Chapter 71 Break the Wall With One Punch!

One’s spirit comes from one’s energy.

 

In the past, Li Muyang needed to sleep many hours in a day. Now he would use many hours a day to study and exercise.

 

As always, Li Muyang got up at dawn.

 

He habitually stretched and relaxed his muscles and bones and then started practising the learning steps of the Qi-breaking Technique that he developed.

 

Although his body’s temperature rose and his heartbeat accelerated to such an extent that he almost fainted during the last walk, this was not a reason for him to give up.

 

However, after that incident happened, he re-read the “Qi-breaking Technique” booklet which had only a thousand words, several times, carefully pondering over the depth of the text, and found that he was not on the wrong track.

 

Since his practicing steps were correct, that was the price he had to pay in the learning process or the result he should get after reaching a certain level.

 

Li Muyang was reluctant to give up and even felt ashamed for being so slack.

 

He had wasted more than ten years and had been scolded by people for more than ten years. No one could realize how happy he was to be able to study normally this time.

 

What’s more, after the Crow incident and the smashing incidents by the hooligans, he had a stronger awareness and desire for the use of force.

 

He needed to become stronger.

 

He wanted to protect himself and also to protect his family from harm.

 

He concentrated and kept his mind clear.

 

Li Muyang walked step by step. Three steps forward and two steps backward. Left and right went together. Two steps forward and three steps backward. He practiced hard and almost forgot about his tiredness.

 

He could do endless practices. As long as he still had the energy, he would continue to walk this way. With this type of practice and the method of breathing, the longer he walked, the fitter his body became.

 

Of course, after a long walk, he would naturally be tired and he would stop and rest.

 

However, there was an accident when he did his exercise this morning.

 

He had already felt all kinds of discomfort such as shortness of breath, flushing and a rapid heartbeat, when he walked for only half an hour.

 

Thinking that his practice method was not wrong, this should be the natural reaction of the “Qi-breaking Technique”—even his sister Li Sinian said that this happened when she practiced. So Li Muyang persisted for a while.

 

When he persevered on after an hour, all the uncomfortable symptoms disappeared. His face was not red, his heart was not beating so rapidly and his color was back to normal.

 

“It really is like this.” Li Muyang rejoiced. He felt that he was right.

 

Li Muyang had now walked for two hours, but he did not feel tired, and even grew more spiritual.

 

He felt something was wrong. He wanted to stop and rest, but he could not stop.

 

His body was like a kite. When the wind blew gently, he could walk with the wind. Even if there was no wind, he could glide in the breeze.

 

The more anxious he was, the faster his pace became. The faster he moved, the lighter his body became.

 

In the end, he could see his body clearly, but he could not feel the existence of the body.

 

He lost control of his body.

 

“Ah—”

 

Li Muyang grunted.

 

A strong pain came over his body.

 

He felt that the blood flow in his body was smoother, as if all the blocked veins had been cleared.

 

“Bang!”

 

Another intense wave of pain came over him.

 

He felt the acupoints in his body exploding and connecting with each other, just like the stars that crisscrossed into lines.

 

“Crack!”

 

The bones of Li Muyang’s body rattled, like someone frying beans in a pan.

 

Li Muyang felt like he was about to fly, he felt like he would turn into a swallow flying in the air.

 

This feeling was very fantastic, but it made him panic.

 

He knew that he was practicing the “Qi-breaking Technique”, which was meant to store energy in his Dantian and it hit him with an instant force.

 

His body was getting lighter and lighter, so how could he store the energy?

 

Li Muyang was really scared. Although the “Qi-breaking Technique” said that this was the ultimate treasure of Taoism, easy to practice but difficult to master. If he got into trouble or was disoriented, his previous efforts would be in vain.

 

The serious point was that it could destroy his Dantian and turn him into a living vegetable—in short, he would be a total wreck.

 

He used to be a wastrel, he was able to accept it, because anyway, he was a wastrel from the day he was born.

 

But when he managed to stand on his own feet and tasted success, then becoming a wastrel again was unbearable for him.

 

What Li Muyang did not know was that when he practiced these exercises, he had to pay attention to the gradual achievement and there must be a process of gradually adapting to this state.

 

Li Sinian practiced for ten years. Although she did not have a famous teacher, she learned the Shattering Fist skill without the help of any teacher.

 

This was the importance of foundation.

 

Li Muyang had been practicing for less than three months, but he kept pushing forward. In this way, his body did not accumulate enough energy and there was no energy in his Dantian. The faster he walked, the faster he progressed and the emptier his body became.

 

This was the huge trap of the “Qi-breaking Technique”: Being empty.

 

When the body became empty, the person could fly in the air.

