"How was it?" Chu Zhiyuan asked.
Li Yuzhen hurriedly said, "Again!"
Chu Zhiyuan once again concentrated his palm force, a hand seal appeared, with two small dragons faintly visible in the palm.
This ti, Li Yuzhen didn’t take it directly. Her white hand pressed lightly, and a hand seal appeared in the void, colliding with Chu Zhiyuan’s palm force.
"Pop."
The two hand seals collided in mid-air, like pebbles thrown into a deep well.
All around was silent, with no howling winds, no overflowing palm force.
Chu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow.
He knew Li Yuzhen’s swordsmanship was impressive, as most martial artists of the Phoenix Dynasty preferred swords.
Even the Imperial Family primarily focused on swordsmanship.
Unexpectedly, Li Yuzhen’s hand skills were equally formidable.
The Heavenly Dragon Divine Palm was considered extrely yang and domineering, yet it could be neutralized like that.
This palm force was truly unusual.
"Once more."
Chu Zhiyuan tried to activate the Third Form of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Palm.
He moved slowly, gently pushing his right palm.
A hand seal reappeared about an inch from his hand.
The hand seal was clearly visible, the center was a bit blurry, with three dragons faintly discernible.
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head silently.
This Third Form seed sowhat forced; clearly, he hadn’t practiced enough or well enough.
"Pop!"
Li Yuzhen launched her palm again. Her fair hand conjured a hand seal that collided with Chu Zhiyuan’s.
The pebble-in-the-lake sound echoed again.
The wind howled.
The nearby green bamboo shook violently, rustling loudly.
Chu Zhiyuan, Li Yuzhen, and the nearby Li Miaotan all had their clothes fluttering.
Li Yuzhen praised, "Prince Consort, your hand skills are excellent."
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, "Can they break through Young Marquis Ming’s defense?"
Li Yuzhen hesitated.
Chu Zhiyuan snorted and said, "Speak frankly."
"...Still a bit lacking."
"Hmm, understood, still quite a way to go," Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
Li Yuzhen smiled awkwardly.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "I just began practicing this Heavenly Dragon Divine Palm, barely reaching the Third Form. Let’s continue practicing and see."
Li Yuzhen pondered.
She recalled the differences between Chu Zhiyuan’s first, second, and third palm techniques.
Each palm brought earth-shattering changes, with strong power, increased penetration, and even directly shook the spirit.
After thinking, she said, "Prince Consort, if this trend continues, the Fourth Form should suffice."
"Just the Fourth Form will do?"
"For absolute certainty, it should be the Fifth Form."
"Alright, then the Fifth Form it is," Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
The presence of the Dragon Subduing Scripture, Heavenly Dragon Introduction, and Dragon Thought made practicing the Heavenly Dragon Divine Palm incredibly easy.
The cultivation of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Palm fundantally required Dragon Intent; comprehending Dragon Intent, and coupled with precise postures, it could be mastered.
Of course, the Heavenly Dragon Bloodline was a prerequisite for cultivation.
Both were indispensable, and he possessed them both; only ti was lacking.
When displayed, the Heavenly Dragon Divine Palm seed commonplace, just a usual palm push.
But each palm’s subtle movents were different, becoming increasingly complex and precise.
The power of the Heavenly Dragon Bloodline differed from True Yuan, having no concept of ridians.
Power circulated and spread around the body, moving with the flow of the blood.
Just like those who do not know martial arts use power based on the ingenuity of the technique.
When the technique was executed, the power naturally reached its target.
And the strength and purity of the power depended on which transformation the Heavenly Dragon Introduction had reached.
And then there was the technique’s intricacy.
The Second Form was the Power of Double Dragons, the Third Form the Three Dragons Power, and the Fourth Form the Four Dragon Power.
If the Ninth Form was mastered, it would be the Power of Nine Dragons, the true limit.
Power of Double Dragons was stronger than Power of One Dragon in not just quantity but also penetration power.
