The Nine Yang Divine Skill is the most supreme inner cultivation method of the Yang nature in the world, as well as the strongest healing inner strength technique!
Therefore, under the influence of the Nine Yang True Qi, Zhan Bo, who had originally been in a semi-comatose state, had his complexion returned to normal. Though still slightly pale and haggard, he was overall out of danger!
Zhan Bo slowly opened his eyes. He only remembered that Ye Xiao had arrived in the abandoned classroom, but why there was no one else around was a great mystery to him!
"Brother Xiao?" Zhan Bo saw Ye Xiao sitting cross-legged in front of him and couldn't help expressing his confusion, "What's this?"
Ye Xiao smiled and said to Zhan Bo, "How do you feel now?"
Zhan Bo said, "I feel weak, but for some reason my whole body is very comfortable, like having taken a sauna!"
Ye Xiao stood up, dusting off the dirt from his buttocks, then said with a smile, "Zhan Bo, do you think there are masters of martial arts in this world?"
Hearing this from Ye Xiao, Zhan Bo, not understanding what Ye Xiao meant, also stood up with a smile while rubbing his bruised face that had been beaten by Han Fei and others, and said, "You mean, like those movie stars? Of course, there are!"
"I mean the kind of martial arts masters who can tread the walls and roofs!" Ye Xiao said.
"Brother Xiao, are you talking about those martial artists from martial arts movies?" Zhan Bo asked tentatively.
Ye Xiao said, "Let's just say so."
"That definitely doesn't exist; it's all just the imagination of writers. Like Zhang Wuji in 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber,' unbeatable with the Nine Yang Divine Skill. Could there really be the Nine Yang Divine Skill in this world? That's just the rich imagination of writers," Zhan Bo said earnestly. "Brother Xiao, why are you asking me this?"
Nine Yang Divine Skill?
Ye Xiao immediately laughed, thinking to himself, who says there isn't a true Nine Yang Divine Skill in this world? The internal cultivation method he was practicing was precisely the Nine Yang Divine Skill, although, of course, there wasn't really a person named Zhang Wuji!
Ye Xiao said, "If I tell you now that you can become a martial arts master in the future, would you believe me?"
This time, Zhan Bo shook his head very decisively and said, "I don't believe it."
Ye Xiao asked with a smile, "Why not?"
"Because I'm not an idiot," Zhan Bo said. "Brother Xiao, just get to the point!"
Although Zhan Bo had mostly recovered from his internal injuries, the external ones couldn't be healed with inner strength, so his skin was still quite uncomfortable, feeling pain all over.
Ye Xiao didn't say a word but took a quick step to the window. The glass in the windows of this abandoned building had already been broken long ago, and only a few iron bars were left in the window frame.
However, at this moment, Ye Xiao reached out and grabbed the iron bars, yanking them out of the window frame with one pull and throwing them to the ground!
Barehandedly pulling out iron rods?
Zhan Bo was startled. He thought to himself that Ye Xiao was quite strong, but in the next moment, Zhan Bo was truly astonished!
After pulling out the iron rods with his bare hands, Ye Xiao suddenly leapt straight down from the window!
As Zhan Bo snapped out of his initial shock, he immediately tried to run over and grab Ye Xiao. However, as an ordinary person, how could he possibly catch Ye Xiao? So, by the time he got there, Ye Xiao had already disappeared!
Zhan Bo was utterly shocked!
"Brother Xiao! Brother Xiao!" Zhan Bo shouted loudly.
Who would have thought, Ye Xiao's voice came from below, saying, "Stop shouting, I'm down here!"
Zhan Bo immediately looked down from the building, and sure enough, Ye Xiao was standing steadily behind the abandoned building.
At this moment, Zhan Bo truly didn't know what to say - this was the third floor, after all, and Ye Xiao had just jumped down, completely unscathed. What was going on? Could it be that Ye Xiao could perform magic?
But at that moment, Ye Xiao pushed off with his foot, his body soaring up as if propelled by a rocket, 'whooshing' straight back up!
Yes, watching Ye Xiao at that moment was like watching someone fly!
Ye Xiao sprang straight up and came back to the window of the third floor; as he reached the window, he somersaulted in mid-air and entered directly into the broken classroom!
Zhan Bo looked at Ye Xiao as if he were seeing a monster!
After three seconds, Zhan Bo went directly to Ye Xiao and started circling around him, muttering to himself, "There are no wires here either, how did you get back up?"
Ye Xiao said, "Stop looking, I didn't use any items. I just now utilized some inner strength which made it very easy to jump back up!"
"Inner Strength?" Zhan Bo couldn't believe what he was hearing and said to Ye Xiao, "Is there really such a thing as Inner Strength?"
Ye Xiao immediately laughed and said, "Why wouldn't there be Inner Strength? If there wasn't, you probably wouldn't have survived today!"
Zhan Bo was puzzled and said, "I don't understand!"
Ye Xiao explained, "Just now, you were tortured by Han Fei and his crew to the point of sustaining severe damage to your internal organs. Both viscera and veins were harmed. I used a high-level Inner Strength technique to repair most of your internal injuries. However, due to the severity of the injuries, if you wish to live past thirty, you must learn Inner Strength and practice Martial Arts!"
At this moment, Zhan Bo felt a bit dizzy. What Ye Xiao was describing sounded just like something out of a TV drama!
