Chapter 22

"Dragon Soaring in the Sky."

Nine Five: Dragon Soaring in the Sky.

It was just four characters, and this move was also very simple, just a palm strike.

One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand others...

Stepping over the corpses of millions, the time to reap victory has come.

Qin Shi Huang controlled the six states, ascended the golden staircase with a disdainful gaze at all life, and with a wave of his sleeves, sat on the dragon throne... On the vast, boundless grasslands, the great hero was revered as the Heavenly Khan, the human king who patrols on behalf of heaven... This modern great man stood on the city wall and solemnly declared: The Republic of Huaxia is established!

The momentum reached its peak, this was when a person was closest to being a 'god'.

Controlling the world!

So awe-inspiring that one dare not look up! Seeing it makes one's legs tremble.

Those who dare to defy, die!

Those who dare to offend the dignity, die!!

At this moment, Li Gang and his daughter had a sense of illusion, a feeling of instability, this pressure made them want to kneel and worship. Wang Tian was their disciple, their younger brother, but at that moment, they had no such feeling, only fear!

Even royal relatives cannot easily offend the dignity of a king.

A palm strike!

This was the anger of the Son of Heaven, the might of a king!

With a "boom," the sturdy iron door flew out, its body already bent and deformed.

This was... the legendary gale wind!?

Li Gang was thoroughly shocked. A palm strike causing a gale wind? That was something that only appeared in legends and historical novels. He never thought it would appear before his eyes, and even more so, from his own disciple.

If this were told to his peers or seniors in the martial arts world, no one would believe it. And in Li Shuang's mind, the words 'miraculous,' 'incredible,' and 'unbelievable' kept surfacing.

If measured by the data in Wang Tian's game system, that strike was the strongest attack a mortal body could produce: 9999 points.

Wang Tian fell to the ground. His current mental strength was just a thread.

His eyes were vacant, as if there was some problem he couldn't understand, that look was innocent, cute. As if what had just happened had nothing to do with him.

Time seemed to stop for a minute!

The master and senior sister watched him quietly, not daring to disturb.

Suddenly, Wang Tian moved again.

His left hand drew a circle, his right hand pushed out.

"Dragon in Distress!"

His body moved, the idea of the fist rolling in his mind.

"Distress"

What does it mean to be in distress?

Wang Tian, with his last thought, suddenly felt a powerful pressure that made it hard to breathe, a strong bloody smell that filled him with boundless fear. This intense negative emotion directly affected his body, and he fell to the ground.

"Junior Brother!"

"Xiao Tian!"

Both cried out in alarm.

They approached.

Wang Tian, who had already closed his eyes, suddenly opened them. His eyes were wide open, completely blank, lifeless. It was a stark contrast to his previous lively, bright eyes.

Suddenly, a look of pain appeared on his face, his body began to convulse! His hands opened, his fingers tightly curled, as if trying to grab something. It was right in front of him, yet he could never grasp it, like a drowning person in an endless flood, seeing a straw and trying to grab it, but the straw offered no resistance.

"Wang Tian!" Li Shuang called out, her anxiety evident.

What's going on?

The two were driven mad with worry!

"Poor junior brother..." Seeing Wang Tian's pained expression, Li Shuang felt as if she had been struck by a heavy hammer, filled with sorrow.

She walked over and reached out to help him up.

"Wait!" Li Gang quickly grabbed his daughter. At first, he was as worried as his daughter, but he remembered a legend recorded in the "Secret Records of Xingyi."

The "Secret Records of Xingyi" was a book passed down from generation to generation by the Xingyi lineage, recording the glorious deeds of the school. By the time it reached Li Gang, it was already a very old book, and only the head of the family could read it, so Li Shuang was unaware.

The "Secret Records of Xingyi" stated that the founder of Xingyi Quan had not fully grasped the Dragon Form Fist Intent. However, with his unparalleled wisdom, he had envisioned the situation that would arise from grasping the Dragon Form Fist Intent, which was a negative state. Those who grasped the Dragon Form Fist Intent would, at the final moment, fall into an extremely negative state. Some would become bloodthirsty, some would act like madmen, and some would even harm themselves.

The specific situation depended on each person's character!

At this moment, he must not be disturbed. If disturbed, the person would either become a fool or die immediately.

"Poor child... he actually chose to harm himself!" Li Gang, a tough man, had red eyes.

In fact, if Wang Tian had enough mental strength, he could have grasped the 'Dao,' and grasping the 'Dao' would prevent the negative state, transcending it with no effect.

While Wang Tian was in the negative state, in his mind, his thoughts were still turning, continuing to grasp the Fist Intent of 'Distress.'

What is a soaring dragon? What is distress?

Soaring, means being overly excited, distress, means destruction, disaster.

Qin Shi Huang burned books and buried scholars alive, obsessed with Daoist techniques, using boys and girls to refine elixirs. The great hero waged wars everywhere, slaughtering cities with iron and blood. The Eight Great Emperors, after achieving their goals, killed the generals who had fought for them, causing rivers of blood. The great man launched a great revolution, the Great Leap Forward, and countless people died unjustly.

Was this due to human nature, or was it destined?

Was it the way of man or the way of heaven?

If it was the way of man, why did no one escape this fate? If it was the way of heaven, what is the way of heaven?

The way of heaven...

The way of heaven...

