Chapter 69 - Tiger Claw Jue Hu
"Your Highness, you"ve finally woken up. It"s almost late in the morning!"
Lin Wan"er couldn"t help but reveal a sweet smile as she looked at her beautiful face, which had clearly remained unchanged."Hehe, I haven"t seen the little girl for a few days. Her figure is getting better!" Xiang Yun"s eyes swept across Lin Wan"er"s curvy body, then he smiled mischievously as he spoke.
"Crown Prince, you …" Lin Wan"er had not expected Xiang Yun to tease her like this in front of the two young maidservants. Immediately, her face turned red from embarra.s.sment.The latter glared fiercely at Xiang Yun. Under the rage of her beauty, there was indeed a whole new att.i.tude. That charm of hers caused even Xiang Yun"s heart to be moved!
Xiang Yun strode forward, striding towards Lin Wan"er. Seeing his grandfather walking over with a wicked smile on his face, the little girl subconsciously retreated in fright!
Behind her was the courtyard wall, with its back against the wall. The latter had nowhere to retreat to. Xiang Yun stepped forward and used his hand to stop Lin Wan"er, who wanted to turn around and flee!
At this moment, Xiang Yun was in a very famous position in his previous life. He held Lin Wan"er against the courtyard wall, looking at her extremely nervous, shy and slightly angry face. Xiang Yun couldn"t help but reach out and pick up Lin Wan"er"s delicate chin.
The moment his fingertips touched Lin Wan"er"s soft and tender skin, Xiang Yun couldn"t help but tremble!
At the same time, Lin Wan"er"s face turned red. Her heart began to beat faster, like a little deer running around in a panic. She didn"t know whether to turn around and run or to let her son continue.The two maidservants at the side had long blushed, their hands covering their eyes and two slits on their fingers. They looked at the scene in front of them with envy and sympathy.
Although they were a bit envious of Lin Wan"er for being favored by the crown prince, everyone knew that the crown prince was known for his flowery heart. He had been looking for trouble all day; how could he fall in love with a maid?
At this moment, the distance between Xiang Yun and Lin Wan"er"s faces was less than an inch. The latter inhaled the fragrance of the orchids, and it was enough to slap Xiang Yun"s face. Seeing the pair of beautiful eyes that were as clear as autumn waves and filled with spring water, the corners of Xiang Yun"s lips curled up into a devilish smile.
"Wan"er, do you like me or not? If you do, then I"ll marry you tomorrow."
In that instant, Lin Wan"er finally could not hold back the embarra.s.sment in her heart. Her cheeks were red like the sunset as she pushed Xiang Yun away, stumbling out of the garden.
"Crown Prince, you"re such a scoundrel!" However, he didn"t say that he didn"t like it.
"Ugh …"
Xiang Yun rubbed his nose awkwardly, thinking to himself, "What"s wrong with me recently? Why do I always like to tease this girl? Furthermore, I"ve even learnt the forward stance of "Dong Dong"."
"This must be the soul of that d.a.m.ned little prince. What a shameless person!"
Xiang Yun was very immoral. He had thrown all his responsibilities onto that incomparably wronged little crown prince, but he himself had laughed heartily as he walked out of the courtyard!Over the next ten or so days, Xiang Yun remained as he had been in the past, refusing to meet any visitors and staying in his own room all day. One day, Lin Wan"er asked Xiang Yun what he had been doing in his own room.
Xiang Yun called the little girl over mysteriously and said in a low voice, "Wan"er, this prince has been practicing a secret technique in the room these past few days, able to nourish Yin and strengthen Yang, strengthen the body, and maintain the beauty. If you"re interested, come here and practice with me tonight.""No!"
The little girl rejected Xiang Yun with a single word. The latter thought to herself, "I had thought that Your Highness had changed for the better. I didn"t think that you"d still be thinking about these evils these past few days!"
What Lin Wan"er did not know was that Xiang Yun had been diligently cultivating these past few days, not slacking in the slightest.
After half a month of cultivation, Xiang Yun"s cultivation had become very stable. The Art of Creation had become even more fluid and smooth, and his control over the power of the clouds had become much smoother as well.
More importantly, during this period of his cultivation, Xiang Yun had truly comprehended the wondrous uses of Turtle Resting Technique.