 

If he could not stop or had no help with his energy in time, what would be awaiting Li Muyang was the gradual exhaustion of his energy and he would die.

 

Without the guidance of a famous teacher and the help of a master, Li Muyang was in an extremely dangerous state at this moment.

 

Because of the fear in his heart, his consciousness was not clear anymore.

 

The more he thought about it, the more he was afraid. And the more he was afraid, the more thoughts he had!

 

Li Muyang tried to yell, but found that he could not speak. He wanted to change direction and run toward his room, but his feet were still circling in the air.

 

Three steps forward and two steps backward. Left and right went together. Two steps forward and three steps backward. He did not feel tired.

 

Sweat gathered on Li Muyang’s forehead. The sweat beads became more and more dense and his entire head and body felt as if he was drenched in water.

 

Li Muyang’s heartbeat accelerated again, thumping violently, like a heavy hammer hitting on his chest.

 

Li Muyang’s eyes were covered with blood veins and each blood vein was like a red earthworm. They spread and expanded all over Li Muyang’s eyeballs.

 

He was in a dangerous state!

 

His life was at stake!

 

At this moment, a red blood mist covered his eyes.

 

The black scales on the back of his hands swelled and it felt as if there was thunder and lightning throbbing silently on the surface of the scales.

 

Li Muyang’s body began to heat up and waves of strong heat flowed from the back of his hands where the scales were located, and flowed toward the acupuncture points in his body.

 

The hot stream, like red magma, destroyed everything that they encountered, but they were restored instantly.

 

Ten million streams spread throughout his body and finally converged in Li Muyang’s Dantian, like streams flowing into the sea.

 

All the energy flowed into his Dantian and his power was unleashed.

 

His Dantian was getting hotter and hotter and Li Muyang felt like he was being cooked alive.

 

Li Muyang suddenly became very angry and wanted to kill someone.

 

There were thousands of words and endless grievances that he wanted to express.

 

And there was endless hatred that he wanted to vent.

 

Li Muyang felt his body growing bigger and bigger and his Dantian was about to be boosted by the surging energy.

 

Li Muyang threw a punch with his right hand.

 

“Bang!”

 

With a loud noise, a huge hole appeared in the wall in front of Li Muyang.

 

The first ray of sunlight penetrated through the huge hole and shone on Li Muyang, who then collapsed on the ground.

 

It was already daybreak!

 

…

 

Luo Qi and Li Yan were awakened by the loud noise and ran out hastily. They saw the huge hole in the wall.

 

Li Sinian was quite calm. She came over with a yawn, glanced at the hole in the wall and said angrily, “Li Muyang, are you done? We still have to sleep! You are up so early in the morning to practice, it is really noisy…”

 

“This is—Muyang is practicing?” Li Yan’s eyes widened as he looked at the big hole in the wall which was bigger than the size of a man. Even if he used the Heavenly King Spear, he was afraid that he could only poke a small hole in the wall if he hit it with a shot. But his son almost broke the wall with a punch. How much power did this need?

 

“Of course it is,” Li Sinian said, rubbing her eyes. “It is the ‘Qi-breaking Technique’, I taught him that.”

 

Luo Qi’s thoughts were on Li Muyang, who had collapsed on the ground. Looking at him, she immediately ran over and asked urgently, “Muyang, are you all right? Did you get injured?”

 

“I am fine.” Li Muyang pointed to the broken wall and said awkwardly, “Mom, I did not mean to break it…”

 

“I know you did not do it on purpose.” Luo Qi looked at Li Muyang thoughtfully and said with a smile, “Who would deliberately punch the wall like this?”

 

Luo Qi had seen Li Muyang expressing his power, so she was mentally prepared for such a thing to happen at home.

 

Li Yan was overjoyed. He came over and asked, “Muyang also learned the ‘Qi-breaking Technique’?”

 

“Yes.” Li Muyang nodded and said, “I have studied it for more than two months.”

 

“You can practice to such a level in such a short time, it seems that I should forget about the Heavenly King Spear move and learn this…” Li Yan said. He thought that since his son and daughter were able to learn it so well, it seemed that the “Qi-breaking Technique” was the fated skill of his family. He should not miss this opportunity again.

 

Li Sinian walked to Li Muyang. She looked at Li Muyang and then looked at the big hole in the wall. She said in a dissatisfied tone, “Did you use the Shattering Fist move?”

 

“I think so…” Li Muyang said. “I am not so sure.”

 

“I studied for ten years before I was able to use Shattering Fist move and it was only a punch to break the tank. You can break the wall with a punch in less than three months of walking—brother, you stress me out. You came in first in the empire in the Liberal-arts Exam and you are getting more and more powerful. Can I still bully you in the future?”
