Chapter 38

Tang Tian felt that this victory was somewhat muddled.

It wasn't until the referee announced his win that he still had a dazed look on his face. When he came to his senses and wanted to ask Di Han why he had conceded, Di Han had already walked far away, leaving only a back view. For some reason, Tang Tian felt that there was something wrong with Di Han, something that just didn't seem right.

But all of this came from his intuition. With his mind, trying to understand such a complex matter was simply impossible.

This was a match that left the vast majority of people puzzled.

However, the important thing was that Tang Tian had won.

Di Han's displayed strength also greatly surprised those who didn't know him well. Correspondingly, Tang Tian's strength was quickly recognized by everyone, especially the evaluations from the big shots after the match, which spread through various channels.

Tang Tian is very powerful!

This was no longer in doubt, but the current issue was that no one could fully understand just how powerful Tang Tian was.

So far, Tang Tian had only used Flash Fist and Empty Pile Step, two second-stage martial techniques. The things he had shown were quite limited. Most people's understanding of him included two aspects: one was that his foundation was extremely solid, solid to the point of being abnormal. The other was his Flash Fist, the perfect Flash Fist!

Even Wang Zhen, the big shot, praised the Flash Fist endlessly. Tang Tian had transformed into the first person in Starwind City to master the Flash Fist.

But it was only to this extent.

In the previous round, the opponent was too weak, and Tang Tian won very easily. In this round, Di Han had the strength to force Tang Tian to show more of his abilities, but for some reason, Di Han suddenly conceded.

In comparison, Di Han's strength, calmness, and decisiveness made many people start to reassess this reclusive genius.

Compared to Tang Tian's puzzling victory, Amoli's victory was uncontested. His strength far exceeded his opponent's, and he solved the opponent with just three strikes.

After two rounds of preliminaries, the two entered the main tournament.

Old Wei looked extremely pleased, but he was collectively mocked by the two.

After two rounds, the main tournament would be held a week later, giving the two a week of rest.

Tang Tian sat cross-legged, and the energy around him continuously flowed into his body, transforming into true energy. The capacity of his third-stage dantian pool was now twice as large as when he first entered the third stage.

The energy behind the light gate was very dense, and the Crane Qi Technique was a genuine ancient cultivation method, far more efficient than the methods commonly available on the market. Especially after Tang Tian cultivated the Crane Body, the efficiency of the Crane Qi Technique in refining true energy increased several times.

As Tang Tian's Crane Body continuously strengthened, the Crane Qi Technique became even more powerful. His meditation time was shortened to half an hour, during which he could fully recover. This greatly increased his cultivation progress.

The [Eight Steps of the Cicada], [Shadow Shattering Palm], [Continuous Joint Technique], [Small Collapse Fist], and [Eagle Claw Technique] were all cultivated to a certain level.

Among them, the [Small Collapse Fist] took the most time, and he was very close to cultivating the [Great Snow Collapse].

However, today, he did not continue to cultivate the [Great Snow Collapse] behind the light gate as usual. Instead, he sat cross-legged and continuously activated the Crane Qi Technique. He suddenly felt that something seemed off with the true energy in his body.

The true energy flowed slowly along the Crane-shaped meridians, continuously seeping into the ends of the more remote meridians. Tang Tian had been practicing the Crane Qi Technique for some time, and with his relentless hard work, the energy behind the light gate was very dense. The meridians connected to the third-stage dantian pool were almost fully penetrated in every corner.

The Crane shape in the meridians was vivid and lifelike.

The Crane shape outlined by the true energy looked quite young, like a small Crane, its wings not yet fully grown.

As the true energy continuously circulated, layer upon layer of true energy surged, and the small Crane seemed to be flapping its wings, creating a tingling sensation that traveled through the meridians. Boom! Tang Tian felt as if something had suddenly opened up, and the true energy in the third-stage dantian pool overflowed, flowing downward into the second-stage dantian pool!

Not good!

Tang Tian was greatly alarmed. The circulation of true energy was always from bottom to top, commonly known as the Heavenly Ladder. He had never heard of true energy flowing downward from the top.

However, no matter how he tried to control it, more and more true energy continued to flow downward.

Tang Tian's mind went blank. The third-stage dantian pool contained third-stage true energy, and the second-stage dantian pool contained second-stage true energy. This was common knowledge.

What would happen if third-stage true energy flowed into the second-stage dantian pool?

Compared to the third-stage dantian pool, the second-stage dantian pool was much smaller.

Soon, the second-stage dantian pool was filled with true energy, and the next scene left Tang Tian speechless.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The third-stage true energy began to crystallize and grow upward along the walls of the pool, and in a moment, the walls of the second-stage dantian pool had risen by a factor of two.

The crystallization did not stop, continuously overflowing and growing.

The entire process lasted for a full hour.

When it ended, the capacity of the second-stage dantian pool had increased by more than five times.

