Chapter 94: Fist Like Floating Light
Endless yellow sand, pitch-black night sky, in the depths of the white prison star, this desert is quiet and lifeless.
It is also unknown what the reason is, but the desert night sky no longer has a layer of clouds like lead blocks covering it. The sky is cloudless, with countless stars twinkling, yet there is no moon in sight. It is said that a hundred years ago, the White Prison Star had four bright moons hanging in the night sky, making for a spectacular sight.
However, in the devastating aftermath of that interstellar war, the four satellites orbiting Byakuren were reduced to cosmic dust, and Byakuren itself became a hellish realm overrun by monstrous creatures.
In the dead of night, the temperature in this desert was still cold, even colder than other places on the planet.
Behind a small sand dune, a faint bonfire was lightly dancing, dispelling the chill of the deep night, and stretching out the three figures beside it.
Under the fiery radiation, the surrounding sand dunes rose and fell one after another, with waves of cold wind blowing by, rolling up a vast expanse of flying sand.
In the distance, about a few thousand meters away from the bonfire, beside a sand dune, a small sandbag suddenly protruded from the shadows and silently swept forward, leaving a sunken mark on the sandy ground. Its speed was extremely fast, and in an instant, it rushed to a place not far from the bonfire.
Bang!
Yellow sand flew everywhere, a black shadow darted out from under the sand, and in the light of the flames, it was unexpectedly a giant python with two heads, its entire body a sandy yellow color, its skin as hard as rock.
Two-headed sand boa!
It is a fourth-level alien beast, usually distributed in deserts and hills, using the environment as cover to hunt for food silently and stealthily, moving like the wind, with extremely hard leather all over its body.
Bursting out of the sand, the two heads of this double-headed sand boa opened their bloody mouths wide and bit towards the two figures beside the bonfire. Just look at how wide the snake's mouth was open, it could swallow a big strong man whole.
"Alas, here we go again." Sighing, Sun Yan put down the fire poker in his hand.
As soon as he moved, Sun Yan had already turned around, facing two huge python heads, the ferocious blood basin-like mouths, and the python's fangs were flashing cold light in the firelight.
His eyes were calm, his shoulders slightly sunk, Sun Yan took a small step forward, and a low shout burst out of his throat. Two fist shadows shot up from below, colliding with the sharp fangs of the twin-headed sand python.
These two punches, without the continuous double crisp sound of "Two-Section Collapse Fist" and without the violent roar of "Tiger's Fatal Killing Strike", were like two flashes of light that swept across the dark night, disappearing in an instant.
Floating Light Heaven Shocking Seal!
Knock knock!
The fist shadow and the double-headed sand python collided, and the two snake heads of this fourth-level heteromorphic beast simultaneously let out a burst of miserable cries. The huge fangs were crushed into powder, and one of the snake heads even exploded on the spot, with red and white objects splashing and flying everywhere.
The massive body of the Double-Headed Sand Viper also couldn't withstand the counter-shock from these two punches, and it flew straight out, crashing into a small sand dune.
Whoosh!
Sun Yan's feet moved, treading on the "Hurricane Step", his body was like a ghostly figure, chasing after him in a hurry, but the small sand dune sank down, and there was no trace of the double-headed sand python.
"It's quick to dig sand." A hint of a smile played on the corner of his mouth, and Sun Yan muttered: "However, at this time, not considering escape, but thinking about hunting, the brain of low-level alien beasts is really not good."
He turned around, Sun Yan stood in place, quickly scanning the sandy ground, and then his eyes burst out with a sharp light, his right fist moved, and he swung it out.
A loud roar echoed through the air, a fist print shattered the void, containing a hint of golden light, and pierced into the sandy ground. Immediately after, a tiger's howl was heard, the sand burst open, and a column of yellow sand shot out like a pillar. Under the illumination of the flames, one could see that amidst the sand were chunks of flesh and blood, filled with a kind of cruel beauty.
Obviously, under the perfect level of 【Tiger's Deadly Strike】, this two-headed sand boa was killed with one hit.
Huu... Sun Yan let out a long sigh, standing still and silent, savoring the gains from this battle.
Tiger Annihilation, Absolute Killing Strike. Since Sun Yan broke through to the third-level warrior, he has been able to fully unleash the power of this four-star superior combat technique, especially after integrating it with the intent of the Golden Fist, the destructive power of this combat technique is far beyond that of other techniques.
However, compared with "Floating Light Sky Crack", "Tiger Evil Life Killing" is completely incomparable.
A week ago, when Bailong said that he would use this martial skill as the price of the transaction, Sun Yan initially didn't care and thought it was at most a fifth-grade martial skill.
Sun Yan had heard Mu Tong mention more than once that the fifth-grade combat technique, if put on the black market, was extremely rare. High-level combat techniques, martial arts, and gene source liquids were originally extremely precious things.
But when he started practicing the Floating Light Sky Shattering Technique, Sun Yan suddenly realized that the difficulty of cultivating this martial skill far exceeded his imagination.
Nowadays, Sun Yan has long been incomparable to his past self. His progress in martial arts is rapid, far surpassing that of most young martial artists of the same generation. If there's anything lacking, it would be the accumulation of experience and the sedimentation of foundation, which is also the gap between him and Feng Lingxue and others.
In terms of martial arts comprehension, even with Feng Lingxue's extraordinary talent, he is still inferior to Sun Yan. However, after practicing the "Floating Light Shaking Heaven Technique" for half a day, Sun Yan's astonishing and unconventional martial arts comprehension can only vaguely touch the surface, finding it difficult to grasp the key points of this combat technique.
