Hunting God Era

Chapter 31 Death Like the Wind
Li Ye's current cultivation is no longer about eagerly transforming his qi and blood after each meal. Instead, he listens to Xu Yanwu's advice and tries to perform twelve repetitions of the exercise at once.

He called this method the 'Twelve Practices'.

This requires 360 points of Qi and Blood to transform. Li Ye always stores up this much Qi and Blood before performing the exercise all at once.

The complete twelve-line exercise does have its benefits, allowing Li Ye to release an extra breath when necessary.

Just like a sluice gate, it accumulates water in normal times, and when it is critical, it can open the gate and release the flood in one go, thus having a higher intensity, whether in speed or power, it is an explosive increase.

And these water gates can be stacked indefinitely, just like water gates that will only ever rise in water level, and will not leak water when the gate is opened.

However, this requirement is even more exaggerated than normal practice. Generally speaking, it requires reaching a high level of Qi and blood circulation to withstand the amount of Qi and blood consumed by the twelve-step exercise before one can proceed.

With Erlongmen's cultivation level and blood volume, it's naturally impossible for him to achieve this. Normally, Li Ye shouldn't have the intensity of his training.

But he was cheating.

The Qi-absorbing method complemented his aptitude perfectly, and he could even use his authority to store his Qi and blood, suppressing his ordinary Qi and blood volume, and forcefully transforming it into the Twelve Elements Technique, refining it into the martial arts required for his skills.

He was even more straightforward than Xu Yanwu, since Xu Yanwu never believed that Li Ye could use the Twelve Lines Technique at this stage, and always talked about the future.

Li Ye would always eat here, then practice his skills casually for a bit. After returning to his rented room, he would cook while transforming the stored qi and blood to complete the Twelve Elements Exercise.

He spent most of his time in this large mansion familiarizing himself with the moves.

His master said he was dying soon, and before he died, Li Ye had to check where his moves were lacking so he could correct them in time.

Another half month passed.

night.

Inside the mansion, Li Ye took a deep breath and nodded to Pan Zhengyang.

Pan Zhengyang grabbed a handful of iron blocks piled up like a small mountain beside him, picked one up and weighed it in his hand, "Then you catch it."

call!
With just a light toss, a piece of iron made a whooshing sound as it hurtled through the air, hurtling towards Li Ye at lightning speed.

Li Ye swerved to the side, narrowly avoiding the flying piece of iron. The force was so great that his hair spun wildly, but he ultimately did not get hit.

Whoohoo!
Pan Zhengyang threw two iron blocks in each hand with lightning speed, cutting through the air like a barrage of bullets as they hurtled forward.

Faced with a large number of iron blocks, Li Yeqi's body seemed to be drunk. He was clearly swaying from side to side, seemingly trying his best to avoid the iron blocks, but his center of gravity was stable, and he was even able to move around and dodge among the dense group of iron blocks.

Just like a dragon soaring through the sky, passing through the clouds.

"Here we go again, catch!"

Seeing this, Pan Zhengyang laughed, took a step back, and kicked the remaining iron block.

Bang!
The remaining iron blocks, like shrapnel, left no opening for anyone to pass through. Even without getting close, one could feel the force of the wind rushing towards them.

Li Ye stood firmly on his feet, staring at the large number of iron blocks coming at him. He circulated his qi throughout his body, exhaled the stale air, and let the iron blocks rush towards him.

Ding!
Dangdang! !

It was like hitting a metal plate. The scattered iron pieces touched all parts of Li Ye's body, from his head, eyes, mouth, chest, abdomen, knees, and even his genitals. They were all hit, but only made a crisp sound before falling off his body.

The metal clanged, yet the body remained indestructible.

"Give me a big one!" Pan Zhengyang's smile widened, and he stretched his hand back, tossing a piece of iron, about half a person's height, into the air.

Li Ye's gaze followed the iron block upwards. He slightly bent his knees and jumped up with a thud. He then thrust his hands forward like claws, piercing the iron block as if piercing through foam.

laugh! !

The iron block, half a person's height, was torn in two by Li Ye, and then he landed easily.

Upon closer inspection, the edge of the metal block he was holding, like the plastic bag he was gripping, had wrinkles formed between his fingers.

With the strength of a fierce tiger, its claws can shatter iron and stone.

"Although it's not refined iron, it's still good enough. When I was in the Dragon Gate Realm, I practiced top-notch martial arts, but I wasn't as good as you when I was in the Three Dragon Gates Realm."

Pan Zhengyang smiled and turned to look at Xu Yanwu, who was sitting in a grand chair. "Are you satisfied with the apprentice I found for you?"

Xu Yanwu slowly nodded, looked at Li Ye, and said, "Come."

Li Ye did as instructed and approached Xu Yanwu, standing in front of him. "Master."

At this point, Li Ye had already reached the Three Dragon Gates.

He finished the rice in the rented room a few days ago, cleaned it up, and then moved out. He only eats here now.

Not only do they improve quickly, but their moves are also so standardized that they develop their own style, using the most suitable method for other people's bodies to perform moves without any hindrance.

Originally, he didn't expect to improve so quickly, but just five days ago, Xu Yanwu's condition took a sharp turn for the worse. He used to be an ordinary person who could eat and walk, but now he can only sit in a grand chair, and his body has started to stiffen.

Xu Yanwu was still able to speak, and his guidance to Li Ye unconsciously sped up a bit. In order not to disappoint his master, Li Ye did not lag behind when it was time to break through, and broke through the Three Dragon Gates during the day.

Xu Yanwu stared at Li Ye, "When you reach a higher realm, you must practice your cultivation twelve times. Have you ever played a game? It will give you a 'second stage' like a BOSS."

Then he looked at Pan Zhengyang and said, "Old Pan, we've known each other for over thirty years. I have nothing to leave you, but passing down my martial arts skills is enough to fulfill my duty to you and my duty to me. That's good enough. Thank you."

Pan Zhengyang seemed to sense something, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes, but he immediately laughed and scolded, "Stop talking nonsense! All these years, you've been so arrogant and cocky! If you really want to thank me, once you've calmed down, treat me to a big drink, find some girls, and while you're at it, take your virginity!"

Xu Yanwu smiled upon hearing this, but it was precisely this smile that was even more terrifying.

“I don’t have a home either. My ancestors all died long ago, so I’m practically an orphan. I don’t need any memorial tablet. After I die, I’ll be burned to ashes and let them scatter when the wind is strong. I haven’t had a chance to see the world properly all these years. I hope I can see it after I die.”

He then said to Li Ye, "You should train hard and see the scenery of martial arts. I won't be able to see it myself, so I'll let you, my successor, see it for my lineage."

Upon seeing this, Li Ye knelt down with a thud, and without saying a word, kowtowed three times with great force, each kowtow shattering the stone slab.

With the last thrust, Li Ye didn't even look up. "Master, don't worry, I will definitely do it!"

There was no sound from the other side.

"Old Xu!"

Pan Zhengyang's voice choked with emotion.

Li Ye suddenly looked up and saw Xu Yanwu sitting steadily in the armchair, with a slight smile on his face. His cold expression was no longer frozen in the moonlight.
