Chapter 16: Heavenly Snake Chant!

Afterwards.

Everyone sat around the stone table, drinking tea and chatting.

The topic naturally could not be separated from the recent Jianghu affairs.

"Have you heard?"

Wu Wu Mianfeng lowered his voice and said mysteriously.

"Something big happened to the Beggar Sect!"

"Hero Northern Qiaofeng has actually defected from the Beggar Sect!"

"It is said that his background was exposed, and he was pointed out as a Khitan, causing chaos within the Beggar Sect."

Feng Feng Mofeng added: "Yes, this matter is making a lot of noise."

"However, the senior of the Northern Beggar Sect, Hong Hong Qigong, has spoken out publicly to support Northern Qiaofeng."

"Saying that heroes don't ask about their origins, and Northern Qiaofeng’s chivalrous deeds are witnessed by the world."

Lu Lu Chengfeng pondered: "Northern Qiaofeng is indeed a good man."

"It’s a pity; the Beggar Sect will probably suffer a great loss of vitality after this incident."

Qu Qu Lingfeng cast his gaze further: "Great Ming is also surging with wind and clouds recently."

"I heard that Palace Master Yaoyue of the Flower-Moving Palace has been in seclusion for many years and has successfully broken through recently."

"Her Clear Jade Skill has reached the realm of perfection, reaching the Great Grandmaster realm, shaking the Wu Lin!"

"Great Grandmaster..." Everyone gasped upon hearing this, their eyes showing yearning and awe.

That realm was already a legendary existence.

Even their Master, the Five Greats, was only at the peak of Grandmaster.

"And Northern Liang." Huang Rong also interjected; she also liked to hear some Jianghu anecdotes in her spare time.

"I heard that the Northern Liang King’s son, Xu Fengnian, is unwilling to inherit the throne step by step."

"He actually ran away from home, saying he wanted to imitate the sages of the past, travel ten thousand miles, and observe the people’s feelings."

"I don't know if it’s true or false."

"Hmph, a playboy, just putting on a show." Chen Chen Xuanfeng curled his lips in disdain.

Ning Chuan listened with great interest on the side.

Many of these names and deeds were things he had heard in novels and stories in his previous life.

Now, verifying them one by one in this comprehensive martial arts world made his understanding of this world more three-dimensional and rich.

Northern Qiaofeng, Hong Hong Qigong, Yaoyue, Xu Fengnian...

One vivid character after another, one magnificent legend after another, were being staged in this era.

This made him feel a sense of heroism and anticipation.

Just as everyone was talking enthusiastically.

Chen Chen Xuanfeng’s eyes rolled, and his gaze fell on Ning Chuan.

He pretended to be curious and said: "Brother Ning is miraculous, capable of killing deep-sea giant sharks, so he must be infinitely strong."

"We martial artists have always liked to spar and communicate."

"I wonder if Brother Ning can do me the honor of sparring with me?"

"It would also let us see Brother Ning’s power."

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the courtyard stagnated slightly.

A hint of imperceptible excitement flashed in Mei Mei Chaofeng’s eyes.

Wu Wu Mianfeng and Feng Feng Mofeng also showed curiosity.

They also really wanted to know how powerful this magical giant snake was.

Huang Rong’s little face stiffened, and she was about to scold him.

Qu Qu Lingfeng had already frowned and scolded first:

"Junior Brother Chen, be respectful!"

He said sternly: "Brother Ning is a beast and does not understand human martial arts moves."

"You are about to break through the third level of Innate, with deep internal energy; how can you bully Brother Ning like this?"

"Don't mess around!"

Huang Rong also pouted and said to Chen Chen Xuanfeng: "Exactly! Senior Brother Chen, you are really shameless!"

"Brother Chuan saved me; you don't thank him, and you still want to fight him?"

A coldness rose in Ning Chuan’s heart.

He naturally knew that Chen Chen Xuanfeng was not just curious.

This guy clearly wanted to test his true strength under the guise of sparring.

I’m afraid he had designs on him, or was worried that he would become an obstacle to some plan of theirs.

He ignored Chen Chen Xuanfeng’s provocation.

He just swept a cold look at Chen Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Mei Chaofeng with his cold snake pupils.

That look was cold and deep, carrying a hint of warning and disdain.

Chen Chen Xuanfeng felt a chill inexplicably when swept by Ning Chuan’s cold gaze.

It was as if he had been stared at by some prehistoric monster.

He smiled awkwardly and said no more.

But his wariness of Ning Chuan deepened.

The gathering finally ended in a relatively harmonious atmosphere.

Qu Qu Lingfeng and the four were still very polite to Ning Chuan.

Ning Chuan and Huang Rong played on the island for a while longer.

After Huang Rong returned to her room to rest.

Ning Chuan couldn't wait to return to his "residence"—a quiet cave by the sea.

He carefully flipped open the Lion’s Roar manual gifted by Qu Qu Lingfeng with his snake tail.

Besides text annotations, there were some simple diagrams depicting the state of the mouth and throat during vocalization, as well as the circulation route of internal energy combined with breathing.

Ning Chuan concentrated on watching, his heaven-defying comprehension fully activated.

【You are observing the Lion’s Roar manual...】

【You understand the principle of sound wave oscillation...】

【You comprehend the method of generating lethality through sound resonance at specific frequencies...】

【You learn how to use the diaphragm and dantian qi to explode powerful sound waves...】

【You analyze the structure and characteristics of snake vocal organs...】

All kinds of mysteries about sound-wave martial arts and vocalization techniques surged into his mind like a tide.

Countless flashes of inspiration rose, collided, and merged in his heart.

Time passed bit by bit.

Night had already fallen, and the sea was dotted with stars.

Ning Chuan was still immersed in the comprehension of Lion’s Roar.

Finally, at a certain moment, his mind suddenly opened up!

【Based on your deep understanding of the Lion’s Roar manual and the perfect fit with your own snake vocal organs...】

【You have created a sound-wave martial art unique to snakes—Heavenly Snake Chant!】

Heavenly Snake Chant!

This sound-wave martial art created by his own hands was more suitable for his current snake body than Lion’s Roar!

Its power would definitely far exceed the original Lion’s Roar!

Ning Chuan was overjoyed.

He couldn't wait to try the power of this Heavenly Snake Chant.

In order not to disturb the people on Taohuadao.

Ning Chuan quietly dived into the deep sea and swam all the way in the direction away from Taohuadao.

After swimming dozens of miles, he came to an uninhabited sea area.

Only then did he poke his huge snake head out of the sea.

Taking a deep breath, the Black Water Profound Snake internal energy in his dantian operated rapidly.

According to the method of Heavenly Snake Chant, a strange vibration was emitted from his throat!

"Hiss——!!!"

A strange chant, not a normal snake hiss, but a sharp, high-pitched, strange chant full of penetration and deterrence, suddenly erupted from his mouth!

The sound waves spread in all directions like ripples!

The surrounding sea surface was instantly shaken by this terrifying sound wave, surging violently!

Columns of water several meters high shot into the sky!

Some unlucky sea fish swimming nearby were shocked by this Heavenly Snake Chant, turned their white bellies up, and twitched their bodies, actually being shocked to death!

Such powerful force!

Ning Chuan was shocked.

This was only because his internal energy was not enough; if one day he stepped into the Innate or Grandmaster realm, how terrifying would the power be?

What surprised him even more was.

After successfully performing the Heavenly Snake Chant, he felt that his control over his throat and vocal cords had reached an unprecedented level of refinement.

He tried to mobilize the breath in his body and control the muscles in his throat according to the way humans speak.

A raw but extremely clear syllable was emitted from his mouth:
