Chapter 233: Liver refined, waves rise in the Academy

The disciples of Lingxiao Academy came for Martial Way exchange, but left in a hurry after three days.

The disciples of Canglan Academy looked at the carriage team of Lingxiao Academy leaving, always feeling a bit strange.

Tiger head, snake tail!

In their view, this Martial Way exchange had a tiger head and a snake tail.

"Why does it feel like it wasn't as intense as imagined?"

"It is a bit strange. It always feels like Lingxiao Academy just came to go through the motions."

The disciples of Canglan Academy were full of confusion. Originally, when they learned that the disciples of Lingxiao Academy were coming to Canglan Academy for Martial Way exchange and sparring, they had prepared for it. They had been cultivating these days, striving to improve their strength a bit more before sparring.

But they never expected this exchange to last only two days, and the sparring was very peaceful, not as intense as they imagined.

To use a junior brother's words: After fighting for a long time, I didn't even see a drop of sweat; it wasn't as intense as my own martial arts practice.

The disciples of Lingxiao Academy didn't look like they came to compete for superiority, but more like they came to go through this process.

Jiang Mingda sent away the people from Lingxiao Academy, turned his head, and saw the confusion on the faces of some disciples, a flash of brilliance in his old eyes.

Lingxiao Academy's exchange this time was aimed at Lin Chen, and the battle ended two days ago. The subsequent sparring and fighting were completely going through the motions.

Martial Way exchange, seemingly a sparring duel between new and old students of the two academies, is actually a duel between new students. The old students had already exchanged and sparred, and the old students put more energy into the ranking competition, even reserving some strength during the exchange.

For Lin Chen, the arrival of Lingxiao Academy was just a small episode. The only thing that made him feel happy was that perhaps Meng Xing recognized him as a senior brother, and he tried to pick up the double hammers on the weapon rack, dancing them with great momentum.

The fist technique Meng Xing displayed was completely different from Xiao Shidi's fist technique, but it was somewhat similar to Fang Shidi's palm technique, but without the speed and ferocity of Fang Shidi's palm technique, more of it was power and momentum.

Breaking the situation with power, suppressing the enemy with momentum.

Putting down the double hammers, Lin Chen scanned the few secret manuals on the stone table aside. These were the double hammer techniques he found from the Academy's library.

Many Academy disciples will enter the ranked tier in the second or third year. For this reason, the Academy also prepared many weapon techniques for these disciples, just to let these disciples try which type of weapon they are more compatible with.

Normally, to obtain this kind of technique manual, one needs enough credits, but Lin Chen doesn't need it. The condition Canglan Academy offered him when he was in Linhu Village was to cover all the resources he needed for cultivation in the Academy.

Elixirs, medicinal liquids, and many technique manuals.

Besides hammer techniques, he also observed many saber and spear technique manuals in these two months. Many techniques that ordinary martial artists take months to master, he only needs a few hours to master.

Lin Chen knew very well in his heart that this was not because his own Martial Way comprehension was very high, but because the title 【Crown Among Peers】 played a role. When Xiao Shidi and Fang Shidi called him Senior Brother and it was recognized from the bottom of their hearts, his comprehension talent in spear and saber techniques would be raised above the two junior brothers.

Xiao Shidi and Fang Shidi's techniques were family-inherited absolute arts, and both had been in contact with weapons since childhood. Both had extremely high talent in their respective weapons, and he stood on their shoulders.

Spear, saber... and now Meng Shidi's double hammers!

Observing spear, saber, and hammer techniques, Lin Chen was not trying to cultivate these techniques, but to integrate his Wind and Cloud Palm by borrowing these weapon techniques.

Wind and Cloud Palm is a technique he created himself.

The subsequent moves require him to realize them step by step. Relying on the panel, there are only seven moves.

And the power of the first few moves is still lacking; only the power of Palm Six and Palm Seven is decent.

And in these two months, he has been trying to integrate, "Palm like a spear thrust, wind like a saber cut, momentum like a hammer sinking."

This kind of evolution makes him constantly change the formulas of the Wind and Cloud Palm, and it is also a variety of attempts at Qi and blood.

Besides the evolution and refinement of the Wind and Cloud Palm, for Lin Chen, there is also a huge improvement in actual combat.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.

This was the purpose of the teacher letting him look at many Martial Way techniques at the beginning, and Lin Chen also recognized this point of view.

Knowing more Martial Way techniques allows one to judge the opponent's move trajectory from the opponent's subtle movements during the battle, achieving the goal of striking after the opponent.

Moreover, he is mainly practicing archery.

Archery, besides fast speed, also requires prediction.

Prediction requires a massive amount of Martial Way techniques to support, analyzing and predicting the opponent's movements.

A spear master can judge the trajectory of the opponent's spear tip the moment the opponent thrusts the spear.

