Chapter 241 Dragon's Roar Sound Technique
"These sonic martial arts techniques are indeed strange, as they can penetrate the martial artist's internal energy."

If it were a martial artist who had condensed Qi into Yuan, they would have been injured by the sound wave as soon as it entered their body.

However, given Gu Shaoan's constitution, these sound waves that invaded his body were unlikely to cause him any harm.

Once the vital energy is activated, the sound wave energy that invaded the body will instantly dissolve completely.

"Zheng~"

Just then, several sharp voices emanated from the Heavenly Demon Harp.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen sonic blades, like ripples on water, struck again.

With the blessing of the罡元 (罡元 is a type of internal energy), Gu Shaoan's perception was also enhanced.

The next instant, these sonic blades touched the protective aura shield around Gu Shaoan once again.

Same as before.

When these sonic blades reached him, they ignored the protective aura that Gu Shaoan had gathered around him and continued to rush towards him.

Just then, Gu Shaoan twisted his right wrist in his sleeve, and a dragon's roar suddenly burst forth from his body.

The next instant, the sonic blades in front of Gu Shaoan disintegrated like punctured water balloons the moment the dragon's roar echoed.

Seeing this, Gu Shaoan felt reassured.

"Indeed, sound waves are invisible, and the best way to deal with these attacks formed from sound waves is also through sound waves."

It seemed that he had anticipated that his attack would be useless against Gu Shaoan.

Huang Xuemei's ten fingers moved wildly across the strings like butterflies flitting among flowers, like a whirlwind.

The music that echoed around them suddenly became more urgent.

The sound of the zither at this moment was like a dense barrage of sharp arrows, filled with a chilling and murderous aura, making one's heart tremble.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh"

As the music changed, true essence continuously flowed into the Heavenly Demon Harp through Huang Xuemei's hands.

In an instant, thousands of slender, pale blue energy blades appeared out of thin air from the strings of the zither, surging forth as if drawn by a magnet.

Each of these air blades was only half a foot long, as thin as a willow leaf, yet as refined as fine steel and cold iron. Their edges vibrated rapidly in the air, creating imperceptible but incredibly sharp ripples.

The air blades were as fast as lightning, yet they were also overwhelming, instantly filling the space several feet in front of Gu Shaoan.

The mere humming sound produced when the pale blue air blades tore through the air was enough to prove their sharpness.

Just as the thousands of pale blue sound blades surged forth and landed on the protective aura surrounding Gu Shaoan.

The incredibly sharp, pale blue sonic blade, capable of easily slicing through steel plates, seemed to have collided with the vast and boundless Vajra Realm Mountain. All its kinetic energy and sharpness were mercilessly neutralized, shattered, and annihilated in the face of its indescribable solidity and resilience.

In the blink of an eye, the impenetrable storm of sonic blades was completely blocked by the protective aura surrounding Gu Shaoan.

In contrast, Gu Shaoan remained as steady as a mountain under the protective aura, not even his clothes fluttering.

However, at that moment, Gu Shaoan suddenly felt a momentary dizziness in his brain.

But it returned to normal in the next instant.

"Hmm? A mental energy attack?"

Feeling the dizziness he had just experienced, Gu Shaoan's surprise deepened.

Although she had already anticipated this, Huang Xuemei couldn't help but be amazed when she saw Gu Shaoan standing still and blocking all her attacks with just his condensed qi.

A few breaths later, Huang Xuemei removed her hands from the strings of the Heavenly Demon Harp, and the aura surging around Gu Shaoan dissipated like a gentle breeze.

After calming his internal energy, Gu Shaoan said, "The Heavenly Dragon Sect's 'Eight Sounds of Heavenly Dragon' is indeed unique. I wonder what level Miss Huang has reached in cultivating the 'Eight Sounds of Heavenly Dragon'?"

At this moment, Huang Xuemei had just controlled the true energy in her body to return to her dantian. When Gu Shaoan asked her, Huang Xuemei did not hide anything and directly gave a general account of the situation of the martial art "Tianlong Bayin".

According to Huang Xuemei, the "Tianlong Eight Sounds" consists of eight types of sound-based martial arts, each with different effects.

The eight-style sound-based martial arts techniques can be combined in any way, resulting in endless variations.

Each time a practitioner can integrate one of the sound-based martial arts techniques, they can advance to the second level, and the power of the martial arts will suddenly double.

The highest level, the ninth level, is "All Eight Sounds Emerge".

The last move Huang Xuemei used was the "Broken Gold Melody" and "Soul-Seizing Tune" from the "Tianlong Bayin".

Among them, the one that can draw spiritual energy into sound techniques is the "Soul-Capturing Tune".

