Chapter 7

Jiang Xue greeted Tiezhu, who blushed deeply, still somewhat dazed and unsure of what to do. Jiang Nan took the bamboo basket from his hands, took out the food, and placed it on the stone table, smiling, "Sis, why don't you join us for a meal?"

Jiang Xue nodded and sat down at the stone table. Jiang Nan fetched another set of bowls and chopsticks and invited Tiezhu to sit down. Jiang Xue had a light palate and only ate a few bites of vegetables and rice before putting down her chopsticks. Jiang Nan and Tiezhu, however, were big eaters and quickly finished the remaining food.

Jiang Xue collected the bowls and chopsticks to wash them. Tiezhu finally felt relieved, took a deep breath, and asked curiously, "Zichuan, your sister is so beautiful, even more so than the princess... By the way, is she married?"

"What do you want to do?"

Jiang Nan became alert, coughed, and whispered, "Zhu, she's my cousin, not my real sister. We were betrothed as children, so we are nominally siblings but actually husband and wife."

"Brat, even rabbits don't eat the grass near their burrows, but you, you even eat the grass near your burrow..."

Tiezhu muttered, then smiled, "Seeing that you're fine, I'm relieved. It was really a pity that you didn't go to Prince Qi's mansion today. This morning, Prince Qi personally inspected the training ground and even demonstrated his martial arts. Wow, it was truly impressive!"

"Prince Qi personally guided the young disciples of the mansion?"

Jiang Nan couldn't help but feel envious. Prince Qi was a martial arts expert at the Divine Wheel realm, with extremely powerful cultivation. It was indeed a pity not to see such a person in action. However, compared to watching Prince Qi practice, he felt that his own gains were even more substantial. The events of this morning were enough to change his life and benefit him for a lifetime!

What could be more fantastical than what he experienced last night? What could be more thrilling than what he experienced last night?

"Prince Qi demonstrated a set of supreme martial arts, one of the four great techniques of the mansion, the Dragon Tiger Elephant Power Technique!"

Tiezhu's eyes sparkled as he spoke about martial arts, his face beaming with excitement. "I watched from a hidden spot and secretly learned a couple of moves. The Dragon Tiger Elephant Power Technique has three main principles: the Dragon's myriad transformations, the Tiger's escape from captivity, and the Elephant's mountain-bearing might. One must not only capture their form but also their spirit! Only when both form and spirit are present is it the highest level of martial arts!"

These words were clearly not something a rough person like Tiezhu could say, but rather a repetition of Prince Qi's original words. Jiang Nan had also heard the servants of Prince Qi's mansion discuss this supreme technique. It was said that the Dragon Tiger Elephant Power Technique was created by the first Prince Qi after he encountered a true dragon, a divine elephant, and a tiger demon capable of splitting mountains, and survived a near-death experience.

The Dragon Tiger Elephant Power Technique was highly praised by the founding emperor as the most domineering technique in the world. Because of this technique, the Jianwu Kingdom used tiger strength, elephant strength, and dragon strength to evaluate martial artists during their assessments.

A tiger's strength is one thousand pounds, capable of drawing an eight-stone bow. An elephant's strength is ten thousand pounds, and a dragon's strength is one hundred thousand pounds!

An ordinary bone-refining martial artist already possesses the strength of a tiger. After cultivating to the Qi-refining stage, one can possess the strength of an elephant. Achieving the External Gang stage means reaching the incomprehensible strength of a dragon.

"I have cultivated to the bone-refining stage and can lift a two-thousand-pound boulder, possessing the strength of two tigers," Jiang Nan thought to himself.

Tiezhu, excited by his own words, pulled Jiang Nan out of the city and into a secluded forest. Suddenly, he leaped to an open area, demonstrating the Dragon Tiger Elephant Power Technique he had secretly learned.

His moves were only partially correct, and many techniques were incomplete, stopping halfway without fully displaying their subtleties. Moreover, his punches and kicks did not contain true qi, only raw strength, and thus could not fully unleash the power of the techniques.

Even so, being able to remember so much after just one secret observation was already quite impressive, indicating that he had good aptitude and insight.

