Who said I practiced the exercises incorrectly?

A giant python with a thick waist leaped through the forest, its scales as big as copper coins flashing with cold silver light. Wherever it passed, bushes, bricks and stones were all crushed to pieces, but it didn't care and chased Ning Yan in front of it.

Ning Yan was screwed when he sensed the strong fishy smell coming from behind him.

Guan Ruoyu said it very easily. If they found the Yingyu Snake, they would naturally be able to find the Blue Silver Grass that was necessary for its survival.

But who the hell could have thought that this jade snake would be so powerful?

If an ordinary person gets close to it, he can kill it in just a few moves.

This strength is probably comparable to that of a senior.

Even if we only consider physical fitness, it is almost the same as the peak of entering the realm of strength.

And its wisdom is also quite extraordinary.

Just from the previous battlefield, it can be seen that there is a high probability that it deliberately brought Guan Ruoyu to find the corpse.

Now that the great enemy in its eyes had been entangled to death by the corpse, then naturally, I, who was following Guan Ruoyu, would be regarded as its target of revenge and meal.

Fortunately, his body had been strengthened again by the "Eight Organs and Nine Viscera Mixed Origin Divine Art", and now it had reached a terrifying state that was unimaginable with ordinary violence. In addition, the yellow-headed ginseng he had swallowed before was still taking effect, so he was not caught up by the jade snake.

But simply escaping is not a solution. With the drastic depletion of vitality, there will always be times when mistakes are made. Moreover, in this unfamiliar environment full of dangers, who knows what other dangers may arise. By then, it will be difficult to regret.

Ning Yan's mind raced, and he immediately thought of a solution.

He rushed towards a ruin on the left, and when he reached the highest point of the ruins, he stomped his feet hard and suddenly rushed forward.

Seeing this, the jade snake that was chasing behind him suddenly revealed a human-like joy in its huge eyes. Its smooth body suddenly exerted force and leaped upward along the uneven ruins. Like an arrow shot from a bow, it suddenly shot towards Ning Yan, and opened its bloody mouth in mid-air, ready to swallow Ning Yan in one gulp.

However, at this moment, Ning Yan, who was in mid-air with nowhere to gain support, suddenly had his clothes torn apart. The trapezius muscles on his back suddenly bulged upwards and expanded outwards. In the blink of an eye, they turned into huge flesh wings, driving his entire body to fly upwards.

When Yingyu Snake saw this scene, the whole snake was stunned.

At this moment, Ning Yan, who was flying into the air, suddenly swooped down. He swept his left hand lightly, and the dark bronze sword flashed with a sharp light, piercing into the body of the jade snake in mid-air.

Being in mid-air with nowhere to gain leverage, the Jade Snake's body swung wildly, but it was unable to shake off the long knife that had pierced its body.

Amidst the shrill screams, the long knife slashed along its majestic back.

Blood mixed with internal organs splashed down.

The jade snake fell heavily to the ground, its head still intact, but nearly 70% of its body had been split into two halves.

After landing, it was still shaking and twisting violently. Countless brick and stone ruins were crushed and flew away, and there was also a torrent of hot blood spilled all over the place.

Only when the jade snake had finished struggling and was only left with the strength to breathe did Ning Yan slowly fall from the air.

I have to say that the "Vulture Flight Technique" he had previously deduced is quite useful.

Used against those enemies that can only move on the ground, it often has the effect of surprising the enemy.

Of course, there are only those with similar strength like the Yingyu Snake.

If it was Guan Ruoyu, he would probably be torn into pieces before he even took off. Even if he took off early, someone could just throw a stone at him and shoot him down like a bird.

"Magic and martial arts are just external things. In the end, you still have to make yourself stronger."

Ning Yan looked at the jade snake that had stopped twitching, and his brows couldn't help but frown slightly.

As for killing the Yingyu Snake, Guan Ruoyu could have killed it long ago. The reason why he spared its life was purely to investigate the whereabouts of the Blue Silver Grass.

As a result, he didn't have time to stop and killed it directly. He was afraid that the blue silver grass would never be found again.

Forget it, just take it one step at a time.

It's not possible that there is only this one jade snake in the entire Shinra ruins.

