Chapter 5

Even though he only had part of the first level of the Dragon Walking Steps, the cultivation method for the second level actually appeared in his mind. At this moment, Yuan Feng's brain was completely unable to process what was happening.

Opening his eyes, he found that he was no longer sitting on the ground but was standing in the posture of the first level of the Dragon Walking Steps. This situation made him realize that everything that had happened was real. Unconsciously, he had performed the first level of the Dragon Walking Steps, and it was a complete performance of the first level.

Closing his eyes, with a thought, the key points and movement routes of the first level of the Dragon Walking Steps clearly appeared in his mind. With a movement of his yuan power, his figure darted out, appearing two meters away in the blink of an eye.

"This, this is too..."

Yuan Feng was at a loss for words. He had somehow mastered the first level of the Dragon Walking Steps while in a daze, a situation that felt like a dream.

"How could this be? I only had half of the first level's technique, how could I possibly master all the steps of the first level? I even saw some of the second level's steps, this is too incredible!"

At this moment, the joy of mastering the Dragon Walking Steps was overshadowed by his confusion. He couldn't figure out what had happened in that short time.

"The Devouring Heaven Martial Spirit, that's it, it must be the Devouring Heaven Martial Spirit!"

Recalling the past, Yuan Feng immediately remembered that when he was watching the Dragon Walking Steps, the image of the Devouring Heaven Martial Spirit flashed in his mind, and then the light figure in his mind appeared, teaching him the first level of the Dragon Walking Steps step by step. Therefore, everything must have been brought about by the Devouring Heaven Martial Spirit.

"What a Devouring Heaven Martial Spirit, not only can it devour different energies to replenish itself, but it can also thoroughly digest and perform techniques, even automatically completing incomplete martial arts. Truly incredible!"

Understanding everything, Yuan Feng was deeply shocked. The Devouring Heaven Martial Spirit, brought from the original world, had such an incredible ability. If outsiders knew about this, they would be stunned.

"Phew, truly a monstrous Devouring Heaven Beast, but I like it, hahaha!"

The shock gradually faded, and he finally couldn't help but laugh. He had long felt that the effects of the Devouring Heaven Martial Spirit wouldn't be so simple, and now it seemed his intuition was right. However, the effect the Devouring Heaven Martial Spirit had just shown was truly unimaginable and too incredible.

But to be honest, his ability to come to this world was already an incredible thing. A few more incredible things wouldn't be surprising.

"Automatically performing martial arts, even clearly presenting the movement routes of yuan power. With this ability, won't my future cultivation of martial arts be much easier?"

Excitement was evident on his face. His eyes lit up, and he quickly took out the Fufeng Sword Technique and the Vajra Fist manual from his chest, sitting down to observe them without a word. If the Devouring Heaven Martial Spirit really had the ability to perfectly perform martial arts, then these two techniques should also be within reach.

Without a sword in hand, he started with the Vajra Fist. Focusing his mind, he quickly entered the world of the Vajra Fist. As he began to understand the Vajra Fist, the Devouring Heaven Martial Spirit appeared again. The martial spirit's image moved, and the light figure performing the martial arts appeared in his mind.

The Vajra Fist had nine forms. After the small light figure appeared in his mind, the nine forms of the Vajra Fist came to life, as if they had jumped off the paper. Subconsciously, Yuan Feng began to follow the light figure's guidance, moving his yuan power and practicing the Vajra Fist along with the light figure.

He had never practiced martial arts before, so his movements should have been very stiff. However, the light figure's movements in his mind were so clear that, even if he just imitated them, he could definitely master the fist technique.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

In the not-so-large martial arts pavilion, Yuan Feng was completely immersed in the cultivation of the Vajra Fist. From the initial stiffness, his fist technique gradually became more flexible, and the variations of the moves increased. He discovered and ultimately performed more and more details of the Vajra Fist. The entire martial arts pavilion was filled with the sound of wind and thunder, and the sound of explosions never ceased.

"Vajra Fist, Sixth Form, Golden Splitting Rock!"

