Chapter 130: Breaking Through Again, Tempering the Physical Body

  Xu Yang was subjected to a violent backlash, stumbling backward seven or eight steps before regaining his footing. His heart was filled with vigilance - the peak of the Mystic Master was indeed extraordinary!

  Cao Minghong's shock was no less than Xu Yang's, his eyebrows furrowed, and he asked sternly: "You little brat, you're a Fire Extreme Mystic, where did you get the Water Extreme Mystical Power from?"

  Xu Yang did not respond.

  Cao An Kang said: "Third Uncle, no matter what secrets he has, capture him and interrogate him to find out."

  Cao Minghong nodded: "That's exactly what I mean." He was about to make another move, but heard Xu Yang shout in a low voice: "Wait!"

  Cao Minghong and Cao Ankang were both stunned.

  Xu Yang's face revealed a triumphant smile as he said, "I'll give you two a piece of advice."

  Cao Minghong had a bad feeling and asked: "What advice?"

  "Next time, don't give your opponent a chance to breathe." Xǔ Yáng burst out laughing, and the Eight Pole Array Flag suddenly shot out.

  "Not good, it's a feint!" Cao Minghong took a step forward and threw out a punch. A wave of Huo Xuan power swept across the empty space where Xu Yang had been standing just moments before, but he was already gone without a trace.

  "That detestable little brat, as cunning as a mud eel! This time, he definitely won't come out for a while!" Cao Minghong punched the trunk of a nearby large tree with one fist. The tree trunk shook violently, its roots snapped, and it crashed to the ground after shaking several times.

  "Third Uncle, don't get angry. Xu Yang will participate in the Haiyun Zhong selection and will definitely return to Donglai City again. It's impossible for him to always hide on Mount Haiyun!" Cao An comforted, "I'll keep an eye on him!"

  Haiyun Mountain, Lianyun Peak.

  With a loud crash, Xu Yang suddenly appeared in Lian Yunfeng's abode. His face was somewhat pale, and he secretly rejoiced.

  "It's a good thing I made preparations beforehand, setting the top of Lianyun Peak as one of the return points for the Human Concealment Array. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to escape, and I probably would have had to use the power of the Town Suppression Tower."

  Regarding the mysterious and unpredictable Zhēn Xuán Tower in the starry sea, Xǔ Yáng really didn't want to use it unless absolutely necessary. This tower gave Xǔ Yáng a mysterious and eerie feeling, with his current strength, he was not enough to activate it, if he wanted to force its power, the Zhēn Xuán Tower would definitely absorb Xǔ Yáng's life force, affecting his future progress.

  Xu Yang walked into the pavilion, closed his eyes and adjusted his breath. He had just exchanged a blow with Cao Minghong, the peak of Xuan Shi, and his breathing was a bit uneven.

  Xu Yang's eyes closed in meditation, his expression suddenly changed to one of joy. He had a feeling that he was gradually touching the barrier at the peak of Xuan Shi!

  Lianyun Peak's Xuanqi energy surged towards Xu Yang, who opened his mouth to absorb it. After being extracted by the major Xuan veins, it was transformed into pure Xuan energy and injected into the eight major Xuan wheels.

  "Not enough, Xuan Neng is still not enough!"

  Xu Yang made a swift decision and immediately took out two pieces of mid-grade Xuan stones from his storage ring, holding one in each palm, and fully activated the Xuan wheel to extract the Xuan energy within!

  In the other two pavilions, Li Wang and Yu XuanYu, who were in meditation, suddenly poked their heads out, looking at Xu Yang's pavilion in shock. They saw that the dense and profound energy from Lianyun Peak was pouring into Xu Yang's pavilion non-stop, as if there was a giant beast devouring the sky inside that unassuming pavilion!

  "Good fellow, he has reached the pinnacle of Xuan Shi... why does he need so much Xuan energy? No wonder his Xuan power is so thick and heavy, it can even withstand a Xuan Master." Li Wang sighed, he was shocked again.

  His eyes burning with a fierce determination, he said proudly: "With such an extraordinary peer as an enemy, I can hone myself and make my life even more magnificent."

