Chapter 117
byThe sound of fists rumbled, and stone chips flew in all directions. Accompanied by Yang Kai’s successive punches, this strange stone statue also shook continuously.
It had always been silent and didn’t attack like the other stone statues.
But Yang Kai was keenly aware that every time he attacked this stone statue, it would absorb a portion of the True Yang Yuan Qi he emitted.
As time passed, a faint red glow actually rippled on this stone statue, and the Yang Attribute Yuan Qi fluctuation emitted from its body was exactly the same as Yang Kai’s.
Kacha cha…
The big hand of this stone statue seemed to move slightly, and Yang Kai’s heart skipped a beat. He suddenly understood.
It was indeed absorbing the Yuan Qi attached to his attacks as power to make itself move. However, the amount of Yuan Qi absorbed was too little to support it in making too large movements.
After understanding this point, instead of stopping, Yang Kai’s attacks became even more ruthless.
Let’s see if you move first or if I smash you first! With a stubbornness in his heart, Yang Kai was throwing punches crazily.
The fist was a mass of bloody mess. The hardness of this stone statue was much, much stronger than the others.
Kacha cha… The stone statue absorbed more and more Yuan Qi, and the amplitude of its movements also became larger and larger. A huge palm had been raised high, looking down at Yang Kai, and it was about to slap down.
But the position on the chest of the stone statue that was being fiercely attacked by Yang Kai was also in a mess, full of cracks.
With a swish, the palm of the stone statue slapped down at an incredible speed. Fortunately, Yang Kai was prepared and quickly dodged.
The ground trembled slightly, and a palm print appeared on the ground. Dust flew up, making Yang Kai’s clothes and hair dance continuously.
Boom boom boom…
In an instant, a ball of fire also burst out on Yang Kai’s fists, as if he was holding two burning flames in his hands. Both the speed and strength of his punches increased out of thin air.
Crash…
Accompanied by a fierce punch, a huge hole was finally punched out in the chest of this stone statue, and broken stones fell all over the ground.
Yang Kai saw a crystal-clear little stone figure inside at a glance.
He quickly reached out and took it out and stuffed it into his arms. Then he jumped up and rushed out of the deep pit before the second blow of the stone statue arrived.
Turning his head and looking around, in the distance, the dozens of stone statues that had been led away before were about to return.
Yang Kai’s face sank, and he didn’t dare to hesitate at all. He quickly increased his speed to the limit and left in a hurry.
After making a big circle outside, Yang Kai returned to the position where the four people were.
As soon as he appeared, Du Yishuang said to Yang Kai happily： “We finally got another little stone figure. Now we five people just happen to have one each.”
“Hehe, it seems my luck is not bad.” Yang Kai chuckled lightly and glanced at Lan Chudie indifferently. The latter was also looking at him with a smile. Seeing that his fists were covered in blood, she couldn’t help but step forward quickly. She actually held his hand and furrowed her brows, saying, “How did you get injured like this？”
Her appearance looked very concerned, and there was even a hint of a senior sister’s concern for a junior brother between her brows.
Yang Kai quietly withdrew his hand and said indifferently, “A few stone sculptures were chasing too tightly, so I had to move my hands and feet with them.”
A hint of astonishment flashed across Lan Chudie’s beautiful face, and then she smiled gently and said, “As long as you’re safe.”
“Let’s divide the stone people first, so that everyone can also cultivate and enhance their combat power.” Zuo An suggested on the side.
“Okay.” Lan Chudie nodded, and then took out all five small stone people collected in the past few days and placed them in front of everyone.
The number of red lines in these five small stone people is basically the same. Even if there are more, there are not many more. Although generally, the martial skills that require more meridians to be used are of a higher grade, this kind of thing is not absolute.
There are also some special martial skills. The grade is not low, but only a few meridians need to be used.
So the five people don’t know which of the martial skills hidden in these small stone people is better and which is worse. At this time, they can only rely on luck and character.
After so many days of hard work, although the harvest is very different from what was expected. But the eyes of the few people are still a little hot. The martial skills contained in these small stone figures are of the Earth Rank.
“Who will come first？” Nie Yong was eager to try. He wanted to choose first, but was afraid that he would choose a bad one and was a bit hesitant.
“I suggest that Junior Brother Yang come first. After all, he has been working hard to restrain those stone carvings these days and was just injured a little. He should be the first to choose！” Lan Chudie smiled and looked at Yang Kai.
Each person can get one, and she is quite generous. Moreover, even if you choose first, it is not necessarily the best one.
This statement is cheap, but it can win people’s hearts.
How could Yang Kai not know her thoughts? Immediately, he was not polite and nodded, saying, “Since Senior Sister said so, I will not be polite.”
After saying that, he casually grabbed a small stone figure.
Immediately after, Lan Chudie and the others also each chose one.
“The things are divided. Each of you find a place to familiarize yourself with your own martial skills first. We will gather here again after one day.” Lan Chudie gave an order.
In this strange place, having one more martial skill means having one more combat power. Although it takes a lot of time to practice martial skills, compared to the one-day effort, the hearts of the people can still accept it.
Everyone nodded and turned away one by one.
“Yang Kai, let me bandage you up.” Du Yishuang couldn’t bear to see Yang Kai’s hands covered in blood.
