The white-haired school beauty sighs every day, yet he keeps getting stronger.

It was supposed to be a night watch, but no monsters came, and there wasn't much to do.

Zhang Ziyang simply began to study the secret technique of the first level of the "Yin Yang Five Elements Great Revolving Creation Technique"—the theft of the Five Elements.

This technique can reverse the five elements and turn cause into effect.

It can neutralize and eliminate attacks based on the five elements within the limits that the body can withstand.

It's somewhat similar to Imagine Breaker, the character of Touma Kamijou from "A Certain Magical Index".

(Imagine Breaker can eliminate all supernatural powers it comes into contact with, whether they are superpowers or magic.)

It's just a weaker version.

But what makes it more powerful than Imagine Breaker is that Stealing the Five Elements can not only be used for defense, but also as an offensive tactic.

If this move is used to directly hit the target's body, it can cause the energy of the five internal organs to go berserk and disordered!

As a result, the target will suffer from a deficiency of Qi and blood, leading to an imbalance of the five elements and a state of severe weakness.

His strength has been greatly reduced, and his threat level has been significantly lowered.

This principle is derived from ancient pharmacological theories.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the human body is an extremely complex unified whole with the five internal organs as its core.

It takes the five viscera as the main organs and the six bowels as the auxiliary organs, and uses the meridians as a network to connect the body's tissues and organs, forming five major systems.

These five internal organs correspond to the five elements.

Wood corresponds to the liver, fire to the heart, earth to the spleen, metal to the lungs, and water to the kidneys.

The mutual generation among the five internal organs:

The liver nourishes the heart, just as wood generates fire; for example, the liver stores blood to nourish the heart.

The heart generates the spleen, which is like fire generating earth. For example, the yang energy of the heart can be inquired about the spleen.

The spleen generates the lungs, which is like earth generating metal. For example, the spleen's transformation and transportation of the essence of water and grain can benefit the lungs.

The lungs nourish the kidneys, just as metal nourishes water. If the lung qi is clear and pure, the body fluids will descend to nourish the kidneys.

The kidneys nourish the liver, just as water nourishes wood. For example, the kidneys store essence to nourish the liver's yin and blood.

In addition to mutual generation, there is also a restraining relationship between the five internal organs.

The descending and purifying function of the lungs (metal) can inhibit the hyperactivity of liver (wood) yang, i.e., metal controls wood;

When the liver (wood) is free-flowing, it can relieve the stagnation of the spleen (earth), which is the principle of wood controlling earth.

The spleen (earth) can prevent the kidney (water) from overflowing, which is the principle of earth controlling water.

The upward flow of kidney (water) yin can restrain the excessive yang of heart (fire), that is, water controls fire;

The yang heat of the heart (fire) can restrain the excessive cleansing and purifying of the lungs (metal), that is, fire controls metal.

The interactions between the five internal organs correspond perfectly to the interactions of the five elements.

Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes "regulation" in treating diseases.

Regulate the five elements in the body to achieve the goal of healing by balancing the five elements in the body.

Stealing from the Five Elements is to disrupt and confuse the "Qi of the Five Internal Organs" in the human body!

By cleverly utilizing the mutual restraint among the five internal organs, the enemy's internal organs can be damaged, thereby weakening their combat power.

Unfortunately, this secret technique is extremely difficult to master.

Three steps are required.

1. Understand the principles of the Five Elements' mutual generation and restraint.

2. Guide the Qi of the Five Elements to correctly settle into the corresponding Five Organs, thereby nourishing the Qi of the Five Organs.

3. Guide the Qi of the five internal organs to correctly settle into the corresponding five fingers.

After several days of exploration, Zhang Ziyang has made some progress.

But what truly enlightened him was a small opportunity.

Just now, Liu Yujie asked everyone to cooperate and practice the use and positioning of the Minor Five Elements Sealing Card Array.

During the practice, he held a golden flag and became one of the key figures in the formation.

Through the mutual influence between the flags.

Zhang Ziyang now has a deeper personal understanding of the five elements' mutual generation and restraint.

Now is the time to prove it!

in the dark.

Zhang Ziyang frowned and slowly raised his right index finger.

Soon, the fingertips began to glow.

It radiates a jade-green glow.

