This sentence was originally a conjecture and extrapolation by Madam Li’s father, his martial arts master, about deeper realms of martial arts technique.
To Madam Li, it seed like re wishful thinking.
But Sha Lifei felt an inexplicable connection with the thod, and as he progressed, he gradually saw it take shape.
That was to rge Thunder Techniques,
transforming one’s boxing into Martial Arts!
With the "North Emperor Divine Travel Technique" for leveraging montum and having learned both the "North Emperor Yin Thunder Palm" and the "Heavenly Thunder Demon Suppressing Hamr" passed down by Yu Longzi,
the frawork had taken shape!
Li Yan practised slowly, but unlike usual, as he transitioned between punches and palms, he also incorporated the changes of hand seals.
The palm embodied Yin, utilizing the North Emperor Yin Thunder Palm.
The fist embodied Yang, utilizing the Heavenly Thunder Demon Suppressing Hamr.
The convergence of Yin and Yang Thunder Skills was also a sophisticated training thod, harnessing the power of True Thunder, one could cultivate the Thunder Sound, breaking through bottlenecks, and once again embark on the road to success.
Alas, only when Li Yan used the North Emperor Yin Thunder Palm did his palm crackle with the gathering of Yin Thunder.
The Heavenly Thunder Demon Suppressing Hamr had yet to be mastered.
To cultivate this technique, one needed to consu Thunder Qi.
Li Yan was not in a hurry.
Around the ti of the Dragon Boat Festival, thunderstorms often occurred, known as the "Dragon Boat Festival Thunder."
The current Dragon Boat Festival is quite lively, purportedly commorating the Three Lus Doctor with customs such as dragon boat races and eating zongzi.
But truth be told, it’s not really a good day.
May is commonly called the cruel month, full of taboos, and Dragon Boat Festival is considered an "evil day," where poisons abound and malevolent forces are rampant.
At the sa ti, it’s a period when heaven and earth are in harmony, Yang energy is thriving, Yin energy is erging, and the intermingling of Yin and Yang gives rise to the "Dragon Boat Festival Thunder."
It is said to be the howling of a celestial dragon, deterring all evil and promising auspiciousness for the coming year.
The occurrence of the "Dragon Boat Festival Thunder" is the best opportunity for him to cultivate the "Heavenly Thunder Demon Suppressing Hamr."
Of course, speaking of Martial Arts, one must integrate spells into the martial path. Without predecessors to lead the way, everything must be explored slowly...
...
Before he knew it, the night grew deeper.
Within the Tian Family mansion, lanterns were lit one by one.
"Co, co, everyone, drink up."
Inside the garden pavilion, Landlord Tian had arranged another banquet to entertain Li Yan and others, even having his wife and concubine co out to chat for a while.
Including so mbers of the Tian Family’s side branches.
Landlord Tian, a sly old fox, had his reasons for doing so.
Firstly, the garden also belonged to the inner residence, and hosting guests there, allowing his wife and concubine to et them, signified the importance he placed on Li Yan and the others, more than just an employnt relationship.
Secondly, it also allowed Li Yan and his party to do so discernnt.
"Good evening, gentlen."
Landlord Tian had been quite the charr in his youth, his wife a lady from a matching social standing, his concubine renowned for her beauty in the surrounding lands.
Of course, now in poor health, he no longer had such desires, both wife and concubine well into their years, and the inner residence was quite stable.
Li Yan blandly made a hand seal, secretly probing.
Landlord Tian’s wife, concubine, and several side mbers mostly looked unwell, so even pale with weakened spirits, evidently affected by so suppression technique and not yet recovered.
At least they did not seem to be demon spies.
Once these people had all left and Li Yan nodded slightly, Landlord Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head helplessly, "Tomorrow, my daughter and son-in-law will co around, and we’ll be able to visit the ancestral grave, just in ti for the festival to pay our respects."
"I just can’t understand these demons, what exactly do they want, and why they would get involved in such matters out of nowhere."
Sha Lifei laughed, "Brother Tian need not worry. They are so secretive in their actions, they must have their concerns. Now that the issue has escalated and even the Law Enforcent Hall has been alerted, they likely don’t dare cause more trouble..."
Beep!
No sooner had he finished speaking than a sharp signal arrow sound pierced the night sky.
Soon, a glow appeared in the distance.
Without waiting for Li Yan to say more, Lv San whistled, and the hawk perched on the roof beam soared into flight.
The hawk wasn’t infallible, with weaker night vision, but with the glow, it could discern sothing more.
As for Li Yan, he quickly stepped out of the pavilion, reached the corner of the wall, took two quick steps to gain montum, and jumped onto the roof beam, looking up.
Unexpectedly, the place ablaze was one he had recently visited.
It was the mansion of the Huzhou Gang’s Xu family!