"The sixth level alone already possesses such power. The Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds is truly wondrous."

Although the attempt hadn't lasted long, Huang Xuemei hadn't used her full strength.

But that was enough for Gu Shaoan to understand the power and strangeness of "Tianlong Bayin".

If other martial artists who have condensed their Qi into Yuan were to face Huang Xuemei's strange "Tianlong Eight Sounds" and did not have enough understanding of it, they might find themselves on the defensive as soon as the battle began.

This is why Gu Shaoan wanted to learn about "Tianlong Bayin" through Huang Xuemei.

It should be noted that there are other sound-based martial arts similar to "Tianlong Eight Sounds" in the martial arts world.

If Gu Shaoan did not have sufficient understanding of the characteristics of sound-based martial arts beforehand, he would inevitably suffer losses if he encountered it suddenly in the future.

At this moment, Gu Shaoan suddenly remembered the method he had used to deal with those sonic blades with the unique dragon roar of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.

A thought suddenly popped into Gu Shaoan's mind.

"Since the palm force can generate a unique dragon roar when the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms is used, can the sound of the dragon roar also have the effect of a sonic martial art?"

This thought, like a pebble thrown into a still lake, stirred ripples in Gu Shaoan's heart.

Then, Gu Shaoan focused his mind on his own body.

After circulating his internal energy through the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms for one cycle, Gu Shaoan slightly spread his five fingers on his right hand and suddenly pressed down with his palm facing down.

"Ang~"

The next moment, a dragon's roar suddenly burst forth from Gu Shaoan's body.

The powerful palm strike, combined with the internal energy, instantly condensed into a three-zhang-long dragon-shaped energy around Gu Shaoan, slowly flowing around his body.

As the vital energy surged, the sound of dragon roars echoed continuously.

However, as the dragon's roar grew louder, Gu Shaoan's brows furrowed sharply.

"Although there is the sound of a dragon's roar, how can we transform this sound into sound waves to defend against enemies, and condense it into a sonic blade?"

Although he could amplify the dragon's roar to be louder and more impactful, even causing the surrounding sand and stones to tremble, this vibration was more like a diffused, indiscriminate energy. It was not like the "Eight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon," which made the sound blade formless and shapeless, yet could switch between reality and illusion in the next second.

Amidst these questions, Gu Shaoan's mind was like a maze, the deeper he went, the less he could find the answer.

However, just as Gu Shaoan's thoughts seemed to be stuck in a tangled mire, an indescribable feeling of coolness and clarity suddenly poured into his crown chakra without warning, as if his mind and consciousness had been cleansed by a clear spring from the heavens.

The effect of the "enlightenment" stat was triggered again.

Under the influence of the entry's effect, Gu Shaoan's mind instantly sank into a state of clarity.

My thoughts, which had been somewhat stagnant, began to flow freely and lightly.

Thoughts flowed like a spring, one idea after another rising in my mind, only to be quickly rejected.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Gu Shaoan. He remembered the few seemingly ordinary yet strangely rhythmic sound waves that Huang Xuemei had created when she first plucked the strings of her zither, which directly caused his internal energy to resonate slightly, ignoring his protective aura.

The visuals, the sound, and even the subtle sense of "synchronization" at that moment were magnified infinitely and made incredibly clear in this state of "enlightenment"!
"Oh, right, the audio."

"Ordinary sonic techniques are essentially nothing more than transforming a martial artist's true qi or true essence into enhanced sonic energy through special techniques."

"The deeper and purer the skill, the stronger the power of the sound waves generated."

"The true qi and true essence in a martial artist's body are no longer the force that directly acts on the meridians, fists, palms, or weapons, but are 'shaped' into sound wave vibrations with specific frequencies, amplitudes, and directions."

"When the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms is in operation, it inherently carries the sound of a dragon's roar. Its core lies in the control of resonance and frequency, thereby condensing sound waves."

It was after these thoughts jumped out of his mind that Gu Shaoan suddenly had a sense of clarity, like seeing the sun after the clouds had parted.

The confusion in my heart and the stagnation in my thoughts vanished in an instant, like ice and snow melting under boiling water!

As his thoughts raced, Gu Shaoan suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze shining brightly, like the first starry sky.

The constantly circulating energy pathways within the body suddenly changed.

"The dragon appears in the field"

As his right hand pressed down, the palm force mixed with the vital energy condensed once again around Gu Shaoan, forming eight dragon-shaped energy streams, each ten feet long.

"hold head high--"

Instantly, a series of dragon roars, deeper and more profound than ever before, burst forth from these dragon-shaped energies.