The previous second-stage dantian pool was only one-tenth the size of the third-stage dantian pool, but now it was half the size of the third-stage dantian pool.

Tang Tian suddenly realized that this meant his true energy had increased significantly.

Thinking about this, Tang Tian was overjoyed.

The increase in true energy usually came from gradual accumulation, growing bit by bit. Such a sudden surge was something he had never experienced. He began to actively circulate the Crane Qi Technique, and a clear crane cry echoed in his ears. The true energy became more responsive to his will.

Energy continuously flowed into his body, refined into true energy through the meridians, and the true energy continuously poured into the newly expanded second-stage dantian pool.

Gradually, the second-stage dantian pool refilled, and just as Tang Tian was about to end this unique cultivation, the true energy in the second-stage dantian pool began to flow freely through the connected meridians.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the third-stage true energy flowed into the second-stage meridians, it was like water droplets falling into boiling oil, causing a series of explosions, unstoppable.

Each explosion made Tang Tian's body tremble.

Tang Tian's body shook like he was having a seizure.

The third-stage true energy was invincible in these lower-stage meridians, encountering no resistance at all.

Tang Tian's mind was bombarded, and he could not react.

In just a quarter of an hour, all the second-stage meridians were fully penetrated, even the most remote corners.

The true energy finally calmed down.

Tang Tian came to his senses, and when his mind returned to his meridians, he was stunned.

A Crane shape had appeared in the fully penetrated second-stage meridians!

Is this... also a Crane Body?

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Heavenly Crane Seat.

Deep in Crane Peak, in an ancient wooden house, an old man with white hair and beard suddenly opened his eyes. His cloudy eyes suddenly burst with a dazzling light.

He muttered to himself, "Second Crane Body... Double Crane Body Power... Someone has actually cultivated the Double Crane Body Power!"

He suddenly stood up, his clothes fluttering without any wind, his aura astonishing.

Snap!

The wooden door opened on its own.

He took a step and slowly walked out of the wooden house.

Sunlight shone on him, warm and pleasant. The scent of green grass in the valley made him momentarily dazed, and his eyes returned to their calm, ancient well-like state. He took a step and walked along the valley path toward the valley entrance.

The two white-robed disciples guarding the valley entrance were stunned when they saw the old man.

After a moment, the two disciples came to their senses, extremely excited, and bowed deeply in unison, "Elder Crane, you... you have emerged from seclusion!"

"Transmit the White Crane Order, all elders and above, gather in the Crane Hall," the old man said calmly.

The two disciples were shocked. The White Crane Order was the most urgent order of the Crane Sect, to be used only in matters of life and death for the sect.

Could a force be planning a large-scale attack on the Heavenly Crane Seat?

Daring not to ask more, they hurriedly responded, "Yes!"

They then gathered their energy and flew to the terrace, where several majestic white cranes were tethered. The two disciples leaped onto the cranes, and the clear crane cries echoed through the valley. The two cranes spread their wings and disappeared into the vast sea of clouds.

A moment later, the calm sea of clouds seemed to suddenly boil, and one by one, white cranes soared into the sky, breaking through the clouds and flying in all directions. Each crane carried a white-robed disciple of the Crane Sect, their faces filled with urgency.

The peaceful Heavenly Crane Seat was suddenly filled with a tense atmosphere.

The old man descended the steps, his expression firm and calm.

Three days later.

In the grand Crane Hall, disciples gathered, and all the elders were present. Everyone's expression was solemn, and the vast Crane Hall was silent, filled with tension.

At the top of the Crane Hall, Elder Crane sat cross-legged, and the elders below were tense and excited.

After ten years of seclusion, Elder Crane suddenly emerged, giving the Crane Sect a sense of direction. But the fact that he used the White Crane Order to gather them for a meeting as soon as he emerged must mean something significant had happened.

Elder Crane opened his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the elders below, and he said slowly,

"Three days ago, I suddenly sensed that someone had cultivated the Double Crane Body Power."

The expressions of all the elders instantly froze.

An eerie silence lasted for about ten seconds, and then the hall erupted.

"How is that possible!"

"Double Crane Body Power!"

"True transmission! Our Crane Sect's true transmission!"

...

The elders were all extremely excited, and the hall was in an uproar. The impact of this news on them was unimaginable.

Seeing the excitement of the younger generation, Elder Crane sighed silently. The Crane Sect's true transmission had been lost, and the sect's decline was due to this. The most crucial part, the Crane Body Power, had been missing for nine hundred years.

Each generation of Crane Sect disciples had tried to restore the Crane Body Power, but none had succeeded.

The Crane Body Power was invincible.

But the legendary Crane Body had not been seen for nine hundred years.

Now, someone had cultivated the Double Crane Body Power. The Double Crane Body Power was a higher stage of the Crane Body Power, requiring the cultivation of two Crane Bodies.

Double Crane Body Power!

What a distant and exciting name...

Elder Crane raised his hand, and all the noise immediately ceased, but everyone's face was flushed with excitement.