From this, Sun Yan could almost confirm that the Floating Light Sky Shattering Technique was not ordinary, profound and unmatched, it might be a six-star upper-grade battle technique, or even a battle technique above six stars.
The combat skills above the sixth rank have been passed down for thousands of years, and after countless predecessors in the martial arts have eliminated the false and retained the true, it is possible to break through the category of sixth-rank combat skills, with power beyond imagination.
Martial skills and techniques start from the seventh rank, all of which are called Great Martial Arts. Each one is worth a city, and ordinary martial artists spend their entire lives trying to master just one of them.
This "Floating Light Shocking Heaven Fist" emphasizes the use of speed and strength, with the fist being as swift as floating light, shaking heaven and earth.
The more he practiced this martial art, the more Son Yan felt its grandeur and profundity. Among all the martial arts he had come into contact with so far, perhaps only the "Dragon Subduing Pillar" could be compared to it.
Regarding the "Dragon Subduing Pillar" martial art, Sun Yan speculated that he was able to master it to perfection within a month because of the benefits of scar transmission. Scar transmission is far more effective than oral transmission of martial arts, its benefits are unimaginable.
Recalling the battle just now, Sun Yan thought to himself: "After cultivating for a week, the Floating Light Sky Shocking Technique has only just entered the initial stage of mastery. This martial skill is profound and intricate. I wonder when I can truly grasp it."
Not far away, Bellon held his chin and gazed at Sun Yan, who was silently meditating, and called out softly: "Hey, Sun Yan, what are you still doing there? If you don't come over soon, the meat will all be eaten by Xiao Ai."
Next to him, a little rabbit was holding a piece of roasted meat and kept burying his head to gnaw at it. Upon hearing this, he finally raised his head, turned around, opened his rabbit mouth, revealing two rabbit teeth, as if smiling with a curled lip.
"Wow, this little guy can eat a lot!" Sun Yan hurried over and snatched the last piece of barbecue from the rack, shouting: "As a lovely rabbit, you should be a thorough vegetarian, how can you fight with others for meat?"
Looking at the scene of one person and one rabbit competing for food, a faint smile flashed across Bailong's eyes, and he hummed: "You still have the nerve to compete with Xiao Ai for food, claiming to be a martial arts genius every day. Any battle skill or technique, as long as you get started, can be quickly mastered. But now it's been a week, what level has your 'Floating Light Shocking Heaven Technique' reached? Not even reaching the initial stage, alas, how embarrassing!"
Come on, can't this kid have some manners? Will he die if he doesn't insult others for a minute?
Sun Yan was stunned, his eyes wide with shock and his face filled with gloom. According to Bai Long, anyone who cultivates the "Floating Light Shaking Heaven Technique" can achieve perfection in three days and master it in three months. But Sun Yan alone couldn't even grasp the initial stage of the technique in a week.
As for Bailong's words, Sun Yan could only swallow his teeth and accept it. Who made this combat skill taught by Bailong? As for other situations about this combat skill, Sun Yan was completely ignorant. Whatever Bailong said would be fine, how could he refute?
By the bonfire, Bailong held a fire stick and poked at the flames, continuing his sarcastic remarks: "A true martial arts prodigy should be at least a three-star warrior by the age of 16. Look at your current level of martial arts, you've only just broken through to become a three-star warrior not long ago. Alas, young man, sometimes you should be more humble and not so arrogant."
Bailong smiled again and teased: "Sun Yan, if you can be more humble and polite, I might consider you as a friend."
Being ridiculed like this, Sun Yan suddenly felt that the delicious meat had lost its flavor. He stared at Baylon and said: "Who would want to be friends with a guy like you? However, if you, Baylon, could just slightly improve your manners, I might barely consider you as a brother."
Upon hearing this, Bailong's eyes moved slightly, and a mysterious smile appeared on his jade-like face as he said meaningfully: "Brothers? I'm afraid that's not possible for us."
"Can't you just stop being so full of yourself?" Sun Yan shook his head in frustration.
After spending a week with Bellon, Sun Yan had completely changed his impression of this blond young man. Although that mouth was extremely poisonous, the person's knowledge was profound and deep, even surpassing Feng Lingxue by several points. Moreover, he was a man of his word, and every move he made was dignified and natural, making him truly admirable.
What kind of family can cultivate such an excellent young man, Sun Yan couldn't help but feel curious.
Thinking of Belon's purpose for this trip, Sun Yan couldn't help but ask: "What is it that makes you risk your life to come here? Belon, you must understand that if you lose your life, everything else is meaningless."
As soon as the words fell, the smile on Bellon's face disappeared, and the atmosphere between the two people suddenly became quiet, with only one or two crackling sounds coming from the bonfire, exceptionally clear.
After a long time, Bailong slowly said: "I came to Baiyu Star to find an important heirloom of my ancestors. If I miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to have another chance in the future."
Sun Yan was taken aback, his face turned solemn, and he nodded silently, without another word. He knew very well that the members of those families, clans, and powers who had inherited for over a thousand years regarded their ancestors' relics as more important than their own lives.
After a moment of silence, Bailong let out a soft sigh and said: "Sun Yan, I take back what I said earlier. In fact, your innate talent is extremely rare in my lifetime, perhaps not even one in ten years. Within the South Wind Domain, your achievements will soon be on par with Xing Yue Lin Bingxue. You have an incredibly bright future ahead of you, there's no need to follow me here and take risks."
"Oh, really? Bailong, you can finally face your own heart and speak a fair word." Sun Yan's eyes lit up and said: "Come on, tell me, brother, just how formidable are the Four Great Arrogant Suns?"
Upon hearing this, Bailong couldn't help but feel a wave of weakness. Did this guy even listen to what he said?
