"I lost this round again, Junior Brother," Song said helplessly although he wasn't depressed.
He seemed to have gotten used to losing to Wang Yu.
His personality was not the competitive type, so he did not mind.
Wang Yu also stopped at the right time. "Thank you for letting me win. Senior Brother is much better than me in terms of Shadowless Fist."
Song shook his head and squeezed his sore arm. "Junior Brother's Shadowless Fist is sometimes fast and sometimes fierce. Why is it so?
"Your leg technique is special too. It doesn't seem to come from the system of the Shadowless Fist. It seemed even more agile and flexible. Could this be a unique insight you developed yourself? If that's the case, you are really talented."
Song was overcome with emotions.
Wang Yu shook his head and said with a smile, "this is just some minor moves that I learned from other body tempering techniques. I think it's not bad to integrate it into the combat. It's just some unorthodox tricks that I cultivated alongside the Shadowless Fist. I didn't figure it out myself."
"I see." Song Hezheng was enlightened. Then he said, "Even so, Junior Brother's perception is really impressive."
"Even if others want to cultivate other body tempering techniques, they might not be able to achieve as much as Junior Brother and use them so freely in combats."
Wang Yu smiled and did not continue the conversation.
After all, this was not something he had comprehended himself. It was just that he had mastered these body tempering techniques naturally when his proficiency was at its maximum.
"In that case, did you also pick up the soft palm technique and that deflecting technique from other body tempering techniques?"
"Yes, those too."
The two of them reflected on this practice, and then Wang Yu invited Song Hezheng to start the second round.
Only when Song was exhausted did the sparring session end.
Now, in the entire dojo, only Sun Chengshan and the Eldest Senior Brother could satisfy Wang Yu's needs to train for cultivation .
Training with the other disciples was not even as effective as with the iron stakes.
After sending Song Hezheng off, Wang Yu looked at his personal interface.
Not long ago, he had just cultivated the Zu Clan's Wind Chasing Foot to the second level. The proficiency of his leg technique was the most difficult among all the body tempering techniques he had cultivated.
Next was the Indestructible Bell Technique, which was both offensive and defensive, and the Soft Yin Palm Technique.
He had only cultivated these three techniques to the second level.
And the one who improved the fastest was the Hong Family Fist.
There was a certain connection between fist techniques, his foundation of the Shadowless Fist made it much easier to practice the Hong Family Fist.
His proficiency increased rapidly. He had already reached the third level of the cultivation technique.
Its fierce and domineering fist technique complemented the ghostly speed of the Shadowless Fist. It was surprisingly compatible.
This allowed Wang Yu to win against Song Hezheng, who was at the same cultivation level as him.
In addition, although this booklet of Hong Family Fist technique was incomplete, it contained up till the fourth level for Wang Yu to practice.
This body tempering technique was also the most expensive among those he bought. He spent 4,000 crystal dollars to buy it.
Wang Yu had now realised that this purchase was very worth it. Previously, he was distressed about the money spent on it.
Other than that, the Unfalling Bell Technique and Zu Clan's Wind Chasing Kick only had three levels.
The incomplete Soft Yin Palm Technique only had two levels. He had already learnt all that was in the booklet.
"Sigh, if there's more blood pork, I can practice these few skills even faster…"
Wang Yu felt deeply regretful that he did not have the money to buy more precious ingredients when he went to the Nightsleepers' Gathering that time.
If he wanted to obtain a large number of precious ingredients now, he could only wait for an opportunity to try his luck.
…
The second day in the sweltering climate.
"Here's my chance!"
Sun Chengshan hurried back to the dojo, looking excited.
In the inner courtyard, Wang Yu stopped practicing and looked at Sun Chengshan. Song Hezheng who was beside him looked like he had been saved.
"Master, you're finally back."
At this moment, Sun Chengshan's clothes were covered in water stains. Even his hair and beard looked wet. They were stuck to his scalp as if he had just washed them. He looked a little comical.
The image of a powerful master has left him.
However, Sun Chengshan did not seem to care about his image. He was only concerned with his inexplicable excitement.
"Master, what opportunity has come?" Wang Yu asked curiously.
Sun Chengshan smiled and said, "Didn't you worry about finding precious ingredients? This is your chance to get them!"
At this moment, Wang Yu also became energized.
Song Hezheng seemed to have thought of something and immediately said in surprise, "could it be that the tide of the Silver Belt Sea is coming?"
"Indeed!" Sun nodded.
"Originally, the tide of the Silver Belt Sea should have come long ago. For some reason, it was delayed by two months this year.
Yesterday, a heat wave swept through several coastal waters. The source of the heat wave was the Silver Belt Sea. With such a phenomenon, the garrison immediately summoned the reconnaissance troops to the seaside.
It's only today that they could conclude that the tide is coming under the heat wave!"
Sun Chengshan was thirsty and hurriedly poured himself a pot of cold water to drink.
Wang Yu silently put on a thin undershirt and waited for Sun Chengshan to continue.
"Every time a tide comes, it's a great thing for us martial artists in town. At that time, countless deep-sea creatures will climb up from the bottom of the sea. After surviving through the poisonous sea, they will become live precious ingredients.
According to the olden rules, these deep-sea creatures belonged to whoever killed them.
Among them were fresh precious ingredients that were better than blood pork!
"Back then, I took a fancy to a large number of precious ingredients under this tide, so I decided to settle down here and develop. The martial artists on the island will firmly grasp such a great opportunity. At that time, everyone will obtain the benefits based on their own abilities!"
The more Sun Chengshan spoke, the more excited he became. He was quite confident in his own strength. When the time came, he would definitely benefit greatly.
More importantly, his blood pork had also been exhausted. Whether he could rush to the sixth level of the Shadowless Fist in one go would depend on the harvest of this tide!
No matter what, this tide was crucial to him!
No wonder he was so excited.
Wang Yu recalled his past memories and also had some impression of this tide.
The tide of the Silver Belt Sea was more like a disaster to the ordinary people.
Although the tide would only drown the beach at the edge of the island, with the worst case being that the port could be affected. The seawater could not reach the island town.
However, those deep-sea creatures that came ashore often escaped into the island town. To ordinary people, these deep-sea creatures could threaten their lives.
Every year, people died in the tides.
Therefore, ordinary people would usually hide at home in fear when the tide came.
Those monsters that crawled out of the sea would be handed over to the defending army and the martial artists in the other towns to deal with.
"However, this time, the tide is too strong. I'm afraid the risk will be greater than in previous years. When the time comes, if you want to follow, you have to be careful and act within your capabilities.
Every year, there would be many martial artists who die for their greed."
Wang Yu nodded. He was not a rash person. He would not approach a battle he had no confidence in.
"Don't worry, Master, I won't hold you back," Song said seriously.
"Yes, I trust the two of you. I'm just afraid that some of the young disciples in the dojo won't be able to hold back.
Hezheng, when the time comes, remind them a few more times so that they are also crisis conscious."
"I understand," Song agreed.
However, besides his excitement, Sun Chengshan was still a little worried about his disciples.
"Forget it. It's best if disciples at the first level of Body Tempering don't go. Even if disciples at the second level of Body Tempering were to go, they have to stay at the edge and join forces to deal with some fish that slipped through the net. Don't go deep into the harbor and the beach. It's still too dangerous there.
Coupled with the unusual heat wave this time, we don't know what will happen then…"
