Chapter 179

"I still want to play for a few days; I'm not doing it!" Jiang Fan waved his hand.

"I wasn't talking to you." Wan Hai frowned imperceptibly.

Jiang Fan was too lazy. People from his same batch had all gone to do tasks to earn contribution points, but he still played every day. He couldn't let him corrupt these three newcomers.

Jiang Ping was very tempted, but still said: "Thank you both Senior Brothers for your kindness, but I have a few friends I'm close with, and we agreed to do tasks together."

Xu Cheng's eyes lit up and he said: "No problem, your friends are our friends; you can let them join."

"I have to discuss it with them first!" Jiang Ping did not agree immediately.

Xu Cheng looked at Xu Yang and Sun Tao again.

Xu Yang cupped his fists and said: "Thank you both Senior Brothers for your kindness, but Junior Brother's strength is low, and doing tasks will only hold you back. When my cultivation base improves a bit, I will come to trouble you both Senior Brothers again.

Having traveled for several days in a row, Junior Brother wants to go back and rest. You guys chat."

After speaking, he cupped his fists to the few people and got up to leave.

Xu Cheng still wanted to say something, but seeing this, he could only swallow the words that reached his mouth.

Jiang Ping said: "Two Senior Brothers, don't mind him. This Xu Yang has a lonely personality and has always been unsociable..."

Xu Yang shook his head to himself. Would these old slickers who had been mixing in the outer sect for several years be kind enough to help a Junior Brother?

With Wan Hai and Xu Cheng singing in harmony, he knew they were up to no good.

He only hoped that his refusal was so obvious that Sun Tao could be a bit more vigilant and not trust people just because they had just met.

Returning to his room, he lit the oil lamp, swallowed another Qi-Benefiting Pill, and picked up the sect rule booklet to read.

The next day, the first thing Xu Yang did when he opened his eyes was to look at the panel.

【Join the Profound Heaven Sect, points +40】

【Refuse Xu Cheng and Wan Hai, points +5】

【Martial Path Longevity Points: 91】

Xu Cheng and Wan Hai indeed had ulterior motives; otherwise, the panel would not have given him point rewards.

Adding all the rewarded points to the Diamond Body Technique and adding one point to his lifespan, he began to sit cross-legged and cultivate.

As the Diamond True Qi began to circulate, a stinging pain quickly spread throughout his body, as if he were being burned by a raging fire.

Under the tempering of the Diamond True Qi, his physical strength began to slowly improve, and his muscles and bones roared, becoming refined and tough.

When the sky brightened, Xu Yang stopped his cultivation.

【Diamond Body Technique · Entry-level (756/1000)】

The Diamond Body Technique was too difficult to cultivate. It had been nearly a year and a half since he obtained it, and it had not yet reached Minor Success. However, recently he had started using the panel to improve it, and it would reach the Minor Success realm in at most one or two months. At that time, not only would his physical body gain a trace of the Diamond Indestructible characteristic, but his True Qi could also transform into true Diamond True Qi.

"If I can use Diamond True Qi to refine Qi into Gang, will the power of my Gang Qi be far superior to the Gang Qi of ordinary people?"

After resting for a while and practicing the Turtle-Snake Stance for half an hour, Xu Yang took his identity token and walked toward the Outer Sect Scripture Hall.

"Xu Yang, does the disappearance of my Senior Brother Jiang have anything to do with you?" Kong Yu's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Xu Yang turned his head, looking surprised: "Jiang Yi?"

Kong Yu nodded.

Xu Yang smiled: "He disappeared? That's really great; it would be best if he just died directly."

After speaking, he strode away.

An angry look appeared on Kong Yu's face, and he frowned slightly: "Could it really have nothing to do with him?"

He was also trying to bluff Xu Yang, but looking at Xu Yang's reaction, it was obvious he was unaware.

Ji Jincheng said: "It shouldn't be him. With his cultivation base, he couldn't have killed Senior Brother Jiang Yi without a sound."

Kong Yu nodded: "Even if it's not, Senior Brother Zhu Yang died at his hands after all. This grudge must be avenged. Let's deal with him after we gain a firm foothold."

Xu Yang soon arrived at the Outer Sect Scripture Hall and handed over his identity token.

The deacon guarding the gate took it, and when handing it back, said: "You can only choose from the first floor. After choosing, come here to register and receive it."

When Xu Yang reached out, he slipped the silver hidden in his palm into the other person's hand and said: "This disciple wants to learn a powerful palm technique or fist technique. I dare to ask Deacon for some pointers?"

The deacon weighed the silver secretly and found it weighed two taels. His serious expression immediately turned into a smile: "On the first floor, the fist technique is best represented by the Raging Waves Fist. The Raging Waves Fist is divided into nine levels, with each level stacking force once. If you can cultivate to the ninth level, stacking force nine times, the power will be no less than the Hunyuan Force, and even at the early stage of Qi Gathering Major Success, you can fight against someone at the Qi Gathering Perfection.

