Invicibles
The Strange Valley O
Back in his small courtyard in the Eastern Courtyard, Huang Xiaolong sat on a wooden bed rethinking the scenery in the Northern Courtyard. Both Huang Wei and his father's arrogant, cold, and hypocritical performance caused a trace of hatred to appear in his heart.
Originally, he had some doubts when he planned to pitifully defeat Huang Wei during the end of the Clan Assembly this year. But now, it's completely evaporated.
"It seemed, Huang Ming thought the position of the Main Lord would not be detached from his finger!" Huang Xiaolong sneered.
Ever since Huang Wei's martial spirit awakened, the majority of the elders sought to get closer to Huang Ming who brought the previous incident regarding the Battle of Qi and, along with today's Northern Courtyard scene.
A short while later, suppressing his hostility, Huang Xiaolong began to run Xuan Qin's cultivation technique to train his battle qi.
A two-headed snake martial spirit appeared, floated behind Huang Xiaolong, and began devouring the spiritual energy of the surrounding world. Huang Xiaolong noticed that after his advancement into a Second Order warrior, his martial spirit speed in absorbing spiritual energy had increased substantially.
Moreover, the two two-headed snake martial spirits that were previously palm-sized had grown twice as much, its black light and blue light becoming thicker and brighter. As the two-headed snake martial spirit devoured spiritual energy from the surroundings, black and blue lights constantly glittered in the room.
Several strands of spiritual energy were absorbed into Huang Xiaolong's meridians, converted into continuous battle qi, flowing along the meridians of the second layer over and over again.
A few days passed in an instant.
These past few days, Huang Xiaolong had once again practiced like a madman regardless of the time.
The result of today's training was that Huang Xiaolong had managed to reach the peak of the Second Order early on.
During this period, Huang Peng and Su Yan stopped by every day to Huang Xiaolong's small courtyard to inspect it. Seeing their son training in such a crazy way, both Huang Peng and Su Yan felt depressed. Su Yan even started to quietly cry because although Huang Peng and Huang Xiaolong had never mentioned in detail about what was happening in the Northern Courtyard, they were not, he still managed to find out what happened a few days ago from the manor servant gossip.
Half a month has passed.
In this half a month, Huang Xiaolong trained his battle qi in his small courtyard or trained his Body Metamorphosis Book in the back mountain. Since the Body Metamorphose Scripture was a secret, he could only sneak out to train in the back mountain at night.
Under the cover of the darkness of the night within the dense forest stood a small figure in a strange position.
A dark night, dense forest trees, and a small figure stood there in a strange position. This scene is complete with moonlight shining through the cracks in the foliage, marking the ground with soft, silvery spots.
With his hands on his head, Huang Xiaolong carried out the Laws of the Body Metamorphosis Scripture, drawing in the world's spiritual energy, making him visible to the naked eye. Energy could be seen radiating into Huang Xiaolong's meridians, turning into internal strength before fusing within his dantian below his navel.
The night gradually faded as the light overtaken the darkness and the dew droplets formed in the grass reflected the sunlight. Huang Xiaolong stopped running through the laws of the Body Metamorphose Scripture before opening his eyes.
Suddenly, Huang Xiaolong shouted softly. Waving both of his palms, his silhouette leaped high above the ground as the shadow of the palm strike fell firmly onto the patch of grass below.
The energy rapidly revolved in the surrounding space, whistling through the wind.
This superior martial skill was something that was inherited from the Huang Xiaolong family in his previous life, the Ethereal Palm.
As Huang Xiaolong's palm struck out, his arm appeared to be unpalpable and intangible, the traces of a palm condensed from the steam printed in the air, each palm strike did not disappear even after a long period of time.
The Ethereal Palm's highest level of mastery, condensed without dissipating, endless internal strength.
In his previous life, Huang Xiaolong was known as a martial arts expert not only because of his physique, but also because of his outstanding comprehension ability.
