Simultaneous Transmigration: My Strength Comes Entirely from My Own

Page 42

Looking down at the arena, after hearing Zhang Lingyu's words, Feng Shayan was furious and said through gritted teeth.

"Since Master Lingyu has said so, don't blame me for not holding back."

The Hundred Steps Divine Fist was unleashed at full power, relentlessly bombarding Zhang Lingyu from all angles. This time, Feng Shayan was truly going all out, and the golden light surrounding Zhang Lingyu was on the verge of collapse.

Zhang Lingyu frowned, wanting to engage in close combat, but Feng Shayan's fists always seemed to appear in front of him, blocking his movements and forcing him to passively endure Feng Shayan's attacks.

"ah!!!"

Under Feng Shayan's relentless attack, which consumed a great deal of her Qi, Zhang Lingyu's golden light was finally on the verge of shattering. With a punch delivered with all her might, even Zhang Lingyu was forced back three steps.

"Boom!"

Zhang Lingyu took three steps back, leaving deep footprints under his feet, and said solemnly.

"It was I who underestimated Miss Feng. I apologize to Miss Feng in advance. Please be careful from now on."

Zhang Lingyu's gaze turned serious; he was finally ready to get serious.

"Yin Five Thunder Technique, Palm Thunder".

Zhang Lingyu raised his palm, and a bolt of black lightning with a hint of red shot towards Feng Shayan.

Practitioners of Yin Five Thunders typically break through their physical form, their vital energy leaks out, and their heart and lung yang energy fails to generate. They then use kidney water to guide liver wood, allowing yin energy to generate first.

Yin Wu Lei's attribute is water, and it governs the liver and kidneys. Its characteristics are strange and unpredictable, sucking away bones and marrow, eroding the heart and clouding the will. The thunder it emits is black.

When Yin Wu Lei cultivates, his body appears as a black, viscous liquid suspended in the air, sticky, oily, and slippery to the touch.

However, Zhang Lingyu had a resistance to Yin Five Thunder and instead longed for the clear, agile, and expansive Yang Five Thunder. Therefore, he used a straightforward approach to activate Yin Five Thunder, which prevented him from fully unleashing its strange and unpredictable, bone-sucking, marrow-draining, and mind-destroying characteristics.

Interestingly, Zhang Chulan, who is extremely rational and shrewd, has mastered the Yang Five Thunders, while his junior uncle Zhang Lingyu, who is simple-minded, arrogant but kind, has mastered the Yin Five Thunders.

Zhang Chulan's personality is essentially the dignified and bright Yang Lei, but it manifests as the unpredictable and ever-changing Yin Lei; Zhang (Li Hao) Lingyu's personality is essentially the unrestrained Yin Lei, but it manifests as the clear and pure Yang Lei.

Both of them envied certain aspects of each other's lives. Fans often jokingly say that Zhang Chulan, who was most suited to master the Yin Five Thunders, ended up mastering the Yang Five Thunders, while Zhang Lingyu, who was most suited to master the Yang Five Thunders, ended up mastering the Yin Five Thunders.

Although their personalities were more suited to each other's lightning magic, their own lightning magic also corresponded to their original personalities.

Although Zhang Chulan is extremely shrewd and calculating, he is kind at heart. Even when he schemes, it is for self-preservation. When scheming against others, he tries his best to sacrifice himself, which corresponds to Yang Wulei's dignified and upright character.

Zhang Lingyu is simple-minded, but she is unable to properly face her own emotions and desires, and cannot confront her past with her true self.

He should have been a free spirit, but he was swayed by his emotions and the opinions of others, so he pretended to live life in the manner he desired.

Chapter 74: One Person's Story: Luke's Demise, Strike with a Single Palm Strike

Zhang Lingyu's palm lightning is ultimately just a transformation of Qi, and it cannot yet control the lightning in nature to defend against enemies like the true Five Thunder Orthodox Method, so it is still lacking in speed.

In the nick of time, Feng Shayan dodged the palm strike with a less-than-elegant gesture.

Although Feng Shayan dodged the attack, she was still shaken by the residual power of the palm thunder, causing her blood and qi to churn. She was secretly amazed that Zhang Lingyu's strength was indeed unfathomable.

She dared not be negligent in the slightest. Her internal energy surged, and she unleashed the Hundred Steps Divine Fist once more. The shadows of her fists were numerous, like a storm, sweeping towards Zhang Lingyu.

Zhang Lingyu's figure was elusive, like a ghost, moving freely among the shadows of fists. At the same time, lightning continuously emanated from his palms, black electric light intertwining with the shadows of fists, producing crackling sounds.

The contest between the two became increasingly intense. Qi surged in the arena, and golden light and the shadows of fists intertwined. The audience's eyes followed closely, afraid of missing any detail.

Feng Shayan's Hundred Steps Divine Fist was incredibly powerful, and coupled with her innate supernatural abilities, each punch appeared from an unbelievable angle. However, Zhang Lingyu's Yin Five Thunders were also unpredictable and unpredictable, making them impossible to defend against.

