By the lakeside.
The lake water rippled rhythmically, and as Lin Chen perford the Wind and Cloud Palm, the sound of the water lapping against the shore also quickened.
Kong Qifeng quietly watched Lin Chen perform the Wind and Cloud Palm, his old eyes filled with contemplation.
Lin Chen did not stop after demonstrating the first six moves of the Wind and Cloud Palm, because Lord Kong had not called a halt.
Once, twice, three tis...
When he perford it for the fifth ti, Kong Qifeng suddenly raised his right hand, and in an instant, the wind ceased, the water cald, and the lake surface was undisturbed.
Lin Chen only felt an irresistible force that froze the Qi Blood throughout his body at that mont. However, the next mont, the force vanished, and the Qi Blood inside him, like a raging river that was suddenly damd from above, roared and poured forward as the dam disappeared.
The Seventh Palm!
The Qi Blood within Lin Chen reached a climax at that mont, and a faint blood glow reappeared over his body as his palm sliced through the air, producing a resounding roar.
The air itself seed to explode.
Withdrawing his palm.
Lin Chen looked at his slightly trembling right hand, a bright glint in his eyes. His hand trembled because the terrifying power released by this palm was beyond his current control.
Without that force that initially imprisoned his Qi Blood and then instantaneously ignited it, he could not have possibly executed this seventh move.
This move is worth pondering over slowly.
"Thank you for your guidance, my lord."
Lin Chen bowed to Kong Qifeng, whose eyes glinted with insight, "The abundance of your internal Qi Blood is rare to see in a hundred years. Even so Viscera-Refining Martial Artists rarely possess such Qi Blood. Logically, only youths from other countries can reach this level."
Observing Lin Chen’s Wind and Cloud Palm, Kong Qifeng could discern that Lin Chen’s internal Qi Blood was exceedingly abundant, far surpassing other youths in Liang.
As the head of the Military Affairs Departnt, he had seen many geniuses in Liang. However, even Pei Qingming in his pri could not match half of Lin Chen’s Qi Blood.
"Only youths from other countries can achieve this?"
Lin Chen also had so curiosity in his eyes regarding Lord Kong’s words. Why could only youths from other countries do this? Could Liang not achieve it?
"Our Liang’s stance towards the Demon Race is to kill on sight, but so countries are different. Take the Zheng Kingdom, for instance. Their Royal Family itself is allied with the Demon Race, and the Noble Families follow suit, selecting potential family mbers to integrate with the bloodline of the Demon Race, as the Qi Blood of the Demon Race far surpasses that of the Human Race."
Noticing Lin Chen’s confusion, Kong Qifeng explained. This is also why, although Martial Path prospers in Liang, it is slightly inferior to the top combat power of the Eight Kingdoms.
"I see."
Lin Chen nodded. He could understand Lord Kong’s words, which implied that those countries allowed so youths to integrate and absorb the bloodline of the Demon Race. So Demon Race mbers are naturally powerful or incredibly fast, which is their advantage over the Human Race.
With bloodline fusion, these youths naturally beco innately powerful or astonishingly fast, with much more abundant Qi Blood within.
"The abundant Qi Blood of a disciple should be related to the Cultivation Technique I practice. When I initially went to the Special Training Ground, I encountered Senior Zhao..."
Lin Chen briefly recounted his experience of following Senior Zhao’s dicinal baths at the Special Training Ground.
Kong Qifeng nodded, "I have reviewed this part of your journey. This cultivation thod is too extre, with high demands on the practitioner. Frankly, besides you, I fear no one else could achieve it."
Extre Martial Artists, astonishing comprehension, and astonishing perseverance, all while enduring that pain...
For a child from a low-class family to bring glory to Liang, the hardships he endures must be several tis that of an ordinary person.
"With your current Qi Blood, after entering the Refining Viscera Realm, ordinary viscera cultivation thods won’t suit you. I will select a suitable viscera cultivation thod for you..."
Hearing that Lord Kong intended to choose a viscera cultivation thod for him, Lin Chen hesitated for a mont and then truthfully said, "My lord, I once acquired a viscera cultivation thod nad Nine Revolutions True Blood Refining the Viscera at Martial Arts Mountain."
"Nine Revolutions True Blood Refining the Viscera?"
Kong Qifeng pondered. He was familiar with all the cultivation techniques within Liang, but he had never heard of such a thod. Could it be... from that place?
"Since it is a Cultivation Technique passed to you by Martial Arts Mountain, it is naturally the most suitable for you. However, do not speak of the na of this technique to others. If anyone inquires, simply say it’s a viscera secret technique from Liang, awarded to you by the Military Affairs Departnt."
"My lord, is there sothing special about this Cultivation Technique?"
Seeing the solemn look in Kong Qifeng’s eyes, Lin Chen felt sowhat puzzled. After all, it was just a viscera cultivation technique. Should it be of little consequence to Lord Kong?
"Just rember my words."
Kong Qifeng did not explain to Lin Chen, as it involved so matters related to the Grand Ancestor Emperor, and apart from a few mbers of the Royal Family, only their ranks of First-Grade Martial Artists knew of the inside story in Liang.
As if fearing his serious expression would cause Lin Chen any reservations, Kong Qifeng’s face broke into a smile once again and said, "I hear you’re following Pei Qingming’s example, planning to select a Martial Arts Academy only after breaking through the Refining Viscera Realm?"
"It’s not that I am imitating Senior Pei. How can I compare to Senior Pei’s natural talent? I just want to secure the best conditions for myself. The more tis my na is recorded at Martial Arts Mountain, the better the offerings from the Academy."
Lin Chen scratched his head, with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face.
"You are candid."
Kong Qifeng was quite pleased with Lin Chen’s response, "In terms of martial talent, you are still sowhat short of Pei Qingming, but your strength is in Qi Blood. From this perspective, Canglan Martial Arts Academy is the best fit for you. It’s near the Eastern Sea, where there are many Sea Demons, providing advantages in nourishing Qi Blood."
