two levels? This...this was just too incredible!
He was secretly pleased, when suddenly a face appeared in front of him. Opening his eyes, he saw that Gu Du Xing's face was haggard, with bloodshot eyes staring fiercely at him. His expression was ferocious, completely unlike his usual cold and stiff zombie-like face!
"Hey, you... what's going on?" Chu Yang was very surprised.
"What's going on?!" Gu Du Xing gritted his teeth and let out a low growl: "You tell me what's going on!"
Chu Yang scratched his head, and Zhang Er's monk couldn't figure it out, puzzled and said: "What's going on?"
Gu Du Xing went mad and jumped up, roaring: "How did you do it?"
"How did you manage that?" Chu Yang was bewildered.
"Ah, ah, ah... Ah, good!" Gu Du Xing stood up, wildly spinning around in a circle, then lowered his head again, with the tip of his nose almost touching Chu Yang's: "You, you... will you say or not? How did you do it?! Ah?! Two hours, two ranks! Waaaah..."
Gu Du Xing almost cried out: This guy is still pretending to be stupid!
"Ah, you're talking about this?" Chu Yang innocently scratched his head: "To be honest, I don't even know myself; I woke up this morning and found that I had leveled up two levels, and was still rejoicing..."
You don't know either? Secretly delighted? Gu Du Xing only felt that the golden stars in front of him were flashing wildly, and he directly collapsed on the lake shore. He groaned twice, rolled his eyes a few times, stomped his feet, took two deep breaths, and tried to suppress the surging blood and energy. Only then did he think, perhaps the person involved really didn't know about this kind of thing.
Especially for a novice like Chuyang who is still at the warrior level, it's even more impossible to know. This is a great opportunity! And all of this can only happen unknowingly. If Chuyang had any feeling and clearly knew... then such a thing would not have happened!
"I really don't know!" Chu Yang innocently said: "It's just that after practicing some skills, I leveled up..."