This dragon's roar lacked some of its wild and arrogant howl, but possessed a more distinct and penetrating sense of vibration.

It was as if countless fine sonic serrations were resonating and echoing.

As Gu Shaoan's palms moved, nine pale golden dragon-shaped energies, condensed from pure internal energy and palm force, swirled and moved around Gu Shaoan as the center.

The sounds of dragon roars emanated from the bodies of these dragon shadows.

Looking at Gu Shaoan, who was surrounded by dragon-shaped energy, from three zhang away, Huang Xuemei's eyes flashed with doubt.

However, when Huang Xuemei's gaze fell upon Gu Shaoan's focused expression, as if he were pondering something, she did not speak. Instead, she slowly turned around and scanned her surroundings, quietly protecting Gu Shaoan.

The vast amount of vital energy continuously circulated within Gu Shaoan's body. As Gu Shaoan mobilized his vital energy, the dragon roar emanating from his body was sometimes high-pitched and loud, and sometimes low and deep like a deep abyss.

Powerful gusts of wind continuously emanated from Gu Shaoan.

At this moment, Gu Shaoan seemed to be in a peculiar state, constantly searching for his own unique point of resonance.

An hour later.

With a wave of her hand, Huang Xuemei unleashed a blade of energy, leaving a three-zhang-long scratch on the ground. She subtly persuaded several martial artists who had been passing by but were drawn to Gu Shaoan by the dragon-shaped energy around him to leave.

Just as these passing martial artists had gone far away, the nine dragon-shaped energies around Gu Shaoan once again emitted a dragon's roar.

However, this time, as the dragon's roar echoed, a visible pale golden ripple suddenly spread out from Gu Shaoan's body.

Amidst the rippling waves, within a five-zhang radius of Gu Shaoan, the withered leaves and tiny stones seemed to be struck by an invisible high-frequency oscillator, silently crushed into dust indistinguishable to the naked eye.

Gu Shaoan's eyes flashed as he took in this scene.

"It's done!"

Although this sound wave was only used in the most rudimentary way and was far less mysterious and strange than Huang Xuemei's "Tianlong Eight Sounds", it undoubtedly showed that Gu Shaoan's idea was not wrong.

Furthermore, today's insights have shown Gu Shaoan another path for future cultivation of the "Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms".

Even today's insights have helped Gu Shaoan advance the "Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms" to the level of "transforming the domain of intention".

"It seems that I will have to find some time later to collect some sound-based martial arts techniques, learn from them, and broaden my thinking."

Meanwhile, seeing the faint golden ripples emanating from Gu Shaoan's body, Huang Xuemei, who was protecting him, finally understood what Gu Shaoan had been researching for the past hour.

"After only experiencing the 'Eight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon' for a short while, he was able to draw inferences from it and combine it with his own martial arts to develop a method of sound-based martial arts?"

To reach the level of Condensing Yuan Qi in his early twenties, and to have the strength to overpower a ruthless figure like the Demon Master Pang Ban, no one would doubt Gu Shaoan's talent.

But understanding and experiencing it firsthand bring completely different feelings.

Just like Huang Xuemei at this moment, looking at Gu Shaoan who was surrounded by several dragon-shaped energy energies, Huang Xuemei was horrified by the martial arts talent that Gu Shaoan displayed.

After a long while, and after carefully comprehending and experiencing what he had just realized, Gu Shaoan controlled the internal energy within his body to return to his dantian.

The addition of this new method greatly improved Gu Shaoan's mood.

As he approached Huang Xuemei, Gu Shaoan said with a smile, "I'm sorry to have troubled you, Miss Huang, to protect me earlier."

Although this place is located in the suburbs, it is not particularly remote.

People also passed by on the official road along the way.

If Huang Xuemei hadn't been protecting him the whole time, Gu Shaoan would have been affected if even a passerby had disturbed him, forcing him to break free from his clear state and interrupt his thoughts.

Once inspiration is missed, even if Gu Shaoan has the "enlightenment" attribute, he doesn't know when he will be able to seize that inspiration again.

Hearing the voice, Huang Xuemei, who had been lost in thought, came back to her senses and said slowly, "You're welcome."

After glancing at the sky, Gu Shaoan said, "We've already wasted a lot of time, let's get going as soon as possible!"

Huang Xuemei asked, "You just used up a lot of your internal energy during cultivation. Do you want to wait until you recover?"

Gu Shaoan smiled and said, "It's alright."

Seeing this, Huang Xuemei gave Gu Shaoan a deep look.

Seeing that Gu Shaoan didn't seem to be forcing himself, she nodded and said no more. Then she put the case containing the Heavenly Demon Harp back on her back and continued on her way with Gu Shaoan.
