Chapter 2: The Vanishing Bowstring!
Tang Lin slowly opened his eyes.
"Wu Zhe San Jing..." Tang Lin clenched his fist, feeling a burst of explosive power surging through his body.
Once the third aperture is opened, the body's qi and blood vessels will be unblocked, strength will increase dramatically, and the potential hidden in the human body will be activated.
According to the Wu Dian, a strong warrior has three boundaries: immense strength of over 10,000 jin, an impervious body that cannot be penetrated by swords or spears, and blood and energy like jade pulp, with wounds healing extremely quickly. Tang Lin's eyes flashed, and he used his fingernails to fiercely scratch the back of his hand, his fingernails sharp as knives. Only then did he manage to tear open the skin on the back of his hand, revealing shallow bloody marks.
However, under Tang Lin's gaze, the blood stain quickly healed and disappeared in an instant, without even leaving a scar!
Tang Lin was secretly shocked.
"A warrior at the third boundary already possesses such incredible power and physical prowess; a warrior at the fourth or fifth boundary would be even stronger?"
For a moment, Tang Lin's heart was filled with fervor for martial arts.
At this time, after several hours of star power tempering, the cultivation on the star platform came to an end, and everyone's martial gods went down from the platform and left.
A red shadow flashed before Tang Lin's eyes, and he saw his second sister standing in front of him.
"Little silly, not bad at all. Judging from your appearance, it seems you've reached the third realm of martial arts." Tang Xiao Feng bent down, smiling as she looked at Tang Lin, her soft and smooth hair falling from her ear to the edge of her face, emitting a faint fragrance.
Tang Lin's heart moved slightly, and he said: "Second sister, what realm are you in now?"
Tang Xiaofeng pinched his cheek and smiled: "What, do you still want to catch up with your elder sister? However, looking at your progress speed, I'm afraid you'll really be able to catch up in the future."
Tang Lin smiled and chuckled.
"It's been three or four months since I arrived at this Star Pavilion, and now I'm a Martial Artist of the Fifth Realm." Tang Xiao Feng ruffled Tang Lin's hair, smiling and saying: "You'd better work harder, okay?"
Tang Lin's heart skipped a beat. In just four or five months, his second sister had actually advanced from the third realm of martial arts to the fifth realm!
Wu Zhe Wu Jing, also known as Miao Jing, is a state where the wrist meridian is unblocked, and control over the wrist reaches an astonishing level. One can write with grains of millet, pin down ants with flying needles, and perform techniques at lightning-fast speed that are hard to see clearly. Those who reach this realm will have even more powerful martial arts skills when performing Wu Gong Mi Jian!
"Come on, I'll take you for a walk." Tang Xiao Feng pulled Tang Lin down from the Star Platform and walked with him, saying: "The training of these thirty-three star platforms can bring great improvement to the body. No matter how important things are, they cannot be missed in the star platform cultivation."
Tang Lin nodded heavily.
He had already touched the third acupoint from the star domain last time, but it was a bit vague. This time, as soon as he started cultivating, he directly opened it up. The power of the stars on this star platform is indeed very beneficial.
Tang Xiaofeng gazed at the top ten star platforms, and said with yearning: "Sitting on those top ten star platforms, the power of the stars felt is far beyond what we can compare to in our position. Moreover, people sitting on the top ten star platforms have the opportunity to enter the ancient ruins every half a year."
"The ancient cave mansion, I don't know what it looks like." Tang Lin sighed and said: "I heard that there are many treasures inside, I really want to go in and take a look."
"With our current strength, let's just forget about it." Tang Xiao Feng sighed and said: "Master has said before that to enter the ancient ruins, one must have reached the level of a Martial God, otherwise it would be easy to fall inside. Even if you are a strong Martial God, if you're not careful, you can still die."
Tang Lin secretly cursed in his heart.
"This month end, I will go to the Demon Realm for hunting." Tang Xiao Feng looked at Tang Lin and smiled: "At that time you can come together too."
Tang Lin was shocked and asked: "Where is the demon domain?"
Tang Xiao Feng smiled mysteriously and pulled Tang Lin to the edge of the White Jade Stone Plaza. Tang Lin looked down and immediately gasped in shock. This White Jade Stone Plaza was actually suspended in mid-air, and below it was a lush green forest that stretched as far as the eye could see, with towering mountain peaks rising into the distance.
"This is the Demon Realm below." Tang Xiao Feng blinked her eyes and said, "The Star Pavilion is suspended in the sky, when the time comes we will go down to hunt, Little Stupid, are you afraid?"
"Afraid?" Tang Lin rubbed his nose and thought to himself: "The ones who should be afraid are those monsters."
As a descendant of the Demon Vanquisher, what's there to fear when encountering demons?
"When the time comes, I will protect you." Tang Xiao Feng said with a smile: "Hunting demons is very important. These demons have many precious materials on their bodies, and there are also demon pills. If we can get a few of them, it will be of great help to our strength."
"Hmm." Tang Lin nodded.
At that time, Tang Lin and his second sister strolled around the Star Pavilion, chatting about everything under the sun, including their family. Tang Lin told her all about participating in the Kickboxing Championship, how the Pure Yang Martial Arts manual was stolen by the Tianlong Martial Arts Academy, and so on. Listening to this, Tang Xiaofeng's anger towards the Tianlong Martial Arts Academy grew, and she vowed that once she returned, she would definitely destroy the Tianlong Martial Arts Academy.
