Chapter 32

"Ruined... Ruined..."

In the room, Nie Tian stared dumbly at the dagger, which had lost its luster and all its spiritual nature, suddenly feeling somewhat dejected.

A mid-grade spirit artifact was something the entire Nie family had only a few of. The mid-grade spirit artifact his maternal grandfather possessed was also sold at a low price a few years ago to fund the search for medicinal herbs to treat his illness.

He also understood that the reason An Shiyi had given him a mid-grade spirit artifact was because Jiang Zhisu was present at the time, making An Shiyi more generous.

Such a precious spirit artifact, which he had not yet had the chance to fully explore its mysteries, was now completely destroyed because of that piece of beast bone.

"What a waste! What a waste!"

He glared hatefully at the beast bone, unable to hold back his curses.

"Chi!"

A few tiny sparks of fire suddenly shone from within the beast bone, quickly converging on the drop of crimson blood inside.

"Ah!"

He exclaimed in surprise, pointing at the now scorching hot beast bone. He immediately noticed that the drop of blood, which had shrunk significantly, had grown larger again.

He then realized that the spatial tear caused by the beast bone, which had transported him to that mysterious place, had consumed the fire energy, which was now replenished.

"Will it cause another spatial anomaly?" He tensed up.

Li Fan had waited for three months, hoping for another spatial tear. Although Li Fan had left, many unknown cultivators still lingered around the Nie family, all drawn by the abnormal spatial fluctuations.

If another spatial tear appeared at the Nie family, those cultivators would likely rush in as soon as Li Fan returned to Lingyun Mountain, desperately trying to uncover the secrets of the spatial anomaly.

The Nie family had no way to stop them, and he might also expose the mysteries of the beast bone.

"No! Absolutely not!"

He pressed his fingertips tightly against the beast bone, silently praying in his heart, hoping for no more accidents.

Although he wanted to return to that mysterious place to explore its secrets, now was not the right time. If the beast bone caused another spatial anomaly, he would immediately be plunged into a huge mess.

The gradually warming, increasingly hot beast bone seemed to hear his inner cries.

The anomaly he feared did not occur. After the drop of blood absorbed all the fire energy from the Crimson Sun Blade, the beast bone quickly calmed down again.

Nie Tian, who was tense and uneasy, did not dare to delve deeper into the drop of blood with his mind, quickly putting the beast bone back into his waist pouch.

After waiting a while, when the beast bone no longer emitted any heat or showed any more changes, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"This won't do. As long as I'm in the Nie family, I can't fully explore the mysteries of the beast bone. I need to think of another way." He frowned in deep thought.

However, after much contemplation, he found no good solution.

He was still too young, currently only at the sixth level of the Qi Condensation stage. The vast forest between Heiyun City and Lingyun Mountain was often patrolled by cultivators from Lingyun Sect and Heiyun City. If he caused another spatial anomaly, he might be detected by powerful cultivators.

If found by Lingyun Sect's cultivators, his personal safety might be guaranteed, but the secret of the beast bone would be hard to hide.

If caught by the cultivators from the An and Yun families, he doubted he would survive to return to the Nie family.

The wilderness north of Heiyun City was often roamed by spirit beasts. Exploring the mysteries of the beast bone there would be even more dangerous.

"It's still because I'm not strong enough..."

After some thought, he realized that leaving Heiyun City to explore the mysteries of the beast bone in a desolate place was not a wise decision, so he decided to abandon the idea for now.

"First, I'll master the secret of that angry punch. I'll wait until I'm strong enough to explore the mysteries of the beast bone outside Heiyun City."

With this in mind, he took deep, even breaths, putting the mysteries of the beast bone out of his mind, and focused on filling his heart with anger.

Soon, a sense of anger, irritability, and frustration began to grow in his heart.

He recalled the posture of the giant hand pointing to the sky in that mysterious place, slowly raising his arm and pointing it at the ceiling.

When his anger reached a certain level, and his eyes seemed to burn with raging flames, he suddenly felt the spiritual energy in his dantian surge uncontrollably into his raised arm.

"Roar!"

He couldn't help but roar, his anger and frustration merging with his spiritual energy.

A desolate and ancient aura emanated from him, and at that moment, he felt like a giant spirit from ancient times, daring to challenge the heavens!

The spiritual energy surged into his fist, and a sense of urgency compelled him to release it.

He felt a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation in his fist, which needed to be unleashed!

He clenched his fist and slammed it into the nearest square stone table, finding an outlet for all the power in his fist.

"Crack!"

The stone table, as large as a door, suddenly shattered into pieces, small fragments exploding outward, filling the room with flying stone chips.

After the punch, he found that all his spiritual energy was depleted!

His dantian seemed completely empty!

He collapsed to the ground, feeling weak and pale, clearly from overexertion.

Beside him, the floor was covered in broken stones, some larger pieces still showing cracks and breaking into smaller pieces after his punch.

The room was filled with a sense of angry and restless energy, which he had infused into his punch, lingering and not dispersing.

After a while, the intense anger gradually dissipated into the air.

"What a powerful and violent force!"

Looking at the scene of flying stone chips and shattered stones, Nie Tian let out a low roar.

He knew that the stone table was made from a piece of extremely hard green rock.

Although green rock was not a spirit material, it was considered a good building material by the major families in Heiyun City due to its hardness.

Stone was naturally much tougher than the flesh and blood of low-level cultivators.

According to Nie Qian, a cultivator who had just entered the Later Heaven stage could only match the hardness of green rock when protected by spiritual energy.

Cultivators in the middle and later stages of the Later Heaven stage could have bodies stronger than green rock when protected by spiritual energy.

Cultivators below the Later Heaven stage, even with spiritual energy surrounding their bodies, were far from as strong as green rock.

His punch, filled with anger, could shatter a piece of green rock. If it hit a cultivator, only those in the middle and later stages of the Later Heaven stage could survive.

A cultivator who had just entered the Later Heaven stage might be killed instantly by this punch.

And cultivators of the same level as him, up to the ninth level of the Qi Condensation stage, would certainly die!

"The explosive power is terrifying, but the spiritual energy consumed by one punch is also frightening! Just one punch drained all my spiritual energy. After one punch, I would have no strength left to resist and would be at the mercy of others."

"This technique must be used with caution!"

After the initial excitement, he gradually calmed down, realizing that this boxing technique was a double-edged sword. If he couldn't kill with one punch, he would only be waiting to die.

However, he also sensed that the true power of this punch had not been fully unleashed.

Due to his low cultivation level and limited spiritual energy in his dantian, one punch drained all his spiritual energy, which was clearly not the limit of this punch.

He believed that if he had a higher cultivation level and more abundant spiritual energy, the power of this punch could be greatly increased!

"There were thirty-two giant hands pointing to the sky in that mysterious place. Each hand represented a powerful boxing technique! If I could master all thirty-two boxing techniques, then..."

Thinking of this, Nie Tian's eyes glowed with intense excitement.

At this moment, he firmly believed that his decision to resist temptation, not reveal the secret of the beast bone to Li Fan, and not trade the truth for immediate benefits was the wisest decision of his life!

"What happened here?"

At that moment, Nie Donghai walked in, looking at the mess on the floor, and asked in surprise.

"I was mastering a boxing technique." Nie Tian smiled happily.

"A boxing technique?" Nie Donghai looked at the broken stones on the floor, his eyes flashing with shock, then nodded and said, "That girl from the An family is trying to find out the secret of the spatial crack from you in various ways. The things she sent this time... even I found it hard to refuse. I've already accepted them on your behalf."
