Chapter 8

After Ren Yao left, Xiao Ran calmed his mind and began to study the new secret manual in his hand.

"Star Gathering Fist?"

With a light exclamation, Xiao Ran immediately flipped open the manual.

"The Star Gathering Fist harnesses the power of the stars in the sky to refine the body, using the power of the stars to continuously cleanse the meridians and marrow, unblocking all the body's meridians and acupoints; it refines the flesh and bones."

Seeing this, hope ignited in Xiao Ran.

"The Star Gathering Fist consists of thirty-six forms. When all thirty-six forms are mastered, it will unblock every acupoint in the body, and each acupoint will be refined into a dantian, capable of continuously producing and storing true qi, making every acupoint a source of power. Each acupoint corresponds to a star in the sky, and when the fist technique is completed, each punch can draw upon the power of the stars."

Xiao Ran was excited, feeling that this fist technique was not just powerful.

"To unblock all the acupoints in the body is to achieve minor success. To fill all the acupoints is to achieve major success."

This is too simple!

There are only a hundred or so acupoints in the human body, and unblocking them all should be a piece of cake.

With anticipation, Xiao Ran continued reading.

"To master this set of fist techniques and achieve minor success, no extraordinary talent is required, only a steadfast heart, repeatedly practicing the thirty-six forms from the first to the last until all the body's meridians are unblocked."

"How many acupoints are there in the human body? Through continuous research, I have divided the body's acupoints into two types: bright acupoints and hidden acupoints. Bright acupoints are those that are easily found, most of which have already been discovered by people; hidden acupoints are hidden within the body and are difficult to find, some of which can only be unblocked under certain conditions. The two types of acupoints combined total over a thousand, and when all the acupoints are successfully refined, the body will have over a thousand sources of power."

Xiao Ran drew a sharp breath. Over a thousand acupoints, is this a joke! Unblocking them all would take a lifetime, let alone filling them all. Unblocking and filling are two different things. The more powerful the technique, the harder it is to master. Over a thousand acupoints, how long would it take? No wonder it says a steadfast heart is needed.

Sigh! This is not just difficult to practice. After reading all the content, Xiao Ran placed the manual in his chest, closed his eyes, and the thirty-six forms of the fist technique flashed through his mind, memorizing each move without a single mistake.

He has a photographic memory!

Xiao Ran took a deep breath and began to practice the forms slowly.

Once, twice, three times, ...

Xiao Ran's practice became more and more proficient, smoother and smoother. As time passed, in the scorching summer, he felt a sense of coolness, becoming more and more spirited, as if there was an endless source of strength within him.

...

While Xiao Ran was immersed in his practice, his master Ren Yao was hard at work on Zi Yu's bed. When the storm finally subsided, he got out of bed, picked up the scattered clothes, and put them on slowly.

Zi Yu lay lazily on the bed, her eyes fixed on Ren Yao, lost in memories. If it weren't for her father's strong opposition, she might have eloped with him long ago. Recalling the scene of him charging alone into the Zhengyi Sect, Zi Yu's heart was filled with sweetness. Thinking of herself now, Zi Yu couldn't help but sigh softly; today, she had fulfilled her dream from back then.

Seeing Ren Yao about to leave, Zi Yu threw off the covers and walked out, exposing her snow-white skin and alluring figure to the air. She walked barefoot, her steps full of charm, swaying towards Ren Yao.

Her voluptuous and alluring body pressed tightly against his back, her arms wrapped around his waist, holding him firmly. Her cheek pressed lightly against his back, her eyes half-closed, she pleaded in a near-begging tone, "Stay, will you?"

Ren Yao laughed, sighing, "I would, but your man would never agree."

Zi Yu pouted, "Hmph! No matter, you must come to see me often from now on."

Ren Yao smiled bitterly, "That's a bit too difficult, isn't it?"

"Hmph! If you don't come, I won't let you off."

With that, Zi Yu bit Ren Yao's shoulder hard.

