At the same time, the long stick swiftly traced circle after circle, covering most of the falling leaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Pop pop pop!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Continuous sounds of leaves being struck by the long stick and shattering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi exerted all his strength to disrupt the leaves, preventing them from landing intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the air, the continuous ’whoosh’ of the stick slicing through the air shattered all the encountered leaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, his eyes were locked firmly skyward, missing no fallen leaf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His feet moved with agility surpassing a tiger or leopard, maneuvering flexibly around the tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi felt his concentration reach its peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, all the falling leaves seemed to slow down significantly, as if someone pressed the slow-motion button.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could even hear the subtle sound of leaves brushing against the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spear in his hand swept, stabbed, and swung repeatedly, with high frequency like a tireless machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His powerful physique unleashed energy far beyond ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many seemingly unreachable leaves were forcibly intercepted by his high-difficulty maneuvers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When not a single leaf had fallen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi stopped in place, suddenly feeling a wave of dizziness, and noticeable pain in various muscles of his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Did I succeed?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, this was the only thought in Lou Yi’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instructor Lin had silently approached behind Lou Yi and tapped him gently on the back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A warmth radiated from the point of the tap, spreading to his limbs and body, alleviating much of his fatigue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad, your talent is better than I imagined. Pity you’re too old, came to martial arts too late!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instructor Lin lamented again Lou Yi’s age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he got closer, Lou Yi realized Instructor Lin’s breathing was very long and stable, seemingly different from the ordinary inhale and exhale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Is this the breathing method of a martial artist?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi said nothing, waiting quietly for Instructor Lin to fulfill his promise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Breathing technique cannot be taught to you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I’ve roamed the martial world for decades, countless strong foes fell by my hand, and they left martial arts techniques that are not bound by any rules.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have three superior martial arts techniques, their value is no less than an ordinary breathing technique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One is the Shocking God Spear, from the top spear art school Yang Family of the martial world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around twenty years ago, it was eradicated by demon sects, but I accidentally obtained its manual. Mastering it allows one to take the head of an enemy amidst thousands, unstoppable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One is the Splashing Water Saber Technique, belonging to a notorious figure ranked top ten in the imperial demonic suppression list of the Great Wei dynasty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once, when I coincidentally encountered him committing evil, I couldn’t help but slay him. This saber technique is incredibly powerful, mastering it prevents water from drenching and arrows from piercing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The last one is a fragmented passage of a general martial arts technique. It has special skills, utilizing it can exert power far beyond regular levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regrettably, it’s exceedingly difficult, it took me over ten years of research to grasp slightly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Among these three martial arts techniques, which one do you wish to learn?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having finished, Instructor Lin looked at Lou Yi with a bright gaze that felt somewhat piercing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Instructor Lin, what is a general martial arts technique?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not limited to fists or legs, not even restricted to weapons, you could consider it a secret technique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Lou Yi hesitated no more, bowing: \"Please teach me the secret technique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You even want a fragmented passage?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right after hearing Instructor Lin’s description of this martial arts technique, words like ’fragmented’, ’general’, ’special’, ’too difficult’ and such, Lou Yi was already itching to try.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having read so many novels and watched so many movies in his past life, if he didn’t know how to choose, it would be a waste of his arrival in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good.\" Seeing Lou Yi was determined, Instructor Lin didn’t dilly-dally and began explaining the secret technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This secret technique I inadvertently acquired over a decade ago, named the Dragon-piercing Technique, unfortunately, I only have the method for the first level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But even this first level is far more difficult than most martial arts techniques, it took me five years to barely grasp after obtaining it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many true inheritances in this world are passed down orally, Lou Yi focused all his attention on listening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Instructor Lin’s explanation was simple and clear, allowing Lou Yi to quickly grasp the concept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a technique to stimulate hidden acupoints in the body to unleash potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a person can exert a thousand pounds of force at their limit, they will be constrained when facing a stronger opponent, in a suppressed state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unleashing potential, generating an additional eight hundred pounds of force in an instant,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the dual forces combined can achieve victory in a single strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The potential of the human body is limitless, often humans can unleash incredible energy in desperate situations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his past life, Lou Yi heard of a mother lifting a car with her bare hands to free her child underneath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key of the Dragon-piercing Technique lies in stimulating acupoints to unleash enormous hidden potential in the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instructor Lin spoke slowly: \"The human body possesses numerous acupoints with limitless potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, one acupoint is called the Candle Dragon, hidden in the chest, striking it can arouse deep-seated blood qi in your body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come, first inhale, then hold your breath, and throw a punch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Lou Yi took a deep breath and punched forward forcefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Whoosh!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same moment, Instructor Lin swiftly struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His finger pointed precisely at a spot an inch left of Lou Yi’s right nipple and three inches above the navel, causing a sharp pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few breaths later, Lou Yi blinked his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What, no reaction?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi nodded with some confusion, he didn’t feel any qi-blood stirring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No reaction means it’s right, everyone’s acupoints vary slightly, how could it be found in one try?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instructor Lin continued testing, his fingers pointing back and forth around that area on Lou Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the tenth or so attempt, Lou Yi felt a numbness at the point, followed by warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a surge of heat erupted from that acupoint, Lou Yi felt his face flush, qi-blood surging!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, your Candle Dragon Acupoint is here!\" Instructor Lin exclaimed joyfully, \"Now throw a punch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi punched forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the punch reached halfway, Instructor Lin rapidly pointed at the previous acupoint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi only felt a numbness at the acupoint, and energy from all around his body surged and flowed rapidly like a torrent to his right arm with his action!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The muscle on his arm visibly rolled forward, resembling turbulent waves pushing the water flow ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi realized that in the midst of throwing out a punch and exhausting his old strength, new energy suddenly welled up in his right arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speed of his punch sharply increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Whoosh!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The combined force of both energies created a gust, causing nearby leaves to sway incessantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",1381,"2026-05-30T02:45:59.610Z","2026-06-01T04:30:04.667Z",1,"novelbin.me","56e755f3d2f3bed59f43ac3865f355f4c7992793a1fe83f6cf37259ce9c68ad0","becoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-chapter-35","becoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-chapter-33",784,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbecoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-cover.jpg"]
