Chapter 125: Overbearing Heaven Fist

Han Feng and Leng Yue also smiled. They weren't familiar with the inner‑door disciples, so having one more "person of our own" naturally gave a bit more sense of security.

"Don't mention this mission to anyone. Han Feng and Leng Yue could have broken through into the inner door long ago. The reason they haven't broken through is that they've been waiting for this mission. So after you defeat Yuan Meng, you will actually be the outer‑door's top."

Steward Yue said this and gave Ye Liuyun a Token.

"With this Token, the outer‑door's first place can go to the inner‑door Library to exchange for a Heaven Tier technique. Go prepare; meet at the Comprehensive Affairs Hall two days from tomorrow morning."

"Yes!" Ye Liuyun took the Token, feeling a bit excited.

He can receive the Heaven Tier technique right away.

Ye Liuyun, fearing delay, immediately bid farewell to the others and rushed straight to the inner‑door Library.

Holding the Token, no one stopped him along the way.

Upon entering the inner door, Ye Liuyun felt the spiritual aura was several times richer than the outer door. Training here, even a complete novice would see his realm quickly rise.

The inner door was filled with powerful Qi everywhere. He didn't dare wander and went straight to the Library.

"Stop! Inner‑door Library, outer‑door disciples are prohibited from entering."

In front of the Library, a Sea Transformation‑level guard blocked Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun quickly produced the Token.

The guard was startled, then smiled, "So it's the outer‑door's first!" and let him pass.

Ye Liuyun arrived, walked into the Library.

Inside the Library were not books but glowing spheres. The Elder, seeing his confusion, explained.

"There is a list of techniques here; after you choose, I will give you the corresponding sphere. The sphere contains the technique's information, which you can directly ingest into your Sea of Consciousness."

Seems the academy is prepared for people with photographic memory!

Ye Liuyun felt a bit disappointed. He had intended to use the chance to examine several techniques, but now that hope was gone.

Helpless, Ye Liuyun could only pick from the list, which also included introductions for each technique.

Ye Liuyun wanted to choose a fist method, especially one related to thunder and lightning.

But thunder‑related fist methods are few, and even those that exist are not very powerful.

Finally he thought, since there is no ready‑made fist method, he could fuse one himself.

So he asked the Elder, "Which fist method is the most powerful?"

The Elder smiled knowingly; many young people ask this here.

"The Holy Martial Academy, whether Main Institute or branch, the most powerful fist is the Overbearing Heaven Fist! However, this technique is divided into upper and lower parts; the lower part resides in the Main Institute.

Moreover, this fist has issues; many who have practiced it have ruined themselves. So far, neither branch nor Main Institute has anyone who has mastered even the upper part. Do you still want it?"

Ye Liuyun thought it over. Choosing this technique still requires fusion; he doesn't have to follow it verbatim. He might as well try, since he hasn't found any technique that interests him.

"I'll take it!" Ye Liuyun slid the list down and made his decision.

The Elder thought he misheard and asked him to confirm again.

"Huh? That's only half a technique and it's problematic. Are you sure you want it?"

"Confirmed!" Ye Liuyun replied calmly.

The Elder glanced at him, shook his head helplessly, then gestured, snatching a sphere.

"Enter this sphere with your Divine Sense, and you'll obtain the technique. But this uses up your chance to choose a technique this time. Think it through yourself."

The elder reminded him again.

"Thank you, senior!" Ye Liuyun said, inserting his Divine Sense into the sphere and memorizing the technique.

He then took his leave and returned to study the Overbearing Heaven Fist.

"Hope you don't ruin yourself!" the Elder muttered after Ye Liuyun left.

"Perhaps this kid really has potential!" a voice called from behind the Elder.

The Elder startled; there should be no one else in the Library!

He turned quickly; behind him a middle‑aged man appeared, dressed in white, gentle and refined. It was the branch institute's Director Nan Feng.

"Salutations, Director!" Elder Zhang bowed.

"This kid, in such a short time, has mastered the Mystic Elder's Illusion Truth Technique and also learned the fiery medical alchemy; perhaps he has a talent in that area."

Nan Feng said thoughtfully.

The Library Elder was somewhat surprised; he didn't expect the Director to take interest in a disciple.

The Director smiled. "Both the Mystic and the Fiery have strongly recommended him; how could I not come to see? However, you are slightly mistaken; someone has already mastered the upper half of this fist."

The Library Elder pondered briefly and asked, "You refer to the Main Institute's Vice Director, the cultivation prodigy Qi Potian? It's said he vanished after mastering it!"

Director Nan Feng gave no clear answer. "But after all, someone did master it, didn't they?"

Ye Liuyun was hurrying back, already multitasking, beginning to study the technique.

As for what happened after he left the Library, he paid no attention and didn't know the Director valued him so much.

Now his sole focus is cultivation and advancement.

However, he already discovered on the way that the technique indeed has issues.

The technique's requirements are overly harsh. First, it demands merging the Physical Body with True Essence; second, it requires a foundation in body refinement. From this view, Yuan Meng is a suitable practitioner.

But the technique also demands True Essence of high quality and at least three times the normal amount, to sustain the fist's power. That suits him perfectly.

Back at his quarters, his two Divine Senses both focused on the technique: one deducing and refining it, the other, following Yuan Meng's method, establishing a conduit between Physical Body and True Essence.

This is equivalent to constructing a Meridian system inside his body.

Fortunately he has experience rebuilding Meridians, and his Immortal Overlord Body is now at the sixth layer, granting rapid recovery, so the construction proceeds quickly.

Moreover, even without this technique, he wishes to unite Physical Body and True Essence.

After the first linking Meridian was established, Ye Liuyun unexpectedly found that the bloodline's power could also flow through these channels, participating in the fusion.

This unexpected discovery not only strengthens the Meridians' capacity but also amplifies the power of True Essence and Physical Body.

He now doesn't even dare imagine, once these Meridians are all established, how much power that one punch would have. Just thinking about it makes him feel terrified.

The person who could create such a fist method must be a super genius, at least he himself must possess these abilities. Otherwise he's a complete lunatic!

Ye Liuyun had never before seen such a complicated, demanding cultivation method.

As for the fist method's technique, it is extremely simple—just one punch. Yet there are six levels; each time one cultivates to a level, the technique's name changes.

The first level is called Annihilation: a punch that erases everything. The second level is called Void‑Breaking: the force of a punch can shatter the void. The third level is called Heaven‑Opening: a punch that can tear the Heavenly Earth apart.

Because Ye Liuyun needs to fuse Thunder Fire power, he decided to prepend the words "Thunder Fire" to each technique. It sounds more imposing that way.

In the following period, after he finished studying the fist method, both parts of his Divine Sense began busy establishing Meridian links, twice as fast as before.

He finally experienced the benefit of multitasking: he can build two Meridians simultaneously.
