Chapter 038 Meridians and Veins Contain Qi
Mingtong and Lin Fei were reunited after a long separation, but this was not the place to reminisce.
Master Yongcheng spoke up, "Since the parties involved have no objections, let them have another match. What does Junior Nephew Yuanzhen think?"
Now that things had come to this, Yuanzhen had no reason to stop them anymore, so he could only step aside with a cold face and say, "Since the sect leader says so, let them have another match!"
"Alright, you two, go down to the arena and compete!" Master Yongcheng nodded, and Lin Fei and Mingtong returned to the plaza.
The two hadn't seen each other for three years. During those three years, Lin Fei had been guarding the Demon-Subduing Tower and hadn't stepped outside once. The Demon-Subduing Tower was a forbidden area of the sect, and disciples were not allowed to enter easily, let alone Ming Tong, who was just a young disciple of the Wenqu Temple.
Three years have passed, and things have changed. Lin Fei has grown into a handsome and accomplished young man. Ming Tong is no longer the little kid he once was.
Ming Tong looked at Lin Fei, unable to hide his joy, and cupped his hands in greeting, saying with a smile, "Senior Brother, please enlighten me!"
Lin Fei smiled and nodded in return: "Little guy, let me see just how much you've grown in these three years!"
"I definitely won't let my senior brother down!" Ming Tong got into a fighting stance and attacked Lin Fei.
Lin Fei, too, channeled his inner energy and launched an attack.
"Ding!"
"The Great Nine Heavens Palm Technique's perfected attribute—Nine Heavens Net activated! The Nine Heavens Net leaves no place undetected. Each use of the Great Nine Heavens Palm Technique increases attack power by 5%. If the attack is interrupted, the martial arts' power is reduced by 50%!"
……
Lin Fei used the Great Nine Heavens Palm Technique. This palm technique is extremely fierce, with exceptionally powerful attacks. When Lin Fei unleashed it, countless palm shadows filled the sky, seemingly forming a net that completely enveloped Ming Tong.
Mingtong's fist technique, though seemingly slow, always managed to block Lin Fei's attacks at the most crucial moments, preventing Lin Fei's barrage of palm strikes from getting close.
Their martial arts styles seemed to be completely opposite. Lin Fei's movements became faster and faster as he fought, while Ming Tong's movements became slower and slower.
Within a few meters of the two, it seemed that Lin Fei's palm shadows were everywhere. Ming Tong's true energy, on the other hand, was extremely restrained, shrinking into a sphere. It seemed to move slowly and leisurely, but it always managed to block Lin Fei's attacks at crucial moments, forcing Lin Fei to change his moves to avoid his techniques being broken and his martial arts power being reduced.
Lin Fei's Great Nine Heavens Palm Technique was incredibly powerful, but it also consumed a great deal of energy. Gradually, Lin Fei felt that most of his true energy in his dantian had been depleted, and sweat was beading on his nose, yet he still couldn't break through Ming Tong's defense.
"Is this the Empty Fist? What an amazing fist technique! This little guy always seems to be able to foresee the future. Indeed, there are always people more skilled than you, and mountains beyond mountains!" Lin Fei couldn't help but nod inwardly. He really hadn't expected Ming Tong to be able to cultivate the Empty Fist to this level and contend with his already mastered Great Nine Heavens Palm Technique.
Ming Tong, on the other hand, seemed to have entered a very mysterious state. He could often block Lin Fei's attacks with a casual gesture, as if he could predict Lin Fei's moves.
"This is... Utter Emptiness and Clarity?" The abbots above were astonished to see Mingtong seemingly enter an extremely profound state: "He actually managed to cultivate the Emptiness and Clarity Fist to this supreme level! Utter Emptiness and Clarity, foresight and insight. Even among the true disciples, almost no one can achieve this!"
"Only those with a pure and clear mind, without the heart of a child, can cultivate the Empty and Bright Fist to this highest realm of 'utmost emptiness and clarity'!" Master Yongcheng nodded slightly: "It seems that his previous opponent had not yet brought out his full potential. This little fellow is truly a rare talent!"
"Ultimate emptiness and ultimate clarity? Very well." Yuanzhen's face revealed a cold smile: "It seems that despicable fellow has finally fallen into the hands of this little Taoist boy!"
……
Lin Fei's internal energy was almost depleted, but instead of being discouraged, he was filled with pride and laughed heartily, "Little guy, these three years of your life have truly not been wasted. Your senior brother cannot lose to you!"
His internal energy was almost completely depleted, but his punching speed not only didn't slow down, it actually got faster and faster. It was so fast that even Ming Tong, who had already entered the "Ultimate Emptiness and Clarity" realm, felt somewhat strained in defending against it.
Wisps of pale purple gas seeped through Lin Fei's skin, evaporating from his body like steam. Lin Fei was completely enveloped in this layer of true energy.
"This is... Qi storage in the meridians?" The abbots above were shocked once again: "This kid can actually store true qi in his meridians! How powerful must his physical body be? He's practically on par with a Body Tempering Realm expert with over a hundred acupoints!"
"The meridians are filled with Qi. I never imagined that there would be a disciple in Wenqu Temple who could cultivate to such a level in the Qi Accumulation Realm!" Other elders also exclaimed, "This child's potential is limitless! To reach such a level in the Qi Accumulation Realm, he might even reach the 'Purple Qi Comes from the East' realm in the Acupoint Realm in the future!"
"Excellent, excellent!" Master Yongcheng's face beamed with joy. "Perfect emptiness and clarity, meridians brimming with energy. I never imagined that two such rare talents would emerge in this competition! Truly, Heaven blesses our Jade Emperor Sect!"
……
Lin Fei had already reached the peak of the Qi Accumulation Realm, but he had been suppressing his cultivation and was not in a hurry to break through.
This was also thanks to the extreme cold and heat of demonic energy he had endured over the past three years, which made his physical body and bones exceptionally resilient. The true energy within his dantian was already full, and the remaining true energy did not dissipate completely, but automatically entered the meridians throughout his body and was stored there.
At this moment, Lin Fei was attacking with all his might, having entered a state of complete absorption. His true energy automatically emanated from his meridians. Since his acupoints were not yet open, he couldn't absorb and store true energy through them. The dissipated true energy instead emanated through his skin, completely enveloping him in a faint purple aura.
Lin Fei seemed to be getting stronger and stronger with each battle, while Ming Tong was already starting to feel the strain.
He used the Empty Fist for defense, and his internal energy consumption was clearly less than Lin Fei's. However, he couldn't withstand it, as Lin Fei had stored a large amount of internal energy throughout his meridians. Originally, Ming Tong should have been able to wear Lin Fei down with his tortoise-shell-like defense, but now, it was Ming Tong who couldn't hold on any longer.
Mingtong seized the opportunity, deflected Lin Fei's attack, and suddenly pulled back, jumping directly out of Lin Fei's attack range.
"I admit defeat!" Ming Tong shook his head with a wry smile, panting heavily, "Senior brother is truly amazing, I have no true energy left."
Ming Tong's true energy was completely exhausted, and there was no chance of winning if he continued to fight. He had no choice but to admit defeat.