During this half month, Xiang Yun did not sleep at night. Instead, he circulated his Turtle-Breath Technique to cultivate and naturally entered a state of mysterious sleep!
This state continued for an entire night. Every time Xiang Yun woke up, he would feel his body becoming increasingly light, his senses increasingly sharp, even his spiritual force gradually increasing!
This was not the greatest surprise to Xiang Yun. What shocked Xiang Yun the most was that as long as he circulated the Turtle Resting Art, even in his sleep, his Art of Creation would still slowly circulate, absorbing the cloud energy between heaven and earth!
This caused Xiang Yun to be overjoyed. Although the circulation speed of the Art of Creation was very slow when cultivating the Turtle-Snake Art, it was still an extraordinary matter.One must know that unless an ordinary cultivator reached the Earth Cloud Realm, they would be able to form Cloud Pills, absorb the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, and then have their Qi flow by itself.
Otherwise, even Mystic Cloud experts would consume a considerable amount of mental power by circulating their Cloud Power. It was impossible for them to train for twelve hours a day, so they had to take some time to rest and recover their mental strength!
Now that Xiang Yun had learned the Turtle-Breath Technique, he could really cultivate even if he fell asleep. Not only that, he could also strengthen his mental strength. This was truly a wonderful thing. How could it not cause Xiang Yun to be wild with joy!
At this moment, he finally understood that he had underestimated this technique. Even in the Legend of the Condor Heroes, w.a.n.g Zhong Yang was still a tyrannical legendary figure, yet he still cultivated this technique.
This martial art was a growth-type martial arts. If he trained it diligently, there would definitely be a greater advantage in the future!Therefore, Xiang Yun had not been idle these past few days. He cultivated the Art of Creation in the morning.
After noon, he began cultivating the Divine Path "Hundred Transformations Movement Technique. This was also a growth type martial art, so naturally, he needed to practice it more. At night, Xiang Yun would cultivate the Turtle Resting Technique and sleep all the way until the morning of the next day!
Day after day like this, Xiang Yun"s room had practically become his secluded cultivation abode. From the early morning of the sixth day of March until the night of the sixth, a ghostly wailing sound rang out from within the quiet and eerie crown prince"s room!
"Ah my G.o.d, how could it be you!"
Xiang Yun"s voice could really be described as sorrowful and sorrowful. Those who did not know him would think that he was that filial son of a filial son who cried his heart out at night.
At this moment, as Xiang Yun looked at the glittering martial arts manual < tiger="" claw="" extinguishing="" hand=""> in his mind, tears were almost falling down his cheeks!
"I just want a normal, cool, and cool martial arts manual, don"t you think? You darn system, why can"t you satisfy such a small request of mine!"
Xiang Yun had thumped his chest and stamped his feet, his grief and indignation unable to be appeased!Over the past few days, other than cultivating, Xiang Yun"s greatest expectation was the lottery system for the seventh day of March. He was filled with antic.i.p.ation, hoping to be able to obtain a martial arts manual with a formidable offensive power.
As a result, he did not rest until midnight on the sixth day of the third month, when the system informed him that he could proceed with the lottery draw.
Naturally, Xiang Yun was filled with antic.i.p.ation as he entered the system. This time, the system"s lottery draw was slightly different from the one held during the previous holiday. However, it was not much different.The main reason was because of the changes made to the secret martial arts technique. Other than the Heart-Piercing Dragon Claw Hands and the Arhat Saber Art, there was another martial art, the《 Tiger Claw Extinguishing Hand》!
Amongst the three martial arts, the one Xiang Yun did not want to obtain the most was this Tiger Claws. Just by hearing the name of this martial arts technique, one could tell how vicious and sinister it was.
Xiang Yun naturally knew the origins of this martial art. This was a martial art created by Wu Dang Sect"s Zhang Sanfeng"s second disciple, "Yu Lianzhou", from "Dragon Slaying The Sky".When Yu Lianzhou created this martial art, she was named "Tiger Claw Method". The latter thought that its power was not bad, so she showed it to her master Zhang Sanfeng.
When Zhang Sanfeng saw this martial arts technique, he was so angry that he almost knocked his second disciple"s head off. He directly said that this martial arts technique was too insidious and even asked Yu Lianzhou to change it to the《 Tiger Claw Beheading Hand》!