If you can stack the Hunyuan Force, the power is even more astonishing.

However, this technique has extremely high requirements for physique and comprehension. If your physique is not tempered enough, choose carefully.

The strongest palm technique is the Shattering Jade Palm. In terms of power, it is even above the Raging Waves Fist, but this technique mainly uses True Qi to temper the palms, and progress is very slow..."

The two taels of silver were not spent in vain. The deacon recommended a few more techniques with less strict requirements and also stated their advantages and disadvantages.

"This disciple thanks Deacon for the pointers!" Xu Yang cupped his fists and said.

"My surname is Liu. Call me Deacon Liu in the future. Go, remember you only have the time of one incense stick to choose!"

Everyone likes sensible young people. This person immediately told Xu Yang his surname.

Xu Yang kept it in mind and strode into the Scripture Hall.

"The time of one incense stick is enough!"

Raging Waves Fist, Shattering Jade Palm!

Only children make multiple-choice questions; he wanted them all. Although it was impossible for his memory to remember them after one reading, the panel could.

However, this counted as stealing knowledge, so he had to use it cautiously.

The Scripture Hall was not big, with only two rows of bookshelves, and all the secret manuals added up to about one or two hundred books.

It didn't sound like much, but this was only the outer sect, and it wasn't really few.

You have to know that in a place like Qingyuan County, most of those wealthy families only had one secret martial art.

There were already quite a few people here, mostly disciples from Qingyuan County, but everyone was seriously looking for the techniques they wanted, and no one greeted anyone else.

Xu Yang scanned with his eyes and soon discovered the Raging Waves Fist.

He stepped forward to take it and flipped through it, his face immediately turning a bit dark. The secret manual only had the first half, and the back was blank. His plan to steal knowledge immediately fell through.

After thinking for a while, he decided to choose the Raging Waves Fist.

The Shattering Jade Palm was powerful, but like the Diamond Body Technique, it was a slow process, and he shouldn't expect to be able to use it in a short time.

Although the Raging Waves Fist was slightly weaker in power, with his innate talent and comprehension, his progress would definitely be rapid.

After looking at other secret manuals here for a while and remembering some useful ones, Xu Yang returned to the registration area.

"Kid, the Raging Waves Fist is powerful, but if you don't have excellent comprehension, you can at most reach the third level, and the power won't be as good as ordinary fist techniques. I can give you a chance to re-select."

Seeing that the sensible young man from just now really chose the Raging Waves Fist, Deacon Liu kindly reminded him.

Xu Yang cupped his fists and said: "This disciple will choose the Raging Waves Fist. Please give me the complete technique, Deacon Liu."

"Fine, just don't regret it later." Deacon Liu smiled.

He had been in the Scripture Hall for many years and had seen too many people with high expectations but low ability. They always chose secret manuals based on power and never considered whether they could cultivate them.

It was only because of the two taels of silver that he gave a reminder.

"Return it in three days; do not leak it to others."

Deacon Liu registered Xu Yang. Xu Yang took the secret manual and went to sit in a peach forest to read the Raging Waves Fist manual.

The core of the Raging Waves Fist was stacking force, but the moves were also very exquisite. Once the fist technique started, it was like raging waves crashing, continuous and endless. If the enemy was not killed, the fist momentum would become more and more fierce.

【Raging Waves Fist · Uninitiated (0/20)】

Not long after, Xu Yang finished reading it for the first time, and the panel in front of him popped up.

He was not in a hurry to cultivate, but focused and read it again.

The feeling of the second reading was completely different from the first. He only felt that thoughts were gushing like a spring in his brain, and various fist technique essentials were easily penetrated and understood.

"The comprehension of Grade A-minus is indeed extraordinary."

Comprehending techniques had actually become a very pleasant thing.

Xu Yang held back his temper and still did not rush to cultivate, but carefully comprehended it for a third time.

This time, he could no longer suppress the impulse in his heart. After finishing, he threw down the secret manual and jumped to an open space to practice.

Once the fist momentum started, his blood and True Qi moved along with it, like waves rising on a calm lake.

"Pop!"

After only a while, a crisp sound came from his body. He easily cultivated to the first level and completed one force stacking.

Xu Yang acted as if he didn't notice and continued to practice.

The wind in the forest stirred, rolling up dead leaves.

"Pop, pop!"

Soon, crisp sounds rang out again, but this time it was two consecutive, rapid sounds. He had already cultivated the Raging Waves Fist to the second level and could stack force twice.

"I have long since comprehended the Hunyuan Force; the first three levels of the Raging Waves Fist are not difficult at all."
