Battle Through the Heavens: The Inner Struggle of Cultivation Brings Xiao Yan to Tears

He slowly unfolded it, and what came into view were several large yellow characters.

"Yellow-rank low-level combat skill: Stone-crushing Fist".

When Xiao Yang saw these words, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

After tidying up the scroll, put it back in its original place.

The power of low-level Yellow Rank combat skills is very weak, and can only mobilize a small amount of combat energy.

Generally, only cultivators at the Dou Qi stage would practice this.

Once you reach the level of a Fighter, the power of a low-level Yellow Rank Fighting Technique is actually about the same as a casual strike from a Fighter.

It might only consume a little less energy.

Xiao Yang walked towards the bookshelves at the back.

The further back the bookshelf is, the fewer scrolls it has.

The above are all low-level Yellow Rank combat techniques.

Following that are the intermediate and advanced levels of the Yellow Rank.

As for Xuan-rank combat techniques, they are not available here.

Xiao Yang went to the last bookshelf and randomly pulled out a black scroll.

"High-level Yellow Rank Combat Skill: Dragon Subduing Leg".

"When mastered to its peak, it can rival a Xuan-rank combat skill!"

He flipped through several scrolls, and many of the descriptions mentioned that mastering them to the extreme could rival Xuan-rank combat skills.

In reality, to achieve this level of power, according to the system's tiered system, one would need to at least reach the highest level of mastery.

For an average person to reach this level, it might take decades.

It might not even succeed.

Xiao Yang felt somewhat helpless; these were the only fighting techniques he could choose from.

There's nothing we can do but rely on the system.

He began to establish a task.

[Quest: Obtain the Yellow-Rank Advanced Combat Skill: Dragon Subduing Leg; Reward: A pair of specially crafted iron shoes.]

Looking at the mission rewards, Xiao Yang was somewhat bewildered.

What the heck are these specially made iron shoes?

He didn't stop, but continued trying to build the task.

[Mission: Obtain the Yellow-Rank Advanced Combat Skill: Overlapping Wave Fist; Reward: A pair of specially crafted gauntlets.]

Xiao Yang sighed as he looked at the mission rewards.

Unfortunately, he thought he could directly obtain a Xuan-rank combat skill.

However, since we've already set up the mission, let's take these two volumes of combat techniques back and take a look.

After registering, Xiao Yang returned to his courtyard with the two volumes of copied fighting techniques.

Two system notification sounds also echoed in his mind.

[Quest: Obtain the Yellow-Rank Advanced Combat Skill: Dragon Subduing Leg; Reward: A pair of specially crafted iron shoes. Completed. Claim reward?]

[Mission: Obtain the Yellow-Rank Advanced Combat Skill: Overlapping Wave Fist; Reward: A pair of specially crafted gauntlets. Completed. Claim reward?]

Soon, Xiao Yang returned to his courtyard with the two scrolls of fighting techniques in his hands.

After tossing the two scrolls of fighting techniques aside, Xiao Yang couldn't wait to claim his three mission rewards.

Soon, his mastery of the Mountain-Opening Fist reached 1/10 of the highest level.

In the system space, there was also an extra bottle of Rejuvenating Elixir, a pair of iron shoes, and a pair of boxing gloves.

Xiao Yang took out a pair of specially made boxing gloves.

As soon as he retrieved the system space, he realized something was wrong.

These boxing gloves are very heavy; I don't know what they're made of.

Despite its weight, it remains very soft.

Then, Xiao Yang took out the iron shoes and took a look.

Sure enough, although the iron shoes were heavy, they were not uncomfortable to wear.

He immediately made some guesses about the boxing gloves and iron shoes.

This must be specifically designed for training combat skills.

He tried modifying the previous proficiency task.

[Task: Practice the Mountain-Splitting Fist 300 times while wearing special gauntlets. Reward: Mountain-Splitting Fist Proficiency +1.]