Ning Yan thought with relief.

He walked straight forward, ready to harvest some materials from the jade snake.

No matter what, this is a monster that is as powerful as a senior one. Its body is full of valuable things. Not to mention other things, its scales alone can be used to make fine armor.

Including its flesh and blood, all the major restaurants in the city would probably be willing to pay a high price to purchase it.

Unfortunately, he still had to continue exploring the ruins and couldn't carry so many things with him. Ning Yang could only find a way to cut some important materials from it, such as snake gall, snake teeth, and the hardest part of the snake's body, the scales.

While in the process of dissecting the jade snake, his long knife accidentally cut open the snake's stomach, and then he saw a piece of flesh that had been corroded beyond recognition sliding out from it. Judging from its shape, it was clearly the upper body of someone that had been swallowed.

As for the lower body, well, if you pick out the fishy mucus, you should be able to find some traces.

Ning Yan was not surprised by the appearance of the corpse. If Guan Ruoyu had not rushed over in time when the group of people in red were attacked, the ones cut out of the stomach would probably be them.

This is like opening a treasure chest.

Ning Yan shook his head, throwing away his messy thoughts. He suddenly felt that the corpse looked a little strange.

What's so weird about it?
Ning Yan frowned and thought, then he suddenly thrust the tip of the knife downwards and actually picked off a piece of light yellow animal skin from the chest of the corpse.

"Sure enough, this thing is not from a human. I find it strange that a large part of it has not been corroded."

He picked up the torn clothes and wiped the animal skin clean, and then he saw that it was covered with words. At the top was written:

The Parallel Method of Yin and Yang.

As for the words engraved below, many parts have been corroded by gastric juice and can no longer be seen clearly.

"It's just that some content is missing, it's a small problem."

"With my supreme wisdom, I can fully make up for it."

He examined the technique carefully with great interest.

The so-called "Yin Yang Parallel Method" is actually a magical method of practicing Qigong. This method does not have the effect of actual combat, nor is it used to improve the realm. According to the description above, the function of this method is actually to coordinate various Qigong methods in the body so that they can work at the same time. It must be said that this method is aimed at a pain point of the majority of martial artists.

In fierce battles, warriors often choose multiple methods to fight the enemy, such as those used to attack the enemy, to defend themselves, to move their bodies, and so on.

These methods often belong to the same system and can be changed very flexibly and smoothly without any delays in between. This is also one of the foundations of many major sects.

But for the vast majority of independent practitioners, they tend to learn whatever is available, or whatever is most powerful.

Then a problem arises. Many exercises come from different sects and are formulated based on different principles of practice. There is no intention to coordinate with each other, so there will often be short gaps when changing.

Especially those extremely powerful skills often take extreme routes, and extremes also mean larger gaps during changes.

Therefore, they are often taken advantage of in battle.

There will even be tactics specifically designed to target this gap.

Of course, if it is a one-on-one situation, this problem may not be a big problem. After all, everyone is used to it. When changing tactics in battle, they often make various preparations in advance, such as withdrawing a step, deceiving the enemy, etc., to cover up the gap.

However, in a group battle, especially when facing many enemies alone, the gap between changes in tactics may very likely become a fatal weakness.

So how do we address this weakness?
In addition to improving your realm and enhancing your strength, the simplest method is to allow multiple methods to be used at the same time.

For example, while attacking the enemy, you can also add a set of defensive skills to yourself. When someone attacks you from the side with a killing move, you can flexibly avoid it. In a sense, it is equivalent to allowing the warrior to go from single-threaded to multi-threaded, and the actual combat ability can be said to be a qualitative leap.

Therefore, in terms of its importance, this "Yin and Yang Parallel Method" may be no less than the "Eight Internal Organs and Nine Bowels Mixed Origin Divine Art".

After all, the "Eight Organs and Nine Viscera Mixed Origin Divine Art" can only be effective at the current stage, while the "Yin and Yang Parallel Method" can probably continue to be used even when it reaches the stage of transformation.

"No wonder he kept this method close to his heart."

Ning Yan looked at the unrecognizable corpse and couldn't help but shook his head again.

It’s a pity that no matter how powerful his martial arts were, it couldn’t save his life.