The power of the Heavenly Dragon Bloodline inherently possessed this attribute: strong, domineering, and penetrating, which the Heavenly Dragon Divine Palm amplified.
Li Miaotan shook her head beside him.
Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile, "Don’t worry, I won’t casually start anything with him."
Li Miaotan said, "Yuzhen, go to Marquis Ming’s Mansion now and tell him to behave and not make trouble."
"Yes, Your Highness," Li Yuzhen nodded solemnly.
Li Miaotan snorted, "Test his current cultivation and let him know his place."
"Understood," Li Yuzhen smiled, "I’ll make sure to teach him a good lesson!"
In her mind, she imagined how to teach him, and to what extent.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Don’t be too complacent, or it could backfire."
Li Yuzhen laughed, "Prince Consort, you’re underestimating ."
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Always expect the unexpected. Young Marquis Ming might experience a sudden growth or have a fortuitous encounter."
"...Understood," Li Yuzhen restrained her smile and replied solemnly, "I’ll be cautious."
If she lost to Young Marquis Ming, it would be embarrassing personally, but losing face for Your Highness was a serious matter.
"Go," Li Miaotan said.
Li Yuzhen prepared to leave.
Fu Zheng hurriedly said, "Sister Li, I’ll accompany you."
"...Alright," Li Yuzhen smiled, "Having Sister Fu along is the best."
At crucial monts it might as well be two against one, no need to adhere strictly to rules.
With two venerable figures joining forces, he wouldn’t be able to withstand it.
Young Marquis Ming excelled in battle formations and battlefield combat, but not in individual fights.
——
Chu Zhiyuan wisely bid farewell and left, not staying with Li Miaotan.
Although Li Miaotan was incredibly beautiful, he didn’t want to beco too involved.
If true feelings were stirred, that would be the start of trouble, losing composure and ntal state.
He returned to his courtyard and began practicing the Heavenly Dragon Divine Palm.
He flashed into Spiritual Abyss First Peak and first practiced Spiritual Abyss Body Cleansing Record once.
The power of the Spiritual Abyss surged in, continuously washing his feet.
In feeling, his feet continued to expand, rging further with the mountain peak and earth.
His stepping speed also kept increasing.
It increasingly resembled shrinking ground into inches.
After finishing practicing the Spiritual Abyss Body Cleansing Record, he began practicing the Heavenly Dragon Divine Palm.
The cultivation of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Palm relied on skill, precision, and practice.
A level of control over fine body movents.
He possessed a unique advantage in this aspect due to his Super Sensing.
When others practiced, they often couldn’t see their own form, whether their techniques were distorted, speed fast or slow, making precise sensing difficult.
Even facing a mirror, it was hard to see clearly.
Super Sensing allowed him to perceive details minutely, observing coldly, constantly adjusting and correcting.
Enabling extrely precise movents.
But the level of practice couldn’t be bypassed.
Compared to ntal thods, it was even harder.
ntal thods were driven by intent, and with strong spiritual power and precise mory, where the mind led, True Yuan followed.
But this pure external skill required practice again and again to form muscle mory; ntal understanding wasn’t enough.
It needed to flow extrely smoothly to be executed without error.
Especially during confrontations, in tense, anxious, angry, or other intense emotions, it had to be perford precisely.
He continuously practiced the Heavenly Dragon Divine Palm on Spiritual Abyss Peak.
A constant stream of force from the Void Red Dragon provided him with strong power, for him to freely use.
During this process, his body underwent further nourishnt and strengthening.
This aided him in entering the next transformation of the Heavenly Dragon Introduction.
Ti passed swiftly.
Returning from Spiritual Abyss Peak to his courtyard, he looked up to find the sun was already setting.
A Super Sensing scan revealed the figures of Fu Zheng and Li Yuzhen.
Seeing their appearance, Chu Zhiyuan furrowed his brow.
They were both injured.
