I'm Just Making Up The Exercises, My Disciple, Have You Really Mastered Them?

Chapter 79: Xu Yan's Breakthrough, Meng Chong Martial Dao Entry

Li Xuan stood up with a solemn expression and said, "Disciple, Sword Heart is only the foundation of swordsmanship. You still have a long way to go. The path of swordsmanship is endless, so you must not be arrogant!"

Xu Yan's expression became serious, and he took a deep breath before respectfully saying, "Yes, Master. I will definitely remain focused and calm, steadily advancing on the path of swordsmanship!"

"Good!" Li Xuan nodded with a pleased expression. "Since you have achieved Sword Heart clarity and entered the realm of swordsmanship, today I will guide you and point out the direction of swordsmanship."

Xu Yan listened attentively, feeling excited in his heart.

"After achieving Sword Heart clarity, the second realm of swordsmanship is the Heart Sword realm.

"I have a sword in my heart, and everything in the world can be my sword.

"When encountering mountains, the mountains become my sword. When encountering rivers and lakes, they are also my sword... Every blade of grass and every tree is my sword.

"Mountains have their own sword techniques, and water has its own sword techniques... Everything in the world is my sword in my heart..."

The second realm of swordsmanship is the Heart Sword realm!

Xu Yan's heart surged with excitement. Everything in the world can be a sword?

Mountains can also be my sword.

Rivers can also be my sword!

It truly is profound. At this moment, he felt his own insignificance.

The Heart Sword realm!

It felt so distant from him.

What kind of swordsmanship realm is it?

In his mind, he couldn't help but imagine raising his hand, turning a mountain into a sword, and fiercely striking down to annihilate a powerful enemy.

"To break through the Heart Sword realm, you first need to comprehend Sword Intent," Li Xuan said as he looked at Xu Yan, whose face was flushed with excitement and whose eyes were filled with fanaticism, with a slight smile.

Sounds mysterious, doesn't it?

Indeed, the more mysterious it sounded, the more motivated Xu Yan became. He never doubted whether such mysterious things could be real or achievable.

He was only filled with enthusiasm and moved towards this goal like he was injected with chicken blood.

Truly a good disciple!

Li Xuan sighed. When he took Xu Yan as his disciple, it was the most correct decision he made in his two lifetimes.

"Yes, Master!" Xu Yan nodded respectfully.

Sword Intent!

Comprehend Sword Intent!

"Everything in the world can be comprehended with Sword Intent, but you must remember that being too attached to the realm of comprehension can lead to being trapped and unable to grasp the true meaning.

"You must not blindly comprehend Sword Intent and neglect your own cultivation.

Since your Sword Heart is clear, comprehending Sword Intent is only a matter of time. Perhaps one day, while practicing the Dragon Subduing Palm, you will suddenly comprehend it?

"Sword Intent is not something that can only be comprehended while practicing swordsmanship," Li Xuan taught earnestly.

He couldn't let his disciple neglect the cultivation of the Dragon Subduing Palm for the sake of practicing swordsmanship.

The Palm and Sword are unparalleled, which is Xu Yan's true path.

"If you comprehend the meaning of the Dragon Subduing Palm, you can also apply it to comprehend Sword Intent. Similarly, if you comprehend Sword Intent, you should be able to understand the meaning of the Dragon Subduing Palm.

"How much you can comprehend depends on you, my disciple."

Li Xuan pondered that Xu Yan should also try to comprehend the meaning of the Dragon Subduing Palm.

If he truly comprehended it, his strength would undoubtedly soar.

"Master, I understand!" Xu Yan said respectfully.

"Well, practice diligently," Li Xuan said as he sat back down.

After Xu Yan comprehended the Heart Sword realm, it wouldn't be too late to pass on the next realm of swordsmanship to him.

Otherwise, if too much was taught at once, it would affect his comprehension, wouldn't it?

It's better to be down-to-earth and take it step by step.

