The Legend of the Condor Heroes: From Being Expelled from Peach Blossom Island

Chapter 386 Wanyan Honglie
Wu Chengyu seized upon this flash of inspiration and applied it to other situations. The blueprints for turbines and compressors given in the bamboo slips had misled him. There was no need to pay much attention to them, since Wu Chengyu couldn't understand them anyway.

He has a background in humanities, the old-fashioned humanities. In his era, the college entrance examination for humanities students consisted of Chinese, mathematics, English, history, and politics. Physics and chemistry were completely unrelated. After his second year of high school, he stopped studying physics and chemistry much, and the little physics knowledge he had left had long since vanished.

Don't ever say you're returning it to your physics teacher, because they won't want it and might not even remember you.

In short, the only physics knowledge Wu Chengyu can recall right now is drawing a simple series or parallel circuit diagram. Giving him the blueprints for a turbocharger is really giving him too much credit.

The bamboo slips actually gave him a concept, a way to control internal energy, a way to store internal energy, or a way to output internal energy.

In terms of internal energy control, take the "Star Shift" technique as a reference. This skill is very magical and often produces amazing effects when used correctly, but its shortcomings are obvious.

After using the Star Shift technique, an invisible force field spreads across a three-foot radius around the entire body. It inevitably expands outwards, and although it can control other people's attacks, the control is not strong; at most, it can only redirect their direction.

Therefore, in Tian Long Ba Bu, when Murong Fu encountered a true master, his lack of control over the "Dou Zhuan Xing Yi" technique became apparent, and he was beaten up everywhere.

This kind of force field diffusion means a waste of power. Except for the force field around the direction from which the opponent attacks, the force field in other parts of the body eventually dissipates. Therefore, the "shifting stars" technique is actually very energy-consuming.

Joining the Quanxing Protectorate means improved control over enemy attacks, allowing for redirection when encountering powerful monsters. Furthermore, Wu Chengyu can now use this force field to retrieve objects remotely. However, the problem of wasted power remains unresolved.

One application of turbocharging is to use the exhaust gas energy from the engine exhaust pipe to drive the turbine to rotate at high speed, and then, through the drive shaft, compress the air and send it into the cylinder to increase the intake air density.

The power dissipated by the invisible force field is like waste gas. Wu Chengyu can use the Yin-Yang rotation method he just learned to reclaim this dissipating power so that it is not wasted.

The next step is how to store this power after it is recovered. We need to find something similar to a cylinder. This is also easy to solve. Although Wu Chengyu did not obtain the Beiming Divine Art, he had some understanding of the Beiming Divine Art's method of storing internal energy through the body's acupoints.

With his understanding of the meridians and acupoints of the human body, he could easily find several acupoints to store the withdrawn power. Moreover, he could also try to store internal energy in the acupoints during his regular practice, just in case.

The final compression is crucial. Turbocharging emphasizes that the stored air needs to be cooled to increase density, which is actually thermal expansion and contraction, or the transformation from yang to yin. Doesn't this still require the application of the yin-yang theory?
After defeating the old monster, Wu Chengyu had a thorough understanding of the Yin-Yang transformation that the Xiaoyao Sect had studied for many years, and he could use it with absolute ease.

The things provided in the bamboo slips are all within Wu Chengyu's current capabilities and are entirely achievable.

As for the application and output of these internal forces after storage and compression, there are even more ways to play with them.

Firstly, it means that there are several more places to store internal energy in the body, so that the internal energy reserves are greater and the problem of Wu Chengyu being too young and having insufficient internal energy reserves is solved.

When he faces a stalemate with a master or is surrounded, his endurance will inevitably increase significantly, which can be considered a trump card.

Secondly, it can be used as a trump card to strike instantly when fighting others. Once this compressed internal force is unleashed, its power will be astonishing.

Just like the Toad Stance of the Western Poison, although the appearance and posture are ugly, it is also about compressing one's internal energy to the extreme and then suddenly striking out. The power is more fierce and irresistible than ordinary palm techniques.

In The Legend of the Condor Heroes, if Ouyang Feng had enough time to activate his Toad Stance, Huang Yaoshi would have had to dodge the moment he unleashed it. Even with the most powerful and unparalleled palm technique in the world, the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, Hong Qigong would not want to fight head-on against the Toad Stance at its full power.

Once you understand one method, you understand all methods. This compressed power can also be reused by shifting the stars and changing the constellations.

The compressed force, through the shifting of stars and the movement of the stars, reforms into a force field that is condensed like a physical object. It not only controls direction but can also act as an invisible wall to resist external attacks.

Think of the three-foot-long qi wall of the Shaolin Sweeper Monk in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, which Xiao Feng could block with his unparalleled Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.

As long as Wu Chengyu continues to study this pressurization method, he will eventually be able to develop his own protective aura. He has even thought of a name for it: Crystal Wall.

At that time, he will stand still in place, with the crystal wall in front of him, which can block several moves even if the Five Greats level is involved.

Of course, this goal is a long and arduous journey. What Wu Chengyu can do now is to compress his internal energy when using his lightness skill, and use the "Star Shift" technique to form an invisible air cushion under his feet.

Therefore, when Wu Chengyu uses his lightness skill in the air, an invisible air cushion appears under his feet to provide leverage each time he falls, allowing him to maintain his flying form. From a distance, it looks like he is flying. As long as his internal energy is sufficient, he can even fly for a long time.

The name for this move was already decided. Originally, it was to be called "Free and Unfettered Wind Riding" because it really looks very carefree, like flying in the wind. However, when he thought of the old monster's face before he died, Wu Chengyu always had a feeling that the Free and Unfettered Sect was resurrected. So the final name was "Moon Step", which is also very descriptive.