At a certain moment, Yuan Feng shouted in his heart, and the yuan power in his meridians suddenly surged into his right fist, which he then punched out.

"Bang!!!"

Unbeknownst to him, he had already moved close to the bookshelf. With this punch, a dull sound was heard, and his fist had already penetrated the sturdy rosewood bookshelf, creating a hole.

"Good, the Vajra Fist is indeed powerful. This punch of mine almost delivered a force of a thousand pounds!"

Pulling back his fist, his heart was long unable to calm down.

The Vajra Fist was an ordinary Yellow Rank martial technique, but even for a Yellow Rank martial technique, a cultivator at the Third Level of the Condensing Essence Realm could at most master the third form. However, with the help of the small light figure, he had unprecedentedly mastered the sixth form. The sixth form of the Vajra Fist delivered a force of a thousand pounds, which was already completely against the norm.

The power of martial arts is determined by the effectiveness of the technique. The more perfectly the technique is performed, the greater the power. Yuan Feng's sixth form of the Vajra Fist was more powerful than the fifth form performed by a cultivator at the Fourth or Fifth Level of the Condensing Essence Realm. This was the power of martial arts.

"Unfortunately, my yuan power is insufficient. Otherwise, this punch would have been even more powerful, and I might have been able to perform the seventh form in one go."

Smiling slightly, Yuan Feng was satisfied with this punch. "Hehe, learning martial arts is truly different. Now, I can truly be considered a martial artist! The power of my Vajra Fist is considerable, I think!"

Yuan power and martial arts are both very important. When the level of yuan power is similar, the one who masters a more profound martial art and performs it more perfectly will be stronger. He had heard that the Fifth Young Master, Yuan Ke, was also at the Third Level of the Condensing Essence Realm, but his Shattering Gold Palm had only reached the third form, with a force of only three hundred pounds. Compared to his sixth form of the Vajra Fist, which delivered a force of a thousand pounds, the difference was significant.

"Both the footwork and the fist technique have been practiced. Next, let's try the sword technique."

The cultivation methods of the Dragon Walking Steps and the Vajra Fist were already etched in his mind, and he now focused on the Fufeng Sword Technique.

As expected, when he began to understand the Fufeng Sword Technique, the Devouring Heaven Martial Spirit took effect again. The twelve forms of the Fufeng Sword Technique, each with thirty-six variations, were also etched in his mind without any error. With diligent practice, he could certainly reach a high level. At this moment, he could confirm that the Devouring Heaven Martial Spirit could indeed automatically perform martial arts, helping him understand the key points and variations of the techniques.

"Phew, another cheat, and this one seems even more shocking!"

The three manuals were already etched in his mind, and Yuan Feng put them back on the bookshelf. Reflecting for a moment, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

From a second-level martial artist equivalent to an ordinary person, he had leaped to a third-level martial artist and now discovered a heaven-defying cultivation method. He seemed to see a bright future beckoning.

"The next step is to focus on advancing my realm. The Third Level of the Condensing Essence Realm is far from enough!"

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he began to calculate in his mind. The Third Level of the Condensing Essence Realm was a high realm for his former self, but for his current self with the Devouring Heaven Martial Spirit, such a realm was insignificant. From now on, he needed to set his sights higher.

Leaving the martial arts pavilion, Yuan Feng felt that the world was full of hope. If the devouring ability had made him happy, then the ability to easily master martial arts made him feel confident. With these two abilities, the world was destined to tremble because of him.

"Energy, energy, what I lack most now is energy. This month's allowance is already used up. It's time to see my stepfather."

On the way, he pondered the resources he could rely on. Although he was no longer the former Yuan Feng, the fusion of two sets of memories made this world familiar to him. The relatives in this world felt no different to him.

The courtyard of the family head, Yuan Qingyun, was very quiet. Since Yuan Feng's mother passed away, only Yuan Qingyun lived in this courtyard, without even a servant, indicating that he deeply missed his wife.

When Yuan Feng entered the courtyard, a tall figure came into view.

Standing over seven feet tall, dressed in a green robe, his hands naturally behind his back, he was staring at an ancient phoenix tree, his back both imposing and somewhat lonely.