"Yes, Master!" Xu Yan nodded.

Li Xuan glanced at Meng Chong and said, "Your junior brother has encountered a bottleneck. You should spar with him to stimulate his qi and blood and help him break through the bottleneck!"

Xu Yan was taken aback and turned to look at Meng Chong, instantly understanding.

When he broke through the bottleneck of the Golden Bone and successfully tempered his Jade Bone, he relied on the Firemane Wolf.

However, Meng Chong cultivated the Martial Dao of the physical body and was stuck at the peak of the Golden Bone, unable to further temper his Diamond Glass Bone.

He needed external force to temper his physical body, stimulate his qi and blood, and break through this bottleneck.

"Yes, Master!" Xu Yan nodded.

Meng Chong cultivated the Martial Dao of the physical body. The best way to break free from constraints was naturally to temper his body with external force, not only to oppress himself but also to stimulate his potential and break through the bottleneck.

The method was actually quite simple.

Of course, it also depended on aptitude. If the aptitude was not good, no matter how much tempering and squeezing, it would only harm the foundation without breaking through the bottleneck.

Meng Chong's physical aptitude was obviously very high, so there would be no self-harm to the foundation. It would only stimulate his potential, break through the bottleneck, and temper his Diamond Glass Bone.

When Meng Chong broke through the Copper Bone bottleneck, it was because he was stimulated by the cold internal energy of Bloodless Yin, which stimulated his potential and made his qi and blood boil, breaking through the bottleneck in one fell swoop.

"Junior brother, come, let's spar." Xu Yan beckoned to Meng Chong.

"Okay!" Meng Chong nodded.

The two of them left the Cloud Mountain County and went outside the city to spar.

In name, it was a spar, but in reality, it was to temper Meng Chong's physical body, stimulate his potential, and break through the bottleneck.

Outside Cloud Mountain County, in the mountains and forests.

A loud rumbling sound echoed.

Xu Yan's qi and blood surged as he continuously slapped his palms, the scorching qi and blood constantly bombarding Meng Chong's body.

Meng Chong activated the Great Sun Golden Bell, his body like a golden bell. Under the bombardment of qi and blood, it emitted a buzzing sound, and his muscles trembled.

"Not enough, stronger." Meng Chong urged his muscles.

"Okay!" Xu Yan raised an eyebrow. His junior brother's physical body was indeed powerful, worthy of cultivating the Martial Dao of the physical body.

Boom!

The qi and blood increased again, enveloping Meng Chong.

After persisting for half an hour, Meng Chong finally couldn't hold on any longer, panting heavily, his whole body's skin turning red, his muscles trembling, and his bones emitting a faint sound.

Tempering the flesh, oppressing the potential, breaking through the bottleneck, couldn't be achieved in just one or two attempts.

"Junior brother, that's enough for today. We'll continue tomorrow!" Xu Yan stopped.

"Okay, thank you, Senior Brother!" Meng Chong said.

The two returned to the courtyard, and Li Xuan glanced at them and silently nodded.

Although Meng Chong hadn't broken through the bottleneck and reached the stage of tempering the Diamond Glass Bone, he had already made some progress, and the bottleneck had loosened slightly.

In the following days, Meng Chong continued to be bombarded by Xu Yan's qi and blood, but he was always just a little short of breaking through the bottleneck.

Li Xuan thought for a moment. If they continued to temper this way, they could indeed break through the bottleneck, but it would take a long time.

So, Meng Chong returned to be tempered again. The bottleneck had already loosened, but he was still a little short of completely breaking through. He needed a little stimulation.

Li Xuan took out a spirit crystal and recalled the method of absorbing essence blood from the Blood Devil Scripture. He made a slight adjustment and used True Qi to absorb the spiritual energy from the spirit crystal.

For Li Xuan now, this was not difficult at all.

His strength was there.