After a while, the surrounding trees were uprooted, the traces of palms visible on each tree trunk.
Looking at the traces of palms on the tree trunk, Huang Xiaolong's brows furrowed. If this was his previous life, his Ethereal Palm would not have left a visible mark. In the end, it was all because his internal strength was still too weak.
"I wonder, what is the strength of this Martial Spirit World's fighting skill?" Huang Xiaolong thought to himself.
General clan rules only allowed children who had reached at least the middle Fourth Order warriors to practice in clan battle techniques because only by reaching this basic level could they display the power of battle techniques. In the early stages of warriors, they were of little use.
At that moment, Huang Xiaolong suddenly heard a strange voice behind him. Turning around to look, he saw hanging on a large tree not far away, a half-meter-sized creature whose body was purple and had light blue eyes.
“Monkey Spirit Eater Violet!” Huang Xiaolong was stunned.
Huang Xiaolong had seen his image in the old family records of his previous life - The Violet Eater Spirit Monkey was a rare spirit beast.
Seeing Huang Xiaolong look at him, the little purple spirit monkey grinned and squeaked ‘Zhi zhi’, his hand pointing towards Huang Xiaolong. Then he turned around and ran towards the deeper part of the mountain range.
Huang Xiaolong hesitated for a moment before following the little purple monkey into the depths of the mountain range.
What shocked Huang Xiaolong was the speed of the Violet Devourer Spirit Monkey as he swirled among the dense foliage. If not for Huang Xiaolong's training in the Body Metamorphose Scripture and using the Sky Gyration Step, it would be extremely difficult to keep up with the speed of the little purple monkey.
Half an hour later, after crossing many small rivers and forest areas, Huang Xiaolong finally arrived at a strange-looking valley while following the little purple monkey. It was calm within the valley with heavy yin qi spreading out from the inner valley, making Huang Xiaolong furrow his brows.
“Zhi zhi zhi!” As Huang Xiaolong was seriously contemplating whether he wanted to enter the valley, the little purple monkey dashed out from within, squeaking at Huang Xiaolong. Apparently he wanted Huang Xiaolong to follow him into the valley.
After a moment of consideration, Huang Xiaolong raised his foot and stepped into the valley, following behind the little guy. Entering the valley, a thick wave of yin qi smashed into Huang Xiaolong's face, carrying an unpleasant smell. Not far into the valley, there were huge piles and even mountains of dead bones scattered everywhere, belonging to ages long gone.
As they moved deeper into the valley, more and more mountains of bones graced the scene. Even with Huang Xiaolong's two life experiences making up his mind and would be stronger than most children his age, he was unable to remain calm in this situation.
However, just as Huang Xiaolong was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly came onto a vast green grass plain with the fragrance of exotic flowers seeping into the air. It was like the depiction of Eden being painted had materialized into reality. In the middle of the plains, there was a turquoise lake. Huang Xiaolong was stunned when he saw the valley. He would never have imagined the possibility of the front of this valley being filled with dead bones, like a scene from hell, while the other part was a utopia.
At this moment, the little purple monkey climbed onto the mountain cliff, squeaked and pointed towards Huang Xiaolong while pointing to the top of the cliff. Huang Xiaolong walked over and his eyes followed the direction indicated by those little fingers. Growing almost all the way up the cliff top on a short thick green vine are some red fruits.
This red-colored fruit made the person who saw it confused. The fragrance from the fruits smelled in the air, mesmerizing the audience.
"This ... could this be a Yang fruit?" Huang Xiaolong was stunned, extremely shocked.
Yang fruit grows in the land of extreme yin, absorbing the nine types of qi that are between heaven and earth. If consumed by a person cultivating in battle qi, it could not only improve the cultivation of battle qi, but also purify the marrow and give a pulp washing effect, he said, that would bring unimaginable benefits to one's cultivation in the future.

Ethereal Palm - a skill based on the ability to manipulate internal forces €soft/hidden‘ instead of more direct destructive power.
