I am a high-level martial arts master.

Chapter 116 The Azure Dragon's Crossing the Calamity Method

Inside the dark room, the candlelight flickered.

Upon hearing that his gang really had a dragon, Ye Li was shocked.

Seeing his apprentice's astonished expression, Zheng Tong coughed a few times with a hint of smugness and said:

"The difference between half-step innate and perfect acquired is not that big. Aren't you surprised that I can overpower two perfect acquired people?" "That seems to make sense..." Ye Li suddenly realized.

Upon closer reflection, Ye Li realized that there were many suspicious points about his master.

For example, martial artists should have their qi and blood decline after the age of forty or fifty, and thus cease to make progress.

My master, who is over sixty years old, is still vigorous and energetic, showing no signs of aging.

To say that this is the effect of being half-step into the innate realm is a bit of a stretch.

Moreover, his master was only a green-level expert, yet he was able to forcefully suppress and fight two martial artists who had reached the peak of the acquired realm.

Putting everything else aside, the Zou Tu with the blue attribute, [Blue - Mighty and Powerful], can increase strength by 3 times in all aspects!

Even so, in a one-on-one situation, he could be killed by his master within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Seeing Ye Li's shocked expression, Zheng Tong suppressed a smile and said, "Listen carefully, I will pass on the key points of the Azure Dragon Crossing Calamity Technique to you." Ye Li then focused his attention and listened attentively to Zheng Tong's words.

The secret teachings are not to be passed on to six ears, yet the other party transmitted their voice into the secret passage:

"The Great Dao has no name, yet it is given the name Dragon; the Profound Skill has no form, yet it takes on the form of Azure."

"The Azure Dragon is the essence of nature, corresponding to the seven constellations of the East. It is endowed with the most vigorous and yang energy of the swallow, and it holds the potential for transformation and flight."

"This method is not about cultivating the physical body, but about refining one's true nature; it does not adhere to techniques or numbers, but only aligns with the will of Heaven."

Therefore, the sutra says: "The Azure Dragon is not a dragon, but it crosses over calamities and averts disasters; seeing form and detaching from form, this is called the true Dharma."

Under the secret transmission of sound, only two people could hear the secret teachings of the technique.

The more Ye Li listened, the deeper his understanding became, as if the great bell of the Dao was resounding in his mind.

Lost in thought, Zheng Tong explained, he was astonished and exclaimed that the old man had finally revealed the "Burning Technique".

Humans are the spirit of heaven and earth, while demons are the essence of all things!

The human race, based on different talents, has developed countless terms.

The demon race refers to this term as "bloodline supernatural power"!

Simply put, demon races of the same race do not have the diverse range of attributes that humans possess; each race has only one bloodline ability. Lower-level races all have the same white attribute.

Each of the higher races inherits the same bloodline supernatural abilities as their kin.

If a lower-level race wants to improve the quality of an attribute, they can only gradually revert to their ancestral bloodline and replace it with a higher-level bloodline.

dragon!

As royalty among the demons of the East Sea, even those belonging to the dragon branch in the main storyline have blue attributes.

Pure-blooded dragons start with purple-grade attributes and are all exceptionally talented. Even without cultivation after adulthood, their innate talent alone is enough to rival that of a pre-natal being! However, if a dragon wants to cultivate human techniques, it must be reborn as a human to carve out its bone orifices.

At this moment, what Zheng Tong passed on to Ye Li was the cultivation method of a Grandmaster-level Azure Dragon after it transformed into human form and entered the Acquired Realm!

It is an astonishing martial art that allows one to transform a human form into the shape of a blue dragon!

Under Zheng Tong's explanation, the short scripture of a few thousand words, including the general outline of the practice, the route of circulating qi through the body, and the content of the practice, were all explained in detail. After an incense stick had burned, Zheng Tong finished explaining the essentials of the method and looked at Ye Li, saying, "If you have any questions, you can ask, and I can give you some guidance..." Zheng Tong stopped halfway through his sentence.