A wisp of spiritual energy was extracted from the spirit crystal, and Li Xuan pointed his hand, and the spiritual energy instantly entered Meng Chong's body.

Hiss!

In that instant, Meng Chong's qi and blood boiled as if stimulated and replenished. A loud sound resounded within his body.

Meng Chong was overjoyed.

He hurriedly circulated his qi and blood and began to cultivate the Great Sun Golden Bell.

Puff!

There seemed to be a muffled sound in his body, and the bottleneck was broken. The qi and blood were once again tempered into his bones.

At this moment, a faint glass-like brilliance appeared on his golden bones.

"Thank you, Master!" Meng Chong exclaimed excitedly, kowtowing.

"Practice well and enter the gate as soon as possible," Li Xuan nodded.

He put away the spirit crystals. These two spirit crystals were precious to him at the moment. If Xu Yan breaks through the Innate Realm and encounters some bottlenecks, perhaps he would need the spiritual energy in the spirit crystals to assist him in breaking through faster.

The faster his disciple improves his strength, the faster he can improve his own.

"Yes, Master!" Meng Chong nodded excitedly.

"Junior brother, we'll spar once you enter the gate," Xu Yan said expectantly.

"Okay!" Meng Chong nodded.

"Master, I want to go home for a while," Xu Yan thought for a moment. He should also strive for it. He had successfully reached the peak of the Lifeblood Realm in these few days.

It was also time to go home and guide his family's cultivation.

"Go ahead!" Li Xuan nodded.

Xu Yan was not far from reaching the peak of the Lifeblood Realm.

This all happened within these few days.

However, reaching the peak of the Lifeblood Realm did not mean that he could immediately break through to the Innate Realm.

It required a period of consolidation before the breakthrough could begin.

And the breakthrough also required time.

Meng Chong was tempering his Diamond Glass Bones and getting stronger every day. It was probably going to take less than a month to complete the tempering of the Diamond Glass Bones.

Shi Er watched with envy.

He had also started Bone Refining, and only after personally experiencing Bone Refining did he realize how difficult it was.

At the beginning of Bone Refining, the pain of being bitten by countless ants was truly unbearable. Those with weak willpower would scream in pain.

Once they screamed, their blood and qi would be interrupted, and the Bone Refining would stop.

In this way, completing Bone Refining became extremely difficult.

Shi Er had strong willpower, but he had almost been unable to endure it several times.

But in the end, he gritted his teeth and endured the most difficult stage.

At this moment, he felt the changes brought about by Bone Refining, and his strength had greatly improved.

"I don't expect Golden Bones anymore, let's aim for Copper Bones!" Shi Er set a goal for himself.

He knew his own abilities. The goal of Golden Bones was too big for him, he didn't have the talent for it.

Copper Bones still had hope.

...

"Your disciple Xu Yan has reached the peak of the Lifeblood Realm, and your True Qi has improved," Goldfinger's feedback came after Xu Yan broke through the peak of the Lifeblood Realm.

"It's one realm short, so the feedback is a bit less, but the True Qi has also doubled," Li Xuan sighed.

Although his True Qi had doubled, he was still at the entry stage of the Innate Realm, but his strength had further improved.

"My Sword Heart has reached perfection, and my foundation in Sword Dao has reached completion. Should I try to comprehend Sword Intent?" Li Xuan couldn't help but ponder.

After a long time, he couldn't find any clues to comprehend Sword Intent, so he had to put it aside.

"Forget it, let my disciple do this difficult task."

Xu Yan had reached the peak of the Lifeblood Realm, and the Innate Realm was not far away. Li Xuan looked forward to Meng Chong entering the Martial Dao and striving to break through the Lifeblood Realm before Xu Yan reached the Innate Realm.

As for the second disciple, if he practiced the newly compiled technique to enter the gate, how much feedback would he receive?

More importantly, in terms of physical Martial Dao, with the support of the Great Sun Golden Bell, his defense would be enhanced.