In short, with the theory of turbocharging, as long as Wu Chengyu studies it carefully, his martial arts cultivation will not improve in terms of realm, but his combat power will increase by at least 30%.

With the Moonwalk skill, Wu Chengyu quickly left the Qinling Mountains. After walking for about an hour, he finally saw a small town in the distance.

He had been a wild man in the mountains for a month and now looked utterly wretched, almost like a beggar. Fortunately, he still had some silver on him. The waiter at the town inn was all smiles when he saw the silver and immediately gave him a superior room. He even thoughtfully brought several buckets of hot water to the room and received a silver coin as a reward.

After tidying himself up, Wu Chengyu transformed back into the dashing young man he once was. Desperate for carbohydrates, he went to a restaurant and promptly devoured three large bowls of mutton stew before finally having the time to check his location. It turned out that after wandering aimlessly through the Qinling Mountains for a month, he had actually returned to Shaanxi province, far from the Xia kingdom and somewhat closer to the Henan region.

The Qinling Mountains span eight provincial-level administrative regions in China, including Qinghai, Gansu, Shaanxi, Henan, Hubei, Sichuan, Chongqing, and Anhui.

The place he is currently in is called Shangzhou, which is the later Shangluo City. It is located right on the border of Henan Province. His current town is only twenty miles east of Shangzhou City, not far away.

However, he soon overheard bad news from the casual conversations of the other customers who were stopping for a bite to eat.

"Do you know? I just came from Shangzhou City, where there are quite a few heads hanging on the city walls."

I heard they were all from the rebel army; I don't know how they fell victim to the Jurchens' cruelty, so many of them died.

"Keep your voice down, and whatever you do, don't mention the rebel army or the bandit army, or we'll get captured by those Jurchens. We can't afford to mess with them."

"I know, I know, but I don't know how these bandits were suddenly killed. We haven't heard from them in a long time."

Upon hearing this, Wu Chengyu felt a pang of anxiety. By now, he and the rebel army were completely one. His Ziwu Ridge Qianlong Cave detachment had long been part of the rebel army, and the rebel army's commander-in-chief was none other than his wife, Hong Niangzi.

Over the years, the rebels recuperated and built up their strength, gradually disappearing from the sight of the people. However, the Jurchens never stopped searching for and capturing the rebels.

However, his wife, Hong Niangzi, was always shrewd and prudent in her actions, so the Jurchens could never catch the rebels and were helpless.

Who would have thought that the first news he received upon returning to Jin territory was that many of the rebels had been killed by the Jin people. How could Wu Chengyu remain indifferent?

Moreover, as far as he knew, there seemed to be a rebel base near Shangzhou. It wasn't particularly important; it wasn't a large place and didn't have many people. It mainly served as a transit point for the rebels to communicate between Shaanxi and Henan. If something happened, it would probably be this base.

Wu Chengyu immediately lost his appetite, put down the silver, and sped off in the direction of Shangzhou.

Before long, he arrived at the gate of Shangzhou City, where there were indeed many heads hanging. At a glance, there were at least twenty or thirty, and they looked like they had been dead for three or four days. The heads had begun to rot, and Wu Chengyu could no longer make out their features.

Without making a fuss, he first transformed his appearance into Lei Datou's likeness, then paid a few coins to enter the town of Shangzhou.

He had never been here before, but since there was a rebel base near Shangzhou, there must have been a liaison station for the rebels in Shangzhou city. These liaison stations were usually shops with special markings at the entrance.

Wu Chengyu carefully investigated and soon found a small steamed bun shop in the main market area of ​​Shangzhou. There was a mountain-shaped pattern on the corner of the wall at the entrance of the steamed bun shop, which was the symbol of the rebel army.

However, the steamed bun shop had been sealed off, with the door wide open and traces of blood at the entrance. There were also obvious informants around the shop.

The fact that the liaison station had been destroyed indicates that the incident occurred at the rebel base in Shangzhou, which has likely been completely destroyed by the Jin people.

Seeing that there was no breakthrough for the time being, and not knowing the exact location of the rebel base, Wu Chengyu turned and left, first finding an inn to stay in.

At night, he quietly sneaked into the county government office in Shangzhou City and soon found a group of people gathered in a room.

A man who looked remarkably similar in demeanor to the Jin spy he had encountered before, and who held a high position, was issuing orders.

“Keep a close eye on those bandit remnants. We have made a great contribution this time. The Sixth Prince has already set off and will be back in Daxing City soon. He will recommend us for credit.”

But this isn't enough. We can use these remnants to lure more bandits here. Most importantly, we need to find their base so we can eradicate the bandits completely.

The others bowed in agreement, but Wu Chengyu raised an eyebrow. The Sixth Prince of the Jin Kingdom—a familiar face he had never met before.

Isn't this Yang Kang's adoptive father, Wanyan Honglie? I never expected that this matter would be related to him.

Moreover, he returned to Daxing, also known as Zhongdu, which was the capital of the Jin Dynasty and is now Beijing.

For a time, Wu Chengyu, who always longed to wander the world and explore the martial arts world, was tempted again. He had been to the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty and the capital of the Western Xia Dynasty, but he had not yet set foot in the capital of the Jin Dynasty.

There are many familiar faces there. I wonder if the Thousand-Handed Butcher Peng Lianhu and his ilk have been recruited by Wanyan Honglie, as well as Wanyan Kang, and Bao Xiruo, whom Wu Chengyu is very interested in. She is quite an extraordinary woman, so how can we not pay her a visit?
