Chapter 69 The Incoming Plot
But unlike the Horse stance which improves bone density and vitality, the Snake stance rejuvenates tendons and makes the body flexible and agile like a snake. It increases the precision of the body, making the attacks accurate.
" Although these are exercises to strengthen the body, It\'s not less than powerful martial arts if employed in battle. This is a technique of Serpent King\'s stage, Venomous Serpent Strike!"
Jun Tianyun\'s hands zapped like lightning as they struck the nearby tree. He only used the tip of his fingers to strike the tree trunk.
*PENG!*
Three small dents appeared on the tree trunk, pleasing Jun Tianyun. With his strengthened bone and agility, Just this attack could definitely cripple a low-stage Martial apprentice.
" The essence of this attack is to strike at the weak spot of opponents. With a right strike, One defeat someone with greater strength in one go."
Jun Tianyun opened his status window and saw that his power already reached 500 points. It meant he already surpassed the strength of a Middle stage Martial apprentice.
" Moreover, after reaching the first stage of the Horse stance and Snake stance, practicing the other stances will be easier."
" After Snake Stance I should practice Monkey stance because it complements with Snake Stance.
Each beast\'s stance enhances a different attribute of the human body.
Horse Stance refine and strengthen the bones, Snake stances refine tendons and increases flexibility, and Monkey stance enhances control over the body.
With the Monkey stance, one could make their body light enough to swing through the weakest twig, or make it heavy like a boulder.
Tiger Stance refines the blood, the Elephant stance refines flesh and muscles, Eagle Stance gives the body agility and the Turtle stance strengthens the organs.
[ Note: If you have read in detail, It was Crane stance instead of Turtle Stance. But I changed it so...]
Jun Tianyun was very excited when he thought about the peak of the Seven Star Divine Beast Exercise. He wondered what would happen if he gained all the strength of these divine beasts.
" But, That\'s the matter of the future. Since I have reached the first stage of the Snake stance, Let\'s halt the exercise for now. I have another thing to try here."
Jun Tianyun sat cross-legged on a stone as he saw the darkness of the sky slowly fading. The atmosphere was cool as the gentle wind of dawn carried a faint fragrance of nature. Jun Tianyun closed his eyes as the Basics of Elemental Magic appeared in his mind.
Magic is can be only used by the consumption of a force called Mana. What is mana? It\'s the energy of the world or the universe. Borrowing the mana from the world, one can use it to do various wonderful things.
There is a basic technique of mana absorption recorded in the book Although Jun Tianyun felt it was crude, It was the only thing he could practice. He did the same as the technique recorded.
" To sense mana, one needs to sense the elemental particles of the surroundings. Borrowing the mana, one can fully utilize these elemental particles.."
Jun Tianyun followed a breathing pattern for a while, but nothing happened. Jun Tianyun frowned as he pondered about it.
" In the world of magic, even the worst creatures were born with a minuscule amount of mana. That\'s why they could manipulate the mana and use magic techniques."
" However, I don\'t have a shred of mana. Hmm, I wonder if My Soul Energy can be used to catalyze mana?"
Jun Tianyun\'s eyes brightened as he entered God\'s space. He created a copy of Basic Mana Absorption Art and Soul Nurturing Art and placed them on the Altar of Heaven.
Soul Energy is a type of higher energy and can be used in many ways. Mana is the force of the world, containing the energy of all sorts of elements of the world.
[ Ding! 300 Fortune points pr attempt of Special Enchantment!]
Jun Tianyun looked at his 300 Destiny points as he prayed to the system. After that, he started clicking on "Yes"
After three unsuccessful attempts, the Altar of Heaven brightened as a new book appeared in front of Jun Tianyun.
" True Energy Refining Art!"
Jun Tianyun hurried and learned it. The Soul Nurturing Art and Basic Mana Absorption technique merged as a new series of information appeared in his mind.
" There are countless types of energy that exist across the universe. Some are so powerful that even a wisp of them can destroy a planet. However, the building block of all energy belongs to a singular primordial origin."
" With True Energy Refining Art as a base, One can utilize any kind of energy according to their will. It\'s like a dough of flour, you can make dishes according to your wish."
But, Jun Tianyun easily noticed a small problem. The technique was all about three things, Absorption, Condensation, and Projection. Other than that, there wasn\'t anything significant in this.
