Chapter 100 - The Palm Techniques Success
Zhang Ruochen was in a good mood, because he had reached the Black Realm’s Advanced Stage and improved his cultivation greatly.
As soon as the day was breaking, he visited Black No.1 and asked Duanmu Xingling to fight against him as a way to improve his palm technique.
As his palm technique improved, Zhang Ruochen felt he was not far away from the success of “Dragon Shape and Elephant Shadow”. He just needed an opportunity to break through it. This feeling was wonderful.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t rashly break into Black No.1. He stood outside and channeled Genuine Qi into his voice. “Senior sister, I want to practice palm technique with you again. Are you in there?”
A moment later, Duanmu Xingling opened up the door and stared at Zhang Ruochen with a drowsy look. “Don’t you sleep?”
Of course, warriors were also normal people who needed to rest but they just needed less. A Black Realm Warrior only needed two hours of sleep to recover energy.
As for Zhang Ruochen, he had powerful Spiritual Power, so it was enough for him to rest for an hour and he used the remaining hours to practice. Even if he had not slept for three days and nights, he maintained a good mental state.
Zhang Ruochen laughed apologetically and said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to disturb you. In that case, I’ll visit you at noon!”
“Well, anyway, I’ve rested enough. Let’s start now so that I can avoid your bother at noon. Did you have progress in your palm technique?”
Duanmu Xingling led him into the square of Dragon Martial Temple, stood upright with her one hand on her back and crooked her finger to beckon him, “Today, we fight in this place! I will still use one hand and you can attack me with all your power.”
Zhang Ruochen stared at Duanmu Xingling, and nodded softly. He was very grateful to this beautiful sister who was only 13 or 14 years old. She is a Warrior of Division Profound. How can the average person find her to practice?
He was able to make so much progress because Duanmu Xingling helped him a lot.
“Awoo!”
Zhang Ruochen roared and circulated his Genuine Qi. Finally, a stream of blood flowed from his pores and condensed into a faint blood column soaring into the sky.
“Soaring Animal Spirits, he reached the Black Realm’s Advanced Stage so soon!” Duanmu Xingling blinked fluttering her eyelashes, and she was shocked by his rapid improvement.
For just five days, Zhang Ruochen had made huge progress. Duanmu Xingling could easily see that every day was a new step forward for his cultivation.
It’s unbelievable that he could make such a huge advance at such a high speed, even if he had enough practice resources.
The rattling bones and muscles sounded like a dragon’s cry as well as an elephant’s roar. The Spiritual Blood he let out got thicker and thicker.
“Swish!”
He moved, turned into a fast wind and dashed out.
His speed reached 44 meters per second, a whole new level.
“How fast! his speed is equal to the Black Realm’s Final State Warriors.”
Duanmu Xingling’s eyes became brighter with the shock of his talent. If she hadn’t witnessed what happened herself, she wouldn’t have believed he could become so powerful within half a month.
Finally, she had enough confidence that Zhang Ruochen could defeat Feng Zhilin!
“Given the speed of his progress, it will not be difficult for him to defeat Feng Zhilin in half a month.”
Duanmu Xingling put out her hands and gave off Genuine Qi from the hollow of her hands. Her footsteps were flowing like treading on the wind. She attacked Zhang Ruochen directly with one single palm and a faint billow of Genuine Qi quickly appeared in front of her palm.
Boom!”
Zhang Ruochen took three steps back after receiving Duanmu Xingling’s strike.
Her Genuine Qi was so cold that it made a layer of white frost form on Zhang Ruochen’s hands, which left his hands numb.
It was the first time that Duanmu Xingling had attacked him proactively. Zhang Ruochen wasn’t frightened but overjoyed and clapped towards Duanmu Xingling.
Pure Jade Genuine Qi inside Zhang Ruochen’s body surged out and quickly thawed the frost on his hands.
Duanmu Xingling moved as quickly as a ghost and unleashed a dexterous palm technique. She forced Zhang Ruochen to step back continuously without any chance to attack back.
After three strikes, Duanmu Xingling slapped on Zhang Ruochen’s chest making him fly out 10 meters.
Zhang Ruochen slapped the ground, turned over in the air, and landed on the ground firmly.
Under the palm attack of Duanmu Xingling, his five internal organs and six hollow organs had been strongly shocked and he’d gotten a little hurt.
Duanmu Xingling laughed. “Can you guess how much power I used?”
Zhang Ruochen just shook his head.
Duanmu Xingling continued, “I just used half my power which was equal to that of a Black Realm’s Final State Warrior. It’s great that you could catch three strikes.”
Zhang Ruochen laughed bitterly. “But you just used one hand.”
Duanmu Xingling shook her head and said, “I know more about Martial Arts than a Black Realm’s Final State Warrior, so it’s only fair to use one hand.”
The reason why Duanmu Xingling held back her cultivation to the Black Realm’s Final State was that Feng Zhilin’s cultivation was at that level.
