Nangong Liuli saw Li Xian working diligently and did not show weakness either, she arduously practiced the Nangong Family’s martial arts and earnestly researched her core technique "Avoid Jade True Skill".
By noon.
Li Xian’s [Only I have a Heart Skill] had entered the mastery realm, he felt his mind and spirit tremble, his heart chamber resonated continuously, his blood flowed rapidly, his face turned a mix of blue and red, and his body burned like a hot iron.
[Only I have a Heart Skill]
[Skill Level: 12/2000 Mastery]
[Description: You forge your heart and hone your intention, tenacious and unyielding, gradually grasp the mysteries of Only I have a Heart Skill, understand the characteristic of "Strong Heart Quake Qi", with steadfast determination, nothing can resist your will!]
Li Xian immediately drew his spear to test. He performed the "Pulverize" move from the Broken Demon Spear, this move thrust the spear straight out, with no hidden tricks or deceptive changes, only pure killing intent, as if crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood, breaking through anything in its path. It’s an extremely powerful spear technique.
The Ghost Python Spear is extremely heavy, its spear momentum clashes like a mountain. Li Xian imbued with great power, when he executed this move, it was truly earth-shattering. Pure physical power, Martial Arts inner qi, spear technique mastery... all were flawless and overwhelmingly strong.
Nangong Liuli was already astonished. This spear was incomparably formidable, Li Xian focused his eyes, and with a light hum, his heart leapt powerfully, executing the "Strong Heart Quake Qi" of the [Only I have a Heart Skill]. Suddenly, the spear’s inner qi grew stronger by three-fold, its momentum reached an extreme, bursting with a clanging sound.
Li Xian thought: "This spear combined with ’Thunderbolt Finger’ is even more powerful." Once his spear momentum was established, he planted his feet, drew back the spear to regain control. This spear was ultimately not unleashed.
But where the spear point was directed, the wall’s vermilion paint fell in flakes. The tiles on top shattered into powder, and the grass and trees along the path bent over. If this spear had been fully executed, it would have pierced through the wall and courtyard, likely harming passersby along the way.
Nangong Liuli exclaimed: "Such a powerful spear, this little brother has gotten even more formidable. Moreover..." Her beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief. It’s difficult to execute a move, but recapturing the move is even harder. Her keen insight recognized that amongst her clan, there were brothers adept in spear techniques. Being familiar, she understood this spear technique’s viciousness, but it thoroughly tested the user’s pure physical power. If even the slightest bit was lacking, the spear momentum would first rebound. The wielder would be injured before harming the enemy.
She saw such a spear, yet Li Xian could release and recover effortlessly. Inevitably, she was startled: "His pure physical power must be terrifying." Suddenly, her delicate face flushed: "No wonder I was always under his control in those times, unable to resist at all. This ghostly strength, I wonder how it grew."
Li Xian mused: "Only I have a Heart Skill... though not a physical move, it’s superior to a physical move. When I execute Strong Heart Quake Qi, my inner qi surges instantly, stronger than usual by thirty percent! With this attribute, when I confront an opponent, exchange moves, or engage in a standoff, I can use Strong Heart Quake Qi to immediately suppress the opponent, seize the advantage, even directly achieve victory!"
"Useful for Broken Demon Spear, Jade Palm, Four Directions Fist, Iron Copper Body, Setting Sun Bloodsword... all have their purpose."
He immediately tried each one. Strong Heart Quake Qi in a flash, inner qi increased rapidly by thirty percent. Li Xian first experienced the wonders of this unique skill, becoming enamored. Only I have a Heart Skill and "Jade Palm" were contrary, however. Jade Palm’s Qi movement is intricate, like a hidden current in water, complex and difficult to trace. Only I have a Heart Skill’s Strong Heart Quake Qi, in an instant, the inner qi surges violently, like red wood striking a bronze bell. Combining these martial arts techniques instead weakened the power.
However, it harmonized very well with "Pure Gang Qi Clothing". Pure Gang Qi Clothing has a unique application, first concealing inner qi within the garment’s body, then through shaking the Qi clothing, the opponent is struck and knocked back. The opponent feels as though they collided with an invisible wall, having no choice but to retreat to evade. This move is called "Shock Garment", not a martial art, entirely the unique application of Pure Gang Qi Clothing.
Combined with the "Strong Heart Quake Qi" of "Only I have a Heart Skill", at the moment of shocking the garment, the heart shook. The attached strength was stronger by threefold, pushing out the Qi clothing, causing a powerful wind, sweeping outward from the vicinity.
Within the distance of a zhang, being pushed by Pure Gang Qi Clothing, beyond a zhang, the whipped-up gale was enough to knock an ordinary person down.
Li Xian reflected: "I originally underestimated Only I have a Heart Skill! Now comprehending its wonders, I realize the name ’unique skill’ is well-deserved!"
He genuinely didn’t know, "Only I have a Heart Skill" has a flaw. Frequent execution causes the heart pulse to tremble, prone to damage like being pierced by needles. Forcibly executing it further risks sudden death. It demands a very strong heart. And hearts vary from person to person, some are large, some robust and thick. Any subtle discrepancy in the heart, or blockage and stagnation, this "Only I have a Heart Skill’s" capability differs. If the heart pulse is even slightly weak, while forging your heart and honing your intention, it’s extremely easy to injure the heart pulse, not suitable for mastering this skill.
Yet Li Xian possesses [Perfect Appearance], his heart pulse is considered perfect, naturally without congenital insufficiencies, adept at practicing "Only I have a Heart Skill" with abundant ease. Additionally, diligently practicing "Five Viscera Avoiding Dross and Gathering Yang Scripture" day by day, removing viscera impurities, strengthening viscera to cultivate the body, the heart is stronger than others. Such factors cause the flaw of Only I have a Heart Skill to remain hidden.
Truly, "Five Viscera Avoiding Dross and Gathering Yang Scripture" does not disappoint as the ultimate yang foundation, directly targeting the five viscera, avoids many abnormalities and defects. Though Li Xian is not knowledgeable, he vaguely understands this principle, hence [Five Viscera Avoiding Dross and Gathering Yang Scripture] was never neglected.
It led him to reconsider: "Broken Demon Spear has already reached perfection, if I attain the peak, the spear technique will advance considerably. To continue diligently practicing the spear technique, it requires a grind of patience, accumulating until reaching the peak. But I can allocate some time to Only I have a Heart Skill."
As noon sun stood tall. Nangong Liuli’s clothes were soaked in sweat, her refined forehead seeped sweat droplets, she sheathed her longsword, took a handkerchief to wipe her hands, then returned to the stove to cook food. Li Xian exhaled pure breath, removing all impurities, savoring tea in the courtyard pavilion awaiting.