“Then I’ll have to trouble you.” Yang Kai didn’t decline either.
Lan Chudie, who was about to leave, heard this sentence and couldn’t help but pause in her steps. Her beautiful brows furrowed slightly, but she didn’t stay. With a flash of her figure, she disappeared.
After only Yang Kai and Du Yishuang were left, Du Yishuang bandaged Yang Kai’s hands while saying, “Later, you should check what your martial skill is. If it’s not good, I’ll exchange it with you. I’ve already cultivated a martial skill, so I don’t need this thing too much.
“No need.” Yang Kai smiled. “Since it’s a martial skill, it definitely won’t be bad.”
“As you wish.” Du Yishuang didn’t force it either. After bandaging it up in a few moments, she stood up and said, “I’m going to familiarize myself with my martial skill. See you tomorrow！”
Staring at her back, Yang Kai slowly said, “If there’s a chance, leave on your own.”
Du Yishuang replied without looking back, “I know.”
This small team isn’t reliable. Although they can unite for the time being, it’s only because everyone is unfamiliar with this place. Lan Chudie doesn’t have the qualifications of a leader. She can’t be fair, and she will only consider her own gains and losses in her heart. Such a person only has herself in her heart. When encountering danger, she won’t consider the safety of others. Following her will only lead to trouble sooner or later.
After there was no one around, Yang Kai also left and found a secluded place. He took out the two small stone figures in his arms.
Looking around, Yang Kai couldn’t help but feel a shock in his heart.
One of the small stone figurines was obtained from Lan Chudie and there was nothing special about it, almost the same as the others they had. But the small stone figurine obtained from the place where the stone carvings gathered was very different.
The lines in this small stone figurine that represented the meridians were not red but golden silk threads. Not only that, the number of these lines was also much greater.
What grade of martial skill is this？
According to Lan Chudie’s analysis, the martial skills contained in the five small stone figurines obtained were at least of the middle-rank Earth level, and very likely of the upper-rank Earth level.
And the small stone figurine he got was obviously of a much higher grade. Could it be… a Heaven-level martial skill？
This thought made Yang Kai’s breathing a lot more rapid. The decision to take this risk was indeed worthwhile.
Just the two sets of martial skills obtained were already enough to make this trip worthwhile, and this was only the beginning.
Which one should he learn first？ Looking at the two small stone figurines in his hands, Yang Kai was a bit hesitant.
The martial skill contained in the small stone figurine he got undoubtedly had a higher grade. After learning it, it would definitely be of greater help to him, but he didn’t have much time. One day’s effort might not be enough for him to learn it.
After carefully considering for a moment, Yang Kai put the small stone figurine with the golden silk threads back into his bosom and held the one obtained from Lan Chudie in the palm of his hand.
In this situation, the martial skill that can increase one’s combat power as soon as possible is the correct choice. This martial skill obtained from sharing is definitely inferior, but undoubtedly, the time required to cultivate it will not be too long, and the difficulty is also lower.
Operate the Yuan Qi and pour it into the small stone figure in the palm. Feeling the distribution and operation trajectory of the red lines in the stone figure, and at the same time comparing it with the meridians in one’s own body, in less than an hour, Yang Kai had already memorized the operation method of the Yuan Qi.
Slowly opened his eyes. Looking down, the red lines inside the small stone figure in his hand had disappeared, and even the stone figure itself had become fragmented.
It has completed its mission！ Yang Kai gently squeezed, and the stone figure turned into powder. This thing can only allow one person to understand the mystery of the martial skill within. After use, it will be damaged, which should be related to the Yuan Qi poured into it.
There is nothing to be. What a pity. Yang Kai stood up, recalled what he had comprehended from the stone figure, and the Yuan Qi in his body shuttled through the meridians.
The first time he performed this martial skill, it was inevitable that it was jerky, and Yang Kai actually failed to succeed.
He was not discouraged either. He once again drove the Yuan Qi, rotated it according to the way the red lines in the stone figure operated, and at the same time carefully felt the changes in his own body.
As the Yuan Qi in his body circulated and flowed through those specific meridians, Yang Kai could feel a force gradually condense on the tip of his fist.
This force was initially very weak, but as the vitality rotated and the meridians supported, this force actually became extremely huge very quickly, giving people an impulse that they couldn’t help but release.
Yang Kai endured and didn’t make a move because the vitality in his body hadn’t rotated through all the necessary meridians.
After waiting for a while, thirty-six meridians in his body were penetrated by the vitality and connected together. Accompanied by a burst of resonance, the vitality in the thirty-six meridians surged and converged on the fist edge, making the already not weak force become even more huge.
It was as if it wanted to break free from Yang Kai’s restraint and rush out by itself.
The fist that Yang Kai clenched trembled slightly.
No longer suppressing, he violently punched out. Accompanied by this swing, all the force and vitality that had converged on the fist were also released together.
In the space pointed by the fist edge, the energy of heaven and earth instantly became disordered. Immediately after, with a rumble sound, the space seemed to be burst, and layers of visible fire rings rippled.
Yang Kai’s eyes flickered, and his eyes shone with brilliance.
Is this the lethality of a martial skill？ It’s really powerful！
