Chapter 38

"Damn it, are you playing with us?"

Zhao Tiezhu broke down. "What kind of Elephant Swallowing Technique is this? You can't play with people like this!"

Many members of the Warrior Training Camp had already begun to use their fingers to scratch their throats, trying to vomit out the观音土 (clay) and wood they had just eaten.

However, this was useless, because the观音土 (clay) was very sticky. Once it entered the stomach, it would sink and then stick together, forming a solid mass, making it very difficult to vomit out.

The men of the Warrior Training Camp even vomited bile, but only managed to spit out some wood chips, with the观音土 (clay) still stuck in their stomachs.

For a moment, all the men were dumbfounded.

"Sir Zhang, don't joke with us. We didn't understand that move at all!" Many of the men were almost in tears.

"How could anyone learn such a move!"

Faced with the complaints of the Warrior Training Camp members, Zhang Yuxian remained cold and indifferent. He simply performed the twelve moves of the Elephant Swallowing Technique again, this time intentionally slowing down to let the men see more clearly.

However, Yi Yun noticed that when Zhang Yuxian slowed down, the moves lost a certain charm!

And it was precisely this charm that seemed to be the essence of the moves!

"I'll give it a try!"

At this moment, Lian Chengyu stepped forward.

Lian Chengyu had also eaten a lot of观音土 (clay) and wood.

Lian Chengyu, who had some insight,勉强 (barely) managed to demonstrate Zhang Yuxian's moves, but in reality, the moves were severely distorted.

Of course, only Yi Yun could see this. People like Zhao Tiezhu were already in awe.

"Lian Young Master, you are truly a god!"

"Amazing, you can actually do such moves!"

Zhao Tiezhu and the others started to flatter Lian Chengyu, genuinely admiring him, feeling that Lian Chengyu was incredibly impressive.

However, Zhang Yuxian sized up Lian Chengyu for a while and then said indifferently, "Not bad."

This evaluation left Lian Chengyu feeling somewhat defeated. The moves were indeed very difficult, and he thought he had done a pretty good job.

But Zhang Yuxian only said "not bad," which seemed to set the bar too high.

Lian Chengyu had always been confident in his talent. He felt that it wasn't that he did poorly, but that Zhang Yuxian was too strict and stingy with praise.

At this moment, Lian Chengyu noticed that Zhang Yuxian's gaze was fixed on someone. Following his gaze, he saw Yi Yun.

Yi Yun had his eyes closed, seemingly in a daze.

Lian Chengyu sneered inwardly. This kid, after eating so much wood and观音土 (clay), must be in great pain now.

The Elephant Swallowing Technique was so difficult, with a set of moves that were infinitely mysterious. How could a twelve-year-old kid possibly learn it? It would be best if his stomach burst and he died from the pain!

Because of Zhang Yuxian's praise for Yi Yun, Lian Chengyu had always harbored great hostility towards him.

At this moment, Yi Yun was completely immersed in his own world.

Lian Chengyu's moves, Yi Yun only watched halfway, because only a few of Lian Chengyu's moves were barely accurate. Even these few barely accurate moves, Yi Yun noticed, lacked the charm!

From this, Yi Yun suddenly gained some insight. He closed his eyes and began to recall and think.

In Yi Yun's mind, Zhang Yuxian's moves played back like a movie, over and over again.

After breaking through to the Meridian Realm, Yi Yun's senses were extremely sharp. Although Zhang Yuxian's moves were fast, Yi Yun still gained some insight.

With his two lifetimes of experience and high insight, and with his sea of consciousness nourished by both purple crystal energy and meridian energy, the moves in Yi Yun's mind became increasingly clear, first in form, then gradually each move gained its charm.

Yi Yun realized that the Elephant Swallowing Technique was extremely mysterious.

First, the stomach had to consume the hardest-to-digest and hardest-to-excrete substances, then through a set of mysterious moves, the stomach was exercised.

If one focused on the form of the moves, the charm of the moves would inevitably decrease.

But if one wanted to express the charm, the form would no longer exist.

This was a very magical secret technique!

Yi Yun had this thought, feeling that the mystery of the Elephant Swallowing Technique even surpassed that of the "Dragon Sinew Tiger Bone Fist." But why did it become the main technique of the Jinlong Guard and spread widely among the lower ranks?

Now was not the time to think about these things. Following the feeling in his mind, Yi Yun slowly extended his hands.

Suddenly, Yi Yun moved. His eyes were slightly closed, not distinguishing directions, and he began to perform Zhang Yuxian's moves based on a mysterious feeling in his mind.

One after another, Yi Yun's thoughts became clearer, and his speed increased.

To the point where others felt that Yi Yun's figure seemed to blur!

Zhang Yuxian's eyes suddenly lit up.

Yi Yun, on his first practice of the Elephant Swallowing Technique, actually managed to capture a hint of its charm! This had nothing to do with cultivation or physical constitution, but rather with insight.

The difficulty of the Elephant Swallowing Technique lay in understanding the charm of the moves. Zhang Yuxian himself had taken a long time to master it, during which he had suffered greatly from eating观音土 (clay).

This kid, Yi Yun, also had such high insight!

The Warrior Training Camp members, including Zhao Tiezhu, were all stunned when they saw Yi Yun's moves. They did not understand the mystery of the Elephant Swallowing Technique, but even they could see that Yi Yun's moves were not random, as they also produced a sense of mystery that was hard to understand!

"This... this kid..."

All the men were dumbfounded. They did not need to judge whether Yi Yun's moves were standard, because just by seeing Zhang Yuxian's increasingly bright eyes, they could conclude the disheartening fact that Yi Yun had indeed performed the Elephant Swallowing Technique!

"How is this possible? This low-born little slave learned Sir Zhang's moves after just two demonstrations?"

Zhao Tiezhu and the others did not know how many times Zhang Yuxian had demonstrated the moves. They only saw that Zhang Yuxian's moves blurred twice, so they assumed he had demonstrated them twice.

"Such difficult moves, and he actually learned them?"

The members of the Warrior Training Camp found it hard to accept. They had always been a step above others, and they considered themselves part of the ruling class of the Lian Clan.

But today, they were overshadowed by a lowly commoner, who had completely suppressed them.

Their pride in lifting stone rollers was worthless in Zhang Yuxian's eyes, and the things Zhang Yuxian taught them, they could not learn at all.

Even Lian Chengyu, the most promising new star in the clan, seemed to be overshadowed by Yi Yun!

Lian Chengyu clenched his fists, his eyes filled with deep anger and a sense of defeat, which slowly turned into a cold killing intent! (By the way, Zhenwu was sealed on the Three Rivers last week.