  In the refining room, under Xu Yang's feet, there were already four or five pieces of mid-grade Xuan Stone fragments piled up, all of which had been extracted of their Xuan energy and turned into waste stone slag. Looking at Xu Yang again, his complexion was gradually stabilizing, and the rate at which the Heaven and Earth Xuan Qi was rushing into his body was also slowing down.

  Suddenly, Xu Yang opened his eyes and a clear whistle burst from his mouth. He finally reached the peak of Xuan Shi's realm, and the next step was to imagine ferocious beasts, Xuan Li transforming into shape!

  Every refined residence had someone walking out. Haiyue, Letingyun, Lichongxuan, as well as Liwang and Yu XuanYu, all walked into Xuyang's refined residence at the same time.

  "Congratulations, Xu Yang! You're indeed a genius, breaking through to the late stage of Xuan Shi in such a short time!" Hai Yue's voice was loud and excited.

  "I knew this little guy was a genius from an early age." Le Ting Yun smiled cleverly.

  Li Zhongxuan said faintly: "Reflect inwardly and don't leave behind hidden wounds."

  Xu Yang felt a warm current rising in his heart. These three, Xuan Zong, Hai Yue and Le Ting Yun, were friendly to him because he could bring them fame and wealth, but only Li Zhongxuan, who didn't seek anything in return, was cold on the outside but cared for him deeply inside.

  Xu Yang looked inward and found that the Star Sea had expanded again. The Eight Trigrams Wheel had been broadened several times, and was no longer a thin vortex, but rather eight thick pillars of similar thickness and length.

  "The next step is to transform the mysterious wheel into a physical form, condense it into the original spirit of life, and place it in the starry sea for nourishment." Xuyang was very clear about the path he had to take.

  Seeing Xu Yang without any hidden dangers, Li Zhongxuan nodded in satisfaction. Xu Yang's talent was so extraordinary that it revived a memory that had been sealed for a long time.

  Second brother, if you knew that your son Xu Yang has not fallen into the ways of ordinary people, but instead has shown exceptional talent beyond yours, I'm sure you would be delighted.

  Li Zhongxuan quietly left the temple and gazed at the clouds in the late afternoon, thinking silently.

  For the next two months, Xu Yang was in seclusion, solidifying his cultivation and tempering his physical body. His recent breakthrough had been too rapid, and his physical body's progress had lagged behind; he hadn't even had time to study the Mystic Arts.

  One morning.

  Li Zhongxuan held a long whip constructed from the extreme mysterious power of the wind in his hand, swinging it down against Xu Yang in front of him, one lash at a time.

  Xu Yang was topless, he didn't take advantage of his bronze body to resist, otherwise it would have lost the effect of tempering his physique.

  "Crack!" Li Zhongxuan's whip struck at a very tricky angle, always hitting the weak spots on Xu Yang's body. His blows were merciless, and after several lashes, blood began to seep out of Xu Yang's skin.

  With each lash, Xu Yang would take a deep breath of the mysterious energy, absorbing its power to nourish and repair his damaged skin, making it even more resilient and robust.

  Bu Yi stood at the entrance of the Jing She, covering her small mouth. She didn't understand this kind of self-mutilating training.

  As for Yu Xuanyu and Li Wang, they couldn't accept this kind of cultivation method even more. They were limited by traditional views, thinking that Xuanli was the foundation of Xuanzhi, and Xu Yang attached too much importance to the physical body, which was abandoning the root and pursuing the branch.

  "After forty-nine days of flogging, your physical body has been tempered to the extreme, of course, only the extreme of this realm," Li Zhongxuan waved his right hand and the cyan wind whip dissipated. "When you advance to Xuan Shi, your physical body will be further strengthened. Although I don't understand why you attach so much importance to physical strength, I won't interfere with your cultivation."

  "Thank you, Uncle Li." Xǔ Yáng's face was somewhat pale, he took a deep breath, the Eight Great Mystical Wheels roared and revolved, his injuries rapidly recovering, more effective than applying healing medicine.

  "It's simply a ferocious self-healing ability, if it weren't for Xu Yang, I really wouldn't have known that human physical potential could be so formidable." Lí Wàng sighed.
