But no matter which of these techniques, they all seem "too exquisite".
A Barbarian is not suited for refinent, that gives one a feeling of "Zhang Fei doing embroidery".
Li Yuan quickly adjusted direction.
’An unstoppable montum, keen perception, combined with pure speed and strength. Nothing too complicated...’
He lowered his head, drawing on the ground, occasionally erasing with his hand to redraw.
The firelight made him gleam with life, like the Taiyang God.
And out of reverence, no one dared to approach, dared to disturb, except for Zhenyan Xue who would occasionally run over.
Whoosh...
Li Yuan tossed aside the branch, leaned back looking at the fire, contemplation in his eyes.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if he had gained so insight.
...
A few days later.
Li Yuan, accompanied by Zhenyan Xue, Zhenyan Xiong, and the Zhenyan Heichi couple, along with Chen Na and Xiaobai, arrived at a barren mountain outside the Frozen Soil, beside Suiye City.
Zhenyan Xiong was a staunch supporter of the Barbarian King.
And the Zhenyan Heichi couple, Chen Na, were die-hard loyalists of the Barbarian King. Li Yuan intended to use them to test the martial skill, or rather the training thod, he had pondered over.
Xiaobai, the wolf cub, had grown a lot, and no longer displayed the typical playfulness and cuteness of an ordinary young wolf, but instead showed a kind of vigilance, sharpness, and ferocity.
It was the Demon Beast tad by Li Yuan, the only one among the five wolf cubs that survived.
When it was very young, it had already brushed against the edge of death.
At this mont, it was knee-high, and its white fur fluttered in the mountain wind.
In the wolf’s eyes, Li Yuan’s current teaching thod for the few individuals was reflected.
"Bursting."
He calmly spoke the two words, then raised his hand to point at the sun in the sky at this mont, saying, "Sunlight shines everywhere, countless rays all originate from the sun’s own strength.
Therefore, with a single strike, one should, like the sun, release strength, spread it out. No need for penetration, no need for covert force, it must be open and formidable, shattering everything outright."
Then, without reaching for the Barbarian King’s Axe on his back, he grabbed a normal axe brought from Suiye, Eighth Company, and Falling Wood, raised his hand, and said: "Watch closely."
With those words, he raised it and chopped towards the rock on the side.
Boom!!!
The rock seed to suffer a heavy blow, shattering completely, exploding into pieces.
The fragnts shot out like arrows, flying far away.
Zhenyan Xue admired Li Yuan, no matter what the Barbarian King did, he was always so handso.
While Zhenyan Heichi, Zhenyan Rong, and Chen Na blinked blankly because... they could do that too.
Wasn’t it just breaking a rock?
With a casual slap, they could break even bigger rocks than that.
However, suddenly around them ca the subtle sound of "crack crack crack", "boom boom boom".
Following the sound, they saw that the stone fragnts that had just shattered flew out and destroyed all the rocks and trees they touched...
From this, it’s evident how astonishing the power of that single strike was.
Li Yuan glanced at Zhenyan Xiong, "The power I just used was about the sa size as yours."
Zhenyan Xiong hesitated, he drew the axe he was carrying and tried himself.
Bang!
The rock shattered, but lacked the explosive, scattering force.
He showed a contemplative expression.
Li Yuan said: "This is actually a kind of force connection, just when you swing the axe, various forces will stack together.
Whether it’s the force from your feet, legs, waist, back, arms;
Or the centrifugal force produced by the swing, they all connect as one...
But among these connections, the most important is to mobilize the Yang Qi in our flesh as much as possible.
Various forces, like a hundred rivers converging in the sea, stack together at the mont they hit the target, producing a trendous Bursting Force at the axe’s edge."
He spread his hands, "The grip should be at the end of the axe handle...and the longer the axe handle, the greater the Bursting Force can be exerted. However, the core is still to mobilize the Yang Qi."
Zhenyan Xiong said in astonishnt: "Barbarian King, how...how do you mobilize the Yang Qi?"
Li Yuan replied: "Anger."
"Anger..."
Zhenyan Xiong seed thoughtful, apparently, he had so experience, but he hadn’t seriously thought about it before.
A scene flashed through Li Yuan’s mind from the past "the first ti he went to the Divine Tomb", when Zhenyan Xue, thinking he was killed, beca enraged, thus unleashing power that exceeded usual, and quickly escaped carrying him on her back.
Anger can quicken the blood flow.
With quickened blood flow, paired with exerting force, it can converge the Yang Qi within the flesh.
Li Yuan continued: "Imagine the thing that makes you most angry, then rember that mont’s state, then channel this power, it’s that simple."
With that, he demonstrated once more.
This strike incorporated both the Heart Skill and Power.
Zhenyan Xiong, the Zhenyan Heichi couple, Chen Na, and Zhenyan Xue all followed to cultivate.
Soon, the weakest among them, Zhenyan Rong managed to smash the rock with one axe strike, but couldn’t replicate it again.
Over a day, Zhenyan Rong succeeded twice, while Zhenyan Xue, Zhenyan Heichi, and Chen Na succeeded once, and Zhenyan Xiong didn’t succeed at all...
"The coordination of power is difficult, difficult to stack together at the mont of striking." Zhenyan Xiong said with a wry smile.
Li Yuan patted his shoulder and said, "Don’t be discouraged."
He also understood that to use martial skills to enhance one’s strength, it’s easier the lower the Realm.
Then it’s up to rigorous practice.
One month later...
Zhenyan Rong had made so progress, out of ten axe strikes, could succeed two or three tis.
Zhenyan Xiong had only succeeded a few tis, but this trendous power brought him great joy.
Li Yuan observed them, pondering again, in his mind, many things that were previously vague started to beco slightly clearer.