Just as Wang Tian was about to touch a thread of 'Dao,' his mental strength was depleted, and his body stopped moving. If Wang Tian had enough mental strength, he could have grasped this 'Dao,' transcending 'Distress,' and not falling into the negative state. Unfortunately, Wang Tian's level was too low.

If he checked his skill information now, he would be surprised to find that his skill 'Xingyi Quan' had become: True Xingyi Quan (Azure Dragon Realm).

"Frost, take him to your room to rest. I think I've grasped something too, I need to go and meditate. Take good care of him," Li Gang said.

Without paying attention to his daughter, Li Gang went straight to his room.

Just now, while Wang Tian was grasping the Dragon Form Fist Intent, Li Gang watched closely. Although he couldn't fully grasp the intent, it gave him many insights. Seeing Wang Tian convulsing on the ground, he felt as if he had grasped something. He was sure that if he could understand the principle, he could definitely reach the Master level in Xingyi Quan.

Li Gang sat in the center of his room, his five hearts toward the sky, and began to meditate.

The reason his Xingyi Quan had not reached the Master level was that his 'Tiger Form' Fist Intent had not been fully grasped. He had one move left to understand.

The last move of the Tiger Form Fist Intent: Serve the Tiger!

According to legend, those eaten by tigers could not be reborn but continued to serve the tiger under its pressure, becoming a ghost that found people for the tiger to eat.

"So the essence of the Tiger Form Fist Intent is not just dominance, but also mental suppression and soul deprivation!"

He understood.

Hmm! The final Fist Intent of the Tiger Form actually had another function?

But this function... could it be the same 'Dao' as Xiao Tian's current condition?

He didn't dare to think further, because the ability of the Tiger Form Fist Intent was truly...

Li Gang had studied the Tiger Form Fist Intent for decades without fully grasping it, lacking only a moment of enlightenment. Now, Wang Tian had given him that moment.

Thank you, Wang Tian, Li Gang sincerely thanked his disciple.

Having fully grasped the Tiger Form Fist Intent, Li Gang did not immediately stand up but thought about how to apply this power to the Fist Intent. For Li Gang, who had studied Xingyi Quan for decades, this was not difficult.

He would fully integrate it before ending this rare opportunity.

Meanwhile, Li Shuang was frustrated outside.

Father threw Wang Tian to her, even telling her to take him to her room to take care of him. Aren't you afraid your daughter will be taken advantage of?

Fortunately, Li Shuang was not a rigid girl. She picked up Wang Tian and carried him to her room, placing him on her bed, taking off his shoes and socks, and giving him a high pillow.

Suddenly, she felt a strange sensation, making this 'tomboy' in the eyes of her colleagues blush.

This was a girl's bed, and no man had ever slept in it. And the way she was taking care of him was like a wife taking care of a drunk husband in legends.

Fortunately, Wang Tian was still unconscious. If he saw her blushing, how could she maintain her senior sister's dignity? She would be embarrassed to death.

Li Shuang went to the bathroom, fetched a basin of water, and wiped Wang Tian's face.

At this moment, Wang Tian's face still showed pain, as if something extremely painful was tormenting him. He seemed like a child in need of care, so innocent, so helpless, making Li Shuang feel a strange pity. A feeling of wanting to take care of him, protect him.

Even the strongest men have their vulnerable moments!

At this moment, Wang Tian was indeed in great pain. He was immersed in the 'Distress' of the soaring dragon, the slaughter, the bloodshed, making him feel incredibly terrified, as if standing alone in an endless sea of blood.

This pain was entirely psychological. If a person with a weak mind, they would definitely be driven mad by this feeling! If a person with a naturally cold heart, they would fall into evil.

She sat beside Wang Tian, placing his head on her lap, her hands cradling his head. Letting Wang Tian lean against her, the softness of her chest pressing against his head, Wang Tian's condition infinitely stimulated her maternal instincts. She wanted to embrace him, protect him.

"Poor junior brother."

At this moment,

The door was pushed open.

"How is Xiao Tian?" Li Gang asked.

"He's fine, just hasn't woken up yet." Li Shuang put Wang Tian down, blushing, worried that her father had seen her actions and might misunderstand.

"Hmm." Li Gang also saw his daughter's intimate actions with Wang Tian but said nothing.

"Dad, did you grasp it so quickly?" Li Shuang was surprised when she saw her father, as his aura was completely different from before.

Before, Li Gang gave the impression of being simple and strong, but now he had a subtle aura. Like a mountain standing there, people below could immediately feel his grandeur. Like a deep abyss, giving a sense of unfathomable depth, even a good swimmer would not dare to go in easily.

Before, if Li Gang dressed like this and went to a hotel, he would have been treated as a country bumpkin and chased out. Now, if he went, people would think he was a big boss in casual clothes.

"Yes, I have to thank Wang Tian." Li Gang said.

He also clearly felt the change in himself. Although he wouldn't claim to be the best in the world, there were very few who could match him now.

The father and daughter did not disturb Wang Tian and walked out.

"Frost, what do you think of Wang Tian?" The two sat on stools outside the house, chatting.

"He's good..." Li Shuang replied, suddenly understanding her father's meaning, her heart beating wildly.

"We are children of the martial world, let's not beat around the bush. If you like him, you can start dating." Li Gang said.

"Dad, what are you talking about? He's still a high school student." Li Shuang said, dissatisfied. Dating a high school student? Helping him with homework and fighting with students was one thing, but if her colleagues found out, they would laugh at her.
