Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 234 Men can be so handsome when they brag.

"If Grandmaster Zhang Yuanqiao wanted to kill me, what would he choose?"

"He did not obey his master's orders..."

"He didn't plead or beg, nor did he say he'd live or die with me..."

He said: "I believe I have some tricks up my sleeve. I was able to take Yang Diao'er away in front of Sect Leader Yang Wuji, Daoist Xuanming, and all the masters of the Northern Yan Sect of the Demon Sect. I believe I also have a way to protect my beloved woman in front of all the elders."

"This is the first time I've ever seen a man look so cool when he's bragging."

Yang Diao'er was in Sun Yanwan's arms at the time. Others might not know, but how could she not know that her father and master had gone easy on her?
She didn't believe Sun Yanwan didn't know either, but Sun Yanwan could make even bragging sound grand and confident!
Yang Diao'er suddenly had a thought: "If he's lying to me, then let him lie to me for the rest of his life!"

Zhang Yuanqiao, recovering from his shock, asked, "Do you believe he can protect Yang Diao'er in front of us?"

Wang Xuangui said calmly, "I don't believe it!"

The leader of the Songyang Sect added, "But he really did snatch the person out right under Yang Wuji's and Xuanming Laoguai's noses."

Yin Bailian chuckled and said, "I still think he's just bragging."

Zhang Yuanqiao remained silent for a long while before saying softly, "I lied to you."

"Although it was Qingxi who acted on her own initiative, I have never clarified it."

"When he first returned to Songyang, he had actually only been a disciple for less than a year..."

The six boys from Songyang all wore expressions of horror.

Yin Bailian's voice trembled as she asked, "No wonder his martial arts progressed so rapidly after returning to Songyang. I thought it was because the second senior brother's guidance was inadequate, and the eldest senior brother was the one giving him guidance, which led to this breakthrough."

Zhang Yuanqiao chuckled and said casually, "Why can't I teach disciples? Isn't Qingxi my disciple? The youngest grandmaster in the world today. Isn't Yan Wan my disciple? He even created the Immortal Hammer and the Withering and Flourishing Technique."

Wang Xuangui suddenly had an impulse to join forces with his junior brothers to beat up Zhang Yuanqiao. He couldn't possibly defeat him alone, but if six grandmasters joined forces, even Zhang Yuanqiao would be bruised and battered.

This junior brother of mine can be quite a jerk sometimes.

Yin Bailian took a deep breath and said, "So, it's actually possible for him to do it?"

No one answered him, no one believed Sun Yanwan could do it, but no one had the confidence to refute him either.

The Songyang Sect, with one Grandmaster and six other Grandmasters, actually began to doubt that a certain-rank martial artist could easily take someone away in front of them. How absurd is that?

Sun Yanwan hadn't really thought that much about it. He just figured that since the seven elders wouldn't actually make a move, no one would expose him. He was just casually bragging and putting on a show. He never expected that he would actually succeed in his act.

He returned to the Taiyi Temple on Lingjian Peak with Yang Diao'er. Less than two hours later, his master and senior uncle jointly issued a curfew, forbidding him from leaving Lingjian Peak until he advanced to the Innate Realm. The Seven Friends of Songyang were also worried that if this disciple continued his reckless behavior, he might be killed one day.

If we leave him on Songyang Mountain, even if Yang Wuji comes in person, we won't be able to get him back.

The next day, Wang Xuangui personally went up to Lingjian Peak to guide Sun Yanwan in cultivating the Riding Wind Technique.

Zhang Yuanqiao had previously prevented him from practicing this lightness skill because he was worried it would hinder his martial arts progress. But now that Sun Yanwan had already reached the first rank in both internal and external cultivation, and had opened up all eight extraordinary meridians and twelve regular meridians, his true qi could circulate freely throughout his body, so there was no longer any such concern.

The Seven Friends of Songyang unanimously agreed that Sun Yanwan desperately needed a superior lightness skill.