The two sides fought back and forth, locked in a fierce battle, with neither able to gain the upper hand for a time.

But true experts could see that Feng Shayan had gone all out, while Zhang Lingyu was still holding back.

Not to mention Yin Wu Lei's ultimate move, Northern Cangtan, he didn't even use the maximum power of Palm Thunder. After all, most of the battles Zhang Lingyu had experienced since childhood were sparring matches, and he had never tried a life-or-death battle where he used his ultimate move right away. Moreover, he had a negative feeling towards Yin Wu Lei, and he would never use Yin Wu Lei at full power unless absolutely necessary.

"Shayan is going to lose!"

On the stands, Feng Zhenghao adjusted his glasses and said meaningfully.

Luke nodded and said, "Losing isn't so bad. At least you tried your best. That way, Shayan can accept it. Being forced to admit defeat and admitting defeat on your own are two different things."

Feng Zhenghao said helplessly, "Xiao Lu, are you implying something about me? Are you still blaming me for letting Sha Yan admit defeat?"

Luke shook his head and said, "Of course not. This is between you and Shayan and her father. I have no right to interfere. I'm just expressing my thoughts. Shayan has to make her choice. Uncle Feng, I know you're smart. The path you're choosing for Shayan or Xingtong is undoubtedly the best path for them. But they have to be happy with whichever path they choose. Even if it's a bit difficult, it doesn't matter. The most important thing is to let them make their own choice. You should learn from my dad in this regard. From childhood to adulthood, apart from cultivation, he never interfered with what I did. I haven't seen him for several years now."

Feng Zhenghao shook his head and said, "If only it were that simple. Things in life are often not as we wish, and we must know that we are not in control of our own lives!"

Lu Yun comes from a prestigious family and married the daughter of the Zhuge family. With the backing of two powerful families, even though Lu Yun was expelled from the Lu family and changed his surname to Lu, he still has the right to be willful.

But Feng Zhenghao is different. Just the title of being a descendant of the Thirty-Six Thieves has already put the Feng family in the eye of the storm. Even though the Tianxia Group is currently enjoying great success, it is still a case of glories and brocade. If they are not careful, they will all be lost!

Luke shook his head and said, "People always say they are not in control of their own lives, but if one is not in control of one's own heart, how can one's body be in control of one's own life?"

Feng Zhenghao was taken aback at first, then sighed, "Well said. If one cannot control one's own heart, how can one control one's own body? But there are always things in this world that must be done. It is common to be unable to control one's own body. Even someone as powerful as the Old Celestial Master is not in control of his own body. Otherwise, there would be no such grand ceremony."

Feng Zhenghao was referring to the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, in which the Old Celestial Master expanded its scope beyond the Taoist sect, but Luke disagreed.

Because he knew that the old master only agreed to this because he felt there was no need to make a big fuss, and even if he agreed, it wouldn't hinder what he wanted to do.

But when the Old Celestial Master truly wants to do something, he will do it no matter what, no matter what obstacles he faces.

In the original story, after Tian Jinzhong died, the Old Celestial Master went down the mountain to silence him. He single-handedly wiped out the Quanxing Sect, doing something unprecedented in history. Even the combined forces of Na Dutong and the Ten Elders could not stop him. After killing the people and silencing them, he turned back to the mountain.

Although the Ten Elders Council and Na Du Tong later announced that the Old Celestial Master would be confined to Longhu Mountain and could not leave the mountain for life without permission, anyone with common sense would know that Zhang Zhiwei, who had inherited the position of Celestial Master, had not left the mountain for many years before this, so this punishment was no different from nothing.

Besides, even if the Celestial Master wanted to go down the mountain, who could stop him?

However, Feng Zhenghao's words were not without reason. The Old Master was able to do so because he had sufficient strength, while Feng Zhenghao's strength, although good, had not yet reached that level.

"Yin Five Thunder Technique, Palm Thunder, all-around power."

While Luke was chatting with Feng Zhenghao, Zhang Lingyu in the arena unleashed his strongest palm strike to date.

Feng Shayan was clearly exhausted and had no way to dodge.

Luke's eyes narrowed, and he appeared on the field in the next moment. His speed was so fast that even Feng Zhenghao, one of the Ten Elders, couldn't react in time.

Luke flashed, like a bolt of lightning slicing through the sky, instantly protecting Feng Shayan behind him.

His gaze was piercing as he stared directly at the surging thunderbolt from his palm. His body was filled with surging Qi, as if countless forces were gathering in his palm.

Just as the palm lightning was about to touch him, Luke suddenly struck out with one palm, the Qi in his palm bursting forth like a river bursting its banks, unstoppable.

A deafening roar resounded as black lightning collided with the Qi flow in Luke's palm, sparking brilliant fireworks.

The lightning bolt in Luke's palm was actually cleaved in two by Luke's attack, turning into countless tiny sparks that scattered in all directions.

The energy flowed violently on the field, as if even the air itself was being torn apart by this force.

