Jiang Yuan closed his eyes and sat cross-legged to practice.

As soon as he started to absorb the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth, he felt completely different.

Under the effect of the spirit gathering array,

The efficiency of practice has increased by at least five times.

He had originally expected that it would take at least two months for him to break through from the first level of Tongmai Realm to the second level.

But under the current circumstances, the breakthrough can be completed in about ten days.

I experienced the difference firsthand.

Only then did Jiang Yuan truly understand the importance of cultivation resources.

This is especially important for the geniuses.

Afterwards, he stopped thinking about it and started practicing with all his strength.

It lasted for a long time until the meridians began to ache.

He knew he should stop, as the pressure on his meridians in such a short period of time had reached a limit.

It is not advisable to rush into cultivation. Spiritual energy is naturally violent, and forcibly continuing to refine it will only cause irreparable damage to the meridians.

Such behavior will end up costing more than the gain!

After finishing the practice.

Jiang Yuan took out the spirit stone from the spirit gathering array, which had shrunk by half.

Then I went to the Kung Fu Pavilion to read various miscellaneous books and history books.

These books are the best channel for him to understand the world.

Seven days later.

After several days of practice, the forty inferior spirit stones were completely consumed and turned into a pile of residue.

Jiang Yuan's practice also improved significantly, and he opened up a total of sixty-one spiritual veins.

It is not far from the second level of Tongmai Realm.

As long as he activates the spirit gathering formation once more, he will definitely be able to break through.

But looking at the only thirty low-grade spirit stones left in his hand, he felt a little distressed.

He still needed ten spirit stones. If he exchanged them in the mortal world through the Taixuan Sect's exchange method, it would only cost him 12,000 taels of silver. With his strength, it would not be difficult to get them.

If the exchange is done privately, only seven thousand taels of silver can be exchanged for ten lower-grade spirit stones, which is even simpler.

But being in Taixuan Sect, he didn't know where to earn these ten inferior spirit stones.

After thinking for a moment, he shook his head.

never mind!

Let nature take its course and comprehend the Jingtao Palm first! Just break through to the second level of Tongmai before the assessment.

With the current cultivation resources, it is impossible for the third level to have a chance to break through in such a short time.

And the Jingtao Palm is an offensive technique.

This is the key to his victory!

Once this kind of offensive technique reaches the perfect level, fighting across borders will be a piece of cake.

The genius who temporarily ranks first in Academy A is only at the third level of Tongmai Realm.

Afterwards, Jiang Yuan entered a state of practicing day after day.

Outer courtyard.

As the once-in-three-year inner gate examination approaches.

More and more outer court disciples began to try to break through.

Someone failed!

Some people succeed and become extraordinary from then on!

In this case, the competition for residence rights in Hospital A becomes more intense.

Because there is a spirit gathering array inside!

Originally, in the entire outer courtyard, there were only a dozen or so people who had entered the Tongmai realm.

But now it is completely different, there are more than thirty people.

However, there are only thirty courtyards in the outer courtyard, of which twenty-eight, twenty-ninth and thirty are all vacant.

In this case, natural competition is particularly fierce.

Jiang Yuan slapped forward.

With a slap of his palm, a solid palm print appeared out of thin air in an instant.

Every time this palm print moved forward a foot, it would grow a bit larger.

Boom——

It fell on the huge thousand-pound bluestone in the yard, and the thousand-pound stone that had been used as a training partner for a long time broke with a loud bang.

It was smashed into pieces by this palm.

Gravel is flying!

So strong!

Jiang Yuan looked at the scene in front of him and was shocked.

The realm remains unchanged, but the attacking power is completely different.

Before, I could only leave a mark three centimeters deep.

Now, under the Jingtao Palm, it can be smashed to pieces with one palm, and the power is increasing exponentially!

Is this the ultimate, ninth-level Jingtao Palm? What if it goes one step further and reaches the perfect nine-in-one? At this moment, Jiang Yuan experienced it.

He deeply realized the importance of the art of attack.

The other side.

Outside Hospital A.

"Brother Li, I heard that you are going to challenge Jiang Yuan?"

"Not bad!" the young man nodded.

"Brother Li, this is unwise! Although Jiang Yuan lives in Room 27 of A Courtyard, his strength is not weak at all in A Courtyard! Even Zhou You is far inferior to him!"

The young man said confidently: "I have already mastered the Mountain Collapse Fist!"

"I see! Brother Li's understanding is so extraordinary that it is simply awe-inspiring!"

The young man smiled slightly when he heard this.

The man continued, "From what we can see now, Brother Li is much stronger than Zhou You. Jiang Yuan is injured, and there is a high probability that he will be defeated by Brother Li!"

The young man smiled and said, "How can I, Li Zheng, fight a fight I am not sure of! Jiang Yuan is famous enough, and everyone in the outer courtyard knows him!"