Therefore, for archery to reach the stage of perfection, it is extremely difficult to cultivate.

Most martial artists who practice archery only pursue speed, cultivating speed to the extreme.

Fifteen days later!

Outside the residence, Xiao Yaojin and Fang Zhan were standing under a tree not far away, while Jiang Qing was standing at the door with a look of worry on her face.

Five days ago, Xiao Yaojin and Fang Zhan also completed the refining of the liver.

And today was the day Lin Chen sprinted to refine the liver.

"Sister Jiang, don't worry. With Lin Shixiong's strength, there will definitely be no problem."

Fang Zhan looked at Jiang Qing, who was full of worry, and spoke a word of comfort.

Jiang Qing pursed her lips. If it were just an ordinary refining of the liver, she wouldn't worry, but Lin Chen was going to absorb and refine the remaining eight drops of Flood Dragon True Blood in one go this time, taking this opportunity to refine the liver.

She had seen Lin Chen absorb Flood Dragon True Blood; one drop was extremely painful, eight drops...

"Lin Shixiong is the most persevering person I have ever seen. No problem." Xiao Yaojin also added a sentence from the side.

Jiang Qing nodded. She also believed that Lin Shidi could succeed, but she felt sorry for the suffering Lin Chen endured on this road of Martial Way cultivation.

In the courtyard, Lin Chen stood in an iron barrel, the medicinal liquid was boiling hot, and Hua Qianwu's expression was also serious. Nearly three months of training was for this moment.

"Dean, the disciple is ready."

"Good."

Hua Qianwu nodded, his right hand flicked, and eight drops of Flood Dragon True Blood instantly shot into Lin Chen's mouth.

In just two breaths, Lin Chen's skin instantly turned as red as a branding iron, the veins on his face bulged, and the Qi and blood in his body circulated crazily at this moment, starting a new round of fighting with the Flood Dragon True Blood.

This kind of fighting, he had carried out many times in the past two months, but this was the first time fighting directly with the energy of eight drops of Flood Dragon True Blood.

The body is the battlefield!

The meridians in the body were constantly breaking and absorbing the medicinal liquid and then reorganizing. Every inch of skin, including the pores, could feel the movement of several forces. Ah!

The painful roar came out through the courtyard wall.

Jiang Qing clenched her clothes tightly with both hands, and Xiao Yaojin and Fang Zhan on the side also looked at each other. In the two months, this was the first time they heard Lin Shixiong roar in anger because he couldn't bear the pain.

"Eight drops of Flood Dragon True Blood, only Lin Shixiong dares to try. If it were you and me, I'm afraid we would have exploded and died long ago." Fang Zhan sighed in a low voice.

"Even if you don't explode, this pain is hard to bear."

Explode and die?

Xiao Yaojin felt it was impossible. If he absorbed Flood Dragon True Blood, the elders in his family would definitely have full preparation, at least there would be no threat to his life, but being unable to bear the dominance of the Flood Dragon True Blood would also be of no avail, and he could only waste the Flood Dragon True Blood in vain.

At the beginning, Canglan Academy offered Lin Shixiong the condition of thirty drops of Flood Dragon True Blood. Everyone thought it was prepared for Lin Shixiong after he reached the perfection of Organ Cultivation. How could they have thought that Lin Shixiong would start absorbing and refining it just after he started Organ Cultivation.

The roars and painful screams lasted for a full hundred breaths before slowly calming down.

In the courtyard, Lin Chen's face was ferocious. Even if he used the 【Medicine Jar Sick Body】 title, it only reduced the pain to the limit he could bear, not letting himself faint.

Once he fainted, it would be all for nothing, and the eight drops of Flood Dragon True Blood would be equivalent to being wasted.

He must endure!

Endure for three hours!

The meridians were shattered inch by inch under the impact of the Flood Dragon True Blood energy, and then reshaped by the boiling medicinal liquid. Every impact was a pain, and reshaping was another kind of pain.

Lin Chen clenched his fists tightly on the edge of the iron barrel, his knuckles turning pale from excessive force, and the barrel was actually pinched with cracks.

As the medicinal liquid churned violently, fine blood beads seeped out from Lin Chen's skin surface, and then evaporated into blood mist in the high temperature, lingering around his body, like a blood-bathed Asura.

Hua Qianwu had been standing in front of Lin Chen, staring at Lin Chen's body changes.

When he saw the color of the medicinal liquid begin to become transparent, a light shout like a head-on blow made Lin Chen's consciousness, which was a bit blurred due to pain, instantly clear.

"Lead the blood into the liver!"

Lin Chen no longer had the energy to speak and respond, circulating the "Nine-Turn Organ Cultivation Technique", and the Flood Dragon energy that was originally raging in the five internal organs and six bowels was now pushed toward the heart and liver along with his Qi and blood.