"Is this my father in this world? He seems to be a sentimental person!"

Walking into the courtyard from outside, Yuan Feng subconsciously lightened his steps. With the Dragon Walking Steps, he could walk without making any sound. The tranquility before him made him hesitant to break it.

"Hehe, heavy-hearted, it seems my father has many secrets in his heart!" After watching for a while, he could sense that Yuan Qingyun's mood was somewhat complex. He wasn't sure if it was due to the family's affairs, his future, or something else.

"Son greets father!"

After a moment, Yuan Feng finally spoke. He was eager to find ways to enhance his strength and didn't have time to linger with Yuan Qingyun.

"Hmm?"

The sudden voice behind him made Yuan Qingyun turn around abruptly, a look of surprise flashing across his face.

"Xiao Feng?"

Seeing Yuan Feng standing there with a warm smile, Yuan Qingyun was slightly taken aback. He had been standing there for so long and hadn't sensed anyone approaching. He hadn't noticed when Yuan Feng arrived.

"Son disturbs father's meditation, please do not blame me."

Facing this familiar yet slightly unfamiliar face, Yuan Feng felt a bit of excitement. In his previous life, he had been alone and never experienced the warmth of family. In this life, he had a father, even though his father had always been indifferent and never truly given him the warmth of a father, he still had a family.

"You child, I was just thinking about some things, there's no disturbance."

Yuan Qingyun's expression relaxed. Although he wasn't particularly fond of Yuan Feng, he was still his son, so he couldn't ignore him. As for not sensing Yuan Feng's approach, he assumed he had been too focused and simply overlooked it.

"Hmm? Xiao Feng, are your injuries healed?"

Regaining his senses, Yuan Qingyun noticed that Yuan Feng's bandages were gone, and he looked even more spirited than before the injury.

"Thank you, father, for your concern. I've used a lot of spirit plants these days, and I'm basically fine now." Smiling, he felt a sense of warmth. This was the first time he had experienced the warmth of family.

"By the way, father, after this injury, I felt my yuan power had improved, so I want to find some older spirit plants to solidify my foundation and see if I can break through to the Third Level of the Condensing Essence Realm. Please help me find a way."

The important thing was to get energy. There would be plenty of opportunities to feel the warmth of family later.

"What? Your yuan power has improved? Really?"

Indeed, hearing this, Yuan Qingyun's face lit up. Yuan Feng's inability to advance in cultivation had been a constant worry for him. Now, hearing about the improvement, he was overjoyed.

"Here, I have a thousand-year-old blood ginseng, which I obtained during my travels. Take it to nourish your body; it might help." Saying this, he produced a jade box and handed it to Yuan Feng.

"A thousand-year-old blood ginseng?" Seeing the jade box, Yuan Feng's face lit up, and he quickly took it. A thousand-year-old blood ginseng was extremely precious. Just one plant was worth dozens of times more than all the spirit plants he had consumed before. If he sold it in the market, it would be a priceless treasure. The fact that Yuan Qingyun gave it to him without hesitation showed his concern. It seemed his father actually cared for him.

"Thank you, father. I will return to cultivate and will not disappoint your expectations."

Taking the thousand-year-old blood ginseng, Yuan Feng didn't linger, bowed to Yuan Qingyun, and hurriedly left. The thousand-year-old blood ginseng was a great treasure for him. If not for not wanting others to know his secret, he would have eaten it right there.

Moreover, he knew his own situation. If the person before him noticed any inconsistencies and became suspicious, it would be troublesome.

"Eh, this kid..."

Watching Yuan Feng run off, Yuan Qingyun was stunned again. This was the first time he had seen Yuan Feng actively cultivate, which left him puzzled.

"Could a fall have made him more aware?"

Watching Yuan Feng leave, Yuan Qingyun shook his head and didn't think more about it. His gaze returned to the ancient phoenix tree, and his expression became wistful again.

"Wu'er, our child has grown up, but when will our family of three be reunited?"

Sighing, his face was filled with longing.
