Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 411 Introduction (Part 2)

Immediately, with a thought, the panel trembled slightly and disappeared, the yin energy slowly diminishing.

There was a snap.

A crisp sound emanated from his body.

The fully perfected Nine-Bend Palm, driven by an unknown force, combined with the heart of the Northern Ice Fox, became a far more powerful and colder catalyst than the heart of the Northern Ice Fox itself.

A cold current slowly gathered in his body, as if a cold creature was moving about wildly. Soon, a large amount of cold current gathered in his chest, like an ice pillar or snowball below zero degrees Celsius in a snowy world.

Bang! ! !

The icicle grew larger and colder, and in an instant, it suddenly exploded, turning into a cold current that carried a powerful chill that flowed throughout the body.

Han Yi shuddered, and frost appeared on his eyebrows and eyelids. Cold white vapor began to emanate from his entire body.

The icy airflow flowed through his entire body, causing his skin, muscles, and bones to contract and then expand instantly under the extreme cold.

Under this alternating expansion and contraction, the quality of all parts of his body gradually undergoes a qualitative change.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Han Yi opened his eyes again.

Click!

This is a freezing phenomenon caused by the rapid cooling of the entire body, resulting in the condensation of fluid in the bones.

He raised his right hand, and a large amount of icy yin energy swirled and gathered wildly.

A large amount of cold white mist appeared, and under his mental control, the water vapor in the air was also frozen by this cold force, forming fine ice shavings.

He bent down slightly and put his right hand into the flowing lake water.

clap clap clap!

The lake water about ten feet from the riverbank suddenly slowed down, gradually solidified, and a layer of ice began to form.

Within the ice, a silver fish, its entire body white with its mouth wide open, was completely frozen in the ice, its scales covered by a layer of ice.

"As expected, the fourth level of true skill... is almost exactly as Senior Sister Zhong Han described... It greatly enhances the effects of internal energy, and it's when the true power of the Cold Yin Force begins to manifest..."

Han Yi sighed and pulled his right hand out of the ice.

The ninth level of true skill, with each enhancement of strength, produces a significant amplification, truly showcasing the various extraordinary abilities of different true skills. The ice layer, deprived of its continued power, was slowly dispersed, broken down, and disappeared by the flowing lake water. A small, silvery-white fish flicked its tail and vanished instantly into the depths of the lake.

The fish survived the instantaneous freezing and thawing.

"The control panel." He thought to himself.

Name: Han Yi (20/202)

[Realm]: Mid-stage Meridian Opening Realm, Martial Master with concurrent martial arts skills, True Skill One-Strength Martial Master

[Martial Arts]: Qianyang Gong (Entry-level martial art, Qianyang Jin, characteristics: Rejuvenation, Evil-dispelling, Perfected Strength); Feilong Gong (Entry-level martial art, Youlong Jin, characteristics: Speed, Fire Poison, Ignition, Perfected Strength); Hanyin Jiuqu Zhang (Fourth level of true skill, Hanyin Jin, characteristics: Extreme Cold)

[Secondary Skills]: Heaven-Mending Technique (Fourth Layer, Characteristics: Strengthening Foundation, Returning to Origin); Immaculate White Lotus Body (Immaculate Strength, Second Layer, Characteristics: Avoiding Poison, Enhancing Poison Resistance) [Secret Techniques]: Concealing Spirit (Special Effects: Hiding Qi, Gathering Blood); Reverse Scale State (Special Effects: Strength Boost, Enhancing Speed, Enhancing Burst)

[Yin Qi]: 10

The fourth level of the Cold Yin Nine-Bend Palm is similar to the first and second levels. There is no distinction between minor and major achievements; it is simply a stage of accumulating energy and strengthening resources.

“However, this extreme cold property…” Han Yi was slightly taken aback.

Breaking through from the third to the fourth level of the Nine-Bend Palm only strengthens the power, but I've never heard of it changing its characteristics.

His previous third level of true skill had the characteristic of "frost," but after the fourth level, it became "extreme cold"...

“However, this seems to be a benign mutation…” He made a judgment as he sensed the cold yin energy flowing within his body.

The fourth layer of cold yin energy, compared to the previous layers, seemed to carry a faint trace of extremely cold air.

Judging from the power of this extremely cold air current that just froze the lake water, it should be able to freeze and slow down the opponent's movements, giving him the advantage.

"Let's take a look at the changes in his physical condition..." He stood up and slowly activated his Reverse Scale state, with cold Yin energy surging continuously, stimulating the muscles and skin of his legs.

Whoosh! ! !

He simply took a light step forward.

He almost left a blur, moving much faster than when he used all his strength before.

With just one step, he appeared thirty meters away, almost plunging into the water.

Fortunately, he was able to release his reverse scale state in time and dissipate his energy, thus stopping in time.

"My physical strength, speed, and explosiveness have all improved significantly... but I need to train more to quickly adapt to this rapid increase in physical abilities..."

In that instant, he made his judgment. Strength and physical body are two complementary entities.

The stronger the physical body, the more energy it can contain, and the more powerful it becomes. Conversely, a large amount of energy can also temper a martial artist's body, making it robust.

However, compared to the physical body, Han Yi felt that most people in Jiuqu Academy, or rather Jingtian Manor, and even in the general environment of Yunzhou, valued the cultivation of internal strength the most.

Physical training alone is considered a type of external martial art, a low-level and outdated form.

"That's true. When one's strength reaches a certain level, the physical body of a martial artist will naturally be rapidly honed and improved. Training only the physical body is indeed less cost-effective."

Han Yi had actually thought so before.

However, after playing several matches with Meng Ren, his opinion began to subtly change.

That kid's strength wasn't particularly strong, just average. He mainly relied on the hardness and defense of his innate physical body. The powerful defense provided by his Ironwood Body was enough to withstand several full-force blows from Han Yi.

Otherwise, Han Yi wouldn't have been forced to use his secret technique "Reverse Scale" on the boxing ring that day.

It can be said that if we disregard all other factors—strength, secret techniques, ultimate moves, etc.—and only consider physical attributes…

Meng Ren's physical strength is definitely a level above Han Yi's.

"So it seems that physical strength is the key to Meng Ren's ability to challenge and defeat Senior Sister Shen Qiuling and Senior Brother Guo An, who are of higher levels..."

Han Yi seemed to be deep in thought. Only after he used the secret technique "Reverse Scale" could the powerful pure Yang energy formed by the fusion of Qianyang Energy and Youlong Energy break through Meng Ren's physical defense and defeat him.

"Perhaps, cultivating the physical body while maintaining its strength is the only way to truly achieve a balance of inner and outer cultivation, a unity of body and soul, and that should be the path I take from now on..."

A thought flashed through Han Yi's mind; this was the most promising direction he could think of at the moment.

Study both internally and externally.

Perhaps this is also a direction for further optimization in his cultivation choices.