These techniques, though not as intricate as the Jiang Yue Breaking Wave Technique, gave a grand and majestic feeling, as if they carried the might of dragons and elephants and the ferocity of tigers!

"Hmm?"

Jiang Nan let out a light exclamation. These fragmented techniques resonated with the true qi in his body, stirring it to move with Tiezhu's actions!

In his eyes, it was no longer Tiezhu's moves but the real images of dragons, tigers, and elephants battling. The subtle changes that Tiezhu had not learned naturally appeared in his mind, as if he had already mastered the Dragon Tiger Elephant Power Technique!

Tiezhu had only learned a few moves, and they were incomplete, without the heart method of the Dragon Tiger Elephant Power Technique. However, the demonic bell inside Jiang Nan's body was constantly vibrating, with various strange patterns appearing on its surface, depicting dragons, tigers, and elephants.

The true qi of the Demonic Prison Profound Fetus Scripture flowed through his body in a peculiar path, enhancing his growing strength, allowing him to grasp the essence of the Dragon Tiger Elephant Power Technique with incredible clarity!

The Dragon's myriad transformations!

The Tiger's escape from captivity!

The Elephant's mountain-bearing might!

All the variations of the Dragon Tiger Elephant Power Technique stemmed from these twelve words. The more Jiang Nan pondered the divine essence contained in these twelve words, the deeper his understanding of the Dragon Tiger Elephant Power Technique became. He could not only reconstruct the techniques but also deduce the heart method!

This was the effect of the Demonic Prison Profound Fetus Scripture. The starting point of this cultivation method was too high. Although Jiang Nan had only practiced for a few hours, his perspective and insight had already surpassed what they were before.

It was as if he was standing on the shoulders of a giant, even though he was lying down, he could still look down on the ordinary people below the giant's feet.

Although the Dragon Tiger Elephant Power Technique was far superior to techniques like the Blood Transformation Divine Technique, in the face of the Demonic Prison Profound Fetus Scripture, it was just a simple martial art, unable to transcend the realm of the Demonic Prison Profound Fetus!

The secrets of such supreme techniques were naturally deduced by his Demonic Prison Profound Fetus Scripture, appearing on the surface of the demonic bell, supporting the flow of true qi!

"Zichuan, in Prince Qi's hands, the Dragon Tiger Elephant Power Technique is far more powerful than in mine. It even takes on the forms of tigers, elephants, and dragons, with a single punch accompanied by the roar of a dragon and the growl of a tiger."

Tiezhu finished his demonstration and smiled, "Prince Qi said that if this divine technique is cultivated to the point of transcending martial arts and reaching the realm of divine powers, one will possess the strength of a dragon, ten elephants, and be invincible!"

Jiang Nan remained silent, still immersed in deducing the secrets of the Dragon Tiger Elephant Power Technique. He had mastered every move and variation of the Dragon Tiger Elephant Power Technique.

This feeling was truly wondrous!

He had once tried to deduce the fourth level of the Jiang Yue Breaking Wave Technique from the first three levels, but now, he could deduce the entire heart method from just a few fragments of techniques. The difficulty had increased countless times, but it felt incredibly easy and natural to him!

"This is the perspective and insight that Sister Jiang Xue spoke of!"

Jiang Nan's heart surged, thinking, "Cultivating the Demonic Prison Profound Fetus Scripture is like standing on the shoulders of the Demonic Prison Profound Fetus Scripture to look down on the Dragon Tiger Elephant Power Technique, making everything clear! No wonder Sister Jiang Xue said that her ability to deduce the Jiang Yue Breaking Wave Technique to eighteen levels was not due to intelligence but to perspective and insight!"

Due to his cultivation limitations, he could only deduce the first five levels of the Dragon Tiger Elephant Power Technique. However, he was unsure how it compared to the real Dragon Tiger Elephant Power Technique.

"Zhu, I... um, my ancestors also passed down a cultivation method similar to the Dragon Tiger Elephant Power Technique. Look!"

Jiang Nan, inspired, stepped into the open area, true qi flowing through his body. As he moved, an incredibly wild aura erupted from within him, like a fierce dragon emerging from the depths, startling Tiezhu, who had not expected such a ferocious aura from Jiang Nan's small frame!