"As long as I defeat him, I will surely become famous, and perhaps my fame will spread to the ears of the elders and the masters of the major peaks. Tell me, is it worth it for me to challenge him?"

"It's worth it, totally worth it!" the man exclaimed.

Not long after.

Jiang Yuan frowned slightly and slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing Jiang Yuan's expression, Shu Xiaoxiao whispered, "Sir, someone outside the courtyard is challenging you!"

"What?"

"Someone outside the hospital said he wanted to challenge you!"

Shu Xiaoxiao repeated it again softly.

"Okay!" Jiang Yuan was delighted when he heard that and quickly stood up.

I was in need of spiritual stones for cultivation! I didn't expect someone would come to be a fortune-giving boy.

This is a good thing, I can finally break through.

When Jiang Yuan pushed open the door, he saw a large number of onlookers standing outside.

It seems that this person is very confident and wants to become famous through this!

Jiang Yuan thought to himself.

One of the young men said to the people around him, "Everyone, everyone! Please make way. I will be sparring with Jiang Yuan later. If you get too close to me, I may hurt you!"

"Li Zheng, stop bragging! What right do you have to hurt me?"

The young man smiled and said, "I have mastered the Mountain Collapse Fist!"

"Hiss!" Someone gasped, "You can actually practice the ordinary intermediate-level Collapsing Mountain Fist to a minor level?"

Li Zheng said confidently: "Otherwise, how can I dare to challenge the famous Jiang Yuan! He is the top genius in the outer courtyard! Even Zhou You was easily killed by him!"

Li Zheng kept praising Jiang Yuan. He knew that the higher he praised Jiang Yuan, the higher he would be praised.

If he wins, the greater the fame he will gain!

Upon hearing this, everyone retreated.

Leaving an open space for Li Zheng and Jiang Yuan.

Originally, when they saw Li Zheng challenging Jiang Yuan, they didn't take it seriously at all.

If Jiang Yuan had broken through that realm that day, he could have killed Zhou You. How could he be an easy opponent?

Even though his injury has not healed yet, his condition is definitely better than it was back then.

In this situation, except for those who are ranked in the top few in the outer courtyard, no one else dares to say that they can defeat Jiang Yuan.

But after hearing Li Zheng say in person that his Collapsing Mountain Fist had already achieved some success.

They knew they were wrong! So wrong!

Xiaocheng's Collapsing Mountain Fist is far more powerful than Zhou You's.

Even when facing an inner sect disciple at the second level of Tongmai Realm, he could still resist a little with his minor accomplishment of the Collapsing Mountain Fist.

In this situation, Jiang Yuan was injured again and might really be defeated by Li Zheng.

Moreover, at this age, he can achieve some success just by relying on the rubbing of the Collapsing Mountain Fist, which is enough to prove his outstanding comprehension.

This person is another new genius! Based on his comprehension, if he enters the inner gate, he will definitely be the object of competition among the major peaks.

Jiang Yuan looked at Li Zheng at the door and said, "You want to challenge me?"

"Not bad!" he nodded.

Jiang Yuan raised his hand to take it, and said slowly: "In that case, are you ready?"

"Ready!" He nodded, very alert.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuan raised his hand and slapped.

"Jingtao Palm!" Li Zheng's eyes focused.

I was secretly shocked. Why hadn't he used it before? Fortunately, I had mastered the Mountain Collapse Fist, otherwise I would have fallen flat on my face.

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and then he punched out in an instant.

Accompanied by a loud shout: "Mountain collapse!"

As soon as he made contact, his expression suddenly changed.

"wrong."

Before he could finish his words, he was slammed away by Jiang Yuan's palm.

Everything in front of my eyes went dark.

Jiang Yuan shook his head. It was too weak! Or rather, Dacheng's Jingtao Palm was too strong!

If he hadn't restrained himself, this palm would have killed him on the spot! Jiang Yuan whispered in his mind, and then closed the gate of the courtyard.

Outside the hospital.

Everyone looked at Li Zheng who was lying unconscious on the ground and looked at each other in surprise.

"He's defeated now?"

"Defeated!" Someone nodded solemnly.

“Hiss! He defeated Li Zheng, who had mastered the Mountain Collapse Fist, with just one palm strike. How strong is he!”

"Maybe only Li Zheng knows!"

“.”

While everyone was talking, the man who came with Li Zheng walked up to him.

He placed his fingers on Li Zheng's neck and felt his pulse beating, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, I'm not dead!"

After his rescue, Li Zheng slowly opened his eyes.

With a "wow" sound, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.

He suddenly felt much more comfortable in his chest.

"Brother Li, are you okay?" the man said.

Li Zheng shook his head and said with lingering fear: "This man is so scary! I underestimated him! If he hadn't held back, I would have died on the spot!"

This immediately aroused the curiosity of the people around, so someone asked.

"Brother Li, how scary is he?"

Li Zheng said slowly: "Ninth-level power Shocking Wave Palm!"