The index finger represents the liver and gallbladder, belongs to the wood element, and is bright green.

"Is this the Qi of the five internal organs?"

Zhang Ziyang looked at the cyan flame at his fingertips and couldn't help but show a look of joy.

However, this is not the whole story.

Only one-fifth of them were successful.

Next, Zhang Ziyang concentrated and carefully lifted the remaining four fingers one by one.

The thumb represents the spleen and stomach, belongs to the earth element, and is bright yellow.

The middle finger represents the heart and small intestine, belongs to the fire element, and is bright red.

The ring finger represents the lungs and large intestine, belongs to the metal element, and is bright white.

The little finger represents the kidneys and bladder, belongs to the water element, and is shiny black.

A short while later.

The tips of Zhang Ziyang's five fingers finally lit up with colorful light!

"Haha, it's done, it's done!"

"The Qi of the five internal organs has finally been formed!"

Zhang Ziyang was overjoyed.

"No, the revolution is not yet successful, we must continue to work hard, it's too early to be happy!"

Zhang Ziyang suppressed his excitement and deliberately let the light from his fingertips dissipate.

Then, following the principle of mutual generation of the five elements, each fingertip is lit up one by one.

Start practicing slowly.

If the lighting sequence is correct, the light on your fingertips will become more solid and stronger.

But if something goes wrong in the middle, the light will dim and flicker.

Like a candle flickering in the wind, it could be extinguished at any moment.

Furthermore, there will be a slight, lingering pain in the internal organs.

Remind him not to be careless and not to act recklessly!

In this seemingly playful process, Zhang Ziyang's understanding of the Five Elements of Stealing and Destroying became increasingly profound.

Gradually, he became more skilled through practice.

He raised his right hand.

The fingertips quickly lit up with five colors of light: red, yellow, green, white, and black!

These five-colored flames are the outward manifestation of "stealing and destroying the five elements".

In the darkness, the five-colored light was dazzling and eye-catching.

Seeing this, Zhang Ziyang nodded in satisfaction.

Next, he simply had to let the five-colored flames flow down his fingers like water.

Once the entire palm is completely covered, the "Stealing and Destroying the Five Elements" technique can be considered a successful entry into the basics.

It can then be used for defense or offense.

"Very good, keep it up!"

"Fuck you! Fuck you until you're ruined!"

Zhang Ziyang's eyes lit up with joy, and he continued training with great enthusiasm.

……

Normally, there should be veterinary deworming powder present.

Ordinary monsters, upon smelling the scent from afar, will wisely take a detour.

Otherwise, if you continue to approach, the owner of the scent will see it as a provocation.

A fight is inevitable when that happens.

Being beaten up and kicked out is actually a pretty good outcome.

If you're unlucky, you might even get killed!

Therefore, many monsters, in order to protect themselves, dare not get too close to areas marked by powerful monsters.

But there are always some reckless young people who are not afraid of death.

Just like the honey badger in the animal kingdom.

They're either fighting or on their way to fight!

During the expansion and contraction of the boundary, these hotheads, after receiving a buff, became even more audacious.

While Zhang Ziyang was engrossed in practicing his skills, a loud roar suddenly came from afar.

"Ouch——!"

“Ugh—!”

Monster?

And there's more than one!

Realizing this, Zhang Ziyang waved his hand to dispel the five-colored flames on his hand and suddenly stood up.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Pengfei's voice came over.

"Brother Zhang, a monster is coming! Hold on a bit, I'll come help you as soon as I've dealt with this!"

"Row!"

Zhang Ziyang responded and looked up.

In the distance, pairs of eerie green eyes could be seen shining from the darkness.

The owner of those eyes slowly emerged from behind the woods, from the shady side of the hillside...

But they were several werewolves with sharp claws and fangs!

They stand on two legs, as strong as calves.

Its dark gray fur gleamed eerily under the blood moon's light.

Upon seeing Zhang Ziyang, the Poison Claw Wolves immediately bared their teeth and glared menacingly.

The next second, they all landed on all fours at the same time, howling as they rushed forward.

It seemed as if they wanted to tear Zhang Ziyang, who was standing in front of the courtyard fence, to pieces.

He wanted to swallow it all, along with the fresh blood and bones...