The lightness skill activated by the Ruyi Qiankun Bag relies too heavily on internal energy, and even with sufficient internal energy, it is indeed inferior to the Riding the Wind Technique.

As Sun Yanwan listened to Wang Xuangui explain the Wind Riding Technique, she secretly followed the method and circulated her true energy.

There are five types of light-body skills in the world: the Qi-riding method, the lifting and leaping method, the retreating method, the body-changing method, and the swift movement method!
The Riding the Wind Technique is the method of riding qi, and it is the most superior one. Lightness skill relies entirely on internal force to propel it. However, the Songyang School's mental cultivation method is more advanced, and with the same power, the lightness skill it propels is even more superior.

The Lifting and Leaping Technique is an external martial art that relies entirely on a pair of strong legs to leap high and low. The stronger the external martial arts muscles and tendons become, the more natural and corresponding changes will occur in the Lifting and Leaping Technique.

The retreating method is a footwork technique, and every type of light-body skill in the world has a corresponding footwork technique.

The body-changing technique is a movement technique that allows the body to turn at will, especially in the air. It relies entirely on the skill of the body technique, and all the light-body skills in the world have corresponding body techniques.

Needless to say, the method of swift movement involves running at full speed in the most energy-efficient way. Although it is not very useful when fighting enemies, it is extremely practical for long-distance travel, chasing enemies, and escaping pursuit.

Although the Riding the Wind Technique is a method of riding qi, it also touches on the other four methods, especially the body movement transformation and long-distance travel, which are unparalleled in the world.

Sun Yanwan had always admired this lightness skill, and now that he had practiced it, he felt that it was infinitely mysterious. His true energy could now flow freely throughout his body, and he had even opened up ten hidden meridians: Cold Spring, Moonlight, Black Tide, Withered, Flourishing, Sprout, Taibai, Earth Listening, Formless, and Sumeru!
He mastered the Wind Riding Technique very quickly, and in just a few days, his lightness skill improved greatly. Even Wang Xuangui couldn't help but praise him, saying, "If you were a thief, few in the world could catch you."

Sun Yanwan originally thought that Wang Xuangui would return to Du'e Temple after passing on the Riding the Wind Technique, but she did not expect that it was not Wang Xuangui who left, but all six of Songyang who came to Taiyi Temple and stayed there. They also called over Pei Han and Jiang Yan, two third-generation masters, and joined Sun Yanwan to revise the Meridian Classic.

The Meridian Scripture created by Master Feng fully cultivates the eight extraordinary meridians, the twelve main meridians, and the thirty-six hidden meridians, making it a peerless skill in the world. Although the Meridian Scripture also has the flaw of slow cultivation and slow progress, it can still be regarded as the origin of the five classics of the Songyang School.

After discussing for more than two months, the ten people gave up on integrating the Sun Golden Scripture into the Meridian Scripture. The Meridian Scripture still had the function of selecting disciples and which school of cultivation was suitable for it, so this was just a slight supplement to the shortcomings.

However, the Seven Friends of Songyang, Pei Han, and Jiang Yan all agreed to revise the Taiyang Jin Jing (Golden Classic of the Sun) and supplement it with the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and the Twelve Orthodox Meridian Methods, compiling it into the Second Volume of the Zi Wu Jing (Midnight-Noon Classic). This Second Volume of the Zi Wu Jing consists of fifty-six chapters, each focusing on a specific meridian and elaborating in detail on how to specifically connect them.

From then on, the Songyang School's Ziwu Jing (Meridian Classic) was divided into two volumes, and the text was marked as having been revised by ten people, including the Seven Friends of Songyang, Pei Han, Jiang Yan, and Sun Yanwan.

Sun Yanwan had already revised the Meridian Classic and thought that would be the end of it. However, the Seven Friends of Songyang found countless methods for connecting hidden meridians in the Golden Sutra of the Sun and wanted to integrate them into the Five Classics and Thirteen Unique Techniques of the Songyang School. Helpless, he could only keep writing letters to Black Dragon City...
