A night passed without incident.
Wang Ming and Liu Yan each consolidated their realms, adapting to the new energy.
As for Li Hao and Yuan Shuo, they did not rest either. The master and apprentice were both reading, but not martial arts books; just some basic common knowledge books.
Of course, Li Hao seriously suspected that under the cover of the book his teacher was reading, there were the books from the third row.
In the morning, Liu Yan left first, while Wang Ming stayed to continue consolidating his realm.
...
In the study.
Li Hao and Yuan Shuo had read books all night, and neither of them had slept last night.
The moment Wang Ming opened the super energy lock, it actually had some impact on both of them.
After reading books all night, Yuan Shuo might have been thinking about something. When morning came, he suddenly looked at Li Hao and said, "The five super energy locks that Wang Ming saw were the ones for his limbs and lungs. Thus, he activated the Metal-type super energy."
Li Hao put down the book and looked at his teacher.
Yuan Shuo continued, "If we look at just one type, opening the super energy lock for the heart should be the Fire-type super energy."
Li Hao nodded, he felt the same way.
Yuan Shuo lightly tapped the table and said, "What if all five types are opened?"
Li Hao showed a puzzled look, five types?
"Why not?" Yuan Shuo said calmly.
Li Hao was taken aback, what did he mean?
Yuan Shuo tapped his head, fell into thought, and after a moment said, "After the five types are balanced, even if it's not inner strength, it shouldn't be simple super energy!"
"After I entered the Doushan realm, I actually felt the inner strength nurturing the body and strengthening the five organs!"
He looked at Li Hao, and fell into a struggle: "Beyond Doushan, there's no way forward! What is the one who can defeat ten thousand?"
"I'm thinking, when a martial artist reaches this point, the weakness lies in the internal organs... If my internal organs become extremely powerful... nurturing the internal organs, waiting for the super energy locks of the five organs to open naturally, will a powerful force appear, allowing me to transform both internally and externally, and thus enter a new realm?"
The moment Wang Ming opened the super energy lock on his left arm, the energy burst was too clear for Yuan Shuo to feel.
The human body is a treasure trove!
He didn't want to forcibly open the super energy locks, leading to inner strength being consumed and external forces taking over.
But if the internal organs were nurtured to the extreme, and the super energy locks were naturally unlocked, what kind of scene would that be?
He looked at Li Hao: "You have been nurturing your five organs. Do you think the super energy locks of the five organs are weaker or stronger now?"
"Stronger!"
Li Hao answered truthfully, and after some thought, added: "Before, I could still feel the existence of the super energy locks, but now it's hard to feel... It feels like the bucket is deeper! It can hold more energy, so the super energy locks of my five organs are now harder to appear."
"Do the super energy locks still exist?"
"Exist!"
Li Hao nodded again: "They must exist. If they didn't, I would be able to feel it."
"What if your five organs become so powerful that they can open the super energy locks? If they open naturally, do you think you will have a burst of power?"
Li Hao fell into deep thought, this was unknown, he couldn't say for sure.
From his own feelings... Li Hao gave a sincere answer: "It's possible! The five organs have absorbed a lot of the essence of the five elements, but the organs have only become a bit stronger. If I absorbed so much mysterious energy, did it all dissipate? Impossible! So, the five organs must have a place to store energy, nurturing all the energy I have!"
"That's what I guessed!"
Yuan Shuo smiled and said after a moment: "The five organs store essence and qi without leaking, so they are full but not solid."
Li Hao understood the meaning of these words.
Ancient texts recorded that the five organs store essence and qi, and they store without leaking.
After some thought, Yuan Shuo continued: "The five organs are often related to the six腑 (fu, organs). The five organs are full but not solid, while the six腑 (fu, organs) are solid but not full..."
He fell into his own thoughts.
After a long while, he said: "Let's not worry about the six腑 (fu, organs) for now, they are more abstract! The five organs are more practical. The five organs, also known as the five organ spirits. And Doushan, nurturing the spirit! The spirit connects to the five organs, and the organ spirits emerge..."
He thought of many things, and at that moment, he suddenly said: "I nurture the spirit with the Five Animal Exercises! The Five Animal Spirits, the Five Organ Spirits... one spirit, one organ! Breaking the super energy locks, nurturing the five spirits, do you think I have a chance to reach a higher level?"
At that moment, Li Hao quickly thought.
He understood his teacher's meaning. His teacher was saying that using the five postures of the Five Animal Exercises to break the five super energy locks of the five organs, or to absorb and nurture, not just to break them.
Then, integrating the five postures and the five spirits to enter a new realm.
Is it possible?