"Dragon Emerges from the Abyss!"

Jiang Nan moved his hands and feet in perfect coordination, his body like a dragon, true qi spreading to his limbs, unleashing his powerful potential. Suddenly, a deep and resonant dragon's roar came from his chest, though low, it shook Tiezhu's blood and qi, making his chest feel as if a heavy stone was pressing on it, almost causing him to bleed!

"Tiger Escapes from Captivity!"

Jiang Nan lunged forward, his palms clapping and crossing, true qi rubbing between his hands, producing a deafening tiger's roar, like a hungry tiger that had been caged for four or five days, bursting out with its most ferocious nature, ready to devour anything in its path!

"Elephant Stomps the Mountain!"

Jiang Nan performed the third move of the Dragon Tiger Elephant Power Technique he had created, "Elephant Stomps the Mountain." He took thirteen steps, each step shattering a two- or three-foot square stone slab!

Thud! Thud! Thud!

With each step, the shattered stones floated in the air, about a foot high, then were shattered by the violent force. His arms, like elephant trunks, struck forward, making a loud cracking sound, striking thirteen times with immense power!

The Dragon Tiger Elephant Power Technique was indeed a technique of immense power, surpassing the Jiang Yue Breaking Wave Technique in sheer attack power, though slightly inferior in intricacy. However, its ferocity was unparalleled in Jiang Nan's experience!

The Dragon Tiger Elephant Power Technique he had deduced emphasized ferocity and dominance, with no defense, moving forward relentlessly, fully unleashing the ferocity of the dragon, the savagery of the tiger, and the might of the elephant!

In a blink, he performed the other two moves. The fourth move, "Dragon and Snake Rise from the Land," was a movement technique, like a dragon swimming in a river and a snake slithering through thorns, making it impossible to predict his movements. The fifth move, "Tiger Enters the Sheepfold," was a pure killing technique, like a hungry tiger striking a fatal blow!

He only deduced five moves, corresponding to the five stages of martial arts. The fifth move, "Tiger Enters the Sheepfold," lacked power because Jiang Nan had not yet broken through his bone membrane and lacked true qi to drive it.

After the five moves, Jiang Nan stopped, and his bones emitted a faint cracking sound, as a surge of violent energy swept through his body, increasing his strength!

The Dragon Tiger Elephant Power Technique was indeed incredibly profound, significantly increasing his strength. The Demonic Prison Profound Fetus Scripture lacked practical applications, but the Dragon Tiger Elephant Power Technique unlocked some of its potential, greatly enhancing his physical abilities, skin, flesh, tendons, and bones!

"I originally had the strength of two tigers, and now it has definitely increased by half!"

Jiang Nan's true qi slowly calmed, feeling a significant increase in his strength, both surprised and delighted. He smiled, "Zhu, how does this cultivation method compare to the Dragon Tiger Elephant Power Technique of Prince Qi's mansion?"

Tiezhu was already stunned, speechless for a moment before recovering, raising his thumb and smiling, "Zichuan, is this your ancestral cultivation method? Amazing, truly amazing! I didn't expect you to have such hidden skills!"

Jiang Nan blushed. His ancestors were scholars who had a bias and disdain for martial arts, considering them the domain of the ignorant and brutish. How could they have passed down any divine techniques?

"Zichuan, the techniques of your family's cultivation method are different from those of the Dragon Tiger Elephant Power Technique of Prince Qi's mansion, and the aura is slightly inferior, but it is still extremely impressive!"

Tiezhu praised endlessly, his eyes filled with admiration, "I didn't expect your family to be a martial arts lineage. Although it is slightly inferior to the true Dragon Tiger Elephant Power Technique, it can still be considered a top-notch supreme technique!"

"Not as good as the true Dragon Tiger Elephant Power Technique?"

Jiang Nan frowned slightly but then understood. He had only deduced the Dragon Tiger Elephant Power Technique from Tiezhu's incomplete moves and had not seen it demonstrated by a powerful expert like Prince Qi. It was understandable that he couldn't deduce it perfectly.