Duanmu Xingling said, “If you have the ability to force me to use the other hand or if you can force me back, you will defeat Feng Zhilin.”
“OK! Let’s do it again!”
Having a strong fighting spirit, Zhang Ruochen attacked Duanmu Xingling again.
At this time, he not only used the fourth movement of Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm but also used the first three palms.
‘Elephant Galloping!’
“Dragon in the Sky!”
“Dragon and Elephant Returning to Earth!”
“Dragon Shape and Elephant Shadow!”
After he unleashed the four palms, Zhang Ruochen’s Genuine Qi decreased. He was hit, flew out, and nearly fell to the ground. This all made him feel very dispirited.
“All the four palm techniques are powerful, well, very well.” Duanmu Xingling wore a silvery smile.
“Again!”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t get discouraged, and attacked Duanmu Xingling again.
This time, he caught six strikes. After that, Duanmu Xingling grasped his chest and threw him off.
Zhang Ruochen turned in the air and steadied his body. He pushed down with his legs, and one hand caught the ground, but he did not fall.
“Incredible!”
Duan Xingxing stared at Zhang Ruochen and felt that Zhang Rushen’s breath became stronger and stronger. It was like a prone figure lying on the ground.
Zhang Ruochen had an unwavering look with the jade-white Genuine Qi running quickly through the 36 Meridians inside his body and his 10 fingers turned pale like white jade.
“Slap!”
There was a splitting sound from under his feet and hand. The stone tablet had actually cracked.
“Dragon Shape and Elephant Shadow!”
Zhang Ruochen flew up and attacked towards Duanmu Xingling.
In Duanmu Xingling’s view, Zhang Ruochen divided into two and became two people. One unleashed the dragon’s claw; the other unleashed the elephant’s palm. They came from two directions.
“This is...”
Duanmu Xingling changed her expression slightly and channeled Genuine Qi into her index finger. She pointed out it towards the Zhang Ruochen on the left and repelled him.
Suddenly, Zhang Ruchen from the right side attacked and slammed his hand on her chest.
Duanmu Xingling bent back into an arch with her hands on the ground. She then raised her leg to kick towards Zhang Ruochen’s wrist.
Suddenly, the right and left Zhang Ruochen merged into one and he unleashed his two palms at the same time.
Duanmu Xingling converged her Genuine Qi and slapped out her palm.
Boom!”
Zhang Ruochen stood steadily while Duanmu Xingling catapulted backward about 16 meters. She dug in her feet and steadied her position.
Duanmu Xingling looked at Zhang Ruochen with shock and asked, “Is the power you’re using a successful level of ‘Dragon Shape and Elephant Shadow’?”
Zhang Ruochen withdrew his palms and nodded. “What do you think of this power?”
“It’s equal to the palm technique of a mid-class Spiritual Stage.” Duanmu Xingling laughed and continued, “You have a 70% chance of beating Feng Zhilin with your current power.”
In the beginning, Duanmu Xingling didn’t believe that Zhang Ruochen was able to defeat Feng Zhilin in one month.
The reason why she helped him was that she wanted to give him a better chance of saving himself. After all, it was difficult for Western Campus to bring up a genius like Zhang Ruochen and it would too bad if he died on the Life and Death Platform.
She did not expect that Zhang Ruochen had developed the ability to defeat Feng Zhilin within half a month. She had witnessed each step of his progress, and it was incredible.
However, she didn’t know that the Space Domain was Zhang Ruochen’s biggest advantage which he kept to himself. If he displayed the power of the Space Domain, then he had a 100% chance of beating Feng Zhilin.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Thanks for your help, I couldn’t have Practiced to a successful level in such a short time without your help.”
Duanmu Xingling laughed. “I’m just afraid you will lose face for Dragon Martial Temple. For of this reason, I helped you practice palm techniques. After all, you belong to Yellow No.1. I’m curious about how strong your cultivation will be after half a month.”
“You will know it when I fight on the Life and Death Platform in half a month. Since my palm technique has reached a successful level, I won’t bother you anymore. See you,” Zhang Ruochen said courteously and walked towards Yellow No.1.
Duanmu Xingling stared at his back, her eyes flashing. “He is very talented and it will not be long before he practices to the Black Realm’s Completion. Sister Chen picked up a treasure. Why can’t I pick up a genius like this?”
Zhang Ruochen went back to Yellow No.1 and continued to practice while grasping two Spiritual Crystals in his hand.
He was absorbing Spiritual Qi to consolidate his Realm.
Practicing in the internal space of the Time and Space Spinel for three days could consolidate the Black Realm’s Advanced Stage thoroughly.
Of course, as he had just reached the Black Realm’s Advanced Stage, his Genuine Qi was only 20 percent of the Qi Pool and there was a huge space to fill. The capacity of his Qi Pool had enlarged 10 times when he reached the Black Realm’s Advanced Stage and could hold much more Genuine Qi.