Nine-Turn True Blood, every breakthrough, is not only refining a new organ, but also reshaping the organs refined before.

Every time Qi and blood wrapped around the Flood Dragon True Blood energy to collide with the heart and liver, it was like a heavy hammer hitting the internal organs. Lin Chen let out a beast-like low roar from his throat, his teeth shattered and oozing blood, but he still kept his consciousness clear.

It was both a hammer blow and a carving.

Every hammer blow would leave a shallow mark on the heart and liver organs.

Once, twice...

After a thousand times!

With a "click" sound, the heart and liver organs, which were covered in wounds from the Flood Dragon energy and Qi and blood, began to fall off their surface, just like an egg shedding its shell, revealing the smooth egg white inside.

And this layer that fell off now merged into the Qi and blood, and began to surge to all parts of the body, and the original broken meridians were instantly restored as before.

Boom!

Boom boom!

Boom boom boom!

Lin Chen's heart beat like a drum hammer, vibrating powerfully, and the acupoints all over his body trembled with the beating of his heart.

The whole body reached a level of resonance at this moment.

Bang!

The next moment, the iron barrel shattered, and Lin Chen let out a long whistle and jumped up!

This long whistle was wanton, a roar, a vent!

Outside the door, hearing this long whistle, the worry in Jiang Qing's eyes disappeared, and Xiao Yaojin and Fang Zhan looked at each other, also seeing excitement in each other's eyes.

Lin Shixiong successfully refined the liver.

"It's just that I don't know what level Lin Shixiong's strength has reached now."

Fang Zhan whispered, which made Xiao Yaojin silent.

A few days ago, after they both refined the liver, they sparred with Lin Shixiong again, but relying on the surge in strength brought by refining two organs, they were still steadily suppressed by Lin Shixiong.

"I have a premonition that as long as Lin Shixiong can refine three organs, he will be invincible in the Organ Cultivation Stage in Daliang."

As soon as Xiao Yaojin said this, Fang Zhan was stunned: "Refining three organs makes one invincible in the Organ Cultivation Stage in Daliang, isn't that too exaggerated?"

"Can an ordinary Organ Cultivation perfection martial artist absorb thirty drops of Flood Dragon True Blood?"

Xiao Yaojin asked back, making Fang Zhan silent. He was from a Martial Way family, so he naturally knew that it was extremely difficult for a martial artist at the perfection of Organ Cultivation to refine and absorb thirty drops of Flood Dragon True Blood.

"If I'm not mistaken, Lin Shixiong is walking a different path in the Organ Cultivation Stage than us. Maybe... Flood Dragon True Blood is just the beginning."

Based on Lin Shixiong's current strength, Xiao Yaojin knew that Lin Shixiong definitely couldn't be invincible in the Organ Cultivation Stage just by refining three organs, but he saw some clues. Lin Shixiong wanted to absorb all thirty drops of Flood Dragon True Blood when he had only refined the heart, instead of leaving it for later...

Is it because Lin Shixiong simply likes to be abused, likes the pain of being ravaged by Flood Dragon energy?

Even if Lin Shixiong had confidence, the Dean would probably consider Lin Shixiong's safety and choose a safer way, completely allowing Lin Shixiong to

Being in such a rush to absorb it only points to one thing: the True Blood of the Flood Dragon is merely a beginning for Senior Brother Lin...

In the courtyard, Hua Qianwu looked at Lin Chen's high-spirited appearance, and a smile also appeared on his face.

But as of now, Lin Chen's performance has been even better than he had estimated.

Originally, he had planned that it would be decent if Lin Chen could refine thirty drops of Flood Dragon True Blood before the end of the year; he had never even considered letting Lin Chen absorb eight drops of Flood Dragon True Blood all at once.

It was because of Lin Chen's performance during these two months of training that he changed his mind; after consulting with Lord Kong, he decided to let Lin Chen absorb the Flood Dragon True Blood ahead of schedule.

The time Lin Chen took to absorb the Flood Dragon True Blood and refine his liver was half a month earlier than he had estimated.

Half a month might not count for much, but for Lin Chen, being a day earlier means a slightly higher chance of success for the Nine-Turn Organ Refinement, allowing more time to prepare for what follows.

Just as Hua Qianwu was pondering the next arrangements for Lin Chen mentioned in Lord Kong's letter, a flying eagle landed at the Canglan Wu Yuan.

A Vice Dean of the Canglan Wu Yuan took the paper from the eagle's feet, and upon reading the contents, his pupils contracted, and a look of anger appeared on his face.

"This is truly going too far!"

With a single palm strike, the stone table in front of him shattered, yet the Vice Dean did not hesitate; he immediately walked out of the courtyard, as he needed to inform the Dean of this matter at the first opportunity.

The Canglan Wu Yuan must also prepare in advance.