Li Hao didn't know, but he knew it might be very dangerous.
Unknown paths are often like this, every step forward is extremely dangerous, but the rewards that come with it are also great.
If the teacher succeeds, what realm will he reach?
The realm of Zhenwan that the teacher mentioned?
No!
Absolutely not!
Breaking the super energy locks of the five organs is equivalent to breaking five super energy locks. In the super energy field, this is already the fifth level, above the Three Yang.
So, the teacher might directly cross the Three Yang level in super energy and step into the realm above the Three Yang.
Of course, that's according to the super energy classification.
For martial artists, it's different.
Li Hao looked at his teacher, and Yuan Shuo laughed: "I think it's worth a try! Without trying, how will we know if it works? This time, it's said that Sun Yifei will come. My current strength may not be able to match him, or rather... almost impossible!"
He laughed, not feeling ashamed, and sighed: "He is in the late Three Yang stage, and I had to fight for my life to kill an early Three Yang Qiao Feilong! Facing him... I might die. Losing to others is fine. What I can't tolerate in my life is losing to someone I once defeated!"
"I once said, those I suppressed will be under my control for life. I don't want to be controlled by someone I once defeated when I'm old. Sun Yifei is not an option, and on the Yinghongyue side, if I have the chance, I will eventually take revenge!"
Li Hao said solemnly: "Has the teacher made a decision?"
"Decided!"
Yuan Shuo said slowly: "Actually, when you were nurturing your five organs, I thought about it. Until last night, when Wang Ming opened the super energy lock, I saw how powerful the inner strength is, and I made up my mind. I want to nurture my five organs! Fortunately, my Five Animal Exercises are the most suitable and the best match!"
"Five organs nurture five postures, five spirits... when the five spirits emerge from the organs... I will either die or advance to the realm above Doushan!"
He looked at Li Hao and said: "Heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, tiger, bear, deer, ape, bird, one organ, one animal! Heart and fire, ape, the heart nurtures the heart ape! Bear and earth, earth nurtures the spleen, the spleen nurtures the bear! Tiger and kidneys, strengthening the kidneys... Bird and lungs, deer and liver..."
Yuan Shuo said a lot, explaining his thoughts and ideas.
Nurturing the five spirits in the five organs, and finally breaking out of the organs... no, breaking out of the locks.
Li Hao listened attentively.
He knew that his teacher was afraid that if something happened, these things would be lost.
Is nurturing the five spirits in the five organs correct?
If the ancients had a path, they wouldn't have taken this one.
No one in ancient times could have practiced the Five Animal Exercises, or developed the five postures, so the teacher's path must be unique and original.
Perhaps in the broad direction, it might be similar to the ancients, but in the details, it must be the teacher's own path.
Not to mention, even if the teacher really succeeds, Li Hao might not be able to learn or use the five postures.
But at least, it's a path!
In the end, Yuan Shuo showed a defiant smile: "Xiao Hao, I want to nurture the five organ spirits now! In terms of strength, there shouldn't be any changes for the time being, but if the five spirits don't emerge, I probably won't improve anymore! So, after some consideration... the fire energy I used to kill Qiao Feilong, I will use it first to see if I can cultivate the heart fire ape."
Li Hao quickly said: "Teacher, that's right! We still have 400 units of the Five Elements energy and about 200 units of unattributed energy... the teacher can use it all!"
Yuan Shuo looked at him and said softly: "I originally wanted to save it for you to use after Doushan to quickly strengthen your five organs, but now... forget it, if I succeed, I won't lack it! However, I still need some sword energy..."
"Teacher, take it freely!"
Li Hao took out the small sword and handed it to his teacher.
The teacher might face a strong enemy this time, and late Three Yang is strong, but if the teacher really fights to the death, with the stone knife and the Blood Knife Technique, he might not necessarily lose.
But if a Doushan-level enemy comes, the teacher will definitely lose and die!
If the five organ spirits can be nurtured, there might be a way to deal with it. Of course, if all five organ spirits emerge, it might be even better.
But now, it might be too late.
If the heart fire ape can emerge first, it might not be impossible.
Yuan Shuo said: "I will try to nurture one organ spirit first. If I fail, if you have the chance later, you can nurture the five organ spirits!"
"Balancing the five organs might be the best result. If one organ is strengthened first, there might be drawbacks."
Li Hao said seriously: "Teacher, rest assured, I will remember everything! If the teacher fails... when I nurture the five organ spirits, I will kill all the teacher's enemies and then pay respects to the teacher!"
Yuan Shuo laughed heartily!
Is it depressing?
Not at all!
Only comfort.
Well said!
It should be like this. I will take this path first. If