After a brief sigh, Ning Yan took another look at the "Yin Yang Parallel Method".

When he watched it again at this moment, countless insights suddenly arose in his mind.

To be honest, this martial art is much more important to him than to others, because he often combines multiple martial arts to kill the enemy.

In fact, when he was stacking those skills, he always had a vague feeling of uneasiness.

Theoretically speaking, when those techniques are superimposed, there is simply not enough energy in the body to be distributed, and many of the exercise routes even interfere with each other, making it impossible to successfully superimpose them.

But he always succeeds.

That only shows that he is truly extremely talented.

However, with this "Yin Yang Parallel Method", we should be able to make improvements on the original basis.

According to the description in this technique, "The Parallel Yin-Yang Technique" can allow the two major techniques to be run in parallel in the body at the same time. Even if the routes of the two major techniques intersect and interfere with each other, it does not matter, because it will separate the two techniques at the point of interference.

To be specific, acupuncture points and meridians are actually divided into up, down, left and right. So in order to meet the requirements of the two major exercises, the vital energy is artificially separated at the intersection, one on the left and one on the right, or one up and one down, avoiding each other and not interfering with each other, thus achieving the result that both major exercises can be performed.

Theoretically speaking, this approach does work. Of course, there are some problems involved. For example, if the vital energy from the two major techniques passes through a node in parallel and is divided left and right or up and down, then the amount of energy passing through is only half of the usual amount, which is reflected in the body as a weakening of the martial arts moves.

Maybe you can use both skills, but both skills will definitely be weakened a lot.

In order to restore it to its normal power, the corresponding meridians must be tempered for a long time to make them larger and tougher, so that they can accommodate more vital energy passing through at one time, and this will certainly take a lot of time.

So, although the "Yin Yang Parallel Method" is good, it is still quite troublesome to practice.

Fortunately, Ning Yan can still make further deductions about it.

In view of its characteristics and weaknesses, he formulated various optimization strategies in his mind, and finally selected a technique that was extremely suitable for him.

Although this brand-new technique was developed on the basis of the "Parallel Method of Yin and Yang", there is hardly any trace of the "Parallel Method of Yin and Yang" in the final product.

Because the deduced exercises completely simulated a second environment within the body.

To put it simply, it replicates the entire environment inside the body on a one-to-one basis. This replicated environment is virtual, a mapping of the inside of the body, similar to a virtual machine system simulated by software, but at the same time, all exercises can also be run in this environment.

As for why this could be achieved, to be honest he didn't really understand, but the technique had been developed and was usable, which proved that the theory was feasible.

What's more, it is different from the "Yin Yang Parallel Method" in that the original version can only perform two methods in parallel, but he is completely separated from the physical environment. Although the simulated virtual mapping is inside the body, it is not restricted by the body. Theoretically speaking, he can run 999 methods simultaneously in it without any problem.

Of course, the more exercises you perform, the more vital energy you consume.

If you really practice 999 exercises, your vital energy may be completely exhausted before you can even succeed.

In addition, the most crucial point is that because he himself has the need to integrate the skills, he can use them in this virtual environment in the future.

In this way, if there were any problems with his fusion technique, it would only cause the complete collapse of this virtual environment and would not cause too much harm to himself.

Although he has never encountered a situation where his practice of martial arts backfired, it does not prevent him from giving himself an extra layer of tolerance to reduce the risk as much as possible.

There is no doubt that he is still quite cautious.

If placed in a fantasy novel, he would definitely be the king among all the masters of Gou Dao.

After deducing the exercises, Ning Yan roughly tried out various techniques and confirmed that they could all be run in the virtual environment and produce the corresponding effects. He nodded with satisfaction.

Truly speaking, this is the true parallel of yin and yang.

The body is Yang and the virtual is Yin; the two do not interfere with each other and progress towards each other.

Therefore, he did not intend to change the name of the technique, and it was still called "Yin Yang Parallel Technique".

I hope that one day this martial art can be developed and promoted in his hands, and benefit more warriors.

Ning Yan thought complacently, his eyes swept across the huge body of Yingyu Snake, and he was suddenly startled:
"Hey, this is..." (End of this chapter)
