Chapter 83, The Fifth Ray of Light
The process of learning the Five Organs Thunderclap Method went much more smoothly than Chen Ye had expected.
There was no lightning.
There were none of the dangers that Huangfu Zhuo had described.
Chen Ye sat cross-legged on the bed. After investing a year of his lifespan, he instantly progressed from the beginner level to the entry level in the Five Internal Organs Thunderclap Technique.
The pawnshop system saved him the entire process of attracting lightning.
In the dark room, wisps of bluish-purple electricity crackled and danced across his chest and clothes.
Wisps of thunderous energy began to rise from his internal organs, making his chest feel as if it had been struck by a hammer from the inside, causing his heart to pound rapidly, like a drumbeat.
Next came the lungs, then the liver, spleen, and kidneys, all of which trembled violently under the turbulent thunderous energy.
His body began to emit faint rumbling sounds, like thunder.
And with each clap of thunder, his internal organs would vibrate violently.
An invisible stream of impurities was blasted out by the thunder.
Chen Ye seemed to have experienced this scene countless times before, and his mind naturally relaxed.
Let this thunderous energy surge and churn between your internal organs, just like a blacksmith hammering raw iron, refining it through countless hammer blows to remove all impurities.
This process was quite painful. Chen Ye gritted his teeth, and large beads of sweat kept seeping from his forehead and sliding down his neck where the veins were bulging.
After an unknown amount of time, the thunderous energy within his body gradually subsided.
Chen Ye opened his eyes and looked down at his chest. Under the exposed skin, he could vaguely see a layer of bluish-purple lines, which spread along the meridians to both sides of his ribs like living things.
This is the lingering effect left in the body after the thunder energy refined the internal organs.
He took a deep breath, and a low hum came from deep within his body, like the lingering sound of muffled thunder deep in the clouds; he then exhaled that breath, and the hum within his body quickly dissipated.
This happened repeatedly, accompanied by thunderous roars, which was quite mystical.
At this moment, the medicinal effects of the jade marrow pill that had just been taken began to dissolve in his stomach.
A cool sensation spread through the meridians to every part of the body.
After these days of cultivation, and with the blessing of [Return to Origin], the true qi and internal strength in his body were as powerful as mountains. Stimulated by the medicinal power, they suddenly accelerated.
Chen Ye activated the Returning to Origin Technique.
True Qi originates from the Dantian and travels up the spine, forming warm streams of Qi that circulate within the body.
The impurities refined by the "thunder" hammer in the internal organs are drawn out by the true qi, seeping out from between the flesh and skin, turning into wisps of white smoke that continuously rise and evaporate.
Chen Ye clearly felt that his internal organs were more able to withstand the fluctuations of true energy than before.
In the past, when practicing the Guiyuan Technique through the chest cavity, the internal organs would always feel slightly bloated.
The swelling has completely disappeared.
Instead, it provides a comfortable feeling of being soaked in warm water.
As the Great Circulation continued, Chen Ye's Tanzhong acupoint suddenly felt hot.
The essence contained in the Jade Marrow Pill seemed to be summoned by something, and all of it rushed towards the Tanzhong acupoint.
Something is pushing outwards from deep within the Tanzhong acupoint.
Soon, after all the essential substances hidden within the flesh and blood had poured in, the eighth ray of light burst forth from the ground.
Unlike the previous rays of light, this ray was not pure gold, but had a very faint bluish-purple halo.
The moment the eighth ray of light appeared, the other seven ray of light, which were in a dormant state, lit up almost simultaneously.
To Chen Ye's surprise, a fine golden thread had appeared between the eight rays of light, connecting them to form a mysterious pattern.
The gold thread is very faint.
It's easy to overlook if you don't look closely.
Chen Ye didn't quite understand what these golden threads represented, but he could roughly guess that they were related to his True Yang constitution.
He has too little access to intelligence to know.
Current remaining lifespan: 266 days.
[Pawnable lifespan: 265 days]
[Cumulative redemptions: 0 days]
[Remaining redeemable lifespan: 365 days]
Chen Ye glanced at the pawn system panel and couldn't help but feel delighted.
Huangfu Zhuo was indeed not lying to him.
The Five Internal Organs Thunderclap Technique is indeed a martial art that can prolong life.
The mere act of entering the sect granted him nearly two hundred days of life.
Unconsciously, Chen Ye became increasingly eager to learn more about the Five Internal Organs Thunderclap Technique.
boom!
Just then, the courtyard gate was kicked open.
Chen Ye frowned.
Who in the Cui household would dare to be so presumptuous?
He immediately got up and went into the courtyard, where he saw Cui Yingtang, whom he hadn't seen for almost a month.
She was wearing a slightly wrinkled practice uniform, looked somewhat listless, and had messy, greasy hair that looked like it hadn't been washed in a long time, but her eyes were bright and clear.
Cui Yingtang glanced at him, her face beaming with excitement, and said, "I heard you've already completed your seventh rebirth?"
Chen Ye didn't understand why Cui Yingtang had come to his door so abruptly, but he didn't hide anything and said, "It's because the Third Miss bestowed upon me such superb martial arts skills, that's why..."
After receiving confirmation, Cui Yingtang's face lit up with even more joy, and then she punched him in the chest.
The fist struck Chen Ye's chest with a dull thud, and powerful true energy erupted from his meridians, creating a small shockwave between the two.
Chen Ye remained completely still.
He looked down and saw Cui Yingtang's fist still pressed against his ribs, her face full of confusion: "Second Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Cui Yingtang looked surprised. Although she only used 50% of her strength in that punch, 50% of the strength of a Dragon Elephant Realm martial artist was enough to kill an ordinary person.
How could this person have made such terrifying progress in just one month?
She became even more excited and increased the force by 10%, even using some of her strength.
Chen Ye felt an explosive force explode on Cui Yingtang's fist, and he staggered back several steps before falling to the ground with a thud.
"Ahem, Second Miss..."
Chen Ye stood up again, brushed away the dust in front of him, and coughed violently a few times.
He was secretly shocked. Was this the strength of a Dragon Elephant Realm Martial Master?
Although Cui Yingtang's force was strong, and there was even a strange force penetrating his body, he was still completely unharmed because of his cultivation of the Five Internal Organs Thunderclap Technique. He only had some superficial injuries all over his body.
Cui Yingtang stared at Chen Ye, stunned by his terrifyingly rapid progress.
Standing before Chen Ye at this moment, she felt a sense of defeat.
His curiosity and anticipation for Chen Ye grew stronger, and he was eager to give him a good fight.
Unfortunately, now is not the time.
Chen Ye hasn't officially broken through to the Dragon Elephant Realm yet. If she were to go all out, it would be bullying him, and she wouldn't be able to experience the beauty of martial arts where every punch lands on the skin.
She suppressed that feeling, and only then did she belatedly realize that coming to fight as soon as she heard the news seemed a bit too impulsive and rash.
Cui Yingtang scratched her slightly itchy hair, feeling somewhat annoyed.
Only then did he realize that Cui Yingtang had been bored during his confinement and had developed a martial arts obsession, which was why she came over and fought with him for no reason, without any malicious intent.
"Practice hard, and I'll definitely challenge you to a serious match in the future. True martial arts should be honed in real combat."
After saying that, Yingtang scratched her hair again, then turned to leave.
Halfway there, she suddenly turned back and added, "I almost forgot about the important matter."
"I heard you've become a retainer of the Cui family. Father instructed you to supervise Cui Kan's studies. He should be practicing his stances today. I'm going to wash my hair first. Go to the training ground and keep an eye on him for a while. I'll be there shortly after."
