Long Feiyun refused to believe it, picking up five stones from the ground. He calculated the timing and flung each stone with full force toward Zhu Bufan. He still couldn't believe that Zhu Bufan could dodge his half-serious attacks with his eyes closed. Although Long Feiyun's power wasn't as high as Xiao Ruo's, the difference wasn't too great. If Xiao Ruo were facing him, Long Feiyun would definitely believe it, but standing opposite him was Zhu Bufan. No matter how much of a genius Zhu Bufan was, it was impossible for him to have improved so much. However, Long Feiyun didn't know that Zhu Bufan had acquired a very peculiar cultivation technique, and its method of utilizing Inner Qi was extremely unique, allowing Zhu Bufan to perform so well.

The five stones appeared to shoot toward Zhu Bufan at the same speed, but a discerning eye could see that Long Feiyun employed a very unusual control technique, with the last stone thrown actually flying in front, while the other four stones were auxiliary, completely blocking Zhu Bufan's escape route. If Zhu Bufan could really "see" these stones, he could find a way to dodge, but if not, he would be struck by one of the five stones.

How far is ten meters? For stones flying as fast as bullets, it's just a moment's matter.

Less than a breath's time had passed, and the five stones had already entered the three-meter range that Zhu Bufan could perceive. This time, what appeared in Zhu Bufan's mind wasn't the previously overwhelming scene. He had just grasped this method and couldn't control it skillfully. When Long Feiyun wasn't being earnest before, he could still catch those thrown objects, but now that Long Feiyun was serious, Zhu Bufan couldn't handle it. Within the three-meter sensing range, the air began to become a bit chaotic, making it hard for Zhu Bufan to grasp the trajectory of those stones. However, just as the stones were about to strike Zhu Bufan's body, a white light suddenly flashed in his mind; he moved to the side, dodging the stone that reached first. However, before he could capture the trajectory of the second stone, he was hit by it.

With a dull thud, a stone smashed violently onto Zhu Bufan's body. Thankfully, over the past few days, Zhu Bufan's physical condition had improved somewhat, otherwise, Long Feiyun's force would have severely injured him. But even though Zhu Bufan's physical condition had improved, he still couldn't withstand Long Feiyun's attack, which was simply a difference in power. As soon as the stone hit Zhu Bufan's body, he felt as if his body were struck by a huge hammer, his whole person was flung away.

The noise was so loud that even Xiao Ruo, who had been meditating by the lakeside, was startled awake. He turned around and saw the scene of Zhu Bufan being struck and rushed toward Zhu Bufan regardless of anything else. Upon seeing Zhu Bufan being hit, Long Feiyun was also panicked, cursed himself, and rushed in Zhu Bufan's direction. However, Zhu Bufan still slammed hard onto the ground, then bounced up about ten centimeters before falling back. Zhu Bufan let out a cry, felt a metallic taste in his throat, opened his mouth, but nothing came out. Zhu Bufan felt his ears ringing, and everything in front of him was shaking. It wasn't until Xiao Ruo and Long Feiyun reached his side that he felt a bit better.

Xiao Ruo examined Zhu Bufan and then lashed out at Long Feiyun: "Don't you know he's just starting to cultivate, yet you use your full strength?" Then he continued scolding angrily. Xiao Ruo was extremely fond of this disciple.

Long Feiyun scratched his head with great embarrassment. Although he was carefree, he knew that he had indeed gone too far just now. He opened his mouth, about to apologize to Zhu Bufan. Unexpectedly, Zhu Bufan spoke first: "Senior Brother, don't blame Brother Long. I was the one who asked him to use full force. Apparently, I haven't mastered it yet." The last sentence he directed at himself.

Zhu Bufan sat up, cross-legged, ready to ponder where exactly he went wrong. Long Feiyun's last attack gave him a very strange feeling, and coupled with the short distance, Zhu Bufan found it difficult to capture the trajectory of the five stones. However, he also knew that this situation arose because he hadn't mastered the method yet. The feeling of air turbulence within the sensing range left a deep impression on him.

"You fool." Xiao Ruo knocked Zhu Bufan hard on the head, "Do you know how powerful he is? Yet you dare let him use all his strength? Consider yourself lucky to have not been killed." Xiao Ruo began to reprimand Zhu Bufan.

Zhu Bufan rubbed the place where Xiao Ruo hit him, grinned at Xiao Ruo, and said: "I just wanted to test some things I've recently learned."

"What did you learn that required him to go all out to test?" Xiao Ruo, still upset, knocked Zhu Bufan's head hard again.

"Nothing much. Just sensing the opponent's attack through Qi." Zhu Bufan replied indifferently, "But I haven't fully mastered it yet." He added.

Upon hearing Zhu Bufan's words, Xiao Ruo was shocked. He had just come up with this method himself, yet Zhu Bufan had already initially mastered it. What kind of person was this boy? So Xiao Ruo looked at Zhu Bufan cautiously and asked, "You can feel it?"

Zhu Bufan nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said: "But I can only sense things within three meters, anything beyond that is not possible." He reported his most confident range.

Xiao Ruo turned to look at Long Feiyun; since Long Feiyun had been practicing with Zhu Bufan, Xiao Ruo wanted to confirm whether what Zhu Bufan said was true. Long Feiyun nodded affirmatively and said: "He was hit just now because he didn't manage to dodge."

Xiao Ruo was overjoyed, and a smile appeared on his face. He thought that his disciple was indeed a genius, able to apply the method he had just come up with, which showed that he indeed had extraordinary talent. Xiao Ruo had been troubled about how to guide Qi through the meridians outside the body, and now he could directly ask Zhu Bufan.

"Tell me, how did you do it?" Xiao Ruo sat down cross-legged next to Zhu Bufan. Of course, Long Feiyun knew how brilliant Zhu Bufan's technique was, so he also sat down cross-legged, quietly waiting for Zhu Bufan's answer.

But just as the three of them were settling down, they heard rustling sounds from the forest. Then a gust of ominous wind blew, and a dark shadow leapt out from the forest. As soon as the shadow appeared, it roared at the three of them and charged with all its strength. Xiao Ruo and Long Feiyun had excellent eyesight and saw immediately that it was the beast they had encountered in the forest the other day. Both of them broke into a cold sweat, hurriedly grabbed Zhu Bufan, and dashed toward the small hut.
