Today, there are three challenges, each more difficult than the last.
I learned these techniques specifically to test disciples, and let me tell you, it's very hard.
Young men should have ambition, but also spirit.
Don't let arrogance destroy your spirit; you need to be steady in doing things. Without a near-certain grasp, don't take action lightly, lest you damage your spirit.
The spirit is easily damaged and hard to mend.
With that said, are you really sure you want to try?"
Song Yan nodded.
The road ahead is long and full of uncertainties; he doesn't think he'll always have time to rest. Naturally, he must seize the opportunity provided by this favorable situation to accumulate more resources and cultivate more strength.
Tang Xiaoping said, "I'll demonstrate once, give you the time of an incense stick, and then you fight me.
We'll use the same moves.
I will suppress my power to match your realm. As long as you can draw with me, you pass."
Song Yan said, "Fourth Uncle, please."
With that, he took a deep breath, gathered his strength, and watched intently.
In an instant, the elder in front of him, as well as all the Profound Qi contained in the surrounding air, transformed into strands of threads.
Soon, the Profound Qi in the air dissipated, leaving only the elder.
All the tracks of Profound Qi around the elder were captured by his eyes.
Tang Xiaoping said, "Watch closely!"
With that, he suddenly raised his hand, his palm quivering, causing the Profound Qi to stack, the palm quivering continuously, and the Profound Qi stacking continuously.
The elder spun once like hugging stars and embracing the moon, but the stacked Profound Qi did not disperse. Instead, it seemed to enter reincarnation, starting a new round of stacking.
In the stacking, the power in the elder's hand was increasing at a terrifying speed, because he was only accumulating and not dissipating it, so it grew stronger and stronger.
Song Yan emptied his mind of all thoughts; everything and everyone around him seemed to disappear, leaving only the tracks of Profound Qi on the elder's body.
The Formless Talent swiftly extracted these Profound Qi tracks, automatically rehearsing them in Song Yan's mind.
A moment later, the elder stopped.
Song Yan closed his eyes.
The world was silent, the wind blowing over sweeping clouds, and tall grasses like blades.
As the time of an incense stick was about to pass, the panel in Song Yan's mind suddenly jumped, and new information appeared.
[Technique]
Profound Mountain Nine Stacks (Not yet entry-level) (Imitate mode)
"Imitate mode" indicates that Song Yan can directly use the technique, but it's merely imitated, and he cannot grasp its true essence.
The words "Not yet entry-level" clearly explain this point; he can only imitate it with his own strength and has not truly learned it.
Song Yan didn't hesitate; his attention fully focused on "Profound Mountain Nine Stacks," beginning direct life span calculation.
In fact, with his current Divine Soul strength, previously at Mo Sword Sect, the "Silver Stream Sword Technique" was mastered just by one glance, achieving perfection after a day of cultivation.
But "Profound Mountain Nine Stacks" took him a full 10 years to perfect.
He was not satisfied and spent another 55 years to advance further.
In the blink of an eye, the panel changed:
[Technique]
Profound Mountain Tenfold Transformation into Mulberry Field (Perfection) (First successful calculation)
"Is it done?"
Tang Xiaoping asked.
Song Yan opened his eyes and said, "Yes, Fourth Uncle."
The word settled, and the young man and elder stood separately.
Tang Xiaoping beckoned, indicating Song Yan should take the first move.
Song Yan shook his head.
He's being tested now, not killing. Testing requires straightforwardness; killing demands cunning.
Tang Xiaoping smiled, then stepped forward.
One step like the wind, body light and agile, hands swirling, hugging stars and embracing the moon, Profound Qi stacking.
Song Yan almost replicated his movements.
The two quickly approached each other.
Tang Xiaokong nodded with satisfaction, but just then, he seemed to see something, gasped, then bent over, leaned forward, squinting, carefully watching Song Yan's actions, as if distinguishing something.
Soon, Song Yan and Tang Xiaoping engaged each other.
It was merely a contact of hands, yet it brought about a collision akin to two mountains.
Their palms continuously rotated, movements not complex, and speed not fast, yet each rotation increased the mountain's weight.
The weight on their hands grew increasingly exaggerated, clearly just air displays, but each turn brought a swift escalation of pressure.
Techniques at the Refining Profound Level are mostly one-time use, where is this kind of snowballing one?
Tang Xiaokong watched closely, only to see his younger brother's face showing a serious expression, eyes deeply furrowed. Although there was no hindrance in his moves, his body was tight, showing a sense of passively confronting the challenge.
Obviously, he's the tester, but at this moment, he seemed more like the one being tested.
Because the youth's hand was always rolling over like a mountain, and he was quickly countering.
After nine hands, all the stacked power broke out completely.
Tang Xiaoping was directly shaken back, both hands behind him, floating with the wind, landing far away.
As he looked forward again, his pupils suddenly contracted.
Not just him, but Tang Xiaokong and Princess Xi had their eyes widened too.
Because... Song Yan hadn't moved.
The explosive power vanished into thin air before him.
As if thousands of mountains suddenly... transformed into flat land, no power left.
How is this imitation, how is this formless?
This is clearly "using their technique, plus three points, then applying it back"!