Ren Yao was about to refuse when his eyes suddenly lit up. He quickly turned around, holding Zi Yu tightly, and looked down at the melancholy beauty. A devilish smile appeared on his face.

"Your man is here."

Ren Yao's smile made Zi Yu's heart tremble, and her body softened, collapsing into his arms. Her eyes, filled with desire, gazed at him, and she said indifferently, "So what?"

Ren Yao's smile grew wider, his hands caressing her shapely buttocks, savoring the exquisite sensation after being refined by the "Buttock Shake" technique. After a moment, Ren Yao sighed in satisfaction. A woman who has practiced seduction techniques is truly different, especially one who is deeply in love. The sensation, the feeling, is truly wonderful.

"If your man sees us like this, what do you think he'll do?"

Zi Yu's hand suddenly reached down, and she smiled, "Aren't you afraid he'll bring people to chase and kill you again?"

"Oh, is Yu afraid?"

"Hmph! As long as you dare, I'll go all out, even if I'm naked."

"Ha ha ha!"

In the small building, the two caressed each other's bodies and kissed passionately.

At this moment, Xuan Yangzi, with a gloomy expression, walked through the buildings, heading towards his wife's residence. Thinking of the current severe situation within the sect, he frowned deeply. Many people were already dissatisfied with him, and there were discussions about replacing the sect leader.

To make his position as sect leader more secure, Xuan Yangzi now visited his wife's small building every day, hoping to ease the tension between them. The reason he became the sect leader was because his father-in-law was the Grand Elder of the Zhengyi Sect. With his support, his position as sect leader would be unshakable.

Suddenly, Xuan Yangzi stopped, looking up at the building where his wife was. He sensed another person's presence there. Almost instantly, his anger surged. Just now, he suddenly felt the other person release their aura, as if deliberately challenging him, so brazenly.

It's him! That bastard is back!

In an instant, Xuan Yangzi knew who it was, and his anger reached the sky. This guy not only pulled him down from the throne of the world's number one, but also humiliated him repeatedly. All the opposition within the sect was due to him.

At this moment, he was in his wife's room, and it was clear what he was doing. He was here to take revenge!

Hate! Anger!

Xuan Yangzi wanted to shout and call for the sect members to kill this bastard. But he knew he couldn't do that; otherwise, everyone in the sect would know someone was sleeping with his wife, and he would become a laughingstock.

But just thinking of his wife being ravaged by the person he hated the most, his anger became uncontrollable. The vast sword qi in his meridians surged, and countless violent sword auras burst out, forming a sword domain hundreds of meters wide in an instant.

Buildings and trees were instantly shredded by the sword qi, turning into dust. The floor beneath his feet cracked and spread in all directions. His gaze turned into a sword, and with a flash of sword light, he struck towards his wife's small building.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Where the sword qi passed, everything was shattered.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion, a colorful barrier suddenly appeared, blocking his furious strike. The small building, protected by the barrier, remained unharmed. Seeing his strike fail, Xuan Yangzi felt humiliated. Roaring like a beast, he drew his sword, and with a flash of sword light, a violent sword aura slashed towards the small building.

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion, the colorful barrier was shattered, and a large hole appeared in the small building. Roaring, the enraged Xuan Yangzi held his sword and shot inside.

Inside the small building, wood splintered, and sword qi raged. The moment Xuan Yangzi rushed in, he saw his wife, naked, passionately kissing his greatest enemy. Countless pieces of wood and sword qi swirled around them, as if adding to the excitement.

They kissed so brazenly and passionately, their love so intense and self-forgetful, completely ignoring him, the legitimate husband. Especially when he saw his wife's hand reaching into his enemy's pants, the feeling of a huge green hat pressing down on him almost made him suffocate.

"Ah! I'll kill you, you dogs!"

Xuan Yangzi's blood seemed to boil, his anger reaching its peak. His hair was cut by the sword qi, dancing wildly like a demon. His eyes were bloodshot, his face twisted in a hideous expression, and he roared, his anger and violent sword qi cutting towards the entangled couple.

