Chapter 112: Chapter 111: Internal Organs Resonating

Sensing that soaring, progressive aura, a flicker of interest appeared in Zhao Xuanqi’s eyes.

’Some kind of Spiritual Secret Technique?’

By using a certain philosophy, or a Meditation Method, to intensely stimulate specific regions of the brain, it achieves an effect similar to spiritual hypnosis, thereby greatly unlocking the body’s potential.

This wasn’t an orthodox Pile Skill, but it could be used to supplement any Pile Skill or Secret Martial Dao.

Why does the cultivation of a Secret Transmission require Secret Medicine?

Because, aside from a few exceptionally gifted prodigies, the progress of an ordinary individual’s Martial Dao is extremely slow. Therefore, they need Secret Medicine for specific stimulation and to supplement nutrients.

However, if one were to practice this Divine Intent Fist, things would be different.

If his guess was correct, the introductory stage of this Divine Intent Fist should be able to enhance the body’s metabolic capacity through intense spiritual stimulation. This was equivalent to possessing a portion of his own digestive talent. Moreover, the stronger the Spirit and the firmer the will, the stronger this stimulation would likely become.

At that point, even without the aid of Secret Medicine, an ordinary person could stimulate their metabolic system to make better use of their daily food intake, thereby obtaining the nutrients needed to strengthen their body and increase the speed of their Martial Dao cultivation.

If the energy obtained from an equal amount of food was originally one unit, then after cultivating the Divine Intent Fist, it would become two or even three.

For ordinary people, this was indeed an opportunity. But in reality, all roads led to the same destination. It was simply using large quantities of food to replace Secret Medicine, breaking, to a certain extent, the major Schools’ monopoly on Rare Beast Materials.

But for the common people of this era, food wasn’t exactly easy to come by either.

Moreover, not everyone possessed the firm will required for the Divine Intent Fist.

It could only be said that the Divine Martial Department of the National Salvation Association had opened up a viable path.

"If you’re my opponent, I won’t hold back."

Sun Yunyong said in a low voice.

HUFF! HUFF!

RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

With each breath, clouds of vapor seemed to swirl around Sun Yunyong. His aura was powerful, like an old ape deep in the mountains, breathing in and out amongst the clouds and Fog.

At the same time, a series of low rumbles emanated from within his body. It wasn’t just the sound of his heart beating, but as if all his internal organs were roaring as they operated.

Amidst this rumbling, he entered a state higher than "Rong," where his internal organs, muscles, and Blood Qi all resonated in unison.

Internal Organs Resonating!

Muscles and sinews are easy to train, but internal organs are difficult to cultivate!

In the Inner Cultivation realm, one used immense body control, guided by a Breathing Technique, to forge the internal organs. This process made the originally fragile organs stronger step by step. At the same time, it allowed Martial Arts Families to further control their own organs, coordinate their bodies, and unleash even greater Physical Ability.

This was different from the Qi Surge of Cross-Training, which spread from the limbs to the torso, from the parts to the whole.

Due to the fragility of the internal organs and the body’s insufficient control over them, Inner Cultivation followed a path from the whole to the parts.

First, through a Breathing Technique, all the internal organs were trained together until they reached a certain level of strength. The characteristic of this stage was Internal Organs Resonating.

For many ordinary Inner Cultivation Martial Artists, Internal Organs Resonating was already the peak of the Inner Cultivation realm. Of the several Inner Cultivation practitioners Zhao Xuanqi had killed in Guangdong, not a single one had reached the state of Internal Organs Resonating.

However, for truly top-tier experts, Internal Organs Resonating was merely the beginning of Inner Cultivation.

Just as in the Cross-Training realm—where Partial Qi Surge, Qi Circulation Throughout the Body, Partial Extreme Breakthrough, and All-Body Extreme Breakthrough represented vastly different levels of actual power—the same was true for Inner Cultivation.

Above Internal Organs Resonating was the realm of Five Qi Tongxuan, where one trained the five organs individually, enabling each to possess extraordinary capabilities.

"Earth Spirit" Feng Zheng was an expert at this level, having already mastered the Heart and Liver Qi among the Five Qi.