In the evening, Tang Xiao Feng returned to the 18th floor and began his own cultivation. Tang Lin also started practicing the body method of "Endless Starry Sky" and stood on a thin rope, training his shooting skills.
When Tang Lin slept, he would lie on the bed and watch this mysterious painting scroll to enhance his own spiritual power. When his spiritual power was strong enough, his resistance to demonic spells would be even stronger.
Tang Lin gazed at the painting scroll.
Gradually infatuated.
Buzz~
Suddenly, a faint hum seemed to appear in his mind, and Tang Lin's heart became clear and transparent in an instant, as if he could see everything between heaven and earth.
"Huh?" Tang Lin gazed at the mysterious painting scroll and suddenly discovered that the guqin in the woman's hand on the painting seemed to be missing a string.
Tang Lin rubbed his eyes and looked carefully again, only to find that a string was indeed missing.
"What's going on?" Tang Lin was shocked in his heart, the strings on this painting actually disappeared, such a thing is simply unbelievable!
Tang Lin furrowed his brow, thinking hard but still couldn't come up with a reason. Seeing that the sky had already darkened and he still had to undergo rigorous training the next day, he could only put this strange matter aside and fell asleep.
……
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a month has passed.
Tang Lin's life fell into a monotonous cultivation routine. Cultivation was dull, so the birth of strong martial artists was rare, because in this world, people who could endure loneliness were truly few.
For the past month, Tang Lin has been mainly practicing his footwork and shooting skills. As for the Seven Star Sword Technique, Tang Lin has temporarily put it aside. After all, he is not yet fourteen years old. Once he has forged his own weapon, he will resume training, which will be more efficient.
After exercise.
Tang Lin's physical skills gradually matured, and although he started learning martial arts late, this month of training allowed him to exhibit lightness skills, easily crossing high walls three or four zhang tall without using brute force.
Although it has not yet reached the entry level of the first layer of "Endless Starry Sky", the progress is already very obvious. As for shooting, within a hundred meters, even when running, it will not deviate from the target.
Apart from practicing, Tang Lin followed Xiao Hui in learning talismans, array methods and training his finger strength.
At night, I watch the mysterious scroll and ponder the missing string of the zither.
……
A sunny sky with an infinite view, on the White Jade Plaza.
Tang Lin walked to the end of the square, and saw his second sister standing far away in a misty cloud, like a beautiful red glow, full of tenderness and absolute beauty.
By the side of the second sister, there was a young man in white clothes, handsome and elegant, with an air of cold pride all over his body.
Tang Lin recognized this person, whose name was Zhang Yan, and who was one of the eighteen scholars on the Star List.
"Little silly." Tang Xiao Feng saw Tang Lin, her eyes lit up, and she smiled as she ran over, looking him up and down, saying: "Are you all ready?"
"Hmm." Tang Lin nodded slightly.
Zhang Yan followed, smiling at Tang Lin and said: "It's really unfair, both of you siblings can join the Star Pavilion, it seems that all the geniuses in this world have been reincarnated into your family."
Tang Lin smiled slightly.
Tang Xiaofeng said with a bad temper: "You're just making jokes."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Everything is ready, let's go." As he spoke, his palm shook, and a beam of light flew out from his sleeve, spinning in the sky several times. The light grew larger and transformed into a long sword as white as frost.
"This is the flying sword in the ancient ruins of the Dongfu?"
Zhang Yan smiled lightly and said, "Yes, this sword is called 'Hanshuang'. Come on up, be careful not to fall." As he spoke, he controlled the flying sword to stop at the feet of several people.
Tang Xiao Feng grasped Tang Lin's palm tightly and said, "Hold on to me." As she spoke, she led Tang Lin forward.
This flying sword was about half the size of a door panel. Tang Lin's heart was filled with wonder, and as soon as his foot stepped on it, he felt the flying sword slightly sink downwards before quickly returning to normal. Tang Lin's body had already completely stood on top of it, his heart tense with anxiety, for if he fell off this flying sword, he feared that he would be smashed to pieces.
He tightly hugged his second sister's slender waist, pressed his head against her back, and smelled the faint fragrance between her hair, only to feel a little calm.
At this time, Zhang Yan had already stepped onto the flying sword, his expression calm and composed. With a pointing of his palm, the flying sword moved according to his will, whistling as it flew quickly into the clouds, sweeping down towards the White Jade Stone Plaza below.
Tang Lin only heard the sound of wind whistling in his ears, his heart tense with his eyes closed, but he couldn't help feeling curious and excited, carefully opening his eyes to look.
The sky and earth were spinning, the ground beneath his feet was getting closer and closer, Tang Lin felt like a water lily in the wind, swaying without any center of gravity.
Before long, the flying sword landed in a forest. Tang Xiao Feng obviously had such an experience before, and her expression was calm and composed. She pulled Tang Lin off the flying sword with a light jump, landing on the grassy ground, and smiled playfully at Tang Lin: "Are you scared?"
Tang Lin thought of how she used to tease him when they were young, and suddenly had an idea. He realized that Zhang Yan was a Martial God with no ability to fly, so controlling the flying sword would be quite dangerous. After all, there are many ways to die, but a Martial God falling to their death wouldn't sound too good. It's likely that this flying sword has some kind of protective function, able to protect the person on it from falling off.
Looking at Er Jie's cunning eyes, Tang Lin sighed bitterly in his heart.
"Let's go." Zhang Yan put away his flying sword and smiled at Tang Lin.
