Chapter 15

Lian Clan's Training Ground ——

More than thirty strong men were practicing martial arts in the field, causing sand and stones to fly!

They were all members of the Lian Clan's Warrior Reserve Camp, and their instructor was Yao Yuan, a Lian Clan coach. He was the third warrior to reach the Fifth Layer of Mortal Blood, after the clan leader and Lian Chengyu.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sound of punches and roars filled the air. These members of the Warrior Reserve Camp were all cultivated with the clan's full resources.

It was early winter, and the cold wind was strong, yet the members of the Warrior Reserve Camp were sweating profusely from their training!

However, on the high platform, Coach Yao Yuan frowned and shouted, "Stop!"

Yao Yuan's roar was like a thunderbolt!

The training warriors immediately stopped.

"I taught you the 'Dragon Sinew Tiger Bone Fist,' a basic cultivation method passed down from the Tai E Divine Kingdom! Although this 'Dragon Sinew Tiger Bone Fist' has only eighteen moves, each move is profound! You fools, you only learned the moves but failed to grasp their essence, making them nothing more than a show, utterly useless!"

Yao Yuan's words negated all the efforts these men had put into their training!

However, no one dared to challenge him, as Yao Yuan had high prestige in the Warrior Reserve Camp.

Lian Chengyu had high prestige because of his future; he could become a Purple Blood Warrior, even reaching a realm beyond Purple Blood.

Yao Yuan's high prestige, however, was due to his past.

Yao Yuan was not originally from the Lian Clan; he was an outsider. He had once cultivated to the peak of the Purple Blood Realm, but later, due to being injured by his enemies, he fell to the ordinary warrior realm and sought refuge in the Lian Clan, where he has lived for many years.

He may have lost his strength, but Yao Yuan's experience remained. No one dared to challenge him as the instructor of the Warrior Reserve Camp.

After all, Lian Chengyu was taught by Yao Yuan!

Lian Chengyu, at a young age and born in a small clan like the Lian Clan, would not have achieved such success without the guidance of a master.

"Do not underestimate the 'Dragon Sinew Tiger Bone Fist.' In the Tai E Divine Kingdom, the most precious is the 'Tai E Holy Law,' but you can only access it after reaching a higher cultivation realm. Below the Purple Blood Realm, it is useless! Below the Purple Blood Realm, you must cultivate the 'Dragon Sinew Tiger Bone Fist'! Even the royal members of the Tai E Divine Kingdom practice it!"

"The 'Dragon Sinew Tiger Bone Fist' is a top-tier body cultivation method. If you were to calculate its value, not even a city could be exchanged for it! The Tai E Divine Kingdom made it public to strengthen the nation, giving countless poor people the opportunity to practice martial arts and combat the various dangers in the Great Wasteland. Learning this set of boxing techniques is your fortune!"

"To reach the Fifth Layer of Mortal Blood and the Qi Induction Realm, you must cultivate bravery, long qi, thunder sound, and meridians in sequence! To achieve these, you must train your strength, muscles, bones, and internal organs! This set of eighteen moves of the 'Dragon Sinew Tiger Bone Fist' includes all of these!"

"If you can truly master the first six moves of the 'Dragon Sinew Tiger Bone Fist,' you will be able to lift a thousand-jin tripod, draw a nine-stone bow, and shoot an arrow a thousand steps away, still piercing through chainmail armor!"

Yao Yuan loudly instructed on the field, and every word fell into Yi Yun's ears.

"Lifting a thousand-jin tripod, drawing a nine-stone bow..."

Yi Yun listened with great interest. In this world, nine stones equal nine hundred jin!

"From what Yao Yuan said, the 'Dragon Sinew Tiger Bone Fist' is indeed a good set of boxing techniques. I didn't expect the Tai E Divine Kingdom to share such a basic boxing technique to strengthen the nation, showing a bit of the sage's demeanor."

Yi Yun held his breath, staring intently at the training ground. He came here to secretly learn martial arts!

Before crossing over, the only boxing techniques Yi Yun knew were the military physical training he learned during military training, which could only be considered a form of kickboxing. In this world, they would definitely not work. Now, Yi Yun's physical condition had improved dramatically, but he lacked cultivation methods and martial skills, which would certainly put him at a disadvantage in real combat!

Moreover, without cultivation methods, his future cultivation speed would be much slower.

Especially as his realm increased, the problems would become more significant. Otherwise, the 'Tai E Holy Law' of the Tai E Divine Kingdom would not be so precious!

"I will now demonstrate it for you, watch carefully!"

Yao Yuan's voice was thunderous, and Yi Yun was fully focused.

"This move is called 'Tiger Descending the Mountain,' a move to train the tendons!"