For Sun Yunyong to be able to achieve Internal Organs Resonating was already exceptionally rare.

"Come on. Let me see what the Divine Martial Department is capable of."

Zhao Xuanqi’s expression was calm. He then activated Qi Circulation Throughout the Body. But that wasn’t all. After the Qi Surge covered him, he immediately used Blood Essence, pushing his body to its peak state. His frame swelled to about 2.2 meters in height, like a giant.

His sweeping gaze was filled with an utterly terrifying oppressive force. Sun Yunyong couldn’t help but take a deep breath. Only by facing him head-on could one truly feel Zhao Xuanqi’s horrifying aura.

The roars of beasts seemed to echo in his ears. A colossal shadow seemed to seep out from Zhao Xuanqi’s body, rising up and coalescing into a gigantic, ferocious beast head that looked down on him, pressing down on him.

’To shatter my body and cleave through thorns and brambles!!’

Sun Yunyong fiercely firmed his will, and withstanding that terrifying aura, he launched an attack at Zhao Xuanqi.

BOOM!!

With his Internal Organs Resonating, he threw a punch. It was like the sun rising in the east, piercing the Fog, sweeping away demonic miasma, and illuminating the earth.

Zhao Xuanqi’s pressure didn’t make Sun Yunyong flinch. Instead, it further ignited his Divine Intent Fist’s will. As he threw the punch, the muscles all over his body popped, and as his organs operated, immense Physical Ability was unleashed.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance.

Divine Intent Fist—Red Sun!!

"Good!!"

A bright light burst from Zhao Xuanqi’s eyes, seemingly surprised by the aura Sun Yunyong had just unleashed.

He raised a palm, fingers held tight together, and suddenly struck out.

ROAR!!

The wind from the strike tore through the air like the roar of a furious tiger. The shockwave rippled out, making the leaves in the forest rustle and sway.

Fierce Form, Tiger Monarch.

Hundred Fierce Mountain Forest!!

BOOM!!

Fists and palms met. The two figures were locked in a stalemate. Sun Yunyong had steadily received Zhao Xuanqi’s explosive technique!

The person sent by the Divine Martial Department to meet with Zhao Xuanqi was naturally no ordinary character.

Seeing his technique blocked, a smile touched the corners of Zhao Xuanqi’s lips. His body showed no signs of being locked in place; he immediately launched a second attack.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!!

The two traded blows with fists and palms, their bodies tangling together. The terrifying shockwaves from their offensive exchange nearly bent the branches and leaves of the surrounding trees.

’Strong! He’s too strong!’

Sun Yunyong was shocked. He was already an Inner Cultivation master at the level of Internal Organs Resonating and possessed the Divine Intent Fist, yet in a direct clash, he was still being completely suppressed.

’Qi Circulation Throughout the Body, All-Body Extreme Breakthrough.’

’It’s not just his power, but also his terrifying reflexes, formidable intuition, and perfectly honed techniques.’

’And it seems he still has some powerful techniques and terrifying Secret Techniques he hasn’t used yet. He’s still holding back.’

’Is this really a seventeen-year-old Martial Artist?!’

On the other side, Zhao Xuanqi was also slightly surprised.

Even among Inner Cultivation Martial Artists, very few could clash with him head-on, especially since Sun Yunyong’s physique didn’t look like that of someone who specialized in strength.

Moreover, during their clashes, his opponent seemed to be expending no energy and taking no damage, constantly maintaining his peak condition.

’Immortal Divine Will?’

Zhao Xuanqi was beginning to understand. Under the stimulation of the Divine Intent Fist’s Secret Technique, a Martial Artist’s body would enter a state of extreme excitement. Pain, injuries, and so on would be temporarily suppressed until the very moment the body could no longer hold on, at which point it would suddenly collapse.

This point was quite similar to the additional characteristics of his Hundred Beasts Mystic Gate body training.

’As expected of a Secret Technique used by the people of the National Salvation Association. "Better to be a shattered jade than an intact tile," fighting until the very last moment. No wonder the major powers fear them like tigers.’