" But, It\'s good enough. With this, I can try casting magical spells."
Soon enough, Jun Tianyun felt the presence of elemental particles. He could feel a warm current spreading in his body like a tidal wave. Unlike Internal Energy which passes through Eight Great Meridians, the Mana is pathless. It spreads equally in the body.
Soon, the mana gathered in his body as Jun Tianyun chanted a spell.
" Fire Ball!"
Jun Tianyun raised his hands a flame combusted out of thin air. The flames slowly condensed into a ball of flame, the size of a basketball.
" Haha! I did it! I did it!"
Jun Tianyun laughed loudly as he threw the fireball. The fireball leaped as it landed on a small tree.
*BOOM!*
The flames erupted and charred the trunk of the tree. Although the tree survived, Jun Tianyun could feel that a human would get a serious injury from it. Hell, They might even die!
" It took me thirty seconds to cast the basic Fireball spell. Hmm, It\'s unlikely for me to use magical techniques in the frontal battle for now. Why the hell there isn\'t something like Quick Casting here?"
30 seconds was enough for someone to kill Jun Tianyun more than one time. What\'s more, Jun Tianyun couldn\'t be distracted when chanting the spell. So, He could be like a sitting duck in front of his enemy.
But Jun Tianyun was already happy to be able to use magic for now. He saw it cost him 50 points of Energy to cast a Fireball Spell. It meant he can easily cast the technique at least four times.
" There are many other basic spells of different elements. I will slowly learn them. For now, Let\'s focus on the Fire and Wind elements."
Jun Tianyun practiced casting the Fireball spell and Gust Spell till his Energy points were exhausted. After that, he started circulating the True Energy Absorption Art as he sucked the Mana from the surrounding.
" Interesting, The mana here, although not abundant, but it\'s in a good amount. But, It seems no one has been able to utilize it till now."
" Hehe, Won\'t that make me the one and only true mage in this world?"
Jun Tianyun thought smugly. After that, he shook his head as he saw it was already morning.
He got up and prepared breakfast for himself and Zi Yanrou. After that, he quickly took a bath and hurried to the Purple Star Academy.
Jun Tianyun was surprised as he ran like a gust of wind. Just with his physical strength, he ran faster than a world-class athlete. He had never felt such a feeling before.
" The Seven Star Divine Beast Exercise is truly marvelous, Ah!"
With his speed, It only took fifteen minutes to reach the Purple Star Academy. When he arrived, the students just started to enter the academy as it was early. However, Jun Tianyun need to prepare something, so he had come early.
A luxurious black colored Benz arrived in front of the school gate and Mu Yunyun and Li Yuling came out from it.
" Yo, Look, Brother Jun, You are really a punctual person." Mu Yunyun giggled when she saw Jun Tianyun bathing in sweat. " Where is your Ferrari? Don\'t tell me you came running all the way?"
" This is called exercise." Jun Tianyun smiled as he looked around. " So, You didn\'t bring Xue Feng alone?"
" Hmph, Who would carry him? But, That loach will soon arrive here anyway."
Mu Yunyun gritted her teeth when she thought about it. No matter where she goes, Xue Feng appears there like a ghost.
As the three were talking, Another luxury car arrived and a young man came out of it. He flicked the gold chain on his neck as he started coming toward Mu Yunyun. Holding a bouquet of roses, he hurried toward Mu Yunyun.
" Welcome back to the school, Yunyun. I heard yesterday that you came back, So, I bought these flowers for you."
" Lei Xu, Are you still trying to woo me after you fell into the gutter last time?"
Mu Yunyun\'s eyes narrowed as she smiled enviously at Lei Xu. Lei Xu\'s face twitched as he remembered something unpleasant. Jun Tianyun could guess that this poor Lei Xu is just one of the unfortunate victims of Mu Yunyun\'s pranks.
" Well, That was just an accident." Lei Xu spoke. " How about we go for lunch today?"
" Well, I don\'t know if I have time. Oh wait, Are you still the leader of your gang?" Mu Yunyun\'s eyes brightened.
" Haha, Of course! No one could beat this Young master Lei and his notorious gang. Why? Is someone pestering you again?" Lei Xu asked.
" Yes, My dad appointed another bodyguard for him. He is so shameless that he even lives in my house. I want to get rid of him."
" Haha, Is that so?"
Jun Tianyun frowned as he could already see the outcome of this plan.