Standing still, even a master Martial Artist in the Inner Domain would not be able to break his defense.

After breaking through the Lifeblood Realm, Xu Yan returned to the small courtyard and began to stabilize his cultivation, preparing to break through to the Innate Realm.

He often went outside of Cloud Mountain County and sat on the mountain, attempting to comprehend Sword Intent and practice Dragon Subduing Palm, trying to grasp the essence of Dragon Subduing Palm.

However, there hasn't been much progress for the time being.

Ten days after Xu Yan's breakthrough to the complete Lifeblood Realm, Meng Chong, who was cultivating, was enveloped in a faint golden light.

His aura was undergoing a transformation.

Li Xuan silently watched as his second disciple was about to enter the Martial Dao.

Shi Er watched from a distance, his face filled with envy. Meng Chong was about to enter the Martial Dao, while he himself was still far from it.

"No wonder the master took him as a disciple. His talent is truly exceptional. I also have a great opportunity to come into contact with the Martial Dao, cultivate the Martial Dao, and serve the master."

Shi Er sighed in his heart.

At this moment, Meng Chong was shrouded in the golden light, gradually transforming into a golden figure, exuding an unparalleled aura, in the process of condensing.

Li Xuan nodded, "My second disciple has the appearance of a Vajra. It is truly fitting for him to inherit the Great Sun Golden Bell."

Crack!

Suddenly, the sound of bones cracking rang out.

The golden light on Meng Chong's body grew stronger, his muscles trembling, and the sound of thunder began to resonate within him.

His blood and qi transformed into the golden light, refining into a golden bell, merging with his physical body.

A fierce aura, like a storm, emerged from Meng Chong.

Boom!

Thunder resounded as the golden bell appeared.

Dong!

With the appearance of the golden bell, it seemed as if the sound of a bell ringing echoed.

The golden bell of blood and qi, the golden light, enveloped Meng Chong, and the sound of thunder grew louder.

Neighbors had already stuck their heads out to look at the sky, their faces filled with confusion. How could there be thunder on a sunny day?

Could it be that the county magistrate had done something immoral?

Was that why thunder was sounding on a clear day?

Li Xuan frowned, flipped his palm, and True Qi surged out, covering the courtyard, concealing Meng Chong's breakthrough momentum.

Roar!

Meng Chong let out a loud roar, bones and muscles thundering, his blood and qi condensed into a golden bell, and his whole body was covered in a golden light. His muscles became even more robust, and as his blood and qi circulated, he grew taller.

His burly figure became even more muscular.

He almost shattered the leather pants he was wearing.

"I, I have entered the Martial Dao. I have mastered the Great Sun Golden Bell!"

Meng Chong was extremely excited.

At this moment, he felt his own strength.

Even steel could not compare to the strength of his physical body.

With a single thought, the golden bell enveloped him, rendering any attack ineffective.

There were no flaws or weaknesses in his body. Apart from violently breaking through his defense, there was no other way to harm him.

He had a feeling of invincibility at the same level, sweeping away everything.

Shi Er was shocked by Meng Chong's powerful aura. This was just the beginning of his entry into the Martial Dao. It was already so terrifying?

He had a feeling that even if he reached the complete Lifeblood Realm, he would still be no match for Meng Chong who had just entered the Martial Dao.

The gap was too great.

"Come, use the treasure knife to cut me!"

Meng Chong excitedly beckoned to Shi Er.

Directly asking Shi Er to use the treasure knife that Xu Yan had given him.

"Alright!"

Shi Er didn't hesitate this time.

Gripping the treasure knife, he rushed forward and used all his strength to fiercely slash at Meng Chong.

Li Xuan, who had been eagerly anticipating the feedback from Meng Chong's long-awaited Goldfinger, finally revealed a brilliant smile. He didn't pay attention to Meng Chong testing his physical body with the knife.

End of chapter.
