Sword drawn from the constellations, poison as its edge.

Chapter 214 The initial achievement of magical power
Upon hearing the name Jiang Mingzhe had chosen, Lao Xiao curled his lip.

Gu Zidao said, "The principle behind this Thunderous Divine Might Technique is roughly like this. Now, try it and see if you can master it."

Jiang Mingzhe also pursed his lips, said nothing more, took two steps away, and began to try to practice his kung fu.

The vast internal energy circulated within the body and, according to the requirements of kung fu, split into bundles that began to twist and turn.

The Northern Darkness True Qi is extremely gentle in nature. The hurdle that Xiao Yuanshan struggled to overcome back then was easily passed by Jiang Mingzhe.

Once internal energy leaves the meridians, it is as if it has been freed from its restraints and immediately spreads out. This step is to slow down the rate at which it dissipates.

While Jiang Mingzhe was focused on manipulating his internal energy, a thought suddenly occurred to him: the outward projection of finger force relies on the tiny meridians in the fingers to be projected out, thus being relatively concentrated. The Six Meridians Divine Sword transforms finger force into sword energy, which is projected out along the fingertips and remains concentrated for a long time. Could it also have such a "twisting" step?

He then thought of the Seven Child Swords, which also had the function of condensing sword energy without dissipating. He thought to himself that he would have to study it carefully later. If he circulated his internal energy according to the natural veins in the sword body, wouldn't that be equivalent to cultivating invisible sword energy?
At this moment, his internal energy had seeped out from his dantian and was trying to wrap around the outer wall of a blood vessel.

This was originally an extremely difficult step. If the internal energy was not concentrated, it would be difficult to wrap around the blood vessels and flow smoothly. If it was too concentrated, it might directly sever the blood vessels. How to control the balance required an extremely abnormal level of mental strength.

However, Jiang Mingzhe had a different approach. He did not adjust the "tightness" of his internal energy, but rather subtly changed its nature. Different types of internal energy naturally have cold and hot, loose and tight aspects. Although he still needed to adjust them carefully, he saved a lot of effort.

Step by step, from blood vessels to internal organs, and then from bones and muscles, after an hour or two, Jiang Mingzhe suddenly exhaled gently, feeling as if his internal energy had formed a new organ or channel, connecting and condensing his body more closely.

He looked up at Xiao Yuanshan, only to see a surprised smile slowly spreading across Xiao Yuanshan's face.

This feeling is extremely strange, as if time around you has slowed down.

Jiang Mingzhe threw a punch, and Xiao Yuanshan hurriedly blocked it. The moment Xiao Yuanshan moved, Jiang Mingzhe had already made his judgment:
The opponent planned to take a step back, raising his right hand to block while simultaneously pulling his left fist upwards, clearly preparing to block Jiang Mingzhe's fist and then immediately launch a counterattack.

He didn't change his move and just threw a punch. Sure enough, Xiao Yuanshan stepped back to block it and threw a left punch. Jiang Mingzhe dodged to the side and kicked at Xiao Yuanshan. As soon as Xiao Yuanshan turned around, Jiang Mingzhe immediately saw that he was going to jump to the side.

As soon as his toe kicked past, Xiao Yuanshan leaped out, almost brushing past his toes.

Jiang Mingzhe was prepared. He flashed forward and pounced. After seven or eight moves, Xiao Yuanshan retreated continuously, gradually becoming flustered and shouting, "Stop! Stop!" Jiang Mingzhe leaped back, his face full of ecstatic joy!
He already knew in his heart: after activating this technique, his reaction speed would be at least 30% faster than Xiao Yuanshan's!
Xiao Yuanshan was already extremely skilled in martial arts, and knowing the power of this unique skill, he relied on the tactic of constantly retreating and using space to buy time to barely hold off a few rounds. If they fought for another ten rounds, Jiang Mingzhe was confident that he would win!