Before him sat Ye Li cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, his mind completely immersed in the state described in the cultivation technique.

"I almost forgot, this kid's entry is the exceptional quality 'World-Class Genius'," Zheng Tong sighed inwardly.

"You have listened to the Azure Dragon's Salvation Technique in its entirety, and gained +1 comprehension."

"Azure Dragon Crossing the Calamity Technique (1/100)"

After learning the technique, Ye Li used the "Azure Dragon Crossing Calamity Method" to circulate the energy through his acupoints.

As the technique gradually circulated, the unique effects of this technique began to appear on the body.

Yes, special effects!

The most important difference between the Acquired Realm and the Body Tempering Realm is that the Acquired Realm can use internal force to propel the cultivation technique.

Martial artists will experience different effects when they practice different techniques.

The cultivation method can be understood as a "job change".

Some cultivation methods focus on increasing internal energy.

Even if one reaches perfection in the future, one's physical condition will not change in any way, but one's internal energy will be long and continuous, equivalent to that of a mage.

Some cultivation methods focus solely on physical training; while one's internal energy might be less than a tenth of that of an opponent of the same level, their physical strength can still overpower them. At this moment, Ye Li is practicing the "Azure Dragon Crossing Calamity Method," which has twelve layers of mental techniques.

Each level of cultivation of the mental technique grants a different special effect.

However, Zheng Tong currently only has the first seven levels, and his cultivation technique can only be practiced up to the late stage of the Innate Realm.

Even so, it was considered the best in the entire Xia Kingdom.

The special effect of the first level of the "Azure Dragon Crossing Calamity Technique" is: Dragon Shedding!

Each time a bone acupoint is opened, the physical strength increases by 5% along with the increase in skill level!

At this moment, Ye Li has already broken through 25 bone acupoints. Once he replaces his true qi with the true qi of crossing tribulations, his physical attributes can increase by another 125%! This is outrageous. Ye Li had previously heard that other body-refining techniques only increase physical attributes by 2% or 3% each time acupoint is broken!

As a result, if you were on the first level, the difference would be 5%, and over time, the gap would be astonishing.

This is outrageous, it's cheating, they're not even acting anymore!

But damn it, this is the kind of treatment I deserve as the main character!

Ye Li opened her eyes and looked at Zheng Tong in shock.

No wonder the old guy could hit two blue entries with green ones; he'd been hiding this monstrous cultivation technique all along.

Previously, relying on his terrifying physical strength, he blocked Wang Luhe's full-force palm strike without using his internal energy.

So it was all foreshadowing!

Zheng Tong slowly said, "Although this technique is very effective, it requires a human body to cultivate the dragon method, making it extremely difficult to break through. This is why I have been stuck at the half-step innate realm for so many years."

"If it weren't for your amazing comprehension of the terms, and the critical situation at this moment, I would have considered passing on to you a normal cultivation method that is easy to learn and master." "That would have been bad for me," Ye Li thought to himself.

He doesn't need to worry about not being able to break through; what he lacks now is combat power!

Currently, this technique completes the last piece of his puzzle, and he only needs to transform his internal energy to achieve another leap in combat power.

Moreover… Ye Li looked at the screen and saw: “Azure Dragon Crossing Calamity Technique (1/100)”.

Although I don't know why I only need this little bit of experience, it means I can generate keywords again!

Zheng Tong had already lost too much blood, and he had been forcing himself to pass on his knowledge and answer questions. At this moment, his spirits were clearly weakened, and his face looked even more ashen.

He swallowed a pill, barely managed to gather his strength, and waved his hand, saying, "You may leave now. Focus on transforming your true energy and solidifying your foundation."

"Regarding martial arts... you can consult Elder Jiang. As for me... I need to rest for a few days." His voice lowered, revealing deep fatigue.

Upon seeing this, Ye Li bowed deeply and said, "Disciple thanks Master for imparting the Dharma! Please rest and recuperate!"

He didn't disturb them any longer and quietly left the dark room filled with the smell of medicine and blood.
