Chapter 434: Chapter 436: Sudden Decrease in Strength【Six Chapters!】
"Damn it, there’s actually a cultivation thod like this? I’m completely defeated..."
"Did the old man grab the wrong book or sothing? Body Tempering Technique, not only is the na a mouthful, but I also have to cripple my own martial arts to cultivate it... Bloody hell, what if I cripple myself and then fail the Cultivation? Wouldn’t I be screwed?"
"Screw this, I’m not cultivating anymore!"
Walking back to his place from the back mountain of Wolong Mountain, Qin Tian talked to himself, ranting all the way.
This Body Tempering Technique was just unacceptable to Qin Tian.
"The old man said he had successfully cultivated eight out of the nine Chapters of the ’Sunflower Secret Manual,’ with only the last Chapter left. He must be lying; this third Chapter is clearly a trap."
Qin Tian rembered sothing from a martial arts novel, the ’Evil Extinguishing Sword Manual.’ To cultivate it, one must first... Ugh!
"This Body Tempering Technique must be from the sa crazy family as the ’Evil Extinguishing Sword Manual,’ I’m literally at a loss for words..."
Grumbling and complaining all the way, he still couldn’t help but pull out the ’Sunflower Secret Manual’ once he got ho to reexamine the principles, thods, and key points of the Body Tempering Technique.
Complain as he might, Qin Tian was well aware that the ’Sunflower Secret Manual’ was the old man’s treasure. After finally agreeing to let Qin Tian cultivate it, there was no way the content would be false.
After repeatedly studying by himself, Qin Tian finally understood that the ultimate goal of the Body Tempering Technique was indeed to train his own body—not in the ordinary way like running, playing sports, or swimming in the city, but in a much more advanced and brutal way.
This Body Tempering Technique required cultivators to first seal half of their own ridians during cultivation, especially the two major ridians, the Governor Vessel and the Conception Vessel, which must be sealed.
The most direct consequence of sealing the ridian channels was that Qin Tian’s agility would decrease greatly—by at least sixty to seventy percent.
By then, forget about using the Wave Striding Technique or the Flowing Cloud Skill. Even so powerful martial arts fist techniques and palming skills would beco impossible for Qin Tian to execute. After all, with the ridians sealed, just exerting a little force could strain them, making it impossible to perform any moves.
"Hiss... To train or not to train?"
After finishing the Secret Manual, Qin Tian hesitated, feeling quite troubled.
If he didn’t cultivate, he would be unable to cultivate any further Secret Martial Arts Manuals from the ’Sunflower Secret Manual’, but if he did, how could he lead War Dragon to its peak if his strength was sealed by seventy percent, and he failed to cultivate successfully right away?
"Luckily, this Body Tempering Technique can unlock the sealed ridians and restore strength after successful cultivation. Otherwise, I wouldn’t cultivate it even if you killed !"
After much thought, Qin Tian finally decided to cultivate the Body Tempering Technique.
No sooner said than done, after dinner, Qin Tian went straight to his room, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to circulate his ridians.
He couldn’t directly use his Qi to seal his own ridians yet, so he used acupuncture, inserting over a dozen silver needles into his head, shoulders, ribs, and spine.
Only after that did Qin Tian slowly start to circulate his Qi, sealing his ridians and acupoints. The whole process took him more than an hour.
When Qin Tian removed all the silver needles from his body, he was already dripping with sweat.
"For cultivating the Body Tempering Technique, I’m really going all out this ti..."
Stretching lazily, Qin Tian didn’t rush to take a shower but decided to test how much strength he had left after sealing the acupoints and ridians.
"Tiger Fist!"
Qin Tian executed the Tiger Fist in an open area behind his living quarters!
"Damn!"
After throwing two punches, Qin Tian stumbled and almost didn’t manage to stay on his feet!
Now, he couldn’t fully execute even the Tiger Fist; after throwing two punches, his hand would cramp, and if he tried to continue, his entire arm would feel numb.
"Snake Fist!"
Qin Tian, refusing to admit defeat, tried to execute the Snake Fist again.
Huff huff!
This ti, Qin Tian managed three punches, but afterwards, he still felt weak. His ridians were blocked, his acupoints were not energetic, and his strength couldn’t keep up. He couldn’t even bring out thirty percent of the Snake Fist’s power.
"It’s over, it’s over... If I can’t even pull off these two fist techniques, there’s no way I can manage more advanced punches and palm techniques..."
Qin Tian scratched his head, feeling totally overwheld. If he were to encounter soone like Shi Huaihai, a master of the Tiger Fist, he wouldn’t have any confidence that he could win even if he gave his all.
If he were only to use Tiger Fist, Qin Tian was one hundred percent sure he wouldn’t stand a chance against Shi Huaihai, not to ntion Chen Zhongyi.
"Ah, how miserable am I... Damn it..."
Now, Qin Tian felt incredibly disheartened and decided he must never tell Xiao Zhuang or Lin Yu about his Cultivation of the Body Tempering Technique, especially Xiao Zhuang, who would definitely mock him.
"No, I still have to try the Sandboxing Fist. If I can’t execute this technique, then I’m a tiger that’s fallen to the plains..."
Qin Tian imdiately assud the stance and executed a series of punches.
This ti, he finally managed to execute the Sandboxing Fist Technique. Luckily, this technique, common among Special Forces, was sothing Qin Tian could still perform completely. At least he could handle Special Forces operatives, ordinary rcenaries, and assassins in the city.
"Fortunately, I think I’ve retained about forty percent of my strength, nearly forty percent... Should I be grateful for that?"
Qin Tian felt helpless, shrugged, and went back to his room to sleep.
The next day, Qin Tian had Wild Boar drive him directly to the airport. Su Xuejiao had already booked his ticket, and she was waiting there when they arrived.
Not only was Su Xuejiao there, but Murong Fei was as well.
Today, Su Xuejiao was dressed in a white short-sleeved shirt and jeans, her hair tied back in a ponytail, looking exceptionally delicate and adorable.
Standing beside her wearing sunglasses was Murong Fei, looking every bit the celebrity with her light blue t-shirt, a chic black leather jacket, skinny jeans, and high heels. Her dazzling legs and peerless beauty made it impossible for her not to draw attention.
"How about it, doesn’t my sister look beautiful today?"
As Qin Tian approached, Su Xuejiao, holding Murong Fei’s wrist, giggled while looking at the aloof Murong Fei in sunglasses.
Murong Fei didn’t speak, and when she saw Qin Tian approaching with simple luggage, she removed her sunglasses.
It was clear, Qin Tian noticed, that the people nearby turned their heads to look at Murong Fei’s face; they had been curious about Qin Tian’s appearance for a while.
Upon seeing Murong Fei’s real face, several n nearby swallowed hard, appearing to have never seen such a beautiful woman before.
"Qin Tian, I’m entrusting Xuejiao to you. Make sure she is completely settled before you co back," Murong Fei told Qin Tian.
"Sure, you can count on ," Qin Tian replied.
"Xuejiao, call
when you get there."
Murong Fei didn’t say much more. Glancing at the ti, she looked at Qin Tian one more ti before putting on her sunglasses, "I’m in a rush to attend a eting, so I’m heading off first."