"Still don't believe it?" Ye Xiao said, "It seems my demonstration was for naught!"
Zhan Bo snapped back to reality and said to Ye Xiao, "Brother Xiao, does that mean if I practice Martial Arts, I can jump as high as you just did?"
Ye Xiao nodded and said, "Of course you can, but it's not jumping; it's Qinggong. You can learn Qinggong only after you've laid the foundation with Inner Strength!"
Although Zhan Bo couldn't quite accept all of this so suddenly, he knew one thing—if he listened to Ye Xiao, he could become an exceptional expert, at least in his own view!
Ye Xiao looked at Zhan Bo and said, "I'll give you some time to think about it."
"No need to think, I'll learn!" Zhan Bo said.
Zhan Bo's reaction was something Ye Xiao had anticipated—every boy has a martial arts fantasy!
Ye Xiao said, "I have a set of high-level Internal Cultivation Methods here. However, if you choose to learn this mental method, you must practice it in secret and never let a second person know. Doing otherwise would bring you no benefits, and it could even put your life in danger!"
Zhan Bo startled, said, "Is it that serious?"
Ye Xiao replied, "You've seen martial arts TV series. Naturally, there are good and bad among both experts and apprentices. The Cultivation Technique I'm proposing you to practice is high level, and ordinary people wouldn't recognize it. But if discovered by other Martial Artists, it's likely they would kill to seize it."
Zhan Bo said, "Okay, I will keep it a secret!"
Ye Xiao added, "There's one more thing—the mental method can only be passed on to a sect member. You're not yet a sect member, so you must first join the sect. Only then are you entitled to practice it!"
Zhan Bo asked, "Sect? Which sect?"
Ye Xiao explained, "My sect is called the Qiu Mountain Sect. The elite Inner Strength mental method I want to teach you is the True Yang Skill, which can heal internal injuries. With a year of cultivating the True Yang Skill, you can heal completely. Normally, you would have to take me as your master to be considered a disciple of the Qiu Mountain Sect, and only then could you legitimately cultivate the True Yang Skill!"
Zhan Bo gave an uncertain look at Ye Xiao. He was a bit muddled by what Ye Xiao had described about the Qiu Mountain Sect!
"Brother Xiao, what you're talking about, this Qiu Mountain Sect, is this for real? Aren't these sects just something out of martial arts novels? Do they actually exist in this world?" Zhan Bo asked.
Ye Xiao affirmed, "Of course they exist. I am a disciple of the Qiu Mountain Sect. You now need to take me as your master, and then I can teach you the True Yang Skill. Whether you believe it or not is up to you. If you think I'm full of nonsense, you can go back to the classroom right now as if nothing happened today!"
Zhan Bo hesitated for a moment. For some reason, he felt that Ye Xiao was a trustworthy person, but what Ye Xiao said today also seemed a bit too fantastical. Yet, if it was all false, how could he explain the abilities Ye Xiao had just displayed, if not with the words 'martial arts master'? It seemed there were no other explanations!
At that moment, Zhan Bo remembered how he had been beaten up by Han Fei and his gang earlier that day, almost to the point of death. He knew Han Fei wouldn't show him any kindness in the future. Constant beatings every few days simply weren't acceptable. If he could really learn martial arts, then he wouldn't have to fear Han Fei anymore!
Zhan Bo said, "Brother Xiao, I'm willing to join the Qiu Mountain Sect. I wonder if there are any rules I should know about?"
Ye Xiao responded, "The Qiu Mountain Sect has many rules, and I don't even know all of them. Since you're my direct recruit, you're naturally my disciple as well. My disciples only need to follow two rules: one must never leave the Qiu Mountain Sect, and traitors face death. Of course, I may not care so much, but the old-timers in the sect can't tolerate the divulging of our martial arts. There's nothing I can do about it. The second rule is never to teach our sect's martial arts to non-members; error in this leads to death, which is also a strict rule set by those old-timers. Even I am not exempt from this, but once my Supreme Yang Inner Power is complete, I will abolish such a ridiculous rule!"
Ye Xiao was clearly annoyed with the Qiu Mountain Sect's rules, but though his power was now considerable, he still paled in comparison to those old-timers in the sect. Sometimes, it was necessary to be tactful in certain situations.
Zhan Bo tentatively asked, "Will I really die?"
"Really, you will," Ye Xiao said very seriously.
Zhan Bo said, "Alright, I understand."
"What's your decision then?" Ye Xiao inquired.
"Brother Xiao, I'm in!" Zhan Bo had clearly made up his mind and then added, "Brother Xiao, do I need to kneel and kowtow to become your disciple?"
Ye Xiao immediately laughed and said, "Where did you learn that?"
"From TV!"
"No need for that. Our mentor-disciple relationship is acknowledged in our hearts. On a daily basis, we are still brothers, unless one day you go with me to Qiu Mountain and meet those old fogeys. Otherwise, there's no need for such formality." Ye Xiao said, "Now I'll pass on to you the first and second forms of the True Yang Skill. Remember, you must practice when you're alone. If others see you, they might think you're a fool!"
Zhan Bo nodded earnestly, and Ye Xiao then taught him the first and second forms of the True Yang Skill.
Little did Zhan Bo know that due to this unexpected decision today, he would later become an extraordinary martial arts master himself, fighting alongside Ye Xiao in countless battles and achieving unparalleled feats. But of course, that's a story for another time!