Yao Yuan stood before a wooden post, his left leg stretched forward, his left hand grabbing his left ankle, his right knee bent, his body leaning to the side, and his waist and back arched like a bow, even making a faint sound.

This posture was very strange, giving the impression that his body was a fully drawn bow, and Yao Yuan's right fist, pressed against his waist, was like an arrow on the string!

Suddenly, Yao Yuan moved!

His body suddenly straightened.

"Snap—"

At that moment, Yi Yun clearly heard a very clear sound from Yao Yuan's body.

Yao Yuan's right fist shot out like lightning, striking the wooden post!

"Boom!"

The wooden post shattered into pieces!

The surrounding members of the Warrior Reserve Camp let out exclamations of surprise.

"Coach Yao is so powerful!"

"Damn, such a thick wooden post, shattered with one punch. Coach Yao's fist must be made of iron!"

The group of strong men began to flatter him, but they were genuinely impressed. In the Great Wasteland, the strong are always revered.

However, facing the flattery of the strong men, Yao Yuan's face turned cold.

"Is all you see just my fist?"

"Hmph! I said before, 'Tiger Descending the Mountain' is a move to train the tendons! My punch shattered the wooden post not because my fist is strong, but because I used the power of my tendons!"

"Each person's body is a treasure! Do you know what the bowstring of the Star Shooting Bow in the Tai E Divine Kingdom is made of?"

Yao Yuan's question left the strong men looking at each other, as they had never even heard of the Star Shooting Bow, let alone know the material of the bowstring.

"Is it made of silk from the Heavenly Silkworm?"

"Is it made of the tendons of a legendary dragon?"

Yao Yuan shook his head. "It is made from the tendons of the founding emperor of the Tai E Divine Kingdom, who used his own tendons to make the bowstring of the Star Shooting Bow after his death!"

Yao Yuan's words left the strong men stunned.

A bowstring made from human tendons!?

"Exactly! My move 'Tiger Descending the Mountain' is about fully stretching my body, using my bones as the bow and my tendons as the string, making my punch 'shoot' out! The key to this move is to perfectly utilize the power of your tendons! So 'Tiger Descending the Mountain' is a move to train the tendons, not the fist!"

"Did you not hear the sound from my body when I punched?"

At the moment Yao Yuan punched, a very clear sound, "Snap—," was heard.

Yi Yun heard it clearly; the sound was like the bowstring when an arrow is shot.

"'Tiger Descending the Mountain' is about repeatedly stretching the tendons in your body, making them stronger and more elastic, through repeated training. When 'Tiger Descending the Mountain' is practiced to a high level, the sound of the tendons when you punch can startle a lone goose in the sky! This is called 'Startled Goose Falling from the Bow'!"

"Another move in the 'Dragon Sinew Tiger Bone Fist' is 'Dragon Soaring to the Ninth Heaven,' which is a move to train the bones. When this punch is thrown, the sound of the bones cracking can be heard, like distant thunder in the sky, rumbling but not striking!"

"Thunder rumbling in the clouds, startling the goose from the bow. If you can reach this level, you will have achieved something in the 'Dragon Sinew Tiger Bone Fist'!"

Yao Yuan's words left the strong men wide-eyed and slack-jawed. This was too exaggerated!

Could humans really reach such a level?

Seeing the expressions of the strong men, Yao Yuan knew he was asking too much.

He continued, "The level of 'Thunder Rumbling in the Clouds, Startled Goose Falling from the Bow' is indeed difficult for you. I don't expect you to reach this level. If you can make your tendons produce a sound like a bowstring, even a light sound, and make your bones crack when you punch, I will be satisfied!"

"In that case, you will have勉强 reached the Third Layer of Mortal Blood, the Thunder Sound Realm."

As Yao Yuan taught the strong men, Yi Yun was filled with excitement.

Thunder rumbling in the clouds, startling the goose from the bow!

Is it possible for me to reach this level?

Yao Yuan had described the 'Dragon Sinew Tiger Bone Fist' as something "not even a city could be exchanged for." In this world, cities are far more valuable than cities on Earth. In the Great Wasteland, each city must withstand the tests of the wasteland beasts, and without numerous experts, it cannot survive. Establishing a city requires spilling countless amounts of blood!

Lian Chengyu merely offered the lure of moving the Lian Clan to a city, and so many poor people supported his cultivation, which shows the value of this offer.

"I must carefully observe this set of boxing techniques. If I can achieve something, the selection of warriors in the Tai E Divine Kingdom will be no problem. I might even have a chance to strive for the title of 'National Scholar,' and then let Sister Xiaorou share in my glory!"

Yi Yun had come to this world, and since he was here, he would make the best of it.

Yi Yun was not content to spend his life in this small Lian Clan, living a precarious and hungry life.