The temperature inside the small building instantly soared, and countless pieces of furniture vaporized in an instant.

In a flash, Ren Yao pulled Zi Yu behind him and grabbed the incoming sword qi with one hand. At the same time, a look of extreme surprise appeared on his face. Looking at Xuan Yangzi, he said with a good-natured tone, "Oh, isn't this Xuan Yangzi, the great sect leader? Who made you so angry? As a fellow husband, I'll help you deal with him."

"Poof!"

The violent sword qi was caught by Ren Yao's single hand. Seeing this, Xuan Yangzi roared, and the captured sword qi trembled and struggled, exploding in an instant, sending Ren Yao flying.

"Bang!" A human-shaped hole appeared in the roof of the small building, and Ren Yao's figure disappeared into it.

"Why are you with him?"

With his enemy gone, Xuan Yangzi did not chase after him. He roared at his naked wife, a violent sword domain expanding and contracting around him, as if about to swallow the entire small building.

"Are you the only one allowed to play with women, and not allow me to seduce men? Hmph! What? Want to kill me? Come on, don't think I'm afraid of you."

"You!"

Xuan Yangzi trembled with anger, tightening his grip on his sword, ready to strike her with one blow.

Suddenly, Ren Yao's voice drifted from the hole.

"Xuan Yangzi, last time you brought people to kill me, today I'm sleeping with your wife. Ha ha ha! Although your sword skills are mediocre and your cultivation is poor, your wife is really something. Her enthusiasm in bed, her moans, are truly unforgettable, ha ha ha!"

Ren Yao's voice was so loud it almost echoed throughout the entire Yunmeng Mountains.

"Ah! Ren, I'll never let you live!"

Xuan Yangzi's reason instantly shattered. He roared and rushed out of the small building, chasing after Ren Yao. The sword qi in his meridians surged like a flood, accelerating faster and faster, and a towering anger rose to the sky. His aura grew stronger, as if something was about to burst out of his body.

"Snap!"

A sharp sound, Xuan Yangzi's body trembled, his meridians vibrating, and the sword qi surged. In an instant, he broke through his previous bottleneck, his cultivation increasing sharply. But at this moment, he had no joy, only the desire to kill his enemy.

"Time Reversal!"

The sword technique flowed in his mind, and a sword intent rose to the sky. Xuan Yangzi instantly unleashed his most powerful strike. The sword qi, like a flash of lightning, froze time for a second.

Ren Yao's eyes showed a hint of surprise, not expecting Xuan Yangzi to break through his bottleneck and increase his cultivation nearly twofold. Instantly, his over a thousand acupoints vibrated, like stars suddenly shining brightly, and a more brilliant sword qi shot out to meet it.

"Boom!"

The sword qi collided, and a deafening explosion echoed throughout the Yunmeng Mountains. A black hole several dozen miles wide suddenly appeared in the sky above the Zhengyi Sect, and countless stars fell, causing everyone in the sect to look up at the black hole.

At the same time, a loud, arrogant voice echoed through the sky.

"Ha ha ha! Xuan Yangzi, even if your cultivation increases tenfold, you're no match for me. Accept your fate in this life!"

In a secluded room within the Zhengyi Sect, a middle-aged man in purple, sitting cross-legged on a mat, suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes. Instantly, a purple lightning bolt shot out, hitting the wall of the room. As the room trembled, he turned into a beam of light and disappeared.

"That bastard is back again! Does he think the Zhengyi Sect is made of paper? He comes and goes as he pleases, so arrogant. Everyone, come out! Don't let that Ren escape. This time, we must kill him at all costs, or our reputation as the number one sect in the world will be ruined."

As the middle-aged man in purple spoke, over a hundred figures rushed out of the Zhengyi Sect, each with cultivation surpassing Xuan Yangzi. Seeing this, Ren Yao turned and ran, shooting towards the sky.