"Ninth level strength? Could it be the ultimate Shocking Wave Palm?"

Someone nearby explained, "That's right! The ninth level of strength is exactly the perfect version of the Shocking Wave Palm! For the Shocking Wave Palm, the fifth level of strength is a minor level, and the ninth level of strength is a major level! Any attacking technique, once cultivated to a major level, can be used to fight against opponents of higher levels!"

"Why didn't I see him use the Shocking Wave Palm last time?"

"It may be that in the past month or so, he has mastered the Shocking Wave Palm from scratch!"

"How is this possible?"

"Why not?" Someone said, "Think about it carefully. How long has he been practicing? As long as his understanding is high enough, everything is possible!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone suddenly realized something and fell silent.

Only then did they remember that Jiang Yuan had only been a student for a little over a month.

The Shocking Waves Palm can only be learned in the Taixuan Sect's Kung Fu Pavilion.

Therefore, it takes only one month to comprehend and master the Jingtao Palm from scratch and reach the highest level. This is the truth.

Thinking of this, some of them felt a sense of fatigue in their hearts.

Is this the gap between me and others and the true geniuses?

The other side.

Jiang Yuan looked at the ten inferior spirit stones in his hand and smiled with satisfaction.

That man is truly a boy who brings wealth.

The goods were delivered to my door, solving my urgent problem.

He took out the remaining thirty low-grade spirit stones from his body and placed them one by one on the spirit gathering formation in the yard.

After a while.

The whole courtyard became extremely fresh again, and the trees became greener.

Jiang Yuan also began to practice.

The next day.

As the seventy-second meridian was completely opened, a second stable spiritual path was formed.

The spiritual energy in the air suddenly became violent and gathered towards him with a roar.

Feeling the state of his Dantian, Jiang Yuan smiled.

After breaking through, the total amount of spiritual power doubled.

It is true that there is a new world for each level.

I have underestimated the suppression of the realm and the gap between the Tongmai realm.

The gap is even greater than that between ordinary people.

[Name]: Jiang Yuan [Realm]: Tongmai Realm Level 2

[Innate Luck]: Eternal Life (Purple) Dragon and Tiger Body (Blue) Natural Wisdom (Blue) Condensed Soul (Blue) [Power of Luck]: 313 strands

[Fortune Seed]: One high-level seed

But when he saw that he only had 313 strands of luck left.

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but frown.

It has been more than a month, and I have been watered by twenty strands of innate luck every day.

However, even so, this high-level luck seed still did not bloom.

He is simply a big spender of luck.

If these innate fortunes were stored, he would have been able to create a new purple innate fortune long ago.

But it has come to this.

Jiang Yuan was not ready to give up either.

The more you give, the more you will naturally gain.

The innate luck that is bred in this must be good! Think about this clearly.

Jiang Yuan stood up and took back all the low-grade spirit stones that had not been used up in the spirit gathering array.

If you continue to practice, it will be impossible to break through the third level of Tongmai in a short period of time.

So he planned to comprehend the Jingtao Palm to perfection and achieve the state of unity of the nine levels of strength.

From great success to perfection, there is only one step left.

However, there is a world of difference.

The perfect Jingtao Palm is no longer a palm.

But it is a raging wave, a stormy wave with huge waves.

With one slap of his palm, the nine levels of strength merged into one, directly transforming into a surging river.

This is the true meaning of this move.

If there is a secret teaching containing true meaning here, Jiang Yuan has the confidence that he can comprehend it directly.

But what he had in his hand was just a rubbing.

So if he wanted to gain enlightenment, he had to travel along the great rivers.

Experience for yourself the artistic conception that the founder has realized.

Only in this way would he have the confidence to comprehend the meaning of the waves in a short period of time.

Only in this way can the Shocking Waves Palm be endowed with spirituality.

Otherwise, relying only on the second level of Tongmai and the perfect Jingtao Palm, Jiang Yuan would not be absolutely sure of defeating the woman living in Room 1 of Courtyard A.

After all, she had already reached the third level of Tongmai Realm.

As for the martial arts, no one knows what kind of martial arts she is practicing.

It is also a highly accomplished offensive technique.

Jiang Yuan's only reliance is his physical advantage.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan took Shu Xiaoxiao out of Courtyard A.

"Sir, where are we going?"

Shu Xiaoxiao asked curiously.

"Cangjiang!"

Along the way, countless outer disciples saw Shu Xiaoxiao's face and looked at her in awe.

Some people even came out to chat, but were slapped away by Jiang Yuan.

Only then did Jiang Yuan realize how powerful the effect of Shu Xiaoxiao's peerless fairy-like appearance was.

She is completely different from what she was more than a month ago.

Compared with Tan Tai Ming that day, she was even more stunning and her temperament was much higher.

In this case, it is completely worthy of the phrase "beauty is a disaster".

"Xiaoxiao, wear a veil next time you go out!"

"Yes, sir!" Shu Xiaoxiao said obediently.
