Chapter 19

However, the Hell Wind did not last long, rolling and spinning in the small courtyard for only about four breaths before disappearing.

After the attack, Huang Xiaolong did not swing his blade again but instead pondered the Hell Wind formed by the Asura Blade’s attack. Standing there, it seemed as if clusters of Hell Wind were constantly spinning in his mind, the clear trajectory of the Hell Wind’s sweeping and rolling vividly presented before his eyes.

Half an hour later, Huang Xiaolong suddenly moved, and the Asura Blade was swung out again. This time, eighteen blade lights were generated in the air, stirring the space and causing the air to swirl, forming two wind clusters. Compared to the previous time, these two wind clusters were even larger.

After the attack, Huang Xiaolong stood there motionless, recalling in his mind the trajectory and direction of the Hell Wind clusters from their formation to their spinning and rolling.

Half an hour later, Huang Xiaolong swung the Asura Blade again.

This process was repeated over and over again.

After each attack, Huang Xiaolong would stand there for half an hour to ponder before attacking again.

From morning to noon, to evening, when the last ray of sunlight began to fade, Huang Xiaolong swung the Asura Blade again, and the two Hell Wind clusters continuously spun, faintly emitting a heart-wrenching wailing sound, as if it came from the depths of hell.

Moreover, the Hell Wind clusters could now sustain their spinning for five breaths.

Huang Xiaolong, listening to the faint wailing sound from the Hell Wind, couldn't help but exhale. According to the blueprint, if the first move of the Hell Wind could produce the sound of hell, it would be considered a minor success!

If the first leader of the Asura Sect, Ren Wokuang, were to see Huang Xiaolong achieve a minor success in the first move of the Asura Sword Technique in just one day, he would be shocked speechless.

When Ren Wokuang obtained this technique by chance, it took him over two months to cultivate the Hell Wind to the point where it could produce the sound of hell.

But Huang Xiaolong only took one day!

Cultivating martial techniques is unrelated to martial spirits; it requires innate comprehension. In his previous life, Huang Xiaolong was a once-in-a-century martial genius. The martial techniques of his previous life were similar to the current ones, so it was not surprising that he could cultivate the first move of the Asura Sword Technique to a minor success in just one day.

As night fell, Huang Xiaolong stopped cultivating the Asura Sword Technique and returned to his room, sitting on the cold jade bed to cultivate the Asura Technique and martial qi.

Since breaking through to the fourth stage, Huang Xiaolong's dual-headed snake martial spirit not only split into a dual super martial spirit but also grew larger.

When Huang Xiaolong's martial spirit first awakened, the dual-headed snake was only the size of two palms, but now each martial spirit was half a meter in size.

The black and blue dragons coiled behind Huang Xiaolong, their mouths continuously devouring the Nine Nether Qi that rolled down from the void. After breaking through to the fourth stage, the Nine Nether Qi that fell from the void became even darker, thicker, and purer.

A faint dragon aura emanated from the black and blue dragons.

...

Time passed, and soon a month went by.

During this month, Huang Xiaolong, apart from cultivating the Asura Technique and the Yi Jin Jing, spent every day in the small courtyard cultivating the Asura Sword Technique. After a month, when Huang Xiaolong swung the Asura Blade, the blade light reached over forty rays, and the Hell Wind clusters were twice as large as they were a month ago.

One night, Huang Xiaolong went to the back mountain to test the power of the Hell Wind. He swung the Asura Blade, and the Hell Wind swept and rolled, crushing all the trees within ten meters. These crushed trees were covered with numerous blade marks, as if they had been slashed hundreds of times.

Seeing these crushed trees, Huang Xiaolong nodded in satisfaction. The Asura Sword Technique's attack power was indeed very strong, far surpassing the Demon Subduing Sword Technique of his family in his previous life.

"However, at this rate, it will take about half a year to cultivate the Hell Wind to the major success stage," Huang Xiaolong thought.

Although a month of hard cultivation had made the Hell Wind quite powerful, it was still far from the major success stage described in the blueprint.

If the Hell Wind were to reach the major success stage, the two Hell Wind clusters could change direction at will according to Huang Xiaolong's will.

After cultivating the Asura Sword Technique for a while on the back mountain, Huang Xiaolong slowly calmed his mind, stood with his feet apart, and raised his palms over his head, continuously absorbing the essence of heaven and earth. The essence of heaven and earth continuously flowed into Huang Xiaolong's body, converting into internal energy and gathering in his dantian.

After not long, suddenly, a golden light flashed in Huang Xiaolong's dantian, followed by a surge of light from his entire body, causing the surrounding air to ripple in all directions. Waves of internal energy were emitted from Huang Xiaolong's body.

Huang Xiaolong slowly retracted his palms and stopped, opening his eyes. The internal energy circulated, finally unblocking the meridians for the third posture of the Yi Jin Jing!

Now he could cultivate the fourth posture, the Star Plucking and Changing Posture.

Recalling the fourth posture of the Yi Jin Jing, Huang Xiaolong slightly moved his right foot forward, forming a diagonal stance with his left foot, bent his knees, and slightly lowered his body. He raised his right palm straight above his head, palm facing down, and tilted his head slightly to the right. His left arm bent behind his back, and he began to breathe slowly, causing the essence of heaven and earth to rush into his body.

The night passed.

When the sky began to lighten, Huang Xiaolong retracted his right palm and left arm, returning to a normal posture and stopping the cultivation of the fourth posture of the Yi Jin Jing.

After stopping the cultivation of the Yi Jin Jing, Huang Xiaolong exhaled, practiced the Cotton Palm technique once, and then returned to the Huang Family Manor. When he returned, it was already bright, and he casually walked to the East Hall, where he found his parents, Huang Peng and Su Yan, present. However, the atmosphere in the hall seemed off, and Huang Xiaolong couldn't help but ask, "Father, Mother, what's wrong?"

"Huang Wei has come out of the Spirit Pool cultivation!" Huang Peng said, looking at his son, his voice somewhat low, "I heard he has already reached the peak of the second stage!"

Huang Xiaolong then remembered that it had been a month since the Spirit Pool opened. The peak of the second stage? It seems the Spirit Pool's cultivation for a month is indeed quite effective, Huang Xiaolong thought with a cold smile.

"Father, Mother, you don't need to worry about the next annual meeting," Huang Xiaolong said. "Actually, I also reached the peak of the second stage yesterday!"

After speaking, Huang Xiaolong released his martial qi.

"This, the peak of the second stage!" Huang Peng and Su Yan sensed the martial qi emanating from their son, their faces filled with surprise.

"Xiaolong, this!" Huang Peng couldn't help but look at his son. Could it be that his son had another fortuitous encounter? Otherwise, it would be impossible to reach the peak of the second stage so quickly.

Huang Xiaolong smiled, "Father, Mother, you don't need to ask about this."

Huang Peng and Su Yan exchanged glances, realizing that their son must have another secret. However, since their son didn't want to say more, they didn't press further.

"Good, Xiaolong, as long as you can break through to the third stage by the end of the year, even if you can't defeat Huang Wei, I will allow you to cultivate on the back mountain in the future!" Huang Peng said, looking at his son.