Seeing how happy he was, Xiao Yuanshan was secretly jealous, even though it was the technique he had taught him. He said with ill intent, "Kid, don't be too smug. Stop practicing and take another look."

Jiang Mingzhe stopped practicing as instructed. The internal energy that permeated his muscles, bones, skin, internal organs, and blood vessels returned to his dantian like a tide. He felt his body sink, and his expression changed immediately: In just a short while, at least 20% of his internal energy had been consumed!

He couldn't help but recall the Battle of Yanmen Pass described by Monk Zhiguang. Although Xiao Yuanshan initially displayed extremely high martial arts skills, he did not have an overwhelming advantage. He was entangled by seven or eight experts and could not spare any attention. However, after his wife was killed, he suddenly went berserk. With just one glance, he glared at Monk Zhiguang, making him tremble with fear!
Then came Xiao Yuanshan's killing spree!
According to Zhiguang, he first swept his arms out to the side, snatched the weapons from the two men, and killed them with a stab and a slash. Then, he moved like a rabbit and a falcon, as fast as a ghost. "In a short while, eleven of us twenty-one people had died at his hands. All eleven of them were martial arts masters!"

Seeing this, Xuan Ci and Wang Jiantong also became fierce and fought him to the death, but Xiao Yuanshan continued to kill people with every move. In the end, he kicked Wang Jiantong over and then kicked Xuan Ci down, winning a great victory without being injured.

When Jiang Mingzhe first heard about it, he didn't think much of it. But now, after careful consideration, he realized that the entire process from Xiao Yuanshan's outburst to the end of the fight probably didn't even last a hundred rounds!
If it weren't for this crushing massacre, Murong Bo wouldn't have been so terrified that he trembled for seven days while holding his wife.

Thinking of this, Jiang Mingzhe nodded, thinking that if he hadn't exhausted his internal energy, with the martial arts skills that Xiao Yuanshan displayed back then, he shouldn't have been pierced by the tree and suffered such a serious injury that he almost couldn't survive.

At this moment, Xiao Yuanshan laughed loudly: "Do you understand now? Although the Thunder God's Might is sharp and invincible, it is really hard to sustain. Thunder, thunder, flashes and rings. If it is always shining, can it still be called thunder?"

It's always on; that's a light bulb!
Knowing the limitations of the technique, Jiang Mingzhe was not disappointed. He thought that accumulating internal strength was a slow and painstaking process for others. Even if they swallowed some rare and precious herbs, there was a limit to the amount of internal strength they could increase. But for him, it was not difficult at all.

His eyes were gleaming at that moment, as he considered a possibility:
If one's internal energy is abundant enough, will it overflow from the meridians, fill the whole body, and ultimately complete a qualitative change in one's life level? Will one be able to maintain that superhuman state for a long time?
Xiao Yuanshan was surprised that he had such ambitions. He stepped forward, patted him, and said earnestly, "There is one more thing. Your speed of circulating your internal energy is still too slow. Do you know that when I circulated my internal energy, it only took me a breath?"

Yes, a slow transformation time is definitely a big no-no!
Jiang Mingzhe nodded. As soon as Watano drew his sword, the Dragon Warrior would appear in a flash. But Master Shibaragu had to find a phone booth and insert a phone card to call the War God Maru. If it weren't for the fact that they were in a children's animation world, they would have been trampled to death by the enemy with such inefficiency.

Train! Train like crazy!
Jiang Mingzhe began to practice the Thunder God's Might Skill continuously. Xiao Yuanshan drank while patiently giving him instructions, and the time it took for Jiang Mingzhe to transform became shorter and shorter each time.

By sunrise, Jiang Mingzhe was exhausted, but Xiao Yuanshan was quite pleased and satisfied with his progress.

Nodding, he said, "Your talent is no less than mine back then. Although the time it takes for an incense stick to burn is still long, it's enough to make a name for yourself. Kid, get a good night's sleep now, and when you get up in the evening, go and give those Shaolin monks a good whack on the head!"