Luke stood motionless, like a mountain, while the remaining power of the cleaved palm lightning dissipated, posing no threat to Feng Shayan.

"Master Lingyu, I'm sorry, I was just eager to save people, please don't take offense."

Zhang Lingyu cupped his hands and said, "Brother Lu, you are too kind. It was my fault for being too heavy-handed and losing my composure. Miss Feng is also very powerful, the strongest opponent I have encountered so far in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony. I couldn't help but be careless in my attack. It is fortunate that I did not injure Miss Feng."

Chapter 75: One Person's Story: The Victory is Decided, the Clash Between Spirit Binding and General Command

If anyone else had said this, Feng Shayan would have exploded long ago, because while the words seemed polite, they were actually a way of showing off her strength.

But Zhang Lingyu spoke with exceptional sincerity, and Feng Shayan could tell that he had no intention of belittling her.

“Master Lingyu, there’s no need to say that. I admit defeat because my skills are inferior.”

Feng Shayan knew very well that she had truly lost this time. She was competitive, but not to the point of being unaware of her own strength. Knowing she was no match for him and still fighting was just asking for trouble.

However, this time Feng Shayan did not feel unwilling to admit defeat as she had in the past; on the contrary, she was quite pleased.

Because this time, she chose to admit defeat herself, rather than being forced to do so under the instigation of others; it was her own will.

"Zhang Lingyu wins. Please leave the stage. Next match: Wang Bing vs. Feng Xingtong."

Luke was about to leave with Feng Shayan when he suddenly frowned, feeling something was off.

Wang Bing's dantian was destroyed by him yesterday, so how can he still come to participate in the competition today?

However, Luke didn't care. Although he had gone too far yesterday, he had only destroyed Wang Bing's dantian. For those who cultivate qi, the dantian is important, but it is not the only thing. Who knows if the Wang family has some secret method that can restore Wang Bing to normal. After all, the Wang family is a family of extraordinary people with a thousand-year history. They have survived countless upheavals and it is not surprising that they have one or two trump cards.

Wang Bing walked into the arena with a pale face. Although he looked unwell, Luke could still tell that he was able to move around without any problems.

"It's interesting!"

Luke muttered to himself, but Feng Shayan overheard him and subconsciously asked him a question.

What's so interesting about it?

Luke didn't mind telling her, "Yesterday, that kid Wang Bing messed with me and had his dantian destroyed, but today he came to the competition completely unharmed. Isn't that interesting?"

Feng Shayan was startled: "Such a thing happened? Did Wang Ai cause you any trouble?"

Feng Shayan didn't care how Wang Bing recovered, but she was worried that Wang Ai would cause trouble for Luke because of it. After all, Wang Ai's doting on Wang Bing was well-known in the world of supernatural beings.

"Haha, Xiao Lu, you're being too modest. I heard about what happened yesterday. You single-handedly held your own against two of the Ten Elders without falling behind. It seems your strength isn't much less than that of one of the two heroes, Ru Hu."

What happened yesterday might have been kept secret from others, but how could it have been kept from Feng Zhenghao? However, when Feng Zhenghao found out about it, he was also extremely shocked, after all, Luke's age was enough to shock anyone.

Sometimes Feng Zhenghao couldn't help but wonder if all those who practiced external martial arts were this good at fighting. Ru Hu was one of the strongest people below the Old Master, and Luke's strength was clearly no less than Ru Hu's.

Of course, this was just a thought to himself. Feng Zhenghao knew the reason was that the two of them were talented enough. Otherwise, why would only one Ru Hu and one Luke have emerged from so many disciples of the Chai School of Horizontal Training?

"Hey, Uncle Feng, don't say that. The two elders are still very powerful. I fought for a long time but couldn't take down either of them. Luckily, the Celestial Master arrived, otherwise the situation would have been unmanageable."

To clarify, when Luke says "take down," he means to take down the opponent without them being able to fight back.

Clearly, just as Luke was about to do that, he was stopped by the old master.

Just as Feng Zhenghao was about to say something, he heard Feng Shayan exclaim in surprise.

"Dad, look!"

Feng Zhenghao looked down and was immediately utterly astonished.

Feng Xingtong had summoned Liu Kunsheng to fight the enemy without anyone noticing.

That's not important, since Feng Xingtong had just "invited" this immortal from Deng Youfu not long ago.

What surprised Feng Zhenghao was Wang Bing's response.

Because Wang Bing also used the Spirit Binding Technique, and his skill in this technique was by no means weaker than Feng Xingtong's.

At this moment, the two were simultaneously using the Spirit Binding Technique to compete for Liu Xian's spiritual body. However, the Spirit Binding Technique that Feng Xingtong inherited was not the complete version, so how could it compare to Wang Bing's?

Seeing Liu Xian being pulled toward Wang Bing little by little, Feng Xingtong couldn't care less about being shocked that the other party knew his own secret technique of binding spirits and commanding generals. He gritted his teeth and remained deadlocked with Wang Bing.
