Chapter 32: The Difficulty of the Realm of Implementing Techniques

  Difficulty in the realm of medical practice

  Xu Feng was shocked and pale, "Thunder element, I never thought that one day I would be able to witness a genius who cultivates the thunder element, it's truly a blessing in three lifetimes!!!"

  "Too much talk is useless, let's see real action!!!"

  Zhou Yuan let out a loud roar, his entire body bursting with thunderous power, flashing with terrifying electric arcs, as he threw a punch at Xu Feng.

  Bang!!!

  The two fiercely clashed fists, flames and electric arcs splashing everywhere. Both were shocked back three steps by the impact of their first confrontation, with neither gaining the upper hand.

  After the clash, the two rushed towards each other again. Zhou Yuan secretly exerted his strength, and the Wild Ox Strength Technique was unleashed, immediately making his power majestic and his internal energy wildly stirring. His strength had increased by more than double from before.

  Boom boom boom boom...

  After exchanging dozens of punches, Zhou Yuan finally gained the upper hand. After all, his Wild Ox Strength Technique was a rare and precious earth-level body-refining technique that could propel an ordinary family into the ranks of the upper-class families in one leap.

  Although Xufeng was very strong, after all, he didn't have a land-level technique. After dozens of rounds, he fell into a disadvantage and was beaten by Zhouyuan, retreating repeatedly.

  "God of War Magic!!" Zhou Yuan silently roared in his heart, and immediately, a massive suction force was transmitted out. Zhou Yuan's palm print landed on Xu Feng's shoulder, and instantly, Xu Feng felt himself unable to resist. What shocked him even more was that his own yuan power was uncontrollably surging out of his body, all of it entering Zhou Yuan's body.

  "What kind of sorcery is this, actually being able to forcibly absorb my yuan energy for your own use!!!"

  Zhou Yuan only absorbed Xu Feng's half-city yuan power, and suddenly counterattacked with a palm strike, knocking Xu Feng to the ground. From the beginning, Zhou Yuan had no intention of killing Xu Feng. On the contrary, from the moment Xu Feng dismounted his horse and abandoned his spear, Zhou Yuan believed that he was an upright and honest person, someone worth befriending. Even if they couldn't be friends, there was no need to kill him.

  "You lost!!" Zhou Yuan said calmly.

  Xu Feng was slapped by Zhou Yuan, but he didn't suffer any serious injury, just a lot of pain. He knew that his opponent had held back, otherwise, if that slap had been delivered with full force, he would probably have died already.

  He was very clear that a mage who cultivates the Thunder Element is what kind of concept, that's a rare talent that only appears once in a thousand years. Although it's said that one out of ten people can cultivate the Thunder Element, that's just the physical condition to cultivate the Thunder Element, whether they can achieve anything or not is still hard to say.

  After all, the Thunder Element is extremely difficult to control. Even if one successfully cultivates it, if their own potential is not enough, they will still be unable to reach a very high level. Therefore, from ancient times to the present, very few people have chosen to cultivate the power of thunder, unless they are an absolute genius; otherwise, no one dares to easily cultivate the power of thunder.

  In other words, those who cultivate the power of thunder and lightning are generally people with sufficient talent and potential. Mediocre people cannot cultivate the power of thunder and lightning, and the success rate is also low to the point where it's unimaginable.

  Xu Feng slowly stood up, "Alright, I admit defeat. You'd better leave quickly, today I'm lucky to have seen a master who cultivates the power of thunder. Hurry up and go, if the city lord finds out, you won't be able to leave. After all, you killed a leader of the guards!!"

  Zhou Yuan nodded, "Xu brother's kindness, I accept. If we meet again in the future, I will definitely make friends with you!!"

  Xu Feng smiled and said, "Good, being able to make friends with a young talent like you is my good fortune, I couldn't ask for more. However, today's situation is urgent, when there's an opportunity in the future, we must definitely get together!!!"

  Zhou Yuan bid farewell to Xu Feng, pulled Wind Arrogant Snow's hand, and quickly passed through Dingyuan City, continuing to move northwards, where the Lawless King City he yearned for was located.

  The two of them were silent all the way, Zhou Yuan couldn't quite put his finger on what he felt for Feng Ao Xue, it was vague and unclear, although he liked her very much, but it hadn't reached the point of adoration.

  Feng Ao Xue suddenly realized that she had genuinely fallen for Zhou Yuan. She yearned to be with him, but due to her feminine pride, she was too embarrassed to express her feelings directly.

  The two walked in silence, occasionally chatting about some trivial matters. Along the way, Zhou Yuan also kept pointing out Feng Ao Xue's cultivation. After leaving Tianyuan City for six days, Feng Ao Xue's cultivation had once again made significant progress, reaching the peak of the fleshly body realm, with his vital energy and spirit resembling the ebb and flow of the tides, only one step away from breaking through to the magical realm and achieving another form of life.

  It was a cool night, like water, in the early spring. The air was still chilly and the moonlight shone down, casting a misty veil over everything, creating a haunting beauty.

  Zhou Yuan and Feng Ao Xue found some dry firewood, lit a bonfire, and were warming themselves up. Neither of them spoke, both sinking into silent cultivation.

  Zhou Yuan had broken through to the Gathering Yuan Realm for six days now. In these six days, he had absorbed half of Zhou Chao's yuan energy and Xu Feng was already half a step away from his realm. His cultivation base had truly stabilized and was slowly advancing towards the Application Realm.

  "The realm of spellcasting is to control the elemental forces outside the body with yuan force, condensing them into powerful spells. The power of spells can be boundless and infinite. A strong practitioner in the realm of spellcasting can cast a spell with a wave of their hand, causing the heavens to collapse and the earth to shatter, and even flatten a mountain peak. The mighty strength of the Cow Tamer's Fist is still just a physical cultivation technique, but it's not a spell. Once you reach the realm of spellcasting, physical cultivation techniques are no longer of much use!!!"

  Zhou Yuan recalled that when Yue Wushuang raised her hand and conjured a flame in the sky, he had been deeply envious of her mastery over the mystic realm. The mysterious and profound aspects of magic were what he yearned to grasp most.

  Zhou Yuan's spirit stirred, and the free lightning in the void was immediately absorbed into his body, then converted into yuan force. An hour later, the yuan force in Zhou Yuan's body reached a state of fullness, unable to attract any more thunderforce.

  Then, Zhou Yuan once again controlled the yuan force in his body, constantly wandering around and refining his internal organs to become stronger. After that, he released the yuan force outside his body, reaching out to control some stray thunder and lightning in the void.

  Yuanli is an intangible force that cannot be seen or touched, but truly exists. It can control elements and make them form spells.

  A formless power was released, and a large amount of thunder elements became active, trying to be gathered by this formless yuan force. As long as these thunder elements could be gathered together, a low-level spell - Thunder Summoning Technique - could be formed!!

  Although it was just the lowest level of magic, this could represent Zhou Yuan's breakthrough to the casting realm.

  Just as the Thunder Element was about to gather together, suddenly, the Yuan Force dried up, and all the Thunder Elements that were about to be gathered together dispersed again, returning to calm.

  The abundant yuan force in Zhou Yuan's body had just been completely depleted, and wave after wave of weakness washed over him, making him drowsy.

  "Alas, my yuanli is still not robust enough, unable to reach the level of gathering elemental forces to form spells. It seems I'm still some distance away from achieving mastery over my techniques!!!" Zhou Yuan said with great regret.