Just as Xiao Yang had expected, the number of times he had to cultivate decreased significantly!

However, he did not start cultivating immediately.

Because he wanted to see first what the benefits were of mastering the Mountain-Opening Fist.

If the mission reward is average, he feels that the Great Perfection Mountain-Opening Fist is enough for his current needs.

Instead of wasting time continuing to cultivate, it's better to cultivate battle qi first, and then deal with it later when you obtain a Xuan-rank battle skill.

[Task: Master the Mountain-Splitting Fist to perfection. Reward: Basic Fist Technique Talent +1, Intermediate Xuan-Rank Combat Skill: Raging Mountain Fist]

Upon seeing the mission rewards, Xiao Yang was stunned.

Mastering the Mountain-Splitting Fist to perfection can actually grant you a mid-level Xuan-rank combat skill!

At this moment, Xiao Yang's eyes were filled with fervor.

practice!

You absolutely must learn this Mountain-Splitting Fist!

Train until you drop dead!

Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Yang prepared the bathtub and water, put on the specially made gauntlets he had just acquired, and began practicing the Mountain-Opening Fist.

He soon discovered that practicing the Mountain-Opening Fist while wearing boxing gloves did indeed increase the difficulty considerably.

These boxing gloves are quite heavy.

Wearing it while boxing, it easily deforms at first.

The task list in the system template can display task progress.

If your punches aren't executed correctly, it doesn't count as a training session.

He has to perform each movement perfectly for it to count as one time.

Chapter 9 Fierce Mountain Fist

Because of the special boxing gloves he wears, Xiao Yang now needs to take a restorative spiritual liquid bath after practicing the Mountain-Opening Fist dozens of times.

The physical strength and fighting spirit he needs to expend to practice the Mountain-Opening Fist have increased exponentially.

In a day, one might only be able to practice the Mountain-Opening Fist a hundred or so times.

Moreover, the amount of Rejuvenating Elixir consumed has also increased.

However, Xiao Yang did not feel sorry for him.

Because every time his physical strength and fighting spirit are exhausted, his fighting spirit will increase after he soaks in the restorative spiritual liquid bath.

Although it is not as effective as the Foundation Building Elixir specifically used for cultivating Battle Qi, it is still several times faster than cultivating on your own.

Most importantly, it can also improve Xiao Yang's physical condition.

Soon, more than half a month had passed.

In the past few days, Xiao Yang's Rejuvenating Elixir has been used up to less than one bottle left.

As for the first-tier magical beast essence blood obtained earlier, it has long been exhausted.

However, Xiao Yang also gained a great deal.

His physical condition improved a little more!

Moreover, he originally needed more than a month or two to reach the eighth level of Dou Qi.

Xiao Yang now feels that he is at the peak of the seventh level of Dou Qi, and there is a possibility that he can break through to the eighth level of Dou Qi at any time.

Finally, there's the Mountain-Opening Fist.

Xiao Yang's Mountain-Opening Fist has now reached the Great Perfection 9/10. The last proficiency task only requires him to practice the Mountain-Opening Fist ten more times.

Under the sunlight, Xiao Yang, wearing only a pair of shorts, was covered in sweat.

His hair was already soaked.

However, he had no intention of taking a break.

Xiao Yang then used the techniques of the Mountain-Opening Fist to circulate his fighting spirit into his meridians and acupoints.

"call!"

"call!"

The fist swept through the air, creating gusts of wind.

Soon, the last ten attempts were completed.

The system's familiar voice echoed in Xiao Yang's mind.

[Task: Practice the Mountain-Splitting Fist 300 times while wearing special boxing gloves. Reward: Mountain-Splitting Fist Proficiency +1. Completed. Claim reward?]

Xiao Yang's eyes showed no sign of fatigue, but rather were full of excitement.

"System, claim your reward!"

As he received the reward, some insights about the Mountain-Opening Fist suddenly came to his mind.
