Chapter 28

Feeling the Black Water Mysterious Snake Innate true qi surging like a river within his body, and his physical body, which had become even stronger and more solid due to the opening of two hundred snake apertures.

Ning Chuan's heart was filled with an unprecedented sense of power.

He felt that with his current strength, if he were to face those ordinary grandmaster experts in the Wu Lin, even if he couldn't say victory was certain, he would have at least an eighty or ninety percent chance of winning!

As for top-tier figures like the Eastern Heretic Huang Huang Yaoshi, who already stood at the peak of grandmasters and were only half a step away from entering the Great Grandmaster realm.

Although he was still no match, with his strong physical body and various mysterious and unpredictable means, he still had the ability to protect himself!

Unlike before, when he could barely even fight back in front of Huang Huang Yaoshi.

This leap in strength greatly increased his sense of security!

In this dangerous comprehensive martial arts world, only powerful strength was the foundation for survival.

However, he also knew that after a surge in internal energy, he needed a period of time to carefully polish and digest it, allowing his body and spirit to fully adapt to this power.

Otherwise, an unstable foundation could easily lead to hidden dangers.

During this time, he could avoid frequent hunting trips to the sea and devote all his energy to comprehending the secret martial arts of Taohuadao.

On Taohuadao, inside the stone chamber storing the sect's secret arts.

Ning Chuan's massive snake body was coiled within, his pair of cold snake pupils focused on "reading" the martial essence recorded on the stone walls and some jade slips.

Huang Rong had long since lit the eternal lamps for him and had carefully transcribed the contents of some manuals that were inconvenient for a snake body to flip through onto large animal skins, making it easier for Ning Chuan to observe.

The martial arts of Taohuadao were vast, profound, and formed their own school.

Huang Huang Yaoshi was stunningly talented, and the martial arts he created all contained his profound understanding of heaven, earth, nature, and the Yin-Yang Five Elements.

Ning Chuan immersed himself in them, his heaven-defying comprehension fully activated.

In his mind, flashes of inspiration appeared constantly, like the brightest stars in the night sky.

[You are comprehending the Flicking Finger Divine Skill... You have understood its exquisite method of instantly exploding internal energy through the fingertips to turn small objects into lethal hidden weapons... You have insight into its extreme compression and precise control of power...]

[You associate it with the way your own snake species shoots out venomous fangs instantly when hunting... You think about how to combine the explosive technique of the Flicking Finger Divine Skill with the characteristics of your own fangs...]

[You have created a long-range attack secret technique unique to snakes—Heavenly Snake Fang!]

Heavenly Snake Fang!

This secret technique allows Ning Chuan to wrap and accelerate the venomous fangs hidden in his body with Black Water Mysterious Snake Innate true qi, shooting them out like bullets!

Its power is so strong, its speed so fast, and its concealment so high that it is enough to make ordinary grandmaster experts turn pale!

This undoubtedly added another powerful means of self-preservation and attacking enemies for Ning Chuan.

Ning Chuan continued to comprehend.

His gaze fell upon that world-renowned sonic technique—the Jade Sea Tide-Rising Tune.

[You are deeply comprehending the Jade Sea Tide-Rising Tune... You have grasped its profound method of simulating the power of tides through flute sounds to stir up heaven and earth energy, thereby affecting the enemy's mind and even directly causing internal injuries...]

[You have cross-verified the musical changes, internal energy circulation, and spiritual resonance methods within it with the Heavenly Snake Chant you created earlier, taking the best and discarding the rest...]

[Your Heavenly Snake Chant has been further perfected! It is more powerful, has more variations, and can not only attack enemies and shake their souls, but also stir up water-element energy to form area-of-effect attacks, and even assist in cultivation and calm the mind in specific environments!]

The perfected Heavenly Snake Chant was no longer just a simple sonic attack martial art, but more like a comprehensive method for the application of sound and energy.

[You are observing the Spirit Turtle Step, Qimen Five Turns, and other Taohuadao movement techniques... You have understood their essence of borrowing force to strike, using skill to overcome a thousand pounds, and confusing opponents based on the changes in Qimen Qimen Dunjia positions...]

[You have combined the movement characteristics of your own snake body and your insights into water flow fluctuations...]

[You have created a movement martial art unique to snakes—Heavenly Snake Dance!]

Heavenly Snake Dance!

When this movement technique is unleashed, Ning Chuan's massive snake body becomes even more flexible and tricky, like a spirit turtle swimming in rough waves, or a phantom shuttling through the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams.

Whether it is chasing, dodging, or shifting during combat, it becomes much more handy.

Days passed one by one.

Ning Chuan was like a sponge absorbing water, crazily absorbing the essence from the many martial arts classics of Taohuadao.

His martial arts knowledge was growing at a terrifying speed.

His strength was also further refined during this subtle comprehension.

Although his realm did not break through immediately, his control over his own power and the application of combat techniques had reached a new height.

However, Taohuadao's collection was not just martial arts manuals.

There were also a large number of classics on Qimen Qimen Dunjia, Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, medical theory, astronomy and geography, and the various schools of thought.

Although these knowledges could not directly increase Ning Chuan's combat power, they could greatly broaden his horizons, increase his wisdom, and lay a deeper foundation for his future growth.

These things required Ning Chuan to spend more time slowly digesting and absorbing.

While comprehending martial arts, Ning Chuan did not forget his promise to Huang Rong.

He took time to carefully study the basic internal energy heart method of Taohuadao, combining Huang Rong's physical characteristics with the cultivation essence he had grasped from the Nine Yin Manual and his own Black Water Mysterious Snake Art.

He carried out a major improvement and perfection of the basic heart method of Taohuadao.

[You are deeply comprehending the Taohuadao basic heart method... You have insight into its peaceful, upright, and progressive characteristics...]

[You have combined it with the characteristics that Huang Rong is ice-snow smart and has extraordinary aptitude, but her body is slightly delicate...]

[You have incorporated some gentle methods from the Nine Yin Manual for nourishing meridians and the Black Water Mysterious Snake Art for tempering the physical body...]

[You have tailored and further improved the Taohuadao heart method for Huang Rong!]

The improved heart method was not only smoother to practice and had less burden on the body, but the efficiency of absorbing and converting energy was also greatly improved.

After Huang Rong received the improved version of the heart method that Ning Chuan "wrote" for her, she tried practicing it for a few days with skepticism.

The result shocked her!

She found that practicing this improved heart method not only increased her internal energy several times faster than before, but after practicing, her body also felt lighter, more comfortable, and full of energy!

In just a few days, her internal energy cultivation had made obvious progress!

This made Huang Rong both surprised and happy, and her admiration for Ning Chuan became even more substantial!

Her motivation for practicing martial arts also became stronger because of this.

Regarding this.

Ning Chuan just smiled slightly.

For him, it was just a small effort.

If it weren't for Huang Rong, he would still be hunting in the sea to grow; how could he have such powerful strength now?

Returning a peach for a plum, it is nothing more than this.