The so-called "Jue Hu" naturally meant to take advantage of the enemy and sever the evil martial art of the enemy"s heir!Of course, Xiang Yun did not wish for him to be able to cultivate this kind of sinister martial art. His heart still rested on the "Piercing Heart Dragon Claws", both of which were hands-on skills. However, while one was a dragon"s claw while the other was a Jue Hu, Xiang Yun"s att.i.tude towards them was vastly different.
However, the problem lay in the fact that these two techniques were actually linked together on the Lottery Disc. This time, Xiang Yun had absorbed the previous experience, and when he called for it to stop, it was purposely a little late.He had originally thought that the speck of light would land steadily on the Pinnacle Piercing Heart Dragon Claw"s claw, but who would have thought that the speck of light would leap over the area where the dragon"s claw was located, entering the area where the tiger"s paw had been. At that time, Xiang Yun had been so angered that he nearly stomped his legs, fainting on the spot!
"It"s over, it"s all over …" Xiang Yun"s face was filled with despair.
"In the future when I fight, if I don"t play dead, I will use the method of monkey peach picking. I"m finished!"
Xiang Yun could almost imagine how embarra.s.sing it would be if he were to use his tiger claw Jue Hu in front of all these heroes in the future and grab his opponent in front of them. Where would he put his old face?
"Oh my G.o.d, can you stop messing with me? Worse comes to worse, I won"t tease you anymore. Give me back my dragon claw."No matter how much Xiang Yun howled, he could only accept it helplessly in the end. After all, if one wanted to live a strong life, one had to learn to enjoy it if they couldn"t resist. Xiang Yun was the best example of this right now.
This was the first offensive martial arts manual that he had drawn. He had to practice it well or else he would be able to use it in a place with fewer people.
Just like this, Xiang Yun helplessly practiced the Tiger Claws. However, after the latter had deciphered this martial art"s secret manual, he had not cultivated it again. There was no way he could find a suitable method to cultivate it.
Another night pa.s.sed."I wonder when I"ll be able to surpa.s.s that guy?"
In the evening, in the time before he cultivated the Turtle-Breath Technique, Xiang Yun lay on his bed, his mind drifting as he stared at the snow-white bed curtain.
It was as if he could see the pair of cold and mocking eyes of the middle-aged man from the distant prince"s mansion in Silver City!
In front of him, Xiang Yun was so insignificant, not even worth mentioning. It was likely that with his current self, he could kill him with a single glance!
Thinking back to that day in the arena, the latter had unhesitatingly slapped him twice, his expression as cold as ice, and Xiang Yun couldn"t help but clench his fists tightly. His knuckles were white, and his fingers were practically sinking into his palms!
"Just you wait. Sooner or later, I will stand in front of you, and I will defeat you!"
Xiang Yun"s eyes suddenly became incomparably bright. With a flip of his body, he sat down cross-legged on the bed once more. With a thought, his Turtle Resting Technique began to circulate once more!Xiang Yun had originally wanted to go into closed-door cultivation for another month just like this, to raise his strength to the realm of a Four Clouds martial pract.i.tioner.
Unexpectedly, on the afternoon of the second day, when the latter was cultivating the G.o.dly Path"s Hundred Transformations Steps, a clamor came from outside the courtyard. It was followed by the wail of a pig being slaughtered!
"Boss, boss save me, hurry up and save me!" Hey, don"t stop me, I want to see boss! "
Xiang Yun"s heart could not help but be shocked upon hearing this. He hurriedly stopped swimming and arrived before the door, pushing it open to look outside. His eyes immediately widened, thinking that he had seen wrongly!
In the distance, at the entrance of the yard, there was a huge, round, naked body that looked like a meatball charging towards the entrance.It was indeed an object, because this fellow was simply too fat. He didn"t even have a neck or a thigh, and his entire body was covered in meat. If one were to describe this person, then it could be said that he looked like anything.
At this moment, the meatball was trying its best to rush into the yard. Two servants on both sides of the door were trying their best to pull on his shoulders, dragging him out of the yard. As they dragged him, they shouted, "Hurry, someone come! A Cloud Beast is about to break into the Crown Prince"s courtyard! Grab it!"
"F * cking bullsh * t! I am a human! I am not a Cloud Beast!" The ball of meat let out an angry roar!
